Still Dreaming Old Dreams of Brotherhood of Man, Declares Senator Reed
 of Missouri
By Associated Prsss

Washington. February 5.-Another address attacking the proposed league of nations was made in the Senate to- day by Senator Reed of Missouri, dem ocrat, who criticized the. plan as a witches cauldron" which might in volve the United States in untold for eign complications. He referred to the Bryan arbitration treaties, adding:
 While we were swinging incense to the god of peace. Germany was forg- ing her weapons for war
 To-day at Paris" Senator Reed de- clared, i've are dreaming the old dream of a supernation, a brotherhood of man, a common control of all the races of the world
 Referring to reports that the United States might participate in mandato- ries over Turkey. Senator Reed de- clared that imposition upon "the un- speakable Turk of American institu tions would be just as much viola tion of freedom as imposition of Turk ish institutions in@this country"
 Delay in making peace with the enemy was criticised by Senator Reed, who estimated that the loss by hold ing armies in the field at about $100,- 000,00 daily.
 "All are awaiting peace" he added And what is peace awaiting? Not the settlement of disputes with Ger many and Austria, not the conditions of this war but is dependent on 'glo- rious dreams that have to do with South Africa, the south sea islands and remotest quarters of the globe-condi- tions that cannot be accomplished In 10000. years"

Happily there is a government
agency today on the trail of the
stock sharp. It is the Federal Trade
Commission, empowered by Congress
to prevent unfair methods of compe-
tition in interstate commerce. The
commission may well be expected to
look upon the fleeing of Americans
of Liberty Bonds as decidedly "un-
fair"
If you own a Liberty Bond you'll
doubtless have an early call from one
of the pleasant representatives of
the sharper outfit. When you do, just
drop a postal to the Federal Trade
Commission at Washington and tell
them about that visit and send them
the attractive literature that is hand
ed you. Or, send it in to this paper
and we will forward it to Uncle Sans

smokeless powder a day. During the
war it delivered 90,OO0,000 pounds Of
smokeless cannon powder and 100000
900 pounds of INT. In November
when the war ended, it had a capacity
of 100000 pounds of cannon powder

month. It also delivered during the
war 100000 of other war

1t paid the government during the

Financial condition is excellent and
additional lines of profitable en-

substantial sum of money set aside
for the purpose.
Wilson & Co. made net profits in

ANNUAL REPORTS WHICH TELL
MUCH ABOUT BUSINESS.

American Telephone & Telegraph
has issued its annual report for 1918.
Final result was 1898 a share earned
on the stock, compared with 1888 in
1917. But it must be remembered
that the company is holding COM
pany and huge earnings of its sub
salaries are diverted to betterments,
or put into new properties every
year.
At the end of the year the Bell
system had in the United States TO-
992, 325 telephone stations, and in
additions there were 100000 sta
lions owned by Independent COM
panies. Miles of telephone wire 3d.
1850, of which "a per cent are
copper, and of which 670,663 miles
were added during the year. There
was an average of 100 calls per
annum over telephones on these lines
for every man, woman and child in
the United States; daily average of
calls was 1,045,000 at public stations
and 31,263,600 daily exchange con-
neetions, amounting to something like
10,750,000,000 calls in single year.
Additions to the plant and real
estate during the II months were
just under $78,000,000
The capital now amounts to ST.
731 ,405,163, of which a little more
than 100000 is in the hands of
the public.
The company has 112,420 stock
holders, an increase of 25,S21 during
the year; average number of shares
held is SO and a majority of the
shareholders are women. In addition
to these stockholders, $4,000 en-
ployes are paying for stock at the
rate of 81 per share per month, so
that there are really $4,000 actual
stockholders.
When the government contract was
made the company asked for $780,
422,700 annual compensation, and
was granted $65,148,641. During

ALL THE ARROGANCE HAS
DISAPPEARED.


Contrast the attitude of the rail
road men, when the Interstate Com
merce law was passed about quarter
of a century ago, and the arrogance
which characterized them, the con-
tempt for the law itself, and refusal
to comply with its provisions, with
the circular of President Hayden, of
Rock Island, to $4,000 of the com
pany's stock and bond holders, seek
ing their cooperation through Sena-
tors and Representatives to secure
Legislation which will return the
roads to their owners within 81
months after peace is declared. The
circular declares that such private
operation should be under efficient
regulation which should be construc-
tive. There should be amendments of
the Sherman Law to avoid wasteful
competition; Federal control over
rates and regulation should be in the
same hands as control over wages,
and the law should require that in
fixing rates wages be taken into ac-
counts.
Here is another radical departure
in which the circular declares the
Federal Government should have ex-
elusive jurisdiction over the issue of
securities as we'll as over rates, and
State regulation should apply only
to local matters.
1t properly maintains that owners
of railroad securities should have
representatives on the Federal
regulating body. Properly enough
the circular concludes that Govern
ment supervision should extend to
water and other. trade routes that
compete with the railroads.
The circular is one of the signs of
big. progress in this country and re-
veals a state of mind which should
make sound railroad Legislation COM
paratively easy to bring about. The
attitude is precisely that taken by
President Vail, of American Tele-
phone, by which he not only avoid
ed conflict with Federal and sub
ordinate governments, but made the
way easy for voluntary regulations
which We're in the interests of the
public, the government and the tele-
phone companies.

