The economic reasoning of the Pc
riod Immediately following the armis-
tice seemed to be based on the as
sumption that the greater the wages
paid and the more people employed
and paid to do each job, the greater
would be the general purchasing pow
er. and hence prosperity would ensuIr
the nation. The maximum of human
wants was to be supplied by mini
mum of effort and output on the part
of every one. For few months eV-
erything moved at top speed as a re-
suit of the apparent working or TINS
attractive economic theory, but final
" production cost overlook purchas-
ing power and the bubble burst. We
are now paying the penalty for our
attempt to set aside the lessons Of
past experience.

Announcement is made that under
arrangements between Great Britain
and the United States treasury, the
former has paid at the New York fed
eral reserve bank, 25.00O,OOO on ac-
count of principal and interest of the
first installment of a special loan of
S122,e00,OOO owed to the United States
by Great Britain, for purchases of sill
yer during the war under the Putnam
act This is a good beginning. Both
France and England have begun to
liauidate their Indebtedness to this
country and there seems no reason to
think they will not keep it up. Eng
lands treasury operations are show
ing a good balance on the right side OF
the ledger. If We can collect enough
debts we may, in time, be able to
make ends meet. It would be a well
come situation when the treasury
ceases to Sell certificates bearing q
high rate of interest.

THE FOURTH ELEMENT.

A new element has come into the
discussion of the railroad problem and
is demanding a hearing. 1t is that of
the security owners, the men who
have furnished the money to build
and equip the roads, the holders of
the stocks and bonds.
In the public mind the contest in
railroad wage disputes has been I'M
derstood to affect only the public, the
railroad management, and the wage
earners. The effect upon the public,
if adverse, has been in the nature Of
inconvenience and physical suffering.
A new element for the, wage earners
to consider is the financial distress
caused to these security owners. 1t is
we'll for the labor organizations to
consider that while there are 2,000,-
900 employees, there are 100000 to
SO, 000,0 900 security owners who are
suffering from the abnormal situation
which has been created thru labor's
absorption of 10 per cent of every dol
lar received and which has resulted
in the railroads being run at a heavy
loss.
The Pennsylvania railroad company
has asked it's men to accept a wage
reduction, and gives three or four
compelling reasons. One Of these is
that in February it cost the Pennsyl-
vania railroad $1.O5 to take in $40
without considering taxes, interest on
debt, etc. 1t stated that on the 18th
Of March, 1854 freight cars, 35 per
cent of all those owned by the sys-
! tenn, were idle and were not earning a
cent. Further. that without providing
for any dividends whatsoever, the
Pennsylvania railroad lost $1,600,71O
in December, $4,000, 0eO in January
sS,50o,000 in February, and that
| March figures would be as bad.
Millions of savings bank depositors
and holders of life insurance policies
are interested in the prosperity of the
railroads. One life insurance com.
pany holds the New York Contra
railroad securities to the extent Of
Y $23, 900, 900 par value. and holds mort
cages, etc, to the extent of $4,000, zoo
I against the real estate of the road.

CLASS RULE BARRED.

