No Wonder They Hesitate.

At the direct desire OF President VIII
son. a bill has been introduced in the
United States Senate, and referred to
committee, which, if enacted into law
would confer dictatorial powers upon
the President during the continuance
Of the war and for one year after the
proclamation Of peace, unless the Presi
dent should choose 10 restore normal
conditions sooner
BY this bill authority is conferred
upon the President to make such changes
in the various departments and agencies
Of the government, and in their func-
tions, for the purpose of coordination
or efficiency, as he might deem neces-
sary And that during the time the
law should be IN force, al restriction in
an existing law creating an executive
department, commission, bureau, agen-
cies. Office, or defining the duties thereof,
should be deemed TO be suspended TO the
extent that they might be inconsistent
with the authority conferred by the act.
Such a law would place the entire
conduct of the war, together with auto
cratic power, in the hands of the Presi-
dent No wonder many Senators and
Representatives, even of the President s
party, hesitate at giving such a measure
their approval.
Our transportation of troops and mu-
nitions across the ocean has been re-
markably successful. The Huns got one
Of our transports, but that is not a serious
war loss, although it is very regrettable.
Retributive justice is what the de-
struction of the office of an anarchist
newspaper in Petrograd by the accidental
explosion of an anarchist bomb may be
called.

acter he created. 1t was that of one man
with two personalities, one very good
and one very bad. Mr.. Hyde was an
angel Of virtue and good deeds: DR. Jckyl
was a veritable fend. And this strange
man had the power Of Transforming from

And now, at this day, the newspaper
world presents the surprising spectacle
Of a DR. JekY and MIR Hyde in news

which comprises morning and afternoon
editions, separately conducted at news

and direction
The morning publicat may be
classed as Dr. Jekyl II is hostile to the

Do Not Ignore the Conditions.

The work Of those TO whom has been
sssi gned the important duty Of food and
fuel conservation, and the effective dis
tribution Of both these commodities, has
gwen occasion to criticism, some Of it,
no doubt. deserved. But in the indulgence
Of criticism, the fact should be borne in
mind that much of the distress that so
many people are now compelled to endure
especially IL respect OF fuel, Is due to con-
ditions beyond human control. And chief
aynong than is the weather.
We can readily see at this time how fore
sight during the summer months, when in
custries were running day and night and
fsirir eating coal, should have suggested
larger production when it might have been
possible, in order to build up surplus for
winter use But this was not even consid-
ered upon the arrival Of winter. Then the
seriousness Of the situation became
apparent. Then, possibly, some Of those
who had previously been conspicuous in
railroad meddling recognized the folly Of
their course.
Scarcely had the campaign Of the Fuel
Administrator been inaugurat(d, when the
serious interference Of adverse weather
became manifested TO a greater degree than
ever Extremely low temperature, OF itself
a serious interference, was enhanced In
effect by heavy snowfalls, which driven
into deep drifts 10y gales OF wind, fairly
tied Up railroad transportation, which not
only prevented coal shipments, but largely
curtailed coal production, and the old
experienced effective railroad manage
ment was not on hand to meet the emer-
gency. In such conditions, serious short
age IN the coal supply could not be avert
ed
80 all the blame of the situation cannot
Be laid upon human agencies, although
they were responsible for the war, the IN
Itial cause OF our troubles Much Of the
present deplorable condition is due TO 4
natural and unavoidable agency-al-
though one 70 be greatly deplored the
unusual severity OF the weather and its
paralyzing visitations Of snow.

Not Entirely a Loss.

During the very interesting hearing
before City Council, Wednesday night,
IN respect of the Police Commission S
system OF visiting punishment for in
fractions of duty by policemen with fines
of pay for one or more days, while re-
curing the offender TO continue at his
regular duties, the argument was ad-
ynnced that this inflicted pecuniary loss
snon the offender Also, that it was
unjust to compel him TO work without pay.
This is not entirely true. To lay an
offender off duty would simply be grant
ing HIM q vacation at his own expense.
To ;, him to work without pay
carrI,s q lar more impressive warning.
Furthermore, the money penalty thus
imposed is not altogether lost to the Of
fender. The fines imposed upon the
offending officers do not go into the pub
lie treasury. They are deposited TO the
credit of the Police Pension Fund and,
In course OF time, if he docs well and serves
the required term on the force to entitle
him 70 honorable retirement the offender
will participate very practically IN the
benefit of the money he thus contributed
10 the fund. lie viii draw fair pension
for the remainder OF his days. Thus,
he will assist in securi-. tbs pension.
We DO not advance this point Of view
with any idea OF encouraging infractions
Of discipline by policemen, but merely
10 show that ne penalty ca1s--S with il
some small measure OF financial benefit
10 the officer who is called upon TO pay
the fine.
But, above all else, there is Q sound
and continual admonition to all police
men in the imposition Of penalties as at
present If they well and faithfully
perform their duties, they will not be
subjected to any penalty. And thereby
they viii add continually 10 their good
credit and reputation.

