The financial report of the metropolitan utilities district for the year 1920, just audited and published as required by law, is refresh ingly novel if nothing else. While private pub lic utilities are asking higher rates because of deficits shown on their books, the publicly owned water and ice plants are pictured as yielding a profit, a profit so handsome in fact that, were they privately-owned, there would be a loud clamor for a reduction in rates. The water department's statement records a surplus of $96,257, this after all operating ex penses are paid, interest on bonds is met, al lowance is made for depreciation and provision is made for paying off the cost of the plant when the bonds mature. This is approximately 10 per cent of the gross income from sales of water. There could be a cut of 10 per cent in all water rates without a chance of having to write figures in red ink. Should the reduction be limited to the "ordinary users," as previous decreases have been, there could be at least a IS per cent cut without endangering this year's balance. The showing in the ice department is even more striking. Here is shown a surplus of $51,000 for the year's operation, on a total busi ness of only $168,000. This represents a profit of 30 per cent. Even with thirty-cent ice, nine cents of every thirty cents paid by the user is clear profit a margin which would readily en able a cut in the price or would go quite a way toward paying the cost of delivery to the back door, a service not now undertaken. Clearly, if there be reason for reducing gas rates in the face of a technical deficit of $46,000, as has recently been done, there is ample room for a reduction of water and ice rates. Clearly, too, here are lessons in efficient management well worth study by other public utilities. Regulating the Packers. Without opposition from the great provision companies affected, the meat packer control bill has passed through the house of representatives. A similar measure, sponsored by Senator ,Nor ris, is expected to go through the senate within a week or so. For years there has been growing a demand for strict supervision of the packing business. Both producers and consumers have complained, there has been a series of anti-trust proceedings against the five largest packing com panies, and charge has been piled on charge and decision on decision. In all this time no great relief has been found either by the live stock raiser or the meat eaters. Some skepticism over this latest piece of legisla tion, which unlike all other moves of the govern ment, has been unopposed by the companies con cerned, is inevitable. It is to be hoped that whatever law emanates from congress will deal justly both with the peo ple and with what is often considered a monop oly. This may be true of the bill, but if the packers have been guilty of unfair practices in the past, it is too much to believe that they would quietly accept any proposed cutting into their profits or eliminating their privileges. Per haps the explanation is that this piece of regula tion is regarded as the lightest that can be ob tained and that unless it is written into law some thing more stringent might be expected. It will be remembered how the railroads and other public utilities fought the establishment of the Interstate Commerce commission and the various state public service boards. These were originally designed to protect the people from the utility corporations, but now have become to a large extent the bulwark and protection of the railroads and other utilities against the pressure of the public. Today we see the Interstate Commerce com mission inclined toward maintaining high trans portation rates rather than toward lowering these charges. State laws providing for lower fares have been superseded by federal order. On every hand is the spectacle apparent of public utilities seeking to get out from the control of city com missions and popular opinion and under the wing of state boards. The possibility looms that this new packer legislation will afford a convenient cyclone cellar Jrt the provision companies. One would be tm sophlsticated indeed to expect lower prices for meat or higher prices for stock as a result of this measure. Inland Xaterway Improvement The session last month of the Waterways division of the Mississippi Valley Association was notable only for the fact that it reiterated the neglect of the government to improve the rivers and make serviceable to commerce the natural advantages of the region. Vice Presi dent Smith of the association thundered denun ciation at the railroads for extorting tribute from the producers and denying them access to the cheaper transportation so easily avail able. Resolutions, embodying a declaration of principles were adopted, and expressions of de termination to carry on an energetic campaign were included in the record. All this is very well as far as it goes, but it will help only when translated into action. It is many years since "Jerry Murphy's ditch," now politely referred to as the Hennepin canal, was projected, and it is little more than a dream yet The Illinois canal is serviceable for very light draft vessels or barges, but the great pos I ibilities remain untouched. The association has a comprehensive, definite plan to work out, al though we do not understand why Omaha was omitted from the Missouri river project. An inclusive scheme for utilizing the waterways of the west ought to go far upstream above Omaha. Pioneers did it, and it seems absurd that with all the improvements and advantages that it cannot be done nowadays. Army engineers have reported against the feasibility of using the river farther up than Kansas City. Others are of the opinion that the true solution is simple and comparatively inexpensive. If the Mississippi Valley Associa tion is going to get anywhere, it should make its propaganda a little more specific, and its efforts more direct. Western congressmen who voted against the rivers and harbors bill did so because they have little