It looks as though the Lawton exercises at Indianapolis have been spoiled whether the president attends or not, and the spirit that has entered Into their spoiling seems both undignified and ungenerous. Everybody honors the G. A. It. for what its members and the men it memorializes did at a time when the nation stood in dire need of the blood of its sons. It is to be deplored, therefore, that the organization chooses to let jealousy and pique mar the beauty of the day it claims as its own. General Lawton was a soldier, too. True, he fell in a recent cause, while that for which the G. A. It. bled is an Issue of the long dead past. But after all is said and done the distinction is one where a difference does not exist. General Lawton fell in the service of his country. So did the heroes whom the G. A. II. glorifies. And that should be all that is necessary. There 1s enough glory to go around and It Is doubtful if those soldiers who have been honored year after year on Memorial day would share the feeling advanced by their survivors, in disrupting a program arranged as tribute to one no less worthy than they. Memorial day was established after the close of the civil war vith the primary object of keeping green the memory of the patriots who perished In its engagements. But never lias a word of protest been raised against Including the soldiers of previous struggles from the meed of loving tribute a grateful nation pours forth upon the alter of heroism. Why should those who fought the more recent battles be excluded? Even the wearers of the gray who were struck down In the civil war have grown to be Included in the glorification. This would Indicate that the victors are generous and the conclusion therefore traces the sentiment which has inspired the disruption of the Lawton day program, to personal pique on the part of a few .disgruntled ones who were not consulted by the Lawton committee when the latter made their plans for the unveiling. Amplo apologies have been made by the committee for the omission and the Incident should have closed forthwith. But Instead of this, branches of the G. A. II. have gone on record through the adoption of resolutions protesting against the celebration and against Roosevelt's taking xart in the program, and an "Individual" has industriously collected the data and sent a transcript to the president, requesting him to abstain from visiting Indianapolis for the occasion. Things have progressed to a stage where, whatever the president's an

swer, and whatever the outcome of these ructions, the sweetness is all taken out of not only the Lawton exercises, but of the G. A. R. celebration Itself and the president of the United States has been offered an Insult which speaks ill for the hospitality of Indiana.

Franchise Feudalism in Model Town.

Some surprise is expressed because the United States Steel corporation wants fifty-year franchises for all public utilities In its new model city of Gary, lnd. There is no occasion for surprise. The steel trust is building Gary out of a sand heap as a commercial proposition. It is not concerned with philanthropy. It would really seem incredible that the ciitzens of Gary should deny their benefactors anything in reason. In asking blanket franchises that extend only lifty years the steel trust might say, with a certain statesman, that it is "amazed at its own moderation." The steel trust wants franchises from the people of Gary enabling it to control transportation. water, light, heat and power and telephone utilities without any vexatious restrictions as to the rates to be charged. This is merely carrying out the feudal basis of model towns In general. The model town of Pullman, 111., re

ceived its first set-back when the people began to rebel against their inability to hold real estate except as tenants. They had other grievances against the Pullman company, all based on the working out of what was supposed to be a benevolent despotism. But even Pullman, in the most autocratic days of its founder and chief patron, conceded the management of public utilities to a majority of the citizens. That, however, was before the modern trusts that take toll of municipal utilities had come into existence. Today the "community of interests" plan embraces transportation, lighting and telephone utilities in the leading cities. As an economic experiment the new town of Gary is already an assured success. The same interests that created it intend to control it. And that raises tho point whether It might not be wise to let commercial feudalism work Its tintrammeled way in this civic child of the steel trust. If great corporations are permitted by their charters to become municipal despots, the sooner the result is known the better. As the entire present population of Gary is employed by the steel trust, directly or Indirectly, it would seem economic folly to deny that corporation the privilege of exploiting public utilities. But if experience counts for anything, none of these franchises should be granted without an express pro

vision that the municipality may trol the regulation of rates and vice. Next to municipal ownership

operation, the bulwark of American cities against corporate aggression is the continuance of power to regulate rates and to supervise the details of service for the public's benefit. The citizens of Gary should look ahead to a time when their city may become independent of steel or any other Industry. They may be liberal as to franchises now, but there is a day of reckoning ahead. Chicago Examiner.

