A Sob Traitor
By Sarah Addington

TINE sob sister has come into her own
4 No more recipes, no more fashion
hints no more cheerful little blurbs on
women this or female that, no more tear
full little squibs about the beautiful mur-
dercss For that is all the old stutf-and
the new is the editing and running OF
real newspaper by no less people than
women themselves, that enterprise Just an
nounced for "The ATLANTIC City Evening
Union"
Sob-sisters race to themselves;
everybody knows that They are women
who prowl around at night writing up mur-
ders, if there are any, and instigatng them
if there are not. They are women who
make friends with the milionaire's butler
and write up the costume ball. They are
women who appear in the movies in 500
suits (alas.) with neat notebook and
gold tipped pencil. Didn't the movie direc-
tor ever see the wads of copy paper stuffed
in our pockets and that scrubby yellow
newspaper pencil that is the undyng ear
mark of the trade? These are newspaper
women, as the race is written down in the
minds of those who don't know.
But whatever they have been since Nellie

these enterprising ones IN Atlantic City
have seesawed way up in the game and we
who have been suddenly bounced down to
the ground can only look up at them and
wonder how they did it. They are going to
be editors and business managers and all
the other grand things in a newspaper office,
and in a world where women are still used
in newspapers to get the "woman's angle"
very often an obtusc ange), that's quite
a move up.
Of course, to repeat the old line there's
no reason why women should not be editors
and such. Women have set out to do every
thing in the world, and the newspaper busi-
ness is not the supreme mystery of the
earth. SO they will probably get out a
good paper and enjoy themselves hugely at
the job
But we wonder what a manless news
paper Office would be. No pleasant little
cuspadorcs standing around to break the
monotony of copy paper and newspapers

cups TO greet YOU in the morning, left there
by the flower of the staff, who must have
his mugful just as the first edition goes to
press. No cosey little games of cards be-
tween editions, no vicious smelling pipes,
no informal shirt sleeve functions
Indeed, the old way may be the best way,
and as for US, we prefer co-education.

The Acts of the F. T. C.

1t is a popularity of our highly per-
sonal form of government that criticism
Of the executive heads of departments
and boards should inevitably seem. and
should be taken, as criticism of the Pres
ident himself. That is why one hest
tates to speak frankly of the character
and work of the Federal Trade Commits
sion. Its reports" or presentations
have become so violent, irresponsible and
inf1ammatory, assailing almost every
class of business, as to bring at last 4
formal protest from the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States. The
committee appointed to take up the
scandalous charges of the Federal Trade
Commission included Mr. w. L. Saun-
ders, chairman of the Naval Consulting
Board; Professor Seager, Of Columbia
University; Mr.. Edward A. Fiene, of
Boston, and other representative busi-
ness men. They drew up a report to
the President on the extraordinary
antics of the commission, which is spend
ing a great deal Of money on "investi-
cations" which come to nothing except
violent and incendiary and undiscrimi-
mating attacks upon business enterprise
Anarchists, socialists and the discontent-
ed and evil-minded, needing fuel and fod-
der for their attacks upon the govern
ment and upon society, have only to quote
verbatim from the findings" of this
body. The Associated Press report says
that the presentation of this committees
report to the President was received at
the White House in complete silence, or,
rather, by a letter from Mr.. Tumulty.
Nevertheless it is unbelievable that the
matter will be ignored and that the Fed
eral Trade Commission will be allowed
to continue in it's reckless course.

Living for
Fat and Thin

1here is no such thing as single rail-
road rate which is reasonable per Sc"
The entire regional tariff is a mass of
floating relativities which is anchored to
earth by one fundamental principle That
principle is that, taking the tariff of rates
as a whole and taking the group of rail
roads operating under it as one system, the
tariff must produce enough net revenue to
yield fair return on the value of the total
capital invested in the group. Fair return
IN actual practice must mean such return
as Will attract from private investors the
new. capital which the railroads will re-
quire from time to time.
Recognition of this principle will afford
solid foundation for regulation Of railroad
rates in the future and will solve the diff
Guilty presented by the cases of strong"
and weak" roads in the various groups It
will at one and the same time confirm to
owners Of we'll located and we'll managed
properties the reward of foresig ght and skill
and avoid pena!izing the public for the mis-
takes Of the Others
Having established the groups and laid
down the principle that group rates must
rest on the general cost of transportation
of the group, whole, the next step
would be to provide for an elastic tariff
schedule, so that rates as a whole might
be lowered or increased from time to
time, according to the basic cost of trans
portation, with a view to assuring to own
ers of railway securities a fair and certain
income. In place of the speculative profit
motive which now largely governs invest
ment in such securities there would be a
practical guarantee of safety, which would
be relied upon to attract ample capital

