Patriots or Pirates-Which?

There is a lot of smoke about the
seizure of the German dye patents and
the formation of the Chemical Foun-
dation, with Francis P. Caravan as its
president. Garvan was former Alien
Property Custodian under President
Wilson, and succeeded former Attor-
ney General Palmer in that position.
Garvan and Palmer have issued state
ments showing the patriotic purposes
that actuated them to build up the
American dye business and to pro
mote the interests of humanity
through the advancement of chemistry
But the Government is latter them"
and President Harding, Attorney
General Daugherty and Alien Proper
ty Custodian Miller are engineering a
prosecution which not only deals with
the civil features concerned but in
which criminal prosecution is threat

The president has the best of any
controversy when he shows that the
intent of the law" is to prevent lust
such Interruptions in the mail service
and the flow of interstate commerce
as had been occasioned by the latest
strike. And when he adds that the op-
Grafton of the railroads is necessary
to preserve the public peace and to
facilitate those operations in safety
which are essential to life and liberty,
and the security of property and our
common public welfare" he is talking
a language that all can understand.
1t needed something dramatic like
this to demonstrate conclusively that
in the new triangle that is to rule with
reason the transportation affairs of the
country, that in the final analysis the
public is the real boss.

The American Merchant
Marine

1t is hot and sticky in Washington,
and lassitude and latitude are getting
in their deadly work as the arch-ene-
mics of progressive politics. The
weather macs loafers of us all, and
there is no exception even among the
statesmen who yearn for their neigh
bors and the comfortable comforts for
them back home" But the mills of
the Congress have been grinding ex-
ceedingly slow, and there is still lots
to be done before the cares of the
Government can be laid aside by those
who are the chosen representatives OF
the sovereign people. Where Presi-
dents get all their energy has long
been mystery and woe to the 500
"elect" on Capitol Hill, who, just as
they are preparing to get away every
summer, are told that there is still an
other, big job to handle. This year it is
ship subsidy. President Harding
went off for weekend on the May
flower and when he got back to Wash
ington the dearest thing he could
think of was the task of saving the
American merchant marine.
Of course Congress has long known
that there is problem to meet with
regard to the merchant marine; but
Congress thought next winter or next
year would be soon enough. Even
now they cannot understand why, aft
er waiting half century for a mer-
chant marine, that there should be
such hurry about the matter just
when the weather began to get so hot
But the President says that the pres
ent session must dispose of the mat
ter. He has reviewed the building Of
our ships during the war, when any
thing that could float was contracted
for And then he recites the story oil
the slump in foreign shipping, and
the shrinkage of the value of our grea'
fleets. He emphasizes the fact tina,
we are in possession of great mer.
chant marine, and he makes it clear
that it is good deal of a white ele.

out of the way, to the position or
chairman of the Senate Finance Com
mittee
Senator Mccormick Of Illinois, has
proposed that the Seniority rule" be
abolished in the Senate. He bluntly
says that the reason for his suggestion
is to avoid giving the place to LaFol-
lette. The Wisconsin Senator is as
unpopular as ever in the Senate. and if
the seniority rule" could be gotten
rid of there would be no chance that
he would secure the great prize of the
Senate. AS remarked above: The rule
is a Jonah-and the Senate would
swallow whale to get rid of the pos
sibility of LaFollette being chairman
of the Finance Committee.

A Little Senatorial Gossip

According to the seniority rule"
the successor of Senator McCumber as
chairman of the Finance Committee of
the Senate will be Senator Smoot of
Utah. This Craftsmanship is the most
important one in Congress, and when
it passed by reason of the death of
Senator Penrose to Senator McCum-
ber the ultra-conservatists were alarm
ed because McCumber was supposed to
be too liberal" But the minute he got
into the Penrose shoes he was class
ed as ito conservative" for North Da-
kota, and accordingly the Al hard
voters of that State turned him down
for denomination.
The first thing they did to Smoot
when he came to Washington many
years ago was to try him. He was
acquitted on the charge of polygamy.
but though he has been classed as a
great Senator of the conservative
class, he has never lost any Of his zeal
for the Mormon Church. The latest
word is that he may be chosen as its
head, a position he has said to prefer
to that of being senator.
The Senate might get along with
out Smoot or any other individual, but
it never has gotten along without its
seniority rule" 1t is a plan that us.
ually works; but right now it is a Jon

peg at time by reason of continued
service in Washington until he is now
eligible, is reelected. and with Smoo

Public" Is the Real Boss.
The public interest jumped distinctly
into first place when President Hard
ing issued his proclamation concern
ing the railroad situation. By it he
pointed out very clearly that the de-
cisions of the government, as the
arbitrator of differences in railroad
management and operation must not
be lightly cast aside. A few stub
born railroad operators and few
pugnacious labor leaders were faced
with new. situation when they found
the president challenging their right
and good faith in defying the railroad
labor board The board itself has no
power to make its decisions manda-
tory. But public opinion can do that
little trick, just as it did in sustaining
the Supreme Court in its earliest days,
even when men like Thomas Jeffer-
son, as President of the United States,
attempted to tell Chief Justice John
Marshall to "go way back and sit
down."

Defying the Government.


Aaron Burr was arrested for treas
on because he ignored the policies of
the government when he started out
with the idea of conquering Mexico.
Burr got out of it, but his troubles
served to warn others, and now when
ever Americans want to upset the
Mexican situation they do it more
craftily and keep within the pale of
the law. Defying the government is
a bum policy-to which statement
even Eugene v. Debs and lot OF
other misguided gentlemen will-or
ought to subscribe.
Of course there was nothing treas
enable about the strike of the shop
craft employees. Neither is the con-
tract system of shop work with out
side agencies crime. But President
Harding in his proclamation points
out that the railroad operators and
the railroad employees have in these
instances defed the orders of the
Railroad Labor board, and that in SC
doing they have also dehed the govern
ment.
The issue was made clear-cut by the
president, and in defining the situation
in his proclamation he had the advan.
tage of finding the employers and the
employees equally to blame, inasmuch
as both sides had attempted to annul
the rights of the public.

POSTAL ECONOMY

Postmaster General Work is in fav-
OF of ownership by his department OF
every postoffice building in the coun-
try, that is, of every building that
houses a postoffice. He has examined
leases of buildings or parts of build
ings occupied as postoffices. and finds
that the rentals for ten and twenty
years would in many instances have
paid for the buildings If the rental
pays for building in ten years, the
rent is excessive, but it is not if il
taken twenty years for it to cover the
sci VALUE of the building. How
.sx nany cases, the postoffice does
upy a whole building, tand
if the rental pays for such
even in twenty years, it is
ssive rental.

Yet in his teens. Romeo Giorgio.
son of former alderman Rocco Gior-

into a pitching prize. that the major
baseball league Is bidding for.
Scouts from the New York Giants
the st. Louis Browns and the Chica-
so White Sox have been observing
the developments OF this lads abil-
ity In hurting for the last two sea-
sons.
1t was at the close of the bas,-
ball season last year that young
Giorgio was summoned to the White
Sox camp and given the once over.
There his rating for style and con-
troll as a pitching recruit was re-
ported in by one OF the attendants
as excellent" However, at the fin-
al inspection by the manager, Gior-
gio was rejected because of a de-
fective arm.
Since then the East Chicago boy
has struggled along under the care
of specialist squandering valuable
time pitching for the home teams.
1t Is the opinion of local men how
ever. that Georgia will be given an
other opportunity in big ball this
year.
