EXCESSIVE POWER ASKED

Legislators should go slowly in according
powers to branches of the general govern
ment tending to render them Independent
of the officials chosen by the people and re-
sponsible to the people for good government
and the economical expenditure of public
funds For that reason the reported plan OF
the city health officer and department en-
ployes to petition the legislature for greater
latitude than now allowed in the use of the
public funds is to be weighed most carefully
1t is stated that the petition will ask for
"Absoute autonomy in the budgeting and
expenditure of funds and the selection, dis
cipline and tenure of personnel"
The State Medical Association, which con-
trolls the states health machinery, is sort
of oligarchy, exercising legislative powers.
It perpetuates itself by electing its own
officers and is not directly responsible To
the people who pay the bills. The health
laws should be amended, but in a manner
that would take away arbitrary power from

MERITS OF THE CAPPER BILL

Of two measures before Congress pro-
viding for the extension of further credits
to farmers, Secretaries Wallace and Hoover
favor the Anderson-Lenroot bill while Sec
rotary Mellon prefers the Capper bill. 1t is
probable that the decision of Secretary Mel
lon is on the better footing because he makes
the criticism that the Anderson-Lenroot bill
would place the government to large ex-
tent in the commercial banking business,
would have heavy drafts upon the treasury
for the capital of the farm credits depart
ments, and that would mean either more
government borrowing or higher taxes on
all the people, and would provide for isss-
ance of tax-exempt collateral trust bonds
to raise additional necessary funds"
All these objections appeal to the average
taxpayer as sound and deserving the ap-
proval of all the representatives of the peo-
pie. There is quite, decided sentiment
against federal operation of any industry
or business, especially in competitive field.
Any measure that is based on an extension
in this direction Is therefore unpopular.
Equally unpopular are measures that I'M
necessarily contemplate an increase in tax
alton. There are so many better ways of
finding funds for helping the farm loan
situation that the tax way seems almost de-
liberately wrong. The average taxpayer
does not indulge greatly In tax-exempt Sc
curities, and is therefore opposed to un-
necessary additions to such flotations.
As for the Capper BILL it is evident from
Mr.. Melons remarks that these objections
do not apply. There is no division of opin-
ion as to the desirability of making farm
credits easier, but there should be emphasis
laid on the necessity of doing this with as
little resultant public burden as possible
The rural credits feature of the Capper bill
would, according to Secretary Mellon, draw
capital and credit from available sources
for use where needed by the agricultural
and livestock industries, and would accom-.
plish this on business basis without de-
pending on government money or tax ex-
emptions. Altogether it presents 3
comprehensive plan of permanent relief on
practical lines" This argument of Mr.. Me-
Ions wins approval by its very adherence to
principles of sound business, ana by the fact
that it demonstrates that the bill makes use
of existing agencies rather than seeks to
create new ones or to compete with estab-
lished agencies. One of the great evls Of
our government is its unnecessary and con-
fusing completely of bureaus and machinery
When it is possible to accomplish a pubic

eies, by all means let that course be followed

DOMINICAN AUTONOMY

A new era for Santo Domingo begins with
the establishment of provisional govern
ment headed by Senior Vicni-Burgos, as a
result of the state departments decision 10
withdraw American troops from the Domini-
can republic. The American occupation
of Santo Domingo lasted for seven years,
and while there has been much criticism of
the government for its Dominican policy,
the task of restoring order and placing the
Dominican people in position to govern
themselves has apparently been accomplish
ed. Furthermore, by the building of roads,
the protection of private property, the
breaking up Of banditry, sanitation and gov
eminent economies, the republic and its
people are in far better case than they
otherwise would have been. The withdrawal
of American troops should put an end to
the accusations that the United States was
pursuing hgh-handed and imperialistic
policy in its treatment of Santo Domingo

A SYMPTOM AT HERRIN

Although the prosecution in the Herrln
trial had introduced the testimony of only
thirty-nine witnesses when hearings were
resumed yesterday, nearly four hundred
witnesses are waiting to testify for the de-
tense and eleven have already been heard.
That gives some idea of the ardaous task
faced by the prosecution in bringing to JUS
tice persons implicated in one of the most
atrocious crimes in the country's history.
When small army of witnesses are pre-
pared to testify in a case such as this, there
is reason to suspect that some of them, at
any rate, are not impartial. 1t does appear
strange, however, that in spite Of the fact
that practically the entire population of
Herrin is believed to have seen or known
what was going on when the non-union
workers were massacred at the Lester
strip" mine, dsfense witnesses overwhelm-
ingly outnumber witnesses for the prosecu-
ton. That would indicate to an outside
observer the trend of public sentiment -

PUBLIC INTEREST INVOLVED

The country expects due consideration
of its interests at the joint conference Of
coal operators and miners which is to begin
its adjourned session in Chicago today. The
nation is not disposed to submit quietly to
another long cessation of the mining indus
try, as was the case last year, especially if
it indicates that neither side has made a
sincere attempt to reach a compromise.
After months of ideness, during which coal
reserves were exhausted and the nation was
made to feel the pinch of a fuel famine
accompanied by exorbitant prices, operations
were resumed on practically the same basis
as they were when they ceased in the early
spring. Neither operators nor mine leaders
displayed anxiety for the public veal. 1t
is imperative that every effort be made by
mine operators and union leaders to come
to an agreement that will avoid a REPETITION
of last years strike.

