Gambling on Government

AS result of the Steel strike, insurance
companies report 4 big increase in applications
especially risks due to riot and commotion.
The underwriters are betting freely at the usu-
al odds upon government, just as property
owners are refusing to take any chances in
that direction. We see the same thing in New
York, where, in view of numerous bond thefts,
surety companies are betting as never before
upon the honesty of employees and the activity
Of the police, the policy-holders taking the op-
posite position
The basis upon which risks amounting to
millions of dollars in the aggregate are thus
taken at comparatively cheap rates is to some
extent faith in government and faith in the
honesty of trusted individuals who are selected
with care, but in the main reflects confidence in
the people and in the average man. Most
strikers do not approve of riot, arson and pill
lage, and most men charged with valuables
do not yield to temptation.
Severe as are the losses that frequently
must be made good proof that men as rule
can be depended upon not to become rioters
or even thieves is found in the prosperity of
the companies that gamble upon humanity as
we'll as government.-New York World.

The World Language

When questioned in the French chamber as
10 the official language in the peace conference,
Premier Clemenceau said: 1T is not my fault
il two-thirds of the earth's population speak
English" The proportion named is larger than
that generally accepted, but It is not gong too
far to say that the English tongue has become
definitely paramount in the affairs OF the world
II has grown up from and out OF other leading
languages; it is the speech of the wealthiest ana
most powerful nations Add to such founda-
tion the copious fexibility OF English, ito posi-
ton everywhere on the front line OF advancing
civilization and in literature, and the reasons for
its leadership are clear. One Significant feature
in Germany's push for dominion was to scnooi
every German child in English. This was with
the expectation that English-speaking peoples
would concede Germany's primacy, or go into
partnership with it in the general readtustment
That dream Of empire has faded. 1t was at
best an insane deluson, and yet tor time
calamitous afaiction beyond precedent!
But there are some large gains, regardless OF
any that may be stipulated IN ., treaty. Milf
tarism, world menace, has besns smashed.
The policy of frightful force win mot be at

in International intercourse. One incident is
the now acknowledged lead of the English Ian

Sagacious first statesman. 1t has come to pass
n1A by prearrangement. but through sort of
cravisation among the nations. Artificial world

All liberty bonds are selling too low. The
government expenditures are decreasing gradu-
ally. The more they decrease the more bonds

that at times there will be Developments in the
market which will find reflection III decline

sure a. anything can be on earth that these
soft spots will be temporary only and that
steadily and surely the tendency will be to

The more the government buys the smaller

1t will be years before this buying has . pro-
nounccd effect for the amount outstanding is
colossal, but it is declining.
From a speculative and investment view
point liberty bonds offer magnificent oppor-
tunity to the public. The interest return is
good. The market value Of the bond is certain
to increase Within two or three years it is
probable that every issue will be at par. Then
the question will be as to how high they will

To the Letter Writers.

As 4 natural result Of the mob outbreak,
The Bee is in receipt Of small avalanche of
letters, some anonymous and others subscribed
with signatures, expressing all sorts Of views
upon the frightful occurrence and the moral to
be drawn. Many glorify the riot and the
1ynching as the vindication Of the unpunished
violation of women, Others condemn it in un-
measured terms as revival of savagery and
barbarism. Many berate the police for in
competency in failing to punish lawbreakers
and inefieiency for helplessly surrendering to
the mob instead Of forestalling it. Others seek
to excuse the fall-down of the police by ac-
cusing and abusing The Bee for exposing po-
lice defects and .excesses. Still others moralize
on the awiess spirit of the times, on I. w.
W.ism, on bolshevism, on race hatred, on
human snfulness and its retribution Obviously
it is impossible to give the space to print all
these communications even were they suitable
for publication. Too many of them plainly
show evidence Of being written in fervor, if
not rancor, or under the obsession Of the mo-
ment.
We want our readers to write to Us upon
just such topics, as through their letters we
keep in touch with the current of popular
thought, and we do not want them to feel that
our inability to devote space to them or to
acknowledge them Individually is due to- lack
of appreciation-of those that find fault as we'll
as of those that praise.

