Bv W. V. BYARS.

When Sir Adam Beck is wound
up" for six hours, beginning at II
a. M, you may drop in at any time
before p. M, with the certainty
that you will find him saying some
thing it is worth your while to re-
member.
AS for example, at about noon
yesterday, he reached the point
where a few observations were per-
tinent on the gang Of high financial
experts, north and ,south of the
Canadian line, to whom war gives
opportunity for plundering the pub
lie under the pretense that they are
representing the loftiest variety Of
patriotism.
In war times, Abraham Lincoln
said, "every foul bird flies abroad
and every dirty reptile raises its
head" Sir Adam did not quote this,
but it seems to give expression, con-
densed, to his view of the men who
swarm around every war appropria-
tion and every opportunity for
grabbing during war what in peace
they had LETT the public of its prop
erty. Without recalling Lincoln's OBJ
servations, he gave his own expert
! ence and observations of what the
profiteers have been doing IN his
particular field-especially, perhaps,
around Niagara Falls.
He had reason to know of their
greed He would not say who they
are. Formidable in peace, they have
grown more formidable in war. They
are out after quick and easy
money" he said, and they let moth
ing stand in the way of getting 1t.
Sir Adam seemed to be very much
afraid they would get it before they
could be stopped on this side Of the
line.
He has stood in their way in On
tario, during the last ten years,
however, with such success that he
was invited I'd Washington to tell
about it He appeared yesterday
morning before the House Commit
tee on Hydro Electric Power, where
he was introduced as chairman OF
the hydro-electric commission OF
Ontario. 1t was in that connection
that he announced himself wound
up for six hours" lie did not run
down at all. On the subject Of elec-
tricity, and public utilities under
public ownership, it is not likely he
ever would. On the political, scien-
tifc, sociologic, economic, CONNER
cial, industrial and all other aspects
of the subject, he probably knows
more than any one else in North
America.
His remarks on high financial
thieves were entirely "germane" to
his testimony as a whole. All he
said comes under the general head
ing: How to stop a steal after the
most eminent supermen in any given
country have put over a Good Thing

With the rivers and harbors bill
before the House, a good part Of the
