WHAT'S IDEALISM?
Is 1t Not the Doctrine That Drsap-

PVA" WYNN AVu oU0p Ou lhCkt
To THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-sir: May,
inquire Of your readers who have a
knowledge OF metaphysics what ideal.
ism" Is?
When the alleged philosophy is pre-
scented in polysyllables. complex and
lengthy sentences and copious sprin-
Killing Of Greek and Latin, 1t appears to
be the Quintessence OF learning, but
when the mass of verbiage Is reduced to
the plainest terms It appears to be a
vagary and an absurdity.
1t Is asserted that matter does not
exist and that only ideas are real.
When we think we see houses and
trolley cars. we are victims Of hallu-
cination. Likewise, the men and women
who appear to be about US are only
products Of our Imagination, entirely
subjective. and mere ideas.
Bvt here is a dlficulty: II you are
Just experiencing various illusions, and
there are no real persons about you.
then you are the only real person on
earth. Or are you too deceiving your
self with the notion that you have
material existence?
thought that I had become befogged
by reading books on this subject, but
In the last book that thought read
found that even books have no OBJ
jective reality. and SO I don't know
how my confusion occurred. Now, II
you are actually an editor and not
phantasm, and can permit me to ,ex-
ternalize my ideas in your columns, It
may be that others, II there are such.
will tell me briefly and in plain Eng
lish just what 'idealism'' Is. so that my
ruisconception can be corrected.

The Golden Rule on Both Sides OF
the window.

The announcement of the Director
General Of Railroads that the public
be damned" policy will not be toler-
ated Is followed up by the equally
assuring and even more graceful adj
dress to the railroad employees ut
tered by Mr.. GEORGE A. CULLEN, chair
man Of the, Railroad Administrat ton
Committee. Mr.. CuLLES, whose
knowledge Of the desires of the travel
ling public and the weaknesses of
ticket office humanity is even more
intimate than Mr.. McADoo's. almost
puts the case in the title Of his brief
sermon, Service and Civility." He
wishes the Golden Rule applied to
the problems Of the weary and con-
fused passenger:
"Civ.lity is not mask to be put on
"a smile or an external assumption OF
politeness. To be of any lasting value
in the days work. the weeks work, the
years work. 1t must come from an hon.
est and whole hearted desire to put
yourself in the other fellows place. In
other woris--it must come from think
ing how you would like to be treated IL
you were asking for information or
trying to secure transportation and any
OF the various forms of accommodations
that the Railroad Administration has
to furnish on its trains and steamships
In word. 1t is the constant practical
application OF the Golden Rule which,
in your work particularly, is more es-
sential than all the so-called rules and
regulations our committee can possibly
set down for your guidance"
If the railroad employees will fol-
low Mr.. CULLEN's good advice they
will discover that the Golden Rule
works both ways and that a petulant
passenger may be transformed into an
admirlng friend by the magic of
kind word. a wise suggestion. or the
mere attitude Of willingness. II Is a
blessed relief to the travelling public
to know that the Railroad Admins
tratlon is going about the passenger
business as IL 1t had something to sell
and desired to sell 1t and have
pleased customer.

ASK MILL
MORE THAN
LAST YEAR

1t was explained ta.1 morning by
the department Of euucation of the
city that the election TO be held next
Tuesday does not mean that the
schools are asking for four mills
more than the levy allowed last year.
The facts concerning the election
are as follows: The law allows a
regular five mill levy All levies
over that must be sanctioned by an
election. The balloting next Tues.
day will determine whether the
schools will be given a four nill levy
more than the five allowed by law
or a total Of nine mills. Last year
the levy was eight mills, thus the
schools are asking that levy Of
only one mill more than was used
last year is being asked
