The railroads are urging the neces-
sity of a reduction in wages paid their
employees, before the Railroad Labor
Board in Chicago. Fitzgerald Hail.
of Nashville, attorney for the N. c.
& st. L. Railroad, told the Board that
his road was losing $4,000 daily. In
reply the employees, through their la
Dor unions, say that managerial inef-
ficiency causes wastes totaling $685.
100000 annually, and urge that wages
be not reduced. Meanwhile Mr.. Com
mon people is forced to continue dig
cling up the cash with which to salts
fy both sides. Between the demand
Of the railroads magnets for profit
on their holdings and the demand OF
railroad employees for high wages, Mr.
Common People is between the
Scylla and Charybdois, or the devil
and the deep blue sea. And the great
old days of the annual pass are but
blissful memory.

All the indisposition on the part of
Germany to come up to the demands
of the Allies in the payment of in
demnity for the World War is due to
only one thing and that is the prema-
ture signing of the armistice. Ger
many was never whipped to a fraz-
zle and then the FRAGILE worn out.
The unmistakable Hun should have
been brought to his knees and made
to beg pitiously for mercy. 1t might
at the time have cost the precious
lives of few more soldiers of the
allied armies, but with Germany in
her present mood and the Kaiser
still alive, it may in the long run
cost the lives of thousands more.
Nevertheless the sooner Germany is
forced to pay full reparation, the bet
ter.

Henry II. Ahrens, for many years
on the editorial staff of the old New
Orleans Picayune, and afterwards
special writer on the Tines icayune
and now connected with the Christian
Education Movement of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, in a recent
Interview regarding the movement,
gave the following clear and compre-
hensive statement as to the work the
church is endeavoring to accomplish:
"The movement is an attempt on
the part of the Southern Methodist
Church to discharge her obligation to
Southern Methodist boys and girls so
that they may obtain the best prepar-
alton in their own section and not be
forced to enter eastern or northern
colleges. 1t is an honest effort to
raise the educational standard of the
South, and through Christial leader
ship give the children of the South
the very best that any school or col
lege in the land can offer. Similar
movements have already been inaug-
urated by other Protestant denomina-
lions.
ITO this end the Christian Educa-
ton Movement seeks to arouse men,
bers of the Southern Methodist
Church to the Importance of fully
equipping and undermining the nine
ty-one educational plants maintained
and controlled by the church. 1t is
interested in better pay for teachers
and the fullest development, mental,
moral and physical, of the young peo-
pie enrolled as students. In other
words, leaders of the movement,
through its program, seek to make
good their slogan that christian edu-
cation is the complete education.
According to leading churchmen,
Southern Methodist schools last year
turned away 5000 students on ac-
count of crowded conditions. These
schools enrolled $4,000 students each
year 1t is now proposed to supply
the necessary space, equipment and
endowment to bring these education
al institutions up to $4,000 capacity
each year, making it possible for
Southern boys and girls to obtain the
highest advantages in their own sec
ton.
"The Christian Education Move
ment claims not only to promote the
highest and best type of education,
but to exemplify the truest form of
real Americanism. The schools, col
leges and universities of Southern
Methodism have always been true to
the best American ideals and with
the schools of the Southern Presby-
terrain and Southern Baptist churches
strengthened through similar move

ments, / am fully convinced that in
the near future we need not hang our
heads in shame when comparisons are
made with the splendid equipment,
well-paid teachers and ample accom-
modations of schools in the North and
East.
at is gratifying to note the large
number of letters received from
prominent men who assure the lead
ers in the movement Of their hearth
est support. Practically every South
ern governor has endorsed the enter
prise, and former President Wood
row Wilson, Josephus Daniels, John
r, Mott and host of equally strong
and verile men have written wishing
the movement the great success it de-
serves"

he was big enough to be president OF
