W’e ask "How’s the war going?”
anil then pick up the paper anil read
six or eight dispatches telling about
engagements at different places. We
must not allow ourselves to think of
these battles, terrific as they usually
are, as the war itself. They are only
eruptions along the long lines of bat
tle front. Whether there are any en
gagements given out or not we should
remember that fighting is going on all
the time. The hundreds of miles of
front in France, the long Russo-Teu
ton line, tho entire circle of trenches
hristlig with bayonets which surrounds
the central powers all are the scenes
of continual struggle. Night and day,
rain or shine, there is a continual rifle
tire. Artillery of varying sizes is con
tinually booming, men are always dy
ing, always being carried to the rear
crippled, or insane. The mill of the
great war is always grinding and it
is continually sending out its grist of
mangled human beings. The more im
portant struggles, where unusual ac
tivity is for the moment displayed, are
given out to satisfy the demands of
the people at home for news from the
front. But the war itself is constant,
il is always in progress.
Thiil a safe is a good thing in ease
of fire on shore is undoubted. We
had supposed that a ship's safe was to
keep the ship's coin and passenger’s
valuables secure from thieves on board.
The safe on tho fire-gutted steamship ■
Congress, seems io have served a
double purpose, It was thief-proof and
it saved Jl’o.OOO for the owning com
pany.
'Hu prosecution of the Reading Coal
Company which began yesterday, as
stated in the Nugget, will be very
beneficial if it results in delivery of
coal to lIn- consumer at a fair and rea
sonable profit to producer and common
carrier. If this can he brought about
in ilu cast we wouldn’t object In the
least to the governments' trying out
some of the fut in the west and up tills
\» ay.
J ho street railway employes in New
Vork doubtless have just cause for de
manding more pay and shorter—we
have never seen street railway yet
who seemed to us adequately recom
pensd for thir labor especially in view
of the fact that their occupation is
very severe on the legs and kidneys
and cannot lie followed, as a rule, for
more than a decade or two. In the
present instance the employes seem to
have the power to enforce their de
mands.
There's something doing all the time
in the steamship business along the
Pacific Coast up to Alaska. If it Isn't
passengers, then its freight. When it
gets too good, a new company insists
on sitting in and taking a hand. After
a while there’s a meager, or combine,
or some big fellow buys the whole
these. Its' a good, live industry either
in a small or large way and Is worth
the attention of the biggest men, for
Alaska is sure to keep on coming in
one way or other.
When the jury in the commissioner's
court on Monday afternoon failed to
declare Steve Kcipnitz an insane per
son there was turned loose on this
*
community a pitiable wreck of what
under certain other conditions might
have been. His conditon touched the
sympathy of some of the Jurors and
court officials who threw their fees in
(he hat along with some other kind
hearted people and thus twenty five
buck* was raised for the poor chap.
The city authorities very wisely ar
ranged for his fare out as an indigent
person. Thus the city got rid of a
decidedly undesirable person. It is to
he hoped that the stimulus of life
outside may awaken spirit in the fel
low so that he will go to work and
get on his feet.
Being busily engaged in the inves
tigation of private and corporate busi
ness affairs in recent years, the fed
eral government has had little time
to investigate its own business. Hap
pily this urgent need Is to be met by
private philanthropy. The Rockefel
ler endowments for the service of the
public are to be utilized for this pur
pose. An institute for government
research has been created and Is to
begin the task of assaying public busi
ness methods at once, a task that is
likely to continue for some years.
Government has long been awaiting
an Intelligent survey; not only federal,
but city town and village government
as well. Public business, being every
body's business, has been nobody’s
business for many years. For the most
part it has I'eon a huge, unwleldly ma
chine constructed largely for the pur
pose of giving legal color to the col
lection. appropriation and expedlture
of public money. The federal business
office has been waiting over-long for a
housecleaning, and a force of experts
will hav > much to do to wade through
the dust.
Municipal research has been found
highly useful. In New York it has
saved taxpayers some milions of dol
lars annually, and has been found pro
portionately effective wherever under
taken intelligently.
If the Rockefeller commission vill
check ovei government waste and in
efficiency, and suggest workable, econ
omical, sensible business systems for
the various departments, with the red
tape climnnted as far as possible, it
will have performed a great service for
the public.
The tiood Roads movement is a mat
