Public regulation of public service
corporations has come to stay. It
ought to have come and It ought to
stay. That is the flat and unequivocal
assertion ot Theodore N. Vail, presi-
dent of both the American Telephone
and Telegraph company and tbe
Western Union Telegraph company.
It came In the form of his annual re-
port to tbe seventy thousand stock-
holders of the two great corporations.
Although Mr. Vail's advocacy of full
publicity in connection with the affairs
of such concerns was well under-
! stood, nobody in financial circles had
anticipated so frank an avowal of
full public rights in the shaping of
their general conduct. It came conse-
quently as a surprise, not only be-
| cause of its novelty and squareness,
but also on account of the unqualified
acquiescence of a board of directors
comprising such eminent and conserv-
ative financiers as Robert Winson of
Kidder. Peabody & Co., and Henry L.
Higginson of Boston. Henry P. Davi-
son of J. P Morgan & Co.; Senator
W. Murray Crane. George F. Baer. T.
Jefferson Coolidge Jr.. Norman W.
Harris. John I. Waterbury and others.
President Vail’s declaration is her-
alded as the first recognition by those
in high corporate authority of the jus
j tice of the demand that the public
be regarded as virtual partners in all
matters tha* pertain to the common
welfare. He goes directly to the
point.
•Public control or regulation of
public service corporations by perma-
nent commissions." he says, "has
come and come to stay. Control, or
regulation, to be effective means pub-
licity; it means semi public discus-
sion and consideration before action;
ft means everything which is the op-
posite of and inconsistent with effec-
tive competition. Competition- ag-
gressive. effective competiiion means
strife, industrial warfare; It mean*
contention; it oftentimes means tak
ing advantage of or resorting to an?
meant) that the conscience of the con-
testatts or the degree of the enforce-
ment of the laws will permit.
“Aggressive competition means
duplication of plant and investment.
The jltimate object of such competi-
tion is the possession of the field
wholly or partially; therefore it
meaisB either ultimate combination on
such basis and with such prices as
will rover past losses, or it means
loss of return on investment, and
eventual loss of capital. However It
results, all ebsts of aggressive, un
controlled competition are eventually
borne, directly or indirectly, by the
public. Competition which is not ag
gressive. presupposes co-operative ac
tion, understandings. agreements,
which result in general uniformity or
harmony of action, which, in fact, Is
not competition but is combination
unstable, but for the time effective.
it will
be found that "control” will give
more of the benefits and public ad-
vantages, which are expected to be
obtained through such ownership, and
will obtain them without the public
burden of either the public office-
holder or public debt or operating
deficit.

cious state control and regulation all

A trial package of Munyon’s Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, 53d m

In need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will l»e treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care-
fully as though you had a personal inter*
view.
Munyon's Taw Taw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
x the liver into activity by gcntl#
methods. They do not scour, they d»
not gripe, they do not weaken, but they
do start ail the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most ail.
ments. There are 28 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with eonstipation or any liver
ailment can exiieet to have a clear
complexion or enjojT good health. If
1 had my way I would prohibit the sals
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
scum destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and to paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon’s Paw Paw Pills are a tonio
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood Instead of Impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

Metaphors of Millionaire Found No

The millionaire accepted the farm-

much scrambling gained a seat on top
of the hay.
"My good man,” said the millionaire,
patronizingly, “this swaying, rolling,,
sweet-scented divan is a couch upon
which I could win slumber and be ir-
resistible to the arms of Morpheus
whenever I courted sweet sleep."
The farmer stiffened. "I’ll hear no
more of your talk; I'm a respectable
married man, an’ I’ll ask you where
you're goin' so I can avoid the place.’"
Dreamily the millionaire smiled.
"I’m getting back to Mother Nature
who has been outraged and abused by
me for years; I am a broken man.

Unreliable Phyelognomy.
I am a profound disbeliever in phys
lognomy. Features are false wit

Men of genius invariably look like
idiots, and if you pick out the man
who looks most eminent in a party
you are sure to find he is a nobody.
I always distrust men who look mag
nifleent. Nature is a stingy creature.
She seldom gives a man the double
gift of being great and looking great.
