Lew Riley, the jester of the Bridge. port Standard, offers this suggestion to settle the long-standing knock-fest be- tween Judd Lewis, the humorist of the Houston Post, and Rody McPhee, the funny man of the Springfield Union, who are eternally joshing each other on the score of their respective bald ness:
 Possibly John Rodemeyer, as major domo of the Bald-Head Club of Amer ica, might see fit to end this hair-pull- ing right now. Let him appoint un- biased mediators who will, once and for all, decide the official ranking of these two aspirants for the champeen baldest of the bald-heads. The war must not go onl''
 The suggestion is wise, and the con- troversy is referred to the standing committee on champeenship baldness, composed of President Orr, Tax Com missioner "Pa" Corbin, Coroner Sam Herman and Secretary Pope Chapman. Can Riley guarantee that Lewis and McPhee will abide by the finding of the committee, and stop their knock ing?

Against Government Ownership.

It is perhaps scarcely too high a claim that the American Telephone and Telegraph Company is the most important and best managed public utility corporation in the world; its aims have been publicly proclaimed on many occasions and it must be conceded that the company has resolutely set it. self to carry out such aims. And the present report sets out once more what may be styled a confession of faith on the part of the President, who, in pointing out that the opposition of the company to government operation and ownership is not based on pecuniary or partisan reasons, but is because of its interest ill the upbuilding of a great public utility and it's preservation, states that the company feels its obligation to the general public as strongly as to its in- vesting public, or its personal inter ests, and the recognition of its respon- sibility to. the public is as much part dends.
 Taking into consideration the aims of the company, the manner in which they have been carried out, and the kind of service that it renders to the American people, we cannot conceive that there should be any demand of consequence that the company should be taken out of the hands of those re- sponsible for it at the present time, and handed over to a government organiza- tionI which cannot in the nature of things work as efficiently and economi- cally as the company is at the present time. We can only recommend any such desirous of making a change to come over to this country and obtain a practical insight into the inefficient working of the telephone system under a Government Department New York Financial America.

The conditions which led up to the governments
recent action have existed for more than ten
years, but the state of Wyoming seemed unable
single handed, to cope with the situation. The
tenderhearted ranchmen of the Jackson Hole
country have helped to the full extent Of their
ability, feeding to the starving elk much
they could spare from their private stores of hay
and fodder without putting their own stock on ex
tremely short allowance But with all this, it Is
estimated that fully 5000 elk died of starvation
each year.
According to Mr.. S. N. Leck, prominent
ranchman of the Jackson Hole district and for
state senator, who has made special study
OF the conditions surrounding the elk in that part
of the country since 1903 about rs per cent of the
adult elk have persisted Of starvation each winter
