RECORD D-BREAKlNG NUMBER OF
IDLE FREIGHT CARS.

On the first of this month the net
surplus of freight cars on all roads
in this country and three in Canada
was 530,909. This is the greatest num-
ber of idle cars in the history of
American railroading. This more than
half million of idle freight cars show
that the country is experiencing an
unusual business depression. In our
Judgment this business depression Is
largely due to the fact that prices
of commodities and wages in different
industries are out of joint. Farm prod
ucts and some other commodities
are down to pre-war levels, while the
prices Of many other commodities and
the wages in some industries are
still away up near the top round of
the ladder.
Last year when the prices of every
thing including wages were high, but
all comparatively on a level, the
country experienced it's greatest scar
city of freight cars. Business doomed
until prices in some lines commenced
to tumble and thereafter the business
barometer commenced to run down
and the bottom may not be reached
until all wages and prices get back
to somewhere near what they were
before the war When that time comes
business will commence to climb up
again and there will be use for all
the cars now owned by the railroad
and probably more.

NO SALES TAX

"There will be no sales tax I'M
posed by Congress" said House Re-
publican Leader Mondell last Satur-
day in disposing of rumors that the
tax was causing Republican dissen-
sion.
"There is to be a lifting OF war
burdens instead of shifting ne
continued.
"The sales tax does not belong to
the American system. 1t can be justi-
fled only as war tax"
This statement by Mr.. Mondell is
certainly good news. Not in recent
years has there been more Infamous
proposition than the attempt on the
part of predatory wealth to shift the
burden of taxation from it's excessive
profits to the shoulders of all the
people of America. The fact that such
detestable proposition could De
given serious consideration goes to
show what money can do in as intelli-
gent country as ours. The claim
is made, and it is probably true, that
millions have been spent by the men
who are charging and receiving ex-
cess profits to have such profits ex-
empted from taxation.

STEAL PEORIA WHISKY
Twenty-Five Gunmen Raid Dis
tiIIery; Get 200 Cases.
0verpoWer and Lock Five Watchmen
in Room-Load Loot on
TWO Trucks.

Peoria, ILL.,, April 20.--Twenty-five
men, armed with shotguns and pis-
tolls, swept down on the Corning dis
tillery in one of the most spectacular
raids in the history of Illinois, seized
200 cases of liquor and escaped.
The whisky, all in quart bottles,
was valued at $4,000.
Three United States government
watchmen, one prohibition agent and
a special railroad detective made a
vain attempt to fight off the raiders.
They were surrounded, captured and
locked in a room, while the robbers
carried cases and barrels of liquor out
to two motortrucks waiting at the
loading platform.
The daring Of the raid was respon-
sible for it's success. The distillery
employees had not yet reported for
work, but it was broad daylight when
the two trucks backed up to the plat
form and the raiders rushed the door
Of the shipping room. The govern
ment watchman inside the building
heard the noise. but did not suspect
that a raid was in prospect.
One Of the guards went to the ship
ping room to investigate. AS he
opened the door he was confronted
by 25 weapons and forced back into
the building.
The raiders bound him to an up
right in storage bin, then circulated
noiselessly through the distillery un-
til they had cut off all the watchmen
from the exits. Then, closing in, they
forced the remaining guards to throw
down their arms.

CIVIL SERVICE AND POLITICS

CIVIL SERVICE AND POLITICS
The Republicans at Washington are
marking time. They are in doubt about
how'to proceed. If they continue form
er President Wilson's policies and ap-
point the best qualified men regard
less of politics, to fill the several
offices subject to appointment, they
will keep in line with the Civil Ser
vice Law, and have the ardent sup
port of the advocates of Civil Service
reform. But Civil Service weakens
the hands ofthe president and strength
ems those of the congressman and
senators. The merit or civil service
system deprives the president, to a
considerable extent, of his patronage
club, and without the magic of that
club it is difficult sometimes for the
president to keep Congress in line
with his policies.
1t begins to look as though Presi-
dent Harding, if deprived of his full
appointing power, will experience the
same kind Of troubles in his dealings
with the Senate that former President
Wilson did.

