Boss McAdoU, and Then Some.

Already General Director McAdoo's action has
resulted in ending freight congestion at several inn
portsnt points, notably in respect to railroads en-
tsring Chicago, which, it is reported, now able
to handle more traffic than is moving. D
is too early to decide how successful Mr.. McAdoo
is going be the greatest raroader ou earth, but
already there the strongest indications that the
for congestion is autocracy Given the right boss
the right plan and complete authority, and things
will move. Congestion and confusion go down before
such combination In emergency, such combina-
on is the salvation of democracy all wrong
in this war.
is of the very highest importance to observe and
record the results of Mr. McAdoo's autocratc action.
If the policy solves the vital problems of greatest
industry should be promptly applied to other enter
prses than ralroading There sufficient evidence
showing that the making of ships is not proceeding
with satisfactory speed There are boards and cor
poraons and heads of departments stuck on their own
individual opinions and the natural result is coges-
ton and lack of one clear-cut plan at which all con-
cerned could be aiming. There is somewhat similar
condition in the Fuel and Food administrations. A
fully empowered boss and teamwork are needed in
pretty much every department of the nations war bus-
In the matter of shipbuilding why not put in
experienced, practical manufacturer like Henry
Ford for instance the absolute boss and back him
with all the legislation he requires to boss shpbulldng,
from the timber standing in the forest to the completed
vessel sailing forth on her first voyage? There will be
congestion confusion, decided weakness in the Food
and the Fuel administrations regardless of the abilities
of Hoover and Garfield, unless the bosses on these
jobs given full authority to boss and when the
President forward to ask for additional legisla
ton bearing on such bosssm, Congress should not
hesitate to grant it.
We Shrek good deal against bossism We engage
in to exterminate autocracy But, is it not fact
that in emergency there is business. enterprise,
family, forsooh, but must resort to boss to pull
it of the hole? 1t should be good boss, with
place and power dependent upon the consent OF the
bossed, but fully and definitely the boss.

A Word to the Un-wise.

"As the labor situation created by the war
develops / am more interested than ever in
throwing all the safeguards possible around the
labor of women and children in order that in
toerable injurious burden may be placed on
them " That's President Wilson, speaking his
mind in recent letter to the National Child Labor
Committee
N The Presidents statement should be OF partcu-
lar interest right now to some of the gentlemen
interested in the packing industry in Chicago,
from where it has been lately reported that
women found working both day and night
shifts-a desperate and pitful effort to make up
the difference between slender wage and the
high cost of Iving-with only four five hours
Tor sleep out of each "a.
1t would be well if Senators and Representatives
at Washington, and State legislators elsewhere,
who have bills to get off their chests which would
let down the bars child labor and female druid
gerry, as "war-measures" could begin to realize
Just how sadly out of step they really are.
Postmaster General Burleson, too, with his corps
Of underpad postal employees and his proclamations
against unionism and organization, might find an
object lesson in the Wilson brand of liberalism.
Il is obvious that to date Burleson has done any
thing but adhere to the attitude of the of the
administration.

Why Put Up with Production Blockade !

The railroads not only greatest industry,
but their financial ramihcatons extensive,
universal and penetrating than those OF any other in
dustry. Banker Myron T. Herrick was, undoubtedly,
right in his recent declaration that there is hardly
bank insurance trust company established charity
organization in the country that does not hold railroad
securities Besides, there the thousands OF ndi-
vidual stockholders and bondholders.
In effect, President Wilson commanders the prop
erty and rights of all these interested concerns and
people. 1t is drastic proceeding, but absolutely
sary as war measure. The prime essentials of our
war business are efficient TRANSPORTATION management
and extraordinary production and these coreatve
and wholly mutually dependent Neither is effective
without the other
In the matter of transportation Uncle Sam COM
mandeers How can he hesitate to do likewise in the
matter of production of COAL oil lumber copper steel
and other war necessaries without the prompt and
heavy production and delivery of which his bust
fails?
In the case OF the railroads Uncle Sam has been
patient and long waiting. Having once got his

HANK.

His car was little bit better -
Than anything else the price
And therefore he sold seven million all told
And rolled up pile that nice;
Then he said, "Wel, the boys who have helped me
Ought to have few beans in the bank,
So I'll Just share this crop with the lads in the shop
And that surely was decent of Hank
The selfish employers yelled Ruin"
But Hank simply kept on his way
Making ingots and bars into mighty good cars
AT the rate of some thousands day;
Then he got the peace bug in his noodle
And the world called him SILLY" and crank
And the world was quite right till he great light
No more pacihst buncombe, cried Hank!
When his country got into the conflict
Did Hank say, I'm gonna get mine
Did he grab all he could while the grabbing good
As the prohteers do, we opine2
No, he offered his brains and his fortune,
And his profit sheets totally blank
How the prices would wilt if all rich men were built
OF the same sort of metal as Hank

Safety in Silence.

