The intense cold weather of

A New Nationalism for Railroads.


The recent Minnesota rate decision
Of Judge Sanborn, while yet to run
the gauntlet of the highest court, holds
in substance that every railroad rate
which may affect an interstate rate is
subject to the jurisdiction of the ma
tional government alone. and cannot
be changed by order of any state leg
islature or state commission. This
opinion practically declares that state
lines cannot be recognized in the op-
Grafton of the,railroads of the country;
that the conditions of transportation,
whatever they may have been at the
start, have now become thoroughly
nationalized, and that the national
government. and not the state govern
ments, must be the regulating author
ity This doctrine, if accepted won Il
be a new nationalism for our rail-
roads, and eventually constitute the
most far-reaching centralizing factor
in our civil and industrial life
The strange part of the threatened
revolution in railroad policy is that
the railroads are, themselves, clamor-
ing to have brought about what they
have for years been trying to fight off.
1t is almost the irony of fate that the
railroad spokesman, who at first de-
MED and defied the right of any pub
lie authority to intervene between
them and the shipper or passenger
who then set up that this authority
should be vested in the states and not
in the federal government, should now
reverse their position and insist that
regulation by forty-six different states
is iRtolerable and impossible, and that
federal regulation, even to Tatehak-
ing and stock limitation, is the only
feasible solution of the railroad prob
lem.
The real question is whether the
naturalization of the railroads can be
made to fit in with our dual form Of
government by judicial Interpretation
The constitution of the United States
was framed and adopted in 1888, and
it was twenty years before the first
steamboat ploughed the Hudson river,
and twenty years more before the first
experiments with steam locomotives
were made in this country. The franz
ers OF the constitution had no pre-
monition of the advent of the steam
railroad and no provision of great
railway systems traversing the con-
tinent and crossing a score of state
lines. The constitution which they
made, however, has successfully met
all the vexatious questions that have
since arisen. Complete nationalism of
railway supervision and regulation is
| logically the final step.

Industrial Armies.

According to the muster of the late
census, the industrial army Of the
United States numbers 100000
men and women. This classification
includes farmers and farm workers.
The total war strength of the world,
ing to the official figures of every
country maintaining an army, is
19,142,300. We may, therefore,
rightly be considered nation of
peace. AS to our own military
prowess, our laws provide that the
total enlisted strength of the army
shall not exceed 100000. So, while
the United States has always found
its resources sufficient in times Of
need, its own standing military army
is a small fraction of it's vast army OF
industry.
No statistics disclosed by the census
bureau may more aptly reflect the
lprodigious growth and development
of this country than these of industry.
What needs to be observed in viewing
them alongside of the question of war
| is that primarily this is a country CT
peace, with war only IN emergency
condition. Our soldiers, the vast ma
jority of them on whom any issue af-
fecting the integrity of this union
would depend for settlement, are to be
found in the fields, in the factories, in
the Office and wherever the wheels of
industry go round. Those stationed
at the various army posts over the
country, the enlisted men in blue,
would form but the nucleus in a grave
crisis, about which the full army
would be organized.
Taking this view OF the situation
might help to dispel any lingering
gloom of fear as to this country be-
coming pro-military. There is not
the remotest danger of that. Our
people are too deeply engrossed in the
business of peace. This all nurtures
and strengthens the spirit of peace
and breathes its cogent influence
abroad to other nations. If the
United States has made such marvel
Gus progress along Industrial lines in
the last decade, why doubt as to what
it will do in the future?

The Pace of Life.

A good many years ago an eminent
teacher laid down the precept that
mans besetting sin was. not avarice,
envy, selfishness or idolatry, but in
dolenee, and in the early years of this
nations life, when large patriotic
tasks had to be performed, public
speakers and the press rallied men
around that slogan.
But times have changed IL this
were the condition. These pioneer
preachers of patriotism evidently did
we'll their part to arouse people from
their lethargy. The common fault to-
day is anything else than Incidence.
With very many-too many, in fact
1t is over-industry. The other ex-
IRENE seems to have been reached,
so that even now the call is for more
moderation. In many lines of bust
ness and professional life and even
social activities the pace is excessively
swift. Daily men are falling by the
wayside in futile attempts to keep up
and others lag along for a time only
to come TO premature ends.
II is making a fearful toll upon
US, this strenuous speed at which we
are going. II is not right 10 consume
in a few years physical and mental
powers that should be spread over a
long number of years any more than
1t is right 10 shut out of life every
thing but work. The idea that it is
worry and not work that does the mis-
chief is only partially correct. 1t
would have more to commend it If il
were possible in this mad passion for

Doctors and Social Service.

1t would be interesting to know
what the practicing doctors think of
the move made by the College of
Physicians and Surgeons, which is the
medical school of the University of
Illinois, in preparing a special course
of lectures to the students on social
service as an adjunct to their work
In the world. AS a profession this
one of medicine has always done a
vast amount OF social service and
chiefly without hope OF recognition or
reward either in money or fame.
That is one of the glowing virtues
of high-grade medical men. So that
the step taken in Illinois cannot be
with the idea that doctors have been
selfish as a rule, or unconcerned with
the needs and suffering of the unfor-
tunate.
But this seems to be the first plan
to make social service a part of the
regular course of instruction to medi-
cal students and therefore the first
plan of generalizlng what has been
done only by individuals. Doubtless
the idea has come partially at least.
from the opportunities for doing good
that practicing physicians and sur
geons have met up with and en-
braced. At any rate, 1t is commend
able and might we'll be emulated by
other institutions Of this kind. Pro-
gressive medical schools elsewhere
will be forced to take the matter at
least under consideration.
No men have a better chance to
find out where and how social service
may be rendered than those whose
mission it is to minister to human ills
So it would seem to be neglecting pc
culiar advantages for doing good not

The lingo Papers.

