the Bells before Edison put them in
practice The most curious fact about
the telephone system to those who
have travelled is that the American
Bells adopted for their trademark the
peculiarly shaped blue bell which their
punning ancestors used as the family
emblem. A figure exactly like the tele-
phone bells adorns all the tombstones
of the Bells buried in Lochmaben
churchyard in southwest Scotland. So
the members Of this amazing family
not only managed to put the tribal
badge on a huge modern industry. but
to beplaster the great United States
with blue bells of Scotland" 1t is not
by accident that blue is the color OF
the telephone bells. It Is to establish
and perpetuate punning connection
with the ancestral home of the inven-
tor. And now the amazing Bells have
again attacked the air and Its proper
ties. and say they will teach mankind
to fly. We believe they will.

HARBoR QUESTION

TT IS now believed by local officials
that the order of Assistant Secre-
- tary of War Oliver, which caused
excitement and comment by placing
the control of harbor development in
the hands of the Southern Pacific, may
have been due to misunderstanding
on the part of the under secretary. 1t
is hoped there will be no difficulty in
getting the order changed. Washington
certainly cannot plead ignorance of the
situation. By resolutions, kilograms
and protests the government has been
sentiment is overwhelmingly against
decision of the assistant secretary of
way which apparently would give
railroad corporation control of the inner
harbor. All the commercial and civic
bodies of the harbor cities and Los
Angeles united in an effort to induce
the government to instruct the chief of
engineers to proceed with the harbor
lines in accordance with the joint res
olution recently adopted by congress.
that railroad corporation shall not
have control of the harbor. The mari
time development of California will be
crippled by any restrictions put on her
harbor facilities, and her commercial
interests will be jeopardized. The at
titude of the Southern Pacific with re-
gard to harbor control, the action of the
Republican convention, and what looks
like an attempt to interpose between
the popular interests which demand a
free harbor and the free harbor which
they demand, must surely settle the
question of citizens duty in the cleo
ton. If his citizenship of California is
a reality to him, If he believes in
American liberty and the freedom of
the state from influences which fatten
on its commercial vitality and make of
its prosperity a prey, he must work
and vote for the Democracy, which In
this corporation ridden state is synony-
nous with liberty.

Commerce in our country breaks

along the line of the great lakes,
through the Mohawk valley to the val
ley of the Hudson and down that river
to New York. Hence the New York
of today. The traffic could not go to
Boston without crossing the Catskills,
nor could it go to Philadelphia without
expensive grades, so 1t went to New
York along the line Of least resistance.
Now Portland has precisely this same
ladvantage---it is down hill from every

NOT ENGLISH

FRFNCHMAN says he is surprised
n to find Americans today are not
Ia more English. He adds that II
George Washington were to arise from
the dead che would find himself much
more at home in London than New
York" This is possible, because George
was of English descent. His name Is
corruption of washington, derived from
waesing toun, which means (pardon
us. but it cannot be helped-not our
fault nothing more nor less than "taV-
ern." At some time In the family his
tory Washington's ancestors were coun-
try innkeepers in England. The sylla-
bile "wass" in wassail (waes haeD is
identical with the syllable Wash" in
washington. Therefore it cannot be
denied that the first American presi-
dent was of English origin. But there
is no foundation in fact for the assump-
ton of our French critic that America
was English, and 1.-The Americans who
reyolted 100 years ago were English"
Some of them were English, but many
others were Scotch and Irish, and in
the history Ol tllO OiiAISu DN"SNS 'iAS
Scotch Irishman has been q greater
figure than the Englishman. 1t Is
astounding to find some Americans who
are willing to vitiate even the history
of this country by a misuse of the
word English. We cannot blame a
French critic for having been befooled
into believing the first Americans were
English, because the word English has
been used in American books of history
and American newspapers in a manner
which creates a false and misleading
impression. We are not willing to
admit that Hamilton, Paul Jones and
Hickory Jackson were English. oh, mo-!
SIT won't do" If there is nothing
English about America except the Ian
guage, the Frenchman should not be
surprised. He has merely stumbled
upon a great truth. The language and
the whipping post are the only two
iistinctively English institutions which
have found permanent place under the
stars and Stripes. If our writers would
say British when they mean British,
scotch when they mean Scotch, Irish
when they mean Irish, and English
when they mean English, there would
he less chance that few centuries
hence the Americans may be Englished

