Toa Finish. II at All.

1T is evident that if there is railroad strike,
i it will be fought to finish. The union leader
who said it would be won in seventy-two hours
overenthusiastic. Did he mean that he and his as
sociates could, that if they could, they would,
starve the people of this country to submission?
There is nothing except food which could be taken
from the people and effect any possible result in
three days. Would these men, if they could take
away milk from babies. and bread from children?
Certainly their own would have to suffer with the
rest.
If they would try to do this, they would be
beaten If they did not try to do this, they would
be beaten. Their paper victory cannot be trans
lated to fact. Moreover, if they had cause for
strike if they had case which warranted strike,
they would not have to strike to gain redress and
a square deal. The sympathes Of the public are
naturally with them; the preference goes to them
and they could not be subject to any very material
injustice without having compelling support for
relief
But today public opinion is against them. Even
their ranks not solid. Their leaders would
not venture to have vote on an actual walkout
There is not hint of weakness on the part of the
public. Even stocks that infaEble barometer, are
but slightly affected. Every city is preparing for
the worst They will be provisioned and ready and
all the unions could effect would be their COM
plete disorganization, if the strike is called and
weakened position in court, because of the depress
ing effect of the threat, if they do not strike
They are 100000 out of 100000 adults
They are the worlds highest paid labor. Fully
1000 900 other adults out of work. They have

grievances They have accepted the decisions of
this tribunal when in their favor They have had
full and fair hearings. They cannot reject what
they do not like, merely because not in their favor

ion, not by reason, but by force; not by showing

Roehe's DAY Of Faith.

A RTHUR SoMERS ROCHE. son of James
~ Jeffrey Roche, the Boston poet, has been
known in current literature for some time as the
writer of bangup, rapidaction mystery stories with
def plunges into the underworld and forays into the
social heights.
Yet in great allegory called The Day OF
Faith" Roche, with his theme my Neighbor Is
Perfect" has inspired the governor of Arkansas to
declare November I Day of Faith and to en-
join all good citizens to acknowledge the rights and
virtues of their neighbors, whatsoever be their
nation, race or creed.
Roche indeed has struck welcome note with
his unique vision of universal day of faith dedi-
Gated to the heart of man. One wishes that the
philosophers simple faith could be translated
from the pages of the book into actuality.
We taught that is made in the image
of his Maker; yet even as the heart accepts that
mighty truth, the brain whispers to the hand the
false word, Impractical" and the sword flashes
from the ready sheath.
We must. not keep faith locked in the heart,
though were ashamed of it. Shall we travel
eternally the vicious circle that beginning in pre-
paraton ends in war, to begin again in new pre-
partitions? If we can have moment of univer-
sal faith who dares say that may not be extended
into eternity? }

Measure Of Wage.

PROFESSOR in the University of Minnesota,
n recently returned from Germany, says that
III laborers in the United States would follow the
example Of those in Germany and agree to lower
wages the cost of living would soon drop in pro-
portion." This leads the Labor World, of Duluth,
an organized labor publication, to express doubt
as to the conclusion, because, it says: Germany
j, not trust-ridden country. If the law of supply
and demand operates there as to wages, it applies
with equal force as to prices Almost everything
consumed in the home of the American worker is
controlled by monopoly
This is not good economic fodder to feed the
American working man. Trusts were born in Ger
MANY Her industrial growth was based trusts
Her system Of control of supply and demand was,
and is the model for other countries. Demand is
apportioned among her industries to regulate supply
Prices WERE and are more nearly controlled there
than in any other country and Brother SHINES is
che most notable living example OF personal mon
5poly OF a 'country's industries
The German gets the lowest wage of any
European worker. No one wants the American
wage Garner to come to the same even comparative
level Neither, we believe, should any American
advocate as does the Minnesota professor, that
wages should be lowered below the cost of living,
or in advance OF it. The Herald is, firm sup
porter OF the newer policy which came with the war
that wages should follow, not precede the reduced
cost of living
We believe that today one Of the most helpful
things this government could do In its program OF
finding work for the unemployed, would be to make
survey in ali the States and all the industries OF
the OF living ard the wage scale of the various
crafts, using maybe the year 1915 as the index.

Answers Truth Seeker.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
II understand correctly a state
ment made in a letter which recent
ly appeared in your columns,
Truth Seeker" is a name applied to
one of body OF students" who
read about other religions besides
the Christian religion.
Space will scarcely permit exam
lining all Of her references in a let
ter in these columns But let Us
examine several, with the assur-
ance that all OF them can be dis
posed of in like manner.
In the first place "Truth-Seeker'
amrms that, according to Genesis
1:s. 10. the earth was saturated
with moisture" Why such anirma-
ton when. by reference to the
passage, we tind II expressly stated
that the earth was dry? Suci
being the case the moistening pro-
cess referred to in chapter two Is
entirely in keeping with the condi-
lions stated in the FIRST chapter
'Truth-Seeker" no doubt realizes
that the face of the ground" has
been dry" and ''wateredr from time
to time repeatedly since then.
| Truth Seeker" furthermore ex.
presses surprise that although man
is made lord of the whole earth
Adam is placed in the Garden OF
Eden Ito dress IT and keep it." IN
liz not well to consider that in the
FIRST case man Is told to "multipIy'
before subduing the earth, etc.
Since multiplying as Adam was in
structed to do, man has certainly
gone far toward subduing the vhoIt
earth. $780,
Then. too. "Truth-Seeker." grow.
ing facetious, remarks that Adam
was so hard to please, he was not
satisfied with giraffe. turkey-buz-
zard, or anything God had made,
whereupon he made woman. In the
first place, think IL will be found
that the Bible does not state that
Adam was not satisfied. The state
ment is that for Adam there was
not. found an help meet for him.
There might be some question,
therefore, as to whether this con-
clusion was reached by Adam or by
God Himself. Anyway. supposing,
as Truth does. that Adam
realized his need of a being similar
to himself, as an help meet for him
in preference to a giraffe or q
turkey buzzard, is he to be blamed
or commended for this? Some how,
since the time of Adam, mankind
has shown this same remarkable
tendency: and while man has been
accused very often OF being hard
to please 1 do not recall ever having
heard before his decided preference

mails mentioned Cor others for that
matter) advanced - ground for
such charge. e..
Let us fere consider but one other
set cf references given; and this,
by the way, is the only one which
''Truth-Seeker" has pointed out
which in reality might prove some
what perplexing. II is rather gem
orally known that the Bible was
not originally written in English,
having to be translated from other
Languages. This being the case. II
