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 yareljzfcd. This naturally forces oth er vital nerves to cease performing their duty, and the result is death.
