Why Do Seals Swallow ssonss2

No nature student seems Jet to have
discovered for what reason seals swal-
low stones, though the TACT il a well
established one. Certainly the stones
are not taken IN for ballast for the
empty seals keep down as easily as the
Others They are not swallowed for
the purpose OF grinding up food, for
they are found In the Stomachs OF
nursing pups. They are not taken IN
with the food because they are found
IN the stonachs Of both young seals
and Ia those that live In the open Sea
and feed on squid Yet It II evident
that these things are not swallowed
haphazard, but are selected with con-
Siderable care from the articles stTewn
along the shore, and that q preference
e exhibited for rounded objects. This
b shown BY the fact that as q rule.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

The extension of government regulation over the rates
and service of railroads is rapidly bringing about condi-
tion which will result in government ownerhsp Rates
being regulated to point where if the railroad is
successfully conducted the stockholders only
about the commercial rate of interest their money,
while if the road is carefully conducted the sockhoder
is left with diminished return all. So that
those favored government regulation instead of
townershp eay favoring step which leads
in sensible and conservative way to government
ship.
Chas S. Mellen, who has been given some sensation
al testimony the looting of the New Haven, and the
pubc), said in part about government ownership
"Men who honestly managing railroad corpora
tion for its stockholders would just manage for
the government They working for the salary and
the public service in either case and when the public
feels confident that their work is honest and patriotic
their position will be honorable and this honor will
pensate them more than their salaries.
'The cry against public ownership will vanish in the
air when the opportunity for making of the
Concession to speak, of the business is gone.
''In company with great many other men in big
business have long believed that public ownership

GOVERNMENT TELEPHONES

The time is not far distant when the federal govern
ment will take the telephone and telegraph system of
the country and operate them in connection with the post
Office When the government does take them Of
the first problems will be demand the part of the big
cities for evening up of rates-New York is paying
about $50 year for business phone. cities like ST.
Paul and Minneapolis pay about $780, while in small cities
like Morris the only $24 The people of the larger
cities think they abused and would make nsstent
demand the government to put the rates nearly
average basis, they are in England In London the
rate is only about $40 year in spite of the fact that the
cost of the service much higher than that London and
other great centers in England given this cheap rate
at the expense of the smaller towns.
The telephone business is peculiar because the cost Of
doing business increases in geometrica proposition while
the number of subscribers increases in only arhmetical
proportion. If exchange has only two subscribers,
only two calls possible if it has three subscribers,
six calls possible; if four subscribers, II calls
possible if five subscribers 20 calls possible and
AS large part of the expense of doing business is
proportonste the number of calls the for the
greater costs in large city easily be When
government ownership comes, the people of the small
towns should be awake to the possibility of unustly high
being fastened upon them of demand
of the cities for lower rates.
