Our esteemed contemporary the
Slaais-Zeiluug sajs that tac kaiser id
now •Aum.iai ot the Atlantic."' It
might have added that lor reasons
. ,er wh.ch he has no control the
kaiser will continue to keep his flag
ship at Kiel for the prea.nt and in
definitely.
The commander of the Canadian
troops on the Somme is named Byng.
Probably when General Sir Douglas
Pa g gave the order to advance on
Beaumont which resulted in the re
cent bullion. British victory wherein
the Cunuuiun troops played a promi
nent part, he merely said “Bingo."
Somebody came in last night to nsli
us who has been elected vice presi
dent. We didnt know a thing about
It but told him with considerable "1
an air of wisdom that it was Mr. Mar
shall. And at that we may have made
a good gufss and we think we did.
If It had been important we would
have looked it up for our questioner
and we will do so anyway if he Is dis
satisfied with our answer. Or if any
other name for vice president would
suit him better we will be glad to
accommodate him. So far as we can
see it doesnt matter much who is vice
president or whether he ever goob to
the capital or not] Of course if Presi
dent Wilson should die, a contingency
we earnestly hope will not occur, his
running mate on the ballot would be
come of prime Importance. But In the
meantime we are willing to cater to
anj one's personal preference for the
vice presidency.
Labor and capital are preparing to
go to the mat again according to
the dispatch s of the last few days.
The application of the Adamson law
sums to be the 6torm center Just now.
On the one side the railroads de
clare that the law must be tested U3
to Its cvonstlutlonality before they
will follow Its provisions. Ijibor on
the other hand urges that this '»
merely a subterfuge. The trainmen let
slip the gold n opportunity of a year
for a successful strike when they ac
cepted the passage of the law as the
equivalent of a yield ng to their dp
r.anus by the companies. The full of
1 e year with crops to be moved and
Immense freight acummulatlons al
rfO'l} on the rails was the opportune
moirrnt for the men to seek to ob
tain lle’r •'nos With the strike
only a few days off and no chance of
an agreement being reached with the
t.tihoad hee. s c npresa took the
matter off the hands of the employers
on behalf of tho public and virtually
granted the demands of the brother
hoods. The men considered the matter
settled and did not strike. Now they
find that thy have got nothing yet,
and if the court looks at the matter
from a very conservative viewpoint
they are not likely to get any‘hlng
ever. They seem to have the whole
battle to fight over. They are tnlk
strike again. Tbs railroads tell
tl rm that they may strike if they want !
too. They will be no further yield- 1
ing to the demands of labor by the
reads. Parenthetically It may be'
mentioned that the industrial confer- ]
etii’e board com I osed of employers of
seven milliou p ople is backing ‘he
railroad conference board In Its re
sistance to the demands of united
laltor. Let the Issue be fought out
by a strike say the railway managers
Now is as good a time as any until
next fall, and the strike may b« or
dered at any time Judging by the at
titude of the brotherhood leaders.
At this Juncture comes Adamson
who says that a g neral strike on the
railroads would mean complete pros
it at4on of business and that the ad
ministration would not allow that con
dition to last long. Bather than
stand that state of affairs the gov
eumcnl would take over the railroads
of the coutv. r> and operate them.
Which is not a bad idea at all when
one comes to th.nk it over. There 4s
a large and stead.ly increasing num
ber of peopl who favor the govern
ment ownership ol not only the ratl
n ads but of the telegraph and tele
' i ne systems an 1 steamship oom
pcn.es as well. It would probably
1 good pol.tics for the democratic
p. ;y to s'art in along this line and
go the full limit as fast as puhlie
c pinion would allow. It woud thus
Income the true party of progress in
in - i iri on of mill ons of voters in
c - ding many republicans and nearb
.11 progressives. It would then hav
a real issue for the next campaign
pi strong is the sentiment agains
(Otpoii ticn con'rol of the destinies
et the nation that it is possible th
!• publican party would have to adop'
h similar pia'f-rm. It Is probabl
‘ir.t it wiuld tike the opposite view
and come oat strongly for the cor
porations and attempt to draw th
ee "servative elermnt from the ranks
i ( democracy. So that ,in the < nil.
k re would 'ie one radically progres
sive purl>, which would probahiy be
c--led in i :ie tone b» revolutionary
disturbances of a similar nature which
na.i be i xt- - a h Furope at the
close of the war, and a party of con
soivatism and reaction. The social
ists have done a lot of educational
work along the line of governm -nt
ownership, just as they did with the
referendum, initiative and other doc
trines which easily slipped into the
statutes of many states.
The above is mere conjecture sug
gested by the pr- sent battle array of
capital and labor. The result no man
can possibly foresee. It may be
fought out on one line or on another.
Bu‘ oi a numb r of thing.; we may be
suie; labor is going to fight for a
fairer share of the profits; capital is
not going to give up anything it can
hold on to; and the whole people will
see some day that there is only or
soui.d basis on which industrial penc
may be founded and that Is a fair
distribution of the products of laboi
ard, the actual, not theoretical rec
ognition of the fact that Americans
arc not the slaves of their masters.
A slave, we take it, serves his master
for his keep. The master looks af
ter his welfare in many ways 3olely
from self interest. But the master
gets all the good things of life and
ccrsider3 himself a superior being to
those whose labor enriches him. A
plutocracy U not the desire of the
American mass a who, we think, are
likely soon to demand a democracy
ir. fact.
. "BLIGHTY"
It is not often one finis true sen'I
ment in slang, Usually it ia some
c.vnie who invents colloquialisms to
lak” the place of r putable and dignifi
ed English words.
Bloke, geeier, gink and boob do not
suggest lovable p rsonalities any more
than shack. Joint, hang-out or dig
gin’3 imply comfortable places of
abode; but "blighty" is different.
Thomas Atkins has taken an Eas;
Tndian expr ssion—exact meaning,
spelling and pronounciation unknow
—and has turned it into an English
sentiment. "Blighty” is spoken w>th
love und deep foiling. "Blighty,”
longed for "blighty.”
Just a few we ks ago there was a
great void in the British vocabulary
where "blighty" now stands. French
otTcial repor s had something dimly to
take its place in "grand blesse"—big
or badly wounded—but that was for
mal and had nothing of the inner

English had no word at all; 111 r. fore,

First of all "blighty" meant simp!}

Ah, home! Presently the suffering
and angu.sh of the physical injury
dropped from the word s significance
and only the bright side of .the though
remained- England home:
"Blighty" now means hotjie.