Newspaper Education.

President V.'oodrow "Wilson of Princeton says that "people who have their heads buried In the morning paper in the morning and in the evening paper in the afternoon have no ideas except those which the newspapers give them." That is a compliment which the newspapers should appreciate, but It is not a subject for regret, as Mr. Wilson seems to imply. As between the man who only reads the newspapers, but reads them carefully and thoughtfully, and the man who reads only books with the same attention, there is little doubt that the former is far the more useful and the more practical citizen. Living men have to take the world as it is and to do their duty and realize their responsibilities, must know the world as it is. They can learn this only from the newspapers. Moreover, the men of the strongest mental powers, of the broadest information and of the highest learning now write for the newspapers. Mr. Wilson himself would be disappointed and the public would lose much value if his lectures, even when delivered to his students, where not fully reported. The public press, to which he doubtless subscribes, is just now filled with matters of the utmost importance to every good citizen and every student of history. The peace congress and the dedication of the Carnegie institutes at Pittsburg and New York have brought from all quarters of the world men of learning and of action, who arc giving their best thought to the people through the newspapers. Indeed the man, however, learned in mere book lore, but who does not read the papers of his city and his country, is an ignoramus. Duluth News-Tribune.

Do You Speak English?

We do not wish to be too personal, but how about your English? Do you speak it correctly? How long has it been since you said "between you and I" instead of "between you and me," or, worse still, "between he and I" instead of "between him and me?" It 1 not because you do not know better. Of course not. It is because you forgot. Still, you did not forget to wash your face this morning, did you? Many people go through life cracking the English language in the eye day after day. We know one exceedingly well-to-do professional man who will say "I do it," yet he is a master of arts from a famous university. Suppose you take stock of your grammar? Do you say "He do not?" Then why do you use the expression "He don't?" They are the same. If you do not say she am not," why do you persist in saying "She ain't?" Or why use such mouth-burdening sentences as "I would have liked to have gone," when It would be so much easier to say "J would have liked to go," or "I would like to have gone," besides being more grammatically proper? Or It may ever, be possible that you say "you was." And there are fifty similar little etiors In our daily conversation. If people judge by appearance, do not forget that they judge by grammar as well, and that a high hat will not efface the impression left by bid English. Talk it over wUh your friend?. You will be surpH.se 1 to fin 1 how much good it will ib you, and then yo.i can laugh at ihe reply of th. illiterate street urchins, who, when told by a passers-by: "Her ain't calling we," us don't belong to she."

NEW YORK LETTER. New York. .April 19. Another dull and uninteresting market for stocks. Each day becomes duller and duller. Even tike arbitrage brokers, who tried to scalp the market between London and New York were unable to do business and left the exchange. Opportunities for profit in stock operations today were meager in the extreme. Thw range of prices did not exceed one point with a few exceptions here and there. American Smelters. Union Pacific and the Hill stocks were the leaders. The strength in these issues dragged the balance of the marKet up reluctantly from one-half to one point. There was a dearth of news

to influence prices either way. A

scattered forecasts upon tomorrow's bank statement stimulated a little trading, but not enough to change tho stagnant tone which continued up to the closing hour. Quite a few traders expect the bank statement to be a favorable one tomorrow. They are in a measure discounting it by bidding stocks up sparingly today in order to unload them tomorrow. Earnings for several of the better class of railroad are showing up well despite the retrenchment shown in various lines of business. Baltimore & Ohio, Canadian Pacific and Missouri Pacific all show increases in their net earnings compared with a year ago. The market upon the whole closed practically unchanged from yesterday.

