Maintain Its Integrity

CONSOLIDATION of the railroads of the
~ country into score or SO of systems
may be an accomplished fact in the near flu
ture, and the subject is fraught with such
tremendous possibilities and would have
such far-reachag effects that it must be
approached with the caution already mani
tested by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. Professor Ripley. in his able re-
view of the subject as presented to the
commission sought to preserve the essen
tial features OF such q measure of COMPETE
tion as he conceived to be in the public in
terest, 1t seems certain that by consolida-
ton there could be such diversions OF
traffic over weaker lines as to relieve con-
gestion on stronger systems, and to afford
more adequate service to many communi-
ties. Not the least important question that
will arise in this connection is the handling
of terminal facilities, particularly in the
centers of population. Economies in over
head management and in purchases Of equip
ment and supplies undoubtedly would result
from wise consolidation. On the other hand
it Will be no easy task to effect such mergers
az to do justice to the rights Of owners Of
stock
This country does not want government
ownership; we have had enough of govern
nent operation even in emergency. Tho
time has not arrived for dogmatic asser-
tions on this subject, yet IL is undeniable
that many people look with much favor on
the Ripley plan.
Yet, there is not single argument for
consolidation that applies with any force
to the proposal TO embrace the Richmond
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad. 1t
it practically noncompetitive It's service
is essential to every rail carrier in the Mid
die Atlantic States, and they are all at work
nj 10 in
American railroading because it comprises
the executive heads of the most important
lines, all OF whom give it their wisdom and
experience. Ii Inclusion in IL new system
would cost II tie direction OF such men as
Daniel Willard and Henry Walters and w
j. Harahan. The State might and probably
would, lose much money by loss OF value Of
its stock and dividends thereon due to
coupling it with weaker lines Its terminals
are already fully adequate for the next
half century. II is the main north and
south artery OF the nations commerce. and
its power and its capacity TO serve the poo
pie of the nation would necessarily be weak
ened by any change such as that proposed
in the tentative plan the Interstate Com
merce Commission will proceed to consider
next week. Every argument is against 1t;
there is none for it.
we have no doubt the stockholders at
today's annual meeting will give r"cir di-
rectors every necessary sanction Id au
thority TO insure the maintenance OF the
roads independence and integrity, and that
the officials OF the State charged with the
duty and responsibility of guarding the in
terest OF the citizens OF Virginia who own a
substantial part of the stock, will do all that
can be done TO avert the threatened fnan-
cial loss and impaired public service.

Brftain's New Peer

M ANY admirers of that great British
Az statesman Arthur James Balfour ex-
press disappointment that he should be will
ing to round out his remarkable political
career in the House of Lords. They seem
to assume that in his old age he has yielded
TO the establishments OF the peerage and de-
serted the cause Of the great middle class of
Engiishmen through his retirement from the
role of commoner.
This is scarcely fair assumption how
ever, when all the facts in the case are
considered. 1t Is quite true that Lord Bal
four no longer will be eligible for seat in
the House of Commons. No Britisher may
enjoy the rights to sit in both parliamentary
bodies at the same time. But in entering the
House OF Lords the new peer loses none Of
his opportunities to serve his government
that were vouchsafed him as a member OF
the Commons. He may be member of the
Cabinet exactly as before or may even be
Prime Minister. as was the late Marquis
Of Salisbury.
In becoming a peer, Lord Balfour, how
ever, is no longer subjected to the necessity
OF campaigning at every British election for
scat. He does not have to electioneer
for the support Of n constituency or run the
risk Of defeat. His seat in Parliament is
now secure for the remainder of his life and
the changes that may take place in public
sentiment will not affect him.
Although It has been many years since a
peer headed the British government and 1t
has often been contended that none would
ever again be called to the premiership,
there Is reason to believe that If Lord Bal
four should remain in health and il Lloyd
George at some time In the not distant flu
ture should feel inclined to retire to private
life. Lord Bnlfour might be asked by the
crown to form the next Cabinet
This statesman has been a faithful sup
always have agreed with Lloyd George but
presence OF this man in the Lloyd George
that regime. This fact has been recognized
not only in Great Britain. but throughout
the world. Without that support the coali-
ton. In all probability. would have fallen
apart long ago.
The elevation Of Arthur James Balfour
to an earldom was accomplished in a hand
some way and was intended as a tribute
from his government to a faithful and eff
Client minister and legislator. He was first
knighted. Knighthood is, Of course, no I'M
common thing in the United Kingdom
There are hundreds OF men who have
achieved success in some given activity who
have been awarded the Garter or some other
order Of knighthood by the crown.
But after being knighted the government
did not ask the new peer to wait long for
much higher honors or to approach those
honors through slow graduation. Lord Bal
four was made an earl at n single throw,
which is Just one grade below that OF a
marquis and two below that of duke.
