Municipal Ownership.
A abort while ago a commlaalon
was *ent abroad, under the auspices
of the Civic Federation, to study mu
nicipal ownership In those cities of
Europe where that scheme la In work
in* operation. The chairman of that
comm Isa km la M. K. Ingalls, who la
known to the railroad world as presi
dent of the "Hl* Four." and to poli
tic* as a redoubtable champion of
Democracy.
Mr. Ingalls has Just returned from
his tour and he gives out the follow
ing statement:
"I am convinced that the re
port will be satisfactory to those
member* who started on the in
vestlgatlon heartily In favor of
municipal ownership, to those
who started out greatly opposed
to It. and to those of us who,
like myself, had not made up
their mind* cither way.''
In plain eipreaslon. Mr. Ingalls
gives us to understand that a com
promise has been reached and that
that will bt< the feature of the report
But. regardless of the forthcoming
report or of the effort to establish
municipal ownership hero In this
country there Is a genuine American
feeling to be conaldeisd, a sentiment
that finds Its risk Implanted in our
constitution and laws, and which will
not easily yield pin*’ to Innovations
of the sort sought for under tho guise
of municipal ownership.
The Industries ami the wealth of
this country have been built up
through personal, amt, for the most
part. Individual energy aud activity.
That these have. In the process of
thetr development, become aggies
slvely hostile and Inimical forces
there is no denying. Hut the respon

has been In the law and Its Adminis

Dominican Affairs.
The afttir* of (ho Utile Republic
of Fau>o Demin*.! sheer along
smoothly under * quasi government
despite the fan that the arrange
inem n; a lie by tho diplomat* of both
governments ha* thus far failed to
receive Lie formal «»netk»n of thl*
government, The treaty negotiated
and agreed upon, and according to
the fltlpnlations of which thi* coun
try take* over the financial admin
tratlon of Santo Domingo rt yarding
port due* and their disposition Is
still hun* up in the committee room
of the Senate.
According to the terms of that
treaty the United States government
appoint* the custom* officer* and
they make return* to Washington of
all revenue* received. Of these
sum* f.h per rent, le applied to the
liquidation of the pressing debts of
the trnplral republic and the remain
ing 40 per rent, la handed over to the
administration Itaelf to be used for
home purposes.
The arrangement ha* worked with
admirable satisfaction to the Domin
icans, The government at the capi
tal city. Ban fmmlftgo. has been In
receipt of more money by tbl* ar
rangement than heretofore when all
customs due* were collected by Ita
own official*. Hut there Is an ele
ment of dissatisfaction and that af
ford* light on the hesitancy of the
Senate to ratify the treaty.
The European powers, notably Ger
many, who have claims against that
republic are chafing under the delay
necessitated by the trust arrange
ment. ft Is within the realm of sane
probability that this discontent ts al
together due to the fact that an ul
timate purpose of eelxtir* has been
foiled. That Is the only rational In
terpretation of the distrust and com
plaint that appear. In the absence of
any other accounting thla ha* more
than probability to commend It. The
revenues collected are In safe hand*
and they will ultimately reach their
just destination, the procrastination
alone being the only pretense for dla
satisfaction.
Should this be the correct analyst*
of the situation It Illustrates the fact
that even foreign government* have
a pu.t In the Dnlted States Senate.
A Queer Blunder.
A queer blstndcr has been discov
ered In the weight* and measure*
law which wa* enacted for the Dis
trict of Columbia In the laat session
of th* Congress. It* effect Is to de
fsst the purpose Intended. This Is
the clsuse In which tho mistake oc
curs:
"No person shall sell or offer for
sale anywhere In the District of Co
lumbia any provision* or produce or
commodities of sny kjnd for a wetgnt.
or measure les* than the true weight
nr measure thereof."
’ihe Intent la plain. The law was
designed to prevent the giving of
short weight or measure. Moat per
son* reading the clause and not stop
ping to analyze Its construction
would probably fall to discover the
blunder.
But It will be readily perceived
| that the prohibition should have been
against selling good* for more than
Uhe true weight or measure thereof.
' Whoever drew the law had In mind
the shortage of weight nr measure to
be prohibited, and so carelessly wrote
iphs." To make that word servo
the Intended purpose, the wording of
the sentence would have had to be
rhanged very thoroughly.
The blunder watt brought to notice
when a huckster wan arraigned on
the charge that he had violated the
law hy selling chicken* whose true
welahl was less than that Indicated
hy the scale* he used.
Ill* lawyer, after careful reading
of Ihe law. pleaded for him that he
had not violated the letter of the law,
since he had sold the chickens for
morn than their true weight, Instead
of for less
,he court, feeling hound to Inter
pret ~ie law a* It wns written, al
though there could be no question
that thP Intent wa* the direct oppo
site of the letter, discharged the ac
cused.
I'ntll the Congress meets again,
ami correct* ll* mistake, "caveat
i-mptor" will be the motto of purchas
cr : ; In Washington.
A Cement A#c.
rlvin country t* entering upon a
cement age The growing scarcity of
lumber haa made the adoption of sub
st It tit i s, for atruetural pnrpoaea. a ne
eeaalty, and tt ha* he«'n found that for
many building* concrete la preferable
to brick or itonc In conjunction with
ft eel frames.
To what an extent cement has al
ii ady come Into u*e for building pur
puses can be seen from the tremen
ilons Increase In the production of
Portland cement. In IR3O, the total
output in the United States was only
t 1 non barrel! In 1905 It was 34,0(10,
thin barrels In the same period, ihe
pig Iron production increased from
P.SuO.OOO tons to 83.000,900 ton*.
The Manufacturera‘ Record." com
tuentlng on these figure*, says that In
addition to the general value to the
country of the development of such a
great industry with Its vast creation of
wt alth and of employment, there Is
the great specific value in the fact that
-It comes at such a fortunate time to
Mipplonii nt Iron and steel, and u*
help save American forest* from com
' plete destruction. As concrete has
Mtpplemented Iron, so has It helped
the lumber situation by coming into
many forms of construction where
j timber would otherwise have been os
| i-entlal. The demand for timber will
continue to increase to such an ex
I tent ns to endanger, even beyond what
,we have heretofore seen, our forest
Interest*, and hut for cement this con
dition would become far worse. This
Industry, therefore, ha* not only the
value of a new creation of vast ex
tent to Its credit, but the Immeasur
able valu* of a substitute, with Iron
and steel, for lumber. Cement ha*
come In a* an auslllary to help main
tain our vast building activity.
66,000 Per Cent Profit.
President W. F. Lyons, of the Cen
tral Ice Company trf Kansas City,
frankly admitted, on the witness
stand In proceedings against the Ice
trust of that city, that In 1900 he went
Into the Ice business with a capital
of sfl(H), cleared $48,000 In the follow-
Ing year, and now own* a plant valued
at 1400,000.
He can see nothing wrong about a
business from which he got more than
HO,OOO per cent profit In sis year*. He
even expressed the opinion that the
price of lc* should be higher than
It Is.
This shows the effect which the
succesful practice of extortion upon
the public ha* upon the minds of
some persons. Because they encoun
ter no obstacle* for a time, they be
lieve that what they are doing Is en
tirely legitimate. Borne stern enforce
ment of law Is obviously necessary
to dispel their delusion.

