GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
 OF TELEPHONES.
CFrom New York Times.)

(From New York Tines.)
 New York.-The Administration has thoughts of acquiring the express bus mess by furnishing competition which the companies will not be able to meet" The experiment seems in fair way to succeed, for the postmas- ter of New York city estimates that the postal parcels collections for the year for the United States will range between $20, ,O00,0 900 and $3O,O00, 900, the calculation being based the in crease of the city so far This easy money shows the way to further prof it's of the same sort, the happy thought being to "get controI't of long distance telephone communications in some way not exactly described; and use the telephones to get control of the tele- graph business in the way that the postal parcels will, it is asserted, give control of the express business. It is easy to assume success with the wire communications with the ex- press business, and thereafter it will be easy for the government to ac- qufre all sources of profit, and oper- ate everything for the people at cost, perhaps even for nothing.
 It won't be done because it can't be done. The nearer the approach to ap- parent success the severer the revu1- sion from proposals so immoral and uneconomic. A recent President of the United States, and ad istinguished teacher or SOc1aA sLQOra11Cys was unable to see any moral issue in the tariff until the common people showed it to him. The people, however, have learn ed that easy ways to wealth have something wrong about them.
 If the proposal were to provide eco- homie competition, and by superior efficiency to drive incompetent cor poratfons out of the express, telegraph, telephone, railway, and other under tahngs, not a word would be raised in their defence. They are conner ciaI enterprises, and must take the risks of their trades. But when the proposal is to throw the taxing and Iawmaking power into the scales against them in order to destroy the value of their property, it is unfair ito use a word which will be under stood by those who have followed modern economies. How grossly un- fair it would be appears from the methods by which the profits of the postal parcels business are reached. Of the $20 O00, 600 estimated profits the railways estimate that $17, ,000, ,0O0 are due them for unpaid services. That is none the less robbery because done name of government. Every receiv- CT of a postal parcel carried at the cost of railways whose services are not paid for is a receiver of stolen goods, and can relieve himself of his personal compIicity only by seeing that the cost of what he receives is paid to those who serve him. So far from warranting further experiments in the

same direction the postal parcels ser vice is an object lesson of the man ner in which the government should not do things that multitudes would like to see done if it were honest i, and possible to do them.
 The economic objections to govern ment operation of telegraphs and tele- phones are too numerous to rec1te. No one who has Knowledge of foreign pre- cedents can cite them in favor of i'm itation. Government telephone ser vice is bad, and it is costly There is no telephone service in the world so good as ours, and it is steadily be- ing cheapened. What would be the effect upon the increasing efficiency of tying up its developments with 8 national budget now showing a deficit? This is the rock on which foreign ser vices split They spend so much on armies and navies that they have no surpIuses for services of peace.
 In France there is one telephone for each I'll of the inhabitants. In the United States there is one for each 12. The French are envious of our telephone system, yet 1t is proposed that we shall adopt the French way. England took over the telegraph on promise of per cent. on the esti-
 mated cost. When the bargain was completed the cost was quadrupled,' and since then the capital investment has been doubled. Interest has never been earned, and sometimes not oper- ating expenses. It has been ca1cu- lated that the commercial loss of the transaction was $175, ,OOO, 900 some years ago. and that the current loss is $5,- GOO GOO annually Nevertheless the telephones have been taken over, and the experience is being repeated. The cost is rising above the estimates, and the complaints of deteriorating service are rising faster than the costs. Tn a recent budget Germany reduced the item from 45 900, 900 marks to 25,000, GOO marks Fancy limiting our tele- graph or telephone facilities because there was a deficit, as there is at the moment.
 There is nothing new about the gov ernment telegraph idea, and there is nothing good about it..

How to Destroy

BY A SPECIALIST

That the dandrufr germ Is respon-
sibie for nearly all the diseases to
which the scalp is heir. as well as for
badness and premature gray hair, is
well known fact. but when We
realize that 1t Is also indirectly re-
sponsible for many of the worst cases
of catarrh and consumption. we ap-
preciate the Importance OF any agent
that will destroy it's power. We are.
therefore. particularly pleased to
give herewith the prescription which
an eminent scientist states he has
found, after repeated tests. to COM
pleteiy destroy the dandruff germ in
from one to three applications. 1t
will also almost Immediately stop
falling hair and 1t has in numerous
cases produced new hair growth
after years of badness. This pre-
scription can be made up at home, or
any druggist will put ii UP for you:
ounces Bay Rum, ? ounces Lavona

thol Crystals. Mix thoroughly, and
after standing half an hour it is
ready for use. Apply night and morning. rub
bing 1t into the scalp with the finger tips. II

To-Kalon Perfume. which unites perfectly with
the other ingredients. While this preparation

she shook the drops from her eyes
I and drew in a full breath.
At the end of the pier a man was
bathing. She could see his dark head
at times above the crests of the
waves. She wondered what he could
possibly be doing. He seemed to be
splashing in a most unusual way.
Suddenly wild cry rang over the
water.
Help. Help. Cramp.'
One glance was enough. With
swift, powerful strokes Angela cleft
the heaving water. Something splen-
did seemed to rise up within her, and
she answer to the call like high
mett1ed horse to the touch of a
whip
She was nearing the pier and bore
inward lest the strong current
should sweep her against the piles.
She was getting nearer. "All
rightw she cried I'm comingt'
She was by his side. Here, rest
on my shoulder she said, "and I'll

But all he did was TO clutch fran
tically at her gown. He seemed to
have lost his senses.

But as he tugged and pulled with
out mercy, for the shadow of a sec
ond her hand met his, when with the
utmost dexterity she clasped her own
over it.
She got him to the steps more cas-
lily than she expected, and he pulled
himself up gasping for breath. and

dripping from her crimson gown and
running into little streams over her

So saying, she plunged gracefully
again into the sea. her noble looking
head looking smaller and smaller as
she neared the shore.
He smiled. a satisfied, complaisant
smile Il knew that would fetch her."
he said "Ive won my bet, and on the
last day, too. Cad, how superb she
looked.''
| He looked down and slowly un-
closed his hand, exposing to view--a
tiny pebble.
He muttered a savage oath. He
was done. With an angry frown he
looked once more toward the shore.
But Angela had disappeared.
Now, wonder how much she
iknew?' he said slowly.
