Increased Prices and Wages and Railway Valuation - It; is being urged .in some quarters -by Senator Cummins, the new chairman of the senate committed on interstate commerce, among others that 'legislation for t the future regulation of the railways under private operation should provide for a general recapitalization of the railways on thelbasis of a valuation. The Railway Age in an editorial in its current issue calls attention to the fact that apparently the valuation of the railways now being made by he interstate commerce commission is to be based almost entirely upon the cost of physically reproducing the railways, and that because of the great increases of wages and prices the valuation of the railways on this basis probably would be $5,000,000,000 greater than it would have been five years earlier. "The division of valuation expects to complete its inventory of the railroads some time late in 1920," says the Railway Age, "and judging by the preliminary reports on a few of the smaller roads

must be done, up-to-date unit costs must be used, J the valuation will be so enormous that its use as! a basis for regulating rates and earnings will cost ;

the public far more than any other basis that could be employed." "';' Quacks The Journal of the American Medical-asso

ciation says that the essence of quackery, wheth

er in medicine or anything else, consists of an ap-i

peal to the longing for haste. According tohis theory the swindler who promises a speedy relief from an incurable dis

ease is in the same class with the dishonest pro-j moter who promises an investor a dividend of 75 j

to 1Q0 per cent a year. The man who promises to give you a retentive memory in three lessons, or to develop you into a linguist in ten lessons, or make you the head of a big business with a salary of 25 to $50,000 a year is as much of a quack as the man who promises to cure you of disease by mail over night.

Fake methods never lead to success. They !

make an appeal because they are flashy and

speedy. The average man wants action, or in; other words he wants the time between cause and i

effect eliminated in a few minutes, something

that ordinarily is unattainable. It takes time to ;

cure a disease and it takes time to build up a business or acquire attainments. Few men have been able to get rich over night or to learn a new language in a week or to advance over night from a subordinate to the highest executive in an organization.

Quackery can be found in all fields and the

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAM8 DAILY TALK

A MOTEL "MAYOR'

' A hotel is a kind of unstationary home. But even more interesting than the hotel itself, with its bee-hived activity, is the man -who directs it ' - ' I recently talked with the director of one of the world's greatest, hotels and because his place was so great and because he directed it so . easily and with such rare Judgment, 1 am going to call him a hotel "Mayor" and tell .you a few things which he told me and which I feel are good things to remember. This Hotel "Mayor" directs the activities of over fifteen hundred employees alone, and looks after the interests of over two-thousand Vguests a day. Here are some of the things which he told me. "I blieve in courtsy. You cannot be too big, nor run' a business" too large and expect to be successful and discourteous at the tame time. ; "Always believe in the rightness of the guest even though he may be wrong. What he buys from you is service and comfort. ; "In the handling of my helpers, I never reprimand a man before other people. I ask him to my office and talk to him personally, or I meet all of my directing heads together and talk to them collectively, throwing out my criticisms and suggestions, and leaving each man to grasp the' one that belongs to him. : : : ' , ' ."I realize that the greatest human feeling is the home feeling, and I try to make each guest'feel that there is a spark of home in my hotel. I keep la mind that the traveler is most always the doer a person of affairs. .' - . " . "I feel the importance of the bell-boy and the elevator boy as I feel the importance of the biggest man in my employ because each in his way, must represent the ideals that I seek to stamp as a trade-mark of , the place I conduct. v As I talked with that Hotel "Mayor" I am sure that I learned things. He was quiet, decisive, courteous and full of ideas. He had grown to his important position as "Mayor" of a hotel, from carrying out the same ideas at a little place in Michigan, years before and in other great hotels. He has met Presidents, Ambassadors, Senators, great representatives of nations, and yet to him, SERVICE to the humblest, unknown man,- meant as much as service to the greatest, which of course, is one of the important secrets of his high position today. It is worth while to be courteous. It is the simple things that count. Greatness is simplicity mastered. ; There are a great many things that I learned and that you can learn from the Hotel "Mayor" whom I talked to. -

When Die! Settlers Hold First Outing in Centerville?

Old settlers' meetings, which are

now attended by the sons and daugh

ters of the first, old settlers of Wayne county, and have been held at Centerville for many years, were started sometime before the Civil war. The first one of which there was much notice, however, was held Just fifty years age, on June 18, 1S69. James Perry, of Richmond, presided and made a brief address on the progress of the county. Hon. Oliver P. Morton, war governor of Indiana, also spoke. Joseph Holman, who was then the sole survivor of the first party of immigrants in 1805, Colonel James Blake, Hon. J. S. Newman, John Peele, Barnabas C Hobbs, Enoch Railsback, Jacob P. Julian, Noah W. Miner. John Green, Dr. Mendenhall, OUver . T. Jones, Isaac N. Beard, and Dr. Samuel S. Boyd, were some of the other old settlers who were on the stand. '; ; - . AU these men gave talks during the afternoon on , their experiences, and the early settlement of the county. Colonel Blake described the first United States mail which ever came to Indianapolis. John S. Newman re

membered the old path by Cox's Mill, built in 1807, to Richmond down the Whitewater, and how he and his uncle used to go to mill on horseback. Jhon Peele was the next speaker, and described the old custom of handing

