Recognizing LOYALTY
(From The ROckU Mountain Mean

(From The Rocky Mountain Ne,cs)
Loyalty is of the finest virtues It
dgnifes any life, any vocation. The soldier
who dies at his post; the sailor who goes
down with his ship; the physician who sticks
to his task in a plague e-strcken community:
the switchboard operator who keeps her head
and calls others to safety while flames creep
nearer and the reporter who puts his assign
ment before life itself. The newspaper men
of London will erect monument to one of
their number who was fatally injured in
street accident while returning to his Office
with his story. Death facing him. his onlv
thought was to get his copy to the city desk
and he did. That sort of thing is not rare
in the newspaper world, but its recognition
is less usual than 1t ought to be.

Going to WeirY1ar

In his Sioux Falls speech President
Wilson revived a contention which only
a few weeks ago he frankly admitted
to be untenable. 1t concerned the ques-
tion Of submitting qualifications of the
league of nations covenant to the Ger
man National Assembly. Discussing
the Senate committees reservations and
again asserting that they do not change
the meaning Of the covenant, he said:
"Do they want me to ask the Germans
if | may read the treaty to them, ox-
pressed in the words the United States
Senate thinks it ought to have been
written in?"
reservations attached to the covenant
will have to be sanctioned by the Ger
man government. Yet this point was
brought up in the discussion between the
President and the members of the SEN
ate Committee on Foreign Relations, and
was decided the other way, the Presi-
dent himself asserting. The following
c0ll0Quy occurred at the White House on
August 20 last:
Senator FALI1--Well, Mr.. President It
is not my purpose to enter into an argu-
ment but we are here for information.
There are provisions for the amendment
of the articles. Germany is out of the
league. Any amendment proposed by the
other members OF the league, prior to
her coming into the league would not
be submitted to her, would it, she not
being member?
/. The PRESIDENT-I will admit that
that point did not occur to me. No, she
[itl would not.
Senator FALL-Then, so far as we are
concerned, we could make a recommends
tion in the nature Of an amendment
Senator PITTMAN-She has already
agreed by this treaty that she has signed
that the members may amend it,
The PRESIDENT-Yes
On August 20 Mr.. Wilson was salts
fled that alterations in the covenant
would not have to be submitted to Ger
many. For what purpose does he now
picture himself as compelled by the
Senate reservations to go, hat in hand
to Weimar?

Railways and Profits

Frederic C. Howe, who resigns as
Commissioner Of immigration to pro-
mote the Plumb railway plan, condemns
'tthe monopoly control of transportation
by persons interested only IN profits.
One of the reasons for the Plumb
plans unpopularity is that under it there
would be a monopoly control OF trans
portation by persons interested in profits.
The number of railway employees is less
than the number of railway owners, and
it is much easier, as conditions now are
in the security markets, to become a
railroad owner than to get admitted to
a railway brotherhood. So the Plumb
plan is more monopolistic than the pres
ent ownership.
Would the men add to their power the
power to fix their compensation? If
they did not seek profit, they would,
according to ST. Paul, be worse than
ihfides. A brotherhood member, of
course, seeks his profit. But profit seek
ing is no crime. By-it men are energized
and the world pushed forward. All that
legitimately may be demanded is that
man play according to rules prescribed
for him, chief among them being the
rule that if there are no profits he is not
10 get any.
The Plumb plans defect is not that
it permits profits, but that it does not
require railway employe to earn what
fe gets. What he gets depends not on
the work done or the skill displayed but
on the wage scale arbitrarily fixed by
the brotherhood. Imagine allowing the
stockholders to say what they should
have with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission forced to make tariffs high
enough to meet it! Yet to another and
smaller group Mr.. Plumb would grant
the privilege.
Mr.. Howe adds that he thinks railway
service should be furnished at cost. He
must know it is now furnished at less
than cost. The net return on the $18,-
100000, 900, which sum Mr.. Plumb admits
is invested in railways (the investment
has been much more), is now 21a per
cent. Railway owners at one time may
have received large profits, but for ten
years profits have been meagre. Railway
owners have struggled to sell out
1t is childish to discuss the railway
question on the assumption that railway
owners are making money. Compare
current prices Of railway securities with
those of ten years ago. Every sort of
property is doubled in dollar value The
railway security owner has taken a
heavy loss in dollars, not to speak of the
fact that the dollar he sells for buys
less. Combining the actual fall in quo
tations and the effect of the depreciation
Of the dollar, it is probably no exaggera-
tion to say that the average owner of
railway stock has seen rs per cent of
his wealth take Wings

The Primary Frauds

The District Attorneys office reports
evidence Of frauds in the Republican
primary election for President of the
Board Of Aldermen to the advantage of
Fiorella II. La Guardia, who had the
Endorsement ofsthe Republican organiza-
ton. William M. Bennett, who opposed
Major La Guardia for the nomination
and was defeated by 1858 votes, accord
ing to the returns, contends he was
robbed OF the nomination. He likens last
weeks primary election to the one In
1917, when he made "still hunt "against
John Purroy Mitchell for the Republican
nomination for Mayor, and, shown by the
returns to have been defeated, was proved
by careful recount to have won.
Anything less than a careful and COM
plete recount will not satisfy the people,
nor will anything less than full punish

District Attorney says were committed.

each of which may comprise no more
than square block, nor any group of
districts, will suffice as a vicarious deter
mination of the whole election.
Major La Guardia, who was drafted
to become candidate, preferring to re-
main in Washington as a Congressman,
has promptly and properly declared he
will not accept a tainted nomination. On
Sunday night, in response to Mr.. Ben
nett, he said:
"If Mr.. Bennett can show that there
was any general scheme to defraud him
he will not have to go all the way through
with a recount If, for instance 1t can
be- shown that there was deliberate fraud

Mr.. Bennett, his suspicious aroused,
is not likely to accept as determining
the result an investigation of few

Industry's 7 bird Party

There is pending in Canada matter that

tion Of organized amcable relations between
capital and labor in the building industry,
with certain amount of governmental par
ellis Ostensibly the motive is to quiet labor
and reassure alarmed capital.
This is all very well, but the plan has
the same structural weakness that every
similar proposal in this country furnishes
to the analyst, namely, the total disregard
of the third party to all such transactions,
the person who furnishes the opportunity
and the money upon which both capital and
labor feed
In this country, especially in New York
these trades have adopted what is termed
"snowbaling," which consists of series of
agreed upon consecutive suspensions of work
by the various crafts engaged upon a job
The object is to furnish the usual Giving
wage and better working conditions" and
usually succeeds at the expense of-the inno-
cent third party named. One of the results
has been the cessation of the building of
homes, the cost under the new dspensation
making it impossible for the average head
of family. In consequence rents are mount
ing to Incredible figures and there is an
outcry against the heartless landlords for
their proiiteering.
Within the last ten days intmation has
been given that the master class, aroused
against the consecutive suspensions, has de-
cided to institute a total suspension If this
is done there will be an appeal for confer

the time comes some should establish the

Sir: This "real boy" tradition dies

ton, as burlesque characters, is undcniable
But every boy has his thoughtful moments,
