The War As a Melting Pot.

~ " III fho q FhS'itH W.
We hear much these days of
the melting pot ms applied to
tho Amcricnnization of our for.
eign immigrants. While the
need has been great that this
foreign element he fused with
tho national life ms quickly as
possible, there is yet another
phase Of American life wherein
the melting pot can render great
service, and that melting pot
will be developed IN the war
upon which we have entered
Until recent years America
has been distressingly PROVING
inl. Not provincial as n whole,
but provincial by sections. The
down custer looked with sus-
picion upon anything having
its origin outside old New Eng.
land. The southerner viewed
all parts of the country save
the west ns alien territory, and
only had II tolercncc for that
section because il was made up
largely Of his kinsman. The
citizen Of the Middle West has
always been convinced that
creation ceased with the com
plotion of his territory, and SO
it ran, The thoughts and Gus
toms of the various sections
were nntagonistic, and il was
only grudgingly that either
could be brought to admit that
there might be anything of
merit come out of the other.
All this the war will change.
We will no longer be a nation of
many elements all antngonistic
and out of sympathy. We will
no longer waste our energies in
bernting AMI bclittling our
neighbors because, forsooth,
they may not view all Of life
with our eyes.
In France there are today
young men from every part Of
this country fighting side by
side, sharing the same dangers
and the same death. AS the
war progresses their numbers
are increasing. Each il learn
ing from others, and each il
unconscientiously learning 10
see life from tho others view
point. As the association pro-
crosses, many common views
will be developed, and where
antagonism exists, close and
intimate contact will gradually
but surely bring each into har-
inony with the other.
When this war is ended aud
our boys come home, il will not
be II crowd of provincials we
shalt welcome, but an army
OF cosmopolitans--w world citi
zens we may say. These men
will have probed TO the bottom
the character OF their fellows
and learned all there WINS to
know of them. And in that
knowledge they will each have
found much Of value when full.
ly understood, and will have
learned to appreciate 10 the full
the good points OF. all.
The war will complete what
our great industrial develop
ment had bcgun-it will make
of us at last one compact ma,
ton, all Americans together, all
with common interest, a com
mon love and q common desti-
ny.

In the Age of Steel.

Now the earth is filled with the FORCES
For the gun ana rail and keel,
And the sky is red with the furnace
glow
And we live the age of steel.
Yet the world returns to the olden way
Of the Man who dies for men;
To the sacrifice and the great high
faith
We have turned us back again.
For on fields of France where the
heros fought
And the Hunnish hordes withstood,
Where the will was steel and the
death was steel,
La, the cross is still OF wood.

GOVERNMENT
RAILROADS
Where Would America Be With.
out Private Enterprise? Much
Of This Country Would Still
be a Wilderness.

To The Editor Of The Sun-Sir: Sen.
ator Johnson of California and Others
are shouting voeiferously for Govern.
ment ownership of railroads. Has II
ever oecorred to the Senator from the
Golden State that the means of COM
municatiou between the Pacific Coast
and the East might still have been a
wagon trail to-day IL the Government
had been wholly depended upon to build
roads7
Does any one for moment believe
that we should have had the vast net
work of railroads covering the country
in all directions by any Government
agency? Very much of this great coun-
try would still be a wilderness but for
the work aud capital of far seeing men.
The Union Pacific Railroad ran through
hundreds Of miles of land not worth
cent an acre, Its chief product being
sage brush, coyotes and jack Rabbits,
yet it's promoters were Numerically
denounced as grafters, many OF them
because the Government helped this
enterprise by granting every other
section of land not already taken up
and in other ways.
California can get its oranges AID
lemons and other products to the
Eastern markets, and Oregan and
Washington their apples, not through
any thanks to the Government, but be-
cause a few men we're gifted with |
vision and were willing to back this
vision up with dollars. Now that the
great work of furnishing transporta-
tion facilities has been accomplished
cry goes up by the anarchistIc and
socialistic press for the Government to
take the roads over at its own price or
possibly at no price whatever.
In a recent debate in Congress one
Senator made the astounding statement
that it was necessary for the Govern
ment to take the roads because they
had fallen down in the matter of equip.
ment and management. Ye gods and
little fshesl For years bounded by
State and national laws, held up by
labor unions and denied the privilege
of earning a living, SO to speak, and
then to be accused of inefficiency.
Could base ingratitude proceed to
greater lengths? When the Govern
ment takes over the railroads except 10
war times we shall see the United
States preparing to mount the tobog-
gan slide. NJ. Il. X.
