EQUAL STANDARD MEANS NO
MORAL STANDARD At ALL.

The particular question we are con-
sldcring Is whether the same rule or
conduct applies for women and tor
men SO far as have ever been able
to discover. an equal moral standard
means no moral standard at all. When
n means that men will have the same
Ideal OF sexual purity for themselves
that they advocate and try to enforce
for women then indeed we VIII stand
at Arma geddon and those that battle
for tho Lord will have a walkover.
But should tho skylnrk argue
that because the hippopotamus
shows q preferences for muddy
water the hsaven-touohing bird
should abandon its familiar medium
and trail its pinions In the mirs7
And I don't mean that women are
all skylarks or men all hippopota-
muses., but simply that one should
have standard as an individual
and maintain IL whatever happens.

But for the encouragement OF the

social ethics are toward the elimination

Of waterway development and has
never yet been called for, though 1t Is
only the application of business COM
mon sense to the problem of a bust
ness enterprise national in scope.
At the very outset the skilled
confronted by engineering problems.
In such a direction their training
equips them for good judgment. But
the engineering problems they have
before them altogether relate to traf-
nc. and frequently they will make an
adverse report on . project because of
the absence OF traffic. without taking
into full consideration the possibilities
OF traffic involved through the i'm
provement that Is desired. In other
words the engineering corps, looking
at the problems of waterway improve
ments solely from an engineering
standpoint, might safely be freed from
final authority In matters affecting
business development. It is left TO
them to determine what commerce
may hereafter be developed, whereas
that subject, and their control and use,
are clearly not engineering problems.
In the second place. viewing water
ways as rights Of way, owned by the
government, there has never yet been
worked out to a logical conclusion the
thought that government ownership
OF these means Of transportation might
well place the burden OF promotion
and utilization upon the governments.
As 1t is, the nation. assuming control
of navigable streams at the outset, has
devoted to their Improvement many
millions of dollars. and il present ef-
forts are successful. will devote many
millions more. Yet there is no project
for making these rivers nationally
useful, even If they are improved, nor
has there been any serious thought
throughout the nation as to the whole
Improvement, involving in 1t standard
ization, and thus the easy transporta-
ton Of goods from one part of the
nation to the other. The nearest ap-
proach to this thought of STANDARDIZED
ton is the present effort for coastal
canals; for the safe coastal canal
places every stream touching that
canal in physical contact with every
other steam.

If the two preceding points are well
taken. then there should be brought
into existence a body of sober thought
