THE BIG I8SUE.

Warren G. Stone, chief of the largest of the brotherhoods, appears in the A. Sunday papers as denouncing the awards made by the board of arbitra tion which considered the case of the 98 western railroads and their 65,000 3 employes. His chief complaint Is that -v_j the dominant sentiment of the arbl gh ters was inimical to the employes and '*i favorable to the railroad corporations.

The case suggests the failure of voluntary arbitration and th'e transfer of such prerogatives to the inter-state commerce commission at some future day.

The call for expert investigators is so imperative as to require little argument. In the first place the merits of i'Vj the immediate issues need to be studied by those who possess the necessary g-tl qualifications, and all the facts that Cj'A would be helpful In creating an enlightened public opinion should be disclosed. Mediators and arbitrators, limited as they have been in time, and restricted to issues directly submitted, have in most cases confined themselves to the immediate wage contract. As a .. consequence one adjustment has been of little or no assistance for the next. f- It might well be one of the functions such a body to niake the public realize that a reasonable wage is iriipossible of attainment. We need much

enlightenment on such fundamental Issues as the relation of wages to cost 4 of living, and to railway operating efficiency. Such questions as the followare demanding Intelligent answers: Mis there any logical relation between raiway wages and railway, output? be'^8 tween wages and the capacity and efi». ficienry of the plant? For example, is •*~^TKere any proper connection between a "•trainman's wages and an increase in trainload? between an engineer's wages

and an increase in tractive power? Again,

hawe

the risks and responsibil

ities of trainmen increased or decreasJ^ed with the introduction of modern ^operating tools and methods? Ia the working life of a trainman shorter than that o^ his fellow worker in similar industries outside? How does the railway employe's wage compare with that mfrHrrTii 1 in other highly skilled occupations? Are the brotherhoods receiving wages out of proportion to those of other classes of railway labor?

Is there and should there be any relation between railway wages and rail-

way revenue? Is the question of fair wages involved with the questions of fair1 interest and fair profits?

A group of permanent investigators would develop skill in weighing evidence, would build up a body of (valuable precedent, would accumulate an experience that would be enriched constantly with the passing of years. For these labor struggles move in cycles, and the issues that investigators had passed upon would appear again in familiar form as the basis for later demands.

CENSORING THE MOVIES.

It Is not surprising that Kansas should adopt a moving picture censorship of the narrowest and strictest character. On the ground that children are the chief patrons of the movies all scene of drunkenness, drinking, barrooms, or anything connected with the liquor business are prohibited, also scenes of crime or rascality.

That these exclusions will be more drastic even than those of the Chicago censorship, which has been perhaps the strictest in the country, seems evident.. The plan may prove highly beneficial to the moving picture business. This might sound paradoxical, but there are some notions which have become associated with the movies that pall on the average spectator and the new Kansas law deals with one of them. Most movie authors, if there was a bit of mischief, malfeasance or murder to be done, promptly flash the saloon scene, the mischief maker or murderer is duly filled up on liquor and is ready for his nefarious work. It matters not whether the job to be done is to wreck a bank or push a go-cart off a cliff, the movie author feels that the effect is lacking if it is not preceded with a "Jag" scene in several reels, reels being used advisedly. The Kansas law may promote originality fn this respect. Something say, like the villan taking too much horseradish, or a mad dog biting him on the leg. The life of the movies depends on noivelty. In the case In point they have gone to seed.

WONDERFUL GERMANY.

Today's news indicates that the Germans have not only halted the allies' big May day drive in Flanders, but that the allies are actually on the defensive and have sustained enormous losses. No matter what, one's sympathies in the war, there is nothing but admiration for the single purpose and vigor that has characterized the Germans' preparedness and action.

