Dean Cope's Note to the Editor Of The
Republican Concerning Cheap

o the Editor of The Republican.

To the Editor of The Republican.
AS your report Of my remarks at the
Woman's club is incomplete and apt to
be misleading, | ask for the insertion
of the following:
The subject of the afternoon was Ap-
piled Socialism. The able speaker of
the day. Judge G~roesbeck. laid empha.
sis on national control and municipal
ownership of public utilities. My ref,
erenCes to other countries was to
strengthen his assertions.
Every student of social economy who
has spent some time III travelling
knows We are behind the leading ma.
tions of Europe in government control
of railways and the municipal owner,
ship of light. water and other public
utilities.
The inference as to my travelling
third class in England last summer is
quite true. | did so for economy's
sake. but as the lord bishop of London
frequently does so and two thirds at
least of Great Britain travel so, why
should | mind?
| am thankful to Mr.. Chaplin for hay
ing seconded my appeal to the club to
agitate the improvement of our city
park. the planting OF trees. and. If pos,
sible. the laying of cement sidewalks
on our main thoroughfares, and gradu'
ally throughout the town. With our
splendid location. our unsurpassed eli
mate, there is no reason why we should
not attract to our town many families
and much capital passing us further
westward. Truly yours,
