Railroad Rates and Profits.
The prctPXt for the proposed in
crease in railroad rates, which has
been cleverly forestalled by the injunc
tion suit brought by .the federal gov
ernment, is that the increased cost of
operation, due to higher wages and
higher prices for materials and equip
ment, make necessary an increased
revenue to meet the outlay. "If the la
borer, the manufactuicr and the mer
chant are charging us more for what
we buy of them," declares the railroad"
spokesman, "then our only escape must
be to charge the shipper and passenger
more for transportation, which 1s what
we sell to them."
Tho trouble with this sort of argu
ment is that it does not take into ac
count all the factors nor rest upon a
sound' basis of fact. Conceding the in
creased expense of operation, the of
ficial figures still show that the rail
roads of the country are reaping stead
ily increasing profits, and that the net
earnings on current business is greater
In comparison than it has ever been
before this in spite of the palpable
padding of expense accounts for the
express purpose of making a bad show
ing. Figures compiled by the New
York Journal of Commerce show that
thirty-two important railroads report
ing a gain of $23,018,823 in gross
earnings had so inordinately expanded
their exptnscs as to whittle the fig
ures of net earnings down to $3,952,
919. One or two railroads, whose ac
counting departments must be more
skillful than the others, had succeeded
in proving most gratifying increases in
gross revenues, and at the same time
that they were actually traveling in
tho direction of bankruptcy by dis
closing alarming decreases in net rev
enues. Just how these wonderful transfor
mations were brought about is not
wholly apparent on tho surface, but
some things are known which may
throw light upon them. It is known,
for example, that immediately after
the 1907 panic every proposed expend!
ture ror repairs, improvements or
equipment that could possibly wait
was turned down; orders previously
placed were countermanded, and the
railroads did nothing beyond absolute
requirements for operation. A lot of
the expenditures under these headings,
therefore, that are now being made
are merely deferred outlays that
should properly have been charged
against traffic earnings of last year
and the' year before, the transposition
exerting a double influence to weigh
down the showing, of net earnings for
this year and to expand that of the
year before, and then comparison of
these two resultant exhibits is all the
more subversive of railroad prosperity,
which is just what the railroads want
to show. v '
It is known further that some con
struction work, which In other days
would have been charged to capital
account, has been put Into current ex
penses by railroads not a thousand
miles from here of course, with no
ulterior purpose. But if new construe
tlon were to come in the same class as
wage increases, the railroads would
never have any difficulty making out
a case for raising rates at will, no mat
ter how high they might already be.
We have seen so much of railroad
bookkeeping Jugglery. In. various con
nections proofs of dire poverty when
the tax boards are equalizing assess
ments and , inflated valuations when
railroad commissions are discussing
lower rates that noticeable discrep
ancles in reports of earnings naturally
arouse suspicion and make them fall
to pass muster without verification
Practical Education.
v
Since Rockefeller and Carnegie or
ganlzed departments for distributing
their wealth among institutions of
learning men of large means seem to
have fallen with unusual facility Into
the habit of giving, and just now an
epidemic of endowment is apparently
abroad in the land, especially benefit
Ing the larger colleges and universe
ties. Harvard closed Its fiscal year
with $23,000,000 resources, Princeton
has recently fallen heir to some-$10,
000,000 from a Connecticut hermit
Johns Hopkins is completing a 12,000,-
000 endowment, while the president
of Bryn Mawr announced at the com
mencement exercises that nearly "a
million more had been raised for that
school.
The moral aspect of worldly men
giving their millions to education can
not be minimized, but neither can they
in discharging their duty to society
meet the obligation that rests heavily
upon the universities and colleges.
The latter still have much to do be
sides increase their financial resources.
They have to get down to a more thor
oughly practical system of education
than they, with all their splendid
progress, have yet reached. The de
mand of the times is for the man and
woman who knows the problems of
life, who can successfully grapple with
them, who understands something of
tho social needs and who can lend a
ready band of helpfulness to society
in satisfying its most common wants.