faith in many of the projects included. This lack of faith may only be overcome by showing something to pin faith to. "Choke Off the Spenders.' . The dolorous cries of the democratic organ grinders fill the air, lamentations loud and dis sonant following the failure of the Harding ad ministration. We are amazed at this. Rather, we had thought, the opposition would take some comfort in the miserable fiasco. Just think, it was three months on Saturday since Warren G. Harding was inaugurated and took over the government, and he has not yet undone all the muddle that Woodrow Wilson made in eight years. That is unforgivable. Just now the chorus is attuned to the naval appropriation bill. It would be the same with any, but the senate's action in setting apart money to complete the program recommended by Mr. Wilson and his secretary of the navy, Josephus Daniels, is the nearest thing at hand, and so it is used. None of the vociferous and persistent critics appears to have reflected that the senators of the United States are patriotic men, animated by a high sense of public duty; that they are, or at least ought to be, in a posi tion to judge what is good and necessary for the public weal, and when they are acting in har mony with not only a republican but a demo cratic policy, their motives are not altogether evil. Let us recall that two years ago an extra session of congress was assembled very reluc tantly by Mr. Wilson, he assenting only because the last democratic congress had expired with out making appropriations for the running of the government. With less than six weeks' time to consider the big bills, the republicans cut more than a billion dollars out of the meas ures that had passed a democratic house and got jammed in a democratic senate. Also, that same congress reduced the estimates sent to it by the democratic heads of the several depart ments of the government, and in one year "choked off the spenders" who had raided the Treasury under Wilson, and saved the people more than $2,000,000,000. It is very well for Senator Hitchcock and hU paper to clamor now for economy, but it is not on record that he made any such fuss when bil lions were being wasted in connection with the war. Perhaps this ought to be modified. Sena tor Hitchcock was one of the group, with Cham berlain of Oregon, who in 1918 tried to take control of the war out of the hands of President Wilson and vest it in the senatef - Another little pointer: In May, 1913, the government under Woodrow Wilson was run ning behind at the rate of $1,000,000 a day; in May, 1921, under Warren G. Harding, the public debt was reduced by $42,000,000. The spenders are being choked off, leaks are being plugged, and all efforts are being made to get the business of the government back onto a safe basis. Every thing cannot be done at once. But the demo crats still rely on being able to deceive enough voters to make a showing. Confusing the Armament Question. There is ground for suspecting insincerity in the movement of certain members of congress to substitute another arrangement for the dis armament proposal passed by the senate. In stead of the authorization of the president call ing a conference between America, Great Brit ain and Japan to discuss scaling down naval plans, the house of representatives is discussing a scheme for inviting all nations, big and little, into a parley which would take up not only naval questions, but that of armies as well. This is placing the movement for lifting the burden of warlike preparations on an impossible basis. The world is not ready to listen to sug gestions for disbanding its military forces and beating every sword into a plowshare. To speak frankly, some of the men in power in countries abroad are forced to maintain heavy armed forces on land to hold the people from revolution. No such purpose can be served by sea forces, and this alone would make the navies the natural starting point for pacific readjust ment Since the capitulation of Germany, only three great navies exist Even powers such as France and Italy count for little on the ocean. As is perfectly evident, a three-cornered race between America, Great Britain and Japan for, naval su premacy is on the point of starting. If the United States should outstrip one of its rivals, history gives. evidence that they would combine against us and begin the contest on a new basis. Ambition of this sort is not only ruinous' to the taxpayers, but it breeds animosities that have hitherto had only one outcome, that of war. President Harding, having given his ap proval of the senate amendment for a tripartite conference, public sentiment will not back the patent subterfuge of the lower house of congress with its certain confusion and disagreement Even the most enthusiastic advocates of dis armament realize that the reduction of national forces must begin gradually, work out from the center, and prove its advantages by power of example. This example can most easily and fittingly be given by the three leading naval powers, and to endeavor to thwart such a be ginning is to invite the wrath of the people who must foot the bills. The best piece of summer resort literature of the season is that concerning the river in Minnesota where the fish jump out of the water in such numbers that the natives have to shovel them back. If England wants a real alliance with Japan, why not marry off the son of the mikado to the daughter of one of the first families of the United Kingdom? What the Railroads Ask Julius Krutischnitt Writes in Elaboration of His Statements An applicant for divorce claims the limousine, the diamonds and alimony. She is willing to leave her husband his lob. From the New York Times. It is of the greatest importance that the pub lic should clearly understand all matters affecting the status of the railroads now under discussion before the senate committee on interstate com merce. Will you therefore permit me to clarify the suggestion made that ships, waterways and highways, built and maintained at public