Germany is not yet on the defensive. She is not daunted by the increasing numbers of her enemies. Along her own eastern front she is holding the Russians at bay German reinforcements have made it possible for the Austrians to keep the invaders from penetrating into Hungary in Alsace, in the Vosges, and in Champagne the soldiers of the kaiser are holding their own against the aggressive French. Yet, with all these points strongly held, the German strategists found it possible to mass an immense army in Belgium for the Flemish drive. The world understands the great mobility of the German army and the almost perfect transportation facilities at the command of the strategists, but still ia

amazed at the rapidity and effectiveness of an army which can mass great numbers at any given point without apparently weakening itself at any other point.

The drive in Flanders was doubtless a reply to Kitchener's very apparent threat of an important British aggressive movement in that region. Instead of strengthening their defense and awaiting the blow, the Germans struck first. They struck with such power that the British plans were completely balked. Instead of proceeding with preparations for "driving the Germans out of Belgium" the allies must now fight to regain the ground they have lost.

HOW" CHARITY WORKS.

The story has gone the rounds of a foreigner who came to this city some time ago and went Into business. One day he sent a handsome oriental rug out to a woman prominent In Terre Haute club affairs with the message that she might either send a check for $50 or return the rug. "But why," asked the woman over the phone, and with some annoyance, "did you put me to the necessity of doing anything at all about It? I did not order the rug and do not see why I should be put to the trouble of calling you up about it one way or the other." "Oh," replied the merchant "I had thought that that was the way to do business here. I had received so many tickets for charity entertainments from you with the same request."

Alas, we cannot Vouch for the truth of the story. It is plain enough, though, that it was told to point a moral.

But, after all, when you get right down to what the moral is, perhaps it has not so much to do with the method of selling the tickets as the fact that we are put to the necessity of having the entertainment.

It resolves Itself into a question of whether or not we are, going to learn some time to look existing needs squarely in the face and defvlse a rational plan of meeting them, or must we go along indefinitely being tricked or pleasantly entertained into meeting these needs?..

FROM THE SKIES.

Twenty bombs were dropped around Epinal, France, yesterday by German Zeppelins. No one was killed and the only damage done was the starting of two small fires. Friday a like raid was made on Ipswich and English coast $owns. Interest in these attacks dwindles with the discovery of their ineffectiveness.

At the beginning of the war the Zeppelins were the Englishman's greatest fear. He had visions of a powerful air armada Invading the British atmosphere and dropping enough explosive on London to wreck or destroy the world's metropolis. There seemed to be no reason why such a raid should not be wholly successful. But the raid was not made and the British stay-at-homes gradually slept more easily.

Finally the aircraft did come, but not as a great fleet. They came singly, or in twos and threes. They stayed near the coast and dropped bombs on unimportant villages. A few structures were damaged, but no one was killed. London remained immune from attack.

Now the Zeppelin has become somewhat of an old story. It comes from time to time and is very Irritating, but It works no great havoc and is no longer dreaded. It is an unimportant incident In the great war and has absolutely no effect on the progress of the conflict. Not unless London or Manchester or Birmingham is bombarded will the British be really terrified. Like many other perils, the menace of the Zeppelin seemingly becomes Insignificant once it is known and understood.

In addition to the facial play and the avoirdupois, John Bunny had a name that has rarely been equaled for humorous advertising purposes—and it was his real name, too.

"In three generations there will be no prisons," says Bourke Cochran. What will we do with the fellows we dislike, in that day?

The chances are ten to one that the moving picture patrons will pronounce Geraldine Farrar's name just as her father did.

Today it is well to be conservative in all things,- but late in the evening selling is under a benefic sign, the astrologers announce. Early in the morning Uranus is mildly benoflc in aspect and after sundown Jupiter gains power for good.

Under the prevailing sway of Uranus, the planet that rules the intuitive Intellect, an increasing creuulity in all that is occult will be apparent, the seers declare. A widespread growth in spiritism will be apparent, literary men and women as well as artists of every class leading among the converts.

The rise of a leader in finance again is foreshadowed by the stars. This man will belong tp the west.

It is foretold that although all efforts of women interested in the peace movement may prove futile at this time, they will lead to one of the greatest organizations in history.
