MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

Is there economic advantage to con-
sumers in the municipal ownership and
operation of water, gas, electric light
works, ETC.? This is problem that the
people of Los Angeles will. sooner or
later, have to solve. 1t is essentially a
live question which, though it may tenn
rorarily subside, will not down until
it is settled for good and all by that
great American arbiter-the people.
Like the question of the restoration of
the silver dollar to it's legitimate place in
the currency system of the United States,
the question of the control of the public
agencies of municipal administration is
too close to the interests of the people to
be allowed to continue in it's present cha
otic condition of unrest. Current
events, the extension of city lines into
and the formation of Greater cities,
and the consequent enlargement of the
expenses and responsibilities of munich
pal government, not only revive the
question, but force it on the attention of
city residents and taxpayers.
In view of this, and to this end, con-
vention of mayors and councilmen from
the cities of the United States and Can
ada recently assembled in Columbus,
Ohio. This notable gathering resulted in
the formation of the League of Ameri-
can municipalities" to secure, as we are
advised, the cooperation of American
cities in the practical study of all ques-
tions of municipal administration, in
Guiding, of course, the question at bar as
the main point for consideration.
The formation of this league is most
wise and opportune. The practical
study of this important question of
municipal ownership is the very thing
demanded by the situation. 1t is not
in any sense a party question. Politics
should have no say in it's elucidation. The
whole people of each municipality are
equally interested in it's proper settle
mcnt. The small house holder, or even
the tenant of furnished room, has,
upon the ground of personal convenience,
comfort and happiness, just as much
concern in the question as the millionaire
owner of city blocks or palaces. In fact
the former, by reason of his limited re-
sources. is more interested in economic
and judicous municipal administration,
water, gas and electric-lighting facili-

A BALLAD OF THE DEAD

Who will sing song for the dead,
For the countless common throng,
That the ashes of earth have buried
And left without song?
Who will sing for the voiceless tribes
OF the north, east, south and west
That have had their years of toll and tears,
And have earned their silent rest?
'Tis not for the hearts that now beat high,
Or the lips that are rich with jest,
To mar the day and its revelry
With a death song at the feast.
'Tis not for the bird that sings all day
To his mate on the Towering limb;
The skies are clear and the nest is near
And what is death to him?
IT'S not for the flower whose petals sway
In the glow of the yellow sun;
Beauty and life and far today,
And its simple song is done.
With noiseless march the years go hv
And the hearts that thrilled and beat
Become the spoil of the earth worm 8 toll
And dust beneath our feet
And day by day as we fight our way
Ger the tomb of mighty past,
No d.rge breaks in on the roaring din
OF the life tide flowing fast
Then who will sing a song for the dead.
For the countless common throng.
That have had their years of toll and tears.
But have not earned song?
All. self is the god that rules us ALL
And the doom of the dead is naught:
We are kings today let others sway
In our stead when we are not.

HENRY GEORGE, JR.
Consecrates Himself to the Common
Peoples Cause


New York, Oct. S1.-Henry George,
son and successor Of the late Henry
George, has issued the following state
ment:
II am an affectionate son of a most
loving father. Between us has subsisted
the closest companionship. I have a
clear understanding of and profound
admiration for all that he has said and
done. A man has but one life here to
live. I solemnly dedicate mine to the
cause to which my father gave his. If
elected to the exalted office of mayor of
Greater New York 1 shall hold myself
pledged to fulfill every condition and
promise made by him, and most es-
pecially shall bying swift justice upon
those public thieves and corruptionists
who for so long have Haunted their
deeds in the faces of the common people.
whom they have insulted and robbed.
"To all the world proclaim this: Ny
fathers work as he planned and pur-
sued it, shall be carried forward with
out faltering or swerving. Let all who
took hope at the sight of his standard
keep heart and follow, for it presses on,
and shall press on and on, while life is
left"

