Lesson wrote. private capital Is invest
ed in public enterprises with the ex-
p~ectation OF I to s per cent, and often
q greater return upon the investment,
This, OF course. the public is expected
to pay while the government can hor-
row money at Az per cent. The public,
however, pays the charge in either
event. The difference between ~ per
cent and 3 per cent for the money In
vested in the wire systems OF the United
States would maintain and pay for
the property in IS years and p months.
The government as owner would no
more expect to charge for interest on the
investment than 1t would for money
invested in postal facilities, navy yards
or other public property
AS justification for the permanent
taking over OF the wire systems, Burle-
son said:
ITO establish and maintain commu-
niCation is as much the function OF the
government as Is the provision for ma
tional defense. Moreover 1t is es-

vantages Of private initiative In re-

graph properties will automatically re-

nation by the president of a state Of
peace, the letter says that many Of the
Independent companies could not take
back the properties without serious loss
to the investors and great detriment
to the service. Many Of these compa-
MES, the letter says, were operating at
a loss owing TO the waste incident to
competition and diversity Of state regu-
Iation, and as proper depreciation funds
have not been set aside, the properties
were drifting into a condition where
proper public service could not be rem
dered.

Two years ago be had become SO

interest OF a state highway bonding
scheme In which the Lemhi people
were greatly interested Pipes had

Ramey voting nay, that the assess
ment of s17,s62.63, representing the
value of the capital stock and the
surplus of the Sid Pioneer Bank q

Pipes maintained that the farHi

of fact il was acquired, as stated

II was no reflection upon the hon

A Richmond paper. which publishes
extracts from its files of fifty years

commission as first lieutenant, United

over, but the military still exercised
authority, although in limited sense.
The Freedmen's Bureau was in opera

these sources OF employment were
brought to close. and most OF. the
negroes who had come here from
nearby points in Virginia found them

able influence in bringing victory to
the Allies; but the feeling of the men
who are fond of the President and
who have the courage to tell corres-
pondents how they feel is that he
treated the American people with in
difference when he failed in his first

The revolt inside the Democratic
party is not of recent origin. 1t has
been growing for several months, and
may explain the lukewarm activity
of many Democratic national commit
teemen in the recent election, many
Of whom felt large part of the Re-
publican criticism of the record of the
Democratic Congress was absolutely
true, and that it was useless to try to
make the people think otherwise.
Mr.. Wilson is considering the ap-
pointment of peace delegates. Some
of the names mentioned have ranked
in the minds of disinterested friends
who want to see America represented
by broad-minded and able men, in
stead Of the same type of provincial
ism which has caused dissatisfaction
throughout the country before. Presi-
dent Wilson may not know it, but
the morale of his friends is at low
ebb. There is no one but himself on
whom responsibility can be placed,
and no one but himself who can re-
store the confidence of the people in
him at time when he must needs tell
European statesmen, skilled in the
bargaining methods of the Old World
diplomats, that he speaks for united
America, which doesn't want to see
selfishness supersede spirit of JUS
tice at the peace table, and is partic-
ularly anxious that the sacrifices
America has made shall not have
been made in vain.
