Not a Socialist.

Men who are close to Mr.. McAdoo,
however, believe that he has no de-
sire to run for the presidency and
that the only reason for his present
step is his determination not to, put
himself in false light among those
who have been his associates for
years in his commercial enterprises.
who well know his attitude on gov
eminent ownership and who would
resent his further connection with
an administration which has started
along that path.
Mr.. McAdoo's future lies in the
commercial world. His withdrawal
to private life at this time is proof
that he does not intend to sacrifice
the confidence and respect of COM
mercial and financial leaders who
would naturally come into close con-
tact with him in his future business
career.

ARMY SCHOOLING.

General Pershing is calling for more books,
books by the ton. The war work services are
sending men and women to France in increas-
ing numbers who are qualified to be helpful in
certain kinds of educational work. There is
need of emphasizing. the necessity of making
the ensuing time of service of our troops at the
front of educational opportunity in re-
Spouse to the wide demand for such opportun-
ity by the men themselves. It is not to be an
idle time by any means; this much is forecast
by the conditions in Germany and Austria, by
the known needs in France and Belgium Yet
the men have time and great eagerness for
preparation for their home futures and they
should be given all advantages possible. A
great experience wakes ambitions and latent
powers to fulfill it. The experience sol
diers have had and are having; the ambition
evidently is wakened. We can do no better
thing than to cooperate as we can with our
war work agents in making these count to the
full for the army.

RAIL ADMINISTRATION POLICY

Chicago Tribune: The assertion OF
the Providence Journal that Secre-
tary McAdoo's retirement was forced
by his unwillingness to cooperate In
course intended to lead to govern
ment ownership of the railways has
great FEASIBILITY, which formal of
fetal denials will hardly offset. The
tendency toward socialistic concen-
tration has been observable
The question is a vital one and we
hope the Journal article will raise 1t
emphatically. We may be destined
to adopt government ownership OF
railways and. indeed, Of all the great
public utilities. But we surely ought
not to be committed by stealth to
such revolutionary change in Amer
lean policy. We ought not to drift
into it.
II the railroad administrator were
a believer in government ownership
and not exceptionally scruDulous, if
he possessed the peculiar code of
many conspicuous radicals, even Of a
less fanatic type than Lenine and
Trotsky, he could easily create a
situation which would make the re-
turn of the railroad properties to prf-
vate control. il not impossible, at any
rate difficult and unnecessarily cost
ly to all concerned.
The public has right to have this
situation fully clarified and the issue
placed before it uncomplicated by
unauthorized official policy and
methods. The American people
should be free to make up their own
minds on question of such funda-
mental and far-reaching consequence,
and we are certain they will resent
any course which deprives them in
any measure of this right.
