er rates would certainly bring injury
upon the public as well as the car
riers. There has not been an oppor-
tunity to test fully the principal pro-
visions of the Act of 1920. The fact
that earnings have not equalled the
fair return contemplated is not proof
that such earnings are impossible
under the present form of control.
Instead of multiplying and extend
ing the features of public regulation,
the railroads should be given an OPP
p%ortunity to perform their indispensi-
BILE. tasks with the least interference
| practicable on the part of the national
and state governments. The inter
ests of the railway managers and
owners are not opposed to the gen
! eral well-being of the country, but
in harmony with it. Over-regulation
which ignores the diversity and COM
| plexity of the problems of manage
ment, and represses initiative and en-
terprise, does injury to the public
which the railroads serve. The costs
of excessive regulation may readily
surpass those of too lax control.
In the next few years hundreds oil
millions of dollars will have to be
invested in the railroads, and most Of
these millions must come from the
savings of the people, which a b'
attracted to such investment only OF
the basis of public confidence in th'
stability of railway earnings.
We should not forget, in this con

nation HAS HUMAN
DISCORDS ALWAYS

Under the title, Damaged Souls
Harper's Magazine in its March num-
Der gave an interesting and instruct
i've account of the character and WORK
of John Randolph, who was a prom
inent figure in the legislative affairs
of the United States in its formative
period. The name of Randolph has
always been well known to students
of American history, yet if one we're
asked what particular accomplishment
the name of John Randolph was as
ISOLATED, he would hesitate long before
he could find a reply. The explana-
ton of this is found in the article IN
Harper's:
"He began his public life when lit
tie more than a boy, and from that
time until his death at so, he was al
ways fighting something. He opposed
all parties, all movements, and pretty
much all men. For thirty years the
House sat up and listened when this
strange image Of an inspired, drum
ken Quixote lectured or scourged 1t.
Compromise, concession, those mutual
sacrifices of opinion by which alone
constructive work can be done in
the world, were distasteful to him.
He preferred to stand alone, to ac-
cuse as dishonest and diSloyal every
one. who disagreed with him. 1t
would be difficult to find any states
man in history who so steadily OPP
posed every large measure of public
interest. On one or two compare
lively unimportant bills, which he
himself initiated, his action was posi-
tive. But in the main it seemed as
if he preferred opposition to consist
ency, since he sometimes spoke and
voted ever against himself"
In the statement that it would be
difficult to find any statesman in
| history who so consistently main
tanned an attitude of opposition, the
writer in Harper's probably has in
tory We have in current history
a few statesmen who choose to let
their activity be on the side of oppo-
sition rather than of construction.
Their work is negation rathcr than
affirmation.
Perhaps Randolph is entitled .
rank as typical of that class Of staff :
men who accuse as dishonest and DIS
loyal every one who disagrees with
them, but he is not alone by any
means. There have been others, and
there are now others who can not give
credit for honesty of purpose to any
n who disagrees with them in their
views of public interest. These
statesmen of the "holier than thou
variety r ready to accuse their OPP
ponents Of being in league with "the
interests working for the welfare OF

tory wealth"

them can be reduced to terms OF
hard work. which is the destiny
of all conscientious young men, we
need not dwell on it. Suffice it to
say that the average young man
of noble birth sets out on life
much better equipped in the things

he happens to possess it, do not
give, than his brother in any other
social class.

I do not ask anyone to praise
them on this account. They are
fulfilling no more than duty; but
it is worth bearing in mind as u
proof of a difference in training.

Let average men and women
of any class consider the things
in life that mean most to them
selves-their affections, the well
fare of their children, their am
billions, hopes, animosities and

case may be, and above all their
desire to shine like a good deed

bility.
Some Very Poor.
There are differences between the
plain man who has an hereditary
title and the plain man who hasn't,
but they are not so great as is sup
posed, and are confined to externals.
There is not even the distinction of
wealth as in olden days, when prac-
tically all capital was in the land
and the mobiles were the landlords.
AS everybody knows, a duke may
be as poor as Lazarus, and an earl
NAV die of starvation. All peers do
not employ butler and liveried serv-
ants, eat caviar off golden plates,
and provide their infants with cloth
of-gold pram covers.
The new aristocracy Of commerce

The chief difference between the
noble and the commoner is cultural.
The old British nobility for more
than a generation now have laid
themselves out, quite unconsciously
I suggest, to control, or rather to
embrace, the best that is in the life
of the nation in art, letters and
social thought. In Russia before the
war. it was a governmental culture
and in Germany a militaristic, which
was tantamount under their consti-
tuition to governmental.
They Are Mostly Idealists.
II is toward this object of absorb
ing and becoming absorbed in the
higher elements Of the community
that the old nobility of our country
govern their own conduct and train
their children. There are exceptions
and very glaring ones, as when one
of them becomes immersed entirely
in the philosophy of horseflesh. or
when he is so poor that he must
shut himself up in small wing or
his only remaining residence, or take
private and obscure apartments In
some provincial town.
But as a general rule, the ideal IS
aimed at. In consequence, life tends
to become utterly simple, and an

Catholic University Professor
Condemns Too Cheerful
Self Confidence"

The young men and women of
today who disregard means which
might establish reputation and char
acter, who ignore the time-proven
precepts of experience, and who
affect too-cheerful self confidence
were vigorously condemned yes

the baccalaureate sermon to the
graduates.
'Out of trust inspired" he said,

character and intelligence of the
man. No other reward is looked
for; no higher tribute can be paid
him. He needs only to exercise
care in the manner III which he
places his trust in the various ele-

which he daily comes in contact,
and he must, above all, prove by
discrimination and foresight. by
judgment and prudence, that his
wisdom is profound and constant =
