Now Let's Work.

1t begins to look as if the world
is going to settle down and have a
little peace. Germany adopts a law
providing for disarmament and
against any armed associations in
the land. Russia makes formal
peace with Poland and Ukraine and
decides that it is best policy to quit
the world revolution talk and pick
up friendly relation with other ma
tons. Turkey begins to look as if
she is satisfied with the new arrange
ments recently agreed to BY the AL
lies, Mexico is at peace at last and
the Panama spark has died out.
The only country that seems to
have a chip on its shoulder is
Greece. This little country is threat
ening a scrap with the Turkish ma
tions, and the king has ordered out
the reserves. The chances are, how
ever, that it is all a bluff, Greece
is poor as a rock and very heavily in
bt besides. A three-months' war
would cost her a great many millions
and with little gain even if she
should win. 1t is very probable that

Under the Yoke.

In fact under two yokes. The big
daily newspapers admit it. They all
declare that rents were never so
high, and that tares were never so
high.
Rents are doubled on dwellings,
apartments and business rooms. But
in spite of that taxes and wages eat
it all up and good buildings pay on
an average less than six per cent.
Taxes are not only eating up the
profits of the owners but Of the ten
ants, and as a result Of this double
tendency property values are declin-
ing.
They say it costs too much to build
a house or business building and
there is no building, no sale Of ma
t%erials, no employment Of workers,
and a decline in community prosper
ity.
The only remedy is to reduce over
head cost Of government by at least
one-fourth TO one-half, instead of i'm
posing new taxes, and reduce the
war scale Of wages in building trades
and public employees.

Cardinal Gibbons

Only the other day attention was
fixed upon the creation of another
American Cardinal. Today there is
widespread mourning at the death
of the venerable senior prelste of
that rank. Nor is it BY any means
confined TO the communion to which
he belonged. He commanded dur
ing his long career the respect and
confidence Of men of all creeds and
faiths, and they all regret his loss,
Churchman, Christian American
Those were the prime Characters
tics of James, Cardinal Gibbons; in
separately united in a threefold cord
Of strength. His orthodoxy and his
ecclesiastical authority were never
questioned; nor was there anybody
more accurately representative of
his church than he. His eXempli6-
cation Of the chief virtues Of Chris
tianity was noteworthy and convinc-
ing. His devotion TO America and
American institutions was fervent
and ~unceaSing, in time of war and in
time Of peace, and it was often ire
mendouSly effective.
We have said that these three
characteristics of the man were
closely and inSeparably intertwined
Yet they were at the same time in a
noteworthy degree separate or sep
arabic from each other. Stalwart
as was his Guardianship, his
Christianity commanded the conf
dence of millions outside of his
denomination. Intense as was his
patriotism, it was not coupled up in
any way with eccleSiaSticiSm.
During the war his fervent spirit
made him of much value to the Am.
erican government and to civil.
zation's cause throughout the world
At that time and since he was no les:
Serviceable to various civic and dom,
este causes of the highest import
ance. The parlor Bolshevist and the
public Red were alike objects o.
his scathing condemnation. Nor wa:
there ever any occasion for doub
and uncertainty as to his attitude
and course. He was always on th(

Railroading' the Public.

Considerable progress has been
made toward the restoration Of pre-
war conditions,
The price of nearly every article
of commerce has fallen perceptlbly
and in not a few instances the pre-
sent Price is at or below the pre-war
price,
FoodStuHs sell at a low figure and
the price Of farm commodities is
lover than for many years.
There is one big stumbling block
in the way Of price reduction and
that is the high wage Of labor.
This is particularly true of rail-
road labor. The wages of factory
and mill employees, of farm and
ranch labor, which rose to a high
point during the war have been re-
duced. but the wages Of railroad EN-
ployeS which rose higher than any
other class, with working conditions
which enabled them to either work
short hours or obtain greatly increas-
ed pay for overtime after eight
hours, have not been reduced,
The level Of pay Of railroad labor
which, though working less hours
than other labor is the highest in the
world, must come down, and working
conditions must be so revised that
railroad labor like other labor will
receive an honest days pay for a
full days work, no less and no more,
The national agreements should
be abolished. Transportation econ
omies are impossible while they last,
This is as true of working conditions
as of wages.
For example if anything should 60
wrong with a locomotive out on the
road and a machiniSt was sent out
TO fix it he would demand and re-
ceive the rate of S. cents an hour
for the first eight hours, SIPS an
hour for the next eight hours and
Sl.70 an hour for the next ~consecu,
tive s hours, or a total of S30.64 for
the "A hours he was away from the
shop where regularly employed even
though actually working but a few
hours. In other words this machin,
ist though sleeping snugly and
soundly in a Pullman on his return
trip gets Sl.70 an hour for doing it
This is only one of many.
Is il any wonder that railroad ex,
penses are consuming nearly all the
earnings, that in spite Of increased
rates railroad credit is lettering anc
that there is an insistant demand
among the well-informed public fol
a general revision of wages anC
working conditions and the cancella
ton of all national agreements If
this respect?
II has been said, and from The
foregoing appears much reason fol-
believing ii, that in making the ma
tional agreements both sides Of tht

