FHTSICAL TALCATIUIT OF RAILROADS,
Gathering signs of the times augur
a movement culminating in the next
congress for a physical valuation of
111 the railroad property of the United
States to be made originally, or at
least confirmed, by some duly author
ized federal officer or commission. The
mere suggestion by Senator LaFol
lette of providing for such a physical
valuation of railroad property In con
nection with the rate regulation bill
at the time the latter was pending a
year ago met with Immediate and un
compromising resistance on the part
of the railroad champions and yet in
dications are not wanting that the very
proposal then rejected will be sought
snd advocated by its former opponents.
The changed attitude of the railroad
managers on this subject is naturally
calculated to cause surprise, but It Is
no more surprising than the change
evinced by the same railroad magnates
appealing to President Roosevelt to
save them from adverse state legisla
tion by extending the scope and opera
tions of the Interstate Commerce com
mission under the rate law they pre
viously denounced as calamity-bearing
and unconstitutional. The fact Is that
Intelligent railroad men who are not
blinded by their own prejudice see
much more to be gained for them from
an authoritative valuation of their
property than is to be lost. Seeing
the handwriting on the wall fore
shadowing legislation to prohibit fu
ture watering of stocks and bonds,
they are anxious to have the valuation
of their outstanding securities placed
upon a firm foundation now while
prices are up t and construction cost
high rather than wait for prosperity
to recede and reduce the value level
of their property. If they can secure
for their stocks and bonds recognition
of substantial ingredients and a mini
mum of wateriby having the physical
valuation made now, they will have a
standard established as a rate-making
basis which will hold up future earn
ings and steady the stock market quo
tations. As against these advantages the only
point at which the railroads are likely
to suffer lies in the matter of taxation,
because a good, stiff valuation of phys
ical property supporting capitalization
will at once be reflected In the assess
ments for taxation. The railroads,
however, could well afford to pay taxes
upon a higher assessment, if by so do
ing they fix present valuations as the
minimum rate-making basis.
Eecause, however,. the railroads may
soon ask for an official physical valua
tion which they formerly opposed, af
fords no good reason why anyone for
merly favoring It In spite of railroad
opposition should favor It any. less.
The disposition of the American peo
ple as a whole is to be perfectly fair
with the railroad magnates and mana
gers and thorough information as to the
value of railroad property will go a
long way toward settling many other
controversies. The work of valuation
is a stupendous task, which cannot be
accomplished in a week or a month,
but when once' done It should go far
toward reconciling the vital conflicts
between the railroads and the people.
I
MEDICAL EDUCATION AKD PRACTICE.
The layman whose assortment of ali
ments sustains the medical profession
may be pardoned for discussing the
need of better educational and prac
tical equipment for physicians, In view
of the assertion made by Dr. W. T.
Means, chairman of the Judicial coun
cil of the Association of American
Medical Colleges, that of the 4,000
doctors graduated annually from our
medical colleges at least 8,000 are -utterly
Incompetent to practice. At a
conference of the council Just held In
Chicago Dr. Means made an elaborate
report, buttressed by statistics, In
which appears this statement:
The average man who qualifies as a med.
leal practitioner ta deficient In knowledge
of bacteriology, chemistry, physiology,
anatomy. I doubt If he could make a
laboratory test for typhoid fever.'
Astonishing and alarming as Dr.
Means' report may appear on the sur
face, the fact remains that a remark
ablo advance In the methods and re
quirements Of medical education has
been made In the last few years andN
the report Itself is an assuring evi
dence that American medical colleges
are adopting more and more stringent
regulations to eliminate the Incompe
tent and Illiterate practitioner. Only
a few years ago the country was over-
supplied with alleged medical colleges
that turned loose two or three classes
of so-called physicians each year to
practice upon the country. Many
states have passed laws making the
operation of such institutions impos
sible and the entire tendency Is to
lessen the facilities of fake Institutions
for flooding the country with quacks
and charlatans.
The American Medical association is
now striving to make it impossible for
a student to receive a diploma from a
medical college until he has received
a collegiate training or a course of
study that will give him the mental
training and discipline so essential to
success in medical practice. It is pro
posed to lengthen the minimum course
of study and to Include In it other cul
tural work that will equip the gradu
ate with an Intellectual authority ob
tainable only after broad schooling.
The public will approve the efforts
of Cie medical college faculties In thus
lnslavlng upon more thorough prepa
ration; by aspiring medical students.
The colleges, the medical profession
add the public will all profit by any
plan that will raise the standard of
the medical graduate. The country
has suffered enough f rom the halt-
baked species In all the professions
snd will welcome any effort that ad
vances educational and ethical Stand
ards in any profession.
THE DOLLAR AKD THE MAS.
A fine Illustration of the higher re
lation between employer and employed
Is furnished by the Incident at Johns
town, Pa., where seven miners were
Imprisoned underground by a sudden
rush of water. As soon as the acci
dent was reported the great coal com
pany by which they were employed set
about to effect a rescue. Every en
ergy was enlisted in the work, which
was directed by the engineering skill
of the company's experts and net for
an instant, night or day, did the effort
relax. Special pumps were hurriedly
Installed and the battle was carried on
with breathless rush, the one Idea be
ing to save the lives of the men below.
The tapping on an air pipe brought
news to the men on the surface that
the men below still lived and taps
from above carried cheer to the pris
oners. The companions of the en
tombed men worked with tireless zeal
and the corporation afforded every
means of assistance money could com
mand. After 100 hours of steady
work the men were reached and
brought alive to the surface.
Common humanity? Yes, but a
finer grade of humanity than the ora
cles of discontent would have us be
lieve exists. Much as has been said
of the dollar being placed above the
man, this incident is merely one more
in a long list that shows that when the
real emergency arrives the dollar us
ually takes a place in the rear, and the
man geta the first consideration. The
episode may bo soon forgotten in the
succession of other events, but It is not
likely that the men who work In the
coal mines around Johnstown will en
tirely overlook the fact that the coal
company stopped at nothing to save
the lives of its employes when in Im
minent deadly peril. It Is a bright
mark in the higher relations of em
ployer and employed.
THE KMFE REDIVIWS.
People of the west have never
thought of the folks In Maine as lead
ing in the march of innovations and
progress in modes of living, but some
Maine people appear to believe they
have become Jaded and must return
to the simple life. An organization,
or sect, has been formed In one of the
Maine towns which has for Its chief
aim the restoration of the table knife
to its former place as the chief article
of utility at meal time. The society
