German Honesty Demoralized

1t has been said that before the war
the German railroads were more hon.
estly managed than those under the
supervision Of any other government.
AT that time the German government
was insisting on honesty among the
common people. Then came the war
with all its hideous revelations of the
rascality and worse among the ruling
classes. The dollhouse morale sup
ported by the government weakened
and, with thd withdrawal of the pa
ternal support, the public unaccus-
toned to self reliance suffered a re-
lapsesinto degeneracy, it would seem
from the information now coming to
the light.
The official figures Of the operation
Of the state railways in Prussia show
that during the past year there were
2ss.975 robberies of goods, 1880
loaded freight cars were stolen, 1884,
600 consignments of freight were
stolen. $1,000 express parcels were
missed. Among the $4,000 persons
convicted because of these acts 7oco
were railway employees.
1t is but just to consider the des-
titution which in so many instances
must have followed the war. Never
theless the conclusion is forced that
the German people were sadly de-
moralized by experiences they have
had. This, perhaps should have been
expected. but why should the man
hesitation in Prussia be greater than
in other countries suffering from de-
feat?

cal clerks under government super
vision remains to be seen.

One report is that British distillers
are unable to meet the increased for
eign demand for their wares. due it
is said to the smuggling of it into
the United States. Another report,
that of the government, which
couldn't be supposed to report only
on the wi1iskey that came in the reg
ular channels, states that last year
there were imported but 1880 gal
Ions as compared with 1,541,663 gal
Ions in 1913.

Those who claim the increase in
the habit Of taking drugs is due to
the prohibition Of alcoholic liquors
should explain the increase among
the men in the army of occupation
IN Germany where there is plenty OF
liquor. 1t is stated on what appears
to be excellent authority that Ger
man gangs have been reaping a sue
cessful harvest selling cocaine to the
soldiers. With plenty of that beer
we hear 80 much about, fiagons of
Rhine wine and no shortage of other
potables. why should the boys turn to
cocaine?

Selfshness, Wise and Other
wise

Much has been said respecting the
seiiishness and greed Of capital and
of those who administer it. The
soap-box orator seemingly cannot re-
fer to the brotherhood of man with
out in the same breath denouncing
the inhumanity Of capital.
It should not be necessary to pay
any heed to that sort of demagog-
uery. but it is interesting and posi-
bly, instructive to watch the working
of human selfishness, in the case Of
labor. as well as of capital. Several
Illuminating incidents have been re-
ported, which are worthy of notice.
Since the railroads have been COM
PEELED to curtail expenditures or be-
come bankrupt some of them have
put their employees on a five-day
week to avoid discharging a portion
OF them. Two roads, the Delaware
& Hudson and the Ann Arbor, offered
their operatives the choice of having
q five-day week or discharging prac-
tically an eighth of the force.
Did they vote to divide the work
equitably among their fellows? They
did not. On the contrary they voted
to send into unemployment an eighth
Of the force!
Fortunately one isn't confined to
the depressing cases like these. There
are occasional instances of humanity
as well as sanity. Capital and labor
In the employ of the General Electric
Company appear to have enlighten-
ment to go along with their selfish
ness. Under an arrangement, which
seems to be working out excellently.
they are handling the wage question
by cooperative effort; the wage work.
ers themselves have an opportunity
to say whether their wages shall be
lowered without resorting to a strike.
AS result of this they have arrived
at an amicable arrangement whereby
the wages have been reduced and the
work goes on. But for instances like
this there would be much more of
encouragement in the present situa-
ton.

The Cost Of Waste
Springfield Union)


No economic situation in which
waste is a factor can be satisfactory
or profitable. 1t makes no difference
whether it is waste of capital as in
the case of bad management, or is
a waste of labor as in case of re-.
ducing the capacity of capable men
to the capacity of the least capable.
All such waste goes into the price of
the product and not only makes it
high for popular consumption but, in
the case of manufactured products,
handicaps their sale abroad in COM
petition with others. 1t would be
better for capital to pay high wages
for labor which does it's best, accord
ing to its individual capacity. than
to pay lower wages to labor that only
does what the least capable can do.

The United States refused mutual
cancellations of war debts because
the debt she holds against Britain is
good" while those Britain holds
against the European Allies for whom
she pledged her credit in the United
States are mot good" The United
States will find out, however, that
until she assists in Strengthening out
European finance, by assisting
Britain in the task of setting Cont

have continuously diminishing export
trade. The only countries to which
Britain owes money for the war are
the United States and Canada, and
