ACTION ON THE VIADUCTS

Acting on the suggestion of the president of the Louisville and Nashville railroad that, his road being willing and ready to cooperate with the city in the construction of viaducts, engineers of the other rail roads affected be called to confer with the Louisville and Nashville engineers and the city engineering department, the president of the city commission has asked for such a conference. The engineers of the Sea- board, Southern, and Louisville and Nash vile have been requested to meet in Bir- mingham April Is for discussion with one another and the city engineer looking to agreement on the viaduct program and for mutation of plans forthwith for beginning the work. The president of the city com mission expresses the belief that real action toward viaduct building will come out of this conference.
 Action should ensue, because there is nothing in the way but easily arranged details. The railroads know that they are under obligation to do their part, and they have, moreover, manifested disposition to do that part willingly. There is no obstacle in the path of performance. The city by this time should know where it is best to begin and have definite plan of action to present. Little time needs to be consumed in arriving at an understanding with the railroads as to their part in the enterprise. The First avenue and Twenty-first street viaducts were built under the same rela- tions between the railroads and the city as exist with respect to other viaduct building, and furnish precedent for further construc- ton. Where business men meet with the main proposition agreed on, the principle accepted, and only the details to be whipped into form, there is neither need of delay nor excuse for procrastination. The con- ference called for April 16 is the natural outflow of the preliminary conferences held separately with the different railroad inter- ests. It should result in the actual busi- ness of viaduct building and it will be so if the city, mindful of its rights and hold ing the railroads to their commitment, in- sists on going ahead.

ANOTHER REFORM
tOhio State JournaD

tOnlO Stdte JouIHdl
 The remarks which congressman do not make but merely have print ed in the Congressional Record, as if they had made them, henceforth are to be set in six-point type instead of eight-point. This means that less paper will be wasted in this way, unless the congressman make their remarks longer, contingency which sometimes seems almost impossible. It costs $50 page 10 print what the congressman say or have printed as if they have said it. The pub lication of the Record at the recent short session cost the taxpayers more than $300,000. There ought to be a full report of the congress sional proceedings, but why it should include things that were not part of the proceedings has never been very clear to the dispassionate, uncon- gressional mind. However, the new six-point rule represents a step in the right direction, and we hail it as reform. We must not expect too much and it is little better to be imposed upon in six-point than In eight-pc:.:...

Whispers of Hope By REV. H. C. OFFERMAN

Bless other people and help them. Let there be enthusiasm for everything.
 Scatter your seeds far and wide. A man without plan is like a shipwreck.
 Thoughts and ideas should be- come deeds and results.
 Forget the past unless it is really worth while remembering.
 Encourage goodness and let them encourage your goodness.
 Love mankind and mankind will love you.

Space and Mileage

NAiSAdHueT S-ity 0utioohj
 For our part we cannot see where the newspapers can be corrupted by exchanging some advertising space for railroad mileage any more than they would be for receiving cash for it. If they are going to be cor rupted cash will come nearer doing it than railroad mileage will. For our part, We prefer the hard cash, for you cah pay bills with that, while mileage will not pay, but what we do object to is little politician intimating that all people connected with the newspaper game are crooks. We have been coming into contact with them quite while and we are fully convinced that they will compare most favorably with any other class of people.

Changed Their Tune

 Everyone around Collinsville re- calls how up to few years ago the funny men of the city newspapers were all the time laughing about the country folks. Farmer Corntas. sell" Uncle Reuben and other al- legged rustic characters were tho subject for many a joke and car- toon. But you do not see much Of that cheap wit now. No, there isn't so much Kidding of the rural resident in the city papers now. That's largely due to the fact that the newspaper men have come to realize where their bread and meat comes from.

THE RUHR TIDE TURNING

There is official talk of conference be- tween Germany and England looking to a basis of settlement of the Ruhr situation on a basis France can accept. Germany's pas sive resistance has hurt herself and not France. It has been for Germany good deal like leaning back against board filled with sharpened nails. It hasn't inconven- fenced the one holding the board. The in- dustrial barons have begun to squirm, for they have been injured in their most sensi- tive area-their pockets. It appeared at first a very high and mighty thing for the industrial leaders to refuse to obey the French orders to carry on; but when they saw their business dwindle away, their ma chinery and equipment begin to rust and their working organizations to be broken up, the operators of mines and factories came to their senses, and discovered that it was costing more for them to evade their separations than to pay them.
 Accordingly, there now appears among the German officials and leaders of indus try a disposition to discover some method of payment that will be acceptable to France. Any other course means ruin for Germany's wealthiest magnates. It means a diversion of Ruhr trade to other produc- ing centers, such as is already noticeable in far-away Alabama. It means eventually re- organization by the French of the Ruhr industries and pouring into the coffers of France the wealth that has been Germany's. There is no escape from that eventuality, unless the Germans come to terms with France. The hope of intervention from other nations on Germany's showing of in- jury and helplessness has been blasted. Germany succeeded in creating no sympa- thy abroad, for the source of the mournful propaganda was too easily perceived. Be- sides, the world has had enough of Ger many and doesn't much care what happens to her, especially when she is in the wrong.
 France, on the other hand has consis- tently maintained the position that. her troops will begin to withdraw whenever Germany resumes payment and gives sub- stantial evidence of intention to redeem her pledges. France has conducted her occupa- tion with the utmost fairness and modera- ton. She has shown no vindict1veness against those who have sought to nag her, and has sought at all times merely to main- tain order, and not to oppress. When she advanced into the Ruhr she was almost friendless as far as the sympathy of other nations was concerned. As the days passed, however, and her firmness and purpose stood out more clearly against the dark background of German default and passive resistance, sympathy turned to France and today there are few who do not hope that she will be successful. The latest turn of events indicates that she will be successful.