expense, be made to carry themselves by the imposition on those who use them for common carrier pur poses of tolls sufficient, when added to the mod erate sums collected from those who do not so use them, to pay interest and cost of upkeep? The railroads, built with money owned by in dividuals, have been dedicated to public use, under an implied obligation, frequently defined by the courts, that they are entitled to a fair return thereon. Years ago abuses in the man agement of railroads led to the creation of gov ernment agencies to redress injuries to the in dividual without compelling him to appeal to the courts, which have worked well; but under their operation the rights of the minority have been ignored and for many years they have been deprived of a fair return on their property used in public service. The railroads have made large capital ex penditures to increase income, but the savings have been absorbed in increased cost of labor and material, so that the expenditure of the enormous sum of $8,858,000,000 on their proper ties in the 19 years ending with 1919 has raised their income only $2,000,000, from $507,000,000 in 1901 to $509,000,000 in 1919, a return of 4.69 per cent on book cost in the former and 2.64 per cent in the latter year. With cost of labor and commodities constantly rising, the railroads alone of all industries have been restrained by law from meeting rising costs with higher charges for their services. Senator Cummins estimates that 26 months of fovernment operation will have cost the public 1.800,000,000, or $70,000,000 per month, before all bills will have been paid, because the full waste ful and withering effect of government control has not yet been ascertained. The plight of the railroads at the end of government control was such as to demand the attention of congress, which enacted the Transportation act, 1920, in which it recognizes the rights of the owners and in which it provided an agency through which they might be accorded them without compelling them to litigate. In other words, the Interstate Commerce commission the same body created to give quick relief to the public from railroad oppression was directed by statute to give quick relief to the carriers from public oppression. The act also directed the Interstate Commerce com mission, in making its determination of rates, to give due consideration to the transportation needs of the country and to the necessity of pro viding the people of the United States with adequate transportation. Under these clearly ad mitted and defined obligations, but little over a year old, diversions of traffic from the railroads w " dinaii, uunit a mallei VLAlIMUH concern, as they inevitably increase the burdens on some communities to the extent that they are Jifted from others. Moreover, as the government in the interest of the public is supposed to foster, guard and co-ordinate all transportation agencies, it seems absurd to encourage some of those which it controls to injure others for whose financial success it has assumed responsibility. Suppose that the enforcement of the long and short haul clause prevents the railroads from participating in coast traffic representing 5 per cent of their revenues; that subsidized government-owned ships deprive them of 10 per cent more, and that highways deprive them of an other 10 per cent. The statutory return on the value of property devoted to public use, which remains unchanged, must be produced by 75 per cent less traffic, so that those who perforce use the railroads have to pay 33 per cent more in the aggregate. Wilt the people in the interior, remote from seaports and state highways, whose sole transportation is furnished by the railroads, tolerate such great increases of rates, or will they demand that those making unlimited profits from the common carrier use of transportation agencies built and maintained by the government be made to pay reasonable tolls and thereby to some extent lighten their burdens? In suggesting to tlie senate committee how the spread between expenses and earnings might be widened the carriers made no request, nor even a suggestion, for a subsidy, as has been some what freely intimated, vbut did protest against the government's granting subsidies to their competitors. The suggestion was made in be half of those who use the railroads, quite as much as in the interest of the railroads themselves, and we believe those who do use outnumbr many times those who do not use them. The impression seems to obtain in some quarters that, in my recent testimony before the senate committee, I was objecting to or com plaining of the Panama canal and public, high ways. Nothing was further from my purpose. I merely called attention to the fact that the Panama canal and the public highways to which I referred were built and maintained at govern ment expense, and that common carriers for their own profit are permitted to use the canal and these highways without cost and without regulation, and do this in competition with the railroads, which are taxed and whose charges and expenses are all regulated by the govern ment I called attention to the fact that, insofar as this competition is successful, it would reduce the earnings of the railroads and thus, as I have shown above, increase the amount which shippers by the railroads would have to pay. I regard this as both unwise and unjust competition. Manifestly, as common carriers for their own profit are permitted to use these government highways, justice requires that they should con tribute to their support and not be established as competitors and granted special favors. From the date of its opening seven years ago transcontinental railroads have amet Panama canal competition, and if they cannot continue to do so on fair and equal terms they must acknowledge defeat without whining or com plaining; obviously, however, they cannot com pete with common carriers on the Panama canal and public highways, which enjoy the backing of the United States treasury and 48 state treas uries.

