The pretext for the proposed in- railroad rates, which has| been cleverly forestalled by the injunc- créase in tion suit brought by the federal gov- ernment, is that the increased cost of higher prices for materials and equip ment, make necessary revenue to meet the out “If the la-| | borer, the manufacturer and the mer- American | chant are charging us more for what we buy of them,” declares the railroad’| spokesman, “‘then our only escape must | be to charge the shipper and passenger more for transportation, which is what | we sell to them."” The trouble with this sort of argu- ment is that it does not take into ac count all the factors nor rest upon a sound basis of fact. Conceding the in- creased expense of operation, the of- ficlal figures still show that the rail- roads of the country are reaping stead- ily increasing profits, and that the net earnings on current business is greater in comparison than it has ever been | before—this in spite of the palpable | padding of expense accounts for the express purpoge of making a bad show- ing. Figures compiled by the New York Journal of Commerce show that ing a gain of $23,018,823 in gross earnings had so inordinately expanded their expenses as to whittle the fig- ures of net earnings down to $3,9 919. One or two railroads, whose ac counting departments must be more| skillful than the others, had succeeded in proving most gratifying increases in gross revenues, and at the same time | that they were actually traveling in the directions of bankruptey by dis- closing alarming decreases in net rev- enues, Just how these wonderful transfor- mations were brought about is not wholly apparent on the surface, but some things are known which may throw light upon them. It is known, for example, that immediately after the 1907 panic every proposed expendi- | ture for repairs, improvements or equipment that could possibly wait was turned down; orders previously placed were countermanded, and the rajlroads did nothing beyond absolute the expenditures under these headings, therefore, that are now being made merely deferred outlays that should properly have been charged against traffic earnings of last year exerting a double influence to weigh down the showing of net earnings for this year and to expand that of the year before, and then comparison of these two resultant exhibits is all the more subversive of railroad prosperity, which is just what the railroads want to show. It is known further that some con- struction work, which in other days would have been charged to capital account, has been put into current ex- penses by railroads not a thousand miles from here—of course, with no ulterior purpose. But if new construc- tion were to come in the same class as wage increases, the railroads would never have any difficulty making out a case for raising rates at will, no mat- ter how high they might already be. We have seen so much of railroad bookkeeping jugglery in various con- nections—proofs of dire poverty when the tax boards are equalizing assess- ments and . inflated valuations when railroad commissions are discussing lower rates—that noticeable discrep- ancies in reports of earnings naturally arouse suspicion and make them fail to pass muster without veriffcation. Practical Education. Since Rockefeller and Carnegie or- ganized departments for distributing thefr wealth among institutions of learning men of large means seem to have fallen with unusual facility into the habit of giving, and just now an epidemic of endowment is apparently abroad in the land, especially benefit- ing the larger colleges and universi- ties. Harvard closed its fiscal year with $23,000,000 resources, Princeton has recently fallen heir to some- $10,- 000,000 from a Connecticut hermit, Johns Hopkins is completing a $2,000,- 000 endowment, while the president of Bryn Mawr announced at the com- mencement exercises that nearly “a million more had been raised for that | school. The moral aspect of worldly men giving their millions to education can- not be minimized, but neither can they in discharging their duty to soclety upon the universities and colleges. The latter still have much to do be- sides increase their financial resources. They have to get down to & mére thor- oughly practical system of education than they, with all their splendid progress, have yet reached. The de- mand of the times is for the man and: woman who Knows the problems of | life, who can successfully grapple with | them, who understands something of the social needs and who can lend a ready hand of helpfulness to soclety in satisfying its most common wants. | A prominent minister has recently sald that when he left iis theological pastorate he learned for the first time the woeful lack of preparation for which his professors at the divinity school were responsible. He needed | to know about the problems of society and he did not know it. He was thor- ough in his Greek and Hebrew, his ex- lgesls and homiletics, but he lacked the practical knowledge of every-day life and people that was necessary to make him an effective, useful minister, Colleges and universities, as well as seminaries, have much to do yet in VW LR 1 needs of the day, and {t they will use these immense gifts in doing this will be money well spent it The American Passport. No more delicate problem is en “|operation, due to higher wages and|gaging the consideration of the presi-| dent and secretary of state, and none | | an inereased ‘ for which an adequate solution is more | earnestly desired, than that passport. The American pagsport is a certificate of American citizenship carried by Americans trav- eling abroad, and ought to command for American citizens equal rights and privileges with those accorded the citi- zens of any other nation, and for every American citizen the same rights and privileges accorded any other Amer- fean ecitizen, When any foreign nation refuses to honor an American passport the shield of our country s hesmirched, and when any foreign natifon fails to re- spect the American ‘passport an insult is imposed on our country which every American citizen is in duty bound to resent. It s regrettable, but none the less true, that the Amer- fcan passport is not respected in vari- ous parts of Europe, and that diserim inations are practiced by several Eu- ropean nations, particularly Russia, as between different classes of American citizeng carrying passports to which they are entitled. Our government has made representations in this re- spect to Russia and other castern Bu- ropean countries, but so far without securing tangible resuits, although with some encouragement that our de- mands will eventually ve met.