Hit* the Workers.
(Buffalo Times.)
An employe of one of the Chicago
parking houses recently wrote a letter
to Cpton Hlnrlalr, author of "The
Jungle," telling him how the change
In conditions resulting from his ex
posure of the packers' Iniquity affects
the working forces. He says:
"As usual, the poor workingman,
get* the worst of It. They have taken
away th* old aprons and overalls from
the men —the mens own property,
mind you—and destroyed them and
compelled the men to buy new. That
Is almost Impossible, as this Is the
slack season and most of the men are
not making enough to live on.”
The letter then tells how of 54 pay
envelopes gathered up the highest was
for $7.70 and the lowest. 71 cents, the
average being $2.82. The writer goes
on;
"And the men who have to keep
families on this have to get all clean
clothes. Some of the brighter men
understand your motive, but most of
them curse you. • • • Can you
not write a letter to some paper ex
plaining that you did not mean to
harm the men?"
Packlngtown presents a human
problem as well as a meat problem.
The packers through their tool* in
congress put the expense of inspection
on the people, raise the price of meat
to consumers to pay the expense of
cleaning up and make good their loss
of trade, and not content with all that
they saddle the cost of new aprons
and overalls on their employes.
Another Useless Railroad Rebate De
cision.
(New York American.)
Pity the sorrows of the Chicago
and Alton Railway, ft has been
found guilty of violating the law and
giving rebates to the "8. & 8. Co.”
whose yellow cars of Jungle beef are
a prominent feature.
In two counts the railroad was
fined $40,000. Being rather large for
Incarceration, the road rotild not he
taken into physical custody, and
there seemed to be no desire to Im
prison Its officials.
In the end the $40,000 will be paid
by shippers over the road—those who
did not get rebates, and were there
fore not parties to the crime, being
first to suffer. As for the railroad and
Its officers they will not seek a new
way to evade the law.
The prosecution of the Alton road
was conducted under the old. or so
called. Elkins law. But tho new rate
law is no more effective than the old
one. Senator \a Follette, the best
equipped man to judge of its merits,
Is systematically attacking in In pub
lic speeches all over the land.
Really effective legislation for the
control of railroads Is still a thing of
the future.
Wealth Inconceivable.
(New York World.)
In neither this nor any other coun
try. from the time when nations first
were founded, had last year's bumper
crops ever been paralleled. They are
paralleled now in the July crop re
j port, which partly reveals and in part
promises an equally Inconceivable
'mass of perishable wealth.
Porn promises a crop only 4,000.-
000 bushels behind last year's huge
record of 2.708.000.000 bushels. Po
tatoes. oats and barley are likely to
; he somew hat below last year, but
wheat, much of which Is already
harvested, may go beyond the record
by 30.000.000 bushels. This mere ex
cess alone would fill a bln 400 feet In
, height covering the Madison Square
Garden block.
The four great farm crops of corn,
hay, w heat and oats named In the or
der of their gross value, will probably
be worth this year some $3,750,000.-

