TUKSDAY, JANUARY 14. 1919
NORWAY WOULD PROTECT SLACKERS
'Tp HE government of Norway lias filed a protest with
the State Department over a bill introduced by Sena
tor Jones of Washington, which provides for the deporta
tion of all aliens who cancelled their naturalization papers
in order to escape military duty. In this western country
thousands of ioreigners sought the protection of the ship
yards and lumber camps in order to evade the draft and
many of them even went so far as to cancel their applica
tions for citizenship and then openly boasted that the
government could not get them.
Norway, at best with her pro-German record has
little room to protest any action of this government in its
efforts to clean up the citizenship of the country and when
she tries to protect these slackers her protest should go un
heeded. Draft boards from all parts of the-country have
asked for the passage of this law. It is the only punish
ment possible for this style of slacker and the law should be
passed in order to rid the country of them.
Men who regard so lightly their oaths of citizenship
are not worthy of the protection of this government. They
have been allowed to remain here during the war work
ing for wages that are unheard of in their own country
vvhile our boys have been inducted into the army. Now
that the war is over these fellows should be shipped back
to the country they came from and their places filled with
discharged soldiers.
America wants nothing of them and if Norway feels
that she must protect them let her have them. Their
presence here is obnoxious and insulting to decent Americanism.
PEACE THE ONE BEST BET
X7' K start the New Year right; the kings have ceased
to fight; and some are bannned, and some are can-1
ned; they've said a last "good night!" We've seen what
war can do; its worse than was the flu; and rows that
make nations quake are bad for people, too. All fights
are bad and vile; no quarrel, s worth your while; so if
some chap demands a scrap, just answer with a smile.
You're bad as Kiaser Bill, if you display the will to break
Ihe peace and give release to wrath already still. Why
throw sarcastic flings at captains and at kings, if you're the
'hap that hunts a scrap, and stirs up grief, lv brigs? Ue

'jP he question whether the novernmiit shall retain the
railroads for a period of live Years which is the rec
ommendation of Mr. McAiloo and manage them in order
lo put government ownership and management to' a thoro
lest is now ln-forc Congress and the country. The railroad
managers urge that the roads he turned hack to their for
mer owners at once, hut whether they urge this because
they believe it would be lo the advantage of the people or
of the owners of the railroads they do not state, but the
majority of the people will guess that it is the latter they
have in mind.
The real question is which would be the better for the
people? None will sa that the owners claim should have
hrs; consideration, and if they prefer not to sell they
should in l lie forced. Hut we think that we can show
that this is a mistaken iew ; that the interests of the pub
lic should have first consideration. Here is the illustra
tion: The bridges out the riu-rs at Pittsburgh were
erected by private corporations and managed by them lor
many cat s. They paid, dividends to the stockholders
and they resented the pi. m lor Allegheny county to buy
llieiu and make tin tn nee to the people. Nevertheless,
the movement to buy them tor the people prevailed and
they were purchased ami made tree to the people; thus
prov mg that m (lie opinion ot the courts the right? and de-
sies ol the people were paramount.
Now we understand very well that it the government
were to purchase the railroads and run them in the inter
est ol the people, as the postollice department is run. the
service which they would render would be paid for as it is
under piiv.ite ownership, the point that we aie now estab
lishing is that the tact that the owners do not wish to sel
the toads does nd settle the question ot government own
el ship oi the i ait o.uU. 1 1 the people desire to purchase the
roads thru its government they can rightly do so having
them appraised and paving the prices fixed by th
appi aisei s.
,vt pn sent I lie sentiment in congress appears to !c t.
otable to 1 1 1 in n in the t.nlioads to ptivate ownetshn
and this will pioh.ihU be done. However, this is ccit.un
in that event to follow: The control ol the gouinimnt

Never again will we have Mvmt) live to one hundred d:'i
e ent railroad systems in this country but one system.
There are no indications that this would ever have come,
had it not been forced by the government. Yet when it
comes to efficiency the managers of the railroads were
claimed to be the last word.
What is likely to happen is the turning back of the
roads to their fomer owners, and later a successful move
ment for their purchase by the government. The tendency
of the world is in that direction; and when the day comes
this country, on this one question will be abreast of the
oiner ieaumir nations ot tne world, hut not in aim A.Mr,
of it. That is something to bear in mind.