* of the It is to be hoped that this' matter | will be pressed steadily until the American passport as a testimony of American citizenship is vindicated no matter what the race, color, religion or previous condition of the holder so long as he is willing and able to ob- serve the laws of the country which he wishes to visit, The Limit Removed. The New York legislature recently adjourned amended the insurance code by removing the limit on new life in- surance risks which a New York com- pany may take on in any one year. It is worthy of note that the original in- surance code imposing this limitation grew out of the insurance investiga- tions conducted by Governor Hughes, this particular provision constituting one of the jreforms inaugdrated as a result of these disclosures, and that the repeal of the present limitation, with the approving signature.of Gov- ernor Hughes, would indicate that he had been convinced that this was an unnecessary restriction. From the very start the New York life companies entered strenuous re- monstrance to that feature of the law which placed an absolute limit on the amount of business they might do, emphasizing particularly the handicap which it impesed upon them as ‘com- pared with outside companies free from such conditions. - They rep- resented that if they had the organi- zation and equipment to write twice the business permitted, stopping short of their capacity meant greater bur- dens on those already insured because the proportionate expenses would be reduced by spreading over a larger number of policy holders. These argu- ments have evidently effected their purpose, for they were never seriously combatted, and assuming thorough su- pervision and regulation by state au- thorities, there is no good reason why a life insurance company should not carry all the legitimate risks which may be offered by its solicitors. No other state we know of followed New York in fixing a limitation on the amount of insurance biusiness to be done in a given time, and the repeal of this limitation by the New York legfslature, with the consent of Gov- ernor Hughes, makes it almost certain that no other state will now take it up. City Worldly or Indifferent? The United State census of relig- fous bodies reports an aggregate num- ber of communicants, or members of all denominations, up to three years ago as 32,936,445, which is'a substan- tlal increase over the last preceding census, and it finds that 80.6 per cent of the Protestants are outside the prin- cipal cities, while only 27.9 per cent of the Catholics reside in the citics of the first class, those of 300,000 popu- lation or more. Are the large cities more worldly, or simply more indifferent to religion? This question will naturally suggest itself in connection with these statis- tics and probably will go unanswered satisfactorily. Of the Catholics 47.8 per cent were outside the cities of the first, second, third and fourth classes, and Protestants in first class cities ag- gregated 7.3 per cent. The Episcopal chureh had 51.2 per cent of its mem- bers in cities of the first class and the Christian Scientists 82.6, this propa- ganda; in fact, having made little head way thus far {n the smaller munities These figures must show the oppor- tunity for a vast amount of mission work in the large cities and they must stand as irrefutable argument that the people of the big cities are not taking interest in matters of religion. Natu- rally enough, it will be argued, and with good reason, that the diversity of attractions in the city tend®to lead men's minds away from the solemn subject of religion, while the lack of diffusion in the smaller towns and communities has the opposite effect. The city church has much keener com- petition than the country church, though, strangely enough, there is an energetic effort on foot right mow to stay the “decay” of the rural church, The churches may yet find encour- | making thelr.work keep pace with the [agement in the totals of these .statiss com- | tics, for they show a big growth in all communicants, both in city and coun- try, since the Tast church census 'in 1890, and some of these figures reflect most hopeful signs. For instance, in the five leading cities the proportion of communicants to the population was: New York, 44.7 per cent; Chi cago, 40.7; Philadelphia, 38.8; Bos- ton, 62.6, and St. Louls, 46.6 per cent. Religion is still the most potent motive power in this fast-moving world Higher Ideals for Lawyers. Lawyers who are extremely sensi- tive to criticism from the laity have not the same ground for resentment when the critic is a lawyer himself, and especially one who has devoted a life- time to the practice in one form or an- other. So the strictures of President Taft upon his own profession as em- bodied in this excerpt from his address at the Ohio Northern university must have a fair hearing: No one can have a profounder admira- One must regognize that the administra- tion of justice in this country has suf- fered grievously from the intensity with | which lawyers have served their clients and the lightness of the obligation which thoy have felt to the court and to the public as officers of the court and the law to do injustice. The lack of scruples as to means which counsel too trequently exhibit in defense or preser- vation of their clients is often the occa- sion for popular resentment. The con- duct of the defensc of criminals in this country and the extremes to which coun- sel deem themselves justified In using | to save their clients from the just judg- | ment of the laws have much to do with ‘[uu- disgraceful condition in which we | tind our administration of law. The awakened moral conscience of the coun- try could find no better object for its influence than in making lawyers under- stand that their obligation to their cli- epts only to that their clients’ Tegal rights are protccted and that they need not and ought not to lose their own Identity as to officers of the law in the cause of their clients and recklessly re- sort to expedient to win the cause. | This is indeed a severe arraignment of the men whose profession it is to uphold the administration of law and facilitate the workings of justice. But, after all, the president has