BRANDEIs DISCUSSES RE-
CEIvERSHIP OF RAILROAD

BOSTON, June 2.-"Insatiate ex-
pansion at any cost" was the real
reason why the st. Louis & San Fran |
cisco railway system was thrown into
the hands of a receiver, according to /
Louis D. Brandeis, expert on rail-
road rates and efficiency. The actual
reasons assigned, according to this
authority "the higher labor costs, tax
es, oppressive laws and fear OF hos
tile legislation under the Wilson ad-
ministration," departs far from the
truth.
Brandeis in an interview with a
United Press reporter, compared the
"Friscor organization with the exist
ing New Haven combination. He said:
Let no man be deceived into believ-
ing that the receivership Of the st.
Louis G. San Francisco railroad is due
to higher labor costs, taxes, oppres-
sive laws, or by fear Of legislation
under the Wilson administration.
"The railroad has undoubtedly felt
the world wide financial strain, and
has suffered from local floods. The
general stringency to credit has con-
tributed to it's difficulties at just this
time. But the real cause Of its down.
fall is the curse of bigness-insatiate
expansion at any cost-expansion un-
dertaken regardless Of the dictates OF
the financial prudence, or of operat-
ing efficiency.
"With a ridiculously small amount
of stock outstanding, it has assumed
huge obligations as if there were nc
such thing as the payment Of renta
and interest and the majority of bonds
and notes. If, as has been already
suggested, the receivership results il
dismemberment of this incoheren'
system into it's natural integral parts
} separately owned and independently
operated, the present apparent mis-
fortune will prove great blessing
both to the investors in these prop
:. critics and to the general public. Fol

"The st. Louis G. San Francisco rail
e road receivership, like the present con
e dition of the New Haven and Of tn
a Boston and Maine railroad, will b.

THE HIGHER PATRIOTISM.

Fifty years ago, the word cosmo-
politan was regarded with suspicion
in every well-regulated state. 1t rep
resented to the world in general the
mental attitude of a man liable to
question that shibboleth of the disci-
Piles of the soldier Chauvin, my coun-
try, right or wrong" To be strictly
truthful. the shibboleth is not merely
the badge of all the tribe of Chauvin.
1t is very much the point of view Of
the average man, who regards the
state as the dynamo for the genera
tion of national ambitions. That this
is no exaggeration may be seen by a
quotation from quite recent utter
ance of Field Marshal Won de Goltz.
"The state" he writes, ''is force, it is
not an academy for the development
of human virtue"
1t would hardly be possible to put
more bluntly and more brutally the
theory that might is right. Yet the
very nations which support these the
ories, support, for the most part, state
churches, founded on the teaching OF
the man who said, "Put up thy sword,
and who preached the sermon on the
Mount. The greatest, perhaps the
only patriot who ever lived, was Jesus
of Nazareth, because he grasped to
the full the significance of the broth.

wonderful saying, who is my mother
and my sister and my brother? He
that doeth the will of my Father which
is in heaven, he is my mother, ant
my sister, and my brother.
The higher patriotism is generated
in the dynamo of spiritual understand
ing. 1t is, and it must be, essentially
Christian, for only real Christian
can possibly breathe the true spirit Of
cosmopolitanism. Mr.. Balfour, thu
other day, drew attention to the ten
dency of statesment to confine patriot
ism within the limits not even of al
empire, but of state. This spiri
degenerates ultimately into party 10y
atty, and, in the words of Goldsmith
gives up to party what was meant foI
mankind. 1t is absolutely impossible
for any human being to indulge il
feelings of distrust and dislike fol
someone else dwelling on the othe
side Of an arbitrary line in the middle
of a field, and to confine that feeling
to that line.
The consciousness of distrust ant
dislike for another nation cannot b,
confined to that nation, with the re
suit that the same feeling permeate.

In plain English, the state in which
the higher patriotism exists is th'
one which does develop "human vir

the new chief executive to attend the
exercises. Unless the outstanding
counties report prior to that time. the
state Board of Election Commission
ers cannot meet and canvass the vote,
and until this is done they cannot
issue certificate of election to Judge
Hays. There is fear expressed that
White, the home county of Judge S.
Brundidge, will hold out the full 80
days allowed it under the law, delay
ing the Inauguration until August 23
Acting Governor Futrell is so anx-
ious to get away and back to his home
in Paragould, that he will probably go
to Searcy and make personal appeal
for the early returns, if letters and
kilograms do not bring a favorable
action from the county election COM
missioners.
There has been considerable talk of
an opponent to Judge Hays, who must
again be candidate in the primaries
next March, if he expects to serve
more than the unexpired term of Joe
7. Robinson. This is probably "hot
air. for prominent politicians, who
would influence a candidate to enter
the race, should there be opposition to
Judge Hays, deny they contemplate
such course. They are holding back
and declare they will permit Judge
Hays to enter office unhampered with
the threat of opposition. If he makes
good in the Office there will be no OPP
position.
Judge Hays has made no announce
ment as to whom his private secretary
will be, but the impression now is
that former Assistant Private Secre-
tary Moses, under Governor Geo. w.
Donaghey, will be the man chosen.
