No "Water" in
Bell Telephone Stock

Even the most radical enemies Of "big bust
ness" admit that there is no water" in Bell
Telephone stock The Bell organization last
year paid less than a go dividend on actual
physical valuation of the property.
In recent speech in New York, Congressman
Lewis, of Maryland, in advocating government
ownership of telephones, said:
''Be it said for the Bell System, that it is the
one great corporation in our country that has
not issued tons Of counterfeit capital It's stock
and bonds today represent the actual contribu-
tions OF its shareholders in money to great
common enterprise, and we will not have that
unfortunate circumstance to deal with in the
valuation of their properties
Private enterprise and initiative have made
American telephone service the cheapest and
most efficient service in the world.

The Presidents Great Grief.

However much we may disagree
with President Wilson in regard TO
political policies, our sympathy goes
out to him as a man of great mind
and heart in an hour of deep trouble.
Heaped upon the weight of his official
cares is the death Of Mrs. Wilson. His
anxieties because of national difficult
ties and international complications
are overtopped by the shock of the
loss of his faithful helpmate. the first
lady of the land"
A nation is touched by the mind
picture of its President writing far
reaching proclamations upon the af-
fairs of all the people at the bedside of
his dying wife. And a nation bows
its head in respect and silent sympa-
thy.

dents has been a source Of constant
pride and inspiration to the people.
In the White House love and tender
ness and unfaltering loyalty have pre-
vailed g.

Another Chance to Prosecute.


One thing our present virtuous and
confidence breeding government is
bound to do is to suppress combina-
tons in restraint of trade, and the as
sumption is that it carries this brave
sentiment outside Of tho limits OF New
England. A dispatch from Atlanta
says that the cotton men of the South
are to have a mass meeting tc adopt
measures to protect the price of cot
ton" What is this but fragrant at
tempt to interfere with the free cur
rent of unrestrained trade? 1t strikes
us that the viGlant watch dogs OF
Washington ought to get on the trail
of these malefactors forthwith.
Protect is an unpopular word,
anyway, among democratic statesmen.
and protecting a price ought to be the
contamination of commercial and H.
nanclal immortality. If the price OF
cotton is protected" successfully that
means that every poor consumer OF
that essential article must pay more
and that the natural subsistence OF
the price. so desirable for all consum-
ers, is to be prevented. We venture to
express our sympathies with the cot
ton men; they are doing what is quite
natural. But their defiance OF the law
and what is worse, Of the administra-
ton is astonishing, not to say brazen.

Not for Special interests.

Democratic headlines this week say
that Congress is for the People
Against Special interests" This Is
true if correctly interpreted: Con-
gress If FOR the people. but just now
the people are not using what is FOR
them. Umbrellas are FOR rain, but
one is often caught in a shower when
ones umbrellas is at home in the
closet. Congress is plainly against
the Special interests; this is not to
be denied. Congress is against the
general and special interests of the
business men In the United States,
against the general and special in
terests of the workingmen, against
the interests Of the farmers, against
the general and special interests of
everyone who is manufacturing, en-
ploying, or filling the SOIL And if
anywhere in the country Congress can
find a man or company that has been
successful in its business and thereby
obtained fair measure of wealth. 1t
at once sets about legislation intend
ed to break up the business and in so
doing add chapter to its history of
war against Special interests" The
man or company without interests is
lucky, for he may escape the damaging
attention of his countrymen In Con-
gress assembled.

No Strike in the West.
New York World.)


The pettiness of many domestic
quarrels is clearly revealed when dan
gers threaten from without. To the
patriotic good sense of the managers
of Western railroads no less than to
the wise and conciliatory appeals OF
President Wilson we are now indebted
for an accommodation which precludes
the possibility of a strike at this time.
In industry, as in international poll
tics, bluffing is carried to extremes.
Labor bluffs. Capital bluffs. By such
processes the fighting spirit is awak-
ened A railroad strike at this time
on the principal primary grain carry
ing lines would inflict losses upon the
American people that no victory by
employer or employees, no matter how
sweeping, could ever requite.
The arbitration that the Western
roads are now to enter upon as a ma
tional necessity should have been ac-
copied by them and their employees
long ago as a matter of pure reason.

Boy Scouts In War.
(Pittsburg Gazette Ttmes),

(Pittsburs Gazette Times.
English Boy Scouts are reported to be
on the qui vive as the result of the war
excitement looking forward to the pos
sibility of being called on for service, a
remote one, it is true. but none the less
stimulating to the Juvenile imagination.
They would be employed. of course, on
ly in the event of the invasion of Great
Britain by a hostile force, but the
fact that the Boy Scouts are regarded
as an actual part of Britain's military
establishment, although In an auxiliary
capacity in which real fighting would not
be required, illustrates the difference be-
tween the principles of their organiza-
ton abroad and in our own country.
Here the military idea has been dis
couraged. The boys go into camp. have
their hikes" are instructed in the tao
tics of scouts and the secrets of wood
craft, Injured to life in the open and I'M
dergo the discipline of soldiers, but the
intention is not to train potential war
riors, but rather develop the general
qualities upon which a healthy, intelli-
gent, fearless manhood depends. Thus
the boys are fitted for the duties and re-
sponsibilities of citizenship.
In England the Boy Scouts have much
the same training, but great stress is
laid upon those tactics which would be
useful in case of war Thus they spend
much time in practieing the science of
signaling. in constructing temporary
bridges and in rescue work akin to that
of the Red Cross. recent illustration
in one of the London Weekly papers de-
picts a German spy, walking in the sub
urbs on Saturday afternoon, diseoncert-
ed on viewing the soldierly activities of
the Boy Scouts and writing a telegram
to his superiors to suggest that war be
declared at once before these youthful
warriors get any bigger 1t was intend
ed to be humorous, but the Boy Scouts
take themselves very seriously and are
supported in their attitude by their COM
mander, Gen. Baden-Powell. who has al
ways insisted that in the event of inva-
sion England would find her trained
youths valuable adjunct TO the regu-
lar army and the territorial reserves
Being a small boy in England just now
has its compensations.