The LSY1coln Spirit

While opponents Of the League OF Nations
are accusing Great Britain of all sorts of selfish
schemes and declaring the league plan to be
merely an aid to England to help her keep
grip upon large portion Of the worlds surface,
the people OF England are giving evidence of
theit genuine democracy by honoring the one
great American who in the wbrld's thought the
most typihes it. Two statues of Abraham Lin
colin were made in competition for erection in
London, one by Saint Gaudens and the other
by George Gray Barnard. The committee Sc
lected the work Of Saint Gaudens. but later
Charles P. Taft offered the Barnard statue to
the city of Manchester and it was accepted
September IS it was unveiled and the address
of presentation was made by Alton B. Parker
1t means much in the relations of these two
great lish..speaking nations, now, and
probably for long time to come, the moral as
we'll as the physical leaders Of the world, that
the people Of England should understand and
honor such man as Abraham Lincoln If the
ideals for which Lincoln stood and labored>and
sacrificed all his life can become the ideals of
Great Britain as we'll as Of the United States
how can there ever be such lack of sympathetic
feeling as would make war possible between
them or would make their action in the League
OF Nations divergent on great principles? How
can they fail to impress those. principles upon
the rest of mankind?
A Lincoln world would be world of peace
and justice, Of kindly consideration by the
strong of the rights and the needs OF the weak
1t would be world of help to suppressed and
oppressed peoples to secure higher measure of
self-government, even complete independence
Of outside dictation, machinery for Which is
also supplied by the league. We would be in
far better business seeking to promote such
unity of feeling and influence for the benefit
of all mankind, including ourselves, than in op-
posing it and trying to "go it alone" in spirit
of national selfshness and contempt for the
needs and miseries of the rest Of the world

Their Kite Coming Down.

Events in North Dakota seem to signify
that the Utopia planned by the Nonpartisan
League is slow in development As usual in
such cases, the first weakness is shown in the
financial element of the structure. Examina-
ton of the affairs of the bank at Fargo, through
which the League has done its business, and
which has just been closed by the state, bank
ing board, shows signs of the same laxity in
business methods that have appeared in the
propaganda of the organization. Promises have
been dealt with on the basis -of performance,
postdated checks accepted as collateral for
loans, and generally the business of providing
funds for the Leagues activities has been man
aged in way that now threatens ruin. Farm
ers and others who are inclined to join the
Nonpartisan league or any other group that
promises to produce something for nothing
should reflect that finally everything must be
settled for, and it generally is the membership
that foots the bill in the end.

IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY.

The making Of steel was known
to the ancient Egyptians and
Assyrians.
The United States now produces
more than one-half Of all the steel
made.
The first recorded discovery Of
iron in America was In North Caro-
lima in 1886.
The first attempt to manufacture
iron in America was made In Vir-
ginia in 1919.
The hot blast process In iron man
ufacture was introduced In the
United States In the early thirties.
The direct process of making steel
by immersing malleable iron in a
bath of cast iron was discovered by
Reaumur in 1922.
The steel works at Joliet, ILL.,,
were the first in the United States
to roll steel rail direct, without re-
heating, from the ingot.
The first great entire steel bridge
In the world was that built by Gen.
William Sooy Smith across the Mis-
souri, river at Glasgow. Mo.
ss Under favorable conditions the
steel mills of the United States are
capable OF an aggregate production
Of 50,000,000 gross tons year.
The first successful furnace in
smelling iron ore with anthracite
into operation at Mauch Chunk, Pa,
in 1888.
The first notable strike In the
American iron and steel industry oc-
CURED in Pittsburgh in 1850, when
the workers employed in the mills
in that city and its vicinity went on
strike because of a reduction In
wages.
The great strike in the Carnegie
steel mills at Homestead in 1892.
one of the bitterest labor conflicts
In the history of American industry,
lasted five months, involved 10000
workers, and resulted in a wage loss
of over $2,000,000.
The first steel rails made in the
United States were produced by
Zoheth s. Durfee at Wyandotte,
Mich. in 1865. Two years later the
production Of rails on a commercial
scale was begun at Bessemer steel
plant in Troy, N. Y, and at the Cam
bria iron works In Johnstown, Pa.
In the early sixties the steel in
dustry, was revolutionized by the in
ventions Of Henry Bessemer, whose
process reduced the cost Of produc-
tion more than 500 l,er cent. Long
before Bessemer's time the idea Of
converting cast iron into cast steel
had engaged the attention Of many
brilliant men, but it had been dis
missed as impracticable. Bessemer's
idea was to force a blast Of cold air
through the molten metal until it
was sufficiently deGarbonized to be-
come steel. Before that process was
suggested the Decentralization of
iron could be effected only by the
tedious, difficult and unhealthful
process of pudding, which consist
ed in turning and kneading great
molten masses at the end Of long
rods until every part was exposed
to the air.
