Is Discussion Useless f
Reviewing the legislation odder
which a number of middle western
statps are expected to try varying ex
periments in bank deposit guaranty.
The Outlook Indulges la tils side re
mark: Whatever may be Its weakness and In
adequacy In times of general financial
distress. It appeals to the man with money
In ths bank and In a community where
this olass of persons Is In the majority It
Is useless to discuss the question of eco
nomics or of b&slo principles.
Is it useless to discuss the question
of economics or the basic principles
Involved in the scheme of deposit
guaranty? Are the people of the west
willing to admit that they are actu
ated merely by blind sentiment or un
reasoning prejudice, or are they gov
erned by what appeals to them as
reasonable and Just? If it were use
less to discuss public questions from
the standpoint of economics or basic
principles because a majority of the
people in a community had money In
the bank, or had no money at all, then
the only course to pursue would be to
accept every political nostrum or cure
all as presented and submit it to prac
tical experiment no matter what the
cost or what the assurance of failure.
It is true that the mass of unthink
ing people are once in a while led
astray by glittering bubbles without
substance, but they usually set them
selves right in time as a result of dis
cussion. When the free sliver craze
was at Its height the majority of the
people of the middle west were at
tracted by it. Most of them were in
debt and would have welcomed any
promising plan to relieve th'em of their
burdens without practicing dishonesty.
Noisy agitators undertook to persuade
them that it would not be dishonest to
pay their creditors in depreciated
money, but thorough discuslson of the
basic principles finally led to the re
jection of 16 to 1.
So with the latest device of deposit
guaranty we are convinced that the
question of economics and basic prin
ciples will eventually be the deter
mining factor. The mere fact that
the men with money in the bank con
stitute a majority, or a minority in the
community will not determine whether
deposit guaranty is sound or unsound,
whether it will produce better banking
methods, whether It will prevent runs,
whether it will make panics impossible
or whether it collides with the guar
antees of the constitution which the
courts are bound to regard as para
mount to all considerations of expedi
ency.
Educational Side Shows.
As was naturally to be expected,
the recent protest of President Wood
row Wilson of Princeton against "the
sideshows" around our colleges
"swallowing up the circus" is attract
ing no little attention and eliciting
general approval.
The danger of having the main pur
pose of our Institutions of higher
education obscured by diversions that
make Intellectual training subsidiary
to athletic contests, fraternity life and
other forma of student sociability
seem 8 to be accentuated as the insti
tutions grow in she and the students
Increase in numbers. All the promi
nent educators who have dwelt on
this subject agree that what Is wanted
Is a well-balanced college activity in
an atmosphere that conduces to studl
ousness without neglecting the re
quirements of healthy physical devel
opment and stimulating relaxation.
Plainly there Is a reaction against
the tendency that has manifested
itself among many colleges to seek to
attract students by the multiplication
of the sideshows rather than by
strengthening the performance in the
main tent We believe that the state
universities of the west have tres
passed in this way less than some of
the big endowed universities of the
east, and yet the words of caution will
not come amiss even here.
Great Western Reorganization.
The Chicago Great Western reor
ganization plan has been promulgated,
and the fact that J. P. Morgan & Co.
are underwriting the securities may
be taken to indicate that it is accept
able to enough of the interested
parties to make it effective. It is im
portant to this and other sections
served by the road that it should
emerge from the receivership as soon
as possible and it is fully as important
that It should be strong enough when
reorganized to meet all proper de
mands upon It.
The reorganization plan provides
for a capitalization of 1115,000,000,
as against $125,000,000 for the old
company. In addition (25,000,000 is
raised by assessments to wipe out the
floating debt of 115,000,000 and leave
$10,000,000 for betterments of the
property. The direct and Indirect re
duction in capitalization of $25,000,
000 is partially offset by $640,000 per
year Interest charge on bonded debt,
bonds being substituted for deben
tures. Altogether the new company
would appear to start out much
stronger financially than the old and
to that extent better able to meet the
needs cf its territory.
Important to communities reached
by the line is the assurance the reor
ganization gives that the road is not
to be divided up among other roads,
as had been persistently rumored. The
reorganisation plan provides for
merging all subsidiary corporations
Into one and this would render segre
gation Improbable, If not impossible.
It does not conclusively prove, how
ever, that the entire line may not fall
under domination of the owners of
some other company.
The receivers have done much to
improve the property's physical con
dition and railroad men assert it is in
better JAaA avox fceiore la Us
history. The $10,000,000 available
cash to continue the work of improve
ment should bring it up to a higher
standard and eventually make the
road a valuable and vital link in the
transportation system of the country
between the great lakes and the Mis
souri river.
The Japanese in Hawaii.