A prominent minister has recently
said that when he left his theological
seminary to take up the work of the
pastorate he learned for the first time
the woeful lack of preparation for
which his professors at the divinity
school were responsible. He needed
to know about the problems of society
and be did not know It. He was thor
ough in his Greek and Hebrew, his ex
tgesls and homlletlcs, but he lacked
the practical knowledge of every-day
life and people that was necessary to
make him an effective, useful minister.
loneges and universities, as well
as seminaries, have much to do yet in
. w .aw J M
making j.helr.work keep pace with the
needs of the day, and ft they will use
these Immense gifts in doing this it
will be money well spent.'
The American Passport.
No more delicate problem is en
gaging the consideration of the presi
dent and .secretary of state, and none
for which an adequate solution is more
earnestly desired, than that of the
American passport. The American
passport is a certificate of American
citizenship carried by Americans trav
eling abroad, and ought to command
for American citizens equal rights and
privileges with those accorded the citi
zens of any other nation, and for every
American citizen the same rights and
privileges accorded any other Amer
ican citizen. ' .
When any foreign nation refuses to
honor an American passport the shield
of our country la besmirched, and
when any foreign nation fails to re
spect the American passport an Insult
s imposed on our country which
every American citizen Is In duty
bound to resent. It si regrettable,
but none the less true, that the Amer
ican passport Is not respected in vari
ous parts of Europe, and that discrim
inations are practiced by several Eu
ropean nations, particularly Russia, as
between different classes of American
citizens carrying passports to which
they are entitled. Our" government
has made representations in this re
spect to Russia and other eastern Eu
ropean countries, but so far without
securing tangible results, although
with some encouragement that our de
mands will eventually De met.'
It is to bo hoped that this matter
will be pressed steadily until the
American passport as a testimony of
American citizenship is .vindicated no
matter what the race, color, religion
or previous condition of the holder so
long as he is willing and able to ob
serve the laws of the country which he
wishes to visit.
The Limit Removed.
The New York legislature recently
adjourned amended the Insurance code
by removing the limit on new. life in
surance risks which a New York com
pany may take on In any one year. It
is worthy of note that the original in
surance code imposing this limitation
grew out of the insurance investiga
tions conducted by Governor Hughes,
this particular provision constituting
one of the (reforms inaugurated as a
result of these disclosures, and that
the repeal of the present limitation,
with the approving signature -of Gov
ernor Hughes, would Indicate that he
had been convinced that this was an
unnecessary restriction.
From the very Btart the New York
life companies entered strenuous re
monstrance to that feature of the law
which placed an absolute limit on the
amount of business they ; might do,
emphasizing particularly the handicap
which it imposed upon them as 'com
pared with outside companies : free
from such' conditions. They rep
resented that if they had the organi
zation and equipment to write twice
the business permitted, stopping slurt
of their capacity meant greater bur
dens on those already insured because
the . proportionate expenses would be
reduced by spreading over a larger
number of policy holders. These argu
ments have evidently effected their
purpose, for they were never seriously
combatted, and assuming thorough su
pervision and regulation by state au
thorities, there is no good reason why
a life Insurance company should not
carry all the legitimate risks ' which
may be offered by its solicitors.
No other state 'we know of followed
New York in fixing a limitation on the
amount of insurance business : to be
done in a given time, and the repeal
of this limitation by the New York
legislature, with the consent of Gov.
ernor Hughes, makes It almost.certain
that no other state will now take it up.
. City Worldly or Indifferent?
The United 8tatea; census of relig
ious Domes reports an aggregate num.
ber of communicants, or members of
all denominations, up to three years
ago as 32,936,445, which is a substan
tlal increase over the last preceding
census, and it finds that 80.6 per cent
of the Protestants are outside the prin
cipal cities, while only 27.9 per cent
of the Catholics reside, In the cities of
the first class, those of 300,000 popu
lation or more.
Are the large cities more worldly
or simply more indifferent to religion?
