FAvORs GOVERNMENT
REGULATION OF RATES.

Seattle July ia. b. Sticlxney,
former president of the Chicago Great
Western, In an interview yesterday
discussing government regulations OF
rates, said:
mot until all railroads are con-
solldated or the government proceeds
to do dii ectly what 1t now attempts
TO do indirectly, viz: fixes absolu-
ltely all railroad rates will there be
an era of stability and of peace and
fair play both to the railroads and to
the public.
Under the method now pursued by
ftbe government It would seem to be
the purpose to keep the railroads
apart, close their ears and let then
fight IL cut among themselves. The
result Is underhanded and unfair com
lpetition, with secret rates to favor
shippers or favor localities and con
tinual dissension and unrest.
Competition between railroads
make low rates at competitive points
and they are Obliged to recoup by ex
cessive charges at noncompetitiv'
points"

FLIRTING AS AN EXACT SCIENCE

FLIRTING AS AN EXACT SCIENCE
Harvard University has for many
years embodied the possibilities OF
education in almost every direction to-
ward which the young idea would care
to shoot; but WITH the retirement of
the venerable President Eliot it has
taken a positively unique step in es-
tatlisllng a chair of Irritation. 1t is
not formal act OF the faculty, and Is
not result of an endowment fund
from Carnegie or Rockefeller, but is
rather the voluntary performance Of a
brilliant professor, George Herbert
Palmer, somewhat unknown to fame
heretofore except as the Oldest member
of the faculty, an enthusiast on flood
and field, at football and spiels with
the oars on the Thames at New Lon
don. His personal establishment of
the chair of filtration at Harvard Is
an exploit which is always ready as
famous as the shot that rang round
the world.
| Professor Palmer Is an advocate of
| filtration as one of the methods Of in
ltellectual athletics which brightens
the wits OF the sexes as nothing else
can. To him 1t is perfectly harmless,
although he admits that II carried to
an extreme 1t might result in mental
castastIophe. His main argument is
that innocent filtration Is almost a
necessary accessory of successful mar
riage, as in no other way can the
young man and woman learn so
Thoroughly the temperament and
characteristics of each other.
The word fllrt is of rather obscure
origin, but it was used in medieval
aiterature just as the word flimflam
was employed In the days of Shake
speare. and often appears in the
works OF Beaumont and Fletcher, but
was then used to convey an impress
sion o, quick and sudden action; from
that came its use for sharp and racy
retort.. "In days Of old when knights
were bold" and ladies of the courts
were most accomplished in making
q play OF words, frivolous and other
wise, filtration with words and eyes
and fans and 'kerchiefs was a master
terpiece of art in all shades and colors.
With the making OF the first diction-
aries the word came to be defined
among other things as a play at
courtship, practice of coquettish dis
cussioLs. engaging In amatory pas
time" and one cynical defnitor in
terpreted 1t 'in general to make in
sincere advances Of any kind"
Thomas Bailey Aldrich, in his his.
tory or "A Bad Boy" brings in the
statement that according to Dame
Jocelyn, George Washington flirted
with her just a little bit-in what a
stately and highly finished manner
may be imagined" Unquestionably Il
Is filtration OF the George Washington
and Dame Jocelyn type that Is advo.
Gated by Professor Palmer, not the
kind that is as dangerous as playing
with fire. The professor inevitably
has made himself an immediate target
for inconsiderate abjurgation, but let
the Whole world suspend judgment
until that time when the perfect result
OF the establishment Harvard OF the
chair of filtration can be measured.
