MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Kansas Democrat
Last week, the voters of St. Louis voted fol-
several charter amendments. One of the
amendments provided that the water-works
system owned and operated by the city should
never be sold or leased by the city.
After many years experience, the voters
have declared by an affirmative vote of 6 to I
against selling or leasing the plant, and forever
forbid corrupt administrations from disposing
of one of ST. Louis most valuable assets.
This is fair illustration of municipal owner
ship of water.works system, as it is an emphatic
expression ofthe tax payers, and not of boodling
assemblymen and councilmen who have, for
years, maintained that it was to the interests of
St. Louis to sell or lease its water-works sys-
TEN.
Nowhere is the tendency towards socialism
so marked as in the cities. Public ownership
of water-works and lighting plants is the rule.
1t will only be question of little time when
the public ownership of street-car lines will be
the rule. The rich corporations who own these
franchises will fight off the movement as long
as possible, but they will be beaten in the end.

Now you Sc. one small carrier on rural de-
livery route travelling fifty miles day for six
days in the week to carry the mail to hundred
or more families. His total travel is, therefore,
three hundred miles per week. Under the old
system, if hundred families sent to town as
seldom as once week for their mail, it would
require more THAI thousand miles of travel.
Here, then, we have the mail furnished six
times as often at less than third of the effort.
This is an example of the benefits of assoca-
ton, of working together instead of "every
man for himself" And that is just what
socialism amounts to. 1t does not propose to
make any man less free nor lessen any ones
enioyments, but to enable all the people to
satisfy their needs at less expenditure of
energy. 1t is not something to he feared, but
something to be hoped for. When we get it,
what are now the luxuries of the few will be-
come the comforts of the many Under the old
system, as you can readily see, none but a
wealthy man could afford to have his mail sent
for and delivered every day. If he lived at any
considerable distance from town, It would re-
quire nearly all the time of man and horse
to secure such service. Now, every one in the
rural delivery routes enjoys such an accoinmo-
dation without appreciable expense. The time
will come when public Libraries and art galleries
and the choicest entertainments will be fur
nished just as freely, and with scarcely greater
cost to the individual benefited, than free mail
delivery is now.-Kansas Populist.

KANSAS has two remarkable senators, one
for his talking ability and the other for the
work he accomplshes. Senator Harris is one
of the working men in Washington and
about the only mention of him made by the
press is that he is at work. Senator Burton is
mentioned more frequently and usually in con-
nection with the distribution of patronage and
seldom in a complimentary way. He has re-

TREASON.
The Rural Kansan.

The Rural kanSan.
The Mail and Breeze last week made a mis-
cradle confession against the foolishness of
Kansas voting for the protection on lumber for
the benefit of the lumber trust. 1t says that a
Dickinson county farmer will try to "circum-
VENT the work of the lumber trust by building
his barn of baled wheat straw. Now we sub
init that this is treason. The tariff was put on
foreign lumber to make Americans buy of
American lumbermen. To build of straw IN
stead of lumber is reasonable. 1t is trying to
cheat the good Republican law. What is the
new district attorney going to do about it?

SPEAKING of the election of Seth Low and
Judge Jerome, in Greater New York, the To.
peka Capital says they were elected because
they were men of principle-because they rep
resented principles and were not afraid to stand
by those principles; because they were not
afraid to give expression to their beliefs. We
are glad to see the Capital getting on the right
side. For years, that paper has made sport OF
those who advocated standing by principle,
claiming, in effect, that success was the only
thing worth striving for Evidently, the Capt.
tai does not endorse the action CT the third
assistant postmaster general, who is refusing
the second class rate to papers that have the
hardihood to stand by principles and criticize
wrong.

AN OUTRAGE.

