\ MAN OF INFLUENCE.

Joseph Fels gave the world some
thing besides a good soap. though il
was soap which made the gift pos
sible He furnished the example of
man who was willing TO spend his
money for the promotion of prin-
ciple which he believed 10 be correct
As a disciple of Henry George the
soap manufacturer carried the doc
trine of single tax to almost every
civilized country on the face of the
globe He not only preached and
taught il, but established institutions
for its propagation. 1t is estimated
that he spent 100000 year for the
advancement of his i, cas-.
Mr. Fels began his business career
as a travelling salesman for a toilet
soap manufacturer, and from his ia
nliliarity with the business and needs
OF the trade obtained the idea Of a
naptha soap. HIS father carried on
the business while he was travelling,
but it soon grew to such proportions
that he devoted his personal atten-
ton to it, amassing a considerable
fortune
\ selling branch was established in
England and Mr.. Fels spent a part of
each year there. Becoming interested
in the Henry George creed of single
tax he founded the Joseph FelS fund
Of America. To which he contributed
$4,000 annually and established sim
liar funds in many other countries. In
England he purchased 1900 acres at
Hollesley Bay TO form a labor colony
for the unemployed which since has
been taken over by the government.
and he also purchased 500 acres at
Maylands. Essex, which was put under
cultivation by small holders.
Another manifestation of Mr.. Fels
interest in social problems was the
support given by him 10 vacant lot
activities in Philadelphia and To the
single tax colonies at Mobile bay. Ala
and Arden. Del. He was a frequent
contributor To magazines and other
Z publications on the single tax and the

IT FORCED DOWN EMPRESS
RATES

Any educational campaign the post
office department may inaugurate for
the enlightenment of tine people on
the advantages of the parcel post
merits approval.
The people fought for three decades
before they could overcome the force
of one good argument against the
parcel post. To borrow the express
sion of one of the friends of the sys-
TEN, there was just one arguI7" Mt
the express companies.
The parcel post system is on trial,
with the express interests prescott
ieg the case against the respondent.
The postOtfice department must make
certain that all the evidence favor
able ~ the system is presented TO
the public as the supreme Judge.
Recently the express companies fur
nished a schedule of new rates
framed To compete with the parcel
post. \ stupendOus sum was eXpend-
ed in advertising the rates. Every
express wagon carries a banner an
nouncipg the cut in tariffs.
Whatever advertising the postal de-
partment can legitimately use should
be employed to let the people know
that heir own department is still do
ing an increasing business, ard that
il offers certain opportunities which
the private concerns cannot offer.
Postmaster NagePs campaign of
education among the business houses
of the city is a commendable action.
Besides all that. the express com
panies' rates would not have been
down if the poStOftice department
hadn't gone into the parcel post

are new. All are TO cover period OF
five years. Before that time rolls
around it is hoped to carry the prin-
ciple TO every civilized nation and
give the United states secure posses
sion OF the prestige it deserves as the
leader in the movement Go make the
first recourse TO reason rather than to
arms.
More than this the action of the
senate possessed peculiar significance
in its bearing on a different but relat-
ed subject. free canal tolls. The at
tempt of the subsidists to interpOlate
in the treaty with Great Britain the
policy of free tolls for American coast
wise vessels was summarily defeated
and the weakness Of that faction ex-
posed. Obviously the majority in the
senate regarded free tolls as not a
subject of arbitration but one which
has been determined by treaty.
1t is not unreasonable TO infer from
this that the temper of the senate is
opposed TO interference with the
terms Of existing treaties and that
whatever may have been done here
tofore in violation or disregard OF
their terms Will not be permitted tC
stand. When it comes TO the test il
is probable the senate will stand firm
Iy in support of Pres. Wilson's atti-
tude toward free tolls

has brought Indiana's senior senator
more prominently into view. Sen.
Shively. as acting chairman of the for
eien relations committee, directed the
policy followed in committee on the

INDIANA's ROAD EXPENDITURES.

stone road petitions asking for the
construction of modern highways in
dictate that the demand for road i'm
provements is not merely a transitory
spasm, but d splendid enthusiasm that
has pervaded every section of the
county. Clearly the residents of the
rural communities are determined to
keep full step with the cities and
towns in the march of progress.
In this connection it may be both
illuminating and surprising to learn
that more money is being expended
in Indiana for road work than for all
other activities of the state put to-
gether. Figures from all the records
of the state bureau Of statistics for
the year 1912, the last year for which
the complete details are yet avail
able, show roadway expenditure of
s13,7O7,3 during that year, while
the state auditors reports show that
for that year the tOtai gross disburse
ments of the state for all other pur-
poses were $40, 995.0OS.02
During the same year 1912 the peO-
pie of the state expended $3,ST6, SS1.43
on gravel road bonds taken up, So
Gil, 403.2S for new road construction.
S1,S02, 925.33 for repairs TO gravel
roads, and $33,326.9S in fees and sal
aries 10 road viewers. During the
same period the amount worked OUT
on township roads was S193T,40T.5S,
u
tailed $445, S65.46. When the year
1 1913 began there were township gravel
road bonds outstanding to the total of
! $27,S49, 262.26. and bridge bonds to the
amount of S1,429, 912.3S3. or a total
outstanding bonded Indebtedness for
/ roads and bridges Of something over
+ $29. 100000. During the year 1912
4 gravel road BONDS To the amount of
S3.S75, SS1.43 were paid. The annual
interest on outstanding bonds al the
/ average rate of 10 per cent footed
up to Sl,252, 205.55, and gravel road
/ bonds had been sold for future work
I TO the total OF s7.204, 926.65.
IL must be admitted that Indiana is
certainly spending some money on
\ roads. The state has something like
ESQ miles OF so-called improved
/ roads and $4,000 miles of what can
scarcely, by the most generous elias
/ ITCHY Of expression, be denOminated
as Improved. But we are doing
better at the rate of thirteen millions
of dollars a year. The chief need of
the present time, st is clear, is hardly
1 so much for the expenditure of more
/ money as for the very widest eXpendi-
ture Of the tremendous sum of money
that is already going into the high
ways Of the state.-Fort Wayne Senti-
