! lCWELrERING in the summer heat in your Whining
~ ton ofHce home; maybe you are envying the
Amundsen exploring party which will spend seven cold
years drifting the North Pole.
Aboard the good ship Maud these fur-clad adven-
turers will have a trip took before.
The polar ice, forming constantly near Alaska, makes
a solid field which slowly up the North
Pole onward until 1t the warm gulf stream and
melts. As as 1t mets at end It keeps form
ing other There you have perpetual motion that
gets nowhere.
Frozen in this ice the schooner Maud will go where
It is taken with no in matter, Eat the
OF the elements"
That would be an interesting trip. Equally interest
ing what the explorers will find civili-
cation like when thaws free of the Ice and
heads homeward down the Atlantic, in 1929.
A lot may happen in seven years And lot will
happen For precedent, consider what has happened
since 1915 seven years ago, when the World War was
in its first stages
How about 1929? viii the Bolshevik be out in Rus
slaY VIII Germany be monarchy? VIII blood be
flowing again in Europe?
In our country years from now, will the Demo-
Gratis be back in power? VIII Ford be PRESIDENT VIII
big business be full-bast7 Will cost Of liv-
ing be higher lower than now?
The great of the next probably
will come in science Monkey-gand operations may
become common Mars might concevably get in COM
muncaton with Man may get closer to the super
natural New wonders greater than radio, may be dis
covered.
More important than all these. you personally is
what you will be doing in 1929. VIII you be plugging
along about the now? VIII you have lost
ground? or will be rch reaping the effort
or blessed by legacy other unexpected stroke of
luck?
The Amundsen party will keep in touch with clvlliza-
ton by radio. But 1t will find the world strangely
changed when 1t returns.
Like primitive ancestors who consulted witch
doctors and medicine men. yearn part the cur
aims and peer into the unknown Maybe It's best that
We cannot.

UNTHINKABLE.

From the New York Herald
When railroad managers and rail-
road workers on strike have come
to a meeting OF minds on all but
one Of half a dozen points of con-
troversy il is highly improbable that
the two will very long remain apart.
When the one point on which
there has yet been no meeting OF
minds involves the seniority rights
of the strikers; when the remaining
issue is whether the men who stuck
to their jobs. under the decision Of
the United States Railroad Labor
Board and in a sense of loyalty to
the railway service and Of duty to
the public, shall have their senior
ity standing subordinated to that of
the men who did not stick to their
jobs-when that is the remaining
issue is hardly credible that 1t
will be fought by the shop unions
to the last ditch.
In any event, that the men who,
sticking to their Jobs. stood by the
United States Railroad Labor Board,
stood by the railroads and stood by
the American public, should be sac
rificed to the men who. quitting
their jobs, stood against the Unit
ed States Railroad Labor Board.
stood against the railroads and
stood against the American public.

Editorial Opinion
uNEcoNosno CONDITIONS.

| From the New York Tribune.
Congress. reverting to its old prac
tice OF economizing at the expense
: OF the War Department. has ordered
the removal of about $500 officers
from the regular army.
These men represent a heavy in
vestment by the Government. Hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars have
been spent in preparing them. In an
emergency their services are indis-
pensable and between emergencies
these men are just as indispensable.
II we are to have a little army the
greater is the need of trained COM
missioned and non-commissioned Of
ficerA
II is almost unbelievable that the
lesson of 1917 has so soon been for
gotten. The need of officers was so
/ Imperative and the lack so great
that boys with only two or three
months experience at the training
camps were rushed into positions of
high responsibility. That the result
ing fighting machine. composed of
but little more than l per cent OF
professional army men, was as sue
cessful as 1t was. was almost a mir
acle.
Lacking a large military establish
ment, the United States must at
least have the framework of one.
This framework must be sufficient to
train the large bodies of troops that
must be raised in case of war. The
most important two elements In 1t
are trained officers and experienced
noncommissioned officers. Owing to
the modern developments in warfare
II is more important than ever that
the former be thoroughly prepared
as leaders and as instructors.
The days are gone when a diminu-
tive army of which the basis is the
number of privates is sufficient. The
basis Of the new army must be its
commissioned and non-commission-
ed personnel. In reducing this Con-
gress is practising false economy. A
sufficient personnel, well trained to
instruct wartime recruits, is the
best insurance against war and at
the same time the best and chapest
military policy.

