T>.e lesson that Mr. Huphes is now
.earning the same one that Presi-
dent v ',-r. learned—that a formal
plan for instantaneous world reforma-
t on is a beautiful dream.
Certainly the nations of the world
are progressing toward the discard-
.r.g of war. but it is through pradual
and painfully expen-ive educat.on as
to war's utter foolishness, and not
throurh sadden and unre.-ervti agree-
ent to be good.
THE -A ME LESSON

Railroads are pessimistic, say re-
ports. They ought to be. En til they
reouce rates to more rea-onable levela
they are merely crucifying their ow*
