TRADE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

The interview published in the World
recently with Mr.. a. Rurlngame john
son, who is interested in electrical de-
velopments in Manila. furnishes II clear
account of business opportunities for
Americans 81 our new possessions.
These opportunities do not seeI.l at al
remarkable.
Mr.. Johnson finds that the Islands
are neglected by capitalists; the pro-
posed Philippine tariff excerpts sugar
and tobacco from the free-entry pro
visions and these happen to be the
very products whose free-entry would
most help the F'ilipinos. Military force
must be maintained. The natives. like
all Asiatics. must be under some
power and held in subjection.' or
such capital AS responds to peaceful
conditions in the scaDorts 80 per cent

Unwise Leaders.

If duplicate, municipal water sys-
tenn would be a profitable enterprise,
the same enterprise would be profitable
in the hands of private corporation.
Mayor Bennett clearly pointed out in
his lucid address Thursday night that
there is absolutely no restriction on
the granting of another franchise By
the city.
Capital is always seeking Investment.
1t will gladly so into any business
which will assure a revenue of per
cent on the investment.
If the business of supplying water
to the inhabitants of Phoenix is such
profitable industry, why doesn't CAPT
tai come in here and compete with the
Phoenix Water company?
That company. with the whole tield
to itself, has led a struggling existence
and every resident of the town knows
it, With the field divided between two
water companies or between a COM
pany and the city, great loss would
fall upon both.
That is why there has been no move
toward a competing company.
Some of the most speculative men in
the city are whooping it up for the
bonds. If they honestly believe there
is a field here for two water systems,
why have they held back from getting
a franchise and going into the bust
ness? Maybe it is patriotism Maybe
they are too public spirited to take the
profits which they consider the whole
community should have?
Should The Republican urge these
men to form another company and go
into the water business, and should We
insist that they mortgage their prop
erty wherewith to obtain the money
for the enterprise, they would consider
us very impertinent.
Yet, they are usnig every form of
persuasion and pressure to induce citi-
zens to vote a blanket mortgage upon
themselves.
And they can't get away from the
fact that they are urging the taxpayers
to go into an enterprise which would
not pay private corporation and
which must inevitably entail "A loss of
at least $4,000 a year which the tax
PAYERS must make UP from their own
pockets.

TROUBLE WITHE THE GUARD.

1t is gratifying to note that the
Army and Navy Journal is overcoming
the natural feeling of delicacy that re-
strains representatives of the regular
army from emphatically calling atten-
ton to the plain truth that, ''reorgan .
ize' the national guard as you will you
cannot make it the equivalent Of en-
equal number of regular troops in the
military establishment of the United
States. The trouble with the national
guard is not a question of equipment.
discipline or military efficiency. How
ever capable a fighting force it may be-
come, it will remain a state force and
not a national force. It's members win
be no more subject to the orders of the
president than other able bodied citi-
zens of military age. and under no
more stringent legal obligation to vol
unteer into the national service in
case of need. The word national" in
the title of the national guard is mean
ingless. Forgetfulness of these facts
has, to quote the words of the Army
and Navy Journal, cursed the country
with an inadequate military force from
the days of Washington till now

Facts That Permit No Dispute.

If there would be such a profit in
operating two water systems in Phoe-
nix. why is it that the bondholdcrs of
the Phoenix Water company ovcrIooA
the bonanza which that company ought
to have in operating without corapeti-
ton? Way don't these bond..olccr5 IN
sist upon getting the interest upon
their bonds? If the company were get
ting any revenue above the cost of OPP
Grafton wouldn't the bondholders in
aist upon the application of this, rev
cnue to their interest? Aad il the inter
est wasn't paid wouldn't they foreclose
on the property forthwith, get control
of it. and divert all the golden stream
into their own Golfers? Is it supposed
by sane men that bond-buyers are so
sense!ess as to permit debtors to stand
them off when there is any show to
collect anything?
The bonds of the Phoenix Water
company are kicking about in the
financial markets, selling at any old
price-there is practically no market
for them.
There are in this country thousands
upon thousands of shrewd capitalists
who are on the outlook for bargains
If there was bargain in Phoenix
Water company bonds, these shrewd
men would BUY them and demand the
payment of interest. And failure to
pay interest when the company was
able to pay would bring on a foreclos-
ure of the mortgage at once.
The truth is that the Phoenix Water
company has had a precarious exist
ence when paying no interest except
that upon Hhe original debt of 100000
and paying simply the operating ex-
penses. AS to operating expenses. Paul
Brizard of the Phoenix Wood and Coal
company informs The Republican that
the fuel bills. paid to him by the
waterworks plant for years have aver
aged $1,000 a month-S12.0 900 a year.
The truth is that group of the
present bondholders. realizing that
their investment is worthless as it
stands. and hoping that Phoenix will
grow to proportions which will yield
a better revenue. decided some months
ago to completely reconstruct the
plant.
And they are engaged in an enter
prise from which the average investor
would shrink.
And in the face Of these incontro-
vertible facts. junta of municipal
ownership enthusiasts insists that
while single plant cannot be made
