Constantinople Is sadly in need Of a cleaning up, and.
whatever may be the shortcomings Of the Uaited States
in governmental affairs, our government has shown a
decided attitude in administering the affairs Of great cities
which came under it's direct supervision.
The federal government has performed wonderful
work in connection with the restoration Of great cities
within its continental jurisdiction which have been turned
over to It under great emergencies, as in the cases of
Galveston and San Francisco. And in its administration
of Havana, Manila and the Canal zone our government
has made a record which. we believe. has never been
equalled by any other. By all means let US take over the
cleaning up Of constantinople.

CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL RATES

Director General Hines says that notwithstanding
recent advances in wages to railroad employees, no ad-
vances in freight or passenger rates are contemplated. He
thinks that under the circumstances any deficits arising
from railroad operation-and he expects deficits-should
be borne by the government, as the pressing need Of the
country Just now is for conditions which will make pos
sibis tho resumption Of work in every industry.
In this~ connection It may be stated that steps are be-
ing taken to place before the railroad administration the
adsfsabtity OF establishing lower rates than now prevail
for the shipment Of heavy and relatively inexpensive ma
ferla1 used generally in construction work. Special men
ton Is made Of gravel for concrete work, and doubtless
other materials Of similar character are included.
The fixing Of railroad rates is a complicated work,
but IN modern practice it has become recognized that in
tho fixing Of these rates there must be a reasonable
amount Of discretion used. It takes as much steam, and
causes a. much wear and tear ON roadbed and equipment
to haul 4 car of silk or q car Of tea q given distance a. to
haul : car Of wheat or coal the Same distance. But the
same rate is not charged for these classes Of freight. In
the liking Of rates recognition is given not only to the ton
per-nni1e cost OF hauling. but to the ability of the COM
modify to bear the rate charged. And It Is sound public
policy to make the lowest possible rates on those COM
nqAtis which are basic to the industries Of the country.

Liberty, in the largest sense of the

THE MANDATE TO GOYERN

In dlsposing Of a number of ships which were built
for war purposes. but not used, the government is accept
Ing = substantial loss. and is thereby writing off a portion
Of the cost Of the war. The shipping in question is to be
sold at the rate Of $145 per ton, which Is 20 per cent less
than dts cost. This consequent loss to the government win
|be a good many million dollars
This, OF course. is but one instance Of the writing OF
Of war costs. The process is going on continually. and
in connection with practically every line Of activity in
which the government has been engaged. An appropria-
ton Of one billion dollars has been made to provide for
whatever loss the government may sustain in keeping
good dts pledges to the farmers and maintaining the price
of wheat at the basic figures of $2.2 per bushel until the
end Of the marketing Of this years crop. The loss is ex-
pected to fall considerably below the billion dollars
provided. but, whatever it is, it is a legitimate charge and
must be met.
At the close Of the active period Of the war our gov
eminent had on hand enormous quantities of weapons and
munitions, finished and unfinished, and Of raw materials
suitable for their construction. Most Of these finished
only for war work. and such as, let us hope, we shall need
very little in the future. In many lines Of such products
all the. labor that has been expended on the manufacture
will represent a dead loss and the raw materials which
have been accumulated have in many instances been OBJ
tanned at prices Inflated by the exigencies Of war, and
must be marketed at new prices in conformity with the
needs of the world for the constructive work Of peace.
AS a mattes of bookkeeping these differences will fig
ue in the profit and loss column. But it is really a mis-
take to consider them losses. Our building of ships had
its effect on the winning Of the war. even though the war
were ended before some of the ships were launched. We
and our enmies knew that the shipping was there, that
it was being prepared for use, and it's existence entered
into the calculations of both parties. The governments
guarantee of a stable and profitable price for wheat re,
suited in increased production of the food which we and
our allies needed. Our production of military. materials

gas on an Unprecedented scale. and that before long Ger

would be useless. That knowledge contributed to their
willingness to quit, and as the purpose of all these prepa.
rations was to end the war in victory, 1t was a matter OF
comparative Indifference whether thA materials were
used or not. It served its purpose.

control Of one people by another. And, as it is usually
applied. the whole theory is false.
The Digger Indian and the Australian bushman may
each consider his type Of civilization superior to that of

periority of his own system does not either require or per-
nit Of civilization the regulation, in some respect, of the
affairs Of the savage.
Civilization has rights. and it has duties. Among it's
duties is such regulation Of the affairs of those peoples

are incapable. for the present, at least, of conducting their
work according to its standards. In accordance with this
principle there viii be Incorporated in the finished con-

Some Of it will be presented to the United States. We will
not be expected to do all Of it, but we must be ready to
do our share. And, when a request to that effect is made
by the representative statesmen of the world, and its pro-

CHAPTER XIV.

AAS A~AA ~
The car hat was bearing Shirley
road alta breathless speed suddenly
came to a halt in the rear Of an old
house whose front faced on another
road equally lonely. During the brief
time that they had been in the woods.
the sky seemed to have p%erceptibly
darkened with the coming evening.
Shirley looked about her with in
creased fright. 1t was almost night
and here was her prison. far from
town or human dwelling place. Even
the DAD was at some distance in
front of the house. and there were
more woods on either side.
"This here is Secretary Bakers

who had dom the talking as he
climbed out of the car and opened
the door for her. You can just step
the parlor; the helps all out this aft
ernoon. The secretary'll be down
presently. He always takes a nap
afternoons about this time. I'll tell
him you've come"
There seemed nothing to do but
obey, and Shirley chose to let the
farce continue. Surely the man must
know she was not a fool, but 1t was
better than open hostility. There was

and she noticed that he and the driver

wild glance toward the open space.
There was simply no chance satlallIto
run away even II she succeeded in
eluding them at the start by a quick,
unexpected dash. They were alert
athletic men. and no telling how
many more were hidden in the house.
"Oh, very we'll. of course. II It's a
matter of etiquette!'" said Shirley
pleasantly, determined to keep up the
farce as long as possible.
A cold, dark air met the girl as she
stepped within the creaking door and
looked about her. At h left was an
