ORE. ■ The American publie Is mors In tensely opposed to Government opera tion than it was a year ago, according to the newspaper editors of tbs coun try. Out of 5,154 editors replying to a questionnaire sent out by the Press Service Company of New York, 4,406, or 86 per cent, gave it as their judg ment that the people of their commu nities were overwhelmingly against the Government competing tn business with Its own citizens. In 1919 the Press Service Company conducted a similar canvass of editors ou the government operation of rail roads. That questionnaire showed that 83 psr eent of ths editors considered their communities against Govern ment operation of public utilities. Apparently, then, if editors estimate public opinion accurately, that opin ion In a year, considered by commu nities, has swung 3 per cent farther away from socialistic experiments. * Eleven Million Circulation. The combined circulation of the pa pers whose editors replied is 11,428, 817, which means, according to the usual estimated ratio between circula tion and readers, a constituency of at least 44,000,000. And this constituen cy is pretty evenly scattered through- out the country, no considerable sec tion of any stats being unrepresented. The estimate of opinion based on this thoroughly diffused 44 per cent of ths country's population may, therefore, bs considerad a fair representation of the people as a whole. ( Another feature of the result Is Its evident lack of partisan bias. The major political affiliations of the pa- pars represented ara fairly evenly di- vided, being 1,857 Republican and 1,850 Democratic. There are also 1,485 independent and 462 miscellaneous, including labor organs, etc. How little the results are affected by the politice of the papers la shown In an analysis by sections. In ths Southern section, for instance, where replies came from 65 Republican pa pere and 389 Democratic, the per centage against Government operation was 88; in the Great Lake section, with conditions reversed, 478 Repub lican and 155 Democratic, the oppo sition was 87 per csnt Replies from ths West, Middle West and Southwest show that it is a mis- taks to consider those sections vastly mors favorable to radical Government experiments than the East Ths rad icals can get little comfort out of ths 89 psr csnt of thumbs down—2 psr csnt above ths average— in ths South west, including Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Tex- as. Texas, ones supposed to be much given to Government regulation ex perimenta, returned 92 per cent of un favorable replies. Out of the 244 edi tore replying from that state only throe edited Republican papers. Ths 82 per cent opposition of the North- west, Including Iowa, Minnesota, Mon tana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming, and the 83 per cent veto of the Far West group, in cluding Arizona, California Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Colo rado, Utah and Washington, are sig nificant of the prevailing conservative sentiment on this question even in ths mors radicalesections Judgment Apparently Unbiased. The questionnaire closes with a re- quest for ths editor’s personal opin ion on certain concrete cases as fol lows: “Do you personally believe that the Federal Government should own and operato competitive industries to pro- vide: (a) Fertilizer? (b) Clothing? (c) Automobiles? (d) Farm imple- manta? (a) Foodstuffs? Substantially all the editore who gave estimates of their readers’ opin ions also exprsssed their own by re- plying to this last question. Proof of considerable effort to avoid personal bias la found In the fact that In many casse the editor differed from the opinion ho credited to his community. Ths percentage of “nos" ran: (a) 76; (b) 88; (c) M: (d) 82; (o) 79. While ths questions wsrs based on general principles involved in ths Government participating In competi tiva business, the so-called Muscle Shoals Bill now before Congress was ussd as a concrete example of a Gov- ernment operation Scheme. Under this bill a Government-owned corporation would bo given broad powers to oper ate and develop Government plants and properties. It would produce a Muscle Shoals various fertilizer prod acts and sell them In competition with producers and merchants in ths fer tillzer business. The strength of the opposition to Government operation is Indicated by the replies from Alabama, where the Muscle Shoe Is wer plant la and where, of course, there Is Intense Interest and local pride tn getting its expected peace-time operation under way et the earliest possible date. Fifty editora from that state replied, of whom 88 were opposed to Government opera- lion, 8 la favor and 4 doubtful. Place de la Concorde Enriched by Works of Art of Country's Great- Mt Sculptors. The dreams of many men of genius have gone into the making of the Place de la Concorde, m Paris. Ga briel, the architect, constructed the pavilions and balustrades. The eques trian statue of Louis XV, which stood, in the square until the Revolution, was the work of Bouchardon. Pigalle. one of his contemporaries, surround ed this statue with figures emblematic of Strength, Wisdom. Justice and Peace. The square received Its pres ent form in 1854 from designs by Hittorf. The great statues of the cities were made by four famous French sculptors, each of whom did two figures. At the entrance to the Champs | Elysees, which forms the western boundary of the place, are the famous “Horses of Marly,” by Guillaume Coustou. and at the eastern side at the entrance to the Garden of the Tuileries, are the “Renommees' of Coyzevoz—Mercury and Fame be- Vote for J.

The stained-glass representation of the “Pedlar and his Dog,” to which attention has been directed by the dis covery of a boundary stone of “Ped lar’s Acre,” on the site of the new county hall, was removed, owing to the alleged Incongruity of Introducing the figure of a dog tn a church window, says the Westminster Gazette. Quite recently Chancellor Prescott of Carlisle refused a faculty a stained- glass window In a Westmoreland church because the design included a dog; and perhaps the only existing ex ample of dogs used for ecclesiastical decorations are to be found in Lord Brownlow's private chapel at Ash- bridge. In this church one stained-glass window depicts Tobias and Sara In bed and a dog sleeping on the quilt, while in another window Job Is shown being mocked by three men, one of whom Is holding a dog by a chain.
