MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Replying to a correspondent in Kansas
City. Kan, where the question of municipal
ownership of the street-railroad lines is be-
ing agtated, Charles Francis Adams de-
clares that he has made a close study of
government railways and municipal tram
ways abroad, and has reached the conclu-
sion that on none Of them does the service
compare with that afforded by private cor
porations in similar lines in this country.
OF the much-touted- municipal street-car
system of Glasgow he declares: 1.-The serv-
ice afforded would cause riot in Kansas
City within twenty-four hours"
The conclusions of Mr.. Adams fairly cor
roborate the casual observation of American
travellers generally. Where the railways are
under government ownership the service is
nOtoriously bad and the fares are notorious
ly high as compared with service and rates
on this side of the water. UT they look
after details of government service there,
where the-e is more concentrated RESPONSE
bility, better than we do here, where, the
people being the theoretical sovereigns, the
average public officer is responsible to ev-
erybody in general and to nobody in partic-
ular. and, therefore, does as he pleases.
The results of experiments in municipal
socialism are various, but, generally speak
ing, it may be said that experience has
shown it possible to apply 1T to furnishing
the people with water and light with very
fair success. In this service not a great
many people are employed in actual opera
ton. There is a central pumping station
for a water plant, and the rest is largely
automatic. In somewhat less degree the
same thing is true Of gas or electric light
plant. There is central plant with mains
or wires to carry the gas or current. and
the consumers and meters do the rest. But
with a transportation enterprise it is differ
ent. The business requires big organza-
ton of men, and the human factor enters
much more prominently. The cars and
trains must be manned. schedules must be
controlled, and nothing is left to the patron
to regulate according to his own will. When
the service depends on the faithfulness and
intelligence of a large number of individ-
ducive to the necessary discipline and spirit.
Easy as the proposition of water or lighting
service seems, many of the experiments in
municipal ownership in these have proven
failures and it is reasonable to believe that
in street-railroad or steam-raiiroad service
the difficulties of public management would
be very greatly increased.

undesirable. What is true of Pennsylvania
rivers is probably true in Indiana. While
streams were not stocked with German
carp. many ponds were when that fish was
brought into undeserved prominence some
years ago. 1t took the experimenters but
a short time TO learn how valueless this
fish is, and most of them soon abandoned
the effort to raise them. Undoubtedly
many carp made their way into the streams
and small lakes and have multiplied there
TO the detriment of better varieties of
finny occupants

An important feature of the report of the

An important feature of the report of the
anthracite coal strike commission was a
provision that any difficulty or disagreement
arising under the award, either to its
Interpretation or application, or in any way
growing out of the relations of the employ
ers and employed, which could not be set
tied by them, should be referred to board
of Cancellation, and If it disagreed on any
point the matter should be referred to an
umpire to be appointed by a federal judge,
the decision of the umpire to be final and
binding in the premises" That is how
Hon. Carroll D. Wright came to be umpire
of several disputed points. His decision
seems to have been carefully considered.
and by the terms of the award it closes the
dispute. This method of settling questions
arising under the award will continue dur
ing the life of the award itself, viz, till
March 81, 1906. 1t does not apply to new
disputes which may arise outside Of the
scope Of the commissions report.
