MiSchief-Making by Mr.. Hayes.

a member of the House of Repre-
sentatives, coming to Washington in
his official capacity, has seen fit to
predict war between this country
and Japan within five years. He
does SO in the newspapers, in the
form of an interview given out as
he leaves the White House, after a
call on the President. He could
hardly have made the prophecy
more deliberate had he tried.
OF the likelihood of war it is not
needful now to speak. The question
raised by this Congressman is one
of taste and common sense. Is it
appropriate in an officer of our Gov
ernment publicly 10 propose and en-
phasize the possibility of war with
another government? Decidedly it
IS not.
This Representative is Everis
A. Hayes, of san Jose, Cal.-must
have known that his interview would
be at once translated and sent to
Japan. He must have known. also,
that it would be read by the most
progressive people of that nation,
and given an extra Importance be-
cause of his position in the Ameri-
can Congress. He must have known,
further, that the effect could only
be to prepare the minds of those
people for war. In brief, this inter
view is a fine example of interna-
tional misunderstanding.
1t is significant that the only
cause assigned by Mr.. Hayes for his
expectation is cause local to Cali
fornia. An issue similarly local to
California is now the sole difficulty
which exists between the two ma
tions. As Mr.. Hayes colleagues
weigh these two facts. he must not
be surprised to learn that neither
his States present situation with
relation to the japanese nor its fu-
ture has been aided by his impru-
denCe.

WALL STREET ANEO
BY THIS HONESTY
Guggenheim Syndicate Ac-
tually Give Patrons Fiji

NEW YORK. Dec. Through the &C
ton of the Guggenheim syndicate to
day in stepping into the breach and
assuming all losses on their deal IN
Nipissing Mining stock. 80 or more
PATRONS OF the Guggenheim firm VIII be
saved from individual losses. Inciden-
tally a new precedent Of business non
astv has been established IN Wall Street
transactions 1t is estimated that the
approximate cost to the Guggenhelm
syndicate. through its unprecedented
action, will be S15.O00,OO0
The Cuggenheim syndicate has re
fused to exercise an option on 40O'OVe
shares of Nipissing stock. The reim-
bursement of patrons interested IN the
deal in the stock was decided upon py
the firm in connection with this action.
In an interview a. member OF lhe syn
dicate explained the causes which iea
the Guggenheins to drop the Nipissing
deal About ten days ago It was stated
the syndicate requested the vendors 10
grant an extension of thirty days time
before making a second paymentaon the
option in order that the syndicate
might investigate the title to the prop
erty. The vendors were dilatory in re-
suonding to this demand. When it be-
came certain that the contract must be
abrogated or the second installment OF
s., 900 600 paid today, the former course
was decided upon.

they are buying new ones. And
they give testimony which fatty con-
tradiets the finding of the National
Civic Federation.
Thus, C. r. Bellamy, who is gem
eral manager of the Liverpool street
railway system, even calls attention
to the fact that it is Americans who
are always discovering that munich
pal ownership is discredited abroad
An ounce of fact, he says, is worth
a pound of opinion. Then he goes
on to cite proof that publicly owned
utilities in Liverpool are not only
giving excellent service and paying
splendid wages, but in the course of
several years experience have mate
rally reduced the cost of operation.
Similarly wrote James Dalrymple
to a citizen of Detroit, in discussing
proposition that that municipality
should renew certain costly fran
chises for the benefit of a private
corporation. This was only about
six weeks ago. Far from agreeing
with the National Civic Federation,
this gentleman called attention to
the danger of all franchise granting,
and vouched for the successful oper-
alton of the municipal system in
Glasgow.
