. Nem Railroad Problems

(From the Providence JournaD
Although the plan of the railroad
managers for the restoration of the
properties to their owners has not
been published in detail, the general
points agreed upon indicate that new
legislation will be required to meet
the new conditions created by the
war. and that the 81 months speci-
fed in the law is ample time fos
working out a transportation prG-
gram.
The conditions to be emphasized
at the hearings before the inter-
state Commerce Committee of the
Senate include provision for meet
ing the increase of $500, 10000 in
wages granted by the Federal Rail-
road Administration. legislation for
preventing the collapse of the rate
structure throughout the country"
and income sufficient for annual ex-
penditures of billion dollars for
the next five years. There is moth
ing complicated in any of these
propositions. except, perhaps. in the
one pertaining to maintenance of
the rate structure-this calls for ac-
ton that will prevent state commits
sions from multiplying to consider
able extent the schedules approved
by the federal government. The
problem of intrastate and interstate
rates is a troublesome one. but 1T
ought to be solved in less than 81
months after the formal signing Of
peace terms.

This Is q Democracy
(From the Kansas City starr

(From the Kansas City starr
Senator Lewis of Illinois has a.
conception of democratic govern
ment different from that held by
most Americans. 1t was he who in
troduced the resolution pledging the
Senate in advance to support what
ever the President did in the peace
conference. Now he charges po-
litical plot because certain senators
in speeches have advanced views
at variance with the fourteen points
of the President
That policy belongs to an autoc-
racy, not democracy. Whether
one agrees with Senator Lodge and
other Republicans or not, one must
frankly recognize the propriety or
their discussion of the peace terms.
The war was not the President s
war. 1t was the American peoples
war. The peoples representatives
are intrusted under the constitution
with the obligation of advising on all
treaties.
England, France and Italy have
the right to know the views of the
dominant party in the newly elected
Congress on the great settlement.
America would fail in its duty If 1t
did not discuss free y and independ-
emily the questions now before the
world. Only through such discus
sion can a democracy be maintained.

Negro Heroes of the War
frrom the New York Worldl

(From the New York World)
War has sinister markings of its
own, in all sufficiency. There Is no
room for the color line across It's
horrid fvont. Such is the thought
that sugg .sts itself afresh, for there
have been other events calling to
mind the gallantry of our colored
troops, to one who reads the news
from Paris of 124 American negro
soldiers being decorated by French
authorities.
FOR extraordinary heroism under
fire"-that is, as translated, the. line
of commentator that goes with the
medals and war crosses conferred
in this highly satisfactory instance.
The words sweep aside every con-
sideration other than that of soldier
ly merit. The man who dares and
does, he is the man for all this and
all that.
1t is a matter of curious interest
to note the wide geographical sourc-
es of the regiments represented by
the boys honored at Paris. These
bodies OF colored fighters came from
Massachusetts and Ohio in the
North, from Washington, ID. c.,
from South Carolina. Maryland and
Tennessee. The courage and capac-
ity of negroes militant from New
York have won recognition also on
the fields Of France.

WHAT WILL THEY THINK?

ALTER Shaffer sits penniless
M in Paris to-day, impatientiy
w awaiting the postoffice de-
par,ments delivery to him OF S4oo
that ought to have reached MIN
three weeks ago.
And in Dauphin his distracted
narents are wondering what they
can do to galvanize the Burisonized
cable companies into action.
Young Shafier couldn't wait the
slow decision OF the government to
get into the war. He went across
and ioined the French forces as an
aviator. paying from his own wages
as printer for the training he
needed. He performed such heroic
services that he was promoted from
the ranks by the French and gwen
the war cross. He was shot down
behind the German lines, escaped
. barely with his life, was captured
and released when the armislce
was signed. Without money TO
come home he cabled his parents
for funds. and they managed TO get
torsther s4o0 10 send him. In their
anxiety they cabled the money. But
the Burlsonized telegraph COM
nonies in some manner that never
vould have occurred under the old
regime. failed to get the cash 10
him. This the parents know tor
yo,,np Shaffer's bank in Paris SO
notified them by cable. They COM
n,ained 10 the government con-
trolled companies and were in
formed that all such complaints
must be sent by mail; that the
errors of the telegraph companies
cannot be corrected by wire, but
must be done by letter. &C.,.
Think of a system that is not per-
mitted to check up its own mis-
takes. And Mr.. Burleson wants to
continue that sort OF thing indefin-
itely.
Meanwhile the government has
shaffer's money, his parents can af-
ford to raise no more and the young
aviator sits helpless in Paris. What
is Shaffer going to think of sys-
tenn like that? What are the other
Skaters abroad going to think about
It? We believe we know, and when
they express their opinion at the
polls Mr.. Burleson will head back
toward Texas as rapidly as a pri-
vately owned railroad train can
take him.

NO TIME TOLOSE

OvERNOR Brumbaugh in his
q farewell message to the Lesis-
~ lature urges that body to
move promptly in the provision OF
funds. for the erection of mem
orial bridge across the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad at State street as a
part of the Capitol Park develop
ment, and this is good advice.
The city is getting its plans under
way. the necessary legislation for
the special election to transfer
100000 from the old Walnut, street
bridge fund to that for the citys
share in the State street viaduct is
prepared and the people of Harris
burg hope that city and State will
move along hand in hand on this
big project.
No doubt the Governors recon-
mendation will fall on sympathetic
ears. The State is committed to the
improvement of the new park area.
Its officials who have direct charge
of the enterprise are deeply i'm
pressed with the possibilities Of
making the Pennsylvania Capitol
one of the beauty spots of the
world. The city is cooperating and
all things point toward success. No
doubt Senator Sproul, in his in
augural address when he becomes
Governor January 81, will include
park development paragraph. for he
too is heartily in favor of the i'm
provement.
But the approval OF the Legisla-
ture must be of a substantial char
acter. 1t must do as Harrisburg is
doing-set aside funds with which
TO meet the necessary expenditure
and there is every indication that
II will do this, handsomely.

