The Fourth and the Ladies.

On the day after the signing OF the
Declaration of Independence JOHN
ADAMS, whose wonderful earnestness
and debating power had put through
the document drawn by the intellec-
tual JEFFERSON, sent copy OF the
immortal paper to a woman friend,
POLLY PALMER. With it went a letter
in which he said
IT will inclose to you a Declara-
ton In which all America is most
remarkably united. 1t COM
pleats a Revolution which will make
as good figure in the History of
Nations as any that has preceded 1t
provided always that the Ladies
take Care to record the Circum-
stances of it. for by the Experience
have had of the other Sex they
are either too lazy or too active to
commemorate it"
What a prophet was the blunt
Massachusetts lawyer! To-day, LAG
years after the Declaration and
ninety-six years after ApAMs's death
for he and JEFFERSON both passed
away on July 4, 1S26-it is easy to
see why ADAMS relied on the Ladies.
Who teaches the young American
what the Fourth stands for? Who
patiently assists him as he stumbles
through his"first reading of the Dec.
laration? 1t isn't his father. It's
his. mother or his school teacher.
Who knows where to find the Flae
on the morning of the Fourth? Not
Father; he has trouble enough tc
find his collars. But Mother knows
that the Flag was reverently put in
the cedar chest on the evening OF
Decoration Day.
Who gets an early breakfast fol
the. youngsters who are going out to
shake the morning sky with theiI
small artillery? Not Father; he Is
either trying to sleep or digging
angleworms. It's untiring Mother.
Who binds the wounds of the
young patriots and tells them that
the men of the Revolution suffered
much worse injuries without whim'
per? Not Father; he is wondering
whether the bass are near enough
the surface to take plug. Mother
is the nurse; that's her business.
Who spends hours making ice
cream and cake and preparing the
feast that every American child as.
sociates with the Fourth? Not Father;
his mind is on drives, hazards and
puts. It's Mothers job.
Mother may not make the speech
in the village square, but 1t is she
who drives home into the youns
heart all the Joy and glory of the Day
We Celebrate.
The Fourth Of July, JOHN ADAMS
said, "ought to be solemnized with
pornp and parade, with shows, games
sports, bells, bonfires and illumina
tions, from one end of this conti
nent to the other. from this time for.
ward forevermore."
Rest content, JOHN ADAMS! 1t has
been, It is and it will be so cele.
brated. For, as you hoped, "tht

cumstances of II"

To THE New York HERALD: Mr.. Ash

Of supreme interest in his letter on un-

When man does meet woman of

I believe the fault lies with this ma

A woman will give her love, loyalty,

The Bonus Vote Killer.

AS vote getter for candidates in
close straits at the primaries the Nc
Cumber bonus scheme now seems to
be appraised by the United States
Senate at about the same value
as the voters of North Dakota ap-
praised PORTER j. McCUMBER himself
after his desperate attempt to raid
the national Treasury. A bonus raid
that carries elections is statesman
ship; a bonus raid that loses cleo
tions is suicide.
There were numerous Senators as
ready to go the limit as MCCUMBER
was in overburdening the taxpayers
so long as they believed there were
enough American Legion votes in IT.
to take care of them at the polls. But
to that intellectual and moral type Of
public representative the bonus raid
looks as good as poison when he
finds that every time the thing is put
to popular test in we'll contested
campaign it doesn't help bonus can
didate but kills him.
Five billions of dollars shovelled
out of the taxpayers to carry cleo
tions for the bonus statesmen did NOT
cause any of them to lose wink OF
sleep, but economizing with the pub
lies money takes on big merit when
to slather 1t on bonus schemes as on
anything else that is indefensible
means defeat at the primaries and
the elections.
Senator MCCUMBER, in explaining
the cause of his defeat, puts it on
the ground, in the last analysis, that
he did not get the votes. That's it.
He did not get the bonus votes he
bargained for. He could not get the
votes of the American citizens who
despise politicians that go hunting
for votes on any terms they can get
them.
Senator CAPpER, who has been one
of tbs hottest hackers of the bonus
raid, may come around to see the
personal danger of playing longer
with that deadly fire. In his latest
signed article in the farm paper
which he owns he says:
The Government must get down
to the economy basis of a private
business in hard times. And that
means looking into every expense ac-
count. also cutting to the bone.
ut may be necessary to invent
new taxes to meet the Government
EXPENSE account and half billion
dollars deficit in revenue in the fiscal
year beginning July l."
Yet Senator CAPPER was ready be.
fore the defeat of McCuAfRER, maybe
will again be ready at the next crack
of the lash of the bonus lobby, tc
take still another vast gouge out o'
the taxpayers to the amount OF fivt
billions of dollars for the shameless;
bonus raid.
But IL Senator CAprER, while
preaching rigid national economy
does help to raid the Treasury fol
the brazen bonus iniquity, his be
trayal OF the country will cost hin
more votes by far from the American
people than it will gain for him from
the bonus grabbers.

