THE. OPEN CARS SERVE
AS POOR MANS AUTO

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
l am sorry that you did not include
in your ballot an opportunity for an ex-
preston on the subject of the open car,
the poor mans automobile
l think that open cars-REAL OPEN
cars like those which have been in use
on the Georgetown, Cabin John, Lincoln
Park Hne-should be used on all long
distance lines during the warm months.
These cars afford to many of our citi-
zens the only means of taking a Whit
OF country air L know of a number,
and doubtless there are many others,
who depend on the open car for a pleas
ure ride almost daily during the sum-
mer. But unless the car is open at the
sides-windowless-th sensation of be-
ing out in the air. close to nature Is
lost, and. OF course, by so much the
pleasure is diminished.
The cities with which I am acquaint-
ed at the North run open cars all sum-
mer. Shall a Southern city do less?

BANKERS AS UNDERWRITERS
OF UNIVERSAL PEACE.

Mr.. James Speyer proposes TO es
tablish and maintain peace by tho
simple process of having the worlds
bankers agree that they will not loan
money to countries that want to use
it for fighting.
1t would be simple enough if the
bankers owned all the money in their
vaults, and if the community were
willing to accept the guardianship OF
its financiers in all public affairs. Nei-
ther is true, and it is a good thing
that neither is true.
In times of peace we were wont to
decry war. In the abstract, people
pretty fully agree that war is hell
and very wickedly wasteful. But when
a particular war starts, it is about
the most popular institution known to
society. Patriotism may often be
blinded, perverted, and misguided; but
it remains the most powerful social
force.
The willingness of great financiers
to assume a blanket trusteeship for
the public veal has been profoundly,
and not altogether favorably, impress
ed on the public in recent time. That
sort of trusteeship has given us scan
dals in politics, and trust control of
our industries. Just at this time it is
not strong in the confidence of the
community. There will be grave mis-
giving about the proposal to turn
over to the masters of finance the
domination of national patriotic SEN
timent.
But even if it were safe to trust a
few financial geniuses with the deter
mination of peace and war, the plan
would hardly work. The bankers, af-
ter all, do not own the money. The
people own it. Suppose the United
States wanted TO fight, and the bank
ers refused TO furnish the money.
What would happen: The Government
would offer its bonds for sale through
the mediumship of popular loan. the
people, if they approved of the war,
would draw their money from the
banks, buy the bonds, and put their
Government in funds.
The rock of a peoples resources,
smitten by the sledge of patriotic ap-
peal, seldom fails to produce. There
are no more striking economic phe-
nomena than the demonstrations of
peoples capacity to sustain a continu
Gus draft on their producing capacity
that have been afforded by responses
to the demands of war. France and
Britain, during the Napoleonic strug
giles, repeatedly performed the seeming
in raising and maintaining
armies and fleets. Our own civil war
has shown what this nation could do.
Wars are financed out of the blood and
bone and devotion of the masses, not
out of the cold calculations OF fnan-
ciers.
War will become impossible just as
the people realize its uselessness. The
sooner the better. But when nations
want war, they will not ask their
financiers.

TIME TO INVESTIGATE
TELEPHONE CHARGES

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
L should like to see The Times take
up the matter of reducing the telephone
rates. which are an outrage. A phone
is put in at $3.50 per month. allowing
only thirty calls for the month. This
is s 1-3 cents a call, and in the meantime
IL you call from an outside station il
only costs you cents. There is some
thing wrong with such a system as this.
Il think 1t about time the Government
had better step in and secure for the
people moderate telephone system.

In the Sunday Times some one asks

utes, backed by a desire to use the
proposition in the political campaign
of last year. as it is known that the
first steps were taken to spring the
deal just about the close of the cam
paign. but this fell down by lack of
getting their testimony in shape in
time. Johnson in the primary cam
paign, and in the general election
following polled the largest vote of
any of the contestants for state
office, and his thousands of friends
over the state will be pleased with
the outcome of the present suit.
While probably the Youngest s.ttor-
ney general in the United States,
Mr.. Johnson is making good in that
department, as he did as the prose-
cutor for Hyde county when he was
serving in that capacity. The fact
that the entire court concurred in
the finding of Justice Corson in the
case is gratifying to Attorney Gen.
eral Johnson, and as the court re-
views the testimony and the laws
governing the case in full, they
show that there was no actual
formation for beginning the suit at
any time.
