Metal Car Fare Tokens.

Vixen the metal street car tokens
are introduced under the new fare
rates tomorrow morning passengers
Of the car lines will have to adopt
somc expedient FOR keeping them sep
arate from their cash else they will be
dropping dimes into the fare boxes
and thereby losing on each ride. Most
men have little cash pockets in their
coats. whore they now carry their car
tickets and in which they can keep
their fare tokens. Nobody. however.
will venture to prescribe the best
method for women, whose ways of car
rying things are beyond masculine IN
derstanding. The main point about
street car fares, whether paid in tick
cts or tokens, is to have them ready
on entering the car so as not to block
the doors. A metal token will perhaps
not be as easy to handle as o slip Of
tickets. 1t can BIO imagined that there
IL danger OF dropping one or more of
these bits Of metal as they are passc:
out by the conductor at the rate of
four for 80 cents. A metal disc thus
dropped is apt to roll. and unless care
is exercised there will be losses. A
dropped car ticket usually falls within
easy reach. All these little annoy
ances must be borne, however. It may
be that experience with the tokens will
on the whole be satisfactory, and that
whatever may be the rate of fare in
the future these metal discs will re-
main the standard means of buying
The people should
give the tokens fair test.

Congress and Convention Time.

1t looks like a getaway according TO
wish and plan. Congress has been
humping itself. and now the last Of
the annual appropriation bills IS ready
for the House. II will be promptly
disposed of. and then the length of
the session will be decided by the
Senate.
As the Senate is well up with its
work, too, no fear of delay i'll that
quarter is felt. In the little more
than five weeks that remain before the
republicans assemble at Chicago good
deal can be done and the record thus
completed for use in preparing the re
publican national platform.
Upon the whole, the republicans are
today satisfied with the record. 1t
shows the railroads returned to their
owners, an American merchant marine
on the eve of establishment, and re
duetion of nearly a billion and a half
dollars in the matter Of departmental
estimates for the support Of the gov
eminent. These are the leading fea
lures, which will be stressed in the
Chicago platform and from the stump
during the presidential campaign.
The work Of Congress will, of course.
cut large figure in the campaign. 1t
will be the contention of the opposi-
ton that the record is far below both
the promise of two years ago and pres
ent needs; that nearly all existing dis
tresses are referable either to repub-
ican indecision, or incapacity to de-
wise measures of relief. and that the
only remedy lies in a change Of lesis-
lative control beginning in March next.
While interest for the time is cen
tering in the next presidency, after
Chicago and San Francisco have spoken
and their nominations been appraised,
attention will then take in the next
Congress, and figuring on the com
plexion Of that body become feature
Of the day.

Mr.. McAdoo on the Railroads.

Former Secretary McAdoo is not an
announced candidate for President,
but is so generally regarded as factor
in the San Francisco equation that his
views on public questions are Of much
interest and are much sought. He
has just replied az "a private citizen"
to a QUESTIONABLE propounded by the
national board Of farm organizations,
and the reply covers a number of
propositions.
With reference to the railroads, Mr..
McAdoo suggests two-year trial un-
der the law just enacted returning the
properties to their owners; and if in
that time they do not function prop
erly he will favor the reopening of
the railroad question. He does not
say he will favor government owner
ship and operation, but that is the
alternative. If private ownership and
operation fail, the government will
have to be appealed to.
A two-year trial will be a short one
in the circumstances. The properties
have been returned to their owners in
a run down condition. and at 4 time
when building up will necessarily be
slow. All business is ont Of plumb
Money for big enterprises is not easily
commanded. Railroad employees Of

The Treaty and Reservations.

Mr.. Bryan, who advocates ratifying
the peace treaty with reservations,
thinks that public sentiment generally
takes the same ground. In an inter
view Just published he says: "In Ne
braskx Senator Hitchcock's vote'4re-
ferrinE to last weeks primary-"would
not have been worth counting had he
been compelled to rely on those who
Endorsed his attitude on the treaty"
This gives the impression that Mr..
Hitchcock stood with the President,
and was opposed to all reservations.
On the, contrary, he discussed reserva-
lions both on his own side Of the
chamber aAd on the other side, and
would have voted to raNfy the treaty
had he been able to secure the accept
anee Of the reservations he discussed.
But 40 the majority would not accept
them, and he would not accept the ma
jority's reservations, he voted against
ratification ON the final roll call.
Such was the attitude also of Mr..
Underwood, who has just been chosen
by reclamation the leader Of the Sen
ate minority, and Of Mr.. Simmons,
whose name will be presented to the
San Francisco convention for The presi-
dental nomination.
The treaty when before the Senate
could have been ratified with reserva
tions had the President permitted. the
treaty if returned to the Senate can
be ratified with reservations now if the
President will permit. There is prac-
tieally no sentiment in the Senate in
favor of ratifying the treaty as o.igi
nally submitted by the President. for
the simple reason that senator's are
advised that the thing cannot bc done.
Ratification without reservations is i'm
possible.

The Threat of Tomorrow.

Tomorrow, IL announcements made
by government officials are we'll found
ed, an outbreak Of crime will occur
in this country. unless plans are
changed. to advance the seditious plots
of those who are seeking the subver.
sion of the United States and change
toward the communist state. Strikes,
ssassinations and riots are now
planned. Appeals have been made TO
workmen to lay down their tools, to
the disconnected of all classes to join
the movement of the communists.
Naturally no publicity has been given
by these radicals to their own plans,
but specific evidence has been found
and set forth by the federal authori-
ties Of the psrnicious activities Of the
agitators.
The assumption is that the govern
ment has taken precautions to cheek
such a demonstration. In some cities
patriotic associations. notably the
American Legion, have rendered their
services for the preservation Of order
in case of an outbreak of violence. Pre-
sumably everything possible has been
done to eifcumvent this wicked scheme
Of q small group, mostly alien, who
hope to utilize the discomfort Of some
Of the working people to start q re-
volt here against our governmental in
situations.
The American people are sound in
their patriotism. They may have their
dissents from certain manifestations
Of our political life. They may be At
odds with the administration or critics
of policies that have been adopted and
enforced. When the issue arises as
between the maintenance Of govern.
ment and its subversfon they are
wholeheartedly and strongly opposed to
radical reaction. They will in this
crisis stand firmly by the government.
The hope is that the publicity that
has been given to the plans Of the Sc
ditionists will cause their abandon
ment. They are doomed in any case
to failure. No possibility Of success
can be seen. If bombs are used few
people may be MANNED or killed. II
other crimes are committed losses may
be suffered. If strikes are started in.
dustries may be temporarily embar-
raised and the public burden will: be
increased. But there Is no chance Of
"a revolution gaining Roadway here
through such means or on such
grounds, or in any conceivable cir
elm atances

And frogs we never heard before are

As butterflies draw near us In their
