Needed, One Resignation.

president HARDING has one member of
/ his more distant official family whose resig-
nation should be demanded at once. This one is
John ]. Tigert, commissioner of education. Tigert
has talked great deal since. taking office, it does
not appear that he has done much else, and he has
talked with increasing evidence of his unftness for
his office. He has not advanced construc-
tive idea Of educational value.
The latest occasion taken to display his unfit
mess was at the Middlesex County Teachers AS
ISOLATION at Boston. He charged that this govern
ment sacrificed the lives of the young men of its
army by sending illiterates against educated Ger
mans. 1--WE paid them" he said, $50 month and
told them we were fighting to make the world
safe tor democracy. We went in against old Ger
mans with young men and young men in the
Argonne gave up their lives in the ratio of three
or four to one Why? Because the Germans had
more education and everyone who fought knows it"
The who said this heads this govern
ment's Bureau of Education. He is the official ma
tiona representative of education. Entirely aside
from text book information, the American soldier
ranked first in intelligence in individual ability in
initiative and in that personal courage which is
based always on a right cause. Maybe mot one
in 5000 in the German army could not read and
WRITE" but they proved this did not help them
fight. They lacked the moral stamina and con-
boys, that from the day of St. Mihiel they did
not stop in their advance.
They had opposed to them the pick of the
German army a machine, but not once did it
withstand the attack. If this man Tigert who be-
trays his pro-senments, knew the simplest facts of
war, he would know that the losses of the at
lacking force always much heavier than those
of the defense. This especially true in the
Argonne, which nature made an almost impreg-
nabe fortress, which the Germans and their text
books failed to hold
Tigert insults his government; he insults the
American army; he insults the intelligence of the
American people. From the day of his appoint
ment he has gone from bad to worse. He lacks
the qualifications the personality, the technical in
formation, the constructive ability and the mental
breadth needed in his office. His should be one of
the most important offices of the government;
especially at this period in the development of
educational methods, organization and unity of
system. The position demands one of the country's
greatest educators; it should not have Tigert.

Lun After the Tempest.

NOV THAT it is all over, the House has dis
Y covered that Representative Blanton is not
such a horrible creature after all. He has apollo
gized and the House seems relieved that nothing
more done than to give him a spanking and
throw into him bit of the fear of the Lord. Blan-
ton is far from bad man, unfit to sit within the
pave the future habitat of the unsaved, has an
overdose o. personal courage and like dose of
his standard Of integrity.
His real offense is that he has been just plain
and perpetual nuisance. He has cost the people
thousands of dollars print what he has talked to
no specific use or object. He should have been
squelched long ago. not for what he is, but for
what he has tried to make believe himself to be-
In the immediate instance his only offense was
an exaggerated display of horribly bad clothed
in his usual good intention and self-exploitation
We have not seen the affidavit said to be so obscene
which he had printed in the Record. 1t undoubted-
ly was far awful than the things two other
members called each other a few days ago and
which were caught by the censor before publica-
ton. But this affidavit is supposed to have re-
corded an actual occurrence in the Public Printing
Bureau. The cause of the occurrence is of no
importance, but the affidavit which so nearly lost
Mr. Blanton his seat surely should lose the original
or several of them job
In all the debate nothing was said of the con-
dition which Mr.. Blanton uncovered and it will
occur to those on the sidelines that the far more
important offense was disclosed in the affidavit it
self rather than in its publication. Incidentally it
might be well to have an editor of that ancient
publication yclept the Congressional Record

Railroad Labor Board.

NNE RESULT of the railroad strike which did
not strike, will, it seems, be revision of
: the law which provides for the Railroad
Labor Board. This should result, and two sugges-
,tons said to be under consideration, should be
adopted. The board should no, be tri-party body
Most Of its mistakes probably due to this
feature Of its personnel. There is no more reason
the employers and employees being represented
what is court to hear and decide to their
differences, than that the plaintiffs and defendants
Should be similarly represented in civil courts
They are partisans In the hearings they quite
naturally and possibly rather unconsciously aid the
cases of those they represent and almost inevitably
interfere with the expedition of the work and
prompt decision. The board certainly should be
wholly neutral, and independent of either side 1t
does not need expert advisors of its number, any
more than a civil court Judge needs technical
knowledge of matters in cases brought for his de-
cision. Every of affairs has sufficient knowI-
edge of railroad organization and of labor relations
to form a right judgment from the evidence and
arguments presented. If not courts are
wrongly organized.
The board, also, should be an integral part of
the Interstate Commerce Commission. The same
Organization which fixes income should regulate
this large element of If the commission is to
consider the cost of operation in regulating trans
portaton rates, it clearly should control the labor
at the same time the board raised labor costs or
vice versa. In so far costs of operation and in
come from operation placed under government
control, this certainly should be the duty of
single body.
But another suggestion should be rejected. II
is proposed to put teeth" into the act by giving
authority to enforce obedience of decisions in wage
disputes. The only authority the board needs is to
hear evidence under oath, to summons witnesses
and to compel the production of books and records
The en- forcement of decisions can safely be left to
public opinion. Labor represents men. Men must
have the right to work when, for whom and at
what wage they choose. If refused the right to
strike, they will take vacations. If ordered to work
for a certain wage, compulsion is slavery. The
right to work quit work. under any specific con-
ditions is inalienable right of which Americans
must not be deprived.
No compulsion should be undertaken. Injunc-
hon should not be attempted; it should stop this
side of purely labor disputes. This present case is
sufficient evidence that the labor board does not
need any such authority and should not have it
If its decisions right which they will be the
apt to be, if not enforceable BY court process
the public will do the rest.
