HITS MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
Iowa supreme Court viii Not Let Des
Moines Build Light Plant.

Des Moines. Ia. Jan. 1S.-The SUI
preme court has handed down n de-
ciSion in the Des Moines municipal
electric light case, which is considered
by municipal Ownership advocates Il Sc
we're blow TO their hopes in This state.
The city of Des MoineS contracted for
the building of n municipal electric
light plant. and was enjoined against
carrying ont the contract. The con-
tract anticipated revenues. providing
that payments should be made each
year until the plant was paid for, when
IL should become TO the city property.
The payments were no larger than
the amount the city had previously
paid annually for light. The supreme
court. however. holds that Il city can
not anticipate its revenues in this way
to provide plant if the total of an
ticipated liabilities places the debt
above the constitutional limit, which is
true in this case.

such a law. We do say that it is
better to have a law temporarily IN
favorable to one parent but helpful
in the highest degree to ninety-nine
of our future citizens, than the pres
ent system which allows the Oppres-
sion of the ninety-nine orthe bene-
fit of one.
In this connection, we cOmmendto
the consideration of the Post the fol
lowing pen picture of n poor
father with ten children" whom 1T
fears would be deprived of some
luxuries by a law prohibiting child
slavery. We clip it from the news
columns of the Charlotte Observer {:
tom Yandle was arrested last
night for being drunk and abusing
his family and was locked up for
trial this morning. If the usual Gus
tom follows he will be fined by the
mayor his children will pay the fine,
and he will go home to loaf until he
feels inclined to get drunk again.
Yandle is one of those vampire pa
rents who are so frequently men
toned in the police court reports of
the Observer. He has a very large
family and when he was up before
the mayor a couple of weeks ago he
said, with a certain pride, that his
children made So. so a night by work
ing in the Atherton cotton mill.
Therefore, he considers it not neces-
sary that he should work. In his
own sphere he lives as a lord, and in
the part of his programme that In
cludes cursing and mistreating his
little children he feels no shame even
when sober. Within the last three
months it is shown by the police
court record that he has been ar
rested, imprisoned and fined four
times for drunkenness, and his chill
dren's money bought his whiskey
and paid his fine. AS has been re-
peatedly stated in this paper, Yandle
is only one of a type too common in
this community. And It's a class
that the law does not seem to get at,

The Thinkers.
THE Kissing TIDE.

We rejoice with exceeding great
Joy at the rising educational senti-
ment sweeping over our State. North
Carolina is stirred as she has never
been on the Importance of increasing
and lettering our educational facili-
ties. Our academies and colleges
RE crowded with children and youth
eager to learn. Praise the Lord for
the prospects before the poor boys
and girls. Education is, indeed, the
paramount issue here. It is a mat
ter for profound Thanksgiving that
popular education is really becoming
popular. 1t is useless to shut
eyes to the fact that in North Caro-
lima for the past fifty years the COM
mon schools have been shamefully
Disseminated against. Many promi-
mem men held the heartless opinion
that a labOring man did not need to
be educated thaht learning would
raise him above himself, and lift him
out Of his proper and natural sphere.
So deep-roOted and so general was
this cruel sentiment that it required
many years of agitation to break it's
power. We have often alluded to
the rude awakening of members of
the last Legislature when the bill
making an extra appropriation was
offered, and we have no doubt that
members voted for that bill who at
heart were bitterly opposed to it.
But that great triumph crushed the
opposition that for so many years
blocked the way toward a better
system of public schools. Now the
