A Chilling Reception.

/ AbOK unions, as well as capital, should be
II under government regulation and control
The laws providing this should apply equally to "a
economic organizations, groups bodies exceeding
certain specified numbers, amounts. Both Or
ganzed labor and capital should be placed under
these laws each entitled to the protection and
subject to the same restrictions and provisions"
There is nothing or surprising in this
proposition except that it at this time, and
from Judge Gary of the United States Steel Cor
poratlon To support it he asserts that the effect
OF labor unions is "ineffciency and high costs" He
finds among the political evils that unions "oftcn
seek to control politics and openly as body advo-
cate the election defeat of President.
They oppose favor divers kinds OF legislation
They would regret police departments. Worse than
everything else they would dominate the Supreme
Court OF the United States, citadel OF defense
to person and property-to civilization itself. This
attitude strikes at the very foundation of great
republic"
The response to Mr. Gary's proposition has
been the almost unanimous disapproval OF the press
So far they voice public opinion, and they are Of
all complcxions, it will die aborning The funda-
mental trouble with its application is that while
labor is commodity to be bought and sold, it
cannot be disassociated or treated apart from the
laborer. Labor is human effort. 1t is part of the
individual, and any regulation control placed
On the other hand capital is thing distinct
and apart from the capitalist. 1t is expressed in
money, securities, buildings, property and even
credit Laws have always concerned themselves
with the control of property and the latest decision
of the Supreme Court holds that the public in
terests may exceed that of the OF rental hold
ings.
The recital of political action by unions is
cital of common knowledge. But it is something
not guiltless of those same high crimes and msde-
meanors, and unless retty much everyone is mis-
taken, those who represent capital, combined or in
dividuay held, have hardly failed to advocate the
election or defeat of President Nor is capi-
tai Indifferent to legislation, quite willing to take
pot-luck without guiding legislators along the ways
of wisdom.
Not within recent years if ever, has a
known as in any way affiliated with union labor,
Brandies-been a member of the Supreme Court.
But it has not been the same legal representa-
tives of capital Yet who contend, let alone
show that this has not been fair has not been
unbiased has not measured justice, even handed, in
its decision.
Judge Gary is to be congratulated for the frank
open expression of his opinion, always entitled to
much consideration, but the response should show
him the hopelessness of its adoption. Is it not
then the part of wisdom to adjust the relations of
labor and capital in friendly cooperation? No
could do to this end than can he and that
way lies the only possible solution of the problem.

The Teaching Profession.

THE Institute of Public Service, New York City,
i is in campaign to induce more graduates of
colleges to become teachers, and colleges to
conform to their public obligation by recruiting
among their students for the teaching profession.
The institute, in this double service, presents to
students the practical attractions of the profession
in the present increase of salaries, its good times
service satisfaction, social advantages and profess
sional dignity. 1t intimates to the colleges that

ARE PHYSICIANS LESS
INTELLIGENT THAN ENGINEERSf

During the war IL was reported
that medical oricers made lower
grades in the army examination for
mental slertness than did the en-
gineers. This, naturally enough,
irritated the physicians and natter
ed the engineers. But many in each
camp wondered whether IL could be
true and. IL so. why.
The National Research Council
has just published a report by Or.
r. NJ. Yerkcs on the intellectual
and educational status OF the med-
icAl profession in the United States
army which throws new and inter
esting light on the question.
Army doctors, according TO the
report. are on the average less alert
mentally than are engineers. There
seem TO be two principal reasons for
this: Medical officers are consider
ably older and, therefore. somewhat
slower than engineers: they were
not selected for military appoint
ment on the basis OF rigorous train
ing and examinations in oficers'
training camps, as were many OF
the ofhcers OF the Engineer Corps.
The surprising fact is pointed out
that physicians, engineers and chap
lsins in the United States army DIFF
fer greatly not only in degree Of
mental Rlertness, but also in the
kind or quality OF their intelli-
gence.
In a familiar army test called
"opposites," which demands that the
person who is being examined give
promptly the opposite for each word
presented to him, the doctors did
well. the engineers poorly, and the
chaplsins exceptionally we'll In an
other test called number series

the doctors and chaplains did rather
poorly and the engineers remark

These facts may mean either that
men are naturally better htted by
their particular kind Of intelligence
for one profession or for another.
or that their minds are changed by
their professional training and eX-
perience," concludes DR.. Yerkes
Perhaps, after all. persons who
choose medicine as a lifework have

who naturally take to engineering

In general there was little in the
message which had not been accu-
rately forecast by the Washington
newspapermen except, perhaps. the
extent to which the President has
gone in satisfying the demands of

question, horever, which the hard

republic. that I have often thought
what splendid thing 1t would be

Quoting Senator McCumber, Col.
Inns says, The general assumption
that the enactment of this bill into