The Farmers Advocate, of Topeka, has been
denied the use of the mails as second-class
matter, on the ground as alleged that it was
sent to people who had not subscribed for it.
The third assistant postmaster-general is
after the Appeal to Reason, and is making the
same charge against that paper that it made
against the Advocate.
This is fimsy excuse, but poor excuse is
better than none.
Isn't it little queer that only reform papers
are being disturbed in this manner? No effort
is being made to shut out single Republican
or Democratic paper. There is not Republi-
can or Democratic paper published IN the
United States that is not sent to persons who
have not subscribed tor it. Both Republican
papers of this city are sent to people away from
home that are paid for by friends or relatives
who live here. We are safe in saying that
these papers will not be interfered with by 'the
powers that be'' in Washington.
The Advocate and the Appeal to Reason are
not sent to people without receiving payment
for the same. If the people who receive them
do not pay for them, some friend, or friends,
do.
If the policy adopted by the third assistant
postmaster general is carried out, such papers
as the Topeka Capital and the Kansas City
Journal will be shut out, for thousands are sent
to people who never subscribed for them, but
they are paid for with funds raised for political
purposes. We have known many people who
have received these papers,who never subscribed
for them, nor ordered them in any way.
The professed purpose of the late ruling OF
the third assistant postmaster-general was to
cut out papers which have only nominal SUBJ
scription price, but are sent to many thousands
of people gratis, for advertising purposes.
Yet, these papers are not interf~red with, so
far as we have been able to learn. At any
rate, we have lately seen copies of them which
came through the mails. 1t is evident that the
ruling is only subterfuge.
It is true that some of the publishing houses
which print new novel each month, and sent
them out under the second-class rate, have
been interfered with, but that doesn't hurt
these houses in the least, for they have made
arrangements with the express companies to
carry their books to the news and book dealers.
They have no regular list of subscribers, SO
really are not entitled to the second-class rate.
It is different with the newspapers, however.
Their lists are paid for, in some way, and it is
not the business of any person or persons to
know who pays for them.
On three different occasions, congress has
defeated bills whose tendency was the same as
this ruling of the third assistant postmaster
general. Is it not altogether likely that ma
jority of the members of congress have as much
interest in the welfare of the country as has
this Que official in this one department of the
government?
This action of this official will surely prove
boomerang. A majority of the people of this
country are not in sympathy with it. 1t will
return to plague the originators.

the tax on beer to be 95 cents, which is five

Hal ha! ha! That didn't happen in Christian
America. No; but something nearly as bad
did happen in Chicago, few days later. A
woman with seven children was elected from
tenement house in the night time, and had to
take refuge in police station near the stock
yaids. The husband and father was at work
on night shift at the time the constable swept
the mother and little ones into the street. 1t is
against the law to lodge in the streets in Chi
cago, and the knowledge of the law saved the
woman from the wcrk-house. Both women got
off remarkably we'll, considering the enormity
of their ofense. Chicago is in Christian Amer
lea, where the government uses armies to shoot
religion and civilization into people whose
wickedness consists in their having rather a
dark skin, and no one of them being million
aire
Strange, but true, that neither one of these
women was accused of getting into such dire
straits through the drink habits of their hus-
bands That used to be the old gag, and l

CARE OF LACEs.

Iron lace on the right side first. then
on the wrong side to throw up the pat
tern.
When putting lace away, fold as little
as possible. A good plan is to wind it
round card as they do in the shops.
When ironing laces, cover them with
clean, white tissue paper. This pre-
vents the shiny look seen on washed
lace.
Use contour instead Of ordinary
starch for stiffening laces. This makes
them firm and does not detract from
the lacy appearance.
Laces and other delicate trifles should
be placed in a muslin bag before being
boiled. This prevents their getting lost
and torn in the wash.
After getting up" laces do not leave
them to air in a damp PLAYGROUND
the fire when the kettle is boiling, for
instance. This robs them of their fresh.
ness and makes them look limp.
All laces before being ironed should
be carefully pulled out, each point re-
ceiving attention. You will be repaid
for your trouble. as the lace will look
twice as nice and last clean a much
longer time.

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

o'Bren Lumber Company Object to
Their Assessment on Logs.
The afternoon session of the board
of equalization yesterday was very
brief. Aside from denying the petit
ton of the Royal Milling company for
reducing the taxes on grain stored in
elevators belonging to the company
little business was done and the board
adjourned until 10 o'clock this morn
ing.
The session this morning was taken
up in hearing the petition OF the
O'Brien Lumber company against be-
ing assessed for 25,OOO,O00 feet OF
logs, which they claim belonged to
the parties selling them to the com
pany at the time the assessment was
made.
It is probable the hearing will not
be finished today as there are mum
Der of witnesses to examine and q
good deal of kicking is done.
The O'Brien Lumber company is
represented by G. H. Grubb as coun
sci. The company claim that instead
of being assessed for 25000,OOO feet
they should only be assessed for 3,
100000 feet and are putting up a
warm fight to bring the board to their
way Of thinking. About dozen differ
ent people who had sold logs to the
company testified as to how many feet
they had sold and at what time. Al
there are about twenty-five more tt
testify the outlook for the completion
of the investigation today is not prom

Too suggestive.

An English clergyman had married
a young woman with reputed dowry
of about 10000, while he himself had
'great expectations" Needless to say,
every soul in the village knew about 1t.
It was the first Sunday after their re-
turn from the honeymoon. and when
the sermon was finished the parson
proceeded. us usual, to give out the
hymn, verse for verse, to his rustic
congregation.
All went we'll until the fifth verse
was reached. and the parson began,
Forever let my grateful heart" when
suddenly and with some confusion he
exclaimed, "Omit the fifth verse!" and
Immediately began to recite aloud the
sixth verse instead. Those who had
hymnbooks promptly read the fifth
verse:
Forever let my grateful heart
His boundless grace adore,
Which gives ten thousand blessings now
And bids me hope for more.
