HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS. The Democratic opposition will not doubt continue to make the most of the Nat Goldstein incident, although his name for internal revenue collector in Eastern Missouri, made upon recommendation of Senator Spencer, has been withdrawn by President Harding. Memories of the Lowdea pre-primary presidential campaign already revived by the minority in the senate are not pleasant. The partisan pretension of abhorrence is absurd, however, because the entire case is an example of the spoils system at work. If such appointments had been habitually made by either party for fitness and qualification instead of politics, there might be reason for affecting being shocked. No president can be expected to make himself personally familiar with the record of candidates for the multitude of posts

to. be filled by appointment. He must rely on someone, and most naturally on the representatives from that state. : The rest of us had forgotten about Goldstein; why not the president? Missouri's senators, both Republican and Democratic, have been frank in trying to place the boys. It is the system that should be blamed and changed.

secretary Hughes, ot Senator Lodge, or former

Senator J. Ham Lewis to remove those hirsute appendages which are the delight of all beholders.

In an enlightened democracy the privilege

allowed to one sex as to attfxo and appearances should bo freely and gladly accorded to the other; bet here coma the school superintendents of nine cities in tb Hudson valley, of New York, with a ukaae against the employment of bobbed-

hair teachers. Manlike they evade the real is

sue by a subterfuge, saying "We can not tell the teacher how to dress her hair, but we don't

havo to giro her a job."

These superintendents, who forgetting the principal function of woman In the world, seem

animated with the desire to. condemn their em' ployes to eternal spinsterhood. ought to have a

care. They are treading on dangerous ground. How will they feel if an outraged female public opinion forms a combine and institutes a boycott

against the schools they control?

AW ATTACK ON BOBED HAIR. To bob or not to hob that is the question which is forcing itself in a very practical way on school teachers of the female persuasion. The constitution, which is so pointedly expressive in so many other directions, is silent on the question of personal adornment, and this fact establishes a prima facie case in favor of individual liberty in such matters. Only on such an assumption can the knee breeches and top hat worn by Colonel Harvey at a recent important social function in London be satisfactorily explained. On the same assumption it would be monstrously unconstitutional to require, say,

HARDING FOR LOWER RATES.

President Harding's invitation' to fifteen of

the leading railroad executives of the country to attend a luncheon at the white- house" and discuss railroad rates Is apparently the sequel to recent reports of railroad earnings. The president is said to Intend to ask the railroads fc reduce rates, and he will be able to point to their earnings as proof that lower rates are possible. . The idea of securing an adequate reduction by the railroads own voluntary action appears to have found favor in administration circle for the reason that the interstate commerce commission has concluded no reduction which it can forco upon the roads would be large enough to satisfy business needs and public sentiment. So the roads are to be begged to do what good business principles to say nothing of public duty, ought to lead them to have done long ago. There is little or no doubt that the rates have for some time been cutting down the vol

ume of general business, and therefore the volume of the railroads' own business. There is no good merchant who does not know there is more money in the end in doing a big volume of business at a moderate or small profit than a small amount of business at a profit perhaps twice as large. General business is picking up encouragingly, as railroad earnings show, but railroad rates are still handicapping recovery and the president cannot urge reduction on the executives too stongly to please the country.

HENRY FORD, it is reported, is looking for a substitute for leather. Well, what was that he got belted with when he ran for the senate?

THERE ARE many, however, who believe that no even the defeat of Jim Reed could redeem the reputation of the Democracy.

THE WOMAN who used to put everything on her back now puts too much trust in her back.

Nearly i.eoo delegates from all parts of the United States are attending the annual convention of th Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and ZnglAtmen at Houston, Texas. The convention win probably last three more weeks. H. I orton is delegate fresa Lodge M B. of L. f. e . located at Hammond. Four clUes, San Francisco, Calif.; Bvanevlll. Ind.; Springfield. III.; and Detroit, MIeh.. are bidding for the next convention. A committee has this under advisement. Houston is showing the visitors a great time. Mayor Oscar F. Holeome delivered

the address of weleome. He praised the high type men included in the organisation and called attention to the aims towards which they are striving. "Economists," he said, "are only reluctantly allowing us to get awy from the old and absurd notion that human labor la but a commodity to be brought and sold as so much beef on the market. But surely and rapidly we are growing to realise that labor Is more than a commodity, that it s human, and that

any man or agency that dees not

make ample allowances for, that human agency is doomed to disaster. "No sooner had the thunder of guns died away on the western front and the railroads had. been handed back to the owners, than we heard a .mighty cry for a reduction in th wages of the workers. During all that time I strained my ears to some on from that side of the fence suggest a cut In the enormous salary of those who own and operate the railroads, but I strained them in vain. I am still listening with patience. "As mayor of a city, I have sometimes 'to wrestle with public service corporations. TMey always insist on a fair earning en the dollars' they have invested in their business, and when we start out to see how many dollars they hav Invested in that business, that is where the clash eomes- It seen that when a corporation puts one dollar In its business It grow to two or three on the books. That is where the fight gets warm. "There are two elements engaged in transportation, each of which must share in the profits accruing frevn that great public service. "One is men you men who do the aetual work. The ether is dollars--Just plain, commoi every-day dollars that provide the tracks, engines, cars and tools with which you work. Each 'must have its part ef the proceeds of its Joint efforts.

"New, if the owners of these dollars eome along and put it ever on th government that they have twice as many dollars invested as they actually have, and they get paid en that basis, then you men must suffer. "If any of you men ahould pad a pay roll that was entrusted to you, you would be likely to get into a State bearding house for a few years. "But I say to you that the corporation that pads its capital account is Just a vicious morally. "That ia one of the problem that confronts your great organliation now. It is one of the problems that

concerns the whole country, which

in the end must stand the burden

ef thofse who would reap unearned

profits and garner where they. have

not sown.

"Some day a great artist will

chisel a wonderful statue to the American worker, and his prototype

will be one of the rail workers of this country the most truly repre

sentative type of American.

"The rail worker of America has

been the pioneer who has pushed forward and reclaimed the wilderness. We speak of Hill and Har-

riman and some of these great railroad builders as "empire builders." They were great generals, but you men have been the privates, the

captains and the coTonels.

"Chilled by the frosts and cold of

winter, and scorched by the burning

sun of summer, you have risked

danger and privations; you have been separated from your families;

you have endured hardships until you have made the railroads this side of th Atlantic the wonder of the civilised world." Edward T. Keating, editor and former congressman, was also one of the principal speakers of the opening sessions. WEST VIRGINIAN ENTERS LONGEST BEARD CONTEST INTCS NATIONAL NEWS SERVICE) MANNINGTON, W.
