THE OUTLOOK.

The opening OF the present century
was marked by gigantic struggle in
which France put forthall her energy to
shape Europe according to the supposed
dictates OF her own interests. Finally
she lost under the overwhelming power

rivalry has never been completely ey,

smoulderlng embers about to be famed

seems TO be the question which now
occupies observers OF the European
situation.
London dispatches show that the Brit

a war party constantly growing in
strength Is no secret About once in
a generation the French nation sut-

IN bloodshed. Now the fever is raging

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.


Mr.. II. w. Lawrence. in communal

the small success OF municipal owner

III is not claimed by the advocates OF
municipal ownership that II ever viii
be success where II Is conducted in
the interest OF political parties instead
Of the people In the United States
where we have many towns and cities
that have only been able under adverse
circumstances, TO own their public
Institutes In part, they have succeeded
In giving their citizens less prices and
better service on water, gas. electric
light public markets. etc. and It is the
exception where they have allowed
these public Institutes TO go back into
private corporations. In Europe, city
ownership has been adopted IN part. by
hundreds OF villages and cities. and
wherever tried as a rule IL has given
lower prices to consumers. better SER
vice and less corruption In municipal
government"
The writer adds list OF cities, pub
llshed in the Appeal to Reason" in
which municipal ownership has been
successful The list includes cities in
nearly all parts Of the world.
1t would be futile to refuse to see that
the tendency of society at present is in
the direction Of municipal ownership.
But It would be equally futile TO deny
that a reconstruction is needed be-
fore that experiment can be thoroughly
successful, To refer again TO smile

No one can read the account which
the Transcript correspondent in Cuba
recently gave Of the injury which the

without thinking 1t almost a humilia-
ton that the United States does not
dare 10 trust itself 20 perform this Inn
portant function Of government-the
granting OF franchises. In effect, the
continuance OF this restriction means
that we DO not dare to do on that

The subject OF vlyisection Is again

are urging the proposed restrictions

Of the matter. 1t argues that lives
