SPECTATORS HIT.

A New Hampshire newspaper calls
attention to the statement recently
made in commercial journal that the
apple spectators have overshot their
mark in boarding away apples for
high price, and that the present spring
finds them with 100000 barrels in
storage and rapidly declining mar
ket. The prospect is that the storage
spectators will lose large sum on
their investment" Such news will
not bring tears Of sorrow to the eyes
Of the consumer who is compelled to
pay exorbitant prices for products
controlled by means Of cold storage.
Neither will there be any great sym
pathy wasted on the interests which
lately saw the egg market take fear
full slump while their storage houses
were filled with this product.
Cold storage is q beneficent thing
in itself, but like many other good
things it has been perverted into a
means for the gain Of the few and
the exploitation of the many. 1t is
apparent that the governments efforts
to circumvent monopolists by anti
trust laws and railroad regulations
must sooner or later be strengthened
by reasonable measures to prevent
the abuse of cold storage So import
ant and necessary feature of mod
ern living should be utilized to pro-
mote the interests of the consumer,
rather than to rob him.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-03-17

The press of the United States con-
trolled by lingo influences and bitterly
opposed to President Wilson's policy
of preserving peace with Mexico and
all the world and the politicians who
are aiding those newspapers by word
of mouth and by intrigue, are hoping
and praying if they ever pray that
the punitive expedition" into Mexico
in pursuit of villa will be unsuccess
full and that circumstances will arise
that will force this country into inter-
yention in Mexican affairs resulting in
war. There are no reasons under eX-
listing relations with the Mexican gov
eminent that the punitive pursuit of
the Villa bandits will result in inter
veption. But there is possibility that
the unpatriotic newspapers and citi-
zens who want intervention may sue
coed in creating conditions that will
necessitate this country resorting I'd
intervention.
President Wilson's purpose is to
avoid Intervention in the affairs OF
Mexico. He has made it clear that he
will do everything possible to avoid
war with Mexico, and that his only de-
sire in pursuing Villa and his bandit
gang into Mexican territory is to Sc
cure the peace of Mexico and Of the
United States, which further depreda-

NOT INTERVENTION

tons of the Villa bandits might en-
danger.
The fact that Carranza appears to
understand the situation and that Mex
lean citizens, wherever heard from,
are expressing no opposition to the
punitive expedition" furnish evidence,
if any was lacking, that they approve
of President Wilson's policy.
Every patriotic citizen of the United
States should frown upon the efforts
of certain newspapers and lingo poll
ticians to embroil this country in war
with Mexico. There is no need for in
teryening in that country's affairs.
There is no intention of doing so. If
there is any law that could prevent
the publication of the infamous lies
that are printed by sensation mongers
for the purpose of misrepresenting the
policies, purposes and aims of the two
governments it should be enforced.
At any rate, the public ought to dis
courage and condemn the use of sensa-
tional Misrepresentation and sustain
the president and the departments Of
the government in their efforts to pre-
serve peace.
Republican and democratic news
papers alike should enter in the COM
mon cause Of discouraging the move
ment that is now on foot to bring about
hostilties between the United States
and Mexico

wheat vessels leaving Puget sound

OPERATED AS RAILROAD.

The Pennsylvania railroad is pre-
pairing TO celebrate its 10th anniver-
sary on April 13, and a recent review
of its career brings out the fact that
the Pennsylvania is one railway which
has never failed to pay an annual div
idend on its stock. Another feature
worth emphasizing in regard to the
Pennsylvania is the splendid record it
has made in the matter Of safety; for
the past two years its immense pas
senger traffic has been handled with
a minimum of accidents and maxi
mum of safety to both patrons and
employees.
The reason that the Pennsylvania
is able to present such an enviable
record, financially and otherwise, is to
be found in the fact that it has been
operated as a railroad and not as an
adjunct TO Wall street brokerage
Office or Wall street bank. The
Pennsylvania has been subjected to
the same Regulations" and ''restric-
tons" as the other carriers Of the
United States; it has been obliged to
observe the same rulings and laws as
the others. While such systems as the
Frisco, the New Haven, the Alton and
the Rock Island have been made the
football of financial pirates, the Penn
sylvania has gone ahead performing
its services as a railroad. The result
is that while regulation" and Ere
strictions" have ruined" these sys-
tens, the Pennsylvania finds itself
going along for 70 years without miss
ing an annual dividend and serving as
a model of efficient operation.
A comparison Of such railroads as
the Pennsylvania, the Burlington and
the Santa Fe with some of the systems
that have recently figured in the civil
and criminal courts is another re-
hinder that the most strenuous objec-
tor to regulatory laws is usually the
person whose operations will not bear
watching.

