SOPHOCTES.

It is a great date, Jan. 30. For, on this day in 405 B. c. the il1ustrious Greek dramatist and poet, Sophocles, died at Athens. Erchy1us fills us with sublime terror; Sophocles is the tragic but the beautiful poet; Eurf- pides, the tragic and pathetic. There you have the three whose works shook the Athenian theatre, and still shake the world.
 Both tragedy and comedy began with the Greeks. Thesp1s of Icaria, the inventor of tragedy (536 B. CD performed at Athens "AlcestJs," and was rewarded with a goat (tregos, in Greek, from which comes our word "Tragedy.")
 In comedy, Aristophanes was the greatest of the Greek dramatists. Ot all Sophoc1es's plays, the greatest in point of grandeur and beauty are his "Oedipus, King" and the "Antigene."

GOOD CHANGES FOR WOMEN IN
 RAILROAD WORK

Washington, Jan. 30. - A distinct future for women is offered in Rail road work, Miss Pauline Go1dmark, manager of the women's service sec tion of the railroad administration said today in her annual report to Director General Hines.
 Testimony from their superiors in- dicatss that women will undoubtedly progress further in all form of work ,'' eaid Miss Goldmark. While in some offices there is hesitation in encourag- ing them to advance into more re- sponsible positions, in other offices there is a distinct effort to put no ob- stacles in their path.
 "The outstanding feature of the year has been the continued employ nent of women in the service. While the number has decreased 20 per cent. since the highest point reached on Oct. 1, 1912, it still remains 2 1-2 times larger than before the en- trance of the United States into the war;
 Miss Gold1nark reported that ,n January 1, 1917, there were 31,400 women employed on class one rail- roads in the United States; that this number had increased to 61,162 on January 1, 1918, and to 101, ,7S5 on Oct. 1, 1918, and had dropped on Oct. 1, 1919. to S1,803.
 1.-TWO important factors were in part responsible for this deer rease,' D said Miss Go1dmark. "Fi1@, the return of men from service W h the army and navy and second, the dras- tic reduction of labor force on the railroads early in the year in order to effect necessary economy
 Salaries of women employed as clerical workers ranged from $45 tc s1Oo a month with the largest per centage receiving between $70 and $50 a. month.

 At present the foreign demand for silver is nearly all for China as settle ments with India of late have been largely made by means of gold.
 From April 1 to August 31, how ever, the imports of azTver into India aggregated s8,302.459 ounces, which compares with 79,452,911 ounces m 1918 and 4S,146,89s ounces in the 1917 period.
 The price of silver in the Nev York market in the last week of De- cember was around $1.33 per ounce. Reports indicate that Mexico's pro- auction in 1919 has come back close to it's highest record, and that world production will not be far from 200,- 0o0,000 ounces The worlds record production for one year was 226, 100000 ounces in 1911.

The osadiine Of Free Speech

(New York Tribunel
Attorney General Palmer. in his
statement to the House Judiciary
Committee. correctly traced the
'deadline of free speech.
The constitutional guarantee does
not protect one who. by word or inn
plication. urges or incites resort to
physical force or violence to over
throw our democratic. institutions.
Free speech is flower of demo-
cratic freedom. 1t blooms from no
other soil. Destroy democracy and
there is and can be no free speech.
A rule of force means the applica-
ton Of gag.
So. to defend free speech it is nee
essary to deny to any one the priv
ilege of attacking its roots. And one
who upholds the doctrine that it is
permissible in a free country to ad-
vocate the establishment Of a regime
of force is an enemy to. not a friend
Of, free speech.
This country. as the ATTORNEY
General says, has had its revolution.
Those who come to our shores ac-
cept the results of this revolution.
Some truths concerning government
are immutable-self- evident. as
Thomas Jefferson wrote-and one il
that government must rest on con-
sent, and not fear.

Are We q Joke?

Is this really a funny world or are
few Of US possessed Of a warped
sense Of humor? When the war was
on and during the long months the
peace was in the making it was adj
mitted everywhere outside Germany
that the German emperor and many
Of his tools we're murderers; it was
furthermore agreed that Germany
should be compelled to make restitu-
tion for damage done in SO far as
possible. though it was evident this
could not be complete. To this there
was no pertinent objection, the evil
dence Of crimes was thought indubit-
able. Nor since has there arisen any
proof to the contrary. yet what is this
we hear, about the demands for these
things being unreasonable, impos-
sible, not to be expected; that many
provisions Of the treaty will never be
carried out and the allies we'll know
It? What were the treaty makers
doing those long weary months when
the world was held up, making pro-
visions which they knew to be impos-
sible? And what has become Of the
theory that punishment must be had
OF high-placed criminals as well as of
those Of low degree II repetition of
such fiendish exploits is to be dis
couraged? Surely II there be any

those efforts by the strictest regu-
lations possible to prevent monopoly.
We cannot expect the directors Of a
corporation to recommend selling for
less than the market price. even IL
the profits be abnormal. Were they
to suggest it the stockholders would
be likely to have them removed. Yet
they could present an excellent ar
gument to the effect that these profits
are having a bad effect. like that of
strong drink on the individual. over
stimulating production and estab-
maintained. But would they be lis
tened to? They would be howled
down in most instances and asked
what they would say when the lean
years came and profits disappeared.
Who would then regulate the price
on a fair basis?
That this is proof Of the need OF
reform may be admitted. Reforms
have been proposed; even now the
Washington authorities are expert
menting with the retail end of it but
are getting nowhere and only aggra-
waiting the whole situation while the
enormous cost of sustaining the in
spectors and experts add to the
burden. Publicity may be had;
values may be ascertained so that
the purchasers may know what is
extortion and what is not. Do these
things. enforce laws against monop-
olies. punish all collision and con-
spiracy to create Or maintain moncp-
oly-and buy only what you need
cutting out superfiuities and luxu-
ries; do these things and soon the
laws Of supply and demand will bring
US nearer to a normal condition than
all the government nostrums yet sug-
gested.