There is no real need Of the work
anteed him under the constitution fail
to give him means of meeting for
himself. If the constitution must be
overthrown, or the courts nullified, or
any other power of this republic Sc
aside in order that rich man or poor
man, employer or employe. shall have
his desire, that desire is evil.
The constitution guarantees TO
every citizen two ways of obtaining
redress for wrongs, fancied or real.
These lie thru the courts and the ball
lot box. No other route ever has
been found practicable. These facts
are commended to the thoughtful
his deluded followers.
Laws for the administration of
which courts are constituted are
framed by representatives of the peo-
pie and reflect the sentiment of a
majority of the citizens. In a gov
eminent constituted as is that of the
United States, popular sentiment is
supreme. When majority of the
people become convinced that a thing
is wrong the citizens arise in their
might and change it. but they do not
change it in the way advocated by
Howat and they never will. Neither
will they permit any class>or faction
to do so.
When the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor called
upon "the workers and all our people
to give their support, their effort and
their combined strength of righteous
purpose" to aiding labor's cause, it
voiced fine sentiment.
To that call not only the labor union
member, but the friend of labor every
where can respond. Very largely, too,
the friend of the toiler will respond
with appreciation, sympathy and hon
est effort in insuring justice to every
worker everywhere and at all times.
There never has been a day of the
worlds history, perhaps, when so
great a proportion of the human race
stood ready to make industrialism' s
welfare secure as is the case in this
hour.
But labor union members and nom
unionist alike, if sober thinking. will
demand that support and defense and
aggressive effort on behalf of the
toiler shall square with that plea for
1.-The combined strength Of righteous
purpose" Such a purpose does not
consider the overthrow of govern
ment, nor of the lawfully created in
would be. a transitory reform, which
depended only upon its power to de-
stroy what it opposed. without regard
to whether the destruction wrought
was lawful.

Dorothy Dix Talks
What Women Like.
BY DOROTHY DIX
worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

What Women Like.
A man wants to know what quality
women admire most in men.
Strength.
Strength of mind Strength of
body. Strength of will.
There isn't woman living who
doesn't fall for the cave man stuff,
and whose secret ideal isn't husband
who would beat her when he got an
cry if he didn't love her SO over
whelmingly.
If every woman could have her
hearts desire, she would be wooed
with a club by a determined gentle
man who would drag her by the hair
of her head to his BUNGALOW. and stop
her shrieks for the police with kisses.
That is why the bold lover always
wins out, while the humble worship
per gets left. There is just something
in the sight of a man signing at her
feet that fills a woman with an ire
sistible desire to kick him.
OF course, now and then, the meek
and 1owly sutton, who begs a woman
on Bonded knees to take him, instead
of having the nerve to grab her, does
get her, but it is only after she has
despaired of the love pirates coming
along.
Practically any man can get any
woman he wants if he has the
strength to do it, and goes after her
with a determination to make her love
him whether she wants to or not.
If he has strength, he has the CLAM
orous quality for her that overshad-
ows all of the virtues and most of the
social ten commandments.
1t is true that many women marry
weaklings. Witness the number of
misguided females who have married
men to reform them and who remain
faithful to poor, flabby creatures who
haven't an ounces of force in them,
physically or mentally.
This has made many men think that
the way to appeal to a woman is to
arouse her pity and throw themselves
upon her charity. They tell a woman
that she alone can save them; that
they cannot stand alone and need her
for a brace; that she must stand be-
they can never achieve anything in the
world without her aid.
Little do these men know that the
feeling that they arouse in a woman S
breast is merely maternal love. 1t is
not the love of. a woman for her mate,
but the love Of mother for a poor,
weak, wobbly child that hangs on to
her skirts, and that she has to hold
by the hand to steady. 1t may be a
very tender affection, very patient,
and compassionate, and long-suffer-
in it that would be vitrio1 on mans
heart if he realized it.
Women admire strength more than
any one quality in a man. They like
strength of body. That is why a big
brute of a fellow, who is without Gull
ture, or any of the finer graces of life,
will often succeed with women, where
a delicate, refined gentleman, who is
worth a dozen of him, fails.

The Railway Age publishes an arti-
Gle by J. L. Payne, formerly controller
OF statistics of the department of rail-
ways and canals of Canada, which
shows that with the same advances in
wages and rates in Canada as have
been made in the United States, not a
single one of the railways composing
the system owned by the Canadian
government earned its operating ex-
penses last year, and that the govern
ment system has incurred deficit per
capita which, applied to the popula-
ton of the United States. would be
equivalent to over $1,sOO. 100000 a
year. Owing to the excessive oper-
ating expenses and the unprecedented
decline of freight business. the rail-
ways of the United States have been
doing very badly financially since the
present freight and passenger rates
were fixed. Many persons have per-
suaded themselves and are trying to