MISSISSIPPI FLOODS.

The United States senate has passed
bill appropriating 100000 for the
relief of the sufferers from recent
foods in the Mississippi valley.
Millions Of dollars have been ex-
pended in other years for the same
purpose. Scores of millions have been
spent in making the Mississippi navi-
gable. But now, for the first time, con-
gress shows signs Of getting down to
business and striking at the root of
the evil through the establishment of
a Committee on flood control" by the
house of representatives. 1t is urged,
very properly, that the control OF Mis-
sissippi and Ohio river foods should
be made a separate national project,
like the building Of the Panama canal
or the Alaskan railroad"

TRAINS TO CUBA.

Through train service between
points in this country and Cuba was
inaugurated a few days ago, says an
exchange, when a train load of sugar
left Cuban plantations direct for
Philadelphia. The train Of % cars
was taken aboard the new car ferry re-
Gently installed by the Florida East
Coast line to play between Key West
and Havana, and transported to the
Florida terminus. From there it was
hauled over our railways to Philadel-
phia, where it arrived few days ago.
We have heard from time to time OF
the dream of through train service
between New York and Paris. That
does not seem to the eyes OF a for
ward looking newspaper editor so Wis
ionary now as the suggestion of Chi
cago 10 Havana train would have
been considered a few years ago.
The water trip from Havana to Key
West was made in six hours and is
almost exactly twice as long as the
Bering Straits stretch between Cape
Prince of Wales in Alaska and East
Cape in Siberia
1t is not at all beyond the range of
possibilities that the railway systems
Russia is building In Siberia and
those this country and Canada are
constructing In Alaska and the
Canadian northwest may be linked by
car ferry across Boring Strait be-
fore many more years. There is no
physical or engineering problem in
the way Of such an accomplishment.
But 1t might not appeal as a practical
business proposition.

sent it by her maid, an Austrian. who
was Of great benefit to me. sha
brought me the clothes in the middIo
OF the night and gave me a letter to
her people in Vienna, stating that
was a friend Of hers who was going N
Austria to seek a position az ladies',
maid. She also brought me a woman's
passport.
In the morning. dressed as a girl
left my room. On the opposite side Of
the street a man was lounging and
did not doubt that be was WATCHING
the house for me. He seemed not a
bit suspicious Of my being a woman
but l thought 1t best to meander for
awhile through the streets before going
to the station.
I had no adventure between Berlin
and Vienna, though during the day A
man passed through the train, scruti.
nizing the passengers. But he must
have been looking for a man. At any
rate, he paid little heed to me, and as
soon as he had gone I breathed freely
again. I have no doubt as soon a, l
was missed from my rooms every
train that had left Berlin after mid.
night was scrutinized.
When l left Germany and crossed
the Austrian border l felt very nery.
GUS until after my passport had been
examined; then l felt that | bad a
chance for success. Nevertheless there
was plenty Of espionage in Austria.
and I would not feel out Of the woods

where I hoped to find a steamer at
Genoa sailing for America.

ment clerk fallen In love with me.
This drove me out, and I made for
Genoa and escaped to the land where
nobody is watched.
My cousin never learned whether she
was suspected Of giving me the gov
eminent secret. She never even heard
that had eluded my followers except
from myself, though when l wrote her
from home l dare not mention my
fight. Soon after the episode her hus-
band was removed to a department Of
the government where there were no
secrets that he could tell his wife.
1t was evident that my cousin had
been suspected of giving me the Sc
cret. Doubtless the government, hav-
ing proof against her, preferred to pre-
vent her shining again without accus-
ing her.
