Cleveland's Fare Plan
Apparently the city of Cleveland is in po
sition to offer real help to other cities suffer
ing from traction troubles. Years ago Cleve
land adopted the Tayler plan of settlement of
its street car problems. No one would claim
it as a perfect plan, and developments have
made necessary a few changes in the grant.
Under the plan the rate of fare, must produce
a revenue that will nav 6 oer cent dividend
on the stock. It may be advanced when cost
- of operation goes up and reduced as economies
are developed.
During the war the fare was advanced to 5
cents, although it is known as a 3-cent "fare
franchise. The people made ho special protest
over the advance in fare, the peaceful and un
eventful introduction of the. boost being quite
unlike the rows developed in other ctiies when
, fare increases were proposed. Last July the
tare was reduced, dropping -from 5 .cents .to.
eleven tickets for SO cents. Last week another,
decrease was made, the fare now being six tick-'
ets for a quarter. While Cleveland is now giv
ing its car riders good service at six; for a quar
ter, Kansas City has a 7-cent fare where tickets
are brought on an 8-cent cash fare. In Cleve-
' land the cash fare is 5 cents. . Cleveland has no
street car fare rows, the stock of the traction
company sells close to par and has sold as high
' as $112, and the car riders have good service. -.
The Tayler plan has stood the brunt of war
experience and fare has been quickly reducd.

HOLLAND AND THE ALLIES.
Surrender of William II of Hoheniollern to
be tried by an international court is refused by
the government of the Netherlands, on whom
formal demand was made in pursuance to Ar
ticle 227 of the Treaty of Versailles. On the
historic grounds that Holland has always been
asylum for oppressed is based an action that
will probably result in the claim being tested to
its utmost
As a sovereign nation, without treaty obliga
tions to the contrary, Holland may act as it will
in the premises. Whether the Netherlands au
thorities are justified in questioning the good
faith of the Allies may be doubted. Offenses
charged against the ex-emperor of Germany
transcend the ordinary political variety, and
partake of such serious nature as closely con
cerns all the world. Had he been taken prisoner,
as was Napoleon Bonaparte, his trial would
would have followed as a matter of course. That
he fled to Holland for safety in no sense miti
gates his guilt or palliates his offense.
Tardy efforts to exculpate him, by shifting
responsibility to one or another of German
leaders, do not convince. He was both de jure
and de facto the autocrat of the empire, and
represented in his person all its forces, material
and moral. Clothed with ample power to de
clare a defensive warfare, he was privy to the
machinations at Berlin and Vienna, and that he
gave his sanction to alt that was done in his
name and more is well established. Nor can
it be doubted that, had his plans successfully
borne the fruit of world conquest, he would
have accepted the added dominion as a tribute
to his worth and a proper embellishment of his
glory. The personal guilt of this man can not
be put off with the robes of office he laid down
when he abdicated. Acceptance of defeat does
not exonerate him.
Holland's attitude will shed a new light on
the League of Nations. How effective moral
suasion may be in the way of imposing the
joint will of a group on an individual, may be
here determined. It is a matter that affects all
the nations of earth, and as it is settled one
way or another it must have a direct bearing
on the proposed combination.
Reform from the East.
Quite according to schedule, and fully meet
ing expectations, both Governor Edwards of
New Jersey and Chairman Cummings of the
democratic national committee take up the gage
of battle thrown down by Mr. Bryan, and go
after him hammer and tongs. Says the gover
nor, in a fine snort of indignation:
He has never refused to adopt any heresy
that looked as if it could garner votes. He
says that no reform ever came out of the east.
He overlooks the fact of one magnificent re
form that came out of the east which defeated
him and reformed the democratic party.
This display of petulance may soothe the
perturbed governor, who sees the shadow of the
Bryan camel fall athwart the path to the, presi
dency, but itywill hardly disturb the great com
moner. If Governor Edwards will only look up
the record of the democratic party since the days
of Grover Cleveland, he will discover the very
protruding fact that if any reform in its methods
has - been accomplished, or its fortunes have
been in any way mended, such change or ad
vantage has come through the direction and
under, the watchful eye of Mr. Bryan. It is he
who has molded the fate of the party to suit
his own views.
From 1906 to 1912; excepting 1908, when lie
deferred to the demands of the east and allowed
Tammany and Alton B. Parker to lead the pro
cession to inglorious defeat, - Mr. Bryan has
dominated the democratic party. It was his
personal effort that set aside Champ Clark when
it seemed to him the Missourian was acceptable
to Wall Street, and his skill and address that
drove the Baltimore convention to take Wood
row Wilson. That Mr. Wilson and his coad
jutors have brought the party into a state of
impotence is not to be laid at the doof of
William Jennings Bryan.
Governor Edwards will do well to reckon
with the experience of those democrats who
have sought to extinguish the torch Mr. Bryan
bears. Roger Sullivan might enlighten him,
and , Charles Murphy certainly could.
, Putting Europe on Its" Feet.
Most of the debate in regard to the im
mediate, .financial needs and future industrial
outlook of Europe turns on the elementary fact
that only by steady productive work ean; the
situation over there be improved. This applies
with equal force to America. Governor Hard
ing of the Federal Reserve board, addressing
the Fan-American Financial conference, reiter
ates the assertion that Americans must invest
in European securities in order that prosperity
may be restored over there. He does not how
ever, offer the suggestion made by other bank
ers, that the government lend its credit to sus
tain J-the commerce of Europe. His proposal
though, that loans from this country be made
on terms that will permit payment in goods is
in line with the president's proposal that our
markets be opened to European manufacturers
until they get back on their feet Alongside this
should be placed the proposition that foreign
exchange be stabilized by forcibly bringing the
enormously inflated currency to a gold basis.
The one is as impracticable as the other. Gov
ernment credit was strained to its utmost by all
the belligerents, while England, France, Italy,
Germany and Russia, as well as the United
States, have' emitted such extensive issues ,'ol
paper money as to seriously disturb all prices.
The effect of this policy is felt in the high cost
of living in all lands. In only one way can the
balance be restored, and that is by production.
But to open our markets without restriction to
Europe, in order that recovery over there may
be speedy, is almost equivalent to supporting
their purchases on this side with the credit oi.
our government. The consumptive market oi
America must be kept for the home producer
as far as possible, while Europeans should not
expect more or less than to be called on to
compete with our surplus in the markets of the
world.
"Old Doc" Meeker is a cheerful crape
hanger. About the time everybody else gets
settled down, he bobs up with the announce
ment of another high record in the cost of liv
ing. It's bad enough to have to pay the price,
without always being reminded, of it.
About the most satisfactory news that comes
nowadays is that from Russia. It contains
something to please everybody and confirm all
opinions. ,-

