Hy walkinc oat so nastily, the hot-hads disobeyed their own ofTiCers. iroke their own rules, and ntlanered the very principle of collective bargaining. and th" collective bargain Is one of the main thlnjrs that organized labor is htrhtinK for. It is pointed to bv labor, fcnd some industrialists as a much ensier and effective wav of flealing from both angles, but advocates of the "open shop" are by this act of the railroad men again made leary of the process, and its progress has b"tn set back Just that far. Th" doctrine of a "sol, are deal" does not admit of crooked dealing on th.? part of anyone, and rhe autocracy of labor is no more o he tolerated than the autocracy of (apital, or vice versa.

HISTORIES OF THE WAR. Already the book shop shelves are piled with histories of the wur, find book agents are ringing the door hells of the houses or working their way into offices to sell fhera. No doubt there are some among all the multitude of publications which have merit. They may be moderately accurate or comprehensive or Interesting. Hut to pretend that in so short a time after the great conflict there can be any true history of il would be absurd. It will take time, the advantage of further perspective, much Kathe-iug and comparing of data, to put upon the market anything which even faintly approaenes a finished :.itory. Not until many a long year has parsed will all'the idence be in. There were countless happenings, ieaons for movements, political intrigues, which r- imly now beginning to see the light of day. it took half a century for historians to understand and do justice to the French Revolution. Current histories of this war may be useful but only as tenipora-y makeshifts.

AMERICAN MEALS. American hotel stewards, in convention at Chiago. have decided to bsnish the hyphen from their menus and serve "distinctly American meals" It is not so much a question of food which is alreadv pretty thoroughly American as of the nomenclature. Peas are not to be set down as "petits pois," nor cutlets as "coute!ets," nor cream as 'creme," nor coffee as "cate;" and if there are any goose-livers on the- hill of fare, they will be railed by their every-day names instead of being disguis-d as "pate de foie gras." This is encouraging to people who have long fhied at being compelled to rat in the French language when it is ho much more conducive to sound digestion to pick out and eat their victuals In plain American. Hut the hotel people have promised to do this before, and failed. Can they be trusted now to Americanize their nv"nus?

THE WAY OF CONGRESS. Congress generally tackles a critical problem by ordering an Investigation, then rests until the results are reported, and then receives and files away the report and proceeds comfortably to forget all about it. Along about that time, the situation. having grown as bad as it could possibly pet. beprins to improve, as a result of natural processes and private initiative, and it isn't necessary to do anything. Wherefore the congressmen go home and tell shout what they have accomplished.

Two more Hritish generals have been promoted to the rank of field marshal And the United States congress is still undecided whether or not it can afford to raise any American to the permanent rank of general or dmlral.

It's a por time to advocate government ownership of railroads.

TiiK n Trim or ruusriu: iv uitv (lnrlorn Independent.) Many men who do not drink are not smokers. Many drinkers are smokers. Many smokers like to (IrinK after they have fmoked themselves Into a try ftate. Th-s- things nevertheless do not foreshadow an immediate national campaign against smoking. The liiuor forces have predicted this, and every few days they predict it anew. They warned us in the old days that the extinction of saloons and growlers meant the eventual destruction of "all pleasure in life." It is trie that the same forces which brought about prohibition could bring about the limitation or suppression of cigarets and possibly of all use of tobacco as deleterious. But what were the forces which brought about prohibition? They were the roters of the United States. One would think from some lingering liquor arguments that prohibition was the work of a few. when the votes of the dj states show that it was the signal triumph of the many. Prohibition, as an issue at th- polls, was not even c.rriod by the votes of the "drys" alone. We had among us drys and moists and wets. We had total abstainers, men who use it for medicine, men who drink every Foiirfh of July, men who drink every week, men who drinu every day. men who drink every mnl. men who drink between meals. And it is not too much to say that a majority of every one of these classes voted for prohibition in most of our stater. Prohibition is no outsiders law. It is no dictators' law. It is our law. It is supported by reason and science ar.d sentiment and sense. And the danger to toba-co ;s not in nny movement or In any or-j.::tn:;-:-tior. If there is any danger to tobacco it is in the hi:;g itself. Scier.t'.sts are finding out more and more about tobacco .r. l its effect.. If there should come a time wi.ni a'.l eience will pronounc it a poison, the end of its i.sc fä r be frTo-fn. Hut while some may bo ;j'readv convinced, that it is a poison, and while tho.i-va'.s btl'.ew the c;?aret is danccrous, it is not th- c"g; ri'i 1 prohih . ir,:vis:s who wiM be the menace if the use of r.ico'Ine is ever menaced. The dan-j'-r ' i;" be in. the aroused and educated voter, wht'hrr ho tf a rr.ok-r or not. Th- lnrrts -.-ho fear tho eventual prohibition cf tobacco h .ve only r.e thine: to fenr; that science will collect a body f facts which will move the peopl- as the facts concerning i.:r.-hol and the saloon moved them. And if the people vote out anything they wii! ft el as they did when they oted out the .i.tlocn. that this will not destroy any pleasure in l'.fe. but will rather Increase and multiply life's real and permanent joys.

More Truth Than Poetry By James J. Montague AN ESSAY ON CLAMS. A little neck clam, who was far from loquacious Used to ride on the tide in a bay. And his friends all believed him extremely sagacious Because he had little to -jay. "He doesn't waste hours in argument futile,' Cried the mussels that basked in the sun. 'He knows that loose talk is in vain and inutile. He's a long-headed son-of-a-gun." This habit of cutting out all conversation Wherever he happened to be Soon gained for the clam widespread reputation As the wisest old fish in the sea. Crustaceans and bivalves looked on him with wonder. And pilgrims repaired to his home To poke in the sand he lay slumbering under Ar;d gaze at his marvelous dome. But when an old man with a spade and a a I a dreener Came down to the beach at low tide. The lobsters and crabs, with affrighted demeanor. Stepped nimbly and deftly aside. ' While the taciturn clam they had fancied so knowing For the reason his words were but few. The following evening was busily throwing A fit as he boiled in a stewl You've often met clams in your daily relations Untalka tive. reticient guys, WTio somehow achieve rather big reputations Because they sit round and look wise. Their silence was golden they profited by it. But this fact, nothwithstanding, remains: The actual reason that kept them so quiet Was their lack of all semblance of brains! (Copyright, 1919).