THE SHOWS SILVER LINING /"

Abnornallv heavy SHOWS in the lower
Mississippi Valley and in the Central
and Eastern States helped cornplicate
an already badly demoralized transporta-
tion system, with the result that great
loss of time and energy fell upon the
industrial interests of the country.
One consolation to be derived from
the situation is the probability that the
losses sustained now Will be compensated
for by an improved winter wheat crop.
Some grain experts are Of the opinion that
the heavy blanket of snow extending
almost unbrokenly over the whole of the
winter wheat region will add qcores Of
millions of bushels to the wheat crop and
correspondingly to the wealth Of the
land Ii this be true, Allied success in
the war is made all theAnore certain.
The snow is expected to serve a double
purpose of good 1t affords protection
10 wheat fields during the cold months
and it promises to provide needed moisture
for the start and progress of the spring
growing season. If it ward off the alter
nate freezing and thawing which so
often does great harm to winter wheat in
March and April, there should be a won
| derful harvest of winter-grown grain

A CHRISTIAN DUTY.

a man who uses an account against
another as camoufiage to add 10 or 20
cents Just because the account NAV bear
it. and no questions asked, is as much a
criminal as the Taper of a till, and yet
it IS done every day by people who re-
gard themselves as honest It is a Chris
tian duty to be riqdly honest to the final
penny, and never to take cent that does
not mean an adequate service performed.
But somehow or other in these days,
when moral duty is so widely preached,
there is an evident tendency to think that
smartness is something akin from justice
and that one has a right to be smart even
if he is unjust.
Now there is no hope for change in
the habit Of the sharpers, but there ought
to be in all who deal with these sharpcrs,
to see that they are honestly treated
and that everything they pay for repre-
sents full value in service or material. 4
man who permits himself TO be cheated
is little different in a moral standpoint
from the cheater himself. lie is simply a
particeps criminis every time he allows
another TO impose upon him with an
inadequate consideration in a trade

Never too busy to help out friend.
Never too busy to cheer.
Never too busy to give or to lend,
Never too busy to hear

door,
Seemed to believe that WAS what he was

He had his troubles and burdens and woes
He had his portion of cares,
He had the sorrows that everyone knows
Still in his round of affairs
Under smile all his worries he hid
And all that was asked of him gladyly
he did
Little he left when he passed from the

Little of silver and gold;

Will ever his fortune be told,
But hundreds on him who had grown to

PRESS COMMENTS.
MIR. LEE'SLOvE OF SENSATION.

The charge that is made by W. c..
Leo, president OF the Brotherhood Of Rail-
road Trainmen, that owners and managers
of the railroads are engaged in a gigantic
conspiracy to discredit government opera
tion generally, and specii cally to falsify
, the operation of the Adamson eight hour
day law, is inherently improbable. Gov
ernment control is too young to be Judged
! by what it has already achieved or cost.
A conspiracy to defeat its ends would he
conspiracy to oppose the most far reach
ing power of the nation. Men who engaged
in such conspiracy would lay themselves
open to penalties of a nature and severity
that would prevent even the most bitter
opponents of government operation
from rendering themselves liable to them.
In SO far as the oight-hour day is in
volved in Mr.. Lees utterances, his out
givings are to be checked against the of
fcial report of the Eight-Hour Commits
sion, consisting of George W. Goethals,
Edgar T.. Clark and George Rublee, ap-
pointed by the President In accordance
with the act of September 3-5, 1916, to
observe the operation and effects of the
institution of the eight hour standard
working day" and ''the facts and condi-
tions affecting the relations between such
common carriers and employees during a
period OF not less than SIX months nor more
than nine months" The report of this
commission, transmitted to the President
and to the Congress on December %, 1917,
composing with its appendices a volume
of more than 500 pages, is complete and
impartial, and il does not contain one
syllable that can be twisted into support of
the declarations made by President Lee.
So against President Lees wild allega-
tions arc to be set their intrinsic incredi-
bility, and the report of the Goethals
Commission, which would have detected
and exposed any improper effort to dis
credit the eight hour day law. In favor of
therA is to be put only Mr.. Lees desire to
create sensation an ambition it Is plain
he will attempt to crafty no matter how
absurd the effort may make him appear
