GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF A HOTEL

At Lakewood, N. j., there is a hotel property which has
been much in print recently. The government had use for 1T
and rented it from the owners, paying a rental OF fifty thou
sand a year. The valuation that had been placed upon the
property was $8O,OOO, and it is still held at that valuation by
the owners, and they are now resisting an attempted increase
of valuation for purposes of taxation. For taxes it is worth
only $8OOOO, but for rental to the government was worth over
$4,000, for capitalized at six per cent that is what the gov
eminent held it to be worth when it paid $4,000 a year. But
might it not be we'll to inquire who made that contract for
the governments? Was he a fool or was he a tool OF the
owners who were seeking to profiteer? Or was he just reck-
less with the governments money, as too many others have
been?
How much brains did it take to pay $4,000, where a
private person might have rented the property for a paltry
five thousand? Did the government have fools making con-
tracts for it, or did it have corrupt men? In the case of that
hotel, which is now figuring in tax fights, it must have been
a man of either one type or the other who made the contract.
And is not that hotel only a sample case? We have the cour-
age TO conscript flesh and blood and pay for it at the rate of
$50 a month and subsistence, but when it came to conscript-
ing property the government was often held up at the rate of
ten to one. and that lakewood, New Jersey, hotel will serve
merely as an Illustration of this truism. And that is why
we hai TO buy so many Liberty bonds and War Savings
stamps.

ONE OF ROOsEvELTs LAST MESSAGES

One of the last articles that Colonel Roosevelt wrote had
80 do with our attitued toward naval disarmament on the part
OF England and military disarmament on. the part of France
and Italy. He treated the navy as vital to England and the
armies to the other two nations. He hoped for them that they
would be able to lessen the burden of such ornaments, but
that would have to be determined by time and events and not
by the dictum of the United States, whose statesmen have
is not for us to say, said Roosevelt, what measures they shall
ideas of such things we would stand morally responsible for
the consequences to them, and we would have to supply In
their time of need what we have prevented them from supply
ing for themselves. In conclusion he said:
at is not the intention of America o tell Great Britain
what she should do with Ter navy. 1t is not the business eth
er.of America or England % tell France what she should do
with Ter army The plain American m sense OF tn sit
uation is that W should recognize u immense debt to the
British navy and the French army, and stand by Britain in
what she decides her vital needs demand, a far IS her navy is
concerned, and stand by France in the position IN taxes
as to what the situation demand o ia a her army is con-
cerned"
These words of the dead statesman were reprinted with
approval in the London Telegraph. In them the policy of
wisdom is laid down.
1t may also be added that the now dead ex-president
treated with scorn and contempt the bluff" uttered by Secre-
tary Daniels of the navy, to spend six hundred millions on the
American navy to make it outrival that of England, if Eng
land in the peace conference should refuse to accede to the
American demands. Such a bluff" which the secretary
England to terms, or to give our commissioners talking
a content for which he could find no expression.

Secretary Bakers suggestion that congress make Bliss
and March as well as Pershing permanent generals is meeting
with a great deal of opposition. 1t is argued that so many
first-grade generals will cheaper the distinction. And there
are some generals who did quite as much as either Bliss or
March, who were the men at either end of the ocean lines.
General Pershing, of course, is in a class by himself, for he
was the responsible commander of the biggest armies in the
history of the nation. Bliss and March were fine men in their
places, but their places were not so big as. that of Pershing.

The British reports show that squadrOns for bombing Ber-
lin were gotten in readiness three days before the signing of
the armistice, and it was the armistce, and that alone, which
saved some of the skulls in the German capital. Perhaps the
Germans had some inside information of what was coming
and that may account for the sudden surrendering. If there
is anything that a German civilian was afraid OF during the
war it was having done to him what Germans were doing to
others. The squealing along the Rhine about bombs from the
air can still be heard without an ear trumpet.

After thinking it all over, Henry Ford is going to try to
get the Michigan senatOrship. He now has plenty Of time
left to serve his country, having turned the presidency of his
plant over to his son, who, at the mature age of "a, is to re-
ceive, so they say, $4,000 a year as salary. If such a salary
were paid to a railroad president or even to the president of
the United States what a bowling there would be in the land.

at has got to be almost treason to criticise," complained
Senator Chamberlain the other day. The senator is one of
the democrats who have not at all times felt like acquiescing,
and that has brought them into some disfavor, a disfavor that
he must feel keenly.

A French writer, describing a certain battle, in which
Americans took a big part, calls attention to the fact thai
many of the Americans were from Wisconsin and bore Ger
man names, thus proving that the sons of Germans in Amer
lea were willing to fight for their new country. That is the
history of every battle in which Americans took part. The
boys with German names We're everywhere.

The Bolshevik troops have slackened their advance at
