Borah Catches a Tartar

Semenoff's answer to Senator
Borah is at least first cousin to the
retort courteous. To the Americans
charge of murder, brigandage, rob-
berry and about every other crime
the Russian replies with the counter
charge that his critic is Bolshevik.
Moreover, he demands the opportu-
nifty to be heard in his own defense.
There the matter rests.
Senator Borah has repute for
fearlessness. But he is also prudent
and careful. 1t is not by any means
certain that he would get the better
Of the argument in an exchange Of
amenities with the Siberian. Doubt
less Semenoff's activities were as
reprehensible as those Of any COM
mander Of Cossack troops in open
war. Doubtless he incurred the
wrath of certain Americans in ST.
IBERIA. But Senator Borah, who
would recognize Lenine Of the firing
squads and of church robbery, is
hardly one to be squeamish against
outrages. Nor can he deny that as
between the State Department and
the Bolsheviki he has invariably
sided with the latter.
Should Semenoff succeed in having
as much publicity turned upon his
attack on Borah as was given to
Borah's attack on him, the Senator
may learn that the support Of the
radicals in Amer Ca is costly.

What Readers Are Thinki7q

lofty eX-Servlce men, Snow Hills ex-
penses for the school year just closed
were kept down to $4,000. OF this
essential amount Mr.. Edwards has been
successful in raising S32 500; the bal

salaries due to his loyal faculty.
Teaching in Southern colored school
IS more devoted conservation than a
profession even when the modest SAL
aries are paid on time, and. the average
OF approximately 500 now owed to
the teachers at Snow Hill is distinct
hardship to them and tangible debt
which, believe, will be gladly paid
by those who understand the great

Justice Delehanty's decision re-
straining the city administration
from operating the crosstown bus
line in Sixty-ffth Street finds that
this Hylan-Whalen bus line costs
the taxpayers $4,000 a year and re-
turns no revenue, and violates the
city charter, the state constitution
and number of state statutes.
The line was established by Mayor
Hylan as cure for transit conees
ton. 1t did not serve even that
purpose, for transit congestion has
not been relieved by any of the bus
lines and cannot be relieved until
the Transit Commission plan.
which Mr. Hylan has continuously
opposed, can be put into operation.
None of the city's bus lines has
paid, but that has not deferred Mr..
Hylan from establishing them with
out authority to do so. He pre-
tended to believe that the bus lines
were superior to surface cars as
means of transportation and has
sought to create the impression that
they would return profit to the
city.
The fact that the surface cars
have carried 21.299,5 $50 passengers.

Reasons for Delav

There are several reasons which
make the passage of a permanent
tariff bill at this session of Conqrass
economically unnecessary and politi-
cally inadvisable. Senator Lodpe
has frankly faced these reasons in
ms statement advocating action on
the McCumber bill before adionrn-
meht. tie says, for instance: "The
fundamental conditions of all tari ff
Legislation to-day are entjre]v DIFF
1erent from what they were prior to
the war"
That is the gravest reason fo, do
lay The Republican national plat
form OF 1920 recognized it, saving:
Inc uncertain and unsettled condi-
tion or international balances. the
aohormal economic and trade situa-
ton Of the world and the irnoss;.
oiiity OF forecasting accurately even
ohe near future preclude the formu-
latlon OF definite program to meet
coholtions a year hence" There has
oeen no return yet to normalev in
world trade and world production.
Inc conditions precedent to per-
manent tariff revision which the
platform of 1920 had in view bavo
not been realized.
Congress passed an emerpencv
tariff, and under that ACT tho conr-
Try has been doing very we'll. Mr.
Lodge testities to this fact. He saws:
Under the emergency tariff our
trade is becoming more nearly nor
maj than that Of any other nation y

