LOUer Rates
a Necessity

rOR thirty-three years railroad
executives have said that if the
railroads were only allowed to
raise their rates reasonably and con-
troll them everything would 90 well.
The public, which compelled the
first Interstate Commerce act, in
1887, has by constant pressure re-
peatedly extended and made more
drastic Government regulation of
transportation.
The public acted both from in
stinct and experience, not from pref
udice.
1t knew that unrestrained power
to raise rates meant unrestrained ex-
ploitation of public and security
owners, unrestrained gambling, I'M
restrained attempts to control leg
islatures and courts and corruption.
1t also knew that rates, raised too
high, kill traffic.
The railroads have been allowed
to raise their rates about 20 per
cent since 1914, and their financial
condition is now much worse than
it was in 1914.
Many systems that were earning
and paying per cent dividends then
are now earning no profit whatever,
and their traffic is declining.
Most railroad executives admit in
private conversation that many rates
are too high, but publicly they say
that the labor unions are destroying
the railroads, while Mr.. Hoover
certainly conservative authority
says that unless the country can
look forward to lower railroad rates,
the railroads will ruin national pros
perity.

HUMANlSMS

Had not a certain romance of a missionary
worked out as 1t did down in Georgia seventy
years ago Miss Alice Robertson would not have
been the lone woman seated among her peers in
the House OF Representatives today.
Her father was sent from New York state to
minister to the Cherokee Indians. The good
church people who sent him kept In as close
touch as they could and sought in many ways
to make up to him for the privations that were
his.
Among other things they came to the conclu-
sion Influenced by Scripture. that it was not well
that man should live alone. They wouio seho
him helpmate. They would select from the
flock an ardent spirit who would go into the
wilderness and marry him. They did select her
and start her her
But the missionary felt the spirit OF revolt that
has dwelled in the breasts OF men and women
for whom marriages have been arranged since
time began. And. beside, there was In the
scenario a young woman missionary whom he
had met under conditions w here eye flashed
back to eye those subtle messages that wed
soul to soul as God intended they should be
united.
So two days before the arrival OF the matri-
monial candidate. there was a hurried wedding.

and given the disting uished service medal and
many foreign honors for the sort OF things he

But he also met his humiliations There was
the matter OF the overcoat in the Meuse-Argonne

What Edison QUESTIONABLE
Has Really Brought to Light

OF vision, intolerance of free speech,
and ignorance of the real facts of
European relations and the causes
and activities of the great war was
shown in the childish writings and
speeches of college presidents, col
lege professors and college men and
women.
And we think that the outcry
against Mr.. Edison's simple test of
what the colleges teach, or do not
teach, those who attend them, is
a clear explanation of the naive
credulity and simple minded igno-
rance which distinguished the utter
ances and deeds of SO many college
professors and college students dur
ing the great war.
They simply wrote and spoke out
of the abundance of what Mr..
Edison truthfully and accurately
calls their amazing ignorance.

The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1921-05-28
.AR more interesting than Mr..
Edison's questions are The COM
ments upon them.

Edison's questions are the COM
ments upon them.
Some are angry, some are amused,
some ridicule-but nearly all agree
that the questions are beyond the
average college mans requirements.
If that is so, the average college
man ought to start over again and
get real working education.
Aside from very few technical
ones, the questions chiefly relate to
historical, geographical and statisti-
cal facts which are taught in elemen-
tary schools, are constantly met with
in reading, and should be familiar to
every grown man or woman with
the slightest pretension to be ordi-
narily well informed.
If our colleges do turn out gradu-
ates who are stumped by such ques-
tons, then lot Of time is wasted
in colleges which could be much
more proftably spent in any good
library or in conversation with in
telligent persons.
Another point seems to be over
looked.
Mr.. Edison is the man who is
seeking young men to work for him.
He knows the kind he wants to en-
ploy. Presumably he has the right
to question applicants for jobs in a
way that will show him whether
they are the kind he wants to hire.
Apparently Mr.. Edison wants
young men who are interested
enough in history of the past, and
of the present, and in the facts of
invention, and production, to spend
time in reading about such things,
and who remember what they have
read. Therefore, he asks questions
which will be answered by the kind
of young men he wants to hire and
cannot be answered by the kind of
young men he does not want to hire.
1t is an eminently sensible scheme
upon which Mr.. Edison has hit.
Like all of his inventions, it does
the work.
The inefficiency of our whole
school system is notorious among
men who constantly need bright and
capable helpers.
There are literally thousands Of
men and women who have spent
from twelve to eighteen years of
their lives during the most plastic
and formative period of those lives
in schools-who cannot answer
one-fourth of the easy, simple ques-
tions propounded by Mr.. Edison,
who cannot write clean, clear Eng:
hsh or even carry on conversation
with well-informed persons, and who
do not know how to do one single
thing well enough to make their
work of value to employers.
The most deplorable narrowness

lines in the Battle Hymn of the Re-

oh, be swift my soul to answer

That was the spirit which ami
mated these men of ours.
Their souls were swift, their feet
were jubilant to answer their coun-
try's trumpet call to arms.
Now, here they are, broken in
health, shattered in body and in
