RETURN THE WIRES.
Tho papxemo court decision that
Secretary Burleson may ilx tele
phono and telegraph rates without
regard to atato public sorvlco com
missions Is merely another reason
why tho war emergency legislation,
on which tho decision Is based
should bb' repealed by Congress as
Boon as possible. Tho function of
tho public service commission Is to
stand between. tho-pcoplo and tho
public utility. To ono It assures
proper servico; Jastand equal rates,
impartiality" arid "correct business
methods; to tho other a fair return
on its investment.
Probably It was necessary for the
government to take over tho different
classes of land wire service, as nuth
orlied by tho war-tlmo legislation,
nnd if, as a result, tho ordinary func
tions of tho public service commis
sions wore suspended, wo would not
complain. Dut now that tho war is
over and tho emergency passed wo
can and do complain if tho needs of
a war tlmo situation aro to bo carried
over Into times of peaco and efforts
made by tho autocratic' Burleson to
take advantage of tho Supremo court
decision merely to carry out his own
unreasonable will.
Tho way to avoid this Is to return
tho wires tp tho operating companies.
who have- said that thoy "rend ovory
nnmo.'
Somo BUggost thnt tho list was
pubilshod by us in malice, bocuuso
wo expected thnt to mnko It public
would cull so troublo for tho.su whoso
nnmos wore Included. That is not
so, nor did tho publication mean
troublo thnt would not hnvo como
had tho list not been published. Tho
recall petition, duly fllod In tho of
fice At tho clerk of tho school board,
was a mutter of public record, open
to tho Inspection of anyone, nnd
available to any who wished "to
mnko troublo" for those whoso names
woro on it.
However, thnt Is not tho important
thing which has been brought out
by tho publication of tho list. The
Important thing Is tho fact that a
largo number of those who signed
tho petition aro now explaining why
they did so, nnd tho explanation in
every caso amounts to this: that
they did ntt know just what they
woro signing. Somo say that thoy
woro misled. Others signed "to
please someone" And it Is these
peoplo who, seeing their nnmos in
print as desirous of recalling Mr.
Johnson, feel aggrieved bvenuso, as
a matter of fnot, they did not sign
with thnt deslro.
Lot us repeat that tho list was
published as news, and for no other
purpose Tho publication has
brought out again, howovcr, tho fact
that peoplo sign petitions when they
really have no Interest in them nnd
when they do not know what they
are signing. If they really meant
what their signatures indicated they
could not object to tho publication
of their names; if thoy did not mean
it they should not havo signed.

THAT LIST OF NAMES.
From various quarters como re
ports to Tho Bulletin that many of
fVe-jfebplo who signed tho Johnson
recall patition are aggrieved because
their names were published In tho
paper last "week. In fact, so much
has been said that wo feel it proper
to refer to tho matter here.
In "the first place It should be
understood that the names were pub
lished in the paper strictly as a
matter, of news. Tnnt ,s whnt a
newspaper is always seeking news,
"and that list of names was an ex
tremely interesting piece of news, as
Is indicated by tho great number
When tho German delegates call

erable there comes to mind the pic
ture of the Delglnn husband forced
to stand by while his Wife was rav
ished and then mndo to dig his own
grave, or tho picture of tho little
boy who saw his parents shot befoVo
his eyes, tho women of Lille, ordered
from their 'homes on n few hours'
notice and deported to slavery, the
countrysldo of Poland, strewn with
the cradles of Infanta, abandoned by
their parents, the wastes of Armqnla
reddened with tho blood of the mar
tyrs, the dead of tho Lusltania and
the Laconla, Captain Fryatt and
Edith Cnvell. But why go on? Is
only Germany to say that war Is
tolerable and peaco Intolorable?