proposes to push its propaganda, not
by championing the use of the knife
direct, but by bringing the fork Into
disrepute and scandal. We quote this
excerpt from a long statement by" one
of the apostles of the new cult to prove
that the fork Is a menace to health:
Forks become clotted with food between
the tinea. When the time oomea to wash
them after the completion of a meal they
are soaked In the water and then wiped
dry. The result la that amall lumps of
food remain between the tinea whera the
dishcloth cannot reach them. They are
not noticeable and do not attract the at
tention, but they are capable of carry
ing dlaense from one person to another
among the members of a family and
throughout an entire community.
Passing over what the Maine house
wife, who (would rather be charged
with heresy than with uncleanllness In
her kitchen, thinks of this arraign
ment, It Is worth while to discuss,
briefly, the dangers attendant upon
efforts to make the Maine plan uni
versal. A man was once nominated
for lieutenant-governor of Colorado
because of his achievement at a ban
quet in eating French peas with a
knife and never dropping a pea, but
he was an elderly man, a Burvlvor of
the old Bchool and expert by years of
practice. The present generation has
been so busy with other affairs that
it has forgotten the possibilities of
the knife and remembers only Its limit
ations. The citizen of today has an Inborn
prejudice against involuntary surgical
operations and sneerlngly refers to the
party who eats with his knife as a
"sword swallower." The country Is
going to be slow to accept the new re
form. Maine's motto Is "I Direct," but
the several millions of people outside
of Maine who have been taught that
the use of the knife as a food carrier
Is not quite "respectable" will hesitate
about following Maine's direction. The
Innovation may be accepted in Arkan
sas and in some parts of Missouri, but
the rest of the country will continue
to risk the alleged unsanitary fork.
TIMBER FAMISH IX 81QHT.
The forestry division of the Depart
ment of Agriculture has Issued a
pamphlet relating to the timber and
lumber supply of the nation, with con
clusions that must be positively alarm
ing to those who consider the question
of the future timber supply of the
country snd the result of a lumber
famine upon the building and other
commercial Interests. The figures
how that the country Is consuming
three times as much timber each year
as the forests grow.
The per capita use of timber in
America is six. times that of any of the
European countries. Since 1880 this
country has cut more than 700,000,
000,000 feet of timber for lumber
alone. The forest of Michigan, Wiscon
sin and the other states along the
Great Lake have practically been de
nuded and the country must now de
pend for It supply upon the Paclfio
coast state and a fw southern tate.
In these, lumbermen. In a very frenzy
of desperation, are felling forest to
meet the existing demand at high
prlcen, without, a thought of the fu
ll re.
The United State promise to soon
be In the position Germany found Itself
160 years ago, when the country was
faced by a timber famine. The Ger
man government took prompt and rad
ical action, passing laws which made It
a felony to cut down a tree without
planting another and providing strict
regulations for the protection and
preservation of forests. Germany has
demonstrated that by scientific and
conservative treatment of the problem
recovery may be made from the effects
of recklessness in forest destruction.
One-fifth of the forest area of the
United States la embraced In the forest
reserve system and the government
proposes to take every step possible to
stop waste and increase the growth of
every acre of forest we have. In no
other way can an Increase of the tim
ber famine, already being felt, be pre
CHURCH ATTEX DA&CE AKD1XFLVESCE
Bishop Satterlee of Washington and
Rev. Thaddeus A. Snlvely, rector of
St. Chrysostom's Episcopal church
of Chicago, have both taken rather
radical positions within the week on
the question of church influence and
church attendance. In an address to
a conference of Episcopalian clergy,
Bishop Satterlee made the astonishing
declaration that the Influence of the
church Is on the decline, but that the
Influence of Jesus Christ was steadily
Increasing, due not so much to the
churches as to the Bible, which is put
into the hands of the masses, who are
doing their own thinking. The bishop
cited the decrease In church attend
ance as evidence of the decline of
church Influence. Dr. Snlvely did not
go as far as Bishop Satterlee, but he
resigned the pastorate of his church,
one of the richest in Chicago, with a
public statement, in which he said:
The principal reason why I am leaving
Is because of the appalling drain on the
attendance caused by the social fads of
the hour automoblllng, golfing and coun
try outings generally. Everybody knows
there la a steady decline all along the so
cial fabric in church-going and the enthu
siasm for church work. It aeema that the
whole world Is becoming pleasure mad.
Where or when it will end nobody knows.
First It waa the bicycle fad, then Sunday
ball playing, then golf, and now it la au
tomoblllng, plus golf and Sunday house
parties. Whether my parish has been
harder hit by these fads than other par
ishes or districts Is more than I can say
with absolute certainty, but am strongly
Inclined to think so.
Students of social conditions in Amer
ica will be slow to agree with either
Bishop Satterlee or Dr. Snlvely that
the decline in church attendance re
flects a decline in church Influence.
Statistics show that In the United
States today one of every five persons
belongs to the church. One hundred
years ago less than 50,000 children
were enrolled in the Sunday schools
of the country, whereas today the Sun
day school army numbers 30,000,000
children, with 3,000,000 officers and
teachers. Add to this the hospital
work and charitable associations, under
church auspices, the Young Men's
Christian associations and Young
Women's Christian associations, with
the Epworth league, the Christian En
deavor and the scores of similar or
ganizations directly associated with
the active or supplemental work of j
the churches, and the alarm expressed j
by Bishop Satterlee over the decline 1
of church influence must be set down
as exaggerated. '
The matter of church attendance is i
another story, affected by conditions
that may in no way be connected with
church influence. The spirit of the
times may Impel men to see what they
can get put of the church Instead of
what they may give to It by their wor
ship. Their failure to receive more
than they give may account for lack
of attendance upon church services
without In any degree lessening their
respect for the church or their aid in
extending its Influence. Dr. Snlvely's
complaint is more easily explained.
The rush, tension and artificiality of
city life forms an almost Irresistible
stimulus for the city dweller to rush
back to the soli on the Sabbath, his
only day of freedom, to get away from
the dally grind and association with
familiar faces, to get the recreation,
the recharging of health and buoyancy
that comes from contact with nature,
to. attend church In the groves God's
first temples and find the way "up
through nature's heart to nature's
God."
Governor Sheldon has notified the
members of all state Institutions that
they will be held strictly accountable
for any expenditures requiring de
ficiency appropriations. This order
alms at something most people have
been unable heretofore to grasp,
namely, why certain state Institutions,
when denied legislative appropriation
for which they have asked, should be
allowed to go ahead and contract the
obligation and by so doing compel the
next legislature to make the appropria
tion against Its will.