Disposing of the Sultan
From the New York Timet.
London and Paris are talking of the im-,
niinent decision of the fate of Constantinople
and the Turkish government Le Temps pre
sents a long argument, which quite possibly rep
resents the views of an influential group of
professional diplomats, for the retention of the
sultan on the Golden Horn the sultan with all
his trappings and authority, political and spirit
ual, but under control by some outside power.
The London Daily Chronicle, on the other hand,
seems confident that "the sultan as caliph, or su
preme head of the Mohammedan faith, will be
left in Constanti-nople, while his government is
transferred to the other side of the strait, and
all his temporal influence with it. Every care
will be taken not to lessen the dignity of the
sultan or to detract trom nis religious
thority."
Here is a self-evident absurdity. This ten
derness for the sultan is ostensibly, and to a
large degree actually, due to fear of what the
.Moslem French subjects in Africa and Moslem
British subjects in.Indin and elsewhere may
think. If art Ottoman government is set up In
Brusa, nominally headed by an absentee sultan
who lives in Constantinople under the political
jurisdiction of some other power or group of
powers, the sultan's ditnitv in the eyes of
Orientals will be materially lessened, and the
diminution cannot be covered up by showers of
scented phrases, io far as this purpose is con
cerned it would be better attained if the sultan,
in his bodily person and his spiritual capacity,
should retire into Asia with his government.
The proposed solution would solve nothing,
but would bring some new troubles with it. If
the sultan and his holy men stayed in Con
stantinople while his government went to Brusa
or Konieh, there would at once be set up a
double current of intrigue, one set of . forces
trying to send the sultan and the holy men into
Asia, the other to bring the government back
to Constantinople.
The Temps, representing a point of view
always in possession of all tlie detailed facts of
a political situation, however much they may be
blind to some of the movements behind the
scenes, quite accurately calls this "a fanciful so
lution," adding that "the sultan possesses his
religious power only because of his political
power." This is entirely true, and should miti
gate some of the expected Moslem protests. A
great part, of the sultan's territory has been torn
away by the revolt of the Arabs, the original
Moslems, whose respect for a race which seized
the caliphate by force has not been notably evi
dent of late. The final overthrow of the sul
tan's armies was brought about largely by Mo
hammedan troops from India; in the Russian
armies which defeated the Turks in Armenia
there were many Mohammedans who did their
best to help the Christian czar take away terri
tory from the Moslem caliph. It is hard to
see why Mohammedans should acquiesce in the
loss of Turkish territory wanted by England, or
France, or Russia, and raise their protest only
when it is a question of a city in which each
power is afraid some other power may get the
upper hand.
The Temps frankly wants the sultan left in
Constantinople, political authority and all. But
it offers some curious reasons. France's "tradi
tional friendship toward Islam, which does not
necessarily imply friendship toward the Turk, is
one: the fact that "the official language of the
Turkish government is French" is another. The
substitution of French for Italian as the diplo
matic idiom of Constantinople corresponded
with a similar change in political influence, so
the argument is not so purely belletnstic as it
seems; nevertheless, one mayvhave the highest
admiration for the French language without
admitting that its supremacy in Constantinople
is worth continuation of political corruption
and oppression of progressive and Christian
races which the retention of the sultan's power
would make certain. '
If the sultan is moved away from Con
stantinople, says the Temps, it will mean the
loss of "the only military forces to be found on
tne spot tor defending the strait should need
ayise. ine dead who lie at Gallipoli could give I
the answer to that; but the Temps hopefully re- j
minds us that Germany knew how to control
the Turks so as to remain mistress of the Dar
danelles, the inference being that France could
do as well. Certainly the French would not
acquiesce in periodic massacres of Christian
populations as the price of their influence. The
strait, the J emps asserts, must be defended
"against a coup de main of the Bulgarians or the
offensive action of the Turks themselves," so
leave the lurks there or else they may come
back and recapture the city by force.
But in the next paragraph comes out the
real argument The allies would protect the
strait, if the sultan were thrown out, but would
protect -it by sea: and "all. the allies are not
equally strong on the sea." ' In other words, the
trench foreign office thinks that with the sul
tan put out an internationalized Constantinople
would be controlled by Great Britain. There
fore keep the sultan in, no matter, how much
corruption and crime, how great political dif
ficulties for France herself in the future, his
retention might mean.
The Turk has been in the strait for four and
a half centuries; and in all that time the coun
try that he occupies has been exactly where it
was when he arrived. The Turk has always
and everywhere stopped the clock of progress;
and he has done it by the repression of progres
sive nations which would have gone forward if
left to themselves. There could be no greater
crime against civilization than to leave the sul
tan on the Golden Horn.

