THE RAILROAD OUTLOOK.

n N notifying congress that the rail-
roads would have to be returned to
their owners December 81, Director
Hines has practically forced the rail-
road situation into a new phase. There
have been rumors for some time past
that government operation might be
extended for a few months in order to
afford time for congress to legislate.
By informing congress that the roads
Will be returned Mr.. Hines has made
status of the lines, and in so doing has
practically deferred the discussion of
the general railroad question until a
later date.
1t would now seem that congress
would have to lay aside the Cummins
bill for the time being and enact some
temporary legislation calculated to pro
vide for Immediate necessities Jus,
how this will affect the prices of rail
road shares remains to be seen but its
first influence has been favorable
rather than otherwise. The railroad
shares. as is well known, have not par
ticipated in the great advance of prices
on the exchange. Favorable legisla
ton now may open the way to a moder-
ate advance in values, while unsatis-
factory legislation will hurt them, al
though of course not SO seriously a:
# would had they had an anticipatory
rise of prices. 1t will be some time
undoubtedly. before the railroad ques-
ton as a whole is satisfactorily cleared
up and meanwhile more or less uncer.
tainty must exist.

Fence tho act or ratification by the
state legislature is invalid.
The state of Ohio. or 1t least It's
legislature ratified this amendment on
January 10th. 1919. ana as 1t was the
seth state to do SO. Its action made the
amendment OF force and effect one
year later or January 10th, 1890 But
inasmuch as It's ratification has not
been sustained by the people, the
amendment cannot go into effect until
the next state in line gave its assent.
This was Wisconsin. which ratified
on January 18th. 1919. So. after all,
the only consolation the ''wets" will
set out of the affair is. the delay Of one
day in putting into operation constitu-
ticnal prohibition.

MEXICAN cAMouFLAeE.

m ECAUSH OF false reports sent out
III by Mexico, suspicion was aroused
| In this country that william o. Jenkins.
United States consular agent at Puebla.
might have been involved in a clever
scheme to swindle the Mexican govern
ment out of $150.O00 by conspiring with
the notorious bandit, FREDERICK Cor
dova. to kidnap him. The state depart
ment. however, is now convinced that
the charge OF collusion against Jenkins
IL baseless. We are willing to take
thu state departments word for it has
all of the facts in it's possession.
What then is the object Of Mexican
officials in trumping up such a charge!
Mere camoufIage, that is ALL Previous
kidnappings by Mexican bandits have
all but drawn the Mexican government
into decidedly serious trouble. Now the
bold bandits across the border, appar-
emily inspired by those responsible for
the conduct of Mexican affairs, deliber-
ately attempted to insult the United
States by capturing representative or
this government, announcing thereafter
that when s150,000 ransom money was
paid he would be liberated. But after
jenkins liberation he was arrested by
the Mexican government on the charge
that he was in collision with the
bandits Later he was released but
was again re-arrested. TIE United
States has demanded his immediate
release.
OF course Mexico will yield and at the
same time laugh in its sleeve at what
a Mexican considers a clever ruse to
Insult the United States. AS long as this
country will do nothing but issue state
department notes. Mexico is free to
openly countenance any outrage
Mexican desires to commit on the I'M
fortunate American who happens to get
across the borders. They held our army
aviators along the Texas border for
ransom and in Lower California Next
can subjects deliberately murdered two
other aviatops, after leaving them tc
starve to death. The crimes continue
to multiply. while we sit by as a ma
tion and tolerate them. OF what par
ticular benefit is it to the United States
II Mexico merely releases Jenkins and
sends d note of evasive apology, ex-
cusing it's acts? The insult still re-
mains. And the insult in this as in
almost every other outrage was in

by Mexico that country should be told

THE PRESS or THE
NATION SAY
DEATH AT THE WHEEL.
(Tribune, Chicago.)

In emphasizing the great number of
deaths and injuries caused by motor
accidents. the Tribune is trying to bring
home to the average motorist that a
great majority of mishaps are the re-
suit OF carelessness.
1t is an aphorism that an automo-
bilist must not only watch himself but
the other fellow as well. Drivers often
are victims of their own negligence.
Far too often they are the victims of
the carelessness OF others. And this
is as true of pedestrians as motorists.
Too many pedestrians fail to observe
the simple precaution of stop. look
and listen" Too many pedestrians in
s;st upon personal privilege to the
point of a disastrous collision with the
automobile. A motorist may plainly
b. beyond his rights by speeding, by
thrusting his car over a crossing, or
by driving on the wrong side OF the
road. The fact that a motorist is
guilty of gross law violation hardly
compensates the pedestrian who per-
sists in martyrdom to establish the le-
galfty of his position and the lawless-
ness of the motorists.