CHICAGO LETTER. Chicago. April 19. WHEAT Early

prices were lower based upon copious showers throughout the winter wheat belt. On the decline, however, substantial buying orders appeared which turned the market from weak to strong. The news In a general way was more in favor of the bulls. Houses with foreign connections, had several cablegrams reporting damages to the Prussian crops: too much mois

ture, in India retarding the harvest. Liverpool cables closed fractionally higher. The Modern Miller which is considered quite an authority on the winter wheat situation reported the condition

becoming- alarming owing to the devastation by the green bugs and unseasonable weather. This factor was instrumental in bringing In all of the active futures. The buying was mostly for short account. The market closed fairly strong within a fraction of the highest prices of the day. CORN Ruled strong although the volume of business was not large. Quite a little short covering appeared in the May option. The small stocks of contract corn at this market is a bullish factor, especially on the near futures. A better cash demand la reported.

fairs of the Harriman roads

often found, that while the state Commerce Commission scheduled to meet today, the of further testimony in regard affairs of the Harriman system

probably be put off until the fall. This view was nut generally accepted in the street, but those who held it said they knew. From the point of view of the professional trader the market is all right. There is just enough swing to it to afford him frequent opportunities for profit on both sides. If the movement is downward it fails to force much liquidation; if it is upward there

is so little really good buying that he feels that its extent will be limited to what is caused by the covering of shorts. The professional trader is a good judge of technical conditions, for he helps to make them, and when he sees that selling pressure fails to dislodge stock lie covers up and goes

long. On the other hand, when in a market that is almost wholly professional he sees that the covering of shorts has been about completed, he sells out and takes the side of declining prices for a turn. The one who knows the game best makes the most money, but of course none of the fraternity, however alert, catches all the turns or secures the full possibilities of any of them. This morning's Times says: Three stocks furnished more than one half of the total transactions In yesterday's market. This was an evidence in Itself of the general apathy. In

dustrials, with the exception of the Steel issues, Amalgamated Copper and Smelters were neglected. It is curious to note that many traders are disposed to take a bearish position on industrials while assuming a friendly attitude toward railroad stocks. Their argument is that a general reaction in business is imminent apparently and that the industrial stocks have not reacted in proportion to the severity with which they feel a period of depression, while the railroad stocks have discounted in a greater degree hard times. This argument does not appear to be very logical, but it is held tenaciously by good traders. Copper men point out that when there is no surplus stock of the metal, care is exercised In accepting orders for delivery, and that one of the results 18 a hardening of the price for short time delivery. Ordinarily the copper mined in January is figured for delivery in April and the delivery runs from about April 15 to the end of the month. In accepting contracts for short time or quick delivery, it is very often the case that this copper is "pinched out" as they say, of other long time delivery contracts. The appearance of stock in quanitties on the rallies is disconcerting to those who hope for higher prices. The balance of the argument just now is in favor of a continuance of a downward trend. The Union Pacific-Harri-man developments are bearish for the

moment, though ultimately they may

be considered in a far different light.

Considerable realizing will likely fol

low the announcement of an unchanged

Amalgamated dividend today, especial

ly as it is now known that requests for the postponement of copper deliveries have been made by import

ant consuming interests. The winter wheat position is by no means free from serious danger. The strength noted from time to time recently has been brought about almost entirely

bv short covering:. Consequently we

look for a continuance of the profes

sional tradintr today, with a downward

drift to prices, which will likely rule, with intermittent rallies on short cov

ering, until the market reaches levels

that will again attract investment buying in quantity or some new and

nowerful influence causes a' movement-

one way or the other. Consequently

we would buy stocks for turns only

on breaks. B. & O., L. & X.. Atlantic Coast Line, Northwestern, D. & H., may be purchased with comparative safety on moderate reactions but the Hill and Harriman stocks, St. Paul, Pennsylvania. Reading, X. Y. C, Steel common and Copper should be bought only on eevere setbacks. Canadian Pacific is still much too high and liquidation from abroad will cause a drop of 10 to 20 points provided the general market stays where it is. Don't buy Smelters at these prices.
