 ity in the electric industry. and in fact some who are identified with some of the copper mines of the far west are or the opinion that this is not the most fav- orable time to appeal in the money mar kets for funds which are needed for the development of properties of this kind. The time will come after capital has been accumulated in large amounts and after there is knowledge of the tariff legsla- tion which Congress presumably will pa ass and Furthermore, after business men are no longer timid about investments lest they make themselves liable to govern ment prosecution.
 It is this which some of the leaders
 have in mind when they say that not
 until our capital is invested upon large scale Tor the purpose of developing nat ural resources and of taking up new en-
 terprises of magnitude or improving and expanding some of these already organ-
 ized can it be said that the United States is upon the flood tide of prosperity.
 The public has only vague idea of the magnitude of some of the identification now in progress. Reports were brought to this city few days. ago which told of the substantial completion Of a good deal of the identification for which the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail- road company executed contracts three years ago with two of the large power companies of the far west. There was to be by the terms of this contract cleo trification of about 430 miles of the main track of the Pacific coast extension and that included that partsof the line which is operated over the Rocky mountain di- vision from point in Montana to Idaho. So rapidly has this work progressed that within two years 2so miles of this cleo trification have been completed and the railroad company, as well as the power companies, is now persuaded that within the next 12 months 200 miles more will be put in operation.
 It is deemed probable that the Great

Miss Cavell's Execution

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 After reading your editorials about the execution of Miss Cavell one would nat urally get the idea that the unfortunate woman was wantonly murdered without any reasonable cause whatsoever. As a fair-minded American and the supposed mouthpiece of the people, 1t seems incred- ible that editors should express a judg- ment upon this case, because anyone can readily see that you don't know any, thing about the case. only what you have heard of the very one-sided and unjust report of the enemies of Germany.
 If you would have taken time to read the report of the minister of the interior of Germany cannot understand how you could have written the way you did, as 1t seems to me that his word would go as far as the word of some English reporter or at least, as far as the report Of the man who tried to save the life of the Englishwoman, but did not do anything to save the live of the barbarian German women who were shot as spies in Franco
 If am not mistaken the very act has been committed on this side of the ocean, but, of course, the life or acts of the Englishwoman must be defended, no mat ter how many Germans she might have been instrumental in getting killed by helping prisoners escape, at the same time giving them dates and information of movements of German troops. etc.
 There is absolutely no doubt but that she had a fair trial and got what she rightfully deserved, no matter how cruel 1t might look on the surface. She put herself in mans place and there is no reason why she should not suffer the consequences. I cannot see why the life of a woman should be worth so much more than mans. and the very ones who don't even think that woman has a right to express a public or political opinion. are the ones who would lift them above the very zenith of humanity only English and to make the Germans look more like super-fends than civilized poo pie.
 There is no doubt in my mind-and ae

LETTERS TO EDITOR
From Another Angle

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: As the case of Dr. Edmonds has not
 oply been treated from its news value by The Age-Herald, but the opinions of various persons on the matters in volved have been given wide publicity in your columns I respectfully ask space to express the views of Catholic thereon.
 This is not from any desire to pro- yoke a needless controversy, but rath- CT to emphasize the material differ ence that exists between the Catholic and Protestant faith and which are so clearly revealed in the case of Dr. Ed monds.
 This difference may be briefly stated as recognition of and obedience to
 church authority on the part of the
 Catholic and individual interpretation
 of scripture and private judgment in religious teaching on the part of the Protestant.
 The Catholic yields loyal obedience
 to church dogma and authority, be- cause he recognizes such authority as divinely conferred and divinely protect ed hence there are no doctrinal doubts to disturb his religious equilibrium or other religious differences to harmonize with his belief.
 The Protestant rejects this infallible
 teacher and relies on his own private judgment instead and the result is seen in cases just like Dr. Edmonds. We
 find new sects springing up. "inde- pendent" churches being organized and "denominatfonal' differences existing
 throughout the Protestant world.
 It is the certainty of the Catholic
 belief that has brought that church down through the ages and which makes 1t the greatest religious organ
 ization in the world today. In the mind of well informed Cath
 ollie there Is no room for doubt as to
 the correctness of his belief, for he knows beyond the shadow of doubt
 that if there ever was such a being
 as Jesus Christ the Goldman, that He
 belongs to that church which He es- tablished when on earth. And Christ
 being divine could not possibly err in marking the pathway that mankind must travel on the road to their sal walton. N. F. THOMPSON

II Is sufficient 10 say that. in my

standing the increased fixed
charges we must pay. and the loss