GOOD EXAMPLES OF
Proficiency.

A good illustration showing the in
fluence of a pure bred sire crossed
on native cows was seen at the recent
Arkansas Live Stock Show in a grade
Hereford steer exhibited by R. c..
Rose, Oceola, Ark, and in a grade
Shorthorn steer exhibited by the son
of O. w. Carlson, Bentonville, Ark.
While both steers were out of native
cows bred to registered sires, yet the
prepotency of the sires was so strong
that all characteristics of scrub stock
was eliminated in this cross, produc-
ing individuals of splendid beef type.
This is the second prize won by Mr..
Carlson. Mr.. Rose donated his prize
steer to the Arkansas Experiment
Station to be fed and exhibited at the
International Livestock Show, in
Chicago next December.

Westinghouse Manufacturing Co.,
agreeing to cooperate in conducting
business all over the world, Ameri-

rest of the world as the British
Westinghouse controls the French

come down as reduction in prices of
other commodities come down and, of
course, wages cannot come down
until cost of living does.
Director Clarkson, of the Council
of National Defense, comes out in a
statement announcing the personnel
of the Industrial Board of the
Department of Commerce, and says
that basic commodities, such as steel
textiles and food must be brought
down to a stable basis bring down
the cost of living.
AS soon as a stable and whole
some scale of prices is achieved, the
cost of living will have so far been
reduced as to create automatically
reductions in the price of labor
without interfering with American
standards and ideals for the treat
ment and living conditions of labor,
and thus the last initiating element
will have been withdrawn from
prices. 1t is believed that industry
will agree that the cost of living
must be substantially reduced before
labor should be asked to accept
lower wages and thus industry should
stand the first shock of readjust-
ment."

VITAL ISSUES OF COST OF
LIVING AND OF LABOR.

Mr.. Hoover, who probably knows
more about food than any other man
in the world, announces that he will
have to leave government service
after next July to learn living" and
further says that he does not think
the United States government would
lose any money because of its
guarantee of next years wheat crop.
This view, however, is not that en-
tertained by other economists, who
think there is wheat enough in the
world to bring the price down, and
with it other costs of living.

GET OFF THE SUCKER LIST!
Are you on the sucker list ?

y
If you are it is probably because
you are not sucker but patriotic
citizen who has known the Liberty
Bond to be good thing.
Get-rich-quick swindles have been
the great American sport for years.
The sharpers who sell fake stocks
saw their game endangered when
Uncle Sam started his great Liberty
Loan campaigns.
But they are smart-these gentle
men who live by their wits.
Instead of complaining they
jumped in and put themselves and
all their employees to work selling
Liberty Bonds.
And they kept lists of the names
of the people to whom the Liberty
Bonds were sold.
Now those lists, combined, make
what the sharks regard as the big
gest and best sucker list" the gentry
ever had. They are even dealing in
them-buying and selling them
among themselves.
If you have a Liberty Bond or a
book of War Savings Stamps you
are prospect for fake stock. Your
name is on the sucker list of the oily
tongued sharper
You are not to blame for being on
the sucker list, but it is up to you to
get off-away off-that list at your
first opportunity.
The American people are paying
out some half billion dolla.ys a year
to the support of worthless stock
schemes. They reap therefrom $780,
100000 worth of-'thin air.
That is not guess. 1t is the
figure given by the Capital Issues
Committee of the U. S. Treasury.
And, the committee assures us that
it is conservative.
Moreover, the half billion repre-
sents just the cold cash that is turn
ed in every year by otherwise level
headed Americans seeking a milk
and-honey path to quick wealth by
the green stock certificate route. 1t
does not take into account the vast
economic loss incident to broken
fortunes, impaired effort of dis
couraged investors and to the diver
sion from legitimate business enter
prise of new productive capital.
The Capital Issues Committee,
charged with keeping the nations in
vestment dollars on work-or-fght
basis during the war, has made a
searching inquiry into the devious
by-ways of fraudulent stock pro-
motion. It's conclusion is that never
perhaps in the history of the country
has wildcat investment practice
been so fragrant from coast to coast
las today.
AS a result of the governments
great war loan campaigns, there are
now hundreds of thousands of Ameri-
cans converted to the idea of saving
and investing. With very great
proportion, their investment ex-
perience is limited to the good, rock
bottom government war bond.
The fakir is after them. Thousands
of statesmen" carefully drilled in
the gentle art of SELLING on the first
call" and getting out of town, are
abroad.
They will tell you you We're a
patriot, a real citizen, to have bought
Liberty Bonds. However, you've made
