THE AMERICAN IDEA.
Individualism the Keynote of Our
National Success.
Charles L. Edgar and Walton Clark of
the National Civic Federation Com
mission on Municipal Ownership Show
Why Amorioan institution* Should
Not Bo Abandoned at the Demand of
Socialists and Munioipalizera.
The efforts of the Nntlonnl Civic fed
erntion have resulted In a commission
of .Americans whoso first interest In
this Investigation, as in all else, is to
do what they may to preserve and con
tinue the American idea and American
institutions, believing tbut the high
state of civilization and prosperity
in America Justifies the American ideu
and the American method and places
tli burden of proof heavily upon those
who would say another idea and an
other method would result in Improve
ment in the condition of the i>eople.
Believing this to l>e the thought and
Intent of the membership of the com
mission and of the committee subor
dinate to it, we still believe thut there
are ills in the American body politic
that may be remedied or cured. We
believe that tbe remedy should Is* ap
plied and the cure effected without any
unnecessary departure from the Amer
ican Idea and the American system.
We believe that tbe framework upon
which may be built purity of adminis
tration and the highest possible good
of the citizens is in existence with us
and that it is not necessary In the ef
fort to cure the ills from which the
body politic may be suffering to de
stroy that body. We submit that, liv
ing In a land where peace and pros
perity nr< the common lot, ve must be
very cautious of change. This doe*
not mean that where abuses are found
to exist th<should not !>e prompt!;
and mercilessly eradicated, but It does
mean that changes in system should
undertaken only : fter conclusive
proof that such change* will revolt in
bettering tbe condition of the Individ
ual. We had better bear the relative
ly few ills we have than subject our
selves t/> unknown conditions that may
bring In their train greater ills of
which tve do not know.
Onr Investigation has determined
with certainty many heretofore mooted
questions. It indicates tbe probably
correct answers to other mooted ques
tions. Where tb** fn/'ts are clear and
the conclusion evident our task has
been to summarize and Indicate. Where
there is remaining uncertainty as to
fact-y.ond conclusions, ora not nvkimt
we have made as effitrf to deferrals*
the probabilities. This bus resulted la
arguments based on such facts as our
Investigators have recorded and on our
own experience as operators and ob
servers.
We believe no Intelligent render of
the voluminous record of this commis
sion’s work will fall to conclude that It
clearly proves municipal ownership to
be productive of many and serious Ilia,
with little or no compensating good.
The writers of these chapters, agree
ing, we believe, with tbo other members
of the committee of twenty-one, that
public service companies should reason
ably be regulated and afforded the pro
tection that comes with regulation and
appreciating that the committee was
not appointed or constituted to consider
methods of regulation, nevertheless de
sire to record their opinion that some
form of regulation of private com
panies should be adopted In each at
the United States. What that form
should be this commission Is not pre
pared by any Investigation or any
study it lias made to suggest.
Finally, we who stand In opposition
to municipal ownership, speaking, we
believe, for all Individualists, arraign
the arrogance of many of Its advocatea
la assuming that they exclusively oc
cupy the field of reform In dealing
with tbo problems concerned and that
they are the solo promoters of meas
ures of economic Improvement la mu
nicipal nffalrs. We assert that the op
ponents of municipal ownership and
operation, firm and consistent support
ers of Justice, are the class seeking tbs
public welfare intelligently and in ac
cordance with American principles. On
this point we do not yield to any body,
of men.
We seek, ns a first principle, to in
sure every man his own. In doing so
and in endeavoring to protect the pub
lic against oppression and error ws
find It our duty to demonstrate the *•
rors lu the schemes of municipalised
nnd Socialists and to warn against the
oppression that they threaten. Wo are
resisting efforts to put burdens on tbs
bucks of the American people. We can
not nnd will not rcmuln silent whilo
the attempt is made to thrust costly
nnd Impracticable project* upon cus
tomers of public service corporation*
nd upon the public nt large.
We know the truth will out. We are
confident tbut ultimately the America*
people must uppreclot* at their vatu*
the unsoundness of the arguments at
the municipal Socialists. We shall at#
In hastening the day when our fellow
citizens will know through discussion
iv lint th<* public of London have bceia
vaught by bitter experience. lndou
has • wnkeued to the perils of munici
palization, na la evidenced by Itu ver
dict lu the recent borough and county
elections. In thnt groat city the munic
ipalizes have led their fellow citizen*
astray, and their dupes, finding It out;
have administered to their false guide*
un overwhelming rebuke.
We individualists are not seeking to
load the people In strange paths. Our
ului is to keep them in the paths they
hava heretofore trod paths well
known, nlong which the American peo
ple have inarched to heights of pros
perity and civic development; not
Humorous Poachers.
A Frencli provincial paper has a
story of u gntnekaeper who, going his
round one night, saw a poacher and
pursued him, blit lost him on the high
way in the darkness. Boon u motor
car came up, und the keeper accepted
an offer from the occupants to get in
for the purpose of following the poach
er. But nothing could Is? seen of the
culprit, and when the keeper asked
to lie let down there was a burst of
laughter and an intimation be would
find himself in Paris before morning.
In the twilight the motor stopped iu
the Place de la Concorde, the keeper
was thrown out, and the party—which,
of course, included tbe poacher drove
nway. The unlucky keeper had to
his gun to pay bis train fare back.
Women Nanaelesc In Korea.
The Korean woman has not even a
name. In her childhood she twelves
a nickname by which she Is known in
the family and by her near friends,
but which when she arrives at matu
rity is employed only by her parents.
To all other persons she is “the sister”
or “the daughter’’ of such and such a
one. After her marriage tier name
Is burled. She Is absolutely nameless.
Her own parents refer to her by men
tioning the district into which she has
married. Should her Marriage be
blessed with children she Is “the
mother’’ of So-and-so. If It happens
that a woman ha.-; to appear iu a law
court, the Judge* gives her a t.peclal
name for use while the* case lasts so as
to save time and to simplify matters.
How to Avoid Crarrpo.
“You often read of people dying from
cramps while in swimming,” said
James D. Rose of Martin, Trim. “Peo
ple don’t tile from cramps while la
bathing. The water gets In tbe ears,
floods the eardrums and causes the
nerves leading to the brain to become

their duty, and the result is death. K