The Men to Dig the Coal
(From the New York Herald.)

President of the United States that

mailed fist" when the skilled min
ers on strike win not dig It and
nobody else knows how7
But If there is nobody to dig the
coal let Samuel Gompers explain. If
he can, why murderous strikers find
the only way they can stop the min
ing OF coal against the strike orders
is to commit an unspeakable butch
cry OF coal mine workers at Herrin,
Illinois.
If there is nobody TO dig the coal
let Samuel Gompers explain, IL he
can. why a frenzied mob tries TO
slaughter the working miners and
their protecting guards in Brooke
county, West Virginia.
If there is nobody to dig the coal
let Samuel Gompers explain, IL he
can. why the Norfolk and Western
Railroad in territory where mining
is free from violence is loading 5000
carloads OF coal a day instead of
normal number of 1000; why. in
like circumstances, the Virginian
Railway is making similar records.
II there is nobody to dig the coal

mines right now are supplying up

tit valueless.
Moreover, the public has a notion
Of what the operators would do TO
coal prices should they gain COM
plete and uncontrolled power. The
public is not only willing to have
full information as to profits, but
longs for it and beyond doubt Presi-
dent Harding shares the public's
wish.
Yet the miners fail to put their
cards on the table face up. They
don't publicly offer, in language all
can understand, to submit their case
to an arbitral board which is to in
vestigate and report on both profits
and wages. Failure to employ the
elementary strategy of putting the
other fellow in a hole tends to per-
suade the public that the miners no
more want arbitration than do the
operators-that If one side is jockey
ing so is the other. This does not
much hurt the operators, for they
are at no great pains to conceal
their real objective. but It does hurt
the miners. who need to have public
sympathy to win.

Let him enroll his strike leaders on

Let Samuel Gompers stop the gem

whether enough coal cannot be

Profits As Well As Wages
(From the New York Trlbune)

Thomas Kennedy. chairman of
, the anthracite miners scale COM
mittee, complains that 'it seems
that interest lies in only one direc-
tion, and that is TO put wages on
the arbitration table and permit the
profits of the operators to go un-
challenged"
II things are so, If the strike set
tlement commission asked for by
the President is not to consider
profits as well as wages. Chairman
Kennedy has just cause to complain.
But a rereading of the Presidents
declaration does not support the
chairman's interpretations All mat
ters are to be inquired into and to
affect the judgment-profits as well
as wages. Indeed, any other course
would be absurd, for how can the
justice of a wage scale be deter
mined unless there is a knowledge
of profits?
The public is not inclined toward
the mine operators. Much evidence
supports the suspicion that they are
out TO smash collective bargaining
or so to circumscribe it as to make

.ROTH IS SUSPENDED
 RUTH MADE CAPTAIN
Bobby Accused of Breaking
 Training Rules

New Orlenns La, March IS. --- Bobby Roth Yankee outnelder, who recently joined the squad here, was Indefinitely suspended yesterday for ilfraction of the clubs regulations and training rules. The suspe si ol was announced by Manager Miller Huggina. who added that Roth has been advised to take the first train to his home in Chicago.
 In addition to making known the punishment inflicted on Roth, Hug gins disclosed that Babe Ruth had been appointed captain of the Yan- fill the void left by the departure of Roger Peckinpangh for Boston.
 These were the only developme mt s ot what otherwise would have been q duh. drab day in camp. Rain spoiled yesterdays practice session, halting the drill before the athletes really had d chance to warm to their tasks.
 The suspension of Roth probably indicates the passing of the veteran as Yankee and possibly as major league star. The Chicagoan is vet eran of many years, having played with six clubs in the Ban Johnson circuit since his graduation from the minors. He was of little use to the Yankees last year because of an in iured knee. The injury has not re sponded to treatment in the measure expected, condition which caused doubt as to his usefulness to the Yan kees in the approaching struggle for another American league pennant.