but voiced what most people know to be a fact, and the worst of it is, as he says, he sees no remedy except in the expulsion from the profession of those men who stoop to such practices. But how is that expulsion to be accomplished? Cer- tainly there should not be, but there evidently is, something in the ethics of the profession that restrains even reputable lawyers from . proceeding with any step looking to the disbar- ment of a disreputable attorney, so that the task the president sets may have to be devolved on others than the lawyers at the bar. no is see every California and the Oriental. California is looking for banner crops this year in its orchards, vine- yards and sugar beet fields, and it is concerned with the old, old question of ‘“The hacyest truly is plenteous, but the laborerg are. few." When . California was making its strenuous fight for Chinese exclusion the. Japanese it took exception to out- side suggestion that the day might come when the- Chinaman and Jap would be needed in the vast fruit and grape fields of the state, and long be- fore the present season the California orchardist and vineyardist have come to realize the weight of this sugges- tion. The fact is many farmers are wholly dependent upon the oriental, and since there is a scaroity of Chinese labor they have to look almost entirely to the little Jap. It is out of the question for them to seek sufficient white labor and the Indians—of the Digger type—are too indolent and too few in number to supply the demands. | Large harvests have been known to suffer because of inability to get labor- ers, because success in fruit and rais- ins, as they are produced on such tre- mendous scales in California, requires such facility in the labor market that it may work almost automatically. There {8 no time to hunt up “hands” when perishable crops must be taken care of immediately. It is highly probable that the phe- nomenal development of resources in California, involving its imperious call for hired help, will yet bring the Pa- cific coast people to a new view of this oriental question and a relaxation of ;lhc prejudice against the little prown or yellow man. Race Growing Stronger. The question has béen propounded |by & gentleman of pessimistic tenden- Edes' “‘Is not our race deterforating in | physical strength?” The answer cer- | tainly s in the negative if comparisons ;r((‘vnlly made may be taken as safe. | For example, it has been found that | the young men of Harvard graduating this year are greater in height, weight and muscular development by far than | the seniors of 1864 of either Harvard jor Yale. This improvement is at- tributed to the amount of time the col- lege man of today devotes to athletics. | This perhaps is the correct solution |and may be taken as indicating that not only the average youth in college, but those outside college, are stronger | physically in 1910 than they were in | 1864, for men, young and old, are de- veloping their physical never before. This is an age of conservation. The spirit is abroad and infectious, con- | fined not by any means to agricultural, |mineral or forestry resources, but it permeates almost every sphere of American activities, and certainly dominates in the athletic arena. Base ball, with its 60,000 clubs of boys and men from 12 years of age upward and its 750,000 players, has had a tremen- dous influence in quickening the pub- lic interest in sports and outdoor ex- ercise; golf, tennls and various other resources as tlon for the legal profession than T have. | laws and trying to close the gates to similar pastimes serve the same pur- pose, though on a smaller scale. The Young Men's Christlan assoclations, with thelr gymnasiums and field sports, are also a vital part of the movement. The fact is that with the strenuous energy with which men are today en- gaging in business, involving the necessity for so much sedentary work, | they are awakening fully to the neces- | sity of physical exercise as a means of | fitting them for their exacting bu ness, and Instead of growing weaker under the weight of this rapid age, they are conserving their vitality and making a little gain every day, which in the aggregate far overlaps the strength standards of old. e Some times excessive zeal over- shoots the mark. Why should both United States senators from Jowa think it necessary to leave their places in Washington and invade Congressman Walter 1. Smith’s district to tell his constituents not to return him to con- gress? Can it be that the candidate running against Congressman Smith | requires all this assistance to hold his own? Half a dozen democrats in the sen- ate screwed up their courage suf- ficiently to vote for the railroad bill, notwithstanding the fact that it was a republican administration measure. Prepare to have Mr. Bryan read a cur- | tain lecture either to the democrats | who voted with the republicans or to the democrats who voted against them, we don't know which. — | Ex-Governor David R. Francis is not recorded among those present and participating in the launching of the Folk 1912 presidential boom. It will be remembered that Governor Shallen- berger launched a 1912 presidential boom for ‘“‘Dave” Francis while in a convivial mood sailing down the Mis- sissippl on a waterways excursion last year. Between the warring factions of Ne- braska anti-saloonists, one side may be heard calling the other grafters, and the other charging their accusers with being sore because they are not in sole command. Is it possible that both speak the truth when talking about each other? Congressman Murdock accuses “Un- cle Joe of shooting in the dark. Per- haps he is right, but he must admit that the old man has more than once brought down some pretty good game at that. Some Good lmitators. Louisville Courier-Journal Marquis de Castellane writes that it “takes an American to make sticking com- binations.” Oh, we don’t know! Count de Castellane stuck the Gould family for quite a wad, didn't he? Good Time for a Test. Indianapolis News. The combination of all the raflwavs of the west to raise rates looks to the ordi- nary man like a clear violation of the Sherman law. The government does well to test the question. Indeed we do not sce what else it could do.

A roposal is made to abolish Memorial day rather than have it transformed into “a Fourth of July.” But is a day dese- crated, whatever its original purpose, which is devoted to sport and healthful recreation?