Workers Needed on Farms Telegraphic reports for the past week show, a general improvement in the national employment situation, according to a statement authorized today by the United States Employment Service, which is co-operating With the Indiana Employment Commission. In Indiana, East Chicago continues to be the

center of unemployment, the official estimates stating that 4,000 are idle there for whom no jobs are available. The situations in Indianapolis and Ft. Wayne and South Bend, last week reported as improving

are this week given as "showing about an equality as between supply and demand for workers." In Evansville there is said to be a normal surplus of workers. The situation as pertains to industrial rela

tions in Indiana, is said to be "good".

inclusive. Presumably these 1914 prices were selected because they afforded the latest information available at tjie inception of the valuation. Just what significance is to be placed in 1920 on a' cost of reproduction based on unit costs applicable in 1914 has not been made clear. If a valuation is to serve any useful purpose it must be based on evidence admissible at the time that the valuation is to be used. Any estimate of the cost of reproducing a property "on a given date must be obtained by applying to the inventory quantities unit prices that are typical at the date the valuation is used. Unit prices in 1914 will have no more rear relationship to the cost of reproduc

tion in 1920 than the prices of 1904, or 1894, or any earlier year that might be arbitrarily selected. "Had there been no radical change in price levels in the years subsequent to 1914 this question would be of no particular importance, but four years of the European war have produced such an inflation of currency and other changes that the wages of labor and prices of many commodities probably average close to 100 per cent higher than in 1894, and economists hold out scant hope for any appreciable reduction from the present levels. In the words of Professor Irving

Fisher of Yale University, 'To talk reverently of 1913-14 prices is to speak a dead language.' "Notwithstanding these considerations, there are current references to a valuation of railway properties in the neighborhood of $17,000,000,000 a figure obviously based on past costs whereas the use of present unit costs of labor and materials probably would produce a valuation 50 tier cent higher than would those of 1914.

Higher Standard For Baptist Ministers Urged DENVER, Col-" May 23. Raising the standard of Baptist ministers so that none but well Qualified men in. education, leadership and "backbone" should occupy pulpits of the denomination is among the recommendations in the report of the committee on standardization of the ministry, which was to be presented to the Northern Eaptist convention today. Several states, through the influence of the committee, the report says, have adopted a higher standard for the ministry but in others personal influence has been used to have poorly qualified men ordained. Aside from consideration of reports, part of the morning session was devoted to receiving greetings from the Southern Baptist convention brought by Prof. J. B. BambreU of Texas. The report of the laymen's survey committee which outlined a huge financial campaign and world evangelism program for the next five years, also was to be discussed today. The report was read last night and every delegate given a copy so that Intelligent discussion could be undertaken today.

With the approach of the harvest period the shortage of workers becomes more and more acute. It is predicted by those in charge of the employment offices that unless there is a change in the developments soon, it may be necessary to recruit volunteer workers to take care of the heavy Indiana crops, as was done during the war emergency.

ARL.Y enthusiasm over the initial success of the

American airmen in reaching the Azore's in their

trans-Atlantic flight must give way to regret over

the probable fate of the British entrant, Harry Hawker, who, starting after the Americans had completed . one leg of their journey, attempted an uninterrupted flight fjoni Newfoundland to Ireland. : Hawker's attempt, in a biplane and with one companion, and over a longer course, marked him a fearless aviator and thorough sportsman. He took a long chance on beating the Americans across and seems to have failed, but his courage and sportsmanship entitle him to admiration and praise. Whatever his fate,, and whether it is ever learned or not, his name must always be linked with the history of man's conquest of the air and of the aerial Atlantic passage. s ' - - Two of the American naval planes, not without mishap, have completed the longest stretch of their course and have every promise of, reaching the continent on the next flight. ; Commander Towers and his crews have .demonstrated that the feat they have attempted can be accomnlished. From Newfoundland to the Azores is a

if it does not measure the entire distance between the western and eastern shores of the Atlantic, is one that leaves no question of the practicability of the trans-Atlantic air passage. America and the whole world will congratulate the naval fliers on their success. With every precaution which could e taken for their safety in case of accident they were still exposed to dangers the nature of which would daunt many men. And the thing to be most dreaded was the thing that happened to two of the planes. The Atlantic fog, feared even by the greatest liners, shut down almost at the hour when they expected to make harbor and the navigators were forced to take their chances on the water. Good fortune brought the crews toshore, although but two planes are in condition to continue the flight to Portugal. i The Americans performance has laid hold of all imaginations and all eyes are now turned to. the last stretch the home stretch of this most remarkable of all races men have run. Courage, persistence, skill and the confidence that goes with all have taken them thus far and brought them within a final spurt of their goal. Those qualities, we all feel sure, will take them the rest of the

flight which esthUhns a. nnw record for distance, and way, which all good fortune and fair winds grant!
