Efforts to do away with the Chi

over the country. Congress is going
to wrestle with the. problem when 1t

the question is going to be one in

say just what each citizen shall pay

RAILROADS IN
BAD SHAPE

The railroads of the country are
unquestionably in q bad fix, fnan-
cially and in the way Of extensions
and betterment. They are handling
comparatively little business in the
way Of freight and passengers. and as
a result claim that they are facing
bankruptcy. The interstate commerce
commission some months ago granted
them an enormous increase in rates.
to Offset the big increase In the cost
of doing business, and for a time
everything seemed to be working
smoothly. Then business took sud-
den drop and has been dropping with
them ever since. People quit shipping
goods except as absolutely needed,
and they also quit travelling. The re-
suit was that Notwithstanding their
big raise of rates they could not get
expense money, for the reason that
there was little business at any rate.
High rates we're little good to them
when there was little business. Now
they are reducing forces all along the
line and will likely reduce wages all
around.
Some plan ought to be worked out
whereby our railroads can be kept
busy, and make extensions and i'm
provements, for when the railroads
are crippled 1t speedily reacts against
the whole country. Unless extensions
are made no new towns and COM
munities build up. the onward march
Of empire building ceases and stagna-
ton results all along the line.

An eastern aviation periodical ad
vances one reason, to which serious
consideration should be given. Tn,
promotion of impossible and intensel,

ened the legitimate investors from
backing serious efforts. Many bun

all sorts of passenger and freight
service. over hazardous terrain and

started. All have failed The rapid

with its enormous cost of upkeep.
make regular passenger 3ervice, with
any type Of plane at present upon the
market or obtainable from abroad, an
overwhelmingly losing proposition.
Before the initial cost of the invest
ment could be taken in, not to men
ton upkeep, any plane today would
be no longer serviceable. If safe. Only
governments can afford air service on
schedule and all the efforts of air
plane construction engineers have
been strictly for the government army
and mail service, with no thought to
commercial aviation.
Inventors state that they have no
capital to carry on their research and
development, as their requests for
financial aid meets no response from
the sources which might render such
development possible.
Perhaps If people were made
aware Of the impracticability of any
air project for which stock is to be
sold, before they invest their money.
it would assist In determining the
worthiness of the venture and seeing
that their cash was properly used.
White paper will take black ink and
there is much which can be attrac-
lively told as to the possibilities Of
commercial aviation. The prospectus
which reads like a get-rich-quick
promise is usually "the bunk" Only

port aerial lines by sustaining tre-

several millionaires. with no imme-

Aviation Is not game for the small ,
investor, especially with promoters
who are not technically efficient both
in the knowledge of practical flying
and experience In commercial avia-
ton. 1t win be many years before
the airplane will supercede the rail-
road and never the automobile.

THEN AND NOW.

n The growth of the Church in the
United States is due, principally, to
missionary labor. We are now enjoy
ing their fruits, and we are deeply
concerned that the harvest should in
crease.
And that it is increasing in an amaz-
ing manner is shown by recent sta
tistics. A century ago there was only
one bishop in the great republic, fifty
priests and 10000 Catholics.
Now there are three cardinals, fif-
teen archhishops, ninety bishops, 90
900 priests apd more than 23,O00,OOO
Catholics. including all places under
the American flag.
1t is believed that from thirty to
fifty thousand persons are converted
every year These glorious figures
should remind us that we owe duty
to the missions in other countries.
Freely we have received; let us freely
give in return.

When you tell a child to do GER

pay the penalty one way or another.
Do not treat him with severity, but
he may be deprived of some pleasure

Don't punish him only because you

THE WISDOM OF THE IGNORANT.

AT first sight the above title may
cause a naughty smile, but an after
thought may convince even the most
doubtful that there is, at least, some
truth in the statement, writes Lord
man.
Just as the ignorance of the edll-
Gated very often proves to be stun
bling block for those who are less edu-
Gated, so the wisdom of the compare
lively ignorant is very often revela-
ton for the highly educated.
Refinement, culture, and education,
if not the same thing, are at least ulti-
mately related. We generally expect
an educated man to be cultured and
refined; mere cleverness may be ex-
tremely repellent.
A certain amount of respect for the
opinion Of another is generally the
most characteristic mark, of distinc-
ton found in refined, cultured, and
educated man. He will ''air" his opin-
ions without using direct verbal
fists
If, in the heat of discussion and
argument, he should forget himself
and say things severely offensive, he
will prove his culture, learning, and
refinement, by chivalrous apology.
The ignorant, who lack certain ae
complishments,, are naturally preju
diced, and crude, are somewhat shall
low. But, these defects will not hin
der them from taking the number
of man.
The common people, the so-callet
masses" have, at times, a very keer
instinct for detecting the flaws of so
called leaders"
This practical wisdom of the ignor
ami is largely to blame for the bitter
wall which is heard throughout the
world today-"Lack of respect for au
thority."
& High-handed, irresponsible ruling
and Outlying" will at one time or an
other stir the wisdom of the masses.
Those bitter class and race hatreds
of today are the lamentable work OF
t.sham" leaders; men who lead indeed
but--lead astray.
That fierce struggle between good
am evil, that yearning, for the better
and. nobler things, which we are wit
Messing today, was begun, not by edu
Gated 'ignoramuses, but by noble
hearted men and women who respect
the practical wisdom of the "ignor
ant downtrodden masses.
