EVOLUTION. PROVIDENCE AVID THE WAR

A correspondent Of The Gate CITY Classics
evolutionists as determinists and argues as we
gather from his communication. that man can
not be free moral agent and that Providence
can give no direction to human affairs if the
evolutionary process as understood by Darwin
and later thinkers, is the system under which
life on our planet is slowly developing to per
Fiction. But is this so? Who now questions
the free moral agency of human beings within
limits which are wide if not always easy to fix /?
Men are free to obey or break the laws of the
land. Some do dash themselves in furious re-
volt against Them but they only break them
selves. The development of the mass to orderl-
ness and respect for law goes on. So it is with
the Great Law. individuals invite disaster by
resisting it; but as men learn that it is self-en-
forcing and its penalties are inescapable thew

A "klLL-JoY" IN BUSINESS.

Des Moines Capital: Secretary Nc
Adoo, who is director of all the rail-
roads in the United States, has issued
an order requiring politeness from the
railway employees toward their pat
rons. 1t has been intimated to Mr..
McAdoo that the employees of the rail-
ways were anxious to make govern
ment ownership unpopular. Hence
they were neglectful of some OF those
attentions and courtesies which used
to characterize all railway employees.
The governmest management has
taken the spirit out of the railroad
work because the railroads have been
converted into one vast machine. The
travelling passenger agents, noted for
their angelic natures, and their
anxiety for business, have been
given other work to do. Every man
who solicited freight to be carried
over certain lines is no longer en-
gagged in that work. Therefore his
politeness has not been much in de-
mand. In fact, government manage
ment has made railroading a dull and
insipid business The fine printing
which the railroads used to send out
is no longer in evidence. The glow
ing stories about lakes and mountains
are things of the past. General
Director McAdoo must understand
that people only work well when
they work with spirit In the army
they call 1t morale" How is anyone
to maintain the morale of a great
railway system when there is. nothing
TO gain by doing big days work
There is an absence of poIietness in
other directions. Those concerns
which are making vast sums of money
out of the war are careless in regard
to their politeness. Early in the
afternoon they bid their prosperous
places goodby and go out to seek
some kind of joy. The economic
revolution in the United States is an
eye-opener to considerable number |
of people. 1t brings out some good. |
some bad in all men. However. we |
think the absence of politeness on |
the part of railroad men is more |
imaginary than real

A NEW CHILD LABOR BILL.

Representative Edward Heating, of Colorado,
stands sponsor for new measure which would
directly prohibit the labor of children under
fourteen years Of age at any time and OF chill
Idren between the ages of fourteen and sixteen
for more than eight hours day or at night In
factories, and of children under sixteen years
tof age in mines and quar1ies These are the
standards of the federal child labor law recently
declared unconstitutional by the supreme court
The new bill seeks to restore and maintain
these standards during the war by direct pro-
hibition under the war power of congress, as
there is no question of the authority Of con-
gress to meet the present emergency in this way.
It is believed by child welfare workers that
prompt action by the federal government is
needed, since it is known that many children
went back to work Immediately upon the decis-
ion of the court, and that the lure Of high wages
on the one hand and the high cost of living on
the other are inducing many others to keep out
of school in the states which have not enacted
these standards
The passage of the bill as a war measure will
give those interested in permanent child labor
legislation time to study the best methods of
meeting the objections of the supreme court to
the old law and to frame bill for time of peace
calculated to pass the test of constitutionality.

WINTER WHEAT CROP INCREASE.

The farmers are asked to increase their acre
age of winter wheat this fall The government
wants them to devote forty five million acres
to this cereal, which is an increase of from seven
to twelve per cent. for the country as whole
over the acreage sown last season With an al
lowance of am average abandonment of ten per
cent. of the acreage for winter killing it is
figured that a harvest of six hundred and thirty
six million bushels of winter wheat may be ex-
pected, compared with estimated yield OF
winter wheat this year, and based on a yield
of fifteen and seven enths bushels, the last ten
year average
A big wheat crop will be needed next year
and the present price, which undoubtedly will
be continued another season, warrants the CIV
ing of extra attention to the preparation of the
seed bed and liberal use of fertilizers, insur
ing the crop good start before winter. A ten
per cent. loss due to winter killing seriously cuts
the profits wheat, and every possible means
should be taken to reduce this loss to mini

WHEREIN is THE HARM?

Clemenceau in France, Lloyd George in Eng
land, General March in Washington, Mr.. Hoover
in London have all implied, if not actually stat
ed, that there is strong reason for hope that the
may be ended next year by the surrender
of German militarism to the terms the allies
must in justice to themselves dictate to it. Now
some anxious, DIRECTORS, probably conscientious,
are querying the wisdom of exciting hope in the
public mind that set limit to the wars course
is possible. No spirit of prophecy inspires any
of the men who look forward hopefully; they are
simply reasoning from what they know in the
present and of the future. What they say they
make contingent on the upkeep Of the combined
national powers of the allies and of this nation
in particular. They foresee the might of the
nations banded against Germany focused in
the coming year in effort likely to be sue
cessful. No harm can come from such expires
sion of opinion and much good may come of it.
Certainly if it helps to bring the allied powers
to focus it will help We have got to win this
war and we shall win-in year if we possibly
can. What harm is there in believing that we
can?

Davenport Times: Sunday on the
east side of the Mississippi was mark
ed by silence unknown since the pre-
automobile days. The merry blasts Of

riding and its attendant waste of gaso-
