Answer Points Of similarity be-
tween the early histories Of the United
States Steel Corporation and the Cen
cral Motors Corporation undoubtedly
may be found. The automotive indus
try is second in Importance only 20
that Of steel IN the United states, and
although the General Motors Corpora
tion is one Of the leading factors IN the
production Of motor cars il cannot be
said 70 hold q position IN this field
similar 20 that Of the Steel Corpora
tion In It's feld. This position may be
reached in time, but IL seems 70 VS.
that unless one or two strong "inde-
pendents' arc absorbed by General Mo
tors this corporation will hardly reach
the pre-cminent position comparable 90
that of United states Steel. All this IS
n matter Of opinion. however. and YOU
arc free 20 take an opposing view.
What you probably have in mind in
raising the question is the possible cf-
feet on tho price Of the common stock
Z General Motors reaches command
ing position. You probably recall the
time when United States Steel com
mon was being kicked around the
Street and regarded in many quaters
NJ worth little more than waste paper
In this connection 10 may be well %
present some figures on the capi'aliza-
iion Of the two companies and let you
draw your own conclusion. There is
m authorized capitalization Of the
Steel Corporation Of S400,000,ooo Z per
cent cumulative preferred stock OF 500
par value and s550.O00000 Of common
of 500 par value. The common stock

piscipline in the national Guard.

Commenting on the proposal Of the
military authorities to encamp the
Vermont National Guard at Camp
Governor Gates, near Fort Ethan Al
len, the Middlebury Register says
"It is exceedingly difficult to get the
same discipline and morale at Camp
Governor Gates as exists at Camp
Devens. Should the war department
encamp the militia at Camp Gates,
there will be grave danger Of lapsing
into one of those old time, and famous,
camping parties, long on good fellow
ship and brotherly spirit, but sadly
lacking in military atmosphere and
discipline. ii the militia is sent to
Camp Gates and kept there under
strict army regulations, well and good,
It not, il win be waste of time for
the men and the government as vel"
IL is not the easiest taing in the
world to get discipline in the National
Guard under any system which in
cludes their own neighbors and we'll
known regimental officers in COM
mand, but the Herald cannot see why
with the same officers and the same
regulations. just as good results can
not be obtained in Colchester, YER
mont. as Aver, Mass.
This business of atmosphere" is
largely conversational, at best. II is
perhaps true that the physical equip
ment is better at Camp Devens than
at Camp Governor Gates, but one of
the best things for militarism is rust
ling" their own conveniences and ne
cessities of camp life.
Good officers and men that have
come along with the new militia regu
lations ought TO get results anywhere,
especially as they will have the serv-
ices Of qualified regular army officer
in the person of the regimental in
spector.
IL ii comes to that, there was very
fair type of discipline in the encamp-
ment Of the volunteer reserves at the
state fair grounds in the last year of
the war. True, IL wasn't under exact
ly war conditions, but it was far from
being an old-fashioned camping-out
party.
If General johnson and his aides set
out they can have just as good dis
cipline and training at Camp Gates as
anywhere else.-Rutland Herald.

WILSON IN POLITICS.

1t is rather unfortunate that on
nearly every occasion on which ex-
Pres. Wilson emerges from private
life for brief moment the occasion
has been to speak in bitter terms OF
someone who had been at some time
or other associated with Wilson in
public affairs. So it was in connec-
ton with the name Of Senator James
A. Reed of Missouri; so now it is in
relation to ex-senator James X. Var
daman Of Mississippi, who is seeking
reelection to the Senate and whose
opponents are working every angle in
order to beat him. Elk Pres. Wilson
has been inveigled into making public
statement in which he declares Var
daman to.be thoroughly false and I'M
trustworthy" and asserts that it
would be great detriment to the
state of Mississippi and to the nation
if Vardaman is returned to the Sem
ate. There have been other occasions
since Wilson retired from the White
House when he has been drawn out in
making a statement, the nature of
which was extremely caustic or bitter;
in fact, most of his public utteranccs
since going into private life have been
tinged with vitriol or the gall Of an
unsatisfied life. Wilson is SO outspok-
en- in his opinions as to be almost
brutally frank; and in these later
years he has, apparently, allowed the
bitterness of spirit to eat its way into
his life to a marked extent. A great
many people feel as Wilson does about
Reed and Vardaman and they are prob
ably free to express their opinions;
but it would seem that man Of Will
sons prominence in national and inter
national affairs ought to take the
stand of refusing tosbe drawn into the
maelstrom Of petty politics, or at least
that he should not, almost without
exception, lapse into criticism of the
bitter sort. 1t would become for
mer president Of the United States
to take less bitter view of affairs,
leastwise to refrain from airing opin-
ions Of destructive nature, to the vir-
tual exclusion of opinions of construc-
tive nature. 1t is not a pretty specta-
Gle to see a former occupant Of the
White House giving vent to venom
most of the time.