Uncle Joe" Cannon dearly loves a circus, espe-
cialy one with a large monkey, a baboon or an
ape In this connection he spins yarn.
When boy, down in North Carolina, Cannon
and a cornfeld negro went to circus together:
Upon entering the sideshow they were attracted
by large ape. 1t was enormous brute the
largest Cannon says, that he ever has seen in his
eighty-two years of existence. The negro was so
fascinated that he refused to bulge from the
cage. Long after all the other folks had passed
into the main tent, the negro stalled in the
sideshow Finally, satisfied that none \except Can
non was about, he approached the bars.
"How be your? he asked the ape.
No answer. The negro looked around again
to make certain that he was not observed by
strange eyes
How is it," he asked again. =.
Still no answer; and third time he spoke to
the ape without receiving a reply. Then he burst
out:

CONSUMPTION.

1t is amazing how foolish people think
that the American nation is going to stop with
the conscription OF its manhood fof war.
Ii that the beginning and the end of
conscription, democratic institutions would in
deed be in danger and the country would be in
sore need of revolution.
If the government insisted upon its right to
conscript and to sacrifice flesh and blood and
were squeamsh about the assertion of the same
right regards property, wealth, thought, trans
portaton, or any other commodity. it might just
well go into moral bankruptcy and appoint
receiver for the wreck.
If the nation has right to call upon por-
tioR of its people to sacrifice their lives it has
a hght-it is morally bound--to call upon the
rest of its people to sacrifice their all if necessary
to the conduct of the war.
That is the one single point of glory in the
armor of Germany-the fact that she does not
hesitate to call upon civilians, rich and poor alike,
to endure everything that flesh and blood can
endure to support the in the agony of
the fight Perhaps in error on this point
Perhaps it will be shown that the rich and
powerful in Germany remained in callous luxury
while the millions of her laboring classes suffered
the whole burden Nothing would be more char
aeteristic of the pagan spirit of Junkerism than
that. ~

Peace

II the German government possesses even a
molecule Of the wisdom of the serpent, 1t viii rec
ognize that the Lloyd George peace terms are
the MINIMUM allied terms
They will never go any lower. The significant
point about the matter is that not the so-caed
"peace parties" in Great Britain and France ask
them to 60 any lower. The terms silence con-
troversy in the Labor parties and the Socialist
ranks; only Lansdowne and the "peace-at-any-
price, propagandists will remain unreconciled.
Prussian spafring for peace negotiations, there
FORE has no further tangible objective so far as
the Western nations concerned For home
consumption in Germany it may be necessary to
carry the pretense of peace drive further. The
allies have solved at single stroke their own in
ternal domestic problem; Germany is farther away
than ever from solving hers. The failure of the
Russians negotiations and the Lloyd George state
ment make that problem immeasurably more diff
6cult-unless the German people are utterly un-
balanced.
If the House of Hohenzollern and the Junkers
who have underwritten it were nearing the end Of
their rope, we believe they would gladly make
peace on the Lloyd George terms. since those
terms do not specifically demand that autocratic
rule in Germany must go.
But they are not at the end of their rope The
German people long way from revolution
yet. despite their suffering. And the Prussian
autocrats will not stop short of revolution. They
will wreck Germany, Louis XIV wrecked
France, rather than admit defeat. The map
has nothing clearly written on it than the
inilexible resolve OF the Kaiser to continue the
war until he has achieved German peace"-or
until the deluge.
For this reason the world is perfectly safe in
assuming that peace is yet long way off. Ger
many is. firmly, safely regimented nation. She
has many game of intrigue to play yet in many
lands, and she will redouble her efforts with Rus
sia despite the setback at Brest-Litovsk and de-
spite the fact that the game she is playing has
become transparent even to the Bolsheviki.
A desperate nation is likely to go to any ex-
treme. The world is likely to seesin the Germany
of the next six months real supernaton of
ianaticism of courage, of crusading madness That,
rather than the chastening and humbling OF her
will to power, is the next phase OF the war.
But her wise know today that the peace
terms of Lloyd George present a stone wall, a
Gibraltar-unbreakable unshakable, unchanging,
against which their legions will break their lances
IN vain.
