Equal Rights for All.

To the Editor of The Bee: In
reading The Bee of Wednesday
morning l note the article TO the
effect that the fate of the Monarch
hangs In the balance" Personally
l do not think that II hangs in the
balance at all. The public can easily
guess what is to be done about the
Monarch. 1t is to be closed. The
thing that Is going to keep 1t closed
is the fact that it was the black and
white cabaret" This is the thing
that has stuck in the craw Of the
newspapers and welfare board ever
since the unfortunate happening
which brought the cabaret into
prominence. ..

Western Union and Uncle Sam.

An able and witty French statesman once re-
marked of the Bourbon family, "They learn
nothing, and they forget nothing" This might
apply to some of the operating heads Of great in
dustries in the United States; especially TO the
president of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany in his opposition to the government Mr..
Carlton says his company will connect up its
Barbados cable with landing in Cuba and so
reach the United States despite President Wilson
OF any other government authority or agent His
attitude is not one that will strongly appeal to
the American people.
The action of the president and the secre-
taries Of war and navy does not turn on the
rivalry between the Western Union and its COM
petitors In that the public does have some con-
cern. At present the Western Union declines
to accept business 10 be transmitted overseas by
wireless; through this method it perhaps ham,
pers the operation OF the Marconi companies to
considerable extent, but it is going over old
ground. The Bell telephone people long ago
trayersed the course, and came out at the losing
end 1t was found necessary to pass laws ana
otherwise to proceed to require the Ben
to handle business originating on rival lines, but
actual physical connection was eventually COM
pelled In. Omaha few years ago when several
street railway companies were competing
court ordered them to use the viaducts in COM
mon. In many other ways the public rights have
been similarly protected, and it is not too much
to expect that in good time the Western Union
will be forced to do what all others have done
handle its share OF the business in connection
with competitors.
greater issue is involved Experience dur
ing the war showed that Great Britain had abso-
lutte contrai of all facilities for transmitting in
telgence or holding communication throughout
the world. Through the order in council, emitted
early in 1915, constructive blockade was es-
tablished, and not a letter telegram or cable
gram passed between neutrais not actually con-
tiguous but proceeded by British consent. This is
what the president has in mind he wants to
adjust matters so that in event OF any great
world crisis the United States will not be under
the duress it had to endure from the spring OF
1915 for two years until we entered the war as
belgerent.
The expedient Mr.. Carlton proposes to adopt,
that Of landing one end of his company's Barba-
does cable in Cuba, may serve for the moment,
but il may be accepted as certain that our
government will not admit that act as a final
defeat and the closing of the rase.

In all human probability the cost

Decreased acreage and labor short

Airing Dirty Linen.

With the coming Of the presiden-
tial conventions the airing of dirty
linen is on the increase. II has been
done by both parties. and there is
much bitterness in both camps. If
all that has been printed is true,
there is not a candidate in either
party worthy of the great trust to
which the present campaign is tend
ing.
However, after the conventions.
it will become a bitter partisan
fight. There will be no division in
the respective democratic or repub-
lican camps; or at least it appears
now that both parties will be unit
ed as parties.
The Republicans are investigating
mistakes made in the couduct OF the
war and saddling them on the present
administration. although party lines
were obliterated during the war and
both parties supported the war pro-
gram. One is responsible as much as
the other. but the party in powerwill
carry all the blame.
The Republicans. since being in
power in the legislative branch of the
government. have generously spent
taxpayers money in fortifying them
selves through congressional inves-
tigations with information which
will be turned loose on the public
after the convention is over.

To DeveIope State Oil Resources

The Mississippi Drilling q Re-
fining Company is the largest and
newest candidate for support in the
oil game.
Prospectuses have been received
by number of gentlemen in this
city advising them of the plan and
asking their support in a small way
to insure the success of the enter
prise.
The company is headed by Gov
ernor Lee NJ. Russell, and has in it's
directorate some OF the strongest
and best men in the state. represent
ing nearly every section. The plan
is te raise two million dollars for
oil prospecting, and to bore IN the
several localities of the state where
the State Geologist suggests there
are prospects for oil. All that a
man is asked to subscribe is one
hundred dollars. and only one-half
of this is payable down; the remain
der is to be paid in monthly install
ments.
The plan is really a good one,
and the company is meritorious. in
that it is to proceed upon business
and scientific lines. The whole
state will be asked to support it,
and the cost is distributed so that
no one will suffer if the effort to de-
velop oil fails. Should one oil
we'll be developed. the undertaking
will be worth more than its cost to
the state, while the stockholders will
certainly share abundantly in the

The only mosquitoes that carry
germs are anopheles.

The only mosquitoes that carry
malaria germs are anopheles.
One may recognize an anophele
by its position. 1t rests with its
body at nearly right angles to the
surface on which it alights, while
other mosquitoes rest with their
bodies parallel to the surface. The
anophele mosquito is a night fiier.
and this peculiarly accounts for the
old folks saying that out door night
air was unhealthful and caused ma
laria. An accurate diagnosis of
malaria can be made only by ex-
amining the blood and finding the
malaria organism.
