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 ganlznt'.C _ ni - _ g negation, for In private enterprise each umn has coma by a process of attrition to the place lie Is beat fitted to fill, while In government employ ment each msa L.-i Lis place irrespective of special fitness an<l tinder civil service is riveted there.— lion.

The reason why so few marriages tre happy is because young ladies fyend their time In making nets. oii In making cages.— JouathM ■wtti, v s •i'V • iffiMi’ ; j ’fc i MUMCIPUfICY, Edited by JOHN KENDRICK BANGS. .to to 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. to to 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 Kamirsteturing company, organized for no other purpoee than to put the small garbage producer set c£ bctlnee* and to secure the emoluments which be long to Red should therefore nccroe to the fcsad!* of the people themoelrefl? urks on, vrmeu. to •united tn CoJsA?, to not only noted as the high est lake in the United States, being 10£SS feet above the level of the exa, but also for tta fact that its water has a peculiar faculty foe petrifying eabataawes that are placed to !t- Ctotooge Becwrd-Uerald.