these articles, leave these meetings,

started, problem not solved, and
prices keep a soaring.
The Chamber of Commerce only
a few weeks ago advocated four

had made in Lincoln on the H. C.

McKelvie had purchased for $2,350.
Was it necessary? Who is to judtre?
Why not close up all automobile
places only such as are used for

every industry except the one in
which we are personally interested.

go on, some say it Is profiteering,
others say not; some say shortage
of supply, other says not; some say
foodstuff wasted, others say not, and
we continue to be entertained, by
some interesting speakers, and the
H. C. of L. is doing business in tne
same old way, and laughing at our
good Intentions.
It Is either profiteering, waste or
food or the demand Is greater
than the supply and unless we have
laws and they are enforced, making
it a crime to profiteer, or waste
foodstuff, there is nothing left for
us to do, but wait and see the out

FACTORY WORKER.

Madge Lauten was not able to fin

was but one thing to do, get out
into the world and make a living.
Madge had watched the steady
progress of her next door neighbor,
Ellen Terry, from her place as an
apprentice in the Brown Clothing
factory to ssrvice director, A simi

went straight to the mills. After
considering the opportunities of sev

Ellen Terry.
Two courses presented them-

work in every department in the

work, the pupil proved herself
worthy of a responsible position,
she might be given a job which put
her in line for a position as an em

worker.
Since Madge was not a high
school graduate, she adopted the
second course. She went into the
trade school of the mills, where she
was paid a fair wage while learning.
First, an idea of handsewing was ac
quired. This was under te direc
