AoHE eternal fitness of things
~ was suggested TO public at
J tention last week by the
statement that the churches
are matching attendance rec
cfds with the theaters and that appar-
entity the latter are being considered
somewhat in the nature of rivals for
public patronage. II was even suggest
ed that the churches provide entertain
nsent' of some Kind TO offset the coupe-
tttion- The matter introduces an inter-
est.ng subject for specuia zion and per-
laps. for discussion. The suggestion of
entertainment in the churches is said to
be regarded in theatrical quarters as a
Qualification for Sunday performances.
At first blush the contention would
seem 70 Indicate that the public thought
does not reach far beyond the problem

Judgment. however. will be SLOW to con-
ctde this. The war has demonstrated
that spiritually the people As = whole
Will rise to great heights and suffer I'M

Is admitted that the same people who
re willing to economic to the point OF
privation for principle will just as freely
spend their money to be entertained,
often. il is suspected, denying them
selves the necessaries for amusement.
It's q singular psychology involved in
the problem presented, but one. beyond
question, which the church will be fully
able to solve Few will care to believe
that there is the possibility of a real at
tempt at competition between the
church and the theater. No argument
should be furnished for such a conten-

INF R0vEMENT Of
RAILROADS To CO
ON, SAYS HINES
In Spite of Financial Difficult
ties as Much as Possible
viii Be Done to Give En-
pIOyn1ent to LABOR,

Pittsburgh, Pa, March 26.-Despite
the financial predicament of the rail-
roads, the railroad administration
plans to carry out as much of its i'm
proNement program as possible to
keep labor employed and the roads in
repair, Walker d. Hines director gen.
eral of railroads, declared in an ad-
dress tonight before the Pittsburgh
Traffic club. He asked for more
adequate understanding on the part
of the public of the problems facing
the railroads during the war ana IN
the immediate future and presented
suggestions for operating roads pri-
yately under public regulation us a
permanent solution of the problem.
He emphasized that the ability of the
railroad administration to finance it
self in spite Of the failure of its APP
preparation does not mean that it Will
not need the appropriation as soon as
congress meets again.
Referring to the improvement pro-
gram, Mr.. Hines said:
unfortunately the impression has
gone out that the railroad admins
tration has decided to cut off all i'm
provement work, including additions
and betterments and maintenance.
This is not a fact. What has hap
pened is that we are taking steps 10
give the railroad corporation fun OPP
pOrtunity to determine whether they
should assent to the work which they
must finance. 1t is the intention OF
the railroad administration to carry
forward Just as much additions ana
betterments and maintenance work as
possible in order that labor may not
be thrown out of employment unnec-
essarily land in order that the rail-
roads be(kept in good repair and eX-
tended to meet the needs of the situa-
ton
Proposing eventual private opera
ton with government SUPERVISION,
Mr.. Hines said:
"My own idea is that a moderate
guaranty on capital should be pre-
scribed (by the government so as to
give a reasonable assurance to capt.
tal, and that there should be right
to participation in any profits MADE
in excess of that guaranty 50 as to
furnish the needed stimulus to pri-
vate initiative.
~ further believe that the govern
ment should be strongly represented
on the boards Of directors and that
these government directors should
constitute an important part OF line
regulating body which prescribes the
rates so that this regulating body
will know as necessities develop that
the necessities are developing and
will be able to meet the needs Of the
situation much more nearly at the
time the needs arise than is possible
at present. .,
II do not believe these Fundamental
chances can be successfully carried
through except by the construction
of a comparatively few great railroad
corporations, each of which will sc
combine the prosperous and unpros-
porous roads as to present a fair av-
erage result and get away from the
hopeless diversity in earnings which
has existed in the past; and upor
each of which it will be practicable
to have ample governmental repre-
gnntotinf -