In Ihe 414 years since Columbus
found the new continent would buy
but four such crops.
Sure Way to Get Bait.
From the Minneopolis Journal.
The boy wanted some worms for
bait. He had selected a promising
spot, a shady and low-lying dell, but
though he had been digging now for
fifteen minutes, not a single worm
had hia spade turned up.
“Here, sonny," said an old angler,
I "take thta chunk of soap and make
j me a quart or two of soapsuds."
The boy brought the suds, the old
man sprinkled them over the ground.
I and then he in turn began to dig. It
was amazing. Here where the boy
before had not found a single worm
the old man now discovered them in
doieus.

Magic Spring In the Philippines.
From the New York Press.
I see they are having another touch
of the cholera In Manila. I wonder
If another magic spring is the cause
of it. When I paid my fleeting visit
to the Philippines several years ago
the health authorities of Manila were
having hard work trying to convince
the natives they had not been wrong
ed cruelly by the closing up of a mar
velous spring that had bubbled up
clear as crystal on the beach below
high water mark when the tide was
out. The natives used to fill bottles
and Jars with the water and drink of
It In the fixed belief that it not only
would cure various diseases, but
would assist the drinkers In getting
Into heaven. I have no doubt It did
help many of them along that route
for there are many good Filipinos,
and the miraculous spring was the
mouth of a sewer that had become
overlaid with beach sand and mud,
up through which the sewage strain
ed itself.
Mrs. Thaw's Serious Poses Best,
From the Philadelphia Record.
A professional model of this city
who has not yet successful in marry
ing a millionaire says of Evelyn Nes
bit Thaw, whom she knew here dur
ing her days of posing, that it wag
the girl's ideal beauty more than any
ability which made her so much In
demand as a model. “She could get
all the serious expressions," says this
authority, "such as sadness, appeal,
meditation, and the like, without
trouble, but when it came to trying
for gayety she was a failure, and her
smile, unless a very slight one, was
apt to look silly. All the artists and
photographers knew this, and that Is
why you see more serious than smil
ing pictures of her. She could smile
and be gay in real life, but her at
tempts before the camera were never
satisfactory.”
City of London Churches.
From the Sunday Strand.
Within the narrow limits of the
city of London, with Its mere hand
ful of residents—only sufficient to
people a small provincial town —
there are still so many churches that
you might worship in a different one
every Sunday of the year without
putting foot inside them all. Within
the Rural Deanery of the East City
there are today no fewer than ten
churches, each of which ministers to
a population of less than two hun
dred. The aggregate number of par
ishioners Is 1,473. while the churches
have accommodation for 2.750. thus
providing almost two seats for every
possible worshipper, including the in
fants in arms.
The Town Went Harvesting.
(From the Kansas City Journal.)
At Garden Plain, Sedgwick County,
rafter a suspension for three days,
business was resumed on June 1.
From Tuesday night not a store in
the town was opened until Saturday
evening. Every merchant went Into
the harvest fields Wednesday morn
ing to help the farmers save their
grain. Not half a dozen persons were
left In town. The stores did such a
thriving business that merchants say
they are satisfied more money has
been spent than would have been had
they kept open the three days. Farm
| ers came from miles around to pur
