BORAH PLANS TO ACT
FOR A LABOR PEACE
Proposes Senatorial Inquiry
Into Industrial Strife.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, july l..
Leaders in Congress are preparing to
take Independent action to deal with the
disrupted industrial situation unless the
Administration can show that 1t Is get
tingg the situation in hand
Senator Borah (Rep., 1daho). chair
man of the Committee on Education
and Labor, declared to-day that he had
already held conferences with Senator
Walsh (Dem., Mass.), looking to an in
vestigation Of the entire industrial
problem by his committee, and that
such an investigation merely is await
ing the action of President Harding
1t is realized that the committee has
little or no power to deal with the sit
uation directly. but it is Senator Borahs
idea that the marshalling of facts
through an investigation would bring
public opinion to bear forcibly upon the
situation and aid in forcing solution.
1t is expected here by men close to
the Administration that the President
will forestall Senate action by adopting
definite course of his own, both in re-
laton to the coal strike and the rail-
road labor dispute. There Is no in
timation Of what his course will be in
relation to the railroads, but the sug-
gestion of an arbitral commission to
settle the coal strike is anticipated i'm
mediately upon his return here Monday.

REFORMS ARE NEEDED
Primary Lesson for Citizens of
a Democracy Is Self
Control.
REFORMS ARE NEEDED

BosToN, July Am a paper on
aims in American Education by Sec
retary Hughes. read tonight before the
National Education Association. Mr..
Hughes said:
I'VE cannot fail to be gratified by the
evidence on every hand of an increased
demand for educational opportunity, and
1t is most encouraging to observe the
extraordinary efforts that are being
made. especially in the field of higher
education, to provide new facilities.
1T is not likely that there will be
lack OF opportunity for vocational edu
cation that will fit men and women to
earn living The exigencies of our
complex life are too apparent and the
rewards too obvious to admit of neglect;
and we shall have whatever vocational
or technical schools are required. But
democracy cannot live on bread alone.
II Is not enough that one shall be able
to earn living. or a good living. This
Is the foundation. but not the structure.
What Is needed Is to have life more
abundantly.
1T Is impossible to provide a system
of general education and ignore the need
of discipline. The sentimentalists are
just as dangerous as the materialists.
No one will dispute the Importance of
the individual bent or special gifts. but
the primary lesson for the citizens of
democracy Is self-control. and this Is
achieved only through self-disciplne.
As look back upon my own experience
/ find that the best lessons Of life were
the hardest. Even along the line of spe-
cal aptitude II is the severe mental ex-
ercise. the overcoming of real obstacles.
that counts.
MY mothers insistence on the daily
exercises in mental arithmetic has been
worth more to me than all the delightful
dailyings with intellectual pleasures I
have ever had Life is not a pastime
and democracy is not n holiday excur-
sion. 1t needs men trained to think,
whose mental muscles are hard with
toll. who know how to analyze and dis
criminate. who stand on the firm foun-
dation OF conviction which is made
possible only by training in the processes
Of reason. The sentimentalists must not
be allowed to ruin us by dissipatng the
energy that should be harnessed for our
varied needs.
I'VE have given to scant attention to
the demands of training for citizenship.
This implies adequate knowledge of our
institutions. of their development and
actual working 1t means more than
this in a world OF new intimacies and
complexities.
When / speak of the study of history
I do not mean seuperf1cial review, but
the earnest endeavor to understand the
life Of people. their problems and aspira-
tions. And at this time it is not simply
or chiefly the history of a distant past

recent history. with sufficient acquain-
tance with the past to understand the

runnerup. In Cobel county. another
Sutherland stronghold, the vote is ex-
pected to be split. with Mr.. Edwards
probably getting a majority.
Supporters of Mr.. Lilly say he will
receive the support Of the State Re-

ably nominate him but for an incident
six years ago. In 1916 Mr.. Lilly was
candidate for the. gubernatorial nomi-

E. Robinson. who in turn was beaten
by the Democratic nominee.
This leaves for Senator Sutherland
his personal following and the bonus
advocates. The former is rather large,
because as one woman voter put 1t. "he
writes such beautiful letters" The
latter will prove comparatively neg
ligible because probably a majority of
the ex-service men are Of the opinion
that the harmful influences Of the bonus
