Hon. II. ID. French introduced the
following bill in the House: To pro-
mote comfort of passengers on steam
ferries, to require separate waiting
rooms at the ferry landings and sepa-
rate compartments on the ferry boats
for the races.

Be lust to Then,

VOU, of course, are tired Of
Y reading about the war prison
ers. But it is we'll that you
should continue to read about
them until they are freed or con-
demned anew through unfavorable
Judgment of their cases.
You need not here review the
justice of their original condemna-
tion. They are war prisoners,
these eighty-eight men for whom
the plea of amnesty is being made
anew. We have no word to say
for those guilty of violence or of
overt acts against the Government.
Officially, at least, the war is
over these three and three-quarter
years. If any of these prisoners
are outspoken opponents of our
Government we do not ask for
their release. But if they are
being held because they merely
opposed the making of war they
should be set free, now that their
opinions have become only aca-
demic and harmless.
Surely this country Of all coun-
tries can afford in time of peace
to be at least as justly generous
toward war prisoners as Germany
and England were shortly after
the armistice. Otherwise we stand
self-convicted of cynical callous-
ness or Of irrational fear.
If we are still war-angry, the
great United States could make
better use of its store of righteous
indignation than to waste it upon
group of wartime offenders who
have certainly been amply pun
ished for their temerity in carry
ing their belief in freedom of speech
to its illogical, irrational conclusion.
By the way, have you heard
anything lately of the intention to
punish with Imprisonment the war
contract graftersY

Lloyd George
Ills Book

r LLOYD GEORGE will write
his book, and has already sold
- it for half a million dollars.
He COULD, but he WON'T, write
a book that would be worth ten
million dollars.
He won't, for instance, tell you
how it was arranged in England, as
it was in Germany, to have all
royal princes seem heroes without
any one of them getting scratched.
1t is suggested that Lloyd George
wrote the book that he might
have enough money to be indie
pendent of politics. But he is al
ways an independent in politics,
independent of everybody and
everything in the British Empire,
which his genius took through
the war and out of it. A thousand
millions sterling would not begin
to pay him for what he has done,
and the British, all of whom with
more than a thousand pounds to
their names once hated him, now
realize it.
Lloyd George could write one
good book about his own fights.
Many and bitter they have been.
He had to fight British preju-
dice while he was saving England
financially; he was the most hated
man in the British Empire. He had
to fight the stupidity Of hereditary
nobility, the dullness Of hereditary
monarchy, the near-sighted mean
ness and ignorance of accumulated
capital.
He accomplished the task, and he
is the greatest democrat in one hun
dred years.

Efficiency Is Profitable

ITO make a thing as we'll as you
can, sell it as cheaply and as
i plentifully as you can, pays.
Consider the report by Mr.. Ford s
company to the Commissioner of
Corporations.
Surplus, more than $24O,OOO, 900.
Cash on hand and money due, more
than $14S,000,000, sixty millions
more than last year. The company
has $81, 100000 worth of real
estate, $49,0O0,0O0 worth of ma
chinery, $45, 100000 worth of stock
on hand, securities, $15,OOO,OOO.
The good will is put at $4,000, 900.
1t is worth nearer a thousand mil
lion dollars.
Efficiency pays.

To Split GERMANY?

HARDINAL FAULHARBER, of
Bavaria, talks energetically to
~ Catholic convention in Mu-
Mich. He attacks the German Re-
public and its constitution, de-
nounces the dethroning of the
kaiser as criminal high treason,
and attacks 1.-THE Jewish press" of
Germany.
That indicates a new kind of
trouble, and possible separation of
North and South Germany. 1--WE
are not going to Canossa," Bis.
marck said. But you never can tell
what will happen after a big war.
1t was after wars that a Germanie
ruler did go to Canossa, and stand
barefooted in the snow.
Some Frenchmen and we'll in
formed Englishmen say that the
plan of Marshal Foch, a very earn
est Catholic, for the permanent
weakening of Germany, as a men
ace to France, is to bring about a
separation of Catholic South Ger
many from Protestant North Ger
many. :,
This would be the time for such
an undertaking.

B48Cents Too
Much Pay?

rOUR hundred thousand men
engaged as maintenance
i of way workers. on the rail
roads ask that their pay be in
creased to 48 cents an hour.
The public will ask private own
ers of railroads, who have had hun
dreds of millions from the public
pockets, whether those railroad
owners consider 48 cents an hour
TOO MUCH pay for man and his
familyf ~
If man works eight hours a
day, which should be the maximum
in civilized country, his pay at 48
cents an hour would be 1884 day.
Is that TOO MUCH pay for an
American workman Is it ENOUGH
to feed and clothe man, his wife
and children, and pay rent?
How do the railroads expect the
men to live on LESS than 1884 a
day, or on less than $3.50 day, in
case they can be made to work ten
hours? ..
e. The railroads say, eve must
have dividends" They say it when
their stocks have been so watered
as to make a NOMINAL dividend
of 6 per cent an actual dividend of
thirty, and when. they cry for divi-
dends the public authorities permit
them to raise their rates. They are
double what they were, for THEY
MUST HAVE DIVIDENDS.
What about a human being work
ing on the railroads Is he not en-
titled to some dividend ON HIS
LIFE, on the years that he gives
to railroad serviceH
Isn't he entitled to a little rest
and recreation after he has worked
eight hourss Is he not entitled for
his days work to enough pay to
live decently and let his family
live decentlyY
Will it be necessary for four
hundred thousand men to fight,
strike and tie up the railroads
again, and injure industry, in order
to get the miserable pay they ask,
48 CENTS AN HOURf
Will the President of the United
States have anything to say about
this, and on what side will he
say itF
How long do the railroad pri-
vate owners think the public will
stand their policy of extortion from
the public to the last dollar while
cutting the men that work for them
also to the last dollar3'
If they want to hold their rail
roads and avoid public ownership
on the unpleasant basis of ACTUAL
VALUE OF THE ROADS, they
will do well to think little about
public opinion.
They say quite plainly, eve own
this Administration and can ride it
as hard as we please"
They know best what they own
NOW. But OTHER elections and
other ADMINISTRATIONS are
coming. And the people will still
be here to vote. They will not al
ways, perhaps, vote exactly like
sheep.
