Thc way the issues cut across one

'nr those parties a difficulty from

APPRECIATED BY FOREIGNERS

Hamilton Holt has been decorated by
the King of Sweden. He has previously
received five other decorations from
Japan, France, Italy, Greece and Po-
land. Mr.. Holt is perhaps our most
militant champion of the League of
Nations. Foreign governments are
properly appreciative of his efforts Of
brains, ability and moral worth of a
progressive and aggressive American
citizen.
John Bassett Moore, the leading
writer and instructor of International
law in the United States, a native of
Smyrna, Delaware, was chosen by
Italy to be a Judge of the World
Court, at the Hague, founded under
the League of Nations Constitution
and is paid by Italy. 1t is amusing
when there is not an editor in Della
ware who feels proud of their ma
tive's supreme attainment.
The old saying, that a prophet IS
without honor in his own country,
continues to be true when It comes to
the prejudice of peanut politics.

racy seems to be toe big a thing for

Hudson County Dispatch sees "a line
up something like this in the race for
the Senatorial toga at Washington:
Walter f. Edge, very wet; Edward

very radical"
Would not that make a lively pri-

The Republican 6O-Cent Dollar

With the cost Of living well above
the level Of March, 1922, a dollar in
March, 1923, is worth only about so
cents, compared with what it would
buy in 1913, the last year before the
World War, according to calculations
made by Prof. Irving Fisher.
The farmers dollar is depreciating
along with every one else's. There
has been a slight increase in the aver
age price Of agricultural products, but
the cost Of commodities which the
farmer does not produce and must
buy has risen more than 5 per cent in
q year.

In letter to friends in Salisbury,
Md, Edward (Lefty) Hean, of
Brooklyn, N. Y, pitching ace for the
White Clouds Salisbury team last
year, announces that he is to be mar

his fiancee at a ball game at which
she was a spectator.
Before going to Salisbury last year
Hearn pitched for the Farmer Base

he expects to be with Salisbury again

GUM O.s, and Japan 0.6. In all these
countries, telephones are owned anc

So far as the telephone develop.
ment of cities is concerned, the United
States again leads the world. Except
for some cities in Canada few in
the Scandinavian countries, and one
city in Switzerland, no foreign city Of
any size had a development as high
as.ten telephones per 100 inhabitants
whereas the average development Of
the thirty United States cities with q
population of 250,000 or more was
1877. Judged by United States tele-
phone standards, the great cities Of
Europe are exceedingly under-devel-
oped, in spite Of the fact that tele-
phone service abroad is largely re-
stricted to the cities.
One-third of all the telephones in
France are in Paris; one-third of all
the telephones in Great Britain are in
London. The sort of telephone ser
vice that is such well-known fea-
ture of life in the smaller communi-
ties and rural districts in the United

l3,329,379 TELEPHONES
in THE UNITED STATES
Interesting Survey OF The Telephone
System In Various Countries
OF The World.

It is matter of common knowledge
that the United States leads the world
in point of the extent of telephone
service; but the great degree Of
American superiority is not so gener-
ally appreciated. According to re-
cent survey, on January 1, 1921, there
were 20,S50,550 telephones in the
world, and of these 13,329,379, or Ga
FER cent, were in the United States.
In other words, with only about one
sixteenth of the worlds population,
the United States has almost two
thirds of the worlds telephones. The
number of telephones in all the coun-
tries of Europe combined was $780,
COG, or only rs per cent of the worlds
total. In the relation between tele-
phones and population, Europe is to-
day exactly where the United States
was some twentythree years ago.
Of the total number Of telephones
in the world on January 1, 1921 "a
bout 14,950,0O0 were operated by pri-
vate companies, and about 100000
by various governments. The survey
indicates, however. that there is a
distinct tendency for the develop
ment of telehone service to be more
extensive in those countries in which
the service is operated by private
companies than in countries where
there is government ownership. Thus,
in the United States, where telephones
are under private ownership, there
were 1874 telephones for each 100
people in the country, a development
higher than that of any other coun-
try. Canada, in which four-fifths of
the telephones were under private
ownership, had the second best devel-
opment, 9.8. In Europe, the best de-
veloped country was Denmark, with
II telephones for every 100 people,
followed by Sweden with sc and Nor
way with so. In all these countries,
telephone service was developed by
private enterprise, although the Gov
eminent has bought OUT the private
companies in Sweden and some parts
Of Norway.
Germany although it ranked next
to the United States as to number OF
telephones, with 1,809,574 instru-
