Where Obligation Rests.

NEITHER the W. R. & E. nor any other street
" railway corporation or public utility is a
public benefactor" That is but bunk Street rail-
ways as street railways have brought great Benefits
to city dwelers. So have automobiles, electric
lights, gas, telephones and railroads and of
other products OF science and invention. So have
department stores the United States Steel Corpora
ton and blast furnaces. But of them is try
ing to do business the basis of being public bene
factors and somebody owing them living
The w. R. & E. should get playing the
baby act. 1t is business enterprise and nothing
else Moreover, it never extended and maintained
lines into comparative wildernesses." 1t bought all
the lines it has business investment. 1t never
extended built any. II has failed to properly
maintain these lines. preferring to pay dividends
its overcapitazation. This was bad management,
mighty bad management.
Another indisputable evidence of bad manage
ment is that the W. R. & E. has lost the most val
liable asset any public utility can have-the good
opinion of its patrons. 1t has operated the
claim that it was the poor, abused, unappreciated
child of ungratefu public, to which the public
owed a great obligation. The public owes it nothing
save what it earns, any than it does to any
other corporation, company business. 1t got the
right to the of the streets and certain other
concessions from the public and owes in return what
it has paid.
1t may find which side the obligation rests
if it should undertake to carry out its threat to
abandon what it terms as improbable lines. Ii is
single corporation, single utility service.
1t no longer is group OF individual lines
panies. Its charter will not permit it to discon-
tnue operation where pleases and abandon tracks
1t may well stop such threats along with its
pleas public benefactor." 1t may as we'll get
down to the realities that it is grossly overcapal-
lied and that if it unload its street railway
property and retain the electric light and power
utility without additional encumbrance, it will have
made good settlement Of its difficulties.
1t will not be the first public utility which has
had liqudate. 1t bought several OF that sort 1t
bought them investments. 1t is investment and
that it may have proved poor one does not make
it unique, transfer the burden from it to the
public.

= fundamental Of character and q ! blessing to the
world At this period of settlement Of the British
Irish situation.
& II is something which the British government
has wholly failed to comprehend. 1t has shown
an amazing amount of stupidity. in not realizing
how quick the Irish are to respond to "a policy Of
sympathy and understanding. and how equally quick
to resent and fight to the death what their
resentment as unjust, unfair and oppressive. With
this is the Irish spirit Of independence. strong
feeling of racial difference and refusal be other
than Irish in their great pride in that distinction
In these characteristics, along with the inherent
British instinct OF. fairness which this government
has failed to express lies the present confidence that
the negotiations at Downing Street will reach a
happy conclusion. What other people would have
greeted Gen. Macready at Dublin and Greenwood in
London as did the Irish? What other would SO
instantly have responded to the promise of peace in
prayer with total absence of revengefulness
bitterness of memory? If peace comes, as it must,
in what other land could there be such confidence
OF its acceptance with bygones bygones, and a
new start with commngling of those who were en-
cmies, as cordial friends?
1t was indeed the irony of fate which brought
the Irish and the British under rule, almost on
one soil. Both admirable in character, with many
like ideals but so totally different in temperament
and character to be as oil and water, they
may live as peaceful and helpful neighbors under
one governmental responsibility, but hardly under
roof as a family

Thinks Landlords Slandered.

, t. the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Would be correct. Mr.. Editor, in
saying, the press of the United
States, because of misdirected ener-
giles. is doing everything in its
power to raise rents charged by the
landlords? I fully realize, though,
the press is conscientiously working
to try to reduce rents.
For example. the pawn-broker
business is, / believe, generally
looked down upon, and because Of
this fact not more than one in ten
thousand has the slightest desire to
go into the pawn-broker business,
as the mental picture Is generally
that Of a business where profits are
made by the other fellows misfor-
tune, and because of the standing in
public opinion of the said business,
il Is a fact. Is 1t not, that very eN-
orbitant interest rates are demanded
and secured, because of the lack Of
competition?
Now. isn't II a fact the press of
our country has given millions Of
dollars of free space in an endeavor
to paint a mental picture of a land
lord as a person far worse than the
pawn-broker. the boouegger. the
lottery man, etc, and II the press
is successful in painting this horri-
BILE mental impression, why. then
the many thousands of investors
with hundreds of millions of dollars
at their disposal for investment at
a fair rate of interest will naturally
refrain from becoming landlords?
1t stands to reason. investors do not
want to place themselves in public
opinion in a class where they will
be continually referred to in a gem
eral way as Rent Hogs" Rent
Profteegs." Rent Gougers.' etc.
This, Mr.. Editor. may, in my hum
BILE opinion. be one thing that is
preventing the law of supply and
demand" from operating, and you
know this is the only cure for the
house shortage.
II a newspaper publishes just a
small item that oil is struck in a
new section of the country. or gold
is found in this or that region, or
such and such a legitimate business
has been very successful, immedi-
ately you will find millions of dol
lars seeking investment in the said
lines of business.
Along this line of reasoning. don't
you agree If the press would chang
its tactics. telling of the wonderful
opportunities in building and rent
ing property and what a dignified
occupation this is to engage in.
hundreds of millions of dollars
would be attracted and we soon
would have plenty of houses to go
around at reasonable rents?

Muscle Shoals Project.

