THE RAILROAD STRIKE.
Every citizen will draw a breath of relief that President Wilson's plan for preventing the railroad strike has appealed to congress as efficacious and logical, and the unanimity of the vote, $89 for the bill and 56 against it, shows that the president's plan is working out with the popular endorsement of the people. This is further demonstrated by the fact that seventy republican members in the house and the one socialist member voted for it. This predominant sentiment will leave no Mem for the charge that the president Is coercing either congress or the railchiefs. The threatened, strike of--a crisis which justified the use of the government's most free and widest •ppwers. The course of congress indii fefctes that there Is a strong public sentlment 1$ favor of the demands of the condition emphasised by the
Course ofthe president in the entire natter.' The process of adapting the Adainson bill to the situation assures that the country is saved from any precipitate and^Jrastlc action, and as•ures.to both the men and the railroads ithe fullest Justice than can be evolved out of the situation which, for a few days was so fraught with menace to the commercial prosperity of the country and the social contentment of the Nation.
REAL CONSERVATIVE.
Speaking of your conservatives, take a iglance at Georgia, whose house of representatives yesterday killed a bill that was disposed to discourage,lynchin#. The measure was not at all dras-
J«/ It did not provide for the punishof lynchers or for the'criminal
WAN
H?
jpl®
complaisant or weak-
wfeed ^officials who are responsible for fallure "ta protect prisoners. It merely stipulated that thev sheriff of a county in which a lynching took place should be removed from office.
It was really little more than an .demic expression of disapproval of •the popular pastime. But Georgia does not disapprove of lynching, and the members of the legislature are repre sentative of Georgia sentiment. The 29 out of 142 whd voted for the bill are spokesmen for the intelligent and enlighteqpd minority which is to be found in any benighted American community.
It requires great optimism to hold fast to the faith that such communities out in time work out their own salvatlon and establish themselves on a
plane of modern civilisation. Yet there is no other way. Coercion ia impossible. Each lynching, and each expression of popular approval of lynching, carries its own penalty in lowering a state's or a town's reputation yet those men of the south who are most fiery in their championship of southern excellences are not infrequent apologists for mob murder.
It may, perhaps, be a hopeful sign that such a bill has been even introduced in the Georgia legislature. The Prank murder and the many subsequent lynching* have given Georgia a notoriety far from profitable, and the defeated bill undoubtedly expressed a desire to end the general belief that Georgia is a lawless land. The sad part of it is that the desire is so far from representing the sentiment of the majority.
IT'S A LONG LANE.
A one man revolution has started in Chicago. A waiter weary of being the perpetual "goat," has joined the offensive. He has begun suit against a guest of the dining room where he serves, charging him with alleged de* famation of character and asking $2,000 as a recompense for the socalled affront. The aggrieved waiter declares that on the occasion in question the guest applied to him several unpleasant epithets.
It will have to be admitted that this sensitive complainant is upsetting the traditions and habits of a limited number of hotel diners. To abuse the menu and blame the waiter is- an important part of their creed. If the steak is tough the waiter is' at fault. If there is no more pie the waiter gets the blame. The concentrated disapproval of the house, the system, the manager and the chef, is unloaded by the captious diner on the head of the patient waiter. Tet the chances are strong that the waiter, like the piano in the western barroom, is doing his best and doesn't deserve to be shot at.
Happily the number of guests who thus vent their spleen and advertise their personal importance, is growing smaller. There was an age when the street car conductors suffered from the tongues of the passengers for all the shortcomings of the management. That custom has become antiquated.
In -time, no doubt/ the small minority of diners who expend their irritability upon the waiter may realise that their displays of temper are unwise and unmanly. Perhaps the action of that Windy City waiter will advance this realization.
There is ho nuisance cheaper or more obnoxious than the baiter of the restaurant waiter.
WHAT OF THE DIME?
A reader of the Tribune who got on the street car the other day with two dimes in some pocket somewhere could not find them when tle conductor came around, he says, so he wants to know why the government keeps on making this pesky coin. He writes: "Can anybody tell us what particular use there is in a dime that is not Served by two nickels? Why should the United States keep on coining these little silver pieces that nine times out of ten we have to change before we can use them? When you want to use a slot telephone, a dime is a nuisance. When you board a street car or confront a pay window on the elevated, it
There is no necessity of paying $1500 to $2000 for an automobile.