RETURN THE ROADS

-HE Interstate Commerce Com
mission has advanced the tirst
= and only sensible railroad pro-
gram that has come out OF WASH
inpton since the roads were taken
over by the government. Neither
sudden REIMBURSEMENT nor perma-
nent ownership is the answer, the
commission believes. The country at
large is lukewarm on government
ownership where it is not openly
antagonistic. A great deal of noise
is being made but there is no real
popular sentiment. Indeed the op-
posite is true. The average man Is
sick of government interference.
What he wants is service and eco
nomy and he is. getting neither.

The Soldiers Return

What shall we render when the men
return from war
The men who fought that this.
our land. might live?
Is there too much-too much in
kind, in deed
For they who lived in hell, that
we can give?
Some sturdy cheers, a pittance.
charity, or praise.
With waving flags for strife no
longer feared
Forgotten as the past, and unre-
deemed
The broken pledge that trusting
men have heard.
Yes, they are conscious of the fate
there is In store
For men who sacrifice the ease
worn way;
Who, fighting in the dark before
the dawn,
Reap for the craven the safety
of the day
Deep in some hearts is Mammon
still intrenched,
The traders mart. the gods of
gold and clay;
They have not found the vision of
the soul
Revealed to those who walk the
hero's way.
Yet it shall pass, IL one, the least,
shall fall,
Broken and manned, unheeded
by the state.
All we have suffered, spent and
hardly won
Shall by our deeds become the
sport of Fate.
Then through land fiery cross
will rage,
Fierce. righteous wrath, with
stern consuming speed,
Shall sweep away those at the reck-
oning hour
Who debts of plighted honor fail
ed to heed.

Rockefeller, Jr., by Secretary of
Commerce Redfield, and by Mr.
Schwab, breathed a sentiment on
this subject highly idealistic when
compared with the position large
employers were wont to take in
times past. Mr.. Rockefeller's pro-
posed creed for industry especially
was lofty in tone and concept. The
surprising thing was not so much
that these addresses were made in
TINS vein as that they received prac-
ucally unanimous and hearty in
dorsement of the whole convention
representing as it did the largest and
most diversified gathering of Ameri-
can business minds in the history of
the country.
The idealistic tone that stamped
the Atlantic City convention. was its
most striking manifestation. Like
wise the unanimity by which free
recognition was given to the funda-
mental changes in the ordinary re-
lations of business which have
,grown out of the war. MANY
straightforward resolutions We're
adopted dealing with the subjects
which. are now uppermost in the
commercial held IN this country in
Guiding among others a decision to
have a commission of representative
American businessmen establish it
self in Paris during the peace confer
ence.
1T was, however. the frank ac-
ceptance of world service and recog-
milton of the greater democracy of
industry that made the convention
notable one. Reconstruction as
far as this country is concerned was
shown by tho Atlantic City confer
ence to be chiefly of trade and social
relations. If the convention shall
prove effective in promoting none
of the definite ends to which 1t COM
mitted itself, it still will have served
a purpose in demonstrating that
American business has caught step
with the new spirit of the times"

State and It's Waterways

E (From the Phila. Public Ledger)
1t is not without a special signifi-
canoe that o somewhat imposing
waterways convention meets IN
Pittsburgh at time when new
and broad-minded administrator
ot Harrisburg is viewed with nope
by all classes of citizens. The par
ticular gathering in Pittsburgh deals
with the plan of linking up the MIS-
sissippi through the Ohio T" Lake
Erie and the Atlant'" .sned ana
the Atlantic ports t..emselVeS Inc
convention is not discussing new
proposition. The general idea Is
almost as old as the country. Nor
is there any novel phase or MS IN
terstate waterways problem, since
the pittsburgh to Lake Erie canal
nroiect is one that has been before
the State and Congress for years.
However, like. many other subjects,
against which no objections can be
urged and which has no real enc
mics. it requires tremendous
amount of discussion to get anything
done. t. tnt ,,s.
At the same time, it must be plain
to all that the period of discussion
must end some tie. Tmhe pubic
by this time should be supersatur-
ated with the fact that no canal or
internal waterways problem is a
local one. And So recognizing the
basic facts, they ought to be insls-
tent that both the state and federal
authorities should begin to start
things going. To the particular
project which has been the special
concern of Pittsburgh, the Lake
Erie and Ohio River canal, this Is
so far from being local to Pitts
burgk that it might almost be
viewed as Philadelphia project.
That this is the case is in evidence
at this convention, since the last
session of the convention, which is
given over to a presentation of the
Ohio Erie canal plan, also presents
the Philadelphia phase of the gen.
of Wilfred II. Schoff, who has the
canal across New Jersey in his
hands, and of John Irwin Bright,
whose scientific treatment of the
port of Philadelphia makes 1t clear
that it is not a problem merely of
developing harbor on the Della
ware in the Philadelphia district,
but of linking it up as part of the
Ohio and Lake Erie and the Ohio
and Mississippi development. Not
only that, but the modern view sees
in these logically connected-up
waterways a part of greater prob
lem, in which scientifically devel-
oped railways and motortruck high
ways with the proper coast termin-
ais and interior distributing points
are 20 play an increasing part.