The strike of the Japanese sugar
plantation laborers in the Hawaiian
islands demonstrates clearly that the
Jap la a force to be reckoned with
wherever he gains a foothold. He is
aggressive and the idea of domination
Is Etrong. He Is also politic and does
not show his hand until the time
seems opportune. In weighing the re
ports the prejudice in the islands
against the Japs must be considered,
but discounting the rumors it is ap
parent that the little brown men have
developed a well-defined plan of racial
aggrandizement It is doubtful
whether this is political, as their op
ponents assert, so much as it is indus
trial. Sugar is the main industry of
the islands and naturally both natives
and Americans object to the Japanese
gaining control. Exposure of the
plans is likely to defeat them for the
present, but the Japs are persistent
and not likely to abandon their pur
pose, if it ever was entertained.
The Japanese military proclivities
are recognized everywhere but they
are no stronger than their commercial
aggressiveness. It is apparent that
they aim to dominate the commerce
and shipping of the Pacific and con
trol of the sugar industry of Hawaii
would be a long step In this direction.
It would be unfortunate if the
Hawaiian .incident should revive the
antagonistic feeling on the Pacific
coast against the Japanese which was
threatening during the Roosevelt ad
ministration. This is not probable,
however, as immigration has ceased,
many of the Japs have returned to
their native land and the feeling
against them there has largely sub
sided. A Great Church Pageant.
The great pageant at London, por
traying the history of the Church of
England, must have been an inspiring
spectacle regardless of the onlookers'
views of religious matters. . The
church has been a most potent force
in civilization and the wrongs perpe
trated in Its name from time to time
are no denial of the great uplifting
force it has been to humanity. If not
itself In advance of the thought of the
age, it has at all times been the inspi
ration to higher thought In all Chris
tian lands, and the church Itself has
advanced through tho attrition of con
troversy which often threatened its
existence.
The Church of England as it existed
under Henry VIII would cut a sorry
figure in modern theological thought
and there are few who would measure
up to its standards of orthodoxy, yet
it was doubtless as well suited to min
ister to its time as the modern church
Is to meet twentieth century condi
tions. If truthfully portrayed the
church pageant must be a great edu
cator, for it tells In one brief allegory
the story of the struggles of centuries,
during which it has moulded sentiment
and at the same time been moulded
by those struggles.
Faults of American Hen.
A long indictment of American men
Is presented in the June Atlantic by
a well-Informed woman which, while
really more formidable n appearance
than in fact, embodies some features
worth passing notice. The most seri
ous accusation to which a partial plea
of guilty must be entered is that
American men are not sufficiently a
part of real home life. American
men are good providers, willing to
tend the furnace, mow the lawn and
perform similar tasks, or hire some
one to do it, but they are too busy to
assume the burden of the home educa
tion of children or look after the so
cial affairs of the young people of the
household.
The point is doubtless well taken
that the average American man is not
devoted to society as the term is un
derstood abroad and often holds for it
a decided contempt. It may well be
questioned, however, If the happy me
dium between the two is not better
than either. The complaint that
American men have no time to go
shopping with their wives is not likely
to be taken seriously. The average
American husband certainly is a poor
messenger to send after curl papers
and he has been known to forget to
mail his wife's letters, but It Is doubt
ful If his presence! on a shopping tour
would be more pleasing to the wife
than to the husband.
The chargo Is reiterated that Amer
ican men do not know how to make
love and that this fault is responsible
for so many American women marry
ing foreigners. Possibly this is true,
but many million American men have
been able to make themselves under
stood In Cupid's tongue, and the fact
that practically all our international
marriages are of rich American
helresscB and more often unfortunate
in their outcome points the stronger
moral that It is too bad American
women do not see- through the pol
ished pretense of the fortune-seeking
foreigners. American men will not
quarrel with the assertion that old
world manners are .nore polishad, but
are fairly well content with a frank
ness which does not cover up more
objectionable faults.
The accusation of provincialism is
undoubtedly well taken. American
men as a rule are well satisfied with
themselves and their country as com
pared with others. It is a characteris
tic common to ail self -repec dug peo
ple. The European, whom the writer
lauds so highly, is as provincial in his
way as any. As a class he generally
knows less of us than we do of him.
Extreme provincialism, which sees
nothing good In others, Is a grievous
defect, but it is by no means fatal to
progress and happiness. The Ameri
can man has his faults, but he demon
strates every day that he is fairly
capable of caring for himself in all
walks of life.
Conflict of Scienoe and Eeligion.
The flareback precipitated by the
threatened expulsion of a Chicago un
iversity professor from the Baptist
denomination simply adds a paragraph
to the current chapter in the peren
nial conflict of science and religion.