I his question will naturally suggest
Itself in connection with these statis
tics and probably will go unanswered
satisfactorily. Of the Catholics'" 47.8
per cent were outside the cities of the
first, second, third, and fourth classes,
and Protestants in first class cities ag -
gregated 7.3 per cent. The Episcopal
church bad 51.2 per cent of its mem
bers In cities of the first class and the
Christian Scientists 82.6, this propa
ganda; in fact, having made little head
way thus tar In the smaller com
munities. These figures must show the oppor
tunity for a vast amount of mission
work in the large cities and they must
stand as irrefutable argument that the
people of the big cities are not taking
Interest In matters of religion. Natu
rally enough, it will be argued, and
with good reason, that the diversity of
attractions in the city tend 'to lead
men's minds away from the solemn
subject of religion, while the lack of
diffusion In the smaller towns and
communities has the opposite effect.
The city church has much keener com
petition than the country church,
though, strangely enough, there is an
energetic effort on foot right now. to
stay the "decay" of the rural church.
The churches may yet find encour
agement iu the totals of these .atatli-
tics, for they show a big growth in all
communicants, both In city and coun
try, since the fast chore h census ' In
1890, and some of these figures reflect
most hopeful signs. For instance, In
the five leading cities the proportion
of communicants to the population
was: New York, 4 4.7 per cent; Chi
cago, 40.7; Philadelphia, '38. 8j Bos
ton, 62.6, and St. Louis, 46.6 per cent.
Religion Is still the most potent motive
power in this fast-moving world.
Higher Ideals for Lawyers. .
Lawyers who are extremely sensi
tive to criticism from the laity have
not the same ground for resentment
when the critic is a lawyer himself, ffnd
especially one who has devoted a life
time to tho practice In one form or an
other. So the strictures of President
Taft upon his own profession as em
bodied in this excerpt from his address
at the Ohio Northern university must
have a fair hearing:
No one can have a profounder admira
tion for the legal profession than T have.
One must recognize that the administra
tion of Justice. In this country has suf
fered grievously from the Intensity with
which lawyers have served their clients
and tho lightness of the obligation which
thoy have felt to the court and to the
public as officers of the court and the
luw to do no Injustice. The lack of
scruples as to means which counsel too
frequently exhibit In defense or preser
vation of their clients Is often the occa
sion for popular resentment. The con
duct of the defonso of criminals in this
country and tho extremes to which coun
sel deem themselves Justified In using
to nave their clients from the Just Judg
ment of the laws have much to do with
tho disgraceful condition In which we
find our administration of law. The
awakened moral conscience of the coun
try could find no better object for Its
nfluence than In making lawyers under
stand that their obligation to their ell-
ruts Is only to see that their clients'
legul rights are protected and that they
need not and ought not to lose their own
Identity as to officers of the law in the
cause of their clients and recklessly re
sort to every expedient to win the cause.
This is indeed a severe arraignment
of the men whose profession it is to
uphold the administration of law and
facilitate the workings of justice. But,
after all, the president has but voiced
what most people know to be a fact,
and the worst of it is, as he says, he
sees no remedy except in the expulsion
from the profession of those men who
stoop to such practices. But how is that
expulsion to be accomplished? Cer
tainly there should not be but there
evidently Is, something In the ethics
of the profession that restrains even
reputable lawyers . from . proceeding
with any step looking to the disbar
ment of a disreputable attorney, so
that the task the president sets may
have to be devolved on others than the
lawyers at the bar.
California and the Oriental.
California Is looking for banner
crops this year In its orchards, vine
yards and sugar beet fields, and it is
concerned with the eld, old question
of ."'The harvest truly is plenteous, but
the laborers are' few."
When . California was making its
strenuous fight for Chinese exclusion
laws and trying to close the gates to
the. Japanese it took exception to out
side suggestion' that: the day might
come when the , Chinaman and Jan
would be needed in the vast fruit and
grape fields of the state, and long be
fore the present season the California
orchardlst and vineyardlst have come
to realize the weight of this sugges
tion. The fact is many farmers are
wholly dependent upon the oriental
and since there is a scarcity of Chinese
labor they have to look almost entirely
to the little Jap: It is out of the
question for them, to seek sufficient
white labor and the Indians of the
Digger type rare too Indolent and too
few in number to supply the demands
Large harvests have been known to
suffer because of inability to get labor
ers, because success in fruit and rats
ins, as they are'produced on such tre
mendous scales In California, requires
such facility In the labor market that
it may work almost automatically
There is no time to hunt up "hands'
when perishable crops must be taken
care of immediately.