Bert M. JEWELS Notification.

BERT M. JEWEL. who is leading the
strike of the railroad shop workers
| in defiance OF the decision and or
Gers of the United States Railroad
| Labor Board, is not of the great
railway brotherhoods, the engineers,
firemen, conductors and trainmen
who operate the roads. He is part
and parcel of tho American Fedora
ton of Labor and a worthy product
Of that Sam Gompers school assum-
ing it has the right and arrogating
to itself the power to decide laws. to
disregard the courts and to, overrule
the American peoples Government,
State or Federal
Entirely in keeping with the teach
ings of the Gompers school, BERT M.
JEWELL. in the matter of the shop
workers strike explains that he has
automatically divested the United
States Railroad Labor Board OF all
.he functions, duties and authority
imposed and enjoined upon it by the
laws of the United States Govern
ment. BY his reasoning and through
his conduct such a personal achieve
ment over the majesty of the Gov
ernment and the power of the ma
ton by BERT nj. JEWELL became SIM
plieity itself. AS the national trans
portation law is intended to. give the
United States Railroad Labor Board
the boards authority ceased the in
stant the shop workers ceased, by
order Of BERT M. JEWELL, to be rail-
way employees.
When BERT NJ. JEWELL called the
shopmen's strike, in other words,
and the shopmen went out, he nulli
fed the United States Labor Boards
writ from the United States Govern
ment to decide the wage scales and
working conditions of the railway
shop unions. BERT M. JEWELL by
that simple act of supreme sover-
eighty voided all the functions and
powers vested in the board by the
United States Government. BERT
NJ. Jewell obliterated, in effect, the
United States Governments creation
of its United States Railroad Labor
Board. BERT M. JEWELL just snuffed
cut all railroad authority, indeed, but
his own.
There being no more United States
Railroad Labor Board so far as con-
Germs BERT M. JEWELL and the rail-
way shop workers unions, the only
persons or officials or agency with
which he will now deal in this mat
ter are the railroads. Not having ex-
plunged them as he has expunged the
arm of the United States Government
known as the United States Railroad
Labor Board, BERT M. JEWELL is still
pleased to recognize them as in ex-
! istence.
| Beyond doubt great numbers Of
American citizens are wondering this
morning whether the shop workers
strike is going to be able to tie up
the country's railroads. But to dead
certainty vastly greater numbers Of
American citizens on this natal day
of the Declaration of American In
dependence are wondering whether
BERT M. JEWELL is going to be al
lowed to tie up, at his own sweet
will, the Government of the United
States.

COMMISSION IS
WITHOUT POWER
BURRDECLARES
Cannot Order Through
Service Between
New Orleans and
Jacksonville.

Inauguration of a through train serv-
ice from New Orleans to Jacksonville.
which Pensacola and West Florida has
been contending for, may not be pos
sible this winter, though West Florida
interests are now working in an en-
deavor to bring it about. This fast
service will divert travel that now goes
around by Montgomery through Florida,
and the residents Of West Florida feel
that they are entitled to this service
from the seaboard and Louisville and
Nashville railroads.
According to a communication from
the Florida Railroad Commission, that
body cannot order the service inaug-
urated on account of it being an inter-
state service. The communication from
r. Hudson Burr, chairman of the rail-
road commission, says:
Briefly stated. I beg to advise that
| the state commission, as far back as
ten or twelve years ago, tried to con-
vince the Seaboard and L. & N. that
| 1T would pay to put on a limited train
from Jacksonville to New Orleans. in
addition to the two trains they now run.
Both lines were opposed to the PROPOSE
ton at the time, but after continued
handling prior to the war, the Seaboard
Air Line became convinced that such
service would be remunerative to them,
because they found out they were los
ing lot of through business, Jackson
vile to New Orleans, via A. c. L.
through Montgomery. At a joint con-
ference in our office with the Seaboard
Air Line and Louisville and Nashville
an agreement was reached with both
lines whereby they would inaugurate
this service in the fall of 1914, but in the
meantime war commenced in Europe,
and for the first six months Of the war
all railroad business went to pot in the
United States, so that when the fall
time arrived we again had a conference
with regard to the matter and the Sea-
board Air Line stated that although the
business had gone back on them they
had promised this service and would be
willing to carry it out in conjunction
with the L. & N, but the L. & N. abb
solutely declined in view of the then ex-
listing conditions to operate the through
service.
again during government control we
made repeated efforts to get this serv-
| ice iuaugurated, but both the J.. &c N.
and the government administration were
against the inauguration of it. Since
the return of the carriers to private con-
troll conditions have not reached normal
with the rail lines and they have not
fclt willing to inaugurate this service.
However, this commission still has hope
that as conditions grow better we will
| be able to convince these two railroads
to put on this service.
''Now as to what the state commits
sion can require. The service referred
| to is an operation in interstate COM
merce, over which this state, the state
| of Alabama nor Louisiana has no juris-
diction, and therefore, are without pow
