after his return home from Washing

her husband and the congressman
chatted. The husband asked Mr.. Ash

suggested that there must be much
about it very attractive.

AS the congressman was concluding
his remarks, his hostess entered the

One OF the great men of our times
is small-siZed. large-headed German,
Charles p. Steinmetz, chief consulting
engineer OF the General Electric Co,
and we take the liberty and pleasure
of stealing from the New York World
the following excerpts of a recent in
terview with him:
THE great electrical problem of to-
morrow in the United States is 10
cover the country with network of
power transmission lines, just as the
engineering problem Of the nineteenth
century was to cover it with a network
of railroads for the transportation of
materials.
ut is not q scientific problem; it is
an industrial problem. The fact is
that our knowledge of electricity has
run ahead of our use of ii. If no new
electrical discovery were made for ten
years all the electrical engineers in the
country would be kept busy putting
TO a practical use what we know al.
ready.
Look for moment at the progress
OF mankind from savagery TO bar
bavism. from barbarism TO mediaeval-
ism, from mediaevalism TO modernism,
and you viii see that up to within
fifty years every step in the advance
has depended upon some Improvement
ina the transportation of materials
we have solved the problem Of
transporting materials But civilization
requires a cheap and abundant supply
Of another factor in its activities-the
factor Of power. And it is electricity's
task TO furnish it. The problem OF
the transportation of power is the
problem of today
The electrical power could be coll
lected into a national network Of
trunk lines and measured 10y meter as
it came in from each sehbradng
source and as il went 10 a customer
or distributing station. A credit would
thus be established for each contrib
utor aud a charge made to every user.
The Development of q country

"A power So great as that which
would be represented 10y national

inUusted 10 the unrestricted control

lutely necessary that the people OF the

Is. and which are established in the
hearts and lives of millions wto have
no regular church connection.
II the denominations could get to-
gether on these essentials. with some
such unity as the Christian church
had in the early centuries, maybe they
could regain some Of the early
church's power. Certainly the merging
Of the 100 or more denominations into
a few would make a strong popular
appeal.
From practical business standpoint
such unifcation is particularly desir-
able There are too many church
buildings today, considering the use
made of them. The big city has its
hundreds or thousands OF churches.
the small town has it's dozen or more,
all half filled or a quarter filled for
a few hours a week. Many a village
supports four or five churches and
pastors. and of course does it poorly,
when il might support one fine, big,
efficient church and a well equipped
pastor i'm comfort and self-respect
Why not do it, since it is seldom deep
seated differences Of belief that plant
those four or five churches where one
should be, but rather the inertia Of
an established system.
The merger has actually started. 1t
is no uncommon thing in late years to
see two or three congregations of diff
ferent denominations pooling their
membership and resources. But there
is still a vast amount OF work TO be
done before the loose ends are oeN-
cred up and the waste Of duplication
is eliminated and religious work is
made genuinely effective.

PUBLICITY FOR BUSINESS.

Chairman CRY of the steel trust, ~
recent address. gave his unqualified
approval to publicity for big business,
basing his argument not merely on
duty but on sound policy.
COndemning the old "pubnc-be-
damned" attitude. he declares that
publicly has never done as much
harm as secrecy. The individual or
the corporation with a disposition TO
publish whatever facts were proper 10
be known has, without many excep-
tons. been treated justly. while those
who have been defiant. arrosant or Sc
cretive. have suffered"
All this is true. OF course AS Judge
Gary further remarked. whenever it
has come 10 a question of fair play for
any corporation. and the facts have
been put honestly before the public.
the public has patiently and fairly
heard and read all that the corpora
lions have had 10 say for themselves
and has registered its verdict In favor
of granting any deserved relief. This
has been clearly seen in the public in

"UNADJECTIvED AMERICANS"

The New York Staats-Zeitung,
which since the war started has been
more German than the newspapers of
Berlin. recently began indicating it's
hostility to the allies credit loan by
printing within a heavy mourning bor-
der the names of banking firms with
German names subscribing 10 the
loan. One of the firms so stigmatised
was ]. and w. Seligman & Co. OF
New York city.
The company thereupon wrote the
Staats-zeitung a letter in which it re-
marked that such bankers were try
ing to- render a disinterested service
to their country by helping to keep
its industries going through credits to
its foreign customers" and added:
I'VE are not Germans, nor yet Ger
man-Americans, but we are unquali-
fed. unadjectived Americans"

DOOMED COTTON. ANYHOW.

A bit OF information not generally
known has leaked out at Austin.
Texas. y short time ago. just before
the German government made a prop
osition through Hoke Smith to buy
American cotton. with which offer the
public is familiar, the details having
been published by the Georgia senator.
the German government offered to buy
through the Texas warehouse commits
sion. 100000 bales OF cotton at Il
cents. three cents above the market
price at that time. The condition
which the German government inn
posed was that the state Of Texas
guarantee delivery at Bremen.
After due reelection and consulta-
ton with Washington. Gov. Ferguson
refused his consent 70 aforesaid con-
dition, hence the deal fell through.
Though probably strictly legitimate
on Germany's part this suacks of a
clever plan to secure cotton or elss
involve this country and England by
taking advantage Of the distress of the
Texas farmers. At about that time
twelve cents looked mighty good TO
Texas cotton growers. However, it
was probably fortunate for them that
the purchase failed. Cotton in Texas
is now IL 1-2 cents and no risk.
The news Of the German offer, how
ever. caused the price OF cotton to
start upward. it is said. in Texas