A PLANE FROM GERMANY

Memories of those stirring times when
London was being bombarded by German
airplanes and Zeppelins were recalled when
a German airman plotted the first German
plane across the channel that has landed vol
unfairly on English soil since the World
war. The ingenuity of German engineers
seems to have overcome the allied restrc-
tions on German aircraft which compelled
them to experiment with low-power engines.
The plane that arrived at the Croydon air
dome has only 1856 horsepower, but carries
as many passengers as British machines of
400 horsepower. This all-metal visitor from
across the Rhine brought the directors of s
large German air combine who are planning
to establish an air transportation service be-
tween London and Berlin. The business
men of Europe are going ahead with inter
national enterprises despite the wrangles Of
politicians. When economic stability is re-
stored and investments are made secure
Europe's industrial recovery will be rapid

A TRIP TO TURKEY
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
The Turkish nationalists' expression OF
desire for the respect" of the nations
would be worthy of more consideration if
it were accompanied by acts demanding such
respsct. The best way to get the worlds
respect is to earn it. The nationalist lead
ers should realize this and should shape their
course relative to racial and religious mi
norities more nearly to accord with the plain
requirements of justice. If the Turks have
not the respect of the nations, it is because
they have forfeited it. If they would have
the sovereignty of their government accept
ed as satisfactory, they should see to it that
it is exercised in manner that does nor,
as it has in the past, tend to turn the world
against it..

A Timely Editorial
Public Opinion Will Danish Strike.

uDHc Opinlon VIII banl5h 0trlkeS
From the Chicago News.
At the opening meeting of the
American Economic association,
now in session in Chicago, Prof. H.
R. Seager of Columbia university,
distinguished economist with con-
siderable practical experience in in
dustrial arbitration, directed atter-
ton in purely scientific spirit, to
the remarkable changes in public
opinion in regard TO strikes and
lockouts. He also expressed the
overnight conversions either of en-
ployers or of labor leaders. of the
old-fashioned type, the realization
of the fact that industrial strife is
preventable, wasteful and morally
reprehensible, will so penetrate po-
litical and social thought that APP
propriate voluntary machinery, as
well as legislation designed to safe
)guard economic peace and produc-
ton, will emerge as matter of
course.
Professor Seager pointed out
that, despite the opposition of trade
union officials, the company or shop
form of unionism is spreading and
broadening its influence. There
were 725 company unions last Feb
ruary, as against 225 in August,
1917. The strike weapon, needless
ly employed, became boomerang.
Intelligent wage workers turned to
the shop union as corrective and
preventive of costly and injurious
strife. Employers who had reso-
lutely opposed trade unions turned
to the same substitute and found it
successful.
1t is idle and shallow, Professor
Seager rightly argues, to propose
the abandonment of the arbitration
and Cancellation machinery now in
use and reversion to senseless and
ruinous warfare. The logic of fact
will compel the American people to
improve and strengthen that ma
chinery. The railroad labor board,
for example, should be given addi-
tional authority. Public sentiment
should veto the shortsighted plans
of self-styled progressives to kill or
paralyze that agency.
Some time ago Daniel Willard.
presidentof the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, declared that the shipments
strike would not have taken place
had both the railroads and their or
ganized employees faithfully accept
ed the awards of the labor board.
1t is true that perverse opposition
from bourbon executives gave their
employees, or labor leaders of ex-
IRENE views, excuses for defying the
labor board in their turn. There
is no doubt as to the correctness of
Mr.. Wizards diagnosis, as there is
no doubt as to the soundness Of
Professor Seager's prognosis. Pub
lie opinion and common sense among
employers and employees are bound
to do away with industrial strife.
Wise and moderate legislation will
aid the general tendency.

Poor Boys Who Become
Great
James Wac. Perfection Of the Steam Enain
By FREDERICK HoUK LAW

James WatI, GrrGCtOf OF the SIeam Engine
About hundred years ago kindly old
gentleman wrote about himself; 81 am MOI
enterprsing l find myself out OF
my sphere when | have anything to do with
mankind
That man, James Watt, was one of the
worlds greatest inventors. By perfecting
the steam engine he set in motion millions
of factory wheels; led the way to railroad
engines that carry civilization into the will
derness; made possible marine engines thar
drive ships on all the seas; and prepared
for the use of steam in mining for treasures
greater than those of Golconda, He had sur
veyed for canals and bridges; had invented
the copying press for office use; had made
a machine with which to copy sculpture,
and an instrument for measuring distances
The Royal Society had printed his treaties,
and the great and wise were proud to be
called his friends.
James Watt had struggled with poverty
and with physical weakness had done all his
great work, and still thought he was not
enterprising His mind was set on accom-
plishing even greater things. His father
boy had worked as an instrument maker.
Glasgow workmen had forbidden him to
open shop of his own, since he had not
served full apprenticeship One day he
was asked to repair the model of crude
steam-pump. why" thought he, ''must
the cylinder be cooled by water?" why
must one end of the cylinder be open?"
Months after that he made a condens1ne
tank; kept the cylinder hot; closed both
ends; and made the steam push one way as
well as the other. He made valves and thus
saved power He invented the whistling
governor, the indicator and the throttle
valve.
Oddly enough, he opposed the use Of
steam for moving engines, and stipulated
that no steam carriage should come near his
house. Perhaps he did not realize the
greatness of his service for man; perhaps
he often felt that he was not enterprising.
Men do not always know how great is the
service they perform.

Genuine friendship means sacrifices

The completion of personality is
