THE PRESIDENT'S PROGKAM
TItn rnllroad program urged by tho
President on tho ovo of tho threatened
strike Is ngntn presented In his nddress
to Congress with an appeal for speedy
action, but thero Is a feature of. It which
bo now withdraws. That Is tho "explicit
approval by tho Congress of tho consid
eration by tho Interstate Cornmnrro Com
mission of nn Increase of freight rates
to meet nucli additional expenditures by
(ho railroads as may havo been icmlercd
necessary by tho ndoptlon of an eight
hour day and which havo not been olTsot
by administrative readjustments ami
economics, should tho facts disclosed
Justify tho Increase."
This recommendation Mr. IVIhon eayn
hn does not now deem It necessary to
ronow. Tho power of tho commission to
grnnt ralo Increases "Is Indisputably
clear," and tho recommendation "might
nocm to draw In question tho scopo of
tho commission's nuthnrlty or Its Inclina
tion to do Justlro when thero Is no reason
to doubt either."
To tho well Informed thoro never was
any technical reason for tlio rceommen-
datlon In tho first plnco. It BorveM Inci
dentally, however, na n quick anil easy
urgumont for tho President's followers
during tlio cnmpalgu A Hughes man
would say that Congress was going
beyond Its recognized authority to faior
tho employes. "Ah, but CongrcsB Is going
boyond Its iccognlzcd authority to favor
tho railroads, too." n Wilson man would
rojoliu Tho sop to tlio railroad- served,
In n way, to balnnco tho nop to tho
workers. Many will construe tho can
oollng of "moral support" for rato In
creases as a rcbuko to tho railroads for
having sought to Invnlldato tho so utlled
eight-hour law. Hut It In not front tho
railroads that protests nro now to bo ex
pected. They leavo their coho to tho
Supremo Court. It Is from labor that
objections nro likely to coutu.
Organized labor, which linn embraced
tho trnlnmon's cnuso as Its own, does not
want "full public Investigation" before
n strlko or lockout "muy lawfully bo
attempted " Hut the President's reasons
for delaying what would amount to u
form of civil war seems Incontrovertible.
"Tho concerted action of powerful bodies
of men Khali not bo permitted to stop
tho Industrial processes of tho nation."
This wbh his ground for stopping tho
strlko. If It does not continue to bo tho
ground for permanently compelling both
railroads and employes to pormlt "tho
Justlflablo safeguarding by society ot tho
necessary processes of Its very life," It
would be better to risk a strike than
abandon the principle.
ASQurrn conciliator in chief
IT IB now certain that the British Cab
inet will be "reconstructed" Prcmlor
Asqulth's announcement in the Commons
that tho King had given his consent
means tbnt Mr. Asqulth has concluded
that It Is necessnry to bow beforo tho
storm nnd conclllnto tho disaffected. Ills
request that tho Houso adjourn until
Thursday means that ho wishes tlmo to
mako tho adjustments necessary. Ills
success will ilipcud upon tho willingness
of Lloyd Gcorgo to co-opernto.
It Is unthlnkablo tbnt any iciponsiblo
British statcsmnn will permit his personal
ambitions to Blond In tho way of nn
adjustment of tho tlirremnces In tho min
istry. They nro nil Intensely Interested
In tho successful prosecution of tho war,
and havo subordinated for tho tlmo tholr
partisan differences.
Tho first reconstruction of tho Ministry
brought In representatives of tho parlia
mentary Opposition. Tho present rccon
structlon must go deopcr thnir n changn
In tho porsonnel, for tho lnsuei now
involved relate to methods and only Inci
dentally to men. Mr. Asqulth has suc
ceeded In straightening out pretty serious
tangles in tho pnst. Ho may succeed in
this instance without hnvlng to resign
his scat at tho bend of tho Cabinet table.
SPEAKER AND OOVEKNOIt
rnnn Oovcrnor Is right In demanding a
- progresslvo Hpenker to protect, en
courage nnd expedite tho moaaurcs which
the people expect him to put upon tho
statutei books. But whether Mr. Cox,
whom he Indorses, or Mr, Haldwln, whom
by Implication ho opposes, la chosen Is
not the fundamental question, ror the
choice of u Speaker Indifferent to or moro
or less opposed to a, progresilvo program
would in no way relievo Mr. Ilrumbaugh
of full responsibility.
It Is truo that tho leglslatlvo function
rests with the legislature. It la none
the less truo that an executive ot tho
same party as tho majority stands or falls
with that majority's record. Ho Is choson
directly by the whole electorate of tho
State. Tho Ttcpresentatlves are chosen
by small distrlots, They aro not responsi
ble to the wholo people. The executive is
tho watchdog of the lawmaking body. Ho
can advertise broadcast Its least blunder
or negligence, and what ho Bays, dis
played on the first pages of the news
papers, commands tho respectful atten
tion of all citizens.
Tho harmony that the Governor hones
will prevail through the leadership of Mr
Cox Is a harmony th can prevail
through Mr. Urumbaugh, unless. Imlwd,
a number of legislators are thinking of
retiring to prlte life under the stigma
of base disloyalty to the party that chose
an executive with the idea that he was
Srogresslve. Tho President in recent
years has eanie more and more to bear
the brunt Qf tba errors of Congress The
State Oovornmeut is more administrative
than legislative much more so than the
Federal Government. The division be

