TIE RAILROAD CRISIS.

In an editorial comment on Judge
Knapp's recent railroad crisis speech.
The New York Journal of Commerce
says:
The former chairman Of the inter
state commerce commission and pres
ent presiding Judge of the commerce
court has been delivering a lecture at
Philadelphia on the interstate com
merce problem. In which there was
nothing particularly new except a
prognostication of coming danger in
dealing with railroads, The tone Of
alarm In that seems hardly becoming
In one holding judicial position that
has a close relation to the subject.
Mr. Knapp is represented as telling
his audience that "a crisis is coming
which will test the policy of the gov
ernmenfs rate regulation system, and
that IL that fails governmental own
ership will be the only alternative.
The Following are his own words as
quoted: Il see serious danger I'm ths
present condition. Congress In con-
stantly agitated. So are the lcgisla-
lures Of all the states. Forty state
commissions are wrestling with the
subject. There Is the menace of stub
porn conflict between railroads and
their 100000 organized employees. FL
naliy there is a menace Of political In
nuence. II the regulation which is now
sought to be enforced shall be found
inadequate, government ownership of
the railroads is the only alternative"
Judge Knapp's lecture, which was de-
ivered before a club Of the PennsyI-
vania university. was on the whole in
structive to students, but there seems
TO have been no occasion for INJECTING
into 1t that kind Of sensational vatic-
ination about the future and a crisis
that is to come within the next gem
Grafton"
We have been given to understand
that considerable progress had already
been made in solving the problem of
rate regulation. and the agitation in
congress and state legislatures hiss
been subsiding rather than increasing.
Mr.. Knapp himself declared that old
abuses of preference, discrimination
and rebates had become rare. and we
know that railroad officers nowadays
quite generally profess to be only anx-
ious to comply with all reasonable re-
Exactly what Is meant |
by the menace of political influence"
Is not clear. The influence OF railroads |
In politics and Of politicians in rail. /
road management has been much more /
active in the past than in the present.
and 1t seems to be disappearing. 1t
certainly would not be eliminated by
government ownership. AS to a men
ace of stubborn conflict between the
and their employees, there is
40 danger to be apprehended from that
source II the principles of freedom
and reasonable competition in labor
rs well as in the use OF capital is TO
be maintained. Government reEula-
ion may have to reach the settlement
u labor conflicts on railroads engaged
n interstate commerce, but that is
lot a matter to raise alarm over.

DIVIDING CHINA.

In the present upheaval in China
many proposals are being made for
fhe division Of the empire into two or
more Independent nations. Some Of
the revolutionary leaders appear to be
inclined toward the formation Of not
less than three or four countries-by
separating China along lines not vet
clearly defined
II Is the hope OF the we'll wishers
Of the Chinese that no such splittfng

speakink Of the growth III edwca .
ton IN the unised states rhs Chicago
Record Herald recently had the fol-
lowing editoriaas ~
Great nateranl progress was made
ny the national public school system
u the decade between 1900 and 1910.
The annual income OF the public
schools Increased from sg2o, 900. 600 to
ye2S,000,0oo and the number or
pupils enrolled increased about so per
esnt In the high schools alone the
increase was from $4,000 to 900, 900
pupils. As the total population OF the
country increased 81 per cent in the
decade, public school education seems
70 have gone ahead with bound.
It Is not so satisfactory, however
TO learn that the average annual at
tendance Of children enrolled was only
ninety mine days In 1900 and ia DAYS
In 1910. The latter figure represents
study for only a little more than
third Of the year with Sundays and
holidays excluded
Those who have advocated higher
salaries for teachers should note that
the average pay of men has increased
from $3.50 to $50 a month and OF
women from $34 a month to $50.

We had always heard of Uncle Peter
as a rich relative VINO lived down east.
We had never known him intimately.
1t seems much more difficult to be-
come chummy with rich relatives than
with poor ones, but we had longed to
know him and, what Ii more to the
point, to have him know us. So far as
Uncle Peter was concerned, we had
never existed. and 1t was matter OF
constant regret to us. One day a
collect" telegram came from one Of
the cousins downs east. The telegram
read:
Uncle Peter will arrive at your