It is highly probable that the phe
nomenal development of resources in
California, Involving Its imperious call
for hirqd help, will yet bring the Pa
clflc coast people to a new view of this
oriental question and a relaxation of
the prejudice against the little brown
or yellow man.
Race Growing Stronger.
The question has be'en propounded
by a gentleman of pessimistic tenden
cies, "Is not our race deteriorating in
physical strength?" The answer cer
tainly is in the negative if comparisons
recently made may be taken as safe,
For example, it has been found that
1 the young men of Harvard graduating
thls year are greater in height, weight
and muscular development by far than
the seniors of 1864 of either Harvard
or Yale. This improvement is at
trlbuted to the amount of time the col
lege man of today devotes to athletics,
This perhaps is the correct solution
and may be taken as indicating that
not only the average youth in college
but thoae outside college, are stronger
physically in 1910 than they were In
1861, for men, young and old, are de
veloping ineir pnysicai resources as
never before.
This is an age of conservation. The
spirit is abroad and Infectious, con
fined not by any means to agricultural
mineral or forestry resources, but It
permeates almost every sphere of
American activities, and certainly
dominates In the athletic arena. Base
ball, with its 60,000 clubs of boys and
men from 13 years of age upward an
its 750,000 players, has had a tremen
dous influence In quickening the pub
lie Interest in sports and outdoor ex
eft lee; golf, tennis and various other
similar pastimes serve the same pur
pose, though on a smaller scale. The
Toting Men's Christian associations,
ith their gymnasiums and field
sports, are also a vital part of the
movement.
The fact Is that with the strenuous
energy with which men are today en-
aging in business, involving the
necessity for so much sedentary work,
they are awakening fully to the neces-
ity of physical exercise as a means of
tting them for their exacting busl
ess, snd Instead of growing weaker
nder the weight of this rapid age,
they are conserving their vitality ana
making a little gain every day, which
in the aggregate far overlaps the
strength standards of old.
Some times excessive seal over
shoots the mark. Why should Dom
nlted States senators from Iowa think
necessary to leave their places in
Washington and invade Congressman
Walter I. Smith's district to tell his
constituents not to return him to con
gress? Can it be that the candidate
running against Congressman Smith
requires all this assistance to hold his
own!

ing after the Jeffries-Johnson fight. He
does not explain where he will be in the
few hours preceding his sermon.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat: Rev. Dr.
Russell, a preacher of a West End Pres
byterian church, had f call upon his par
ishioners to restrain their generosity while
they were raising funds to send him and
his wife abroad. Even in an era of high
cost of living there are sliver linings to the
clouds.
Baltimore American: The women of a
church In New York are to have a church
golng hat. The unrallant men complained
ot the big hats, which prevented them from
seeing tho preacher, and the women agreed
to a reform. The men had threatened to
quit the church, but the women countered
hy leaving them without a plausible ex
cuse. Providence (R. I.) Journal: It Is gratify
ing to learn upon unimpeachable authority
no less than that of the bishop of Mary
land himself that the distinguished pre
late waa not refused an audience with the
pope and Insulted besides. Why the Vati
can authorities did not take the trouble
to deny It earlier is not explained. There
was, to be sure, an element of improbabil
ity in the assumption that even Cardinal
Merry del Val would treat with disrespect
a friend of Cardinal Gibbons; yet It Is not
altogether strange that one or two episodes
In which he has figured of late should
dispose even those who have the utmost
respect for the pope to believe the worst.
Happily nothing happened in this particu
lar case to justify the strictures upon his
diplomat lo manners. It is to be hoped for
the sake of the church that nothing will
happen In the future.
