More Politics

IN face OF obvious efforts being made by the
i War Department to bring back our troops
from France as rapidly as they can be spared
and transportation facilities furnished, Col
onel Roosevelt launches Il new attack on the
administration that is not only unwarraHtad
but insincere. BY indirection he seeks to
make ii appear that the government is hold
ing the soldiers under the colors, both in
this country and France, longer than is
necessary.
In the first place, he deliberately ignores
the announcement made by the chief Of staff
OF the army week ago that men were then
being discharged from the army at the rate
OF 10000 a day, and that orders had been
issued calling for the rehabilitation Of 800,
600 in this country.
In the second place he ignores the fact
that practically every transport returning to
an Atlantic port from Europe is laden with
soldiers. tho wounded thus far. being given
the first opportunity to return. In this con-
ncction, it is fact which must be obvious
to Colonel Roosevelt or TO any other critic
of the administration, that we cannot expect
to control as much shipping space for our re-
turning soldiers we did for those going
over. when every available ton Of American.
allied. neutral and coniiscated enemy ship
ping was diverted to the emergency task Of
getting our soldiers in France befo-2 the Hun
No''''
In the third place, Colonel Roosevelt, like
many others. appears to forget that the war
is not yet over, even though hostilities have
ceased, and that until peace has been actually
signed, sealed and delivered, it would be the
height of folly for the nations that must
force this peace on Germany calmly to lay
down their arms. Is Colonel Roosevelt or
General Pcrshing better able to Judge how
many men can be spared from Europe and
how soon? If we remember right, the Col
onel most bitterly arraigned the President for
not continuing to maintain an army in Mex
leo after General Pcrshing had dispersed the
Villa bandits. Then he insisted that the job
had not been fully completed and that tho
troops should not be withdrawn until il was
Now, with Il much bigger job at hand and
not yet finally completed, the Colonel would
forthwith pack up our army and bring it

SUPPOSE LABOR UNIONS WHERE CORPORATIONS ARE


Nothing that could happen in this
world would or could be funnier than
shifting around and putting great and
important labor unions In the place
and position of the corporation and
the present members and components
of the corporations where the labor
unions now are. If some gigantic ana
all-compclling practical joker had the
ordering OF things he could not devise
more delicious scheme than the pro-
posed government ownership OF rail
ways and telegraph and telephone sys-
TENS in this country.
Take the railways to begin with.
The moment they passed permanently
under government control, demand for
cheaper fares and freight rates would
arise Sitting down. 1t would be dis
covered that the wages paid the rail-
way men were the obstacles. Then
would arise our familiar friend. the

dcrs against the corporation. He would
point out that the engineer. working

more money in a month than the farm l.

working from sun to sun, and so go
on to the conductor and the brake
man. 1t il impossible TO imagine any
thing more amusing than the prcsi-
dent Of n railway brotherhood standing
before an audience of farmers and
factory hands trying to defend his
