Some Facts about Municipal Ownership

In Glasgow, Scotland, 80 per cent.
of street railway fares are 1 cent, and
the average of all fares is under 2
cents; yet the city roads made profit
of Sill 900 in the first eleven months
of municipal operation.
In Switzerland, from the smallest
village, a telephone message can be
sent to any place in the republic for 5
cents. Government ownership of the
telepones here would give an equally
reasonable rate, or nearly so.
Last year Manchester, England,
made profit of 100000 from it's
municipal ownership of it's electric
light. Bradford made 100000, and
Edinburg made ST., 500. In no case
as yet has muicipal ownership proved
Improbable.
The Baltimore American says that
the city of Jacksonville, Florida, gets
about $1,000 month from it's munic-
ipal plant for commercial electric
lighting. The plant cost 100000.
In Berlin the public street railways
sell yearly tickets to go in and out five
miles, as often as you please, for $4. 80
year, a running average of about ten
miles for cent. Yet a profit of 40
per cent, is made on the passenger
traffic.
In Switzerland there are relief sta
tions for the unemployed, where they
are given food and lodging. The
price charged for dinner is Z cents,
and Is cents for nights lodging.
In 1896 10000 were cared for in
these stations.
The fact that Chicago, under the
system of private ownership of cleo
trio lights, paid $3.50 per year
per light, while under public
ownership the city pays but 500 per
yGer, shows the enormous profits Sc
cured by electric lighting companies.

Away down in Georgia, in that
bright and sunny land, there is a
colony of people struggling to solve
or help to solve the mightiest problem
of the eyes, and they are cramped and
harrassed by present conditions, but
recently they got relief in Chicago.
Among the brightest and best bust
ness men and professional men there
is feeling that a new order must
take the place of the present anarchy
and some of these men help with their
means. This is cheering. May success
attend all such efforts.

DOES CHRISTIAN SOCIETY BELIEVE
THE SCRIPTURES

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self.-[Mark 1928.
Love your enemies.-- Matt. 5-43.
But Christians support armies. Are
armies necessary to deeds of love?
Go sell what thou hast and give to
the poor.-Mark 1917; Matt. 1875.
Take no thought for the morrow,
what We shall eat and what We shall
drink, or wherewithal We shall be
clothed Matt. CPS.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures
upon earth Matt. 6-19.
Do not attempt to serve God and
mammon.-[ Matt. 6-19.
Woe unto you that are rich.-[ Luke

A mans life consistent not in the
abundance of things which he pos
sesseth.-[ Luke 1915.
Give to him that asketh thee, and
from him that would borrow of thee
turn thou not away.-[Matt. 5-42.
1t is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive.-[2O-35.
But the Christian (?) by his acts
says, all these are false saying, for does
he not form trusts and monopolies
and by means of unjust law does he
not rob the toiler and build for him.
self magnificent palaces and broad
parks? Does he not ignore every prin-
ciple and precept contained in the fore
going sayings? If he believed them he
surely would practice them; the fact
that he does not live them is evidence
that he does not believe them.
Then why does he mock the toiler
by repeating them while plundering
him?
1t seems to be much easier to donate
portion of stolen property to the
erection of spacious and richly furn-
ished house of worship (?) than to do
justly by the toiler.
1t does not cost SO much to sing
hymns, groan and look pious as it
does to return to the laborer his des-
erts, and Christian { p society proposes
to follow lines of least economical re-
sistance even in defiance of morallaw.
Can society afford to take this fearful
risk? Does society ignore the fate of
all preceding civilizations?

you think of this propositions
Our paper has seldom asked for any
thing for itself. Our begging has been

appeal for charity, but simply ask

you by making the paper better.

The most revolving details that have

ment for a consider able period OF
,ime, and by virtue of his position in
-pected nearly all of the beef that was
killed. The details of this mans
statements are so disgusting as to
shock the grossest sensibilities OF hu"
mainly. They exceed decent belief,
and would have been discarded as
impossible, except from the fact that
they have been substantiated in their
main features by subsequently pub
lished card from Ex-Governor Altgeld.
The abuses were in existence during
his administration, and he employed
the power of the State in an inefect"
ual effort to put them down. The
Trust was greater than the State, and
to-day it Is greater than the Govern
ment.
