BUSINESS AND SCIENCE
nv Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane.)

All permanency and efficiency rest
upon science. That is to say, human
effort or opinion, not based on facts, gets
nowhere. II is a cropping in the dark.
All that is done has to be undone.
The most important concerns Of the
race are not based on science at all, but
upon guesswork and blind experiment.
] refer to (1) business. (2) government,
spaces sake, only the first, business.
The boy at school is taught that sci
ence, or knowledge, is the basis Of all
intelligent thought and action. The uni
verse cannot be understood even partially
without Newton's formula, and without
spectrum analysis; there could be no
chemistry without the law Of atomic
equivalents, nor any application Of cleo
tricity without Ohm's law; the unity Of
animate nature and mans place in 1t
are revealed by Darwin's Investigations,
and the researches of Pasteur underlie
modern pathology. And so on.
But when said boy gets through
school, out into the world and into BUSH
ness, he finds himself in realm without
scientific foundations.
Money, on which business depends, is

hence depends on chance Besides this,
the gold supply is inadequate. 1t Is less
than one-ffth of one per cent of the
commercial values resting upon II for

voracities of privately owned capital

solvent.
There is also no science in the bust
ness of production, and less than none
in the art of distribution Of products.
The great thinkers plainly see this.
John Stuart Mill declared: THE idea
Of distributive justice, or any proportion
atty between success and exertion, Is in
chimerical as to be relegated to the
region Of romance"
William Jandus states the case thus:
From Smith to Mill, and from
Comte to Herbert Spencer, every distin-
guished writer on social science takes il
for granted that injustice Is inherent in
human affairs, and that social equity Is
not matter of applied economies. but
|of discretional morals and organized
|benevolence."
Upon basic inequities, such as endow-
nents, inheritance, and unlimited pri-
vate wealth control, our whole so-called
Science" Of law is built.
What we need. therefore, TO bring jus
tice and universal well-being to mankind
is not hot reformers, not those who pit
class against class, not parties and par
tisan passions, not gospels, cults, and
isms; but science, knowledge of truth.

prejudice and opinion.
: The world of business awaits It's

our business, and we shall no more build

The practical man, the hard-headed,
successful man is Of no use to the world

Sending Motorman to Jail
Won't Make Crossings Safe


Responsibility for the death Of 10 peo-
pie in the wreck of Forrest. car, last
week, by Detroit. Toledo & Ironton
train Is being thrown by witness after
witness, in Coroner Burgess inquest, on
the shoulders on the student motorman.
John C. Westover
II has become more and more APP
parent, day by day, that if the prosecut-
ing attorney so chooses, he can try West
over for manslaughter and if the motor
man is found guilty, he can be given a
penal term up to Is years.
No one who has followed the testimony
closely, or who has seen Westover's
pathetic eagerness to answer questions.
% explain what even to him seems mex
plicable- life and security turned in an
instant, by the slight movement of a
lever, into disaster and horrible death
can believe that TO SEND THIS MAN
TO PRISON WILL DO ANYONE ANY
GOOD.
II win not do Westover any good, for
the mans act was done without malice,
without intention, in excitement that un-
balanced him at moment that called for
the utmost coolness.
What man is there among US who does
not sometimes lose his head; and if this
were . crime. rather than weakness of
I human nature, which one of US would not
rpend months in prison!
II win not do the public any good.
The effect Of the accident has been to
make motormen and conductors more
careful, and this effect will not be height
ened or heightened by making an exam
pie Of Westover.
Care viii be exercised for few days,
: few weeks, until the memory of the dis
aster wears away as time crowds in other
events.
Then the same risks will be taken, the
same dangers lightly faced
UNLESS THOSE DANGERS ARE
REMOVED.
There is only one way to put stop to
n crossing accidents, and that is to RE-
MOVE THE POSSIBILITY OF ACCI.
DENT.
So long as a motorman looks to his
conductor, rather than to himself; so
long as q conductor looks to flagman,
rather than to himself; so long as either
look to crossing officer; so long as the
crossing officer believes that the car
crew are capable of looking out for them
selves--in short, 50 long as care can be
shifted from one fallible human being to
another, accidents win happen.
The only sure way to avoid an accident
at grade crossing is to eliminate the
grade crossing.
We repeat, that is the ONLY SURE
WAY, for then neither the human ele-
ment can fail, nor the mechanical.
A fairly good way to avoid an accident
It grade crossing, and then only until
the grades can be separated, is to install
derailer, AND SEE THAT 1T is KEPT
I IN WORKING ORDER.
But here enters the human element
TO- zee that 1t is kept in working order.
Had the derailer at the ID. T. g. |. cross.
ing been in working order. the freight
train could not have hit the car.
Either the car would not have been
allowed to cross the track, or the freight
train would not have been allowed to

Either the car or the train would have
been derailed. depending on which had

LAWS GOVERNING
SUBSCRIPTIONS

Most readers Of newspapers are not
familiar with the laws governing sub
scriptions.
Here are the decisions Of the United
States court on the subject:
Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their sub
scriptions.
If the subscribers order discon-
tinuance Of their publication the pub
Usher may continue to send them until
all dues are paid.
If the subscriber refuses to take
periodicals from the post Office to
which they are directed he is respon-
sible until he has settled his bill and
ordered the paper discontinued
If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher and
the papers are sent to his former adj
dress, the subscriber is held respon-
sible
The courts have held that refusing
to take periodicals from the post Office
or removing and leaving them uncalled
for is prima facia evidence of intention
to defraud
If subscribers pay in advance, they
are bound to give notice at the end Of
the time if they do not wish to con-
tinue taking it, otherwise the subscrib
err is responsible until express notice
with payment of all arrearage is sent
to the publisher.-Rutherford On. J.) |