MIR. WILSON GOES

Mr.. Wilson has left the White House,
a failure in the worlds sight, but
still a man who failed while trying
to do a noble thing, at time when
most of those about him were bent on
success in doing somewhat base
things A thrill of joy and pride, such
las never again, went through the
huge British army in France on the
day when the news spread that Ger
many had sued for peace on the basis
of Wilson's famous IA points. That
was the victory for which our armies
had fought. The IA points expressed
more nearly than any other utterance
of any allied statesmen the generous
passion which in 1914 had called Eng
,lishmen into the field faster than their
government could buy food and clothes
for them. In the IA points the one
honest attempt was made to turn in
to act the eloquenee which had drawn
hundreds of thousands of simple, en-
thusiastic persons to die willingly for
the ideals that it held up before them.
"The freedom of Europe" "The war
to end war; "The overthrow of mill
tarism." "The cause of civilization"
Most people believe so little now in
anything or anyone that they would
find it hard to understand the sim
plicity and intensity of faith with
which these phrases were taken, or
the gertrude felt by hundreds of thou
sands of men who are now dead that
if they were killed their monument
would be new Europe not soured
and soiled with the hates and greeds
of the old. And Wilson, alone among
the great men of Versailles, tried to
be faithful to them. He was not strong
enough to bring it off. But he tried.
Now that all the jaunty and rollick-
ing books that on-combatants wrote
in comfort about the war are over,
the things that the soldiers thought
begin to come out-in the poems OF
Wilfrid Owen, the bitter, disenchant-
ed prose of Stephen Graham, private
of the guard, and in the lament Of
General Sir Ian Hamilton: Fatal
Versailles" Not a line-not one line
in your treaty to show that those boys
(our dead in the war; had been any
better than the emperors; not one
line to stand for the kindliness Of
England; not one word to bring back
some memory Of the generosity of
her sons" Wilson tried to have it
otherwise. Had he had a persuasive
strength equal to his clarity of vision
.he might have dominated at Paris
the little crowd of postwar imitators
of pre-war Germany. But lack of
strength and skill is no slur upon
honor. At any rate he fought, to the
best Of his powers, for what the mass
of the British army fought for. If ever
he comes to Europe again, he, at any
rate, can face the grave of our I'm
known Warrior" in Westminster with
nothing to be ashamed of.-Manches-
ter Guardian.

HORRIBLE CONDITIONS IN IRE.
LAND

Civilized people the world over were
inexpressably shocked by the bar
barities of the Turks in Armenia and
the Germans in Belgium yet those
barbarities are being duplicated to a
quite large extent by the English
armies in Ireland at the present time.
In this connection it is no more than
justice to state that the large and
intelligent part of the people of Eng
land are opposed to the policy pur-
sued by their government in its at
tempt to crush the spirit Of Indepen-
dence in Ireland.
United States Senator Norris, Of
Nebraska, a member of the committee
of 100 which recently investigated
Irish conditions, introduced a joint
resolution in the Senate last Satur-
day which solemnly protests against
the cruel and inhuman treatment Of
the Irish people by British soldiers.
The Resolution reads:
Whereas, There is a state of war
existing between the government of
Great Britain and the people of Ire
land; and,
Whereas, The armed forces of
tai in in hov win
lated the laws of warfare as set
forth in The Hague convention of
1907, to which the government Of
the United States is signatory
power, in the following particulars:
Prisoners of war are not treat
ed as prisoners of the British gov
eminent, but as prisoners of the
individuals or corps that captured
them
2-Such prisoners are subjected to
cruel and inhuman treatment.
3-Prisoners are assassinated with
out excuse, or under the pretext that
they are attempting to escape.
4-The property of prisoners is con-
fiscated.
5-Prisoners, as well as noncom-
blatant civilians, are compelled by
military force to perform excessive
labor.
6-Irish nationals are forced to
take part in the operations Of war
against their own people.
Hostages are carried by the
British forces when engaged in war
operations.
S-Irish nationals are forced to
swear allegiance to the government
of the invading forces.

extreme torture to give information
about their forces.
