TOO MUCH COMPETITION.

Since 1t is the purpose Of the govern
ment to get out OF the shipping BUSH
ness as speedily as possible, the action
of the Shipping Board in withdrawing
from the Hamburg and Bremen SER
vices may fairly be taken as definite
step In this direction.
Private owners have been complain
ing bitterly of Shipping Board com
petition. The government is in a DO.
sition TO make rates and take losses
that would bankrupt them. The situa
ton as regards the transatlantic ser.
vice has not been so unsatisfactory as
the situation AS regards the West In
dian and intercoastal service. Yet

GOVERNMENT OPERATION.


Whatever inclination tho admins
tration may have had to take over the
railroads and the mines as a last re-
sort. it was plainly only temporary.
In such emergencies there In always
a temptation to put the authority OF
tho government into operation by taxi
ing over the business. That was the
temptation to which the Wilson adj
ministration yielded when the rail-
and when, II ever, there would be
rational grounds for II. That ex-
perience. the consequences OF which
are still making drafts on the public
treasury, opened the eyes of the peo-
pie TO the fact that the government
is not success In such undertakings.
The relation of poor results of private
operation to the best results of gov
eminent operation proved TO be about
the relation OF the frying pan to the
fire.
1t would be one thing for the gov
eminent to take over the railroads and
the coal mines and another TO settle
the present strikes thereby. II shop
men defled the verdict of the Gov
eminent Labor Board In July. there
would be little certainty of their ac-
cepting the DEGREES of government

SOLDIERS AND THE BONUS.

1t has been generally assumed that
those who served In the U. 8. army
during the World War arc overwhelm-
ingly in favor OF the Soldiers Bonus
bill which the Congress IL expected
TO send to President Harding this
week. But there is ample evidence
thar such 10 not the fact and that
many good soldiers especially those
who saw arduous service on foreign
battle fields. do not regard the bonus
proposition with favor.
Among soldiers who oppose the
Bonus bill ie United States Senator
David Reed Of Pennsylvania, recent

OF Senator W. A. Crow, and who Is

II was in opposition to the Bonus bill
and was so good and forceful tina,

friends and enemies OF the proposition
But the comment was not all unfa.
vorable. even from many old soldiers
as Senator Reed said afterwards. az
follows:
You would be surprised at the
character OF correspondence which
has come 10 me relative TO my
stand on the bonus. Discounting
all letters from friends. I have had
hundreds OF letters commencing
my stand and a great many OF
them were from former service

THE CAR CRIPPLERS.

Unless Federal and State officials
act with speed and decision and give
immediate, zealand extraordinary pro
lection to railroad rolling stock. IL
won't matter greatly whether or not
the hard coal strike is settled i'm
mediately. Furthermore, It won't be
long till the soft coal miners will be
playing cards again on the store
porches In mining villages.
Unless this protection is given
there Will be no coal cars. These cars
are being crippled-willfully, deliber-
ately and maliciously crippled-at the
rate OF 1000 in SO hours. Brake beams
are being loosened. airhose cut, coup
iinss broken and journal boxes tam
pered with in scores Of rail yards and
on lonely sidings. The derailing OF
loaded coal cars has become an every
day thing. Sometimes cars and coal
are burned. sometimes not.
On the Southern. $4,000 cars OF coal
are being held up because every fifth
car 5000 of them. has been rendered
unserviceable. On the Louisville and
Nashville. 1870 cars were crippled
within "a hours. The Illinois Central
and other lines coming into the ST.
Louis gateway from the South are
having much the same experience
Inere is deliberate campaign on the
part or the railshop strikers to dam

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.

In tom Jones" the test OF a true
lady" is her treatment OF animals, and
from that day TIL now England has
been jealous. in making that treatment
kind. But THE twentieth century draws
1t somewhat finer. A true lady adver-
tlsed in The London Times the other
day for a butcher who could satisfy
her that he sold only the meat Of
animals humanely killed Not long
ago the English press was full Of the
subject of performing animals and
the cruelty of their training. and Par

late such shows. Now comes a letter
