WE WONDER NOW It is currently reported among the friends of Governor Cox in Dayton that there never was a meetinjg between Cox and Wilson at the White House t-ev.ral days nco. When Cox called the president wa ' Indisposed" and Cox transacted business with Tumulty, who is really president of th United States today. The story may rr may not be true, but it i interesting in that it reflects a condition in Washintm which actually exists and which is well known by thous-inds of people mpr the rountrv.

FINED FOE REFUSING KECORDS. The chief of police of Cleveland. O., has been 'sentenced to 30 days in Jail or $100 fine for refusing to open the recorda of his office to newspapers. This may appear surprising at first, but the ccurt acted upon a sound principle, a principle sound not only in law but in public policy and good morale. Records of public officials must be open to public inspection. Whatever affects the public should be a matter of public information. No branch of our government should be secret, says tae Plymouth Democrat. There are abuses of newspaper privileges, of
course, but no such abuse could be as great as that of a I
public official who locks the records of his office and refuses to permit newspaper men tD ascertain the tacts as to what he is doing. Newspaper men know that whenever a public official refuses to make public facts In his possession as to the public business his purpose is for one or two reasons to hide either corruption cr inefficiency. Anything that Is all right will stand the light of publicity. Newspaper men know this and citizens generaly are beginning to recognize it, too. The Cleveland court which fined the police head for contempt evidently realized it and acted upon it.

- CRITICIZING THRIFT. One of the charges brought by the Federal Trade Commission against" the meat packers was that they put part of their profits back into the business, thus gradually extending it and bringing it to its present immense proportions. The same accusation might be made against the owners of our telegraph and telephone systems, our railroad systems, and all other large enterprises. Theodore N. Vail, who died recently, began life as a telegraph operator at a small weekly wage. Alexander H. Bell invented the telephone, and Vail had the imagination, the energy and the thrift to make it a business success. He put his own savings into the development of telephone service. He encouraged others to Invest their savings, and from their profits they extended the system. Not all the money that went into telephone development was the savings from telephone business, but it was the savings from some kind of enterprise, and It matters not what, so long as the savings were honestly acquired. Without profits accumulated profits there clearly could not be any accumulation of funds with which to carry on large undertakings. "A penny saved is a penny earned," was one of the aphorisms with which Benjamin Franklin used to encourage thrift among his neighbors. But no penny could be more useless than the Idle penny. Re-investing the saved pennies is what makes the world of industry and trade move on and up in its development. If Vail and his co-labcrers In the construction of telephone lines had earned no net profit, or, having earned it. had failed to put it back into business, the telephone system of the United Stat.e3 could now be operated from one switchboard. It would be interesting to know whether the members of the Federal Trade Board had any net profits from their private business before they accepted positions in the government service, and, if they had any net profits, what they did with them. What did any of them do to make two dollar's worth of business exist where only one dollar's worth existed before?

possible to do so. -and the war department believes that the majority of them will be li-coered through the publicity plan proposed, it is a duty that is owed to the men and women. who tendered service to the government in time of war. Men who refused to respond, to th call to sen ice after they had been enrolled and a'-.-igned to duty may have to face desertion charges if they arc dijiovered. and they will probably find that they were the insert in evading their obligations to the government. The war department has taken plenty of time to make up the list of persons, who are charged with evasion of military duty. There will be erro;s to be coiested. of course, and the widest publicity is being given to tho proposed publication of the names rf draft evaders, in order that no individual bo ut.ju.-Uy represented.

What the Unauthorized and LightningLike Strike Might Have Meant to You and Me
"hen the switchmen's outjaw strike came without warning last April it irnmediately began to cripple industries, throw thousands of men out of work, and threaten the food supply cf every large city east of Kansas City.
Inasmuch as-that strike has taken its place in history with the series of other unsuccessful blows by the radicals at the public welfare, it is disclosing no secret to say that had not the danger been throttled when it was that widespread and gravest distress would have ensued. It was, indeed, a very critical time.
Had not an instant check been applied to the situation, conditions tantamount to a state of siege in war time might have resulted: Food would have run short in the large cities and their suburbs; people undoubtedly would have had to line up for food ration cards.
Sensing the danger, railway officials of all ranks and loyal employes stepped into the breach. They worked day and night, and although at first the milk supply of the cities was imperiled- the thought of the suffering that must come, especially to women and children, spurred these workers to do their utmost, to put in long hours without complaint.
So complex has modern civilization made our daily life that even in less congested cities railroads must be depended upon as the final sustaining source of food distribution. Should there, be paralysis of railway traffic it would be merely a question of a few days until the gravest consequences would develop. And a blow at a key railroad, like the Indiana Harbor Belt Line, which welds trunk systems of East and West into transcontiaental routes for the movement of perishable foodstuffs a rail bridge, as it were, between Western and Eastern United States is a blow at national security itself.
