Tha Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of GRAfI INJHGUNU. Perhaps Not So Great In Extent as Here, but Yet Well Started. The Operation of Publio Utilities by Public Officials Has Placed Them Under Bueh Temptations as They Have Never Before Known—Why They Are Not Exposed. There is nothing about the visiting American in England more amusing to the native than the American’s convic tion that there is no graft iu English municipal politics. Frederick C. Howe, the magaziuist who writes go much In praise of munic ipal ownership, the British form of socialism, admits that there is graft iu England, but says It Is all practiced by the lords and millionaires. No graft, he declares, lias crept I through the municipal ownership and operation of public utilities. “Graft in England may not be of such magnitude as In the United States,” said an Englishman who is well known iu public life, but is neither n lord nor a millionaire, “but it exists here as certainly us it does ih America. It is carried on along similar lines, nnd, fos tered by the opportunities which the rising tide of municipal trading affords, it is rapidly growing in magnitude. It is owing to our overstrlct libel laws and to the fact that immunity may not be granted under English law* to one who confesses to accepting a bribe that the corruption now so well known to exist iu our municipal governments has not been effectively expand long ago. “The newspapers know all about it, and they know who are the grafters, but they do not dare to expose the sit uation, and until the proper statutes are enacted it will be almost impossi ble to punish grafters through the courts. “Not so very long ago a certain speech was reported in one of the Loudon newspapers. The specchmak er was indignant, for neither the sub ject matter of the speech nor the cir cumstances under which it was deliv ered were creditable to him, and he brought a suit for damages on the ground that the libel laws had been violated. It was not claimed that the speech was incorrectly reported; in deed, it was admitted that the report was substantially without error, yet nevertheless heavy damages were awarded to the plaintiff on the grounds that the plaintiff’s reputation had been injured und that the publisher could not show that the publication of the report was of benefit to the public. “A little longer ago it was suspected that members of the council of London borough of Poplar had been accepting bribes from contractors who were fur bishing materials and supplies. Detec tives were put upon the case, and the facts were run down. Certain of the contractors and councilmen, confront ed with these facts, confessed and promised to go upon the stand in court and testify to the truth. In due time one of the guilty men took the stand as promised and told the story as agreed. “Tie was immediately arrested as a criminal under the law as its stands and dated for an early trial. This chilled the enthusiasm of the others who had promised to confess, and they changed their minds promptly and Ir revocably. As the prosecution was thus left without witnesses, the Inves tigation was brought to an abrupt close. “Now, the installation and operation of tramways, electric light works, gas works, etc., involves the letting of many large contracts by men who hold places In the municipal councils, not Ixkcause they are fitted by training and experience to let such contracts, but because they have succeeded through • c’.ly politics in yetting elected. They receive no pay for their service i and pj umnv cases are men viihout finan cial resources of any consequence. “There are contractors In England ns veil as In America who are not above getting contracts through brib crv. and there are council members of the prr.de I have mentioned who are no more aide to resist 'lie temptation to he bribed in England than they would be in America. If It would not sound unpatriotic, I might go so far ns to say that since municipal trading has so increased the magnitude of munici pal eont’gKds Englishmen in many cit ies have tx*en known to seek election to the councils In order to have the chance to be bribed. “We could today make exposures of graft in London and more than one other English city that would startle American renders even, accustomed ns they are to reading graft stories, if we could only give immunity to whoever might be either scared or reasoned into confessing the truth. In other words, municipal ownership and operation of public utilities in England are rapidly honeycombing all our municipal gov ernments with graft. “The law makes an exception with regard to election bribery charges, and immunity may lawfully be promised to tLpso,whose, testimony is needed to cornet the guilty. This has enabled us iu uiieaiiu many eie_uun uuegutui lties, as the readers of English news papers know very well, and eventually we are going to be able to unearth the facts with regard to bribery nnd Job bery in English municipal administra tion. We are well aware, however, that it will probably be quite as diffi cult to job as It was thirty odd years ago in America to unearth the frauds I>erpetrated by New* York’s notorious Tweed ring.” Nothing has yet been discovered that thoroughly takes the place of the stim ulus of profit; In carrying on any busi ness establishment.—Exchange. . DINGENDjEFER TALKS, Concludes That Companies Are Preferable to Cities. j When a Newspaper Criticises a Com pany It Yields “Quicker Than You Can Say Jack Robinson,” but City Authorities Feel Secure In Their Places and Do Nothing. It will be remembered that som® nine or ten months ago Mr. Dingen diefer burst from the obscurity in which, ns a simple clarinet player In the orchestra of a Manhattan the ater, he had been enveloped and flashed upon the Brooklyn public as a redeemer of Its right to cross the Brooklyn bridge at night without clambering up and down the long, irk some flights of stairs lending to nnd from the elevated structures. In otl'.er words, It was Mr. Dingen diefer who, through the columns of the Eagle, made It clear to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company that the di&- eoutlnued night service of trolley car# across the bridge ought to be resumed. It was in this page of history that Mr. Dingendiefer alluded in the following remarks which he made concerning municipal ownership of public utilities: “I dink ve soom preddy goot lesson* nlreutty got about dot moonlzlbal own ershlb dings.

The plant was to have been run by water power, but has not been a success. The builders claim thut this is due to in adequate power and not to Improper installation, as claimed by the borough authorities, and the decision apparent ly supports their claim. The situation la a serious one, as the borough Is small, and the plant cannot be operat ed advantageously until a large addi tional expenditure bus been made. awo tnousnnu nine nuuarea silk worms are required to produce ou© pound of silk, but it takes 27,000 spi der# to produce one pound of web.
