The Fight for Democracy

NOR England-Ensland o. the million
slain,
Could we, a land 80
With rushing strength in every youthful
vein .y-.
Behold your hand -.
Tremble, and strike again, and yet again,
And see your blood waste on the battlefield
And not to you as to kinsman go -
When that tense line of yours that will
not yield
Before the impious dream maddened foe
Braves every anguish for the whole worlds
sake?
Could we still take
From the wide seas that wash against
our shore
The empty.handed children Of the earth
And teach them freedom and equality
And bid them bend to tyranny no more
And breed their children's children from
their birth
To our own heritage-Democracy-
If for that heritage we did not now
With you, o England. vow
To bear all pain. e.
To forgo gain.
To robe ourselves In black for heroes slain,
To give to give.
Until we live
In the white light of holy peace again!

only as he grows more noble and more
efficient. His Government is he. 1t is
he at his best, reacting altogether more
proudly than he could act alone. Even
the soap-boxers realize the truth of this
and they, too, are getting in line.
Can we ever be a polyglot nation
again? The various and sundry names
in the army casualty lists would suggest
that we cannot. The sacrifices that have
made our army seem to have disposed
of that difficulty. What we have done,
in fact, is to justify, in a way singularly
noble, the whole theory of free govern
ment.
And that brings us back to Colonel
Roosevelt and Mr.. Hurd. In France, in
England, in Russia, in Italy, in those
hard driven corners of the earth where
the people kneel reverently to our flag,
they are beginning to know how nobly
we have justified it. Is it too much to
hope, IN thinking of ,Uar after the wur,
that they shall get realize something, at
least. of all this in Germany?

TWO TAPESTRIES

most gorgeous tapestries the world has
ever seen. Corpuent Henry VIII of Eng
land and long.nosed Francis I of France

Field Of the Cloth of Gold in 1920. The
scene was perhaps the most gorgeous sham
IN history. In short time each of the
two shifty monarchs had changed sides.

were turned to gunpowder.
Tapestry is still playing an international
role, but this time it typifes passionate
sincerity as we'll as mere elegance. The
woven scene, which is to be sent through
the French Ministry of Fine Arts from the
unrivaled workmen of ST. Cloud to Phila-
deiphia, will unquestionably be an artistic
gem. 1t is, however, the loving ideaism
which went into the arrangement Of each
strand of the textile picture which primar-
qy makes it precious.

Mr.. McADOO's RAILROAD DEFICIT

THE outstanding fact in the summary
- of railroad revenue expenses for the
first six months of Government direction
Is that the net income available for pay
Ing the guaranteed dividends and other
returns on the capital invested is about
225,000,o00 less than will be required
OF course an explanation accompanies
the publication of the figures. It Is that
the payment of increased wages dating
back for a considerable period consumed
the revenues that had been earned before
passenger and freight rates were increased
to meet the increased charges. 1t is hoped
that the earnings for the next six months
will be big enough to meet the fixed
charges for that period. If not enough to
wipe out the deficit of the first six months
of Government operation.
Holders Of railroad securities, students
Of the problem Of public versus private
management of public utilities and the
travelling public will await with consider
able interest and curiosity the appearance
OF the report of full years operation of
the roads by the Government.
The travelling public has been compelled
to pay flat three-cents.a-mile rate for the
tickets, with the war tax added. And
shippers have had to pay increased freight
rates and have been compelled to pay in
advance when they shipped any goods, in
stead of allowing the freight to be COL
lected at the point of destination. They
have submitted with such grace as they
could muster because the nation is at war
and because they were told that the in.
creases were necessary as a war measure
The students of government ownership
will criticize Mr.. McAdoo severely for his
wholesale increase of wages and whole.
sale increase of passenger and freight
rates, the increase of wages as a political
measure and the increase of charges in
order to compel the public to pay the bills,
when the Government had refused for
years to permit the railroads to make
slight increases in charges in order to meet
the increased cost Of operation and to re-
place worn-out rolling stock and to make
necessary extensions.
The security holders are not seriously
worried at present. for the government
to the average of a pre-war period. which
will be about per cent.
The showing for the first six months
Is certainly unsatisfactory. Unless 1t Is
very much better for the second six
months the experiment will be condemned
for economic reasons. whatever one may
think about it as a war measure.