that would be embarrassing to tht

THE POWER OF THE EYE.

1t has been assumed by scientists that
the human eye was a merely passive or
gan-that it received light, but gave forth
neither light nor anything else. Poets
and occulists may have thought differ
emily. but they were not taken seriously
Now severely practical English scien-
fist, by q severely materialistic method,
has demonstrated that the eye actually
exerts force which can be registered.
DR. Charles Russ has spent three years
in developing his mechanism. 1t is des-
cribed as SO simple that it can be dupli-
Gated by any Observation-Disclosures, and the
effects observed can be duplicated in any
laboratory. The basis of it is a covered
glass vessel which contained a delicate
indicator sensitiZed and insulated from
| all outside interference. The observer ap
proaches and looks through a small SLOT

The Pittsford Sanatorium.
(St. Adams Messenger

DIR. r. J. Rogers, head of the Pittsford
tuberculosis sanatorium and one of the
leading experts on this disease in the
country, made it possible in recent
speech to the Rotary club of Rutland for
the people of Vermont properly to APP
praise the value of the gift of the inStitu-
ton 10 the state made by Redteld Proctor
and his sister. Miss Emily Proctor.
Doctor Rogers declares that the insti-
tuition lis away ahead of any institution
of its kind in the country. and there are
only a very few that approach ii. The
gift is actually a regal one. The sanatO-
rum was built by the late Senator Proc
or and was endowed by him in the amount
of 5000 900. 1t possesses a revenue of
approximately $4,000 a year and with the
generous aid of Redfield and Emily Proc
, tor the institution comes to the state with
about S11 900 in real money" as Doctor
Rogers puts it. and he declares that the
prospects are that it will run, barring
the unexpected. without calling on the
state to make up n deficit
Beyond any questioning the state has
become the pOSseSSor of a remarkable in
Sfitution for which it is deeply indebted
TO the Proctor family. 1t is the states
bouuden duty to maintain the Sanatorium
on the same high standard which obtained
under its private management. and to in
crease it in order to meet the demands
that may come upon it. We start out
with the best in the country. We could
never justify having anything other thar

WHERE RELATIVELY FALLS.

Prof. Albert Einstein has stirred up a
storm in this country by his criticism
of Americans in a Berlin interview. His
chief impressions of American life seem
to be these:
Our people are dreadfully bored, and
their apparent interest in the relatively
theory was to him merely proof of their
boredom.
America is a country wholly dominated
| by women. and the women are mainly
Iconcerned with spending the mems money.
| American scientific attainments don't
amount to anything. and Americans are
Ihopelessly superficial in their attitude
toward scientific matters.
There is no need of answering these
charges in detail There is some ground
for each of them. but as congratulations

"Harding's" Move.
Barre TimeS.)

While the suggestion went forward in
the name of President Harding, it is
more than probable that whatever tenta-
tive plans the chief executive may have
about a conference on limitation of arma-
mentS were the result of many discussions
and not n few suggestions by those who
are closer advisers of the President. With
out a doubt Harding would be ready to
admit such assistance was rendered and
that what is going out as a Harding I'M
tiative was really the disqualification of
joint consideration. Therefore, while
agreeing that the move may be called
Hardng'S just for the sake of giving it a
handle. there is no reason why the people
of the United States or of the world
should become over-1attering in their
commentator of the President. Harding
is the mouthpiece. but perhaps not the
entire brains of the move toward limi-
tation of ornaments conference. Let's
maintain the popular balance of things
if possible.