Reportorial and Typographical Errors

A correspondent sends us some more
reporters errors. Mr.. Asquith once re-
ferred to the governments 'pique or
temper; the reporter wrote peacock
temper" A speaker at Exeter hall, re-
plying to an attack, said it was double
lie in the shape of half a TRUTH" which,
by the ingenuity of the reporter, ap-
peared as "a double eye in the shape OF
half a TOOTH" Lord Russell, the then
canon of Windsor, had been trying, he
said, for forty years to cure drunkard'
by making them drink in moderation;
the local paper had it that he had been
trying for forty years to drink in moder-
alton, but had never once succeeded. Sir
James Grant, in a speech in the Cana
dian house of commons. once referred to
a mans thorax; when in print 1t read
"a mans pickaxe"; and on another oc-
casion his reference to food for the
gods" appeared food for the Gods" In
setting up a speech of Sir Henry Irving
the compositor made many journeys in
small boats" read weary journeys in
small boots" but this is not to the credit
of the reporter, but the printer.-West-

THE BOSS HUMoRIST

Weyler contributes to the gayety of
duel. He has been misrepresented,
slandered and traduced. He has been
pictured and denounced as butcher,
as the ruthless slayer of men, women
and children; as robber and corrup-
zionist. Foul calumny! Weyler is
above all things a humorist. He is as
jovial and as witty man as ever cut
throat, looted treasury or told lie.
General Weyler's address to the as
sembled crowds that witnessed his de-
parture for Spain will be handed down
to posterity as long as there is hand
left to do the work. 1t is a wonder, a
masterpiece; it takes the cake and the
cook that made it.
Weyler left Cuba with the serene con-
sciousness that he had always done his
duty; he 'felt assured Of the real kind
ness and wisdom of his policy" The
Cuban who would not laugh at this joke
ought to be hung, drawn and quartered
LAS for the future says this patriot
with an eye to the main chance, II shall
always hold myself in readiness to serve
the party aiming to retain Cuba for
Spain.'' Undoubtedly, Weyler stands
ready to serve the government as long
as there is dollar left in the treasury.
In his farewell official proclamation
the deposed captain general says things
that would make living statue of mer-
riment out of petrified mummy. Hear
him: more accustomed to the inclem-
ency of the camp than to the enervating
influences of the parlor, am rude and
concise"
Oh, Weyler, Weyler, how we shall
miss your quips and jibes, your ingen-
uous and side-splitting humor!

Upper Air Rainstorm

There is at least one place in the United
States where a man may be out in a
heavy rain and not get wet, even though
he has neither macintosh nor umbrella.
In the Colorado desert they have rain
storms during which not single drop
of water touches the earth. The rain
can be seen falling from the clouds high
above the desert, but when the water
reaches the strata of hot, dry air be-
meath the clouds it is entirely absorbed
before falling half the distance to the
ground. 1t is a singular sight to wit
ness a heavy downpour of rain, not a
drop of which touches the ground. These
strange transforms occur in regions
where the shade temperature often
ranges as high as 1928 degrees Fahren-
heit.-.Ex.

CALIFORNIA OPINION
McClatchy and George

The Bee always felt a paternal inter-
est in Henry George. for George was the
disciple of the late James McClatchy.
1t was James McClatchy who, while
managing editor Of the San Francisco
Times, took Henry George from the case
and gave him his first opportunity in
journalism; 1t was James McClatchy
who instilled into Henry George those
principles antagonistic to land monopoly
which George subsequently embodied in
Progress and Poverty; it was George
who insisted that James McClatchy
should write that work, as McClatchy
was the Mentor. while George was but
the Telemachus; but it was James Nc
Clatchy. who. knowing the genius lat
ent in George. which only awaited an
opportunity to spring forth full-armed
for an intellectual contest, kept peg
ging away at George until the latter
commenced and finished his great work.