"Trust in the Lord and keep your powder dry." The first half of this rule of conduct contradicts the second half. If you trust In the Lord, why keep your powder dry? When spiritual systems of healing are born they stick to the first half and throw the second to the dogs. Before many years they pick up the second half and Incorporate it among their rules of action. When the term spiritual Is made broad enough to Include the mind cures we find a list as long as the moral law whatever that is. All of the mind cures are open to the same criticism. They start off with: Have faith in the cure, based on the supremacy of mind over matter. And they end with: Keep your powder dry, or look well to your health habits. I have no quarrel with the meth od, not even with Its contradictions. I have seen most dramatic mind cures or religious cures, whichever you want to call them. I have seen remarkable cures by suggestion. But for the long run and the everyday I know that what counts is health habits. If the two parts of the double barrel philosophy are contradictory I cannot help it It Is enough that for the long run they all get that way. Therefore, when I took up Dr. George F. Butler's book entitled "How the Mind Cures" I was not disappointed when' I found that it was double-barreled. The best proof that the mind cures is the fact that it cures. Cases that are cured by the mind are within the observation of nearly ev ery one. I do not know that I ac cept all of; Dr. Butler's very able analysis of consciousness into the supraconscious, the conscious, and the subconscious mind. It seems to me that I have read arguments on the same subject in which his order was turned upside down and what he called the supraconscious was called the subconscious mind. Be the explanation whatever it may, the fact remains that Dr. Butler shows that the mind cures and that it al ways has, sometimes under one flag, sometimes under another; some times under one explanation, some times under another. As one reads his chapter on the history of psychotherapy one is re minded that ai thing, may be very right though the explanation of it mUy be very wrong. One certain point is that Dr. Butler teaches that bone must have a philosophy of life. With that there can be no quarrel. One can have a great many very miserable and harmful mental hab its and escape a good part of the penalty if he can develop a philo sophy of life. This permits him to shed troubles as a duck sheds wa ter. Dr. Butler's other barrel deals with health habits such as posture, the shaping of a chair, how to hold the shoulders back, the advantage of proper breathing, the therapeutic value of walking, how to avoid over eating. Let us quote his philosophy for sleeping a cure for most cases of insommla: "On going to bed at night, after taking your breathing exercises you should understand that, first of all, though sleep is your object in going to bed, it is not so essential that you must attempt to force it on your senses, for such a notion is the very thing that will prevent your sleep ing, if anything will. "It will make you anxious, and anxiety is death to sleep. Just as sume a natural, easy position and give yourself up to the soothing in fluence of the night But if sleep Why Coal Doesn't Sell. They may all talk until they are black in"the face about the necessity of buying coal at this ime, but in the absence of inducement to buy he average consumer of coal will not be in any hurry to lay in his winter's supply. He may be very unwise not to do so. He may be running the risk of contributing to a winter famine. He may be contributing to con ditions that will make coal cost more than it does even now. But so long as coal for house hold purposes costs him about twice as much as it used to cost, and there is so much, mystery as to where part of the increased cost disap pears, he is inclined to take a gamble on what the future will bring. If the coal men want to see the coal market more active they must provide the inducement The problem is quite their own. Buffalo Ex press. The Latest Theory.

