ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

In view of the contradictions which have followed so many Of the reports regarding the trouble between Chile and Peru there is an inclination to take them with a pinch of salt until proof has been established. but it gan not help being felt that. if the state- ment to the effect that the council of ministers of Peru is considering an effer of mediation made by the United States is true and such an offer has actually been made, it is a step well taken at the right time.
 There is more or less unrest in those nations, as well as in Bolivia, regarding the disputed provinces and the putting into effect of treaty pro- visions made many years ago. il would indeed be most unfortunate. for those countries to go to war over their differences when ar adjustment thereof would he a-eferaee and it is impossible to understand why it could not be reached if only the dis position exists to allow the matter tc be arbitrated,
 The offer of the United States. fl such has been made, is only what might be expected under the circum. stances. It is friendly with both na' tions and it is anxious to see tho threatened trouble amieably adjust ed. In this the leading nations O. South America will no doubt join. ant would undoubtedly be willing to par tielpate in like effort for the geot of all concerped and the maintenanc' of the peace of that part of the world Not little encouragement is given t, the belief that either through the ac eeptanee of the offer to aet as media tor or some such similar method tn threatened clash will be avoided D, the statement to. the effect that tn sentiment of the national congress il Chile faYors a speedy and definit solution, It is certainly the righ l course.

erty involved. It was likewise a case where big production was underway and where as is likely to be the case under such circumstances a careless ness existed in regard to, details not only as to the carrying on of the work but the arrangement of the various departments and the retention of large quantities of the explosives in one place such as aboard cars near the buildings.
 There is no telling of course how much good had been accomplished by such fire prevention steps as had been taken. That they may have avoided a great amount of trouble is probable, but the Investigation has shown that much more could have been done and should have been done before it could have been expected to overcome the danger that prevailed from the very conditions which existed at the time of the first explosion. Had the pol icy which is to be pursued by such establishments in the future been in force the initial explosions would probably have caused minor results. It was, however ,one of the lessons which seems to be necessary in order to bring about the right kind of preven- tive measures.

FUTURE OF THE RAILROADS.

One of the great problems before congress is going to be the determi- ration of what is going to be done with the railroads. when the present government control will cease, what new regulations are going to be made for them and how extensive if any the government control is going to be in the future.
 President Wilson has not attempt ed to make any recommendations. He declared they should be released from government control when a sat- isfactory plan of readjustment was decided upon and said that 1t would be a disservice to all Concerned to return them to the owners under the conditions of the previous private management.
 The interstate commerce commits l sion, which is supposed to be fairly well in touch with the railroad situa- 1 tion, does not come out fatfeeted for any particular action. but in some re- l spscts takes much the same position that the president did except thet it believes that there are certain meas l uIOS WHICH ShOulu De duOpt6u IT there is to be government ownership and that it is of the opinion that there |. should be partial merger of the lines, at least, under some form oi government control It thus makes il evident that certain moves which the roads desired to make in. the past would be 8 good thing for all con oerned if properly directed and con. summated
 None more than the roads them. selves recognize the injustice of an! return which would bring back the conditions under which they were re. | strained before the opening of tn. I war, That has been clearly demon. strated by the war if it was not ad mitted before. What the policy to b. followed will be should be determined by a thorough understanding of tn, entire situation and the presentation of opinions by those whc are recog nized as experts in such matters.

TURKEY A MENACE.

Of course it is to be expected that Turkey will ask for merciful treat ment at the peace conference. That 5is a Turkish characteristic. It is ob- livious to all that has been done by it and thinks only of itself in the pres- ent circumstances. and in this respect it is no different than Germany. But while it will make such pleas 1t cannot but realize that it stands little or no chance of being favored Turkey knows what it has done in the. way of massacres, the slaughter Of the innocent. the sVbjecting of Subject people to all kinds of hard ships and horrors for the purpose ot decreasing their numbers. Its con- duct has been such that the wonder .is that there are any Armenians or Syrians left to tell of the frightful practices which their people have ex- eeperienced. But fortunately Turkey is not the only one that knows of it's misdeeds. The other nations know and they are not inclined to overlook the ghastly facts. Another chapter in the history of Turkey has been re- gently written in blood in such a man. ner that the nations of the earth, which will make the decision about The peace table. are in tho mood to see that nothing of the kind can take place again.
 Even following the surrender of Turkey new and fresh evidences of the unfitness of that country to gov crn others are being furnished. There are more and fresh killings running way up into the thousands, which too plainly display the attitude of the Turks, and these are bound to counter act any thought of dealing gently with that country. Justice demands that there be an end to such periodical outbreaks and justice is what will get full consideration. Turkish rule must in the future be confined to the narrow limits where it belongs.

VANISHING CURTAINS

And they were new purtams,w said the distracted lady. telling the tale, -four pairs of brand new curtains that we're so new they never had been washed. I'd hate to tell you how much they cost, but certainly wish had the money now!
 T packed them in 8 box when we l decorated this month and put them in the hall closet.
