The world do move, Canon Barnes the stuff is all off. He holds that there was no such animal as Adam and no such apple ficnd as Eve, and that there was no Fall of Man. Evo- lution disproves the fable, says the Canon, and we should quit teaching it. And to think how we used to have to sing: "In Adams Fall We Sin-ned All" And to recall tho days when we could visualize the dirty old Snake fooling pretty Eve and giving Adam tho haw-haw The Canon must be all wrong. No Adam and Eve, Why in the old Family Bible fifty years ago there was pic ture of Adam and Eve and the Snake and the Angel with the Flaming Sword. It was coored picture and Adam wore athletic underwear made of fig leaves, while Eve had Q knoe-length skirt of the same ma terial. Adam had black hair while Eve had brilliantly red hair. Adam bad clean shave and Eyes hair was worn over her shoulder like shawl. We can remember that Eve was very shapeiy and very pretty but Adam wasn't such a much for looks Eyes checks were as rosy as the fatal apple she held in her hand but Adams face was pale

KITCHIN TO BE MINORITY LEADER.

Representative Claude Kichin of North Carolina will be the leader of the minority in the next House of Representatives, succeeding the veteran former Speaker Champ Clark of Missouri who was of the victims of the Republican tidal last month and failed of reelection to the House. Kichin was the minority leader in Congress after the elevation of Oscar w. Underwood to the Senate. When the House became Republican, Champ Clark, who had been the Democratic leader before he became Speaker was again chosen leader. Kitchin is of the ablest debaters in Congress, is said to be one of the best informed all governmental matters His speciality is the tariff and taxation problems.

CONGRESS BREAKS
ECONOMY PROMISE
Senator Borah Raps Republicans for
Failing to Cut Down
Expenses.

Washington, Jan. 3l--Senator Bor-
ah, Republican, Idaho, told the Senate
yesterday there was mot the slightest
evidence" that Congress proposed TO
carry out "the special promise" of the
Republican party to reduce government
expenditures.
Opposing the bill for creation Of a
unified government air service because
Of its cost, Senator Borah said man
ifestations of extravaganza in this
country were just as great now as they
were during the war.
THE Republican party made the spe-
cial promise in the last campaign TO
reduce government expenditures, the
senator said, "but there isn't the slight
est evidence that this Republican Con
gress proposes to carry out that prom
Use"
Republicans and Democrats should
join hands, the senator declared. and
begin to carry out the promise that
when the war was over government ex-
penditures would be cut to the bone.
Senator Hitchcock. acting Democratic
leader, also opposed the bill as an ex-
travagant attempt to create a Jack of
all trades department Of the govern
ment,p which, he said, would only null
tiply the present confusion over air
service control.

The Railroad Deficit.

The net operating income of the rail
roads ofathe country for the month OF
November, 1t appears from the latest
statistics, was only S2l ,966,992, as
compared with the government guar
antee for the month of $50 $40, 900,
leaving a deficit of more than SOL $780,
600. The preliminary figures for De-
cember show only a slight improve
ment. The coal strike was contrib
uting cause to these appointing figures
the lowest since lS96-but the pres.
emit outlook is that the net operating
income for the year will amount to
about S540,000,000, as compared with
a government standard return of over
5000 100000, leaving an operating def
cit of $500, 100000.
II is plain that, whatever form the
bill which the eonferees of the House
and Senate are framing may take, it
must allow of some increase in rates.
individuals and organizations that de-
mand that there shall be no increase
do not realize what they are asking.
The cost OF traffic and transportation
must somehow be met, and there must
be margin for maintenance, repairs
and development If the roads were 20
continue under government operation,
this necessity would remain, unless we
were to continue indefinitely piling up
deficits. and adding to the national
debt, already appallingly large, to meet
them Given fair chance, private
operation and enterprise can meet the
situation and restore sound conditions.
But, without fair chance, the case
would be hopeless.
Not only is the present burden very
heavy, but, as The Herald showed the
other day, there wait for settlement
BY the railroad managers formidable
list of labor demands which the rail-
road administration has deferred sd-
iusting. Moreover. unless all the indus
tries of the country are to suffer, and
production is to be checked by made
quate transport facilities, there must
be large increase in the number of
freight cars-sn increase which the
Railway Age estimates at 100000 cars
for the next three years. Already the
business Of the country is handicapped
by the lack of freight carrying equip
ment; and it would be the height of
folly TO perpetuate these conditions