RAILROAD OWNERSHIP

AN ARTICLE published in the May
n number OF the Van Norden Maya
IA zine. with a report of the Interstate
commerce commission for authority
says the railroads of the country are
owned, not by the public, as is gener-
ally supposed, but that nearly the ma
jority of the stock of all the companies
is held by other railroad companies than
those which issue 1t.
For the 216.so4 miles of railway OF the
country the capitalization is given at
SIS, 227, 196. 401, divided as follows:
Capital stock ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 1884, BASES
Funded debt ....................... ss42.se1 .47s
OF the bonds, 81 LAO, s6o,5o7 are held by
other railroad companies. What most
interests US. says the magazine
writer, is the fact that the rail-
roads s4,114, s51, $780, or almost one-half
of the total. To this immense owner
ship by other railroads must be added
the vast holdings of such corporations
as the Standard Oil company, the Unit
ed States Steel corporation, banks and
insurance companies, and the individu-
ais prominently connected with them.
who control them, and likewise control
the railroads, so that it is not improb-
able that at least three-fifths, IL not
two-thirds, of the capital stock OF the
railroad companies of the entire coun-
try is now absolutely controlled by
handful of capitalists. These men con-
stantly claim that there is no combina-
al 10, TIT 10 ~ 10 ~ T10n0n0lV
in their method of business, while in
reality the vast inland transportation
system of the country is in their grasp.
The advantage that these men have is
that the ownership is concentrated IN
the hands of small number of people,
while the minority which belongs to
the public is widely scattered, and en-
tirely helpless.
When the government attempts to
regulate the railroads, there is a great
hue and cry about the property of the
widows and orphans" being confis-
Gated, or its value impaired. The facts
brought out by the interstate commerce
commission show that the real widows
and orphans are the great railway
capitalists of the country who rule the
situation with power equal to that or
the autocrat of all the Russias.
AS an instance of the situation, the
New Jersey Central is largely owned
by the Reading. which in turn Is owned
by the Baltimore & Ohio and Lake
Shore. More than one-third Of the Bal
timore & Ohio is owned by the Pennsyl-
vania, and all OF the Lake Shore Is
owned by the New York Central. The
Pennsylvania also owns its extensive
western connections, while the New
York Central owns the control of the
Harlem, the Lake Shore. the c., c., c.
& l., the Michigan Central, the Canada
Southern, the Boston & Albany and
other roads. In many cases the roads
owned by other roads are not part OF
the latter's transportation system.
What stronger argument for restric-
ton and regulation by the government
of the transportation of the country can
be offered than the figures given us by
the interstate commerce commission?

SHACKLED REPUBLICANS

MATURE reflection and thorough
wi investigation do not improve the
AIA case of the Republican machine,
which rests under the grave charge of
having suppressed a resolution offered
by Lee Gates, in which the representa-
tive nature of republican government
was affirmed, and the Republican con-
vention was asked to declare itself to
be 'unalterably opposed to interference
in the politics of the state by the
Southern Pacific company" All good
citizens who, with Mr.. Gates in another
part of his suppressed resolution, hold
that this is the greatest evil influence
in the politics and public affairs of
California" must deplore the failure Of
the Republican party to proclaim its in
dependence of interests which In their
very nature are opposed to the best In
terests of California. Freedom is worth
having. 1t is worth fighting for. A

WONDERFUL BELLS

TROM the east comes the news of a
H successful aeroplane flight. 1t
Il looks as If aerial navigation were
about to be an accomplished fact, and
as if mankind were to become more
deeply indebted than ever to the Won
derful Bell family. Not much over one
hundred years ago the Bells Of Loeb
maben and the Scottish border retired
from the business of marrying the Eng
fish. In order to impress on them the
fact that the days of the raids and the
raiders were over and gone forever
they were told that gentlemen Of their
profession would be treated like COM
mon robbers. What subtle connection
there may be between scientific studies
and a long family career which inspired
dozens of famous Scottish ballads we
are at loss to guess. But when the
Bells could no longer ride and raid they
took up the investigation of acoustics.
One of the earliest results was by
product in the shape of a remarkable
work on scientific shorthand which ap-
peared in the earlier part of the nine
teenth century. The Bell system was
better than the Pitman, but the Pit
mans outadvertised the Bells, and,
being people of one idea, stuck to it..
The Bells, however. went from the
study of phonetics in relation to the
sounds Of the language and to short
hand to a study of sound itself. Re
moving to the United States, they pro-
duced a number OF devices for the
transmission of sound and for its
preservation and gave us incidentally
the telephone and monograph, the
first principles Of which were known to

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
FREE DEMOCRACY

TNVERY good citizen must realize
III, that the expressed sentiments of
- the Democratic state convention
with regard to the Southern Pacific
company's political debauchery of this
state are his sentiments also, and no
man who votes on conscience and honor
and with a regard for Americanism can
fan to give the Democratic party his
support. It is the party of freedom, the
party of principle, the party of honesty,
the party of independent citizenship.
In deploring the Southern Pacific Rail
way company's pernicious activity, the
fearless convention of the Independent
Democratic party did not beat about
the bush. 1t said: 1.-THE Southern Pa
cif1c railway corporation has debauched
public officials, corrupted legislators
and is in absolute control of the organ
ization of the party in power, which
party, year after year, shameiessly
submits to the control of its corporate
master.
1--WE denounce the state railroad COM
mission for it's subserviency to the
Southern Pacific and for its continued
refusal to enforce the constitution and
the laws. We declare that its pre-
tended investigation of such violation
of the laws, as was pointed out by the
Hon. Franklin K. Lane, is farcical IN
the extreme, that it was never begun IN
good faith and that it has not been
prosecuted with view to affording the
people relief from unjust and unfair
discrimination" The Republican ma
chine represents railroad interests. The
Democratic party represents citizens
interests. In giving his support to the
Democracy the good citizen will sup
port the cause which is his own.
