PRESS COMMENT.
Another Corporation Head Favors
Regulation.


Regulation.
It doesn't take extraordinary per-
spicacity to perceive a sign of the
times in the annual report of Mr..
Theodore N. Vail, president Of the
American Telegraph and Telephone
Company. The particular remark of
Mr.. Vail which the newspapers put
in their headlines was this: Public
control or regulation of public-ser-
vice corporations by permanent COM
missions has come, and come to
stay" The frank recognition of
this accomplished fact by the head
of such a big corporation is indeed
worth noting. But there is still more
candor-and more good sense-in
Mr.. Wallis observations. He does not
merely accept control by commits
sions; he welcomes it. He says:
Control or regulation exercised by
such a body has many advantages
over that exercised through regular
legislative bodies or committees. y
And he goes on to enumerate some
of those advantages. For instance,
the commissions are semi-judicial
bodies. AS they are permanent, their
members become experts. In course
of time their decisions make valu-
able body of precedents. In this way,
whatever advantages there are in
State ownership can be secured and
it's evils avoided.
This view of Mr.. Vail is based on
his belief that the big corporations
have also come to stay; that they
are going to get bigger; that COM
bination, not competition, is the thing
we have got henceforth to deal with.
Mr.. Vail accordingly takes his stand
against those who hold that the right
object of regulation is to restore
competition and keep it going. His
work in life has given him a first
hand knowledge of his subject which
can hardly be shared by many of the
advocates of the contrary view. If
he is right, then it seems pretty plain
that we are entered upon a new era
in both economics and politics.

'tPoIIy of the Circus at The Colonial
Friday April Fl.

A rising young preacher of exalted
reputation falls in love with young
and handsome circus rider in the
play "Polly of the Circus that will
be seen at The Colonial on April FL.
Two deacons of the young pastors
church raise all kinds of particular
trouble over the affair and the women
of the congregation storm in scandal
lied fashion, but you will sympathize
with the preacher and his love for
the little circus rider, and love her
too. "Polly of the Circus" is pro-
test against the ostracism of show
people by the churches. In this pro-
duction Frederic Thompson reaches
out beyond the footlights and taps
the conscience of the audience on it's
shrinking shoulders. This is the
same production that played one solid
year at the Liberty Theatre, New
York City. Watch for the street
parade.

the people confirmed them in those
powers. Thus far the people have
kept their pledge and deprived the
state of no powers they voluntarily
granted it. One of these powers or
duties was the election of the states,
representatives in the great national
council, the senate of the United
States. So the election of United States
senators by the legislature of the
state is something more than a f1c-
ton. 1t is right acknowledged by
the national government and also
pledged and confirmed by the people
themselves.
Why Rob Them of Power-We
certainly should not attempt at this
time to rob the state legislature of
any privilege so thoroughly granted
unless there is unquestionable evil
dence that another body can do the
work better than the legislature has
done. We maintain there is no one
else SO well qualified to perform this
duty. The vote of every member of
the state legislature for a United
States senator is declared before the
legislative department of the state
and is put on record. If he violates
any trust he must do it openly before
his constituents and his associates in
the legislature. No other body can
vote for a United States senator
under such solemn and carefully
guarded conditions In a popular
vote there would be no publicity and
no record of the individuals vote so
it would be easier for the individ-
ual voter to deliver purchased or
improperly Influenced vote than for
member of the state legislature to
do so. It cannot be successfully
claimed that the popular vote is less
susceptible to an improper use of
money than the vote of state legis-
lature. In Illinois where it is claim
ed the Office of United States senator
was purchased for Lorimer it is al
legged that a 100000 'tslush fund.-
paign for mayor in Chicago, an ap-
peal directly to the people of one
city, there was expended in behalf of
Prof. Merriam, the defeated reform
candidate, the sum of $23O,OOO. Let
anyone ask himself where money has
been used the most improperly and
freely in Vermont politics, for United
States senator's elected by the state
legislature or for governors elected
by the direct vote of the people and
he will be forced to admit that it is
where the people have been appeal
ed to directly. This will be found
generally true in other states. This
seems unquestioned evidence that to
rob the state Legislature of the right
to elect the senators and give it
directly to the people would be a step
towards greater dishonesty and ex-
pense. This is not desired nor is it
safe to do SO. The people have no
"holier than thou right to lay hands
on the present system of electing
United States senators. Other
reasons why they should not will be
given in future issues.

HORS Sc IS
VERY REMARKABLE
In the Rural Mail Service
Seven Years and Good
for Seven More.

RRICSGEPoRT. Dec. Smack is
the name Of remarkable saddle
horse owned by NJ. NJ Bartlett. rural
!etter carrier on route No. /. For
seven consecutive years Mack has
been a faithful servant OF Uncle Sam,
during which time he has not been
off duty except on national holidays
and during. his owners annual vaca-
ton of hf,een days
There are 313 working days in each
year: deduct ting from this number the
yearly vacation Of fifteen days and six
holidays, Mack has carried his mas
ter |, g44 trips over route No. /. The
length of the daily trip being approx
imateIy twenty miles. it is readily seen
that he has travelled a distance OF 3S.-
$50 miles. Mr.. Bartlett carries about
twenty-five pounds OF mail matter
daily. and a little figuring Ill disclose
the fact that he has carried 4S.50O
pounds OF lna!l on thI scharger durinS
the last seven years.
Mack is n bright bay geld!nE, six
teen hands high, weighs 1900 pounds
and is now about thirteen years old.
With the exception of the loss of his
right eye. he is sound as a dollar"
and shows no signs OF growing weary
of his long and continuous service in
the postofice department..
It IS often jocuIarly remarked by
patrons on Mr.. Bartlett's route that
Mack lost the sight of his eye by keep
ing too constant a lookout for the
little red flag on rural letter boxes.
and that with only one eye he could
make his daily trip without the aid of
his efficient rider.
Although Mack could doubtless
continue in the mail service for an
other period " seven years without
losing n UGH of his beauty and mettle.
we think Uncle sam should in the
near future place him on the super
animated list with full pay the re-
mairder of his days.

and None of 1t IN

There are numerous persons wh6
do not like the so-called popular,

little talent and genius to write pop

In the first place high brows never

at Atlantic City on their annual ten
dollar excursion, and in the second
place they are so concerned about tho
proper angle of elevation of their
eyebrows they have not time to be
amused or enjoy anything. It is the
ten, twenty, thirty chowd that have
money to spend and that do spend it
at home. All of the music in the Re
view of Reviews to be presented at
the EIks' club on the evenings CT

every songNis worthy of being called
a musical number, SO cleverly has ap-
propriate stage business been de-
vised for it. Each song is made to
tell a story of lis own, and they are
going to be popular in the fullest
sense of the world.

DEBTS ON PRIEST
MILL ARE TO BE
SETTLED AT once

The knowing ones claim that the
amounts owing to mechanics, la
borers and supply houses by the
Priest mill people at Manhattan
will be paid in full in few days
and the mill completed at once.
The plant, when finished, will be
modern in every respect. This is
good news to the people of Manhat-
tan, for that camp has been Sc
verely retarded in its mine pro
duction by the lack of milling fa-
cilities. The present production OF
the Pine Tree camp could accom-
modate an additional 60 stamps.
Each day new bodies of ere are
broken into and the lucky leasers
and owners must await their mill
turns. If Manhattan today had
100 stamps pounding away in the
camp many hundred thousand dol
lars would be the average monthly
bullion shipment.
