The nation is threatened with
very serious situation caused by the
strike order of the leading unions
of railway employees. With mil
lions of men already unemployed
the addition of two million more to
the number will be most calamitous.
The strike order was voted because
of the recent ruling of the United
States Railroad Labor Board reduc-
ing the wages of railway workers IL
percent and the declared intention
of the railroad executives to seek
in such cases both the executives
and the employees are determined
and justice is somewhere between
TIE e~trene claims of each party.
But az time Ike this the interests
of the public are paramount. A
spirit of Justice and ratriotism
should dictate to both owners and
operatives liberal concessions and
compromises. But in any event the
common veal of the nation must
dictate the course to be pursued
II necessary, the iron hand of the
national government should inter
vene to avert the threatened dis
aster. Public sentiment would sup
port such a course. even II it we're
necessary for the Federal govern
ment to take over the operation Of
the railroads for the time being In
the warfare between labor and
capital the rights OF the non-com-
batants must be respected.

SIN YEARS BEHIND

D.. A candidate for Office is in hard
lines when he attempts to use the
alleged shortcomings of his prede-
, cessor, against whom he is not now
running. as campaign arguments in
his favor. Unfortunately. for him.
Judge Slack is not now running
against Judge Birkhead. Neither
can he consistently draw the names
OF other former judges Of the dis
trict into this fight. The present
Republican candidate for Circuit
/ Judge, is claiming great credit for
having selected an equal number of
jury commissioners from each par
I ~. Whether or not these officers
are selected on that basis is i'm
material. They never have an OPP
I pUrtunity to act any way but fairly
and there has never in the past been
such an imputation. Does Judge
Slack now mean to throw such as
pensions on the memory of the jur-
lists who have preceded him as
Judge of the Sixth Judicial District?
-,
The Hartford Republican also
seeks a crumb of comfort for its
candidate for Circuit Judge from
the alleged slightly better percent
age of affirmaHces in the Court of
Appeals Of his decisions than was
shown by his immediate predeces-
sor, Judge Birkhead. However, as
was to be expected, our editorial
friend overlooked the fact that con-
ditions have materially changed in
the realm OF litigation in the cir
cult courts and that the burden of
he circui5 Judge has been materially
lightened within the last six years.
Changes in our laws of procedure
have greatly simplified the task of
the judge both as 10 the number
and nature of suits, thus materially
iessening the chance of error. Ger
tainly we should have progress and
substantial progress in the conduct
Of the courts as well as in other
lines. 4 comparison of merit has
value only when the standard of
comparison is perfection. A fifty
per cent efficient officer is in a poor
position when his only defense of
his poor record is the claim that the
record Of predecessor may have
been worse. Half-time efficiency
speaks for itself.

FEW DEMOCRATS ID. AGREE ID IMPORT. DUTY ON COTTON.
Administration Known to 2 Have Tentatively Post poned Indefinitely Ac-

By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-HeraId
 800 Dayidson Ruildiur

Washington, october 6.-CSpecial.) Officers of various cotton associa- ! tions. who insist that democrats sup port provision of the permanent tariff bill providing for an import duty on cotton, have made little prog ress, it is learned today.
 The great majority of democrats oppose q protective tariff on princi- pie, and so opposing, will not yield in a respect solely for the selfish gain of themselves. or their constituents. In the emergency tariff fight certain democrats flickered and voted with the republicans. There is no ques- tion, however but that they have learned a lesson.
 As to whether or not a tariff fight Is imminent, seems to be uncertain. 1 In conflict with every indicatlon and with the views of other statesmen who have expressed themselves. Sem stor Penrose declares that there is no disposition on the part of repub- lican leaders to postpone the enact ment of the permanent tariff bill.
 Indefinitely Postponed
 At the same time, it is known that the administration has tenta lively agreed to postpone indefinitely ac tion on the tariff. The Postmaster General, Will Hays, has declared the 1 time unripe for tariff Legislation. It is known that this view is held by tariff experts in both great parties. It is known also that in the pro- gramme of legislation to be enacted prior to possible adjournment No | vember II, the tariff is not included. Furthermore, Representative Mon dell, republican leader of the House, in announcing a House programme for the ensuing two weeks, included a proposal to extend the life of the emergency tariff bill in lieu of the failure to enact the permanent meas ure. Senator Penrose Is a powerful republican, though some observers contend that he is not as powerful as "once upon time" But were he as powerful as prior to the develop ment of certain dependent spirits, 1t is recalled that sometime ago he gave

 Not to Win Democrats
 But if the bill is brought up for passage in the very near future, 1t will not wean from their political moorings many members of the dem- ocratlc party.
 Some time ago J. g. Wanamaker of South Carolina. president of the American Cotton association, ap- pealed to Representative Fred Dom mick of South Carolina to support 20 per cent Import duty of long sta pie cotton. It was understood that a similar appeal had been addressed to all other members of-the delega- ton, and probably to all other mem bers of Congress from southern states. Mir. Dominick declined to act In accordance with the request. His declinatlon was published. That of no other. member was published.
 But it develops from unofficial in- tervlews that democrats. either in the House or Senate. will not support a proposition protecting their own products while demanding that others refrain from protecting what the constituents of others prodV ee.

AUTO HITS REAR OF
HENRY REINAR'S WAGON.

Thursday morning of last week, be-
tween l and 2 o'clock, as Henry Rel
was vending his way to Atlantic
City with a load of truck, his wagon
was hit a terrific blow in the rear by
an automobile going in the same di-
rection. He was still in the Pleasant
vile district and was driving the team,
while in the real of the wagon were
his grandson, Harry Arlan, and
Charles Naylor, boys of about IL years.
The boys were thrown out and Arlan
was badly cut about the left leg by
broken glass from the windshield,
while Naylor escaped with a shaking
up and a number of bruises. Arlan
was rushed to the Atlantic City Hos
pital, where he is still Under treat
ment. 1t is, indeed, a miracle that
both the boys were not more seriously
injured. Mr.. Reinar escaped without
injury, but his wagon was so badly
damaged as to require the expenditure
of $36 to repair it.
The automobile bore New Jersey
tag 191, 947, and contained two men
and two women. The men gave their
names as Diamnod and Kelly, and
stated that the former owned the car
and resided at SO N. North Carolina
avenue in Atlantic City. Mr.. Reinar
is of the opinion that the driver was
under the influence of liquor.
