CHEAPER RAILWAY FARES

ONE of the first things to be done by
~ the railroad managers, now that the
lines are in the possession Of their owners,
is, according to the president of one road,
to reduce the passenger fares and to in
crease the freight rates.
He said that high passenger rates are
felt by every one who travels, but that
the freight rates are absorbed in the SELL
ing price of commodities and no one is
aware of their existence. The freight
rates could be increased enough to reim-
burse the railroads for what they would
lose by reduction of the passenger fares
to two cents mile with profit to every
one concerned, in his opinion.
There is no doubt that a reduction in
fares would be popular. And there is little
doubt that the reduced fares would yield
about as much revenue as the three-cent-
a-mile rate now produces.
The three-cent rate has reduced the
number of railway journeys made by the
| people. Many Philadelphians who were in
the habit of going to New York frequent
| ly when the old rates were in force have
cut down the number of trips they make
and spend actually less in car fares than
they did because of their objection to the
! high cost of each trip.
| The first-class postage revenues of the
| government were greater with two-cent
letter rate than with three-cent rate.
Yet Congress, in an effort to increase the
war revenues, raised the letter rate to
three cents in spite of the teachings of
experience. 1t restored the old rate after
the new one had failed to Justify itself
1t may be that the increase in passen-
ger rates by the director general of rail.
roads was intended to discourage travel
ing so that the railroads might devote
their equipment to transportation Of
troops and war materials. The occasion
for discouraging travel has passed. The
present rates, however, are protected il
the new railway law against reduction
until September. But if the railroads
should ask for reduction in time for th'
summer travel it is likely that wa.
could be found to accommodate them.

UNREGENERATE TAMMANY

GIT MAY be wicked" says the typical
L New Yorker whenever Tammany is
mentioned, "but it is alive. We like to
move along. Tammany moves. 1t does
things"
Some of the things that Tammany does
when it isn't fattering the vanity of
speed-worshipers are being revealed in
the latest of the long succession of police
scandals peculiar to New York. It's rep
resentatives encourage vice. Graft wrung
from the miseries of outcasts has been
going in gobs to high police officials who
actually went out personally on tours of
collection.
Tammany controls the executive de-
partments of the city government in New
York and through the police it has always
fattened at the expense of the poor, who
naturally, are the greatest sufferers from
the social contagious that have always
fourished under it's rule. The traditions OF
the organization have been an inspiration
for corrupt machines everywhere in the
country. Tammany has for generations
been pace maker on the down-hill roaC
of politics. 1t set fashion that is passing
everywhere but in New York.

THE OLD STUFF

OUT of the recent sudden gust Of re-
- partee between Governor Sproul and
the Mayor loomed one suggestion that
everybody interested in the Camden
bridge has been expecting for year or
more.
Powerful commercial and real estate
interests" said the Governor, "are doing
their best to obstruct the bridge project
because of fear that it may divert busi-
ness from Philadelphia"
Let US be safe, by all means. 1t might
be wise to order all the railway stations
boarded up without delay. 1t is true that
traffic may, and indeed often does, move
both ways on bridge or a railroad. But,
a risk Is risk. A bridge over the De!a-
ware might be a hindrance. If we give
way TO the temptation to build one others
may follow; we may yet suffer the sort of
dreary isolation that is peculiar to New
York, where the bridge habit is an old

HOOVER AND SOME OTHERS

MIR. HOOVER, according to his own
4sA statement of the case, is neither a
rubber-stamp Republican nor a rubber

9hould be shrill outcry among the party
ihepherds. "If he isn't Republican and
\ he isn't a Democrat" shout these
.aders of affairs, what is he and what is

That is fair question, but it is difficult
. understand why it should be reserved
xclusively for. Hoover. Are the other

LABOR Is AMERICAN FIRST

TNIMID politicians could read Ole Han
i sons book on "Amercanism versus
Bolshevism" with profit, for in it he tells
how he successfully fouted the I. W. w.
labor union leaders in Seattle in his cam
paign for the mayoralty in 1918 and was
elected largely by the labor union vote.
A delegation of the Central Labor
Council called on him after he entered
the race and told him they would sup
port him if he would agree when elected
to let the chief of police go. The chief
had been appointed to clean up the dis
reputable resorts after the officer in
command of military training camp
had issued orders that no man from the
camp would be allowed to enter the city.
Hanson discovered that the chief was
offensive to the labor leaders because
when serving as police officer in another
place during strike "he arrested and
| imprisoned the boys because they tried
to raise a little hell" Hanson later
! faced these leaders at meeting of the
labor council and talked straight Ameri-
canism to the workingmen present.
When the vote was counted on election
day it was discovered that Hanson had
carried dozens of precincts where none
| but union workers lived. These workers
sound at heart in Seattle, as well as
everywhere else, repudiated the advice OF
their leaders and supported a man whC
denounced bolshevism and /. w. W.isn
and all other efforts to array clas!
| against class.

There is, however, as YET no obligation
to greet such hypothesis as an unavoid-
able reality. Neither stiff-necked Pres
ident, Senate corroded by unreasonable
partisanship nor the blight of politics
prone to capitalize sophistries can per-
manently repudiate the national will.
Jingoes may shrek for supreme military
and naval might, but the mass of the
public is SO revolted by the mere thought
of war that portions Of it are at times
deuded by the faint possibilities of it
which can be read by hair-splitters into
such an instrument for peace as the
league covenant.
Happily, the ranks of the misguided
have been thinning out. 1t is an accepted
commonplace that the people of America
demand the ratification of the peace
treaty and that they regard amendments,
providing they do not altogether destroy
the act, as of comparatively minor con-
sequence. The Senate and the President
can accede to this preponderating popu-
lar sentiment or they can defy it--for a
time. When it is fully realized what Mr..
Daniels's "incomparable navy" and what
an army on a similar scale would mean.
it is hardly to be doubted that the effort
to forestall the necessity for such bur-
dens will be formidable.
Some obscurity now exists as to what
political maneuvering is most responsible
for the treaty delay. Illusions on the
subject are bound in the end to be dis
PEELED. When they are, wrecking the
political destinies of the obstructionists
whether these momentarily succeed or
fail, is move likely to surpass in thrill
ing emotional values any superfuous
steps toward promoting fighting engines
in strife-surfeited world.

theory Of government by gags, raids and
the strong-arms of the secret service. :
a great many people General Wood
seems more militarist than Republican. is
General Wood for his party, for the
people, for sublimated jingoism? Is he
for the Old Guard--a party in itself
which exists independent of the party
whose candidate the general wishes to be
in 1920?
One might run all through the list OF
aspirants on both sides and find that
none Of them has been more definite,
more frank or more easily understood
than Hoover.

CAN HE COME BACK?

COLONEL GUFFEY, of Pittsburgh, has
~ emerged from eight years of obscu-
rity to take part in politics again "in a
nice, modest, quiet way"
It was not in this way that he busted
himself in the past. 1t was because he
was so far from mice" that A. Mitchell
Palmer and Vance Mccormick set out to
dethrone him and his associates in con-
troll of the Democratic party. They sue
ceeded, as every one knows.
His emergence, or shall we say his
recrudescence, is certainly not in the in
terest of the better element Of the Demo-
cratic party, as the quality of his callers

urday indicates
