Railway Salaries.

In its current issue, the Railway Age, an
article entitled, Facts Versus Fiction About Rail
way Salaries" gives figures that reassuring to
the public which has had the impression that the
officers of large systems of transportation received
at least 100000 a year, while lesser employees in
positions OF responsibility drew minimum wage
OF $4,000 or thereabouts.
According to the Railway Age, there were in
1916 4247 general officers who received $1,000 or
more, their total salaries amounting to $27,443o58,
an average of $6,46I73 The number OF division
officers who received $1,000 more LIS and
their total compensation was $4,I4o6o3, an average
of $3,7I363. The total number OF general and
division officers I9,763 and their total COM
pensaton $55,553,7o4, average OF $2SII.
The total earnings of the railways OF the United
States in 1916 were $3,473ooo,ooo and the total
operating expenses $z,277,oooooo. AS the compen-
sation OF the general officers, who received $1,000
or more was $27442,o58 or less than eghttcnths
OF per cent OF the total earnings and "a per
cent of the total operating expenses it is contend
ed that an injustice has been done TO class OF
men hitherto envied without
While the Railway Age admits that there have
been railway officers "scandaousy ovcrpaid" it
declares that Of the 10000 officers nne tcnths have
risen from the ranks and have attained their places
by sheer hard work and natural ability. This is
as it should be and with any right idea OF
the proper adjustment OF the salary problem will
grudgc lair and generous compensation to the
men whose service is so essential to commerce.

sble reparation for their heroic sacrifice in the

service of their country.
At Fort Nc. Henry the best medical and surgi-
cal skill is provided and they recover from
wounds, the soldiers taught drafting, painting
willow basket-making, stenography typewrlting'
carpentry and other trades. Such instruction neces
sariy is elementary. Among these men, who are
the first to be disabled engineers, college pro-
fessors and possessors of wealth, as well as
laborers and unskilled workers of various types,
All these mast be directed in preparing themselves
for the future in which economic conditions will
be changed and a new order of things will be
established.
There is a Department of Labor that is every
day demonstrating its usefulness. Why then should
there not be department OF education that super

Secretary of Education.

That education must be the chief concern Of
the nation in this time of war is each day more
strongly emphasized. Since last April we have
been training men for the and fitting women
to take their places at home, and now we face
new problems in the great labor OF love and graft

to usefulness the soldiers manned in battle.
When Maj. w. H. Henderson, Sanitary Corps,
u S. A. addressed the delegates at the session
of the Department of Superntendence OF the
National Educational Association, last week at At
lantic City, he presented facts that should focus
attention on the importance OF raising the Bureau
OF Education to the rank OF department with a
secretary in the Cabinet
To those who would postpone action until after
the close of the Maj. Henderson's announce

War and Art.

For the first time in the history OF the world
artists have their distinct branches OF service
in war. Camouflage has engaged many clever
painters. who have rendered invaluable aid to the
armies OF the allies. and Gen. Pershings re-
quest that eight distinguished artists be sent to
France to picture for all time the part that Amer
leans arc taking in the war gives recognition
to the possibilities of service on the part OF those
who interpret lifc-and in this case, death-with
pencil and brush
This opportunity to present in line and color the
realities OF war, after actual contact with all its
tragedy and barbaric grandeur, means much for
the future of American art and for that reason
the men chosen for this great task bear national
responsibility that includes not only the urge that
they shall be accurate historians but that they
shall so present history as to dignity and to gorify
American art.

All Scrambled Up.

On ono page OF last Saturdays paper VIC read
that Brig Gen. Cruise is under charges OF taking
money for passing upon army contracts. On an
other page We read about American sentrics who
went to sleep in the trenches in France and who
are under court-martial sentence TO be shot Then,
all mixed up about management we fold up
the paper and give it up. Be overcome by long
hours in a trench and sleep and you're shot. Keep

that she thought OF the war all the
time.
But she was mistaken.
She thought OF her neighbOrs Just as
actively as she had ever done and she
had always been very active in this
kind of thinking
With special interest she thought OF
their faults, their weaknesses, their
misdeeds, both the real and the un-
real.
The unreal she knew how to make
appear real to herself and others.
The real she emphasized and exag-
gerated.
when she wasn't talking about the
war she was talking about those
neighbors.
She bored people with the war. They
had their own ideas. very different
from hers and they accused her Of
being impractical and unpatriotic and
sentimental.
But she interested people with her
talk about the neighbors. she had 80
much news to offer, personal. intimate.

She would often sit with her head
close to another head or several other
heads, her voice so low that only in
tent listening could catch the words.

times speak OF her with contempt.