IIENRY FORD has abundant financial re-
sources He either has in himself or holds
in his organization executive and administrative
ability to assure to vast industrial enter
prses. Any offer from him to finance take over,
operate and manage any business undertaking de-
serves serious consideration decision based upon
strictly business principles.
He has offered, if the government will complete
the Muscle Shoals nitrate plant, to take it over,
operate it and ultimately buy it. The government
has invested there $8oooooo. Mr. Ford offers
to buy the nitrate plant at value of S3oooooo to
take Ioo-year lease on the water-power plant de-
veopment; to pay per cent the estimated cost
of $2Sooo,ooo and to amortze all costs during the
term of the lease.
He will further agree to produce fertilizer COM
pounds to keep the plant in condition to manufac-
ture explosives in of war; to limit fertilizer
profits to per cent, under independent inspection,
to surplus power in his own industries, to keep
the locks in repair and practically take the
entire improvement in all of its phases.
This plant may have been wrongfully located
but it applies proved commercial process. 1t will
supply what is a present need and a product not
produced in this country. The farm interests
want the plants completion. They have entire con-
hdence in Mr. Ford, who has the organization
through which to market the output, and the de-
msnd for other forms of farm needs which will
warrant expansion to utilize the surplus power
This Offer which has in effect been invited,
would seem most fortunate solution of war un-
dertaking stopped by the armistice 1t promises a
way to the present investment, to provide a
great, industry; to competitive supply
of fertilizer and to provide material which in
of emergency could be furnished only after long
delay and an expense equal to the estimated cost
OF this plant. The country will hardly approve lack
of consideration of Mr.. Ford's offer and its re-
lection will need to be based upon exceptionally
strong grounds.

Urges Prohibition of War.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:

thanks for some admirable sent
ences in your editorial. under the
title of The birthplace of Wars"
You say that the crowning error
Of the covenant of the league OF
nations is that il adopts the policy
of political control" That's IL exact
ly!, 'Vous parleZ d. Or" as we
would say in French CYou speak in

fact that never will any nation sub
mit-for a long time at Ieast-in
our time of democracy Cwhen the
breath of liberty sweeps nightly
across the earth from individual to
nation and Vice-versa)-to having
her internal affairs controlled by a
league. or any league. Now do
not say that this is riEht or wrong.
but that il is a fact. We need a
league. or association of nations

half a dozen of the other-such an
association needs to tactfully re-
move no liberty. only license, the
license of evil.

hibit war. in the same way as Amer

drink. giving thus a noble example
to the rest of our planet. All! that
also America would lead the world
in such a crusade. calling a con-
ference of all nations to this pur-
pose of prohibition of wholesale
slaughter. This would naturally in
clude disarmament. but would give
it the necessary strength. Partial
disarmament failing to bring us
down to even the military quota e&-
isting before the war-and which
never prevented war; nor an in
crease Of armaments, once war was
declared.
The league of nations does not
prohibit war: lit only delays war
And the Germans also delayed war
forty years. longer period than
the few months provided by the
league of nations, as a suspense.
Delay is not complete prevention.
therefore. prohibition alone grants
the acme of il - in all lines
comprising as II would also. natural

lent phrases. the depth Of which. '

people are coming forth with con-
structive programs and suggestions.
As to the question of having cars Of

cably agree with the proposition.

Yes. by all means let the Afro
Americans rool their money and buy
cars to make for higher morale and
justice for the colored travelling
public. We do not get that for

Favors Dye Tariff.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
The dye bill is on. and / favor
complete exclusion of all German
dyes. England, France and Italy
realize the Importance of dye in
dustries as potential arsenals and
have enacted drastic exclusion laws.
They know nearly every pound of
Germany's war gases and high eN-
plosiyes were manufactured In her
dye plants, and are awake to the
Importance, of chemical industry.
Dye plants and pharmaceutical
laboratories are SO closely allied
with the production of war gases
and high explosives that a separa-
ton is impossible. A. destruction OF
one is a destruction of both. Real
disarmament is to abolish chemical

Attacks Race Discrimination,

I" the Editor, The Washington Herald:
The latest prescription that has
come to my attention is a panacea
for the ills occasioned by the damn
able and audacious Jim Crow car.
As curative for this Southern
malady they would have the colored
people furnish and provide their
own means of transportation. That
is to say. the negro. in order to
travel on common carriers in de-
cency and above cattle accomoda-
tion, must dig down in his jeans
and cough up stipends sufficient to
procure concession from the same
arteries of transportation which
draws the color line so tightly; that
We will buy their cars. keep them
to suit ourselves and travel on time.
too. "
A further scrutiny of this pas
quinade discloses that the social
physician states that racial discrim-
ination is the key to thrift and dill
igence-the pendulum which with
indiscrimJnate oscillation ticks to
the metre Of human progress and
measures in minutes and seconds the
ultimate goal to which all may sue
cessfully aspire. All of this sounds
nice, but the man of average INTEL
ligence knows 1t to be unfounded.
Drawing the color line has never
added anything to mankind but
strife. misery and confusion. Dis
elimination on account of race. COL
or. creed or religion is contrary to
all laws-human or Divine, and
therefore cannot be said to con-
tribute one iota to the happiness,
tranquility and prosperity of the
defendants of Adam. No form OF in
Justice has ever benefited man ma
terially.
To eondone the white mans eva
sion of the law. by entering a com
promise under the disguise of racial
enterprise, Is the height of folly.
Taking for granted that We have a
hundred cars-where IL the engine?
over whose tracks will they run?
