Tho Yellow World.

It IS easy to see why China's i'm
perial color Is yellow. writes a cor
respondent from Yangste river. Her
rivers are yellow, her long plains are
yellow-especlally in famine year
such as this, and as for her SeaS-the
boundaries OF her world-so desert
yellow Is their color that q string Of
camels crossing them would look more
In Keeping than a string of junks.
And so one can understand why the
very heart of the heart of China, the
Imperial city, should lie like n SHIN
mering lake OF golden tiles within her
lotus-besieged walls. Even against the
evidence Of my own eyes cannot be-
lieve that the Great Wall IS built OF
solid ordinary stones laid one upon the
other. Rather it seems moulded out
Of the stuff Of which the mountains
themselves were made, long ago when
the world WAS plastic and empty of
all save possibilities. There never
was SO sinuous thing as the Great
Wall built by Inen, I think, SO sinuous
and SO aspiring.

DANGEROUS BLUFFING.

Talk Of a railroad strike may properly
be discounted. Even the vote of the rail
road unions in favor of striking may be
discounted. The railroad men surely
have more sense than to go strike just
now. If not, their leaders have more
sense than to order a strike. But why,
then. the strike vote?
1t is plausibly explained that this vote
is merely a weapon placed by the men
in their leaders, hands, to use in the game
of negotiation with the railroads and the
Railroad Labor board.
That, however, is dangerous weapon
to flourish at this time, whether loaded
or not. 1t fosters industrial controversy
when the great need is for industrial I'M
Outstanding and cooperation. A real
transportation strike would upset the
whole system of industry just when it is
getting nicely started again. The mere
threat of a strike is unsettling; it tends
to lessen confidence and retard revival.
Such action is bad for the railroad I'M
ions, too. because it INVITES charges of in
consistency and bad faith. The II per
cent wage cut which the men are op-
posing was made by the Railroad Labor
board which represents the United States
government, and which was provided by
legislation urged by the railroad men
themselves Everybody knows, moreover,
that the high wages of last year were
scaled to meet the cost of living, and that
the cost of living has fallen now more
than Il per cent.

FINE WEATHER WE'RE HAVING.

FINE WEATHER WE'RE HAVING.
\ newspaper editor of long experience
writes:
The weather is a universal topic. 1t
governs our agricultural prosperity. 1t
influences every kind of business. 1t
stops the ball games. 1t impedes trans
portation. 1t parches our soil, interferes
with our plans. disturbs our comfort, up
sets mental processes. compels us to
change our clothing when we do not want
to. 1t raises the very mischief in a hun
dred different ways. The wise editor
will print fine, fat paragraph about it,
describing the weather all over this broad
land, giving the practical, the scientific
reasons for its daily changes, and eX-
planning the indicated effect on trade,
travel and temperament"
When it's been very cold or very hot
or unusual in any way, don't you read
the weather story first? You like to
know how it has bothered everybody else.
Isn't this because weather is still mys-
ferrous to most people? Along broad
lines, summer and winter. sOlstice
and equinox, they realize that it works
according to law. But for the most part
the laws of its daily operation are
yelled. and it seems, therefore. capricious.
Observe carefully for a while Study
the weather maps. The mystery departs.
You know what clothes to wear and how
to regulate the furnace and the ice-box.
Weather becomes the most boresorhe of
topics. You can't endure the Isn't this
scorcher?" when You know that for the
last 46 years there has been a sizzling
week following the 18th of August
Yet after all. the. more you know, the
more the weather in its bigger aspects

The Aeddler doesn't know whether
the delay in turning on the high pres
sure seriously handicapped the local de-
partment in fighting the fire of early
Sunday morning. but whether it did or
not it seems to him that it ought not to
be necessary in time of fire for the de-
partment to ask that the high pressure
be turned on. 1t should be done by
someone the moment there appears to be
any likelihood it will be needed. The most

Now that the Connecticut River bridge
is practically finished and the town will
shortly be called upon to pay the balance
of its share of the cost. The MeddIer
believes the selectInen should turn their
attention toward settling with the Con-
necticut River Power Co, for the loss
of the structure which went out in the
ice jam of March %. 1920. No sensible
person believes for minute that the
town would profit from bringing a suit
against the Power company. In addition
to the cost of such litigation and the un-
certainty of the outcome there would be
complications in town financing during
the progress of the case. On the other
hand, it is not to be supposed that the
Power company officials prefer a suit to
a settlement. They already have offered
30 per cent of the bridge cost, it is under
stood, and that being the case it may
safely be assumed that somewhere be-
tween that figure and the total cost is a
point of agreement between Power COM
pany and town officials. What they
should both do is to get together for the
purpose of determining that point And
the sooner they do it the better it will
suit local taxpayers.
