INCREASING PROFITS
 BRING NEW RAIL TUNE

New York, Feb. 23.-While fnan- cial pages in the daily press record increased railroad earnings the public ear is deafened by the cry that reg ulation is running the railroads" Railroad earnings are not generally noticed by the average reader who does not take time to decipher hnan cial jargon The railroads hardluck story, however, is always noticed, as somehow 1t manages to get top ot column, next to pure reading natter
 A few months ago railroad fnan- ciers insisted that the CumninsrEsch law be amended. Politicians took the hint and began to owlishly talk such generalities as retain the good of the Cummins-E law and eliminate the unavoidable" It looked at one time as though the financiers would accept labor's opposition to this law. But a change was noticed when progts in creased and the status of the new congress became known. The wise men began to hint that if the railroad question Is opened up by the'new com gress no one knows what will hap pen.
 Throughout the land was then

heard the refrain: Let we'll enough alone" Give the railroads time to work out their problems" In fact, tne tlnanciers became almost as en- ti,usiastiC over the Cu1nrlins-Esch law as when they jammed it through congress with the greatest lobby ever assembled in the nations capital
 While fnanciers talk this %wav in the financial section of the daily press, their publicity agents and banquet bankers rccite their funeral tale about the railroads being strangled," etc, etc And to add to the general gloom photographic editors discuss the ca tastrophe that threatens our fair land, which is now paying the price for "tolerating destructive agitators," they say.
 These prophets of woe and singers of sorrow also declare the railroads can no longer raise money because of the campaign of abuse, suspicion and hate carried on against them
 In the financial section, however, the facts are found There bond buy CTS are notified that the railroads have about reached the end of their string in raising money by selling bonds.
 "It is felt that the maximum advan- tage has been taken from this means of raising money' is the diplomatic way to say that the railroads have heen morteaged to their limit even

Matters of Moment

The Railroads and Big Interests must have carried water" to the elephant and the donkey and that's how they got into the Big Show The ProgressiVes will have the best show next year. They will depend upon the "voter'' and not the water.
 It isn't so much what they put into you as what you got i'll you that counts.
 Make up your mind now that what you think only counts on Election Day. Of course if you can get others to think your way, then, what you think counts for more.
 Progressive talk is called loose talk by those who are too tight to make (a) change.
 Wouldn't it be nice if the newspapers printed more about payology and less about psych- OlOgy.
 Most of the things are bought with wages.
 The more brokers work, the more workers go broke. Foreigners will work SO much cheaper than Americans and Americans can fight so much bet ter than foreigners

OUR COURTS AND THEIR POWER The Second of Series of Comments by New York Supreme Court Justice
 Our One-Man Government
By JOHN R. FORD,
Justice, New York State Supreme
 Court.

AOuTI.
 That the men who are clothed with the power of Supreme Court justices have their owf peculiar views of life and its problems goes without saying. That they are influenced by those views in passing upon questions beclouded by fundamental differences of thought in economic and sociology Is equally true.
 There IS no assurance that the view of select few is the view of majority of the people, yet they are permitted to de- eide those great questions freighted with veal or woe to the millions and estab- fish their views as the law of the land in place of an act of Con gress Their decisions become the law and in effect a part of the constitution itself and may not be changed except through the difficult and protracted pro- cess of amendment to that instrument. l'1et that is the sort of government we are living under today-a government where the will of one man. as in the in come tax case, IS substituted for the will of the people. It took sixteen weary years of persistent effort to amend the constitution to accord with the view of that one man and enact the present in come tax law.
 And even that has been e1nasculated by the Supreme Court in its late deci- ] sion that stock dividends are not taxa ble as income, As consequence all the , big corporations have to do now tc evade paying the income tax is to with hold the payment of dividends or re- duce them to a nominal figure, permit tae1r earnings to accumulate as surp1u: and then distribute those profits in the form of stock dividends The news : papers keep us informed of how this un i fortunate decision works in practice They report daily the endless stream o1 ; stock dividends ranging from 100 to oO( i ner cent of the capital stock which art being declared by corporations all ove1 i the country.

Harding is charged with political i'm
prudence in entering parliamentary
fight in which the odds were against
him. He had served in the Senate.
He knew that the Senate rules put
practical veto in the hands of any
determined minority group. Yet he
did not run away from fight merely
because he had to face the POSSIBLE
ity of defeat.
Americans do not admire sure
thing" leadership. They cannot pump
UP much enthusiasm over a politician
who wants to have all the trumps in
his hand before he plays the game.
Mr.. Harding has the true American
spirit. He does not back out of a
match just because the regulations
give his opponent a handicap Of n
stroke a hole. IL 1t is up to him to
play under such conditions he is will
ing to do so. The thought of losing
does not throw him into a panic.
The President wanted to have a
vote taken in Congress on the merits
of the shipping bill. A Senate min
has been no judgement on the merits.
The efficacy Of the filibuster has
merely been demonstrated once
again.
Time and the economic trend are
on his side. He has done his duty,
simply and automatically. The pub
lie appreciates his straightforward =
ness and sportsmanship. He can af-
ford to stand on his record and await
another test

Mr.. Harding's Leadership

I->tN VI lIlDuleD
It is natural that the shipping
bills enemies should exult in the sue
cess of the ku- kluX tactics by which
ii was SidetraCked. 1t is natural. too
that they should chortle over the
prevention Of vote on the bill as
"a defeat for President Harding"
But they get into deep water when
they predict that the result of the
minority hold-up in the Senate will
weaken him as leader of his party
and lower his prestige with the
country"
With those who say such things
the wish is too pla inly father to the
thought. A hostile judgement of this
sort ignores the lessons of very re-
cent history. President Wilson had
the same experience with shipping
legislation as President Harding has
just had. A Democratic Senate
failed to pass the first Wilson ship
ping commission bill under circum
stances similar to those under which
a Republican Senate has failed to
pass the present shipping bill. A
minority filibuster at the end Of the
short session of 1915 STAYED off a
roll call. Do Democratic critics who
now talk so cheerfully of President
Harding's loss of prestige" contend
that Mr.. Wilson's prestige was meas
ulably lowered by the success Of the
1915 obstructionists?
The country looks at these things
from a broader point of view Mr..

TURKS PLATTER US

Turkey has been very insistent
that she be permitted to live her own
llfe' have her own courts in which to
try the foreigner after the manner of
England and other countries and not
be subjected to supervision; that she
would not permit Greeks or foreign
ers to dwell within her confines in
any considerable numbers.
The natural inference from this
would seem to be that she takes
pride in her Turkish civilization. if
such it may be termed But while
about this she meanwhile accords the
fruits of foreign civilization the sim
cerest flattery by initiating certain of
its phases. These do not include toll
erance or christian charity but in at
tItude toward women are noticeable.
Renal, recently married to an at
tractive woman. is apparently proud
to have her adopt the manners of
her western sisters. entertain her
friends of both sexes at tea in her
beautiful home near Ansora. It is
said her lead is being followed by
other Turkish women of the upper
classes, as might be expected. Evil
dentally the up-keep of a harem of
emancipated women will be another
problem which may serve to divert
turkish minds from the Armenians.
