| in other ways. Many rail lines were impov-
! erishcd Others have died slow and painful
deaths, though the country needed them
| badly Skilled and unskilled workers came
to believe that every corporation has tons
| Of money somewhere about. But to this day
| the men who have to bear the burden OF
worry for the corporations are apparently
unable to make themselves clearly under
stood to the rank and file of their men OF
to the general public. They appear to lack
n voice or a method Of approach. The habit
Of silence Is still upon them.
Men who engage in big and costly strikes
know no more about the very real troubles
Of the bosses than the average boss knows
about the troubles of his men. When the
two groups find way to mutual under
standings strikes will be done away with.
Mr.. Atterbury has said that a hope to
natonalizc the railways is still in the minds
of the railway unions. Now, IL railroads
are ever nationalized--and 1t is not likely
that they ever will be--the decision will not
be made by the unions or by the corpora
tions. 1t will be made by the general public,
whose rights and interests are most deeply
involved with the whole question Of rail
and water transport.
Public opinion will be profoundly affected
by the developments Of the next few years
in the world of railroads. For the first time
in history the rail companies and the men
whose talents and initiative keep them going
have had a square deal from the govern
mcnt-which means a square deal from the
public. The transportation act stands. The
Interstate Commerce Commission has be-
come far wiser than it used to be. We have
learned to view the railways as a national
asset of the first Importance, upon which
the comfort and welfare of oil the people are
heavily dependent. A general friendly re-
gard for the railway organizations will do
more than anything else to help the corpo-
rations to new and sound basis and to
revitalise the transportation industry.
So, there Is no place for railway r1en in
secret politics. There Is no need for hid
den deals. There Is no need for feudal
minds in those departments of railway or
ganizations which are supposed to deal with
the workers on the lines. The country has
dealt fairly with the railway people and
the railway people must deal fairly with the
country. Otherwise there will be fresh
trouble.
Corporations will have to learn to speak
openly and honestly in their own defense.
These are not years in which they can afford
to be haughtily silent. There is, for ex-
ample, a persistent rumor that interests
allied with the Pennsylvania Railroad are
obstructing the plans for a Philadelphia
Camden bridge. That rumor may be false.
But it was rumors of that sort that brought
an extraordinary assortment of woes to big
corporations in the past. Mr.. Attcrbury
would have been wise if he had disposed of
ii while he discussed the remOtcr matter of
rail naturalization.

rENNEssEE's MoNKEY-WRENcH

WITHOUT ceremony or warning the
w lower house in Tennessee sluDg q mon
key wrench into the election machinery OF
the country by reversing its vote for the
ratification OF the suffrage amendment. What
effect this action will have upon the status
of women in the national campaign minds
wise in the mysteries Of legal technique will
have to decide. 1t is altogether improbable
that the rights Of women will be N any way
abridged The votes amendment was for
mally ratified and ccrtihcation OF this action
was made to the Secretary of state. All
precedent established in similar instances
makes the ratification vote appear final and
unchangcablc But yesterdays astonishing
session at Nashville provides q basis for eX-
asperatng and costly quibbcs in the courts
and opportunities for delays and blocEadcS
which bitter cnders among the antis are not
likely TO overlook.
All this. however. is for the moment be-
side the point. The reversal in Tennessee
will be remembered rs shocking illustration
Of the utilities and failures that still are
possible in the governmental system Of the
most enlightened republic. If the gentlemen
IN Tennessee were not stupid they were COW
ardly. They have proclaimed to the world
that they do not know their own minds and
that they are incapable of stra Ght thought.
Some of the members fed like scared goats.
Now they have returned to pCrpCtrntc de-
cision that will cause laughter in some quar-
ters and blank disgust in others They
have made themselves and the legislature OF
their state for the moment ridiculous. They
would deny women the right to vote while
proying bv their own net that they them
selves have not the courage or ability to use
political power as it should be used.

affected less closely than its predecessor by
the daily fluctuations Of the battle line.
Continued obstinacy by either party pre-
sages disaster for both belligerents. Presi-
dent Pilsudski emphasizes the difficulties
threatening the Polish armies should they
dig in and remain on a purely defensive at
titude on the frontier Professionally chosen
by the Entente. 1t is plain to any out
side observer of this wanton war that further
invasion of Russia is the very thing calcu-
lated to unite temporarily the various fac
tons in the Soviet realm.
As matters now stand aggression by either
side has been fatal to the army pursuing
that course. The Red host failed in Poland,
the Polish forces In Russia. Peace. author
itatively established, is the only guarantee
against the recurrence of such calamities.
The official consent of Letvia to the meet
ing has been secured. The war-sick world
will anxiously await the news of tome sub
stantial progress in the negotiations.

GAMBLING AND DEFALcATlON

TNHE men and women who invested their
L money in Ponzis get-rich quick scheme
In Boston had better chance of winning
than did the local bank officer who tried
to win a fortune by gambling. lie Is under
arrest on n charge of miSappropriating
about $500 600 from the bank. According
to the story that is told. he first lost $1,000
of his own money. Then he borrowed"
from the bank to help him in winning back
his loss He did not win and kept on Dor
rowing"
This sort of thing has happened so often
and so disastrously that it is surprising that
any one should be tempted to try it again.
The professional gamblers know their game
too well for any outsider to beat them at it.
But the desire for easy money seems TO
be Unsuitable. 1t is the thing that makes
such men as Ponzi and 52,APer Cent Miller
engage in their operations and provides VIC
Tins for them. 1t is also the thing that pro-
yides victims for the professional gamblers.
On its gambling side the disclosures should
receive the attention of the police depart
ment. The bank officer did not seem to
have any difficulty in finding Places where
he could make his bets. The police, Low
ever, either do not know where these places
are or they have decided that it is impos-
sible to get evidence against them. 40 one

correspondingly upset the Soviet designs and
