The Human Approach

The proposed consolidation Of all eastern rail-
roads into four big systems may be sound economically
and still be laden with grave social dangers in throw
ing upon the streets thousands more jobless men,
One of the heads of the four systems, Daniel Will
lard president of the Baltimore 81 Ohio sees this
threat
ut is my thought" wrote Willard in the execu-
ives service bulletin, that in the contamination of
any plan of consolidation involving the B. & o.
which the interstate commerce commission may ap-
prove, the B. & O. should undertake to safeguard the
interests Of all its employees.
More specifically this means that every man
employed by the B. & o. should be retained in the
service of the company in the same work and at the
same compensation so far possible and justiiabe
and that the same treatment should be extended to
the employees of other companies which may be uni
fled with this company"
Willard said that in cases where actual services
are terminated, the company should provide similar
or equivalent jobs at other places for the men af-
fecteo. England, he pointed out, has written this
obligation into act of parliament
ITO do less than this he added would be unjust
to large group of deserving men and women, now
looked upon as seni-public servants. The public
interest does not require benefits derived from unjust
treatment of those who now man the railroads"

Keep the Primary

Once again the politicians are endeavor-
ing to take away the primary from the peo-
pie and to throw control of political parties
into the hands of the few.
For the most part, the sponsors Of these
movements in the legislature come from
those whose records have so little to COM
mend them that they are afraid to again
submit their fate to the people.
( Instead of repeating the primary law, the
Legislature would do better if it restored the
right of nominating the Governor and SEN
ators by direct vote.
1t is true that there are faults in the
primary method of nomination, but they do
not compare to the evils of a convention
system
S The convention permits the easy manipu-
lation of government by the bosses who are
usually paid, in some form, by the utilities
and other privileged interests.
The convention system is designed to take
away from the people any voice in their own
government.
If there were any real desire to have real
representative government, the legislators
would turn their thoughts toward shortening
the ballot and strengthening of the primary
Reform might come in this manner. Only
autocracy, graft and corruption can come
from limitations upon the peoples power.
About the only argument against the pri-
mary is that it could produce legislators who
recognize in their own unftness evidence OF
lack of ability on the part of the people to
make wise choices.

eating the pie and cake left by the
last generation. That wasn't the
way the last generation did it. or
or several generations before.
They took chances, built railroads

Engineering may not demand the
blood that war and politics have
called for, but it does demand the
money, the mass cooperation, the
moral support.
We have permitted engineers to
do some very wonderful things helc

them an equal chance with generals
and statesmen.
When civilization mobilizes behind

that machinery has made more room

FinIand'S WickerShau,

Finland now has its Wickersham committee, Just
as 1t has its prohibition and its booeggers and con-
gested prisons The government has appointed a.
board to investigate social conditions created by pro-
hibtion and to make recommendations
Apparently there is a rather good prospect that
this boards report will be helpful than that wet
report with dry. summary recently transmitted by
President Hoover to the congress of the United
States.
The Finnish committee, unlike the wickersham
committee, has been directed to make recommen-
dations looking to the furtherance of temperance
Temperance is something we are inclined to over
look in our discussions of prohibition in this coun-
try It should be the objective of those who support
the eighteenth amendment but, If it is, this fact
is not always clear

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Colds of Today Taller, Heavier

He took the records of five coll
leges, drawing students from all
over the country. In some of the
colleges the available records go
back as far as 1881.
The total number of girls studied
was $3.50, and the years covered
were from 1882 to 1915.
In 1880 another study was made
of the freshman girls from the same
five institutions. The points par
ticularly noted were age, weight,
height, lung capacity, girth of the
patient and vital index.
The figures show definite progress
in the physical quality of the ma
terial concerned.
If the 40 years of Investigations
are divided into three periods of
little more than fifteen years each,
the figures show that freshman
girls in the first period were on the
average 1872 years of age, in the
second period 1875, and in the third
period 1875.

a THOUGH I am on the other
4 n side, it seems to me extremely
likely that we are headed for
theatrical censorship. This will be
a tragic misfortune, and yet the
playwrights and to a much greater
extent the producers are to blame.
Please don't assume that I am
about to say they should have
cleaned house without any compul-
sion from outside. I think nothing
of the sort.
The error of the theater has been
in assuming a defensive attitude
in going one-third of the way TO
admit that the stage is in parlouS
condition and that something ought
to be done about it.
The truth Of the matter, as I see
it, is that the theater never was in
a more live and vigorous state as
far as it's artistic achievements and
potentialities go.
The growth in frank, colorful and
faithful native drama is almost
Wholly coincidental with the devel-
o. nent of the so-called hcentious
stage. A clean theater and a dead
theater are synonymous.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-02-05

The weight of the girls on the
average in the first period was 1888
pounds, the second period 1889, and
the third 1882 pounds. Their height
for the first period was 1895
centimeters, the second period 1905,
and the third period 1916.
The lung capacity increased from
1905 to 1907 and to 1856. The
girth of the patient from 1871 to So.7
and the third group has also girth
Of 8O.7.
Finally, the vital index increased
from 1872 to 1873. These studies in
dictate that the girls entering
colleges today are taller, heavier,
somewhat younger, and, in general,
of better physical vigor than the
girls of 80 and of IS years ago.
This probably is due to better
health conditions in homes and to
the application of better methods
of hygiene and more healthful
living.