backs OF an already excessively tax
burdened public an immense sum OF
money, is not justified. No pay

opportunity to adjust the estimated

WONDERS OF MEMPHIS
ARE RETOLD

Memphis is the largest inland
cotton market in America, handling
every year approximately 100000
bales. This is all high grade cot
ton and commands the top price in
foreign and domestic markets. The
city is the largest producer of cot
tonseed products and had the lar
gest cotton warehouses in the world.
Tho city is the home OF the
worlds first successful farm devel-
opment bureau operated by the
Chamber of Commerce with a view
toward food conservation. This year
the bureau is emphasizing the value
of cooperative marketing and in
creased food crops.
Memphis is reached by a splen-
did system of national highways and
by ten trunk line railroads which
operate in and out of the city. These
railroads are among the strongest
and best equipped in the country
and reach the richest producing sec
tion of the great Mississippi Valley.
Because of certain geographical ad-
vantages Memphis has been given
very low freight rates compared
with those accorded other cities of
equal distance from the main ship
ping and receiving points Of the
country.

But the hope well may be ex-
pressed that the President will not
become so enmeshed in problems Of
general right as to lose sight OF
realities. It Is not easy to see how
peace can be assured without some
sort of political alliance. The i'm
mediate practical problem is three
fold; to make 1t clear that Ger
many is responsible for the war: to
visit a punishment in some degree
proportionate to her offense, and
thus to deter Germany or any other
nation from doing what Germany
did. This is a practical political
question, and no mere rewriting OF
international law, no matter how
excellent. is likely to touch IL. The
way that the treaty proper is rati-
fed or adhered to is OF the greatest
consequence, and II is this point of

GRAPHIC MACHINE CHECKS
WEATHER PERIoDICTTIEs.

A new statistical method and
graphic device which may be used
to check upon the reality Of . sus-
pected periodicity Of weather or
other phenomena was described BY
Prof. Charles +. Marvin. chief OF
the weather Bureau, at the meeting
Of the American Meteorological So
ciety last night at the weather Bu-
reau.
This device can be used 20 tell
whether the essential features Of
the periodicity are real or only such
as would result from entirely chance
combinations OF exactly the same
numbers which make up the alleged
period derived from the actual data
With other conservstively minded
meteorologists. Prof Marvin hnds
It very difhcult TO believe in the
reality Of many claims for definite
periods in weather sequences Such
claims should be adequately proved
by sound statistical methods and =
legitimate use Of the laws Of proba-
bilities.
II the weather forecaster has
knowledge OF a definite law OF Sc
quence OF weather phenomena he
can, OF course, make successful

explained Prof. Marvin. The great
trouble with the obscure periodiici-
ties claimed by a certain body OF
enterprising and perhaps too san
Cuine students is that there is not

HardinE's Message.

Taken by and all President
Harding's long message to Congress
is good. In respect of several car
dinsl issues, national and interna-
tional. II is particularly good, nota-
bly, his complete rejection OF the
league of nations, his demand for
national economy and rational tax

and shipping questions and his
commitment to early treaties with

The country now knows what il

the Harding majority was an un-
qualified victory for the irrecon-

rejection of the covenant OF the

Curious Crowd Bids for Unemployed

tor of "Church of UnempIoy-
ed" to Continue Auction.

Boston.--Jobless men have been
placed on the auction block on Boston
Common. Stripped to the waist, after
the custom of the old slave auctiors,
they declared their willingness to work
by standing before crowd of thOus-
ands, offering their services to the
highest bidder.
"Shorn lambs of unemployment"
their auctioneer, Urban Ledoux, call
ed them
Ledoux, a philanthropic worker who
recently opened the Church of the
unemployed" in the West End, led a
group of 90 to the commons to bring
home. he said, to the people of Boston
their stories of human misery, just as
William Lloyd Garrison pleaded for
the slaves on the same spot 70 years
ago. 1t was to prove that his charges
were not parasite floaters, but instead,
good citizens out of a job, that he put
some of them on the block, he explain
ed.
Ledoux's efforts to get work for his
men were not rewarded. OF the three
who stood up for bids, none went away
to a job, although from the croTd
came pledges to help tide them over
a week or two while they sought EN-
ployment. Their leader said, however
that he considered he had succeeded
in bringing their plight and the hon
esty of their purpose to public atten
ton and he announced that the auction
was to be a daily event, to be contin
ued at least for the remainder of the
month.
Ledoux and his men, box lunches il
hand, came to the common from West
End headquarters, where he has fec
hundreds. While they munched theil
sandwiches; ftecaifed for volunteers Il
stand at auction prepared to work fol
a week for the highest bidders. Eight
men stepped out, two of them world
war veterans, most of them in clothing
that was frayed and shoes well down
at the heels. Each was asked how long
he had been out of work and without
food and shelter.
