Industrial and Intellectual Develop

The last public lecture in the Civic Center
course at the Central High School was de-
livered Tuesday evening by Carroll D..
Wright. United States commissioner Of la
Dor on THE Relations of the Modern In
Gustrial System to Intellectual Develop
m.nt." The speaker took the ground that
the factory system. notwithstanding the
evils connected with 1t, was on the whole
much more favorable to the mental devel-
opment of the workers than the old system
OF household industry which it replaced
He depicted the wretched condition of the
working classes Of two or three centuries
ago, in contrast with the comparative com
fort of today.
The discussion following the lecture was
opened by DIR. Oscar Lowell Triggs of the
University of Chicago. who has taken a
prominent part in the arts and crafts
movement in Chicago He was less favor
ably disposed to the factory system than
was Mr.. Wright. and expressed the belief
that the ultimate system of industry would
be something better than either the fac
tory system or the old household system.
AS Indicating one direction in which indus
try might develop, he referred to the eX-
pertinent, carried out In Chicago, of estab-
lishng work rooms where individual work
men could work their own account, FILL
ing whatever orders they could get for
their products.

The Hillsdae Citizens Association has
taken action on a communication signed by

The association passed a resolution re-
citing that reputable members of the Con-

nothing to do with the statement, and that

erS of the railway brotherhoOds the report
says it appears clear that these organiza-

been highly beneficial to their members and
to the railway service generally. NO spe-
cial legislation in regard to wages of rail-
way employees is suggested by witnesses.
Very few witnesses have advocated gov
eminent ownership of railways
Little complaint has been made by wit
resses,'' the report says, ION the ground
that passenger fares are excessive or dis
eliminating. although two or three declare
that our fares are considerably higher than
those in European countries.
There d general agreement among
all classes of witnesses that the issue of
free passes is carried to a degree that
makes it d serious evil. but 1t Is generally
claimed that fewer passes are issued than
ten years ago. and that the railways are
more inclined to reduce the number. There
is comparatively little complaint the
part of witnesses concerning excessive
freight rates, aside from complaints regard

Inter>tate Commerce Commissions
Power.

at is proposed by two or three witnesses
that the Interstate commerce commission
should have power to prepare general
freight classificationS and schedules of
rates in the first instance, instead of being
confined as at present to action com
paints concerning established rates and to
the mere ability to declare existing rates
unreasonable without prescribing uther
rates Other " Illnesses think II would be
.ufiit.ient to give the commission power to
revis, tariffs framed by the railroads, either
on it,. own initiative or after complaint ana

Of these witnesses hold that the decision of
thu commission in these cases should he
final and not subject TO appeal to the
courts. They urge that the commission has
technical knowledge of railway matters
which is wanting in the judges. Others
woG,d be W Hing 10 have the courts review
the decision, although they would have II

John felt abashed, to say the least
| of it, and it was fortunate for him
| that his wife was at his back at that
moment, assisting him in removing
his coat, instead of looking in his
face, otherwise she might have asked
some questions that he would have

satisfaction.
Mrs. Kimball hung her husbands
coat on its proper peg. helped him on
with his smoking jacket, chatting
gayly all the while, and paused only
for him to take his seat. John seemed
to suddenly realize that the time had
arrived for him to do something, and
he accordingly sat down, very clums-
lily, in his chair and stared, very va
cantly, at the fire. His wife's voice
aroused him, and he jumped like a
man who has suddenly and uneX-
pectedly come in contact with the
business end of pin. John, dear"
she was saying, won't you remove
your shoes, put on your slippers, light
your pipe, and let me finish reading

Certainly, Helen, I'll take pleasure
in listening to you. There is, really,
nothing that / enjoy more. II was

that l quite forgot myself" And
John proceeded to divest himself of
his shoes and don his slippers in the
greatest haste.
"Of what were you thinking,
John?" she asked, coming over and
placing her hand fondly upon his
shoulder.
Johns face crimsoned, and he tied
two hard knots in his shoestring be-
fore he realized what he was doing.
"Why-er-I was thinking OF the
way some fellows spend New Years
night"
slow do some fellows spend New
Years night, John, dear-more pleas
antly than you do?"
John had just succeeded in untying
the two knots in his shoestring when
his wife's last question frightened
him into tying three others. She no.
ticed his embarrassment, but could
not account for it, and, without wait
ing for his reply, she said; Come,
John, you'll never get your shoes of