The university professor has offended
grievously by writing a book, ques
tioning some of the established tenets
of the church and making assertions
calculated to bring certain religious
teachings into disrepute. The profes
sor in question insists that he is try
ing to strengthen rather than to
weaken the cause of religion and that
the purpose of bis book is to square
church doctrines with the discoveries
of modern science.
When sifted down, the present out
break is but a renewal in a different
form of the hot fires of denunciation
that were kindled by the promulga
tion of the doctrine of evolution,
which conflicts diametrically with the
Biblical story cf the creation. Yet
the theory of evolution has been ac
cepted in whole or in part in practi
cally the entire field of natural
science. Geology teaches that it took
ages to form the earth into a solid
mass and biology traces the gradual
development of animal life from the
lowest and simplest forms to the
highest and complex forms. History
has even proved a development of
ceremonials of religious worship from
primitive savagery to twentieth, cen
tury times. And still our most
learned scientists have generally con
tinued to be profoundly religious and
to find nothing in the evolutions of
nature to destroy their belief in a
Divine guidance.
What has been called the conflict
between science -and religion, there
fore, Is more apparent than real. It
Is a skirmish of the outposts and not
a war of extermination on either side.
The divisions between religious de
nominations are no longer so sharp as
they were because of the growing sen
timent of tolerance. The same senti
ment will reconcile the discoveries of
science with faith in true religion be
cause true religion does not depend
upon outward forms.
Employers' Liability Insurance.
The toll which modern industrial
life exacts of human life and limb has
brought into existence an entirely new
business of employers' liability Insur
ance, the extent of which is little
known. A prominent contractor Is
authority for the statement that few
large steel structures are erected on
which one or more workmen are not
killed during construction. Fatalities
almost always attend the building of
big bridges and the universal employ
ment of power machinery in factories
causes the death and maiming of
many. Damage suits result and in
many instances menace the solvency of
the enterprise. Tb divide this risk is
the field of employers' liability insur
ance. The first employers' liability insur
ance was written In this country' rn
1886 by a British company, and ten
years later only $300,000 of such in
surance was in force. During the
next decade it had risen to $6,000,000
and in 190$ $21,000,000 in premiums
were collected for such insurance.
These are the figures of the Connecti
cut Insurance bureau, and are incom
plete because they include only com
panies licensed to do business In that
state .
The gradual evolution of the law
regarding the liability of employers
for injuries Inflicted upon employes
has brought into being this immense
business. Primarily only the men in
sured and those engaged in writing
the Insurance are effected, but ths
greatest benefit accrues to the workers.
Until someone is actually maimed or
killed employers too often neglect
necessary precautions. The Insurance
man insists upon eliminating danger
as far as possible and the menace of
Increased insurance rates is the effec
tive means of enforcement. '
Speaking of Mr. Bryan, the only In
dication to be found in the current
issue of the Commoner that he may
be a candidate for office is this, di
rected to Senator Stone of Missouri:
Ths Commoner can say that Mr. Bryan
recognises ths fallibility of human opinion
and admits his liability to error, but he be
lieves that Bsnator atone and those who
voted with him erred, and erred to ths
treat Injury of ths party and ths country,
and his confidence In his position on this
subject Is not shaken by ths expressed
views Of bis distinguished friend. SennUr

Such Chesterfleldlan politeness
might well be ascribed to a candidate
for office.
' According to the best statistical
compilation, our Fourth of July cele
bration of last year involved the kill
ing or wounding of 6,623 persons. A
large part of these easualties could
have been prevented by sensible' regu
lation without in any way dampening
patriotic ardor or marring the enjoy
ment of the day. Costly experience
may be the best schoolmaster, but in
the matter of celebrating the glorious
Fourth we do not seem to leara any
thing by experience.

1900? If the same democratlo candi

every time he runs, how Is it that the
vote he receives gets smaller and

His mother's warm hand 'neath ths table
feels
For mine, and she whispers "The Boy."
For a wonderful moment he's with us
' again,
With his wonderful,' twisted grin
And his silvery laugh chills our hearts In
pain.
As if ours were ths sun fairy's sin. .
The vision fades fast and the dying sua
Casta a single last lingering ray,
Where two round, pudgy hands, until
prayer was done,
Tightly clasped on tho table lay.
Just as a little black chair with an empty
seat,
Wnm. anA nMnriMl. and scratched.
Where two fat dimpled hands Impatient
punea
At a shiny old belt attaohed.
Guard Your Eyes
By having them examined at the first
sign of weakness. Borne persons incur
the grave risk of losing their sight by
negieotlng nature's warning, simply
because they are afraid of the ex-
Rense. By coming to us ths expense
i reduced to a minimum consistent
with the best work, and you are as
sured easy, restful vision, and that
means much to everybody, especially
when your eyes msan brsad and but
ter to most of us.
