SUCH MEN DO NOT HIDE.

The excellent editorial page Of the
Cedar Rapids Republican speaking Of
Conductor Frederick Stock Of the Chi
cago orchestra who has resigned un-
der charges Of disloyalty which the
Republican says have since been en-
tirely dis7roved, deprecates and con-
dennis the loose talk that put Mr..
Stock wrong with the public Mr.
stock has made the assertion that he
is true American and the Republican
points out that there was not one
whit of evidence to show that he had
ever been Of different state Of mind"
But in another article on the same
page the Republican says:
We saw the name of Richmond
Pearson Hobson the other day. Where
has that man kept himself concealed
during this war? Did he refuse to
take part in it because we insisted on
recognizing Japan IS one CT our allies?
1t WAS HobsOn who preached that
Japanese danger in season and out of
it. He probably realizes now that he
was deceived and that what he
preached was pro-German pre-war
doctrine. for if Germany could have
involved us in fight with Japan they
would have had clearer sailing in the
war waters Of Europe. Now Hobson
and his crusade are SO many mem
cries. and yet Hobson at one time did
do brave piece Of work-and then he
was kissed to death by the women Of
st. Louis
Now, as everyone who has personal
knowledge Of Captain Hobson knows
that a cleaner, more patriotic American
with a finer record for bravery and
patriotism does not live in America
than Hobson, the fling at the man
who's" deafness deed will live while
mon honor greatness of soul scarcely
belongs on the Same page that pleads
prejudice in favor Of Conductor stock.
To suggest pro- German propa ga nda in
connection with HObSon, or that he is
conceaing himself because Japan is
an ally instead Of an enemy scarcely
| indicates the same thong hfulness that
is justly and periodically exercised in
the case Of the orchestra conductor.
There is not one whit Of evidence
| that Richmond Pearson Hobson is not
| in the same state Of mind that took
| him straight into the face Of death or
| that old hulk against the Spanish bat
| teries. There should be no doubt
raised Of his patriotism. his courage OF
his Willingness.

CoinCidently with announcement of a
raise in pay amounting to. over sloO,-
000, 900 distributed among about 1000
600 track laborers, watchnen. etc..
comes a bulletin from McA doc that
hereafter the garnisheeing Of the pay
Of railroad employees will be prohibited.
Altho the director general has stated
specifically that employees of the rail-
roads while under federal control were
not TO ne considered government en-
ployers. it is now held that their wages
constitute government funds until
actually turned over to the men. AS
such the money is exempt from legal

called soldiers and sailors civil
moratorium principle contained in the
rights act for the benefit OF our over
seas forces. The immunity from civil

THOSE TELEPHONE CHANGES.
Mount Vernon Record.

What constitutes moving a tele-
phone" The Record office has been
called up a number Of times Of late.
and this question asked. or course
the opinion of the Record would be
that moving a telephone is moving a
telephone. But that is not the opinion
of Postmaster General Burleson, who
is the boss of the telephone system.
His ruling is that changing name
in the telephone book is moving tele-
phone In other words if there is
phone in the house you move into, you
pay the s. for moving Just the same
as if there was no phone in. Or. II
as in two cases we know of, one OF
them on a farm, the house was oc-
cupied by farm hand and the phone
was in his name although the owner
paid for it. the owner will pay for
installation when he moves onto the
farm. This ruling is not peculiar to
At Vernon, as some may think. but
is general. Verify the democratic ad
minstra ton lit in soft time.

given to these men who remain at
home under precisely the same condi-

action of the director general be but
another thinly yelled hid for political
support OF the administration at the
polls?
Nearly all states give wage earners
ample protection from executional
processes. In Iowa a married mans
wages are exempt from execution and
unmarried men have limited protec-
ton. Under the McAdoo order a single
man could board with some family
and refuse to pay his board and could
walk away with his earnings, while
