AMERICAN CABLES.

The International Communications
conference at Washington seems to have
been playing big part in Strengthening
out the cable situation in general and the
zap problem in particular.
Before the war nearly all of the i'm
portant ocean cables belonged to Great
Britain and Germany. The seizure Of
the German cables as war spoils, and
their virtual confscation as one of the
numerous war penalties imposed by the
allies. offered a chance for improving the
American position regarding cable facil-
tiles. Gables are not so vital as they
were formerly, because of the increasing
power and dependability of wireless. 1t
is expected, however, that they will carry
the bulk of transoceanic messages for a
long time to come, if indeed they are
ever superseded. 1t is considered right,
therefore, that the United States should
gain such of the German cables as would
seem to fall naturally to this country,
in part payment of the moderate war
bills our government has to present to
Germany, and that other cables much
needed for strategic and business pur-
poses should be brought under American
ownership, public or private, wherever
that is feasible.
A. rart Of the distribution plan
worked out. ii is understood that the
United States is to have the German
cable line running from zap to Guam
which island is owned by America and
has an American cable station-and that
Japan shall content herself with that
part of the line extending from zap to
Shanghai The United States is also ex-
pected to get the cable from New York
to Brest, now in possession of France,
and a cable extending from New York
to England, in exchange for an Ameri-
can cable connecting Canada with Great
Britain.
All this Encouragement is sensible, es-
pecially that part which contemplates the
settlement of the zap controversy by a
businesslike adjustment instead of letting
it develop into diplomatic deadlock. 1t
is inconceivable that two great, civilized
nations should ever get into serious diff

atively trivial as the right to use for

Not in the Interests of Justice.
CRutland News.

Many persons will agree with Judge
Ben b. Lindsey, of the Denver juvenile
court that it was unfair to make him pay
fine of $500 and costs of $33 because
he refused to betray the confidence of
child which had been brought before him
for trial. BY an absurd rule of law the
courts compel such betrayal and because
he held out, Judge Lindsey was fined the
amount named above. Years ago when
Judge Lindsey first presided over the jul
venile court he created somewhat of a
sensation throughout the country by the
wonderful results he achieved in his hand
ling of the cases of children brought be-
fore him. Judge Lindsey has demon
Strated time and again that he under
stands and he always made such an inn
preston by his kindly action upon Juvenile
delinquents in his court that it is little
wonder we. find children reposing great
condolences in him. That he should be
compelled to violate these condolences is
certainly not in the interests of Justice
and that the rule of law in his case is not
right we believe has been demonstrated

thousands for his stand in the matter

TOBACCO SENTIMENT.

Smokers who have been fearing con-

like An inquiry made by the Tobacco
Merchants Association of the United
States seems to show such an overwhelm-
ing public sentiment against anti-tobacco
legislation that there is little hope for
federal prohibition in that line.
The inquiry was evidently impartial.
Questions were sent to 1900 newspa-
per editors asking them whether they
themselves favored the enactment of laws
prohibiting the personal use of tobacco
by adults, and whether their cOmmuni-
ties favored such legislation. The name
of the organization did not appear in the
letters of inquiry, and most of the edi-
tors did not know whether those conduct
ing it were for or against tobacco. Near
" 5000 replies were received. Ninety
FIVE per cent of the editors replying ex-
pressed the opinion squarely that their
communities were against tobacco prohi-
bition, and only 3 per cent reported any
considerable sentiment for it.
That ought to settle the matter. Yet,
it may not Every wise man knows that
nothing is ever settled until woman has
had her say about it. Nearly all of the
editors happen to be men, with a mas