Last week the Interstate Com
merce Commission modified freight
rates SO as to reduce the earnings of
the railroads on the present volume
of traffic approximately $400, 900.
1t acted without any definite un-
derstanding that railroad wages
were to be reduced proportionately
by the Railroad Labor Board. The
unfortunate lack of coordination
between the two chief instrumental
ties of government regulation was
again unpleasantly emphasized.
But coordination is partially
achieved, if only by telepathy or CO.
incidence. The Railroad Labor
Board has issued an order cutting
the pay of maintenance of way en-
ployees by s5o,ooo,ooO 1t is ex-
pected to announce other labor cuts
amounting to 100000, 900. If these
ere made the wage scale of May,
1920, will be restored and the i'll
effects of the untimely and demor-
alizing imitation ordered by the
board two years ago will at last be
overcome.
The great increase of May, 1920,
came at time when defation was
beginning in the other industries. 1t
necessitated increases in railroad
rates, which should have been made
much earlier, to offset the wage in
crease. 1t thus set up in the trans
portatlon industry belated counter
movement to the trend toward pre-
war readjustment in all the other
industries.
government management of the
railroads during the war period was
series of blunders We are lust
working out from under that incu-
bus. Lower rates are desirable in
the public interest. But to secure
lower rates and keep the railroads
solvent 1t is necessary to equalize
railroad pay with pay in other in
dustries. The Railroad Labor Board
acted on the finding that the pay of
maintenance of way employees was
higher than that of similar labor
outside. But it is also able to report
that the purchasing power of the
new rate will be greater than that
Of the old rate when the latter was
established.
The Railroad Labor Board has re-
Gently shown a comprehensive grasp
OF the railroad situation so far as
the economic reorganization of the
roads is concerned. Government
regulation of both rates and wages
can succeed only if the two control
ling agencies work together con-
structively, keeping in mind that the
end OF regulation is to create q SOL
vent and highly efficient railroad
system, maintained on fair wage
basis and on a fair basis of return
to the actual owners.

Anti-Mexican Propaganda

1t is probably no mere coincidence
that stories of revolt against Presi-
dent Cbregon of Mexico are broad
cast to the American papers just
as the Mexican Secretary of the
Treasury arrives to discuss Mexico's
foreign debt The fate of the Obre-
gon government largely will be de-
termined by the results Of the COM
ing negotiations. Small wonder,
therefore, that Obregon's enemies,
both Mexican and American, seek to
discredit his administration.
Obregon has succeeded in preserv-
ing the peace in Mexico longer than
any of his predecessors since
Porfirio Diaz. This is an achieve
ment, even if it has been due not so
much to his own personal strength
as to combination Of circumstances,
foremost among which has been the
dearth of strong men to oppose him.
Among his opponents had there been
another Diaz--a Diaz with the
strength Of old Don Porhrio-who
knows what might have been the
fate of Obregon?
But the present Diaz who seeks to
oust Obregon has none of his uncle's
force and character. In Mexico he
passes as a soldier of fortune, with
three unsuccessful revolutions to his
dlscredit. 1t is likely that there
would not have been even one had
not his name in Mexico had some
thing of the glamour that Napoleon
HIS name had in France.
Perhaps the enemies Of President
Obregon who are trying to unite be-
hind General Felix Diaz may satisfy
their personal rancor and liberate
their temporary suppressed desire for
revolt. But they are not likely to be
Of particular help to their country.
Whether their propaganda be fact
or fiction, it can only create an un-
favorable attitude toward Mexico at
a time when all true friends of that
country should strive to build up
confidence
People have recently begun to for
get that the word Mexico used to be
synonymous with revolution. The
one hope for Mexico is that nothing
shall happen to resurrect this old
associa ton of ideas.

The Canny Penmen

What has bcome-to borrow the
favoritc approach of Citizen Ed Howe,
Of Atchison-of the ld-fashioned
writer who used to wait for inspra-
tion before turning out copy?
Successful American writer's seem
to be methodical. They may not carry
matters to such an extreme as the re-
nowned Italian poet Alheri. who
caused himself to be bound into his
library chair and left for certain
period of time each day, but they be-
lieve in regular hours of work. Some
of them work longer than others, but
whether the daily stint is two hours
or eight it is performed with all due
respect to the clock.
Also modern authors seem to have
evolved plan for conservation of
mental energy which has been adopted
by common consent. This plan con-
sists of saving something for to-mor-
row. In other words, it is deemed bet
ter to leave part Of chapter as be-
ginning for the next day rather than
finish an idea, thereby neccs stating
fresh start on the morrow.
Rex Beach. who is one of the
methodical literary workers, explains
the conservation idea BY comparing an
author to an engine. If locomotive
comes to dead stor there is just so
much slipping of wheels and lost mo-
tion in general in getting under way.
Tut if there is some momentum left it
is easy for the engineer to pick up"
speed. Mr.. Beach works steadily from
3 in the morning until / o'clock in the
afternoon, but if he is within few
paragraphs of the close of chapter
when the l o'clock whistle blows he
Goes rot stay to finish. He leaves
these few paragraphs as an easy in
PRODUCTION to the next days work
Also Mr.. Beach does not believe N
mixing two kinds Of work. When he