Here Are Four

MOT three or four of the best
IN plays of the last few years
would have escaped the censor'S
pencil, Rain" What Price Glory?"
and 1.-THE Green Pastures to name
some of the outstanding dramas Of
our day, would all have been turned
back under any form of censorship
which a law could create.
And I cite 1.-THE Green Pastures"
particularly because it is precisely
the type of fine play which must be
sacrificed to a licensing system.
The law which Senator Mastick
is sponsoring in New York is not
content to bar obscenity.
1t also contains a clause forbid
ding the sacrilegious.
"Obscenity" is a word difficult of
definition, but it is easier by far
than "sacrilegious." That is a word
which will be used and always has
been used to ban anything.
In other words, the dogmatic
churches, which have been fast los
ing ground because modern thought
has obliged them to stand up and
fight for the validity of their creeds
are doing the cry baby act.
They will insist that the anthem
ITCHY of orthodoxy is not a fit SUBJ
ject for public and dramatic debate
Sex is to be taken out of the
theater, and also religion, which
leaves the budding playwright very
little but the musical glasses.

Has HAPPENED

1T is not fantastic to assert that a
L play such as THE Green Pas
lures" would be the first victim of
any form of legal censorship. The
fact is on record that 1t has been
banned in Britain, where the licens-
ing rules are by all testimony, mod
crate and liberal.
If there was such thing as in
telligent censorship, England would
come as close as any nation ever
has to possessing it.
And do not believe for moment
that any stipulation concerning
sacrilege will stop at mere examina-
ton of the mood of any dramatic
transcript from the Bible.
It will go farther than that. 1t
will be used as q weapon to compel
every playwright to treat the cloth,

Marks to Shoot At

XXTHY not a second canal
w through Nicaragua? Why
not a dam across Baffin straits to
change the climate of New England
and eastern Canada? Why not a
tunnel under the English channel?
Why not a great inland sea to kill
the scorching effect of Sahara, or
a dozen other enterprises that really
would challenge the strength of this
age and give folks something really
worth while to brag about?
Cost, you say? Well, just think
over this for a month. Thirteen
years ago, the civilized world
burned up 100000, 100000, slaugh-
tered 100000 of its best men, and
crippled 100000 more, for the
sake of war.
It could dig a ditch from New
York to San Francisco, or bridge
the Atlantic for less money, not to
mention the human misery involved.
Don't you realize that the battle
of the Marine, the siege Of Verdun,
or any other major action on the
western front represented a bigger
outlay in dollars and cents than
the Panama canal?

If this government hasn't enough gumpton to call
Falls ancient bluff and haul him into court and give
him what's coming to him, it ought to go into the

It seems able to hand it to General Butler who

Editor Times-Few people seem to
realize that our state legislature is
more concerned with our welfare
than is congress. Both congress and
the general assembly are now in
session. Usually when the paper
is picked up the comic page is read
first, then the front page sensations,
the news Of congress, then, perhaps,
the news Of the general assembly.
We leave what concerns us most to
be read last, in our idle moments,
or, not at all.
Our legislature is vastly more i'm
portant to our daily life than we
give credit. Congress acts on sub
ject9 that are so large in scope that
we are concerned only remotely in
comparison with the state legisla-
ture and the bills it enacts or fails
20 enact.
The general assembly acts upon
bills that affect our criminal laws,
school laws, marriage and divorce
laws, civil laws, and many other laws
that in general affect us more than
laws made by congress.
Criminals are judged, sentenced
and imprisoned according to our
state statutes. If they escape SEN
tence, then they do so through the
laxity of our law organization. II

law may be evaded, then q way OF

Vision Lacking

DEOPLE constantly are saying
L that the machine age is killing
work, and it is, if work includes no
more than meat, drink and pleasure.
But if work means the larger scheme
of making such experiments and i'm
provements as our ability, training,
and resources permit, the machine
age is creating so many op-
portunities that We couldn't take
advantage of them if every man,
woman and child were to toll six
teen hours day for the next thou
sand years.
1t is not lack Of opportunity, but
lack of vision that ais society.
