At the End of
Six Years

Reviewing Mr.. Gregory's iacumbency
as whole, "The New York Evening
Sun" adds
With the resignation Of Attorney CEN
eral Gregory closes period OF six years
marked by comparative peace IS between
the Department of Justice and the de-
PENDANTS that figured foremost in the pre-
vious time. If the great business organi-
zations have not yet ali obtained perms.
nent conditions of peace with the govern
ment, the prosecutions Of such defendants
have dwindled in number
"Mr Gregory found his chief opportunity
for distinction in the offences of the Ger
man agents and sympathzers antecedent
to our entry into the war His department
did much TO track and bring to punishment
some at least of the alien mischief makers.
AT the time, perhaps, it was felt that ,hs
department had lost too much time IN
taking up the Germans dehnqucnces. In
the end, at least the government dealt thor
oughly with the guilty"
According to the Attorney Generals
letter to the President, by the time his
resignation is to take effect the Depart
ment of Justice will have substantially
brought its war activities to a close and
be working under normal conditions
There appears, though, to be little specu-
lation rife as to who viii succeed Mr..
Gregory. Washington dispatches speak
of Frank l.. Polk of New York. Counsel
Tor of the State Department. and of SEN
ator j. Hamilton Lewis, Of Illinois, IS
among the lkeliest possibilities for the
post. But it is not personalities that ara
dwelt on now when the topic is broachcd.

Whatever system of management NAV
finally be decided upon On this point
"lhe Philadelphia Public Ledger" says:
Both the railroad executives and the
Interstate Commerce Commission are in
agreement that the advantages which have
grown out Of the present government con-
troll ought not to be lost and that the unfit
cation of service, the simplifcation of rate
schedules, the pooling of facilities and the
merger OF lines ought to be permitted under
proper control"
The discussion Of these questions,
however, has not, in the view of this
paper, gone far enough to warrant any
conclusion save only that government
ownership is the last alternative to be
considered"
In an editorial inclinng rather kindly
toward the Cummins proposal, "The
Kansas City Times," among many others.
expresses much the same feeling, saving:
Government control of railroads has de-
ve!oped obvious advantages and equally OBJ
vlous faults. Freight is no longer hauled
all around the country in order to give vari-
Gus lines share in the haul and useless
trains have been cut off. But service has
been badly demoralized
"What Senator Cummins is trying to do
IN his new railroad plan is to combine the
evident advantages of government owner

ment and public acquisition of the unearned
lncrement-with the advantages of private

"A Wilson's official household has
given notice. This time it is
Attorney General Gregory who
is going to leave. His resignation, dated
January 8 and accepted the following dav
from Paris by Mr.. Wilson, is to take ef-
feet March next. The reason advanced
by the Attorney General for his with
drawal is the same which ex-Secretary
McAdoo assigned for his return to pri
vate life-insufficient salary "Pecuniary
responsibilities Of substantial nature
rest upon me, and my private affairs
have long demanded attention." is the
way Mr.. Gregory puts it in his letter to
the President
Coming so swiftly after the McAdoo
pronouncement, this blunt statement of
the case has served to draw public atten-
ton to the subject of Cabinet salaries
and their adequacy in a quite new spirit
OF inquiry. After all, is S12,5OO a year
sufficient recomrense for the Chief Ex-
ccutlve's advisers and lieutenants? When
Mr.. McAdoo, pointing tc the increased
cost of living since that figure was set
first declared that he could not afford to
continue his voluminous duties at such
price, the impulse of the press was to
smile, refer to patched pants" and pass
the problem on to the paragraphers. But
now Mr. Gregory's affirmation of the
same plant has altogether removed the
question from the merely individual
plane. In the resultant discussion, the
possible bearing Of the Attorney Cen
erals own passing has, at least tempor-
arlly, been largely thrust into the back

at least it came out decided and Writ
ually unanimous, in belief that there
is no place in this country for gov

equivalent for it. Says "The Philadel-
phia Press:
There is a general looseness in Federal
management which is perfectly obvious
throughout all departments of the govern
ment. The same applies in exaggerated
form to the railroads. Whatever may have
been the shortcomings of the roads under
private ownership, there was present at
least an element of discipline"