Miss J. K. writes: "Could you tell me the symptoms of the dreaded venereal disease, and are there any cures for a person afflicted with it?" REPLY. There are several venereal dis eases. The symptoms of the diseases differ. Send an addressed envelope and 4 cents postage for a booklet on venereal diseases. Needs Hospital Care. D. O. M. writes: "Is there any relief for a person suffering with tuberculosis when coughing? My brother sometimes coughs for a full hour and nothing seems to relieve him." REPLY. A cough which brings up phlegm does good. All unproductive cough ing is useless and harmful. People in tuberculosis sanitaria cough very little. Have your brother go to a hospital or sanitarium. Bettor See a Doctor. Miss A. D. W. writes: "What are the first symptoms of cancer of the breast? Several weeks ago I struck myself on a piece of furniture and the breast feels sore ever since. I have little time to see a doctor as my working hours are finished after all doctors' hours. I cannot afford to pay a doctor unless absolutely necessary that I consult one and I will have to lose some time from my work to do so." REPLY. Tumor, swelling, pain, enlarge ment of the glands, retraction of nipple, cancer age, cancer family, history, history of contiuued Irrita tion. Pain is a late sympton. A diagnosis that is not made until pain is in evidence is usually too late for the best service. Enlargement of glands and retraction of nipple are very late symptoms. In ordinary car cinoma there is a history of con tinued irritation. One injury is not apt to lead to carcinoma, though it may cause sarcoma. If your trouble could be reasonably suspected of being cancer, see a doctor, even if you cannot spare the time. This may be the most important business of your young life. Heritage of the Poppy. G. M. M. writes: "1. Would the mother's using opium cause her children to become affected by It if she used the drug before they were born? "2. Would the child become ad dicted to it if the mother began to use it when the child was a month old or a year old, and in both cases nursed by the mother? REPLY. 1. The babies born to mothers ad dicted to the use of opiates are ad dicts at the time of birth. They suffer because of unrecognized opium hunger during the few days preceding the time when the flow of milk comes. 2. When a nursing woman takes morphine the drug appears in her milk. A baby drinking the milk is liable to develop the habit. THE CURTIS HOTEL -:- MINNEAPOLIS -:- In the heart of Minnesota's famous lake region.

Bishop Manning, by his militant loyalty during the war, deeply of fended elements of New York life and, first on one excuse and then on another, these have employed their fingers clawing in hs direction. These scratchers. having failed to reach their objective by former ef forts, now seem to wish to try to present him as a narrow reaction ary, out of sympathy with social progress and ready to padlock the lips of socalled liberal clergymen. Yet in his first address Bishop Manning declared that the church "must play her part" in helping to solve the social problems of the hour In the very nature of things must feel keenly upon these questions and must be in deep sympathy with those whose lot is the hardest . . . from the present imperfections of our so cial order." To this he appropriately added a warning that it is not the function of the church "to prescribe the economic views men must hold nor the economic systems they shall adopt." In this country, for good and suf ficient reasons, state and church are separated. Thus it is an offense for a clergyman to attempt to become a political leader. The inhibition some times is inconvenient, but it has been deemed wise to shut the door against the possibility of priestcraft. The wise occupant of a pulpit will be satisfied to confine himself to his appointed work to developing a right spirit and an enlarged con science, leaving to others the busi ness of leading, particular partisan causes. A preacher who dogmat ically preaches socialism, for ex ample, does not differ in quality from one who dogrnatlally preaches its contrary. Both are seeking to use their place in ways hostile to sound Amerlcanlsm. Bishop Manning Is on firm ground. He would not have the church in politics. Its duty is done when It develops the sense of human broth erhood and inter-responsibility and remits specific application to men and women in their capacity as citi zens. Political Primary Losing Caste. The supreme court says that under the constitution there is no Jurisdic tion over a state primary on the part of congress. The primary Is Just something that runs wild and has neither a home nor a destination. Some day It won't have any friends. Los Angeles Times. Populism. From the Washington Post. A revival of populism is pre dicted. What bore that name swept the west and made a strong impres sion in the south SO years ago. The farming interests then were greatly depressed. Drought, grasshoppers, and middlemen were charged with the trouble, but the remedy pro posed and adopted by the sufferers was a new political party. This was organized, and both of the old parties contributed to the membership. In the west the re publican party was most affected; in the south, the democratic party. The most brilliant man In con gress from the west John J. In gall8 Was a victim of the move ment. James B. Weaver of Iowa, a man of force, and at one time of lnnuonce in national affairs, went over to the new order, and lost his hold. Thomas E. Watson of Georgia, then a young man and a democratic member of the house, turned to populism, and lost out. Ho has Just returned to congressional life, but as a democrat. Mr. Bryan in his first nice for the presidency was ac cused of being more populist than democrat. But. though a power In spots for a time, populism never came to nn tional control, nor the men It brought to the front to influence. Senator Pepper of Kansas, Senntor Allen of Nebraska, Senator Kyle of South Dakota and Representative Jerry Simpson, did not long retain olTlce, and the party disintegrated. The farming interests are again greatly depressed, but only as all other interests are. Would popu llsh remedy the present trouble any more than It did the earlier trouble? Wo Suggest a Padded Cell.
