1t was inevitable that the prudes
should prowl in the direction of the
Century Theatre. There the Ballet
Russo, which has conquered every
capital Of Europe, is to be seen. These
dancers are showing TO our country
n blend of music, pantomime and
dance which has been acclaimed
everywhere abroad as a most inter-
esting contribution to modern inter
pretativc art.
In all that the interesting visitors
To New York have TO offer 1t is only
II second or two of fancied immoral
ity that calls forth any expression of
emotion. The faun must alter hi,
demeanor in an enthusiastically small
way. Then the slaves in the harem
must not act as slaves would under
any such conditions.
Thus is modesty indicated. Prud-
cry settles back contentedly on its
throne To await the next opportunity

what has seemed to the rest OF the
world only artistic and expressive.

The Increased Retinue OF Major

American diplomat not only appointed
by the President but confirmed by the
Senate ms the Constitution requires,
had been sen all the way to Switzer-
land TO meet MAGMA DoMUs and TO
accompany that august II uncontirmed
Emissary to Berlin.
Greater things are now made pub
lie concerning the ceremonial honors
paid to MAGMA DoMrs by the dip
lomatic establishment abroad. The
Erentng Post printed yesterday a des-
patch from Geneva reporting that
MAGMA DoMus is on his way accom-.
panied not by n single Secretary of
the Embassy but by a cortege of fwo
Secretaries. who went from Berlin to
Geneva to meet him.
If this statement shall he confirmed
unlike MAGMA DoMUs. who has never
been confirmed as Emissary) we shall
move his promotion TO the rank and
style Of MAJOR DoNrs.
The new adjective Of dimensions
will have the incidental advantage
of military aroma. or bouquet and,
resting IN the sure foundation of

Railroad Wages as Fixed Charges.

There i always II possibility that

road unions are preparing TO force
on the country will engender IA great
deal more heat than light. Yet if the
issues involved in the demand which
is shaping for n standard eight hour

corollary Of n vast increase In pay
roll expenditures. are not decided by
appeals 10 reason the country must
reap II harvest of disaster.
larger part of the charge made by
the railroads for performing trans
%portation service. Payments TO labor
come out Of the public pocket, being
extracted therefrom by means of
freight and passenger rates. The
public is accordingly vitality inter
estcd in II clear understanding Of the
railroad wage question.
1t is in the beginning n question of
h'N Ill'li ln' lullltutlS van SNtIlu Ill
the way Of an increasing imitation Of
operating expenses. In the end il is
II question of what the public will
stand In the way Of railroad rates
which produce the out Of
which railroad expenses are met.
One of the fundamental fnllacies Of
the era of railroad batting by politi-
cal crusaders, which seems to have
about concluded, was that railroad
freight and passenger rates were de-
termined by railroad capitalization,
II was assumed that the carriers rs
II whole were overcapitalized and
that their rates for service. on this
%fnllari0uS theory Of relations, were
therefore excessive. Hence the
downward regulation Of rates by leg
iSlation and commission edlct In the
last decnde.
As n matter Of fact railroad rates
have been far too independent of
capitalization. No portion of rail
road income has been considered n
devoted to n proper or necessary re,
turn on capital. What are commonly
called fixed charges on capital &C
| count are not fixed at all.
Proof Of this is furnished by the
record of railroad ~insolyencies, which
in the last two years was swellcd tC
the greatest total OF bankruptcy II
the counrry's history, Railroads
have gone into rcceivership precisely
because they could not pay the fixed
charges commonly 50 called. Interest
on bonds and notes has been de
faulted precisely in order that courts
might take over the administration
of railroad property in order that I,
might perform the service required o
il by tn" public,
Yet in all the record Of railroad
rcreiyerships II fact stands out
clear. Wages have IN he paid. They

Of the only two items which can be

are In theory. the charges on railroad

while 1t Is not capitalization which
establishes the basis of railroad rate
making. irrespective Of what the facts
might be or ought to be. there is the
closest kind Of relation between rail
