Yet when the senator passes from the functions of diagnostician to those of a remedial prescriptionist the numbers of thought- ful men among his adher dwindle. The President should “‘com- 1 rate reduction” by “the railroads, e states. The guarantee ciause of the Esch-Cummins law should be repealed. ‘The power to increase state rates should be taken from the Interstate Commerce Commission. And so forth. It is interesting that, approximately coincident with the exposition of this viewpoint, the current issue of the Railway’ Age should contain a state- ment of cold facts and figures which would tend to show the danger, if not the impossibility, of the heroic treat- ment advocated by the senator from Kansas. Figures are given which es- tablish the fact that while the total earnings of the roads for the first six months of 1921 were almost $320,000,- 000 more than during the simtlar the public paid almost $21,000,000 less for transportation serv- ice during those months, the explana- tion of that apparently anomalous truth being in the fact that in 1919, un- der government control, the public paid in taxes for a very considerable part of the transportation services received —a large deficit having been incurred. Figuring upon this basis it is readily | demonstrated that a considerable sav- ing has been made to the public by the roads during the indicated period, and this at the expense of very heavy lose2s incurred by the owners of the| roads. { actually earned by the roads during the first half of this year was but $142,000,000, only one-third of the net return they received in the first half of 1919 under government control, and $95,000.000 less than mere interest| upon their outstanding bonds for the period involved. In the light of those cold, uncom- promising figures the advisability or, indeed, the need for the drastic meas- ures advocated by Senator Capper be- comes dubious. They would prove that for each dollar entering into the cost of transportation the public is today getting more service than it was in 1919—that the roads are seeking, at a heavy cost to themselves, to remedy | a condition of affairs for which they are in no wise responsible. Weee the earnings of the roads high today, were profits large and dividends excessive, | the prescription of the senator might well be expedient. But to press that prescription at a time when the roads are running on so close a margin as to be unable to meet the interest due upon their outstanding obligations would be unwise in the extreme. For, important and desirable though a re- duction in freizht rates undoubtedly is today, it is still more important and desirable to find some other means to! that end than one which, under exist- ing conditions, could only result in the closing down of the roads or (near- iy as bad) a return to government] operation. ———————— It has been critically asserted that the films do not require good actors, but there is no doubt whatever as to their requiring good lawyers. —_———————— The Mingo ccal regions have arrived at a serious complication of the fuel question with the problem of unem- ployment. ——— John Barleycorn is now represented as hoping to put on a silk hat and a frock coat and go masquerading as a diplomat. Death From the Sky. There have been six deaths from lightning in this immediate vicinity during the present summer, This un- wusual number of casualties from the electric storms is but a proportion of the remarkably large nlimber of per- sons who have lost their lives in this manner throughout the country, Ap- parently all records have been broken in the matter of lightning fatalitfes. It seems impossible to explain the un- usual prevalence of this danger, The number of electric storms does not geem to have been greater than usual, but for some reason that perhaps even science cannot reveal the electric dis- charges from the clouds have been ex- ceptionally disastrous, It is possible that more people are out in the open now than heretofore, or that they have grown unafraid of lightning and have exposed themselves more freely. Or it may be that there has heen a subtle change of conditions which has caused a higher potency of stroke. It is all very mysterious. There is no fixed rule. Lightning is generated in the clouds through alter- nations of temperature, and is dis- charged to earth when there is an ex- cess of pressure. The bolt may fall upon a tree or building, spire or hay-| stack, or any other protuberance THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D, C, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1921_PART I stroke of lightning almost invarjably “hits” some such inequality in the sur. lmummmm ' in the war and our succoring ‘the dis- face.