Average annual earnings are J1750 for

HOYS AND CIGARETTES
7o Iho Killtor of the liicnlng Ledger
Mr I have read In this evening's I.nnacn
tha letter written by "Mother," who asks
concerning tho regulations supposed to gov
ern tho ralo of tobneco to children Tho
fact Is that no city has bettor protectlvo
laws tlmn Phllndelphta, and In no city are
they less observed There nro threo reason-!
for this
rirat Wo can blame the parents who do
not aeo to It that their children do not
smoke It Is certain that very many boys
smoke without the knowledge of their par
ents, and this Is particularly true In well-to-do
neighborhoods, where the most bla
tant offenders ore to be found If parents
kept a better oversight and lf more of
them made It really Interesting for those
ivho sell cigarettes to their boys, or the
"making," It Is likely thnt tho offenders
would become duly cautious
Second AVe can blnme tho police them
scIvph. The writer has seen ninny young
Htett Rinokliig npenl In the presence of
policemen PcrhnpB these latter aro not
nwnro ot the law. Two or three Juvenile
smokers residents In a suburb notorious
ly vvealtlo told tho undersigned a little
limn ago tnm tlio police In thnt neighbor
hood simply would not dnro arrest any
boy going to tho prlvnto neademy attended
by them It seemed obvious to them thnt
Interference on tho pnrt of tho police would
not only bo Ineffectual, becauso their so
clnllj prominent fnthers would "got them
out" at once, but tho ton-nmbltlous officers
themselves would Mud things less easy ror
them And the worst of It Ih there Is
somo truth In It An officer could arrest
a laborer's Hon with Impunit), but woa bo
lide the official who arrests for smoking
or any other misdemeanor the sou of rich
Mr AVhat'H-hls-nnnic. of Chestnut Hill, for
Instance'
l-'lnally Vn can blame tho magistrates
themselves, for they still contlnuo to re
lease "with a warning." whllo the passing
of tlio present regulations somo little time
ago would havo been warning enough A
llttlo stiffening of the backs of somo of
our magistrates, n, little more courage on
the part of some of the police, who aro
too willing" to wink at the lawlessness nf
vvcll-drcRskl bo8, anil In fact, a little
more observation on the part of parents,
and a greater willingness to "make It hot"
fur offenders against their own sons, would
setllo "Mother's" concern over a very Im
portant subject In short order!
Hut at this date there aro few signs of
aggressive parental interest, few signs that
tlio police are willing to exert themselves
In this direction nnd particularly when
the boy happens to be well dressed few
signs, that the magistrates themselves are
really anxious to discourage dealers from
soiling to minors. .

A GERMAN REPUBLIC
To tha Keillor of the Kvenlng Ledger:
Sir The Kveninu I.tmiEn is to. If not
at, the front alt the time, Your Issue of
December 1 had the following broadside of
wisdom) In It "In the United Btates Is a
very husky, ery earnest. Very Intense
Frenchman with a. close-cropped Van Dyke
beard, who Is preparing to travel all over
this country to explain that Just as soon as
the Allies push tha Germans back to the
Hhlne, they will give the Oerman people
a republic This gentleman Is M Jules
Dole, a special envoy of the French Govern
ment to the United States,"
I don't know Just where the Bunkhound
Is, but here Is a Job for him Because, be
lieve me, this is bunk of tho highest order
which fhoua to what length the Allies are
prepared to go to smash (lermany, free .the
small nationalities and grab the trade of
the world Did you ever notice how the
hearts of Kngland and Prance bleed for the
poor oppressed peoples under Pther Qov.
ernmenU? The Allies are great people for
starting republics In countries which don't
belong to them, but very loath to encourage
anything of the kind where their own Hags
fly. The Allies are trying to start a re
public In Ureece because Greece will not
help them to down Germany, and the same
Is true of many others. Including Turkey
Austria and Holland England has not a,
word to say about an Irish republic, an Jn
dlan republic, a South African republic or
an Kgyptlan republic Belgium la silent
about a Congo republic and France has not
a word to say about an Algerian republto
or bout the captive Queen of Madagascar '
The ee-uree of the Allies would be more
te.f 'J tfe flred thh' ow natten-

city of Dublin In nshes when the Irish
sought to establish one.

A WESTERN CAPITAL
To tho J'dllor of the Kvenlng Ledger:
Sir Your correspondent from Oakland,
Cal . signing himself ' Callfornlan," makes
an excellent suggestion of moving tho cap
ital from Washington to somo moro central
placo lllo Dcs Moines, In , or Omaha, Neb ,
and gives very good reasons for so doing,
but adds, "I know- this suggestion will not
bo taken scrlousl " Thero Is no reason
why It should not be taken seriously If
this country had no capital today, would
any ono think of putting it where It now
stands? No' It would bo located ns near
to the geographical center ot tho country aa
possible Ho pertinently nRks, Why should a
Callfornlan spend flvo dajo to get to tho
capital of his country when an easterner
can reach It In a few hours? Ho again posi
tively sajH If wo wero Invndcd Washington
would havo to movo to somo safer place
quickly Another reason ho puts forth Is
the too close proximity to Washington of
the Pcnrosclsin of Pennsylvania and the
Murph)lsm of New York, and that's worth
thinking about.