A combination Of newspapers owned
and controlled by single individual
is blamed for fomenting the anti
Japanese spirit in this country, and
for the attempt to stir up strife be-
tween the two friendly powers. One
paper, discussing the subject, says,
IF we do not get into an imbroglio
with the Japanese it will not be the
fault of these publications. Another
expresses the reassuring view that "it
at least may be considered fortunate
that these publications reach Japan as
rarely as they find their way into the
homes of Americans of the thinking
class"
But it is not the thinking class" of
people with whom the yellow journals
work their. mischief, but the unthink-
ing These papers cater to so-called
unthinking people, and that is why
papers of this character are enabled to
WELD an extensive evil influence. They
appeal to people with grievances; they
harrow the feelings of the man who is
down, or thinks he is, and magnify his
misfortunes; they persuade him that
his troubles are the fault of certain
persons or powers more fortunate
than himself. The menace of a yell
low peril is just what they want to
conjure with.
There is much to the assertion that
If these lingo papers would cease their
agitation of the anti-Japanese ques-
ton there would be no anti-Japanese
sentiment to speak of in this country.
To keep up this sort of believing is to
fan flames of passion which cannot
help but have a bad effect.

The Radius of Learning.

The conquests of science and the
spread of intelligence have made
great inroads into the realms of
ignorance, but people are apt to have
an exaggerated impression of the area
covered by scholarship and learning.
An Illuminating ray of light is cast
on this dark subject by a report made
public in real boastfulness portraying
the activity of the publication depart
ment of one of our greatest universi-
ties for sixteen years, during which
time it had issued with its own i'm
print mo less than 134 books and
pamphlets and had sold but 800 short
of 10000 of it's publications" A
schoolboy mathematician can perform
the division showing that the average
sales of these volumes of learned
disquisitions and scientific treatiscs
were little less than 800 copies, al
though as many more were doubtless
exchanged and sent to book review
ers. On one occasion noted lecturer
was lnIIouuC0u al duOIuST great uni
versity as the author of a monograph
in the university publications, the call
for which had exhausted the first
edition of 900 copies and had COM
PEELED reprinting in a second edition.
The distance between the popular
novel, which is run off the press by
the hundred thousand and forced into
temporary circulation by modern in
dustrial methods of advertising and
distribution, and the philosophical
tome or essay that waits for highly
educated specialists to hunt it out is
still long road, because the top
peaks of literature, science and art
are climbed by very few.

Proroguing Congress.

Uncertainty as to the length of the
present extra session of congress has
elected discussion as to the power of
the president TO adjourn or prorogue
congress. This discussion loses it's
vital interest, however, in the presi-
dents fiat statement that he has no
notion of aYailing himself of any
power of this kind which the eonstitu-
ton may grant him.
AS a matter of fact some authori-
ties contend there is no such thing as
proroguing congress in the sense that
the British Parliament is prorogued
by the king and that the word pro
rogue" has no place in our vernacular
of politics. AS a matter of general
interest 1t may not be amiss to quote
just what the constitution, section 3
of article ii, says on the subject:
In case of disagreement between them
(the two houses of congress) with re-
spect to the time of adjournment, he Cthe
presidenD may adjourn them to such
time as he shall think proper.
This is the provision regulating the
presidents power to convene both
houses or either of them" in extraor-
binary session. 1t is contended that,
despite its verbiage, which seems OBJ
vious enough, the right of the chief
executive is restricted to certain we'll
defined cases of section of article
of the constitution, which provides
that congress shall assemble at least
once in every year, and such meeting
shall be on the first Monday in De-
cember. unless they shall by law ap-
point a different day"
Propagation of the British Parlia-
ment dlscontinues the pending bust
ness and compels a complete new be-
ginning when Parliament reconvenes.
Though we have seen that this has
been the order with different con-
crosses, IT is not for the same con-
gress, where adjournment between
sessions is equivalent merely to a re-

snrinptime and Eastertids.

The forceful appropriateness of
springtime and Eastertide coming to-
gether must recur to the world as
often as Easter itself. Easter is a
Christian festival, commemorating
Christ's victory over death and the
tomb, but a signal significance Of the
day is that It marks the blossoming Of
human hope; 1t breathes the spirit of
new life. How completely BETTING,
even to the finite mind. then, that
this triumph comes with the first flush
of natures new year. It deepens the
meaning of the new life, of the spirit
born again, for in the spring all things
that grow and bud and bloom are
anew. Autumn is the time of decay
and death, but spring is the season
of Joy and growth to the physical as
well as the spiritual, the season when
the spirit of newness creeps into every
tree and shrub, cooking" them out
into new beauty and strength.
The whole world is filled and per-
vaded with a certain sense of new
effort, of new ideals and aspirations.
1t is easier at this time for any man,
be he of the Christian faith or not, to
feel the worth of himself and the war
rant of a rekindled zeal to do better
and to be better. 1t is hard for any to
resist this encrgizing glow that comes
from the freshness and the purity of
the air and elements in spring. How
people look forward to it! How you
hear them say, and say yourself,
Spring will be here!" How
eagerly all embrace 1t when 1t
comes. There is a yearning for
the out-of-doors, a getting closer
to nature. The old garden spot,
the trees, the shrubbery, the
lawn-all these become the compan-
ions of man. New seeds for new har-
vests are sown, new thoughts for new
deeds. 1t is the spirit Of uplift and up
look abroad in the land. 1t is the
time of Natures matriculation. Pity
the man who cannot feel the inspira-
tion of spring and rise from the grave
of past failures to the effort of new
deeds and livelier expectations.
