RAILROADS YET NEEDED

1t is announced that the War De-
partment has reached the conclusion,
after the wartime experience in
trying to run the railroads of the
country, that in event of another war
it would not take over and operate
the roads, believing that the railroad
men better know how to do that.
No other sensible conclusion would
seem possible from the Govern
ment's experience under Secretary
McAdoo, also the authorities yet
consider rail transportation es-
sential to the backbone Of military
movement and supply. incidentally
we learn that the Importance of the
taxicabs of Paris in getting troops to
the front has been greatly overesti-
mated. That while 500 of these cabs
transported five battalions without
material seven trains carried seven
battalions with their material also
the material for the other five.
This serves as another of many H.
Illustrations Of the need civilization
yet has for transporting trains run
on their own rails by managers and
men who know how to run them.

CONSIDERING DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION RULES

There are many Democrats con-
sidering the fact that the unit rule
in Democratic national conventions
enables Tammany to do things with
the big New York delegation. Never
theless 1t is said representatives
of the candidacy of Governor Smith
and that of Mr.. McAdoo are writing
letters to each other in the hope of
adjusting matters before the next
national convention.
There is evident need of throwing
off the shackles of the two-thirds
rule, also of the unite rule, although
the former gave the country Wood
row Wilson in place of Champ Clark.
On the other hand 1t hoodooed the
last convention and succeeding ones
will be subject to a like menace
unless some Encouragement may be
had. A lot of political dynamite is
kicked about In a convention made
up of representatives of all parts
Of the country while trying to ar
rive at a two thirds majority.
