a fact that the Limited did that very
thing. She simply severed relations,
that's all. So then and there the
''to the rear" movement ceased. Upon
inspection it was found that part of
the train was resting on the side
track and part on the adjoining
tracks, this is, in the general vicinity
of the tracks, for a section was COM
pletely derailed Outside of a little
bump and shiver accorded them, the
passenger suffered no hardship from
the accident, save that they had to
walk little further to the platform.
But That's Not All
1t is the unwritten law for rail
readers that someone must be held re-
sponsible for all accdents-in other
words, the term "unavoidab is not
in their dictionary. So after the first
shock of seeing the peaceable old Del
aware City Limited wrecked had pass
ed away, the authorities started on
the trail of the person responsible. At
first, it looked like the fault of the
towerman, but it was proven that
when he sets the switch for the en-
trance of the Delaware City train
into the station, there is no possibility
of it going through an open switch,
because all others are automatically
locked. Thereupon, his name was
/ stricken off the list of accused.
And so it went. Everybody has an
alibi and good one. The engineer,
fireman, conductor, brakeman, station
master, track walker, water boy

Of school children and adults which show alarm.
ing conditions, says the Medical Record (New
York;. Statistics covering many years show
that nine out Of every ten persons over twenty
usually have imperfect sight. At thirty
one the proportion is larger. At forty II is
almost impossible to find a man or woman with
perfect sight.
1t was learned some years ago by the exami
nation OF several thousand school children in
one OF our large cities that SO per cent Of them
had defective vision OF such degree to war
rant the wearing of glasses. Quite recently the
examination OF more than 10000 employees in
factories and commercial houses showed that SO
per cent had uncorrected faulty vision, 13 per
cent had defects which were corrected, making
a total OF 66 per cent with defective eyes. These
two surveys were made under different auspices
several years apart. They mean that very
large majority of the public have eyes defective
to such a degree to require glasses to make
them happier and more efficient members OF
society. The Eye Conservation Council OF
America is organized for the purpose of fixing
the attention of the public on the Importance OF
all factors that contribute to the conservation
Of vision and the relief of ocular defects.

actress of great distinction undertook for the Meropo-

David Beasco and studied acting with him, knowing
really great singers all do, that real artist should

Wherever you find real intelligence and ability you

In the attitude of Mr.. Belasco, who will soon be an

Cabinet Men and Congress

voluntary attendance to take part
in debate, and by compulsory at
tendance to give information.
This was the greatest of all the
movements for Cabinet attendance
in Congress, but it also failed.
Woodrow Wilson, as scholar
and historian, favored the move
ment in his writings, but did not
follow it up when he became
President. Chief Justice Taft
was a strong and frequent advo-
cate of the change. President
Lowell, of Harvard, was another
outspoken advocate, expressing
the view that the Government
should be kept continually on
the grill"
In England the official work
ing executives are always mem
bers of Parliament. They sit in
the House of Commons. ANY
member may address a question
to any minister to obtain informa-
ton. Notice of questions must
be given one day in advance, and
about three-quarters of an hour
is set apart at four sittings every
week for the asking and answer
ing of questions.
The English ministers initiate
public measures, and advocate
and defend them; and for every
act they are responsible to the
House Of Commons and remain
in power only so long as they are
supported by majority of that
Chamber.
President Harding has called
Vice President Coolidge to a per
manent seat in his Cabinet. He
is said also to favor executive Of
ficers in Congress, although he
has not yet advocated it publicly.
The English hold that there is
emo more valuable safeguard
against maladministration, no
more effective method of bring
ing the searchlight of criticism to
bear on the action or inaction of
the executive and his subordi-
nate"
There are so many reasons in
favor of the plan that it seems
strange this country has never
given it a trial.

THE recent interchange of
compliments and criticisms

compliments and criticisms
between Senator Caraway, of
Arkansas, and Acknowledgement
Daugherty, growing out of the re-
lease of Charles E. Morse from
the Atlanta Penitentiary, reopens
an oft recurring and never settled
question which has been discussed
by the Congress for a century.
Should Cabinet officers, as the
Acknowledgement suggests, be
given a seat on the floor of the
Congress to answer personally,
and at the moment, charges made
against them or against the Gov
ernment7
In the first American Congress
the attendance of Cabinet officers
occasionally appears to have been
taken as a matter of course. In
1889 Thomas Jefferson, Secretary
of Foreign Affairs, attended and
made "the necessary explana-
ton"
In 1890 Alexander Hamilton
failed to get the consent of the
House to read his report.
With the English Parliament
and the Confederate Congress as
examples, vigorous efforts were
made between 1864 and 1879 to
give the Chief Executive Depart
ment seat on the floor of either
House with the privilege of
speaking.
James A. Garfield, a member
Of Congress in 1865, vigorously
supported a favorable committee
report, but was unable to obtain
action on it. A little later George
H. Pendleton, a Senator from
Ohio, renewed the Garfield fight.

posed of Senators Pendleton, AL
