The "Spoken Newspaper" Fails.

Already the spoken newspaper" of
the French super-intellectuals has
proved a failure. 1t was their idea
to have a group of people gather in
a meeting place each week and there
and then various of their number
would deliver news stories and inter-
pretations of them, dramatic, art or
book criticisms and editorials. They
apparently entered into the project
in all sincerity that it was a prac-
tical move. They claimed that the
trouble with the newspapers was that
the material in them lost its flavor
through being read and not heard.
Any practical newspaperman could
have told the Paris savants that the
plan would fail, just as the radio must
fail as substitute for, but not as an
auxiliary to, the newspaper.
The average daily newspaper con-
tains as much printed material as
a full-length Dickens novel-and
Dickens was the champion long-dis-
tance novel writer of his age Natural
ly no person can read all of this
material every day. The reader selects
that which most interests him. Prob
ably no two persons choose exactly
the same combination, and the at
tempt to render a newspaper aloud
by radio or by direct reading means
that the Subscriber" must perforce
listen to lots that bores him. Such
plan is foredoomed to failure from

republican should undertake to draw
the color line in politics. The repub-

and, while it has failed to support him
in the exercise of his voting privi-
lege, it cannot afford to antagonize
him-to appeal for power by turning
it's back on him.

Seniority.

Illustrating the difficulties which
have beset President Harding in his
efforts to bring about adjustment of
industrial disputes is the fact that the
one issue which stands in the way of
speedy ending Of the railroad shop
mems strike was not an issue at all
when the strike was called. The ques.
tion Of the seniority rating of the men
who went on strike and now would
return to work is an exceptionally
vexatious problem, because principles
are involved about which opinions diff.
fer widely.
To the uninterested and uninformed
public it may seem that this question
is trivial one to stand in the way of
settlement, but that seniority in
railway employment is thing of very
considerable value is evidenced by the
insistence Of the strikers that if they
return to work it must be with ratings
unirnpaired. Seniority carries with it
certain privileges and advantages
which are the natural and just re.

an individual leaves his employment
he expects to sacrifice these advan-
tages, and If he returns he goes, as a
matter of course, to the bottom of the
rating. Nothing else is claimed or
expected. The shopmen as mass
are not willing to abide by the conse-
quences which they would expect to
endure If they had left their employ
ment as individuals
The position Of the railroads in op-
posing this demand Of the shopmen is
clearly explained in an official state
ment issued by the New York Cen
trail. The statement says:
All employees on railroads are ac-
corded seniority of service IL other
wise competent. This means that the
senior employees are entitled to choice

sary temporarily to reduce forces that

Mr.. Marshall Back.

Former Vice President Marshall has
returned from Europe, and is in his
usual jovial mood. He is out of pol
itics, he announces. He cannot longer
afford the game. Age is coming on
and he must prepare for it.
All very well, but conditions do not
favor the keeping of the resolution
The country was never fuller Of pol
itics than now. 1t beckons from every
quarter. 1t is insistent from Indiana
where a humping campaign is open
ing.
There was hope at one time that
Mr.. Marshall would be his party's
nominee for senator. His experience
as the presiding officer Of the Senate
his personal popularity at home, and
his acknowledged ability as man and
politician picked him out as the right
man for the race. But he demurred
and the nomination was bestowed
upon another.
The nominee, however, is Mr.. Mar
shall's friend, and has a claim upon
more than his sympathy. He is pitted
against former Senator Beveridge, an
exceptionally strong campaigner. and
so will need all the assistance avail
able.
Will Mr.. Marshall be available?
What more likely? What more likely
than that it will be requested and
granted. and that Mr.. Marshall will
find himself in the whirl, playing a
star part on the stump and enjoying
himself as Of yore?

No Re-Audit Required.

Chairman Phipps of the joint COM
mittee on District surplus announces
that the new audit into the federal
District accounts will begin with the
1st of July, 1911. This does not sig
Nifty that the terms of the provision
in the appropriation act for an inquiry
will not be strictly followed. The law
requires survey of federal-District
fiscal relations from July 1, 1874. with
view of determining what equities,
If any, the District has in it's unap-
propriated surplus of tax revenues
lying in the Treasury. amounting to
approximately S5,000,0O0. But the
joint committee has ascertained that
thorough research has already been
made into the old credits and debts of
the District, and that the District has
been forced to pay large sums in
liquidation of federal claims estab-
1ished. at least to the satisfaction of
Congress, by earlier audits. 1t is well
known, and the joint committee now
accepts the fact, that the earlier audits
were made most thoroughly and dras-
tically. The District had no repre-
sentation in them. Against the justice
of some of these collections protest
has been entered. No offsetting Dis
1rict equities were admitted. 1t is be-
lieved. and the joint committee now
assumes. that nothing was left un-
claimed and uncollected after these
audits. followed by appropriations
from District revenues. Therefore, the
joint committee now considers that it
is unnecessary to go over again the
ground so thoroughly covered by the
earlier audits.
In these circumstances there is good
reason to expect that this present re-
search into the District-federal fiscal
relations can yield nothing but Dis
trict equities. If that is the case, every
dollar of District tax money now lying
unappropriated in the Treasury will
be a District asset, to be applied to
the cash-basis surplus that is to be
accumulated by the 1st of July, 1927.
According to the Commissioners pres
ent estimates, the money now lying
in the Treasury, which has already
been acknowledged to be a tangible,
veritable surplus and not a 'bookkeep-
ing myth will constitute more than
the requisite fund for cash payments
1t will be necessary for practical
purposes to have in hand on the 1st of
July, 1927, only enough District money
TO meet so per cent of the appropria-
tions expended from July 1 to Decem-
ber /, by which latter date half of the
District taxes will annually have been
paid. The Commissioners estimate
this amount at $4,000, 900. The sur
plus is between s4.5O0,O0O and s5,-
100000. They plan to raise during
the current fiscal year 100000 more
than appropriations by applying a rate
of S1.30 to a hundred per cent valua-
tion. Making allowances for possible
shrinkages and tax payment failures
il is evident that if the joint commit
tee reports that the District has a 100
per cent equity in it's accumulation of
tax money now in the Treasury it will
be unnecessary. after the present fis-
cal year, to raise more by taxation