Almost precisely the same sort of death occurred here some years ago on another golf links. The old theory that lightning never strikes twice in the same place has been frequently disproved, but in no case more dramatically than at Ta- koma Park a number of years back. -| A bolt fell upon a large tree and dam- aged it. A number of pedple gathered under, the tree for shelter during the same storm, possibly reassured by the first stroke, and in a few minutes an- other bolt fell and several were killed. Some remarkable freaks of lightning have occurred during the summer. i There have been the usual tattooing cases, with so-called impreasions of trees imprinted upon the bodies of vic- tims. In one case lightning struck a itting hen and stripped it of all tissue, leaving only a clean skeleton, There is no accounting for the vagaries of the atmospheric, currents. There is really no place of actual safety in a storm. But shelter under a tree is one of the Dpoorest of positions to take while the clouds are shooting darts to the earth. Confounding the Knockers. It is one of the peculiarities of American public life that the man who sets out to get things?done at once finds himself a target for the brick- bats of the chronic “snipers.” Im- munity from such attack seems find- ble only in the obscurity of medi- ocrity. Let him emerge from this ob- scurity with a proposal to do.some- thing and, no matter how great the need of doing the thing he proposes shall be done, the bombardment be- gins. One of the great emergency needs of the country today is that something should be done to lessen the suffering which is certain to result the coming winter from nation-wide unemploy- vent. While others have been moan- ing and lamenting, President Harding and his advisers have tackled the task, and as a preliminary step have decided upon the calling of a confer- ence here to consider ways and means. And at once the non-doers begin to find"fault with the doers and to hunt for picayunish flaws in the thing it is proposed to do. Recognizing that it would be diffi- cult to make any impression with criti- cism of the idea of a conference as such, the critics are centering their at- tacks on the lack of definiteness in the announcement. They complain that the President has not taken the | public fufly into his confidence as to what it is he hopes to accomplish.’ They want an advance agenda, a com- plete program of whys and where- fores, of subjects and objectives— which, of course, would give them something to get their teeth into, to For the net operating income |attack and try to tear to pleces. It is hard on the Knights of the Hammer thus to be deprived of ‘oppor- tunity to destroy in advance any pos- sibility of accomplishment by the con- ference, but the President does not lack knowledge of the ways of their fraternity, and it may be he had their embarrassment in mind when he de- cided not to be too explicit as to the conference program. , A Colorado Pessimist. is mistaken. close to smash as he seems to think. ‘We are going through ‘‘hard trials and great tribulations.” But we have jhad such an experience before—sev- eral times before.

Why is he not in public life helping to cor- rect evils, instead of occupying the seat of an observer and pointing out mistakes of others and perils to which he thinks they are leading? ‘We are not on the rocks, nor likely to land there. We are not a one-party country, with two divisions under dif- ferent names fighting sham battles. There are two parties, sincerely differ- ing as to principles, and each engaged in an earnest effort to uphold the prin- ciples it professes. —————— A system of payment in commodities will not lead this part of the world to accept turtle serum and the works of certain German philosophers at any- thing like the valuations formerly as- sumed for them. . ——— A habit is hard to overcome, but there is little to encourage the people with a talent for interruption in their hopes of an opportunity to heckle the disarmament conference. —— The German monarchists may yet cause the ex-kaiser to make a prudent appeal to be saved from his friends. ————— Immigration Figures. A news story says: There were admitted to the United States_during the fiscal year ended June 30 jmmigrants to the number of $05,228, as compared with 430,001 for the “:vtou- year, and an average of 1,034, during the preiwar years from 1910 to 1914, according to fig- ures issued by the bureau of immigra- tion. Cemmissioner General Husband, in announcing the figures, said immi- gration rapidly is assuming its pre- ‘war rate, — As soon as the temporary restric- tions recently imposed expire, immi- gration will exceed the pre-war figures, and may mount very high unless new restrictions are imposed.

Several Congresses may haye to con- sider changing phasgs of it, so as we may continue our policy of admitting desirables and barring the other kind. Closing the gates would be bad policy, but guarding them more closely than ever will be a necessity. @Governor General Wood. Gen. Wood sees his duty, and, as al- ways, does it: 1 desire to accept the governorship because I believe the seriousness of the situation rises superior to my personal wishes. I feel that it is my patriotic duty to accept, and I will undertake to assume the duties of the office as soon as possible. This confirms opinion entertained at the time Gen. Wood was sent to the Philippines; that the situation there was serious and should be inspected and passed upon by & man of his grade and quality. He will enter on his new duties fresh from a tour of the archipelago and interviews with leading men of al! shades of opinion respecting the archi- pelago’s governmental future. He has listened impartially to those who de- sire complete independence, those who desire a qualified independence with Uncle Sam standing by as big brother, and those who desire a continuation of American rule; and in his report to the President he will sum up and make suggestions as to what should be done. In advance of the report it is a safe guess that the appeal of the Quezon party for independence “at an early day” will be denied; that judgment will be that the American task in the islands is still incomplete and shou!: be completed, and that the selection of Gen. Wood for carrying on the work is notice that it will be thorough ly done after the American fashiom The new official will have the un- qualified support of the administra- tion, and an opportunity to add to a reputation already high for efficiency and success. $ ‘The November conference causes apprehensive reference to the fact that ‘Washington, D.

