Real OlUners of RaillUays
Need a Union of Their OlUn

about the history of railroad stock,
that it has never been steady in its
values, that it rises and falls accord
ing to the bankers raids upon it.
Why, then, do the stockholders not
form a real organization, putting
men at the head who have the in
terest Of the stockholders at heart
and who are not camouflaged agents
of the bankers and the railroad
executives, pretending to represent
the stockholders in order to prevent
the stockholders from organizing to
represent themselves!
AS we have often said, the stock
holder is the most unfortunate of az.
those who are injured by railroad
wrecking.
He not only loses with the general
public in the increased cost of living
which results from the mismanage-
ment of the railroads, but he also
loses in the value of his stock.
The Esch- -Cummins law has failed
Private management has failed
again.
1t is time that the stockholders rec
ognize the glaring facts and organize
to protect themselves, being on their
guard against fake organizations
really in the interest of the bankers
and the railroad executives who ma
turally desire to continue to retain
the great emoluments and the po=
litical and economic power of their
offices which exist under private
management. I
It would not take a competent or
ganization of the railroad stock
holders more than a single session
of Congress to have Congress take
back the operation of the railroads.

William Athert0n Du Puy-

There is a flower store in Washington which
is proud of little ceremony which takes place
in it every day. Along about 8 o'clock the huge
form of elderly gentleman approaches its
counter and he says
Good evening. I would like to see some of
your flowers"
Thereupon the clerk sets out many vases of
many varieties of posies, takes especial pains
to place before the customer all his choice wares
Discriminatory this connoisseur examines them
turns them about apprasingly. Finally he
lects single flower and pulls 1T from among
its fellows.
"Shall l wrap II up for you, sir?" the clerk
asks unerringly.
NO, thank you" is the unchansing response
81 will give 1T the air"
So does the chief justice Of the Supreme Court
OF the United States, Edward Douglas white
select the daily tribute which he bears home to
his wife,
AS floor leader of the Republicans in the House
of Representatives Frank w. Mondeu is called
upon to meet many a situation in which rough
methods are necessary. To him and his asso-
ciates on the steering committee falls the
sponsbility of mapping out the program of work
and jamming 1T through.
Quite naturally there many men with spe-
cial enthusiasm for pet measures. They fight
hard for those measures. are likely to feel strong
ly and express themselves bitterly when they are
placed on the sidetrack.
1t is said OF Mr. MondelI that he meets these
situations with the firmness that is necessary,
accepts denunciation philosophicaly. Then. at
the end of the day, he sponges the slate. None of
the bitterness is carried over. On the morrow
he is as good friends to the man whom he has
steam -rollered and who has angrily resented il
as IL nothing had happened. To him 1t is
day.
Senator Charles L. McNary Of Oregon, who
was boyhood friend of Herbert Hoover, does
not like the newspapers He regrets that the
material which is printed in them Is selected from
the standpoint of the interest OF the reading
public and would establish some other standard.
1t would be particularly distastefui to him IL
his human side should be presented to the public.
If a newspaper man should come to you 1
asked him, and should want bit of a story that
offered encouragement to any ambitious Lad, or
should ask you for germ of philosophy that
might brighten a drab world, for the thing
in your heart that you felt might do folk most
good, and II he should offer to get your message
to 100000 readers, would you not consider that
he had given you an opportunity to accomplish
at least an educational purpose?
He said that he would not. He would refuse
to avail himself of the offer.

There is bound to be strong moral reaction in this
fine city against these pstocarrying, awdefyng gangs
and individuals The good citizens of the National Capital
cannot stand idly by and the moral standards of
community fall to the level of criminal bootleggers. A
high standard low standard must prevail The habtu

deliberate purpose of all good citizens to be that of up

No Hush Money!
For Colombia
THE proposition to pay $25,OOO,-
600 to Colombia for alleged vio-

N1AI plOpoolIioh W pay P-c.Ooo,'
600 to Colombia for alleged vio-
. lation of her rights to payment
for the Panama strip is no less Of
fensive, extravagant and indefensible
with the apology eliminated from
the measure than it was when it
still placed the United States in the
position of a self-confessed male
factor.
1t was the most notable service of
Theodore Roosevelt to the world that
he discerned in this situation the
opportunity to act swiftly and in
telligently and thus secure the Pana-
ma Canal for the worlds commerce.
Had the Colombian politicians who
are now pushing this demand for
hush money had their way, the
building of the canal would have
been indefinitely deferred. 1t might
not have been completed at the time
of the beginning of the world war,
in which event it would necessarily
have been abandoned until the close
of that contest, and ght not have
been in operation today.
All that Colombia could do to en-
compass such delay was done, and
done only in order that bigger por-
tion of graft might have been avail
able for the politicians then in con-
troll of her government.
1t is sheer impudence for that
country to come now demanding the
payment that she once refused. Pay
ment has been made, and honorably,
to the Republic of Panama, in which
sovereignty over the canal strip was
vested.
Senator Lodge, who now urges
this payment, was formerly strenu-
ously and outspokenly against it. His
sole argument today for thus raiding
the United States Treasury, which
has been tapped for the benefit of
pretty nearly every nation of the
world from Liberia north, is that it
will improve our standing in Latin
America.
And for how long will it improve
it' Just long enough for every
other Central American government
to cook up claim for few mil
lions on Uncle Sam and call on the
