The disappearance Of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll who
was sentenced to serve Eve years for draft evasion has
caused great outpourng Of editorial wrath. Grover
has been causing that sort Of thing for many years. but
the newspaper sccdng seems never to prevent Grover
who is most plausible young man. from finding some
one who will trust him. That he is absolutely untrust-
worthy was established many years ago, and there is
some satisfaction In knowing that his latest escapade
probably will bring down upon him long siege Of the
kind Of discipline he needs Now that he has got away
from the army authorities he faces the alternative Of
going back and taking his medicine which will be made
additionally bitter, or becoming wanderer upon the
face Of the earth.

S. Davies waraeld president Of the Association Of
Owners Of Railway Securities asserted in statement
issued yesterday that the nation wide freight congestion
grew out Of the fact that the railroad operating officials
had failed to meet the situation. That Is precisely
the view this newspaper has held ever since it became
apparent that the roads were in trouble. Government
operation Of the roads was failure because 1t was e1-
trayagan and Inefficient private ownership has in three
months proved almost equally disastrous to the business
interests Of the country because has lacked vision and
was Indifferent to the Lessons taught by the period dur
ing which the roads were under centralized manage
ment.

Senator Sutherland in final statement to the people
Of West Virginia issued at Clarksburg last evening" said
that he had been touched by the evidences Of frendh
ness toward his appeal for the West Virginia endorse
mcnt at the primaries on Tuesday We can well believe
that this is true Senator Sutherland has gone ahead
serving the people Of West Virginia simply because it
was his duty to do so and without much thought as to
how such policy would react upon his personal for
tunes. But the people Of West Virginia are not un-
grateful and they are going to give him the endorsement
he asks.
