You Cannot Fool All of tho Pooplo All
of tho Tima.
The recent condemnation aa unfit for
farther aerrlce of a number of gae and
electric light plants and the cloalng
down of aorae of them at a dead Iota
to the taxpayer, should serve aa a
warning toother cities, for this la tho
fato that la likely to overtake all such
plants In tho long ran. For this first
year or two, when no expensive re
pairs are needed and the plant Is thor
oughly up to date. It ought not to be
difficult to make a good showing. For
a few years longer the bad bookkeep
ing and Inadequate reports, that are
unfortunately the rale rather than tho
exception, may blind the cltlxens to
the deterioration of the plant and. to
lta Increasing losses. But the day of
reckoning Inevitably comes when
breakdown, bad service or demand for
new equipment that cannot masquer
ade as '‘extensions” causes an Investi
gation, and then It becomes evident
that the plant lias been a losing prop
osition slmoat from'the start No plant
should be accepted as evidence of sue-
cessful municipal management until It
baa' been operated' fer several years
and then examined by expert englnesra
and accountants.

AN ENDORSEMENT.
Dr. Miller la Pleased With Municipal
OwnrrslUp of Light Plant.
Tlmes-Enterprlse:
■' After reading the most excellent
report as to the results for eleven
months of municipal management of
the electric light plant, permit me,
who earnestly labored for municipal
ownership to say to our entire City
Council and his honor the Mayor,
"Well done,'good and faithful ser
vants."
The present administration has
been characterised by sound bnslness
management. The results not only In
the light plant, but also in the exten
sion of our sewerage system, and the
sueeeeaful management of the street
paving for next year, In our humble
opinion, force upon us the conclu
sion that no better set of men can be
selected to conduct the city’s busi
ness. than, those who have done so
well this fear, Their familiarity
with'these new public works gives
them a decided advantage over any
one else, and It duty well and faith
fully discharged has In It any merit,
an approving public opinion should
return all of these gentlemen to
sound! next year.
At S’ local government board inquiry
held at West Bam, London, to sanction
the'borrowing by (be corporation of
auvior doctrlclty.exteuslons It was
stated that tbs electrical undertaMog
up to the present had resulted Is a loss
of £7.200. which had been charred to
the rates. The. Inspector pointed out
that lohns 6f some thousands of pounds

Farther Though!* on tho Cow and
the No-Fence law,
Were It possible to have a no-fence
law In this country, then Brother It
Is. time to begin operations on this
line.
The Country Cow.
Would It be right to do away with
the cow, let the town grow up la
Bermuda grass, and Impound the
farmer's cow, charging - his fifty
.ents a day, until he gets her out?
I ray no.
Yard Fences.
If we do away with cow privileges
here are numbers of our cltlsen
waiting -to do away with their yard
fences and lay them off with a hol
low pipe or a row of brick bats.
Bitter WCeda.
Some one says the weeds make the
milk bitter. The God of Nature in
bla all-wise providence made nothing
but for a good purpose. In these
weeds Re has put something for our
good, and there are two weeks in
June when we are deprived of milk
unless we keep our cows up, until
these weeds their flowers nnfold.
Eight Dollars Per Month
Is what it coats to keep your cow
!n a barn yard, but It you let her
out on the Bermuda the cost Is only
82 per month.
Eat Waste Vegetables.
The cows eat the waste vegetables.
Otherwise they would decay, pro
duce typhoid fever, and twenty
wagon loads dally would be tossed
out on our streets during the sum
mer months. So with these few re
marks we will In poetry close.
And Say—
Go sell that cow that picks your
lock, and turns the yearlings In,
To swipe your flowers and nip the
grass from off your yard so clean.
No. let’* retract, let’s keep that
cow, for fear we make another trip,
and pack her safe wlthia our grip,
for fear we are locked within.
We hare but Just to look around
on old one horn Sarah Jane, and
whisper gently In her ear "this lock
Is but a Yale.”
When out she leaps and with her
nose she gives a gentle smell, and
with her head she given a ahake and
aets us free again.
So no policeman- we disturb, nor
raise no noise within, and say come
on Sarah Jane we need your wlta
again.
Now brother come on hand In
hand. Lets keep our gates as law
demands, and we will see our yards
entwined with roses red and violets
fine. ' j '.
Lots stop brother, and" we will

All Right In Theory, but Breaks Down
. In Practice.
Theoretically there is so much in
municipal ownership of public utilities
that the practical carrying out. of lta.
attractive featqrcs appears simple and
of no Bcrloua moment, and for a mu
nicipality to take over and ran wnter,
lights, sewerage and even transporta
tion appeals to taxpayers, and the
trade Is made without the first nssur-
ancojliat the conduct of these proper-
Ues will be along practical and buel-
lines.
It Is the failure to assure the prac
tical that works the evil, for municipal
ownership Is a general 1 ownership, and
a general ownership results toe easily
In Its being no special business of any
cltlsen or taxpayer to look Into or In
quire after (the conduct of the proper
ties under control. This leaves the
management to a few, who soon find
that they have only themselves to ac
count to, that people are too busy to
demand accountings and taxpayers
accept any kind of report. Just
so there is the appearance of all being
right and light, water, sewerpge, etc.,
ate given.
It Is this indifference and neglect on
the part of taxpayers to take note of
mnnlclpal affairs which make munic
ipal ownership of pubtfl utilities a
hsxardons and expensive matter. The
theory of mnnlclpal ownership, with
lta great saving to each taxpayer, the
extra service given and the great prof
it! resulting, can all be placed in fig
ures beforehand,- but It Is a failure un-
lesl tbe taxpayers shall give earnest
and serious heed to the conduct of
these public utilities, for unless this Is
done they will wake up some day with
broken down properties and a big bond

THE GREAT TRANSITION.
Publlo Property Wasted Beeauee “It
Coats Nothing, You Know.”
“Hello!" said I. “Whafa that?" And
I stopped to pick It np. *
“That?” replied tho boy who happen
ed to be passing through the school
yard with me. “That Is nothing but •
lead pencil.”
“Bat It Is a whole one,” said I, “and
wlJJj a rubber on tho end£
“I know It.” said the boy.
"What 1 Do you mean to .tell me that
you have seen this hero before?"
“Yes, everybody's soon It”
“All the children In your school have
seen this lying here day after day and
not one hoy has picked It np?”
“Of course. Whnt should we pick
It up for? There's plenty In the school-
house. Tbe town buys 'em."
And I had been given n text for n
long meditation. Not pick np a whole
new lead pencil? And a pencil with •
rubber on Itl
When I waa a boy we prised even
slate pencils. A boy who hooked any
body’s slate pencil wes baited until be
gave It up, lAit a lead pencil—wo fought
for lead pencils as the Greeks and
Trojans fought for Helen. We scoured
the countryside for old horseshoes to
sell to the blacksmith for money enough
to buy a lead pencil, and, having It,
we cut our private mark on It, guarded
It, kept It ae oar last resource In trade.
Many a time a precious two Inch lead
pencil has turned an Important Jack
knife trade one way or the other. I
never had but one lead pencil at a time
and very often hardly that until I was
fifteen years old. And these ten-year-
olds scorn to pick up a whole one with
rubber! Think of Itl The- best
eraser I had was a piece of rubber
