Poital Telegraph.
In transmitting to congress tbe re
port of the postmaster general. Pres
ident Taft takes occasion to disavow
and dissent -from the recommenda
tion of a postal telegraph. The presi
dent expresses the view that govern
ment activity abonld not be substi
tuted for private enterprise here if
the service may be rendered by
francblsed corporations under public
control In a manner equally cheap
and efficient This is the real point
ot debate, the postal telegraph hav
ing been eetabliahed abroad, and
being now urged for this country by
Postmaster General Hitchcock as a
proper function for the PostofBce de
partment by which telegraph mes
sages, tbe same aa letters, could be
transmitted and delivered better, if
not cheaper. . "
The proposal of the postal tele
graph is by no means new with us,
nor even new with our postal author-
ties, as it baa been included in tbe
program of various successive post-
masters general for forty years. It
must be admitted that very recent
developments, J lining tbe telegraph
xnd the telepl one for operating pur
poses, hss made It a more compli
cated problem, and has unquestion
ably deterred tbe advent ot the pos
tal telegraph, which had previously
appeared to be fast approaching.
without resistance on tbepart of the
telegraph companies. The attitude
of President Taft takes the postal
telegraph oS of the legislative slate
for the present, but It will make a
reappearance at some not distant day.

Colombia's action In promptly re

- The Caw of Mr. Schwab.
It baa been several daya since
Charles M. Schwab spoke so despair
ingly of the steel business, from
which be threatened to retire If con
gress tampered with the tariff, but if
be has acted upon hia threat the fact
has been withheld from the public
Before Mr. Schwab throws up the
sponge be might recall a statement
he made in the fall of 109. which
went far from indicating that tbe
steel business was altogether unprof
itable. He aaid tbat the capital
stock ot tbe Bethlehem Steel company
hia corporation amounted to
$15,000,000, all of which the Bethle
hem owned; tbat It waa divided Into
800.000 abarea at J 50 par; tbat
while nominally only ft a share had
been paid In, the surplus of the com
pany waa practically . sufficient to
pay the stock Is full and that the
company Intended to, issue stock to
represent the surplus. Those were
Mr. Schwab'a own words. Presumably
the company has since carried out its
intention and issued this stock to
represent the surplus.
In 1910 tbe Bethlehem company
paid a dividend of 10 per cent,
amounting to $1,500,000, on Its cap
ital stock. Surely any industry that
can earn dividends of $1,500,1100 on
an actual cash Investment ot $300,-
000 is In fairly good condition to
weather an adverse wind or two: at
least, it is fair to presume tbat tbo
principal holders of Its stock would
not be hastening to throw overboard
what they bad acquired. Or, putting
It another way around, a $15,000,000
concern with $300,000 of stock con
tributed In cash and $14,700,000 in
earned profits, is not in tha most
advantageous position to demand spe
cial privileges.

Voltuiteri In Idle Army.
It is not at all surprising to learn
tbat many tbouaanda ot Chicago's
army ot unemployed ars volunteers.
The complete muster is estimated at
125,000 and the commission, ap
pointed by the mayor to Investigate
conditions baa already reported tbat
It has found many demanda tor work'
men unmet by tbe soldiers within
these lines. For instance, call for
$5,000 men to clear railroad tracks
and other property ot aoow fell upon
deaf ears. In another case 1,(04 men
were advertised (or In the morning
newspaper want ad columna and $50
responded.
No impatient teal tor work evl
dently anlmatea thousands of these
soldiers of Idleness. Others, no doubt,
would like a chance to earn an
honest living, but there is tbe un
answered call for the 25,000. Mace
donia is not' saved' that way. We
ventured to suggest, before that a
large proportion of this vast army of
unemployed consisted ot tbe profes
sional tramp and these early findings
ot the coamtssion seem to Justify
our belief. They put a very different
aspect upon the situation and will go
to discredit -any-attempt to make
political capital out of a condition ap
parently grave.
Industry and capital, of course, are
pursuing a conservative line ot action
for the present, bat upon tbe eve of
a national election aucb a condition

no sort of warrant (or magnifying

The democratic World-Herald la
not happy over tbe appointment of
Judge Pitney to the supreme court
vacancy, although it baa no word to

give Louis D. Brandela the place aa
a reward for going up and down tbe
country attacking his administration.
W shall file thia recommendation
away- for the event, which w do not
think at all Imminent, of a. demo
cratic president with a supreme court
vacancy to fill, and see whether the
World-Herald will atlll be aa Insistent
for Mr. Brandela, notwithstanding be
avows bimselt a republican.

Ex-Senator Bevertdge Is reported as
saying that the anti-trust act Is "a
relic of th seventeenth century." True.
It Is also a relle of the eighteenth and
nineteenth' centuries, . inasmuch as It puts
into statutory form the principles ot the
common law that hare existed since law
waa formed for the public Interest. Th
first derisions against the Standard and
sugar trusts were under the common law.
But old principles of the common law
are not necessarily effete. The Ten Com
mandments,'' for Instance, date back a
good many centuries before Christ..

She was weak, sne waa pale, she was
fragils snd trail.
And the trouble grew rapidly chronic;
She waa wan, she was weak, 'twas a task;
just to speak,
'And the could not respond to a tonic,
She could still go around, hut each day
It waa found
That she seemed less concerned with )
Just living,
And she rook with an air of the deepest

And they talked, grav ot brow, ot tha
why snd the how '
And of cellular atrengtb snd osmosis.
They prescribed for her trips' on thi

They declared sh must do lots of
walking.
But ah shook her poor head and she

While tbe specialists kept np their taik

Came a doctor quite new to see what he
might do;
H asked not of her eating and drinking.
But he studied her case as he looked at
her face
And he kept up a power ef thinking.
Then be ssld: "I am sura that I know of ' J
a cure. i
And he gossiped of Cranks and trans

And of limousine tops and of magneto

Which astounded, the other physicians.
Well, her husband was keen and he.

And th doctor, when faced with the

Of how he waa so sure he could work
out a cure.
