Utilities cannot safely be left In private

utilities cannot safely be left In private
hands.
The most common objection b
Soc lalism is that it would interiors
with the freedom of the individual.
Mayor Johnson believes that the true
aim of government is to secure to eaon
individual the widest possible freedom
consistent with the rights of others.
This is his reason for being opposed b.
Socialism. Inns Is also his reason for
being in favor of each community
owning It's own public utilities. For
when all the citizens are dependent
upon one company for their light, they
are not free. They are at the mercy
of monopoly. Since competition Is
not practicable, the only way to pro
tect them in their freedom Is to have
public lighting plant and make each
citizen an equal partner IN the con-
Germ. II the freedom of the individual
is to be guarded, government Must
reach out and take IN these public
utilities. More than that the govern
ment has no right to do. And this 40
Just the difference between Socialism
and the Individualism OF Mayor john
son.
| But it Is not to be presumed that the
editors above mentioned are ignorant
Of this broad distinction between
Mayor johnson s views and those OF
the Socialists. They know he is not
Socialist. But they think Socialism
will prove good CLUB with which to
beat him. And why do they wish to
beat hlm3 The answer Is plain. The
editor of the Enquirer enjoys the gas
monopoly in the city of Washington,
d. e., while the wife of the editor OF
the Times Star owns the gas company
of Cleveland. Monopoly is thicker than
politics. 1t Is not because Mayor John
son Is q Socialist, tor he 10 not, but 1t
is because he believes each com munity
should have gas plant Of its own just
as it now has its own water works
this is the reason that these editors
make common cause against him. -.
would not have them to go out OF
the business. While these things are
in private hands, why not in their
hands9 But when they enter into
conspiracy to deceive the people in
order to keep their privileges, they "a
wrong.
AS a coop is full of birds, so are
their business bouses full Of deceit
therefore they are become great, and
waxen rich.
They use their newspapers as the
burglar uses his pistols, to protect
their plumber. In such Journalism
there Is no. conscience and no honor.
Such papers will find market with
the thoughless and the ignorant. But
all right thinking citizens will hold
them in contempt.
In exposing the selfish motive OF
these two editors, have remembered
Lowell ironical advice:
"I'm wlllin' a man should go tollable
strong
Agin wrong in the abstract; for
that Kind of wrong
Is sllays unpop lar, and never gets
pitied,
Because its the wrong no one ever
committed

BISHOPS STORY.
Upon the subject of church con-
tributions, Bishop Smith yesterday
made few remarks worthy of repeti-
ton. as they apply with equal force to
the members Of all churches. He
asked Rev. Il. l.. Hensley, who had
reported 140 conversions how many
memb ers he had in his charge. to
which he replied 475. The Bishop
then asked the pastor what salary he
received the past year; 1915 was the
amount stated, and about $475 the
amount collected for all purposes.
One dollar per capital for the propaga-
ton of the gospel did not strike the
Bishop as a particularly liberal dona-
ton, and he exhorted the church
mem bers to baptlze their pocketbooks
as an old Baptist in the Caroilnas had
done. The old fellaw had progressed
and was going to be baptlsed when
one of the brethren on ''JOrdan's
banks asked him if he did not want
to let him take charge Of the pocket
book 80 that it would not get wet
The saved sinner promptly answered
mo, there ara so many men In the
church who have been baptis'h but
whose pocketbooks have never entered
the church that have decided to
baptlze mine. And In he plunged.
What we need more than anything in
the church, said the Bishop, lis a
few baptlsed pocketbooks. One
pastor yesterday reported a very
meagre salary, but added that he had
done better this year than last, as his
members had paid in cash instead Of
in barter at mighty stiff prices. .
Which reminds one of the trials OF a
country editor, who gets all his
bills and subscriptions
[ that he gets at ALL paid in "barter'
1t 80 per cent. over Its real market
