New Rail Strike Threat.

No more delicate and difficult in
dustrial situation ever was presented
in this country than that involved in
the reduction of the wages OF rail-
way workers. Great forbearance.
sympathy and understanding are
called for. and public opinion should
refrain from arriving at hasty judS-
ments. On both sides there are argu-
ments which, taken alone, seem TO be
convincing, and the most careful con-
sideration must be given them If in
justice is to be avoided.
1t IS the most natural thing in the
world that the railway workers shoul1
resist reductions in their wages. HUI
man nature is that way, and the time
has not come when it can be expected
that self-interest will be put aside for
sake OF the general good. The owners
of the railroads are not willing to do
1t, nor are the shippers whom the rail-
roads serve. So it would be unreason-
able to expect that the railroad work
ers should stand alone as a self-deny-
ing class.
The railroad workers will not accept
wage reductions willingly. and they
ought not to be expected to, unless it
can be shown that such reductions in
the long run will be TO their advan-
tage The reaSOnableness of the wage
advances which they received or the
methods by which they Were obtained
have little or nothing to do with it.
To get all that is to he had and TO hold
on to all that is gotten is the order
upon which human society is founded
If it is complained that the high levels
OF railway wages We're attained
through application of force. the fact
must not be lost sight of that 1t IS
through force it now is sought to re-
duce them-the force of public opinion
operating through the federal govern
ment.
Public opinion today has been
brought to believe that railway wages
are too high and ought to come down.
and 1t believes that with the increase
Of production which will result and
the lowering of prices which inevitably
will follow there will be no necessity
that the families of railway workers
shall lower their standards Of living.
1t is upon this assumption that the
Railway Labor Board has predicated
its latest wage rulings. and while the
labor representatives on that body dis
sent from it's findings public con-
f1dence in the fairness Of the board
remains unshaken.
The railway workers should ponder
long and earnestly before they decide
to reject the boards findings and re-
sort to the doubtful expediency of the
strike. They should not forget that
when the board granted wage in
creases the railroads abided and the
public approved-and paid. There was
no complaint then from the workers
that the board was unfair. and they
cannot afford now to be placed in the
position of men who insist upon play
ing the game: Heads 1 win, tails you
lose"

The Merchant Marine.

It is an eXaggeration to say that it
Is now or never with the American
merchant marine: that unless the
present opportunity is improved
America will never become a power
among the sea-carriers.
The present opportunity is so in
viting 1t partakes of the nature of a
command. Everything is set for the
Inauguration of what the people have
for years been discussing and desir-
ing. We have the ships. We feel the
spur as never before for an increased
and a large foreign trade. Our
growth and prosperity as nation de-
pend upon our getting into closer
trade relations with the outside world;
and that world is now taking a new
shape as the result of the war.
The President is whole-heartedly
supporting a merchant marine PROPOSE
ton. He will help to the extent Of his
influence. He already has helped by
several deliverances to make the sub
ject clear and persuasive.
Something this Congress and the re-
publican leaders of this day should
weigh fully is the fact that if they dc
not improve the present opportunity
The delinquency will stand against
them for all time. For in time, and
at no distant time, America. if denied
now, will have a merchant marine
adequate for the realization Of her
ambition to become a world-trader OF
the first class; and then those who
contributed toward keeping her out
Of her own so long will fare badly in
history.

triguing. The public is credulous-
too willing to accept insinuations OF
direct charges against men seeking
office and the means they employ in
their activities.
Money in sums much too large is
sometimes used. But. as has in sew.
eral cases been shown. the outlays
have grown out Of spectacular
methods Of campaigning, and not out
of plans and purposes to corrupt
voters. Where there are two parties
and the tussle Is warm for every inch
of the way, candidates and party man
ayers are put to it to get the issues
fully and influentially before the peo
pie.
When there is but one party and
elections go with a whoop and under
a label, only a moderate investment is
necessary. The stumper and his

HOW GOLFERS ARE HURT
Many Die When a Putt Was
Sunk From Off the Green
Player Hit by Bail Usually
Apologies to Hitter.

