 EQUAL RIGHTS
 The final barrier to equal rights Tor women in Canada has peen removed. The Canadian Pacific Railway has reserved smoking compartments for the exclusive use of women Un alI It's trains. It is to be hoped that the con versational standard will be higher in these women's compartments than it is in the mems.
 WASTE
 Uncle Sam's ledger account with his babies shows Pittsburg loses more babies, in proportion to births, than any other large city.
 One baby out of nine, in Pittsburg, is doomed to die before it reaches the age of one year.
 Half these deaths, medical author ities maintain, could be prevented by proper instruction of mothers.
 Congress moved to correct deficits in government expenditures by .en- acting the budget bill. .i f But it seems unable to act to- save the tremendous wastage aof life among babies. Midsummer is here and the ''baby bill'' is still held in committee

CREDITS

Long time credits and rock bottom prices seem to be what are required if the United States is to compete successfully for foreign business. China has just placed an order for 300 freight cars in Belgium and 35 locomotives in England. American firms were underbid about 30 per cent and their credit proposals were equally to their disadvantage.
 All things being equal, the Chinese would prefer to trade with us but prices and credit terms are what talk.

AGE HAS BECOME

BECK'S DECLARATION
The Solicitor General SAYS the
Revolt Extends to Music,
Art, Poetry and Commerce
and.is More Serious Than the
Catastrophe of Nineteen
Fourteen.

Cincinnati. Aug. 81. = Revolt
against tradition and authority has
sprung up not only in the political
state but in music, art, poetry and
commerce until the age has become
"preeminently one of sham and coun-
terfeit," James NJ. Beck. solicitor
general for the United States declar-
ed before the American Bar Associa-
tion today.
The statistics of our criminal
courts in recent years show and un-
precendented growth in crime" said
Mr. Beck But this revolt against
tical state. In music, its fundamental
canons have been thrown aside and
discord has replaced harmony. Its
elimination, jazz, is musical crime.
I'm commerce the revolt is one
against purity of standards and the
integrity of business morals.
The morale of our industrial civ
ilization has been shattered. Work
for works sake has gone. The aver
sion to work is the great evil of the
world today. The less man does, the
less he wants to do. The whole hist
ory of the mechanical world is a per-
Sistent struggle for more pay and
shorter hours and today has cuImin-
ated in world wide ruin. In my judg-
ment the economic catastrophe of
1921 is far greater than the political
and military catastrophe of 1914"
Accompanying the indisposition to
work the solicitor general said has
been mad desire for pleasure such
as has not been seen within the mem
ory of living man..

ports and Exports of Speci-

Washington, d. c., Aug. 30.-A
tentative plan upon which consoli-
dations of the country's railroa DIS
may be carried out, based upon re-
port made by w. 2. Ripley, profess
sor of transportation, of Harvard,
has been prepared by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and the de-
tails were published in Wall Street
yesterday. This plan cannot be man
datory, according to the Transporta-
ton act, but will come in the form
of recommendations from the com
mission.
There are twenty possible systems
outlined in the commissions plan,
hut in certain cases these systems are
alternative. Some companies are
shown as subject to inclusion in one
or two or more consolidated systems.
The New Haven, for example, is
shown as included in the Baltimore
& Ohio system, and the Boston &
Maine in the New York Central sys-
tenn. However, New England sys-
tenn, including all the carriers in that
territory except in the Boston & AL
bany, is suggested, as well as New
England-Great Lakes system, which
includes all of these roads and the
Lackawanna, Delaware & Hudson,
and Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg G..
No real transcontinental system is
suggested in the report, although
the Northern Pacific and Burlington
go together; the Great Northern and
the Chicago Northwestern and the
Southern Pacific. In the East the
Erie is shown as the nucleus of one
system, along with the Delaware &
Hudson, Lackawanna and the Wa
bash lines east of the Missouri Riv-
er. But it is also arranged to in
clude the Erie in the Nickel Plate