The Fighting Age.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: That slackers and probably many
others have escaped the draft may be true
and might be hard to remedy but to my MIND
much of this evil is caused by the mistaken
view, as | see it, expressed by poltics
speakers all over the land, and practically
by the -four minute men" in the movies
who tell the man who buys bonds or savings
stamps, or builds ships and does other sale
and profitable work. who may be physically
able to or should bear arms, that such az be
does as patriotic a duty as the soldier whs
gives his all. / firmly believe that tha
KIND of insidious fattery makes many fee
at ease who, if the blunt truth were told,
would awaken to duty's call, and who thea
would refuse to claim deferred elassifcs
ton.
May we parents with boys of eighteen
to twenty one bow orr heads in humble
gratefuness that there still exists among
our youths of this age those who gloriousy
see their duty clearly, and may that spirit n
some small measure be understood and
appreciated by your correspondent and the
many men and women he claims as his
acquaintances and who now think as he
does. BON"

that We shall again see 80 cents for
wheat, so cents for corn, 20 cents for
eggs and butter, and or cents for
cotton. The President says that "if
there should be peace or increased ship
ping available before the middle Of 1920
Europe will naturally supply itself from
the large stores of much cheaper wheat
now in the southern hemsphere; and,
therefore, the government is undertake
ing risk which might in such event
result in a national loss of as much as
$ooO,000000 through an unstable sur
plus, or, in any event, in maintaining
high level of prices to our own people for
long period subsequent to freedom in
the worlds markets.
Similar ideas are found to have pre-
vailed during the Civil War, and especial
ly toward its close, when prices rose to
great height. We know. of course, that
nothing Of the sort happened. So far
from that, after the war was ended
prices rose still higher, and especially,
for example, the prices of corn and
wheat and cotton; in other words, just
those things which everybody thought
would fall very rapidly. In point of
fact it was more than thirty years after
the Civil War began before the general
run of prices had again fallen to any
thing like the same level.

port them, and the Red Guards have a
wholesome dread of real fighting men
like the Japs and the Czecho-Slovaks.
In the Siberian maritime province the
Allied forces have entirely cleared the
Siberian railway from Nikolsk to the
Chinese border SO that only tho little
strip about Chta in Transbaikalla
needs to be recovered in order to put the
whole transcontncntal line from Vladi-
vostol1 to the Volga in Allied hands.
The Japanese are driving the Red
Guards in the coast province up the
Ussuri River toward Khabarovsk. Boil
shcvist power in Siberia is rapidly wan
ing. The people generally want a return
to tranquility and order. They will prob
ably be glad to say goodby to the Red
Guards and the Tcuton ex-prisoners who
have been practising anarchy under the
prctence of sustaining the phantom au
thority of the Moscow Soviet govern
ment.
The Siberian expedition has already
more than justified itself as wise cXer-
else of military judgment.

