CAPITAL CHOOSES MIR. TAFT.

Conditions incident to the war have
made it necessary that the employers
and the employees of the country I'M
derstand each other and their rela-
tions to the public more fully than
they have in the past. To this end
the government called a conference of
the spokesman of capital and labor for
the purpose of formulating a definite
policy with reference to labor and with
the ultimate end in view of prevent
ing labor disturbances during and
after the war
A permanent board, composed of
five representatives of the American
Federation of Labor, five representa-
tives of the national industrial con-
ference board. and two representa-
tives of the American public, will con-
tinue to confer in the hope of arriv-
ing at n solution of the labor prob
lens which have caused the govern
ment so great concern since the be-
ginning of the war.
II is n matter of qualification that
former President Taft has been asked
to sit upon that board as one of the
representatives of the American peo-
pie. Mr.. Taft is one of the greatest
of living Americans Since retiring
from the Office of chief executive of
the nation he has behaved in such
manner as to retain the respect and
esteem of the entire people There
could have been no selection more fit
ting than that of Mr. Taft The con-
illusions arrived at by the conference
will carry weight with the Ameri-
can public they would not have had
without the former Presidents name
and ability and recognized honesty Of
purpose to attract attention and sup
port to whatever program may be de-
cided upon.

HERE AND YONDER.

The literary editor of the London
Nation who, in his intellectual flabber-
Clustering pursuits is continually try
ing to refine, redistill or denature per-
fectly good language as it is known to
the elect, has tackled the word
drunk" and, to we of the great Amer
lean republic. he hasn't done very
we'll with it, This British literary
genius offers such descriptions as
"fou," "groggy,' "potvoliant," screw
ed" served up" ''nappy," "muzzy'
and other distinctly English terms;
but he is either ignorant of the wealth
of the American vocabulary. or else
he has deliberately ignored it-passed
ii by, as it were. as being of little or
no value. Therefore we take issue
with this highbrow in the domain of
our motherland. What sense is there
in a list of terms or phrases on this
gripping topic which omits such
terse and transcendent words as
''soused," loaded" picked" tank
ed" "corned," "besot," ''boozedp or
soaked? Take your choice; but we
maintain that for rich descriptive
power, America has England beat.
Anyway, there are as many kinds of
drunks in America as there are in any
other country on the planet.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL.

Pity poor Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt.
She now will have to ride common
old Pullman cars" just as ordinary
millionaires do. Cruel Mr.. McAdoo
has refused to allow her the use of a
private car so that she could visit
her husband. Here's the way the
Washington Times tells the story:
IF Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt wishes
to visit her husband, who is a colonel
with the l03rd Engineers, stationed al
Camp Wadsworth. Spartanburg, S. c..
she will have TO make the trip in an
ordinary Pullman. Railway Director
quest that her private car be taken
from New York to the South Carolina
camp.
when the permission was denied
Mrs. Vanderbilt wired back that she
would gladly pay forty faTes-the
capacity of the car is forty passengers
for the privilege. She was inform
ed, however, that private cars were
taboo under general orders No. /, is
sued by Director McAdoo, and thai
no exception could be made in heI
case.
Col Vanderbilt is a heavy stock
holder in the New York Central Rail
road"
Whatever else may be said about it
government control certainly has
strong points in its favor. This is one
of them. Under private control of the
railroads, Mrs Vanderbilt undoubted-
ly would have been given her private
car, or a private train for that mat
ter. regardless of the demands that
might have been made upon the rail
roads. But she can't have any such
privileges as that while Mr.. McAdoo is
on the job and, for that reason, we
hope Mr.. McAdoo will remain on the
job until the war is won.

To the Editor: The people of East
port think the idea of closing the beer
saloons in Annapolis is ridiculous.
1t will stop the traffic over the Spa
Creek bridge, and there will probably
be no need of bridge hereafter.
If the town goes dry, we Eastport
people wont speak to the town people
any more.
There will be five hundred beer
buckets on sale over here. If not
sold they will be turned over to the
soldiers for bath tubs, and the tears
we Eastporters shed will supply them
with water.
