to believe that the great bulk of the
population Is prepared and willing to
wrestle effectively with the great
problems Of the day. There is still
illiteracy, which is not being de-
creased while thousands of schools
are closed or, on short time. The
clouds of prejudice continue to inter-
fere with the working of the human
intellect, and there is a prevalence
of the disposition to avoid problems
that appear difficult. Yet there has
been progress. The Intellectual base
of millions Of Americans has been
broadened with the result that they
are willing to be shown and are able
to employ something more than a
combination of "horse sense" and
"the rule of thumb" when they con-
slider the present and the future.
Is 1t too presuming to cherish the
belief that American public opinion
has more solid foundation than is
to be found in other large countries
Of the world?

very large block Of some widely held

Hitler for the first time became also

Blomberg issued an order that every
soldier must pledge absolute loyalty
to the death to Hitler. III: 7 /,
Ever since his great victory at Tan
nenberg, early in the World war, Won
Hindenburg had been the idol Of the
German people and their grief over
Aisdeath was general and sincere. Their
expressions Of sorrow were mingled
with yelled but anxious discussions
concerning the possible effects on the
reich Of the aged leaders death and
the assumption Of full power by Hit
Ter. The president, though forced to
give the Maxi chief the chancellorship,
had been constant check on extreme
Nazism, and he had the full con-
adence Of other nations that has never
been accorded to any other German
since the war. As Jaceb Gould Schur-
man, former American ambassador to
Berlin, puts It: '' - r.
"Now that Won Hindenburg is gone,
no successor, having regard to his
achievements, his prestige, and his
tried and tested character, can, ut
least for considerable time, create
an atmosphere equally favorable to
diplomatic negotiations with foreign
powers" .H s.EH " -: i ,$

May Cause Hardship

Failure Of the senate to heed the
pleas Of Senator Robert J. Bulkley of
Ohio in the closing hours for passage
Of his amendments to the federal re-
serve act, was the biggest disappoint-
ment Of the whole session Of congress
20 tar as the treasury, comptroller Of
the currency and banking fraternity
are concerned. The administration Of
fcials had very ardently urged the
adopting Of these amendments but they
were caught in jam.
a peculiar phase Of the situation II
that no one was really opposed to
them. Some casual references were
made to their being written in Wan
Street. and that sort Of thing, but q
canvass Of the senator's afterwards dis
closed that this was just Idle chatter
and that no one really meant It. Sem
ator Bulkley is confident that they will
be adopted in January, but In the
meantime, according to the comptrol-
ler's Office, considerable hardship may
be caused, and quite unnecessarily, by
their failure.
For example, one OF the amend
ments, changing the banking act Of
1888. was to permit orderly hquida-
ton OF the assets and securities of
securities companies affiliated with
banks. which are members Of the fed
eral reserve system, when such COM
panies are placed in formal liquidation
and are transacting no other business.
Its purpose was to prevent such COM
panies dumping their assets on the
market in a rush to dissolve before the
date fixed in the law. Such dumping
would not only result in sharp sacri-
fees on the part Of the stockholders
Of the companies because the effect Of
the dumping would force down the
price below what it should be, but in
addition the effect on the whole mar

BELL SYSTEM
REPORTS Cain
Number of Phones Increase
1851 Over 1882, Annual
Statement Shows.

During the first eight months of
1888 the Indiana Bell Telephone
Company reported a decrease of
14,O60 in the number of phones in
service, as compared with 25,691
during the same period of 1882, &C
cording to the annual report to
stockholders released today by j. F.
Carroll, president.
September was the first month to
display an increase since May, 1881,
and the advance was great enough
to more than offset a slight loss in
the succeeding three months, the
report stated. During the year the
company connected 1852 phones
and disconnected 42,193, leaving a
total loss of 1854.
Total operating revenues de-
creased $1,34O,OOO, and net earnings
were at the rate of 1892 per cent on
the cost of the plant and other
assets, Mr.. Carroll asserted.
During 1888 the company carried
through a gross construction pro-
gram amounting to $1,879,9O0, which,
however, did not result in any net
additions to the property, the in
vestment showing a decrease OF
$230C00.
Taxes paid for the year amounted
to an average of 10 cents a month
for each telephone in service. The
total was $1,461,748, or lat per cent
Of the total operating revenues as
compared with 1873 per cent in 1882.
This displayed an increase of
S76.233 over the previous year in
spite of the fact that the total oper-
ating revenues were lower by
S1,34O.00O.
