can get your hat to you before twelve o’clock Saturday night:

POINTS OF DIFFERENCE.
Public and Private Methods Contrast
ed —Organization vs. Aggregation.
One controlling economic reason for
opposing public ownership is that ev
ery Individual In society prospers just
In proportion as Industry gets the best
there Is In human capability. On (he
ether hand, government control and di
m-lion never get anil In the nature of
tliMgs never can get all there is or the
b®; there Ts in human capability.
Now the government may compete
with private enterprise In getting ca
pable men, but It Ims not thus far
shown anything of the capacity of a
privateenterprlse to assign the right
m:ta always to the right place. The
agency which In private enterprise
succeeds so generally in eventually
landing in the right place the right
nun Is not simply good Intention or
mere Intelligence, but the Intelligence
ami Intention which constantly study
th* enterprise In hand, which make It
the one affair In life, constantly
thought of aud planned for—an Intelli
gence and intention, too, which are
themselves as nearly as possible per
manent. That kind of seeking,out and
watchfulness few government depart
ments possess. The men in charge of
government departments may l>e intel
ligent anl well intentioned, but they
are In today and out tomorrow. The
thing under them Is not their child.
They never, as a matter of fact, get
their hands and their minds fully into
the work.
N’or will civil service change this.
service examinations may secure
capable men, but no civil service ex
amination can assign the right man to
the right place, can pick out of the
thousand capable n**a Just tbe kind of
’•'ability that Is fitted to this plac-w
..uu just the kind that to fitted to that
Indeed, between government control
and private control the difference in
that respect is almost the exact differ
ence

to fill, while In government employ

A sarcastic correspondent, who has
read recently that the operating ex
penses of the Lakewood (O.) electric
light plant show a cost of $129.36
per arc, writes to ask how this com
pares proportionately to the expense
of running Noah’s ark. The question
is respectfully referred to the Union
Theological seminary. We frankly
confess that we do not know the an
swer.

People who live in glass houses
•hould not throw stones. A James
town (N. Y.) man, who complained re
cently that the municipally owned
electric lights of that town were fre
quently out all night was laughed out
of court because he had to confess
that he was often out all night him
self.
to to
One-flfth of the garbage of the city
of Now York is consumed daily in op
erating the electric lighting plant by
which the Williamsburg bridge is il
luminated, a mile and a half long. or.
counting both roadways, three miles.
This means that only 2 per cent of
New York’s 900 miles of street light
ing could be provided for if all the
garbage available were used for that
purpose. If. therefore, as has been ad
vocated, the public buildings and thor
oughfares should be lighted by elec
tricity secured through the burning of
this commodity, it is surely up to the
loyal citizens of New York to produce
more garbage than they do at present.
It is to be boned that this hint will be
sufficient to Induce the taxpayers to
net, for. If they do not. who knows
how long It will be before the city
finds itself at the mercy of an un-
- nrlvately owned garbage

no other purpoee than to put the small