The Dangerous Dirigibles. Reading the history of the ZR-2 in the light of its bearing on the future of air navigation, American editors reach varying conclusions. Most of them feel, with the Philadelphia Pub- lic Ledger, that “the growing distrust of the dirigible type of aircraft has received tragic confirmation in the disaster to that beautiful, powerful and complex ship of the sky,” gnd that, as the Adrian (Mich.) Telegram says, while “the conquest of the air is bound to come,” it will be “by heavier-than-air machines” On the other hand, the Charleston News and Courier speaks for the group whith jholds that *there is nothing funda- mentally wrong,” with the rigid dirigible and that, as the Wilmington (N. C.) Star expresses it, confidence in this type of aircraft has not been diminished by the wreck of the ZR-2, since it merely “proves that dirigible oonstruction s to be improved in cer- tain details; it does not prove that this type of craft must be abandoneds” ‘What is undoubtedly proved, in the opinion of the Des Moines Capital, is that “the conquering of the air is still more with the builder than with the flyer,” since, the Arizona Repub- lican (Phoenix) notes, the ZR-2 “was a ship which had been bullded with all the human experience and all the skill available,” with the result, the Seattle Times adds, that “she was the superdirigible, representing the ighest development in this line of endeavor,” and yet “the whole craft may have been constructed on faulty principles.” Its destruction ‘“will necessitate not a new start,” but, the Cleveland Plain Dealer believes, “a reconsideration of the principles of construction which were supposed to have been established.” f Even “‘the world's most terrible aerial disaster, the Flint (Mich.) Journal holds, “will assuredly not be permitted to halt for one moment the conquest of the air.” for, the Cincinnati Enquirer adds, “too much has been learned and achieved now to cease its development.” The giant airship “‘possessed all the ele- ments and possibilities of success,” says the Oshkosh Northwestern, and *“unfor- tunate as the accident is, it doubtless will_be the source of information of rauch real value in the field of aero- nautics and will Increase, rather than };::en interest and efforts along this Certainly-“the world is not going to atve up the idea after so much, proot of ‘he great possibilities,” the Des Moines Register declares, and “the building of he ZR-1 in America should go_ on.” The Boston Herald also turns “with fope from the unfortunate ZR-2 to the ZR-1" now building, because there can be “no turning back. As rocks stopped nor the running of -trains on railroads, they will not stop the navigation of the but rather strengthen the resolve to overcome all difficulties.” To the Manchester Union, however, further development of “these unreliable onsters of the air” seems like “experi- menting with something already super- ded,” since, as the New London ¢ Day expresses it, it “is glaringly that the dirigible “is in a much inore rudimentary stage of development than the airplane,” and certainly “after 1l the ars of experiments with glant . the Jersey City s, “‘some real formul shouid have been arrived at. The wreck of the ZR-2 “will strengthen the contention of those who believe that the heavier-than-air ship 18 destined to be the medium of aerial transportation,” the Milwaukee Sentinel says, and further, according to the Philadelphia Record, will “heighten the popular prejudice which has ~ always existed against the lighter-than-alr machines.” .The Al- bany Times-Union recalls that “tragic, indeed, has been the history of the development and use of this vehicle of flight,” and while in its opinion “the dirigible has a future,” there is still “a vast fleld to explore and de- velop in the elimination of the ele- ments of danger which now exist.” Heretofore, however, the New York Post points out, that element of danger has come chiefly from such uncontrollable factors ~es storms. Now in the pursuit of power and speed the airship is apparently de- veloping “strubtural defects” within itself which must be overcome, and “airship construction must strive for solidity rather than speed.” Just as there “is a limit to the length of ocean steamers,” the Indianapolis News believes the disaster has dem- onstrated that there should be ‘“a limit to the length of dirigibles,” and “until the mysterious buckling of the ZR-2 is better explained” the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot thinks “the presump- tion must remain strong that its ex- treme proportions and the experi- mental state of the knowledge of the predsures and stresses that these pro- portions involve played a controlling vart in the tragedy. Smashing Our Idols. - We have seen the destruction of scores of our youthful fancies and have keenly felt their loss. We have stood with fortitude the slaughter of Mother Goose, of Andersen, of Grimm, of all the heroes and heroines of child- hood, done to death by the dry-as- dust, matter-of-fact exponents of psy- chology and philosophy. We have bowed to the inevitable and, though sorrowed when the idols fell, have turned to new hopes and beliefs. Now comes the most crushing blow of all. One Andre Tridon, hailed as one of the greatest proponents of Freud, declares Alice, our old friend of Wonderland and Through the Look- ing Glass, is a paranolac, or rather her brainstorm is but the reflection of the brainstorm of the author, Lewis Car- roll.
