On Amendment Methods.

10 the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Fred ]. Hafelfinger is in error
when he says there should be re-
spect paid to the minority in the
matter of national prohibition. 1t
is not entitled to respect because,
although in a perfectly legal way.
by a combination of Congress and
State legislatures, the minority
succeeded in imposing clause in
the Constitution that the majority
of the people do not want there.
The Constitution offered an easy
way to- impose the judgment of a
minority on the whole people. II is
a way that should never be taken
again. No new amendment should
go the primrose path by way of
State legislatures to the Constitu-
ton. No Congress should dare to
propose il. If an amendment is not
just enough to go to the people for
endorsement it should sleep in com
mittee. When Southern bishop
told the London Times that the
XVIIIth amendment was adopted
in the only way an amendment
could be adopted he added to the
general fund of ignorance. II the
prohibition amendment had been
adopted by conventions called In
each State to consider that amend
ment one serious charge against
the good faith OF those who pressed
that amendment to adoption would
not hold. 1t never received the vote
of the people. There is no duty of
enforcement laid on the people Of a
State whose vote for II was forced
81
latures lost the election Of senators
because they were incompetent of
choice. 1t needs no amendment to
deprive them of the privilege os
amending the CO Institution of the
United States.

and the generator. and 1t will dis
appceR from the railways of th!s
counUy as soon as the railroads can
finance electrification. The nation
will eventually be covered with a
network of transmission systems
and dotted with hydraulic plants
and power stations.
In transportation the horse. the
mule and the cable car have be-
come historical curiosities. and the
electric car reigns supreme. On our
great trunk lines the anachron-
ism of the steam locomotive still
exists. But even the layman knows
that only the unfortunate financial
situation of our railroads makes
electrical propulsion impossible. II
must be accomplished. The enor-
nous consumption of coal by the
railways. two-thirds of which could
be avoided by electriflcstion, must
be stopped.
When the first power plants
were established at Niagara, the
question was asked whether cleo
tricity could not be sent to New
York city A 100000 horsepower
has been developed there, but no
one asks that question any more.
The reason is that the distance is
SO great that the electric power
finds a market long before the limit
of transmission has been reached
There Is no economic excuse for
transmission over long distances
Instead. a network of <interconnect-
ed generating and conducting sys-
TENS is springing up. 1t has already
ignored the boundaries Of States,
and the laws of different states are
already in conflict, so that federal
supervision of power distribution
will certainly be needed.
Just as the railroads seventy
five years ago organized the trans
portation of materials, so the
transmission of energy to. turn our
wheels and fetch and carry is be-
ing applied by the electrical indus
try. Great factories which make
electricity and supply 1t as other
factories supply hats or stoves have
come into being. Electrical energy
is the only kind that can be easily.
economically and simply conducted
to the centers where 1t is needed.
whether in small quantities for the
vacuum cleaner or the house lights
or in huge masses for great mills
and factories. In long di stance
transmission the voltage has crept
up from $50 volrs to ten. thirty,
sixty and finally 100000 volts. and.
exparimentally we have long gone
beyond one million volts to a VOLT
age of 100000. Just as IN the past
no one would have believed that
possible, so in the future we may
be laughed at for thinking we could
mot perhaps 60 even further" :.

The Ratiocinative Method.

10 the Editor, The Washington Herald:
1 have been toiling for many
months on a work which l believe
will bring an eventual end to falla-
cious reasoning on the part of those
who read IT. and am anxious to give
as many people as possible the
benefit of 1t. So / think can do
more good at present by putting it
into newspaper form than by pub
fishing it.
I have long been convinced, and
have been able to demonstrate 1t to
all who have disputed it, that when
men learn to reason mathe ma teal
ly, that is, without making any of
the some hundred fallacies or pitt
falls. they will have approximately
the same opinion on all questions
where the same circumstantial evil
dence is made known to both sides;
and hence, that wherever there is
disagreement, one of them has
somewhere or other made one of
those fallacies, either expressed or
implied, provided there is no dis
agreement of evidence. II We
should all learn to, reason with
mathematical accuracy the world
would be just as Interesting as be-
fore. for we would merely have.
solved those problems concerning
the fundamentals of civilization
making men perfectly good and
perfectly happy; and could then go
further into something deeper-and
eventually agree about that also.
ETC., ad inflnitum. Hatred. preju-
dice and superstition are not needed
to make the world interesting.
There are hundreds of civilized
ways to do that. ..
I am therefore going to take GER
tain examples of these. hundred
fallacies and without mentioning
any names. quote from them the
parts which are mathematicaliy err
roneous in reasoning-that is. falla-
cious., .sr'