Chicago, May 26.-Injury of four
golfers by lightning at Calumet Coun-
try club yesterday, and the injury of
a spectator at the British amateur
championship at PreStWick the day
before, today brought from a veteran
follower of golf an estimation of the
casualties of the links. While no ex-
act statistics had been kept, reports
showed that most of the fatalities in
golf were due to lightning and heart
disease, while injuries were largely
due to impacts from flying golf balls,
altho broken clubs at times had hit
frequenterS of the links.
Owing to the open field of play
and the wide scattering of golfers on
the course, injuries of a serious ma
ture have been infrequent. In most
cases where flying ball hits some
one, the injury is seldom anything
more serious than a singing sensa-
ton and the Instructor of the ball has
even been known to be apologize for
interfering.
A player on the Jackson Park links
in Chicago, where hundreds play the
cOngested course every day, once ap-
preached a woman, whom his pulled
drive had hit, fearing her anger and
trying to frame an apology. He was
struck speechless when she turned to
him and exclaimed in sorrowful tones,
ON, I am so sorry I spoiled your
drive"
There have been some cases of
rather severe injuries on the same
course, one man losing his front teeth
and another an eye from driven balls
In another instance, a golfer using
knitted gloves on a cool day, let his
club slip and hits the ground. The
head flew off. sailed loo feet thru the
air and cut a cash in the forehead
of an unsuspecting player.
The large number of casualties
from lightning arise from players
seeking shelter under trees when
caught by an electrical storm, the tree
or the steel head clubs acting as a
lightning rod.
The comparatively numerous fatan-
ties from heart disease have been
found to be due to the fact that many
men of ripe years play golf as the one
exercise in the open that does not call
for fast work and they merely sue
cumb there because they have played
longer than their physical condition
warranted.
One wag ventured the opinion that
some of those who fell dead on the
putting greens were the victims of
fatal surprise when they saw a game
lost as their opponents sank a hor-
ripilating putt, or when a duffer him
self holed a long putt.

new GENERATING UNIT
Topeka Edison Company Has Big De-

There is being installed at the
power plant of the Topeka Edison
company a new generating unit of
1900 kiiowatt capacity. The new unit
has been made necessary by the in
creasing demand for industrial power
in Topeka.
The foundations of the unit, which
include a compound steam engine and
a direct-connected, alternating-cur-
rent generator, have been finished.
There are ten car loads of machinery
to the unit, which will occupy a space
forty-feet square in the plant.
The cylinder of the engine is fifty
four inches in diameter. One of the
pieces of the field, which stands
twelve feet high and is twenty feet
long, weighing some six or eight tons.

d DAYS A WEEK FOR EDITORS
Lord NorthcIiffe Decides on More Rest
for Evening Newspapcrmen.

London, May 26.-Lord Northcliffe
has announced that hereafter the edi-
tors of the Evening News, which in
clude the members of the staff who
would be termed copy readers on
an American newspaper, will work
only four days a week instead of five
as heretofore.
Since 1894" said Lord Northcliffe
when making the announcement, the
pace,in evening newspaper production
has been intensified and is going to
increase still further. Wireless tele-
phony is beginning and is going to af-
fact the publication of news"
The occasion was the retirement of
w. H. Evans, the editor-in-chief of
the Evening News, who has been for
twenty-eight years on, one or another
of Lord Northcliffe'S papers. Lord
Northcliffe gave him a banquet, pre-
sented him with a check for f10, 900
and awarded him a pension of $500
a year for the next ten years and
afterwards, for the remainder of his
life, pension of 900 a year.
According to the testimony of news
paper men who have worked on both
New York and London afternoon
newspapers. the work on the latter is
much the easier. The New York after
noon papers use on an average thrice
as much news as do their London
contemporaries and do much harder
hustling to get it.
