GIVING THE RAILROADS BACK

President Wilson did not take over the railways of this country to test the merits of government ownership or government operation. He took them over because in . national crisis it was necessary that the railroads should do things which, under operation by their managers and owners -he law will not let them do. He took them over to provide for them imperative fnan- cing which, in this war situation, could not be provided in any other way. He took
 hem over as a war measure.
 The congress act to carry out this pro- gram ought, therefore, to fix a certain time when the railroads, after the close of the war, shall be turned back to their owners. Whether it shall be three months, or six or a year after the war IS not of prime importance; the thing which is of consequence is that, so far as concerns the purpose of the president and of the congress which is to put through the rail way measure, the roads shall go back to their owners automatically.
 If the administration and congress are sincere in their declaratoin that there IS no thought of making this the opportunity for permanent government ownership, they cannot fail to assure the owners of the rail roads-the hundreds of thousands of stock holders whose money is in those proper ties-that they do mean to give back the And at this stage the best way, the only way, to assure those railway own CTS, is to make the congress law declare mequiyocally that the roads shall go back at some fixed time.-N Y Sun.

OUT OF IT ALL

Out Of it ull shall come splondor and
 gladness, Out of the madness and out of the
 sadness. Cleaner and finer the world shall
 arise Why, then, keep sorrow and doubt In your eyes? Joy shall be ours when the warfare
 is over, Children shall glectully romp in Che
 clover. Here with our heroes at homo and
 at rest We shall rejoice with tho world at
 its best. Not in vain. not in vain, is our
 bright banner flying, Not for naught aro tho sons of our
 fond mothers dying; The gloom and despair arc mo. cyoi
 to last The world shall be better when they
 shall have passed. So mourn not his absence, but smile
 and be brave. You shall have him again from Che
 brink of the grave, In wonderful world meath a won
 derful sun, He shall come Co your arms with
 his victory won.

CONCERNING INVESTIGATIONS

Considerable has been printed lately concerning the charges of inefficicncy on the part of Secretary of War Baker as to his methods of preparing the United States for taking part in the war in which she IS now involved.
 It is a principle of democracy that nc official is greater than the power that created his office and placed him in it and for that reason the privilege of mvcSti- gatug his official acts iS am inalicnablo right of the people he serves.
 When Secretary of War Baker was in. sructcd by President Wilson to proceed with the work of mobilizing and equippn9 am army for active service and to be quick about it he called to his assistance the most competent men in the United States. men who were specialists in the particular lines along which they were needed and re oucstcd to operate. That they have accom- plishcd wonders in the past few months, as .ouishcd the whole world at the progreS. thcv have made, is conceded even by polit- iral enemies of the administration. And vet those political enemies of our prcsi- dent have taken the present strenuous period to cmbarrass the secretary of wal i'm every conceivable manner. They have thrown every possible impeachment in his pathway and have left nothing undone that would cause him to appear incompetent and inefficient in the eyes of the world at large and America in particular.
 The result was am investigation by the Senate Committee on Military Affairs Now. it is possible that, as am individual any member of that committee knows as much about mobilizing and equippmg an army as does Mir. Baker, but it is very prob able that the committee combined does not know ouc-tcuth part as much about mobil- iziug and cquipping am army as does the least efficient expert Mr. Baker chose to do the work for him. The question, there fore. very naturally arises: Is the Senate Committee on Military Affairs competent Co conduct am investigation of the acts of men who are specialists in their various lines and would the committee recognize am error if one existed! Also, if the Sen ate Committee on Military Affairs had been in charge of the mobilizing and cQuipping of the American army during the past few months, what kind of a mess would things be in at the present time!
 It is logic to conclude that those who know nothing about a subject are not com potent to investigate those whose ability along the same line has been acquired by years of experience.

Most of the public buildings in Alaska, OF this portion of it, appear to have been constructed with no provision for ventil- qtion and the result is that when they are filled with people they are both mcomfort- 1blc and unhealthy. The A. B. Hall at Ju- ucau is a glaring sample of the usual over sight as was noticed at the dance Tuesday night when several hundred people were present and when it was as "stuffy' as a hermeticaly-scaled negro schOolhouse on a
 lay in June. The same condition prevails in the majority of theatres in this portion of the country and it is one that should be rcmcdicd. If it is impossible to have a roof and fresh air at the same time, take off the roof

Every American killed on a European battle front now and in the carly stages of America $ participation in the war spells ultimate victory for the powers warning against Germany, as for every American killed dozen will volunteer and fight the enemy with a cause to be avenged. Any temporary German victory now would her lld defeat for them later on. America, with her millions of men and billions of money,
 id not enter the war for but one purpose,
 hat the democracy of the world might be safeguardcd from destruction at the hands )f vindictive autocracy and to that end she will pit her men and money against the loards of the kaiser, whose men are already counted and whose number will lessen with every conflict regardless of the result of such conflict. The kaiser is on the boards to lose even when he wins.

Germans Are Struck
Heaviest B[ow Yet
In One Days Battle

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept THE troops of Cen
oral Horne and General Bync began to-
days offensive southeast of Arras, and
by 1880 o'clock this morning they had
completely reached the Drocour.-
Queant switch line.
Two hours later it was rumored that
groups of British motor machine gun
ners had been seen on the bank of the
Canal du Nord nearly five miles east Of
the nearest point on the Drocourt line.
These were only highly mobile patrols,
pushing on to try to seize the bridge
heads.
BY to-days success the British struck
the Germans one of the most smaaa-
ING and strategically serious blows they
ssSver had received in single days
!, .hchting. The Germans are reported to
have had eight divisions standing to
meet the blow.
Among the prisoners taken are men
who had been hurriedly thrown in the
fighting line from all sorts of units