(cuIyrighh 1918 by The Tribune Association

Nc" '"rN If'p"'c|
w ARIS, Sept. 4-Thc recent ringing
message of Senator Lodge de-
mandng that there be no discus
sion with Germany regarding peace
terms finds ready and warm response
on this side. At an unofficial dinner
gathering last night, attended by repre-
sentative Frenchmen, several English
men, Belgians and Americans, lawyers,
educators, business men. officers and a
few political persons, reference was
made to Senator Lodges declaration and
it WAS heartily applauded and unvcr-
sally indorsed.
There is a distinct and strong feeling
here among men of all nationalties
against any so-called peace conference
after the war in which Germany shall
have voice. The sentiment grows
more and more in the rear, us it always
has been on the front, that the war be
after which Germany shall be given
terms Of peace drafted by the Allied ma
tions. We can open no controversial
door with Germany now or on her forth
coming inevitable and complete defeat.
AS the President said yesterday, Ger
many is striking at what free men every
where desire and must have the right to
determine, their own destiny"
At the conclusion of this terrible strug-
gle which Germany has thrust upon us
we must spread no bargain table to
accommodate her political or commercial
greed or to save the face of her abom-
nable leaders, who, were justice served,
should all be hanged. The German
nation is a despised outlaw before
God and man and must be treated as
such when we have overcome the Hun
hosts and the Allied representatives
gather to deliver their ultimatum for the
future keeping of the world peace and
the sanctity Of mems homes. Hundreds
of thousands of British and French have
given their lives in France, and Americas
sons are now fighting and dying in
savagely directed, shall not prevail over
the princi pies Of justice and honorable
independence. Their sacrifice must not
have been in vain through the Juggling
of peace terms after victory has been
won on the battlefield. Germany's case
has been tried. Her defence has been
heard and rejected. Sentence must be
given the same as to any other vile and
0anUerOuS criminal
1t is not enough that America shall
stand now united for war to the utter
vanquishment of the Boche military
command. After victory she must stand
behind the silent, eloquent demand of
those who made the supreme sacrifice
for the freedom Of the world.

The Public's
Concern

TO insure protection OF the public inter-
est and impartial application of the general
theory of rates it could be provided that
the government should have representation
in the directorate of each of the proposed
regional railway systems. The idea would
be to leave the initial rate making power
with the railways, relying upon the gov
ernment representation to see to it that it
was not abused and coupling with it pro-
vision that the government should share in
any profits that might be realized in excess
OF such an amount as would meet the costs
OF maintenance and operation and provide
a sufficiently attractive rate of return on
the securities
Having adopted general system of re-
organization and administration for the
future, the next step will be for those
favoring private operation to work out the
precise physical and corporate forms. The
method of merging the separate corpora
tions Of the groups into one must not onlv
be thought out, but the financial and legal
processes and instrumentalites involved
must be arranged and the whole scheme of
regional ownership and control, to meet its
opportunity. must be ready to take over tho
railways when the government is through
with them.
Delay might prove fatal to the hope.

Apparition Of
The Pork Barrel

1t is conceded that the day of operation
and manipulation of railways for purely
private gain and advantage is gone forever
On the other hand, there is dstrust of
permanent government control of the vast
railway properties and their near two mill.
ion employees The pork barrel possibli-
ties of Congressional control of the rail
ways are unlimited, and with the ending of
the war and the elimination of the patriotic
urge toward efficiency, with the inevitable
retirement of the great executives from the
positions they now occupy at great sacri-
flee in the central administration, it is
feared that standards will relax.
Yet it is admitted that private manage
ment and administration of the railways
will never be satisfactory under the old
conditions, with the ow-movng Inter-
state Commerce Commission maintaining
repressively low rates and enforcing all the
old restrictive and hobbing legislation In
the new private management must have
the same freedom in seeking efficiency that
the government now has.
In these circumstances the idea of a re-
gional grouping of the railways under pri-
vate ownership and control, with govern
ment representation in the directories. is
gaining strength. Such a grouping would
do away with the high costs Of competition
and would retain the present advantages of
operation of formerly competitive lines as
unit for the public benefit. The outlines
of the necessary groups are already rough
ly established Their boundaries are
sketched by the locations of the great mar
kets in which the ownership of goods
changes hands The cities that are these
terminal markets mark the frontiers Of
transportation regions. The growth OF the
country and the evolution of trade and
transport have thus determined the geo
graphical division of The railways The
logic of facts has made them. To some
extent these groups overlap but their gen
eral outlines are we'll known and have long
been recognized by the government, the
railways themselves and the public.
The "trunk lines" represent one group, the
Central Freight Association lines another:
then there are the Southeastern lines. the
Transcontincntal lines, the New Enrland
lines, the Southwestern group, and SO on.
For public purposes the railways constitut-
ing each of these railway groups are one svs-
tom and must be so treated. Within each of
these groups there has grown up naturally
great web tariff of traffic rates which
while arbitrary and empirical, are never
theless the fruit of experience These
