BY DIR. JAMES I. VANCE

While God is ornnipotent, omnis-
cient, and omnipresent, there are
some things He cannot do.
God cannot lie. He would cease TO
be God were He guilty OF duplicity.
God cannot sin. He cannot deny
Himself. He Is limited. therefore. by
His own nature. The only freedom
God has is to act in harmony with
what God Is.
God cannot make two particles Of
matter occupy the same space at
the same time. At any rate, such
ability is inconccivablc 20 the human
mind. God cannot do a physical i'm
possibility. despite the fact that lie
Is omnipotent.
God cannot make n creature who
has freedom OF choice but who does
not have freedom of choice. He Is
omnIpotent, burt He cannot do n
moral any more than He can do a
physical impossibility.
And SO when God came to make
man, He had His choice--either to
give freedom OF choice. or to with
hold IT,

ASK ALL D. c. LINES
T0FARE HEARINGS
Action of Utilities Board Hint
Increase Would Affect
Every Company.

The Capital Traction Company and
the Washington Virginia Railway
Company will be a party to the hear
ings before the Public Utilities Com
mission on the petition of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany for an increase In fare to seven
cents straight, with two-cent charge
for transfers. This is taken to in
dictate that any increase granted will
apply to all railway companies in the
District.
Walter c. Allen. executive secrs-
tary to the commission. announced
that these companies had been d.
rected to appear at the first hearing
in the board room Of the District
Building on Tuesday. March %. at 10
n. m. The first hearing was original
ly set for March IS, the change in
date being made yesterday.
IaJunctien step Likely.
II an increase in fare Is allowed by
the commission on all railway lines,

junction. the w. r. & e. no doubt
will be willing to have q lower fare.
Need for congressional action to
solve the street railway problem is
greater today than It has been at
any time during the past Ave years.
1t is hoped by the public that Con-
gress will offer some relief before
the commission decides what action
to take on the plea for q higher fare
1t Is very probable that the Capital
Traction Company will shortly grant
an increase in wages to its employees
When this is done the Washington
Railway and Electric Company will
be almost compelled to follow or face
wholesale designations. Any differ
ence in wages between the two COM
panies would have a material effect
toward labor conditions
No Wage Raise, says Han.
However. william F. Ham. presi-
dent Of the w. r. & E. states that
the company cannot afford to grant
An increase. even IL the commission
allows a straight 7-cent fare.
1.-THE 7-cent fare will only be euf-
ficient to pay the last increase Of
three cents an hour" Ham says. at
Is impossible to grant higher wages"
But the company must increase
wages II the Capital Traction Com
pany does. Unless Congressional re-
lief comes, there is only one thing
the company can do to meet increased
salaries. and that is, appeal to the
Public Utilities Commission foT a
fare higher than cents.
1t was the consensus Of opinion TO-
day that the w. r. Il z. will not be
satisfied with a straight 7-cent fare,
and 1t is generally believed the COM
pany will return to the commission
with another petition for higher fare.
The possibility Of the commission
making a higher fare applicable to
but one company is slight. To do this
would disrupt the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company.

Avoids Controversy.

DR.. Neill avoided discussion OF the
school controversy stating that the
proper place for this matter was and
is before the Senate Investigating
Committee. He did say, however,
that unless Congress had taken UP the
matter the controversy would then
have been carried on through the
press.
One of the paramount isues in the
schools at present is the teacher sit
uation. The situation is perhaps
as acute, IL not more acute. in WASH
ington than any part of the coun-
try" DR.. Nein said in opening his
remarks on this subject.
Schools Face Crisis.
1.-THE educational system OF the
country, in so far as ii is represented
by the public schools, is facing a
critical situation throughout the Uni
ted States, due in the first place to
the low pay heretofore allowed teach
ers," said DR.. Neill, land in the Sec
ond place to the grossly inadaquacy
of that pay due to the decrease in
the purchasing power OF the dollar"
This matter is a vital one and deep
ly concerns the interests OF the chill
dren in the public schools and the
parents of these children, declared the
board member.
These matters are not controversial
and are such that 1t seems very i'm
portant 10 have bodies such as the
City Club made fully cognizant of
them in order that they may take
whatever part seems proper to them
in trying to rectify the conditions"
continued DR.. Neill.
Lose Best Teachers
"The results OF this situation are
the loss to the schools of many Of
their best and most capable teachers,
and the inability to supply this loss
with beginners who give promise of
later taking the place of those who
are now being lost"
"At the present time positions open
to young men and women in CONNER
cial and professional life in many
cases pay more to young man or
young wo nan who has only finished a
high school course-or who has not
even finished a high school course
than is paid to teachers who are re-
quired either to have a college degree
or to spend a certain number OF years
in going through a normal school.
ut is perfectly futile to expect that
