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.

Animal’s Representation Has
Been Frowned Upon.
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.
