Southern Railway.

SOutntrn NiitNd.s
New York, Aug. 1.-The July
gross earnings figsres for the South
ern Railway system made known to-
day showed further striking evidence
of an increase in the volume of bust
ness. Indications are that the
amount earned on the stock during
July will be shown TO have been well
up TO the amount earned in other
recent months. There has been talk
of dividend on Southern Railway
before. the year is out, but opinion
seems to be divided as to the likeli-
hood of such action. Some persons
think it improbable that Southern
Railway will make any disbursement
to shareholders during 1923. in spite
of the high rate of earnings. The
company has aimed TO conserve its
resources.

The world rarely takes its hat on
~ any man who didn't early take his
coat off.-Forbes Magazine IN. ~
HOW MAKE BEST OF IT

1.-THE administration Of the fleet
was not remotely competent. ANY
utteranee that might be more express
siye than this given by Mr.. Lasker,
the retiring head Of the Shipping
Board, would be hard to find. And
vet he adds: THE reasons for this
failure were neither obscure nor un-
natural.
Think Of a Government managed
business in which the deficits were
mounting to Axteen million dollars a
month, with many hundreds OF &C
countants in the pay of the Govern
ment who couldn't tell why their SER
vices were being retained, meanwhile
the bookkeeping service being made
quate even for a petty business. To
quote Lasker: 1.-THE smallest private
business could have boosted a more
accurate control Of its affairs. Think
Of claims to the amount Of a hundred
and fifty million dollars "of which no
adequate record existed.
Is it any wonder that Mr.. Lasker's
convictions respecting the undesira-
bility Of Government ownership were
deepened by his experience with it?
And whom should we place our con-
fidence in, those who like him have
had experience, who have made it as
much a success as it is possible to do,
who have tested its shortcomings from
A to z. or shall we place our trust In
one like McAdoo, for instance, who
50 mismanaged the railroad system OF
the country that it has not yet fully
recovered from it, who made it the
tail of his political kite, who refused
to hx rates that would pay the run
ming expenses Of the roads but would
raise wages as demanded by the la
Dor leaders?
The former made the best Of the
Government ownership, which he dis
likes, the latter made mess Of 1t,
though still proclaiming his fondness
for it.
Lasker regards a merchant marine
for this country as indispensable BILE. In
this he finds many OF like mind. He
does not believe this can be made
successful by Government ownership
and proposed an alternative which
Congress would not accept. He now
tells US government ownership being
the only alternative, how we may go
ahead with it to the best possible ad-
vantage. Having reduced the month
ly deficit from sixteen to four millions
he would seem qualified to give ad
vice worth listening to.

Socialists Stirred
By EX-German Prince

Berlin, May 20 CA. +. by MaiD-
Prince Eitel Friedrich. the second
son of eX-Emperor Wilhelm II of
Germany, has recently created a
number OF new knights of Honor in
the Order Of St. John. of which he is
supreme commander for Brandenburg
province. and has thereby created as
well the usual annual uproar among
the socialists.
There are several angles about this
yearly action of the prince that the
German radicals do not like, all
though they do not express any fund
amental objections to the original or
ganizatioi itself. which dates back to
the sixteenth century days Of Greg
DRY the Great in Jerusalem.
In the first place, with the Hohen-
zollerns in the discard, the socialists
disapprove OF Eiters action in still is.

Secondly, the socialists regard "as
monarchistic masquerading", the an-
nual ceremony of knightirg, with its
hoNsng robes and plume crested hats
Yet Gaping the climax in the radi-
Gals eyes IS the fact that the new
knights include not only officers OF
the old monarchical army but even
members OF republican Germanv.s

(Public Ledger
No long and wearisome arguments
are necessary to damn the twelve

is no need to appeal to emotionalism
or morality or religion in attacking it.

teachings of religion. The Federal
Council of Churches. the National
Catholic Welfare Council and the
Central Conference of American Rab-
bis. in a joint statement say all of
these things, and much more, of the

items can be defended and, maybe.
proved by the organizations making
them.
But the only thing needed to smas
the steel industry's defense OF its
t~elve-hour day is the fact that
twelve hours is more hours than any
man should work, one day after an .
other, at any hard or heavy manual
labor. Those who defend it have new

It is foolish for the steel kings to

not object to twelve hour day.

the physical strain of such labor
there can be no argument. Steel it.