JOHN s. CROSBY
John S. Crosby, who has been one Of
the most active campaigners for George,
was the last speaker, and the only lay
man who spoke. His address dealt
more with the duty of the present, in
accordance with the principles laid
down by Henry George. rather than
with mere eulogy of the dead teacher.
and evoked applause even more ener-
getic than the remarks of DIR. McGlynn.

of dismissal from the hall.
Nearly all those present took ad-
vantage of the opportunity offered to

it had been in progress during the day.
THE FUNERAL PROCESSION
The procession which accompanied
the remains was in many respects the
most remarkable ever witnessed in New
York. The catafalque was a magnifi-
cent creation Of black broadcloth, and
at the base was twelve feet wide. There
were five steps leading to the top. The
horses, of jet black, were covered with
black silk mourning and were led by
sixteen grooms. The only emblems on
the top of the casket was a small white
wreath.
The organizations that paid honor to
Mr.. George by following the funeral car
fell into line from the side streets off
Madison avenue and below Forty-sec-
ond street. There was some disappoint-
ment in the small number of followers,
and it was conservatively estimated that
when the party passed Thirty fourth
street there were less than $500 men in
line.
There were marks of respect all along
the line. Barred heads were the rule on
both sides of the streets. and many men
and women were noticed to be crying.
When the open space in front Of the no
tells on Twenty-third and Twenty fifth
streets was reached there was an enor-
I1OuS cTOWus 1HcIS WCIC u li0iibSA Va
old men here who seemed to be greatly
interested, for they stood with barred
heads from the time the police appeared
until nearly all the procession had
passed them. When the south side of
Union Square was reached. the band
that had preceded the catafalque fell
out of line and, taking stand on the
sidewalk, played dirge while the re-
mainder of the procession passed. 1t
was o'clock when the head Of the col
umn rounded into Broadway again at
Fourteenth street. An expectant crowd
of George worshipers flanked Broadway
at Canal street. Here it was also noticed
that there was much weeping.
The procession from that point to
City Hall park was without incident,
save for a repetition Of the scenes OF
grief which had been manifested along
the entire route.
Simple private services will be held
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning at the
family residence.
Revs. George and Lattimer of Phila-

TRIBUTE PAID
By Men Quick to Recognize True
Greatness

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-At the conclu-
sion of an address on present Political
Conditions" before the Society Of Ethical
culture at Carnegie hall today, DR.. Felix
Adler paid glowing tribute to the MEM
ory of Henry George. He said: AT
the point in a great campaign for the
people, when the excitement was in
tense, the weird light of tragedy illu-
mines the field. His friends and op-
ponents-foes he had nOne-have Joined
in tribute to his memory. In review
ing his career we recognize three dis
tinct services he rendered to humanity.
He did the most of any man to make the
readers of the two continents realize the
problem of poverty. His claim as a
writer is secure, and he stood as great
popular leader. An old Greek philoso-
pher, when asked as to whom he
considered the happiest man, named
ruler of Athens who lived at a time when
Athens was in her glory, who had fam
lily to continue his work where he left off,
and who died on the field of battle just
when his army was on the point of
achieving a brilliant victory. The same
might be said of Henry George.
"All these conditions apply, and he
died in the midst of a great fight for the
people, whom he loved, on the eve of a
glorious victory. 1t was his sincerity
that the people loved. They realized
his great love for humanity, and respect
ed him for it. Whether or not they ap-
proved his idea for reconstructing So
ciety, they loved and admired the man."
HEBER NEWTON
Rev. Heber Newton preached at All
Souls church today on 'The Ethical Is
sues before the CITY," He said: THE
tragedy which has befallen our city
within the past few hours ought to de-
eide the issues in the heart of every
honest man. A great mind, a noble
hearted man, has fallen martyr to the
city's liberties, the city's honor. Con-
scious of his physical weakness, yet fol-
lowing the call of the city to him, he
plunged into the thick of the fight, re-
gardless of himself though with the pre-
sentiment on his soul which he expressed
in that pathetic word of his Cooper Union
address: I accept your nomination, and
will remain in the fight to the end,
though die in it,
"Of all that have said as to the ethical
aspects of the issues, he was the living
embodiment. The intense earnestness
of his moral nature led him to plunge al
most recklessly into the battle for the
peoples rights and liberties. He could
not be apathetic. He could not be indif-
ferent when the fate of a city OFFS, 900 900
souls hung in the balance. This intense
earnestness was one secret of his strange
power over the masses of men,
