Handicap to Norfolk
From the Norfolk vIreinian-Pilot.

From the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
Decision of the Virginia railroads to
discontinue, beginning April /, the Bal
timore basis of rates on shipments from
9. =. A. territory to Hampton Roads
upsets q parity between Norfolk and
Baltimore that has been in effect half
a century and creates definite handi-
cap for Norfolk in its competition with
the Maryland port for business. The
old parity will continue as to shipments
moving in the import, export and coast
wise trade, but in respect to all other
traffic Norfolk will be handicapped in its
competition with Baltimore for business
moving to and from the Middle West by
freight differential as high as IL cents
per 100 pounds for f1rst-claSs freight to
chicago, the adverse differential declin-
ing to cents per 100 pounds in the
sixth class and cents per 100 pounds
In the fourth. Comparable differen-
tials VIII handicap the port in its COM
petition with Baltimore. as regards
freight moving to and from Detroit and
st. Louis and to and from points be-
tween these cities and the seaboard.
How much damage this proposed ap-
plication Of the Eastern class rates de-
clslon VIII do to this port Is open to
Commissions commerce counsel H. e.

Gus. so does H. j. Wagner director of

and Henry Barbee OF the State Port
Authority. It is hard, in view of these
expert opinions, to draw any comfort

views will prove the gloomiest. There

GINA railroads figuring In this decision
are the Chesapeake & Ohio and Norfolk
" Western. Their connections for the
seaboard-to Middle-Wes traffic are
chiefly roads affiliated with them-mem-
bers with them Of the Pennsylvania and
Van Swertngen families. Maybe, If the
new disparity begins to initiate against
this port, there will be q new family
consultation and readjustment. At
least 1t is fairly clear what "connec-

base to the Monument, which 20 1T
tingly commentaries the Father Of His
Country, Is in keeping with the sim
plicity Of the great shaft.
Millions Of persons from every nook
and Granny Of the Nation have walked
up the gentle, wide slope Of green
sward which lies like a benediction
around the mighty Monument.
Something in that sheer stretch OF
grass has met the appreciation Of them
all. The approach, grit by majestic
trees, has prepared their hearts and
minds for the reverence which every
one feels.
Construction of a sunken garden Is an
old proposal, but only recently were
tests taken to show the nature OF the
drilling which would have to be done
The soil has been found to contain much
water, and the rock on which the Mon
ument rests extends to a great depth
Construction work would be dih1cult
and dangerous.
The position of the Washington
Monument In relation to the Lincoln
Memorial and the Mall demands further
consideration of plans to beautify the
grounds, however, and this study prop
erly will continue.
In all such study 1t is to be honcd and
it is now believed that every effort will
be made to keep to the rigid simplicity
which marks the present satisfactory
scheme of things there. The Monument
is a type Of structure which tolerates
nothing Of the baroque. The National
Capital breathes sigh of relief at the
announcement Of Col. Grant.

National Honor Urged
For s'HerO" of Science

From the Fort Worth Record-Telegram.
While the habit Of the beStowal of
medals is still prevalent it is fitting to
call attention to deserving case which
probably will not even be given serious
consideration.
The name Of the deserving "hero" is
DR.. Frederick H. Baetjer and he Is on
the faculty of Johns Hopkins Medical
School of Baltimore.
He has lost an eye, four fingers of his
right hand and his left arm in a series
of "offensives" against disease. The
wounds" were received during a long
series of experiments with X-rays as a
healing agency. He created the various
leases" and applied the rays" to them
that the successive reactions might be
noted, scientifically.
What citation IN the name Of patri-
otism should be written in such a case?
The usual influences that exalt partici-
pants in battle were entirely absent
the elemental representative instinct
to inject a species of desperation into
the act. He needed a subject" for his
experiments. He supplied one in his
own person.
1t seems high time that we were
stopping the old system of Specialize
ton in heroes" They should be In
Guided in that gold" that els where
you find it." We have been doing much
business for long time with heroes"
who have inspired the poets. We should
prosaic ones. Paying the supreme sac
rifice In the name of national defense
Is very fine act, indeed. But how
much finer is 1t than paying the same
price for the benefit of the national
health?

Salary Injustice.

The Senate seems determined to have
justice done in the departmental ap-
preparation bills to those Government
employees whose salaries are recognized
as being lower than the average for
their class and grade Of work through
out the service, and TO provide increases
pledged 70 them by the administration
and by Congress under the clasSifica-
ton act through q three-year program.
Chairman Wood Of the House Appro-
priations Committee has been using all
the power Of his Craftsmanship TO
thwart the recommendation of the
budget that approximately 80 per cent
Of the $l4,400,0o0 estimated as re-
CURED to bring all under-ayerage sal
aries up TO the average be appropriated
for the fiscal year beginning July
next. He has gone further than that
and endeavored, through q rider on an
appropriation bill, 10 prohibit the pay
ment of any increases In salary within
grades known as administrative pro-
motions"
When this so-called Wood amend
ment" first came before the House as
rider on the Treasury-Post Once
appropriation bill it was blanket pro-
vision to cover all departmental and
independent establishment appropria-
ton bills. This was knocked out on
q point Of order, but the same prohibi-
ton a. applying 10 the two depart
