MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Advocates Of municipal ownershin
and operation Of public utilities have
much to be encouraged over when thew
review the history Of the past few
years. 1t Is scarcely over half a score
years ago since the agitation for muni-
cipal ownership and operation of public
utilities commenced. At that time It
was considered a. dream and it's advo-
Gates were called rainbow chasers. but
when we stop today to analyze the re-
suit of this few years agitation we
find in the British Isles that 10 of the
municipalities own their own street
railways, controlling 936 miles Of track.
against 107 private companies who have
only 831 miles. Most of the water COM
panies outside of London are now under
municipal ownership. One-half of the
gas made in the British Isles is by the
municipalities. The reports from the
United States also are very encour-
aging. In 1899 the commissioner Of
labor made an Investigation in the
cities Of over 1000 population. He
found 400 Of the cities owning and oper-
ating lighting plants, IA municipalities
had their own gas plants. The encour-
o>0>
that the claims set forth by the advo-
Gates of municipal ownership were
true, for in every instance the price
was cheapened to the consumer, while
the wage and conditions Of the en-
ployes was increased and benefited.
Another point that should not be lost
sight Of, political corruption had de-
creased where municipal ownership has
been carried into effect. This, we state.
is encouraging to those who took up
this agitation In the face Of such op-
position few years ago. From now on
the movement will increase and grow
rapidly, and we predict that the next
ten years will see municipal street rail-
ways in operation in America. 40 Lot
the advocates of municipal ownership
take courage, sharpen their swords and
continue the battle more fiercely than
ever.

Association Will Give Its Annual
Ball Next Thursday Evening.
It is said in marine circles that a
fresh water sailor knows how to enjoy
himself in the winter time. In this
city there is one event among the
marine workers that is looked forward
to in happy anticipation.
The annual ball of the marine engi-
neers-those sturdy fellows, upon
whose watchfulness and care depends
the lives of so many people-is the
event of events in marine social circles.
For years past the Duluth association
has given it's ball with success. On
next Thursday evening, at the Armory
they will give their fifth annual. Those
who attend will be received by Armor
Harvey, J. Bishop and A. McGilvray-
three bald-headed fellows, just as broad
as they are long. La Brosses' orchestra
will furnish music. All who attend are
assured Of g. good time. The marine
engineer Is we'll trained in hospitality.
Those who have had ride on a steam
boat can substantiate this, and hence
the success Of the ball is assured.

Very Respectable Ball Given Mt Odd
Fellow" Hall.
The tug firemen gave their second
annual ball at Odd Fellows hall last
Thursday evening. There were fully
$50 couples in attendance.
The event was very successful from
a social standpoint. The supper which
was furnished by the union excelled
anything ever attempted in Odd Eel
lows hall. The success Of the affair
may he credited to the good work done
by TIE arrangement commit ttee. which
consisted 81 NJ. Dillon. NJ: Is. Glockle
and John McI.ain. Other members Of
the union worked in perfect harmony
which also added to complete success.
We are Justly proud Of the Tug Fire

have watched it grow from an infant
organization to the power that it IS to-
day among the marine workmen.

CIVIL RULE IN
PHILIPPINES
SECRETARY ROOT GIVES IN
rEREsr1NG EXPOSITION OF
AFFAIRS IN ISLANDS.
ARMED FORCE IS NECESSARY.
CIVIL ADMINISTRATORS MUST BIC
FITLY SUPPORTED.
If Either the Lodge or Cooper bllAs
Were Passed the Military
Could BE Reduced.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Secretary
Root gave an interesting exposition OF
the condition of affairs in the Philip
pines, together with the outlook for ter
minating military by civil rule. In the
course Of hearing today before the
house committee on military affairs IN
connection with the army appropria-
ton bill. The meeting was behind
closed doors and no exact statement OF
Mr.. Roots remarks was given out, al
though the following is understood to
embody the more essential features:
The discussion of the Philippine con-
ditions was brought out by q question
by Mr.. Hay Of Virginia, as to whether
civil government could be maintained
in the islands without the presence of
the army.
Not Work Enough.
In reply Mr.. Root stated that the
army was necessary as moral force
to maintain the civil administration
now established. One of the main
causes, he said, why there had not been
more progress in the Philippines was
that the Spooner amendment passed
by congress last year restricted the
grant of franchises had the effect of
preventing the investment Of capital
and the consequent employment Of
labor.
Many people were idle, and many Of
these became conspirators simply be-
cause they were idle. The secretary in
stanced the fact that although rice was
one of the main products Of the Philip
pines, yet about $4,000, 900 worth Of rice
had to be imported last year. In this
and many other branches of industry
the wheels of industry were not NOV
ing, the people out Of employment
were encouraged in viciousness and as
a result 1t was necessary to keep some
10000 troops in the islands.
Con.pirators i'm All Province..
In some provinces very satisfac-
tory civil administration had been set
up. But Mr.. Root pointed out that
even in privinces where civil govern
ment had been. a success. there were
men conspiripg to assist in the agita-
tion and warfare carried on in neigh
boring provinces. On the whole, how
ever, the secretary expressed the be-
lief that If congress enacted the bill
proposed by Senator Lodge, or that of
Representative Cooper Of Wisconsin,
providing systems of laws for the
Islands, It would be possible soon there-
after to gradually reduce the military
blishment II the Phil lippines.
T: He did not believe It would be rapid
or complete termination Of military
rule, as the conditions among the ma
tives were firmly fixed and it would
take considerable time to bring about
the new order of affairs. Mr.. Root said
that better progress had been made in
the last year than had been expected.
and he expressed the opinion that CIV
ilization ultimately would be extended
to the people Of the islands.
The situation in Cuba. was discussed
only briefly. as Mr.. Root remarked
that we were simply trustees there.
whereas our interests in the Philip
pines was much more definite and ex-
tended, particularly over the large
sweep of public lands.

MATTER WITH MILES
NO POLITICS IN GENERALS CASE
''knocklng" 1t Eternally,
r- and Tint Is All.

From, The Journal B,,renm. Room, 20, Post
Building, WdshinQtor-
Washington, April lit is impos-
sible to perceive of any politics coming
out of the enforced retirement, of Gen
eral Miles. Public sentiment, which dur
ing the Spanish war was with Miles, has
undergone a radical change, and every
where the tendency now is to set him
down as a fault finding, disconnected
man, who leaves no opportunity unim-
proved for stirring up, strife in the war
department. He was offensive to the Nc
Kinley administration, and only Nc
Kinley's tact and patience prevented an
open rupture. He has been equally Of
fensive to the Roosevelt administration.
He has quarreled with two presidents
and with two secretaries Of war, and 1T is
largely on his side. -
The trouble lies in the fact that Miles,
as commanding general of the army, does
not realize that his position Is one or
courtesy, rather than tof real authority
or responsibility. Under our constitu-
tion the president is the commander-in-
chief of the army and navy, and expresses
his will through the secretaries of war
and the navy. The commanding general
of the army is merely the senior general,
fact Of which Miles loses sight. He
has contended from the beginning that
the command of the armies in Cuba and
in the Philippines should be under his
control, losing sight of the fact that the
president could not abdicate his authority,
even if so disposed. Both Mckinley
and Roosevelt have been unwilling to
place Miles in full charge, for while his
courage and patriotism we're not ques-
toned, there have been serious doubts as
to his wisdom and discretion.
No employer in the United States would
retain the services of a man who was con-
tinuously and openly and aggressively dis
| loyal to him and to his interests and let
| pass no opportunity to embarrass him
| Why, then, should the government, it is
asked, retain such man in it's service?
| w. w. Jermane.