Here is one for $635 that gives you all you need. It seats five comfortably. Has a big, powerful 31H horsepower motor has electric lights and electric starter and
is a nickel you want, oot a dime. How much time is lost when a crowd is boarding a street car because of the necessity of converting dimes into nickels before fares are paid? "Aside from sodas and certain other drinks of a limited number, how many things are there for which you pay an even dime? An occasional cigar, perhaps. Dimes have a mysterious way of losing themselves. In the dark you are apt to give the newsboy a dime Instead of a penny when you buy your sporting extra. "Why not abolish the dime and make more nickels
This reasoning is in a measure plausible, but not so much so as it would have been ten or more years ago before the movies and the 10-cent store became such enormous hoppers for dimes. That's where the dimes go now, and perhaps part of the wonderful success of those two institutions is due to the people's inability to otherwise spend their dimes.
We distinctly remember that tubular dime savings banks made of nickel once had a great run because no one knew what to do with his 10-cent pieces. Not being able to spend them except at some inconvenience, one must necessarily save them. They Were even wasted as bangles, which required the boring of holes in them, thus making them useless as coins forever afterward.
But all that was before the movie and the 10-dfcnt sto% came into vogue to relieve us of these bits of sliver. Now, with the $2 bill, the situation is quite different. No one wants a bill of that denomination if he can get two "ones." We all love "ones."
A Chicago student has perfected a boomerang that can be thrown 600 feet and will then come back. But it can't compare for distance with the political boomerang.
The New York Bar association asks for laws to prevent needless lawsuits. One by one our favorite indoor sports are being legislated out of existence.
A strike is rumored of the Teddy Bear Makers' union. It Is probably a sympathetic strike with the bull mooses, who have already gone out.
A glance at the costumes cm the beaches leads the observer to believe that the Bremen and her cargo of dyes are not needed at present.
An Ohio farmer is perfecting a process of making flour out of hay. Well, why not? They already make breakfast food out of it.
Ah eastern man asserts that his wife put needles in his soup. No, he doesn't add that they gave him a stitch In the side.
No new docks' have been secured for the expected Bremen. This looks ominous, or else the supply is exhausted.

HOROSCOPE.
"The Stare Incline, B-jt Do f»t Compel/' Copyright. 1915. by the McClur*
Newspaper Syndicate.
Sunday, September 3,1916.
Evil and good combine in this day's influences, according to astrology. Early in the morning Saturn and Uranus are adverse, but later Venus rules kindly.
It is a time for routine thought as well as action, as plans, made under this configuration are apt to be disappointing.
The rule is not good for the aged or for those who desire the power of concentration.
Undue depression, fear, gloom and dissatisfaction are supposed to breed under this rule of the stars, which often encourages hasty action and even suicides.
One should not sell, buy or invest while this rule prevails. Have no dealings with landlords, builders or mines.
There is a belief that new undertakings begun during this configuration will prbgress far enough to cause regret and even losses.
Strikes in mines or excavations are probable, the seers predict. Labor troubles of all sorts will become serious in the next I'ew weeks. Bloodshed and great property loss are indicated for this month.
There is a rule said to stimulate criticism of public institutions. Libel suits again are prognosticated.
Congress has a forecast of change in personnel which will be surprising. Defeats in unexpected districts are indicated.
Woman suffrage comes under a government of the stars which is likely to produce extraordinarily good results through indirect influences connected with the national campaign.
Uranus gives warning of friends who are not trustworthy. The stars foreshadow much treachery among persons Mtherto most honorable.
Forgery is one of the crimes likely to be prevalent in the next few months. There is a forecast of a national alarm concerning vice and diseases produced by unclean living. A London seer predicts shocking revelations.
Persons whose birthdate it is should not travel or remove in the next year. They should be careful of accident or injury.
Children born on this day may be inclined to be reckless and venturesome. These subjects of Virgo are likely to be quick tempered, but care ful and likely to act with forethought.

O COME WITH ME.
O come with me to the winding road That bespeaks in its passing the country side, Whose wild rose edge boasts its pinkblush load,
And whose neighboring hills border' far and wide. Where the ditch, o'^r-brimmed with morning rain,
Draws the iris and sedge to its pulsing breast SVhere the fledglings rise and fall again.
And flutter and strive for the sycamore nest.
Sweet lanes there are, where the fowl Bet free, Seeks the quiverless leaf where the insect mopes. And steeps where the ancient lonely tree, Wins the new-shorn sheep from, the blossoming slopes.
We will find old mills, whose mouldy beams Have forgotten the whirr of the wheels below, And rocks where the wild bird rests and dreams
And echoless cliffs where the columbines grow,
O come, the world is so strangely fair, And the sting of itB anguishing ills grows less The spirit of God is everywhere.
And his cherubims dwell in the wilderness. -—By Rosa A. Langtry.