Railroad Rates and Postage.
The Pathfinder.
The railroads are fighting with tooth and

states to limit fares to Z cents a mile; they

cut fares they will lose money. And yet
when Uncle Sam reduced letter post ago
from S cents a half ounce to 2 vents an
ounce the receipts soon Jumped enough to
more than make up.

Tedious Criminal Trials.
Chicago Chronicle.
Is every part of this country the fedtous

clusion that Its criminal procedure must
be reformed or must break entirely down.
In Chicago It was the Shea trial. In New
Tork It was the Thaw trial. In San Fran
cisco it is the Ruef trial. In all three cases
the well known guilt of the defendants,
which ahould cause a short trial and a ver
dict of some kind. Is the cause of an al- 1
most interminable one. This country. It
la true, ought not to be like England, but
it is not agreeable to have American trials
laughed at in the home of the common law.
SHCILAR SHOTS AT THE PIXPIT.
Portland Oregon lan: Two New York min

St. Paul, "Whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever
things are Just, whatsoever thinga are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
thinga are. of good report, if there be any
virtue and If there be any praise, think
on these." There are sociological prob.
lema outside of the aluma.
Chicago Chronicle: Every man haa a
right to bla opinions In religious matters
and If a Christian Science lecturer deems
Mra. Eddy a greater personality than Jesus
Christ he has a perfect right to say ao.
Th only question la aa to the expediency
of such uttenaxtees. Rightly or wrongly, a
majority of people In this country enter
tain the conviction, mora or lesa pro
nounced, that Jesus Christ was the greatest
figure that the world has ever seen and
they believe this irrespective of their
opinion aa to his divinity. To undertake
summarily to controvert that belief la not
the way In which converts to Christian
