The Brooklyn Grand Jury seemed to be In the right
path when it advised steps toward municipal owner
ship.
But its statement that the roads could be operated
at profit Scent fare basis seems little too
sangune of good. The legal theory is that 4 munich
paty is organized TO govern and spend money not
to make money. Business men are generally sue
cessful oficeholers because they depart from the
legal theory for the practical idea that city s
organized to govern and make money. Expenditures
will aggregate rapidly enough TO prevent accumula-
ton of balances, and there will be loss unless officials
strive ut obtaining funds for the city Public owner
ship is municipal business venture and it must be
conducted in accordance with business principles;
otherwise it will fail.

REAL PROSPERITY.

The first year of the century brought TO st.
Louis unprecedented prosperity. This year promises
10 eclipse the surprising record of 1892 The
pace is set for great progress of permanent
kind and st. Louis is speeding to higher rank
among American cities. This decade will witness ad-
vancement in this city and throughout surrounding
territory that will attract the attention Of the world
Outsiders must lean the opinion that the
progress chroncled here is attributable to the Worlds
Fair alone, though the International enterprise is,
doubt an insprational agent in infusng and sustain
Ing energy. The advancement is due directly TO nat
ural conditions. For this reason it will be enduring.
1t is fortunate for the city State tributary territory
and the Worlds Fair that the Exposition will he held
at the beginning OF the for this will protect
all concerned against the evils of boom. Reaction
will not result from the Worlds Fair Healthy pro
gresSive circumstances will prevent.
For more than quarter of century affairs in
this and surrounding regions il the South and South
west impaired by a state that followed the
ages of war. Business and industry coped with un-
equal obstacles that only time could remove. Time
has played its part. distractions have disappeared
The awakening has come, and all around far to the
South and Southwest great productive territories
pulsating with the enthusiasm of prosperity and i'm
provement.
The Worlds Fair is the centennial celebration of
the Louisiana Purchase This is its historical aspect
1t will celebrate renaissance in the activity of
mighty States and mark the beginning of epoch
Of wonderful progression, showing ST. Louis the
gate to vast country whose future influence and
commercial power are marvellous beyond estimation.
The Worlds Fair is the dawn rich and productive
regions.
st. Louis is feeling the impetus and rising TO the
occasion, confident that Improvement and advance
ment denote permancncy. The Worlds Fair will not
have deleterious reaction, in cities because
1T will not be monumental tribute to glory gone,
but the imposing arch of entrance to present and
future triumph 1t will be the beginning the end,
of great achievement.
Records Of prosperity broke all former annals in
1901; those of 1902 larger and more sug-
gestive of still larger yet natural increases in every
field of activity The bank cearings in 1902 were
$25O6 SO4 800. against $2270620216 in 1901. Real
estate transfers showed an increase of S100OO,OOO.
The value Of building improvements, for which per-
mits issued in 1902, S14500.2 .2.5, which
greater than the aggregate Of the previous year
Investment demands in real estate for various
solid purposes indicated growth in manufacturing,
mercantile. and railroad pursuits. The demand for
dwellings is unprecedented In all directions there is
apparent the purpose of investment, while specua-
ton is avoided to surprising extent. The pros
perty of St Louis is normal and it will be perma-
nent because it has emerged from natural conditions
and s due to healthy, conservative progress.

ARBITRATION UNNECESSARY.


Great Britain and Germany stand as exponents of
arbitration with string tied to it. Some phases of
the Venezuelan claims affair they are willing to ar
brate; others they are not. They demand payment
of $600,OO0 half to Great Britain and half to Ger
many, for claims which they consider just not
to require arbitration. This must constitute a 1903
enlightened view of arbitration.
If these claims aggregating 100000 clearly so
just and valid that the two European Powers feel
confident that there is for submitting them
to The Hague tribunal, there is all the reason
for allowing the arbiter to pass judgment them
The two Powers cannot lose their with the tr
bunal if their cause is just If, believing the claims
valid and reasonable, they do not consent to ar
bitraton they questioning the integrity Of the
tribunal.
Arbitration pacific method Of determining in
ernational disputes would be pretty mockery were
other nations to follow this precedent when dealing
with weaker Governments. There is no virtue in ar
bitraton If it is not applicable in all controversies,
If courts cannot be trusted dispose wisely of one
case as another. According to the Anglo German
view arbitration is useless and unnecessary, well
inudicous, if strong bluff be made effective
1t is novel and unique conception of arbitration.

the people. Citizens have learned the principles of
municipal government and have into desire
Tor nobler city. The war will last forever, but
each victory FOR the cause of good government will
witness the erection Of another and always better
structure in commemoration of advancement and in
celebration of the endurance of right

gratficaton OF extermnating the brood of wreckers

steady and healthy progress not the socalled peace

ST. Louis action shall be the mace for better things
and better times
As if st. Louis We're the only city where crime
held carnival the world cried "Shame!" when the
renaissance began. At home peadngs for peace
were heard. Men of prominence dreaded disrepute
for the city and cautioned moderation in exposures
But the people We're aware that the hour of retrlbr
ton had come and they realized that Of the shame
would come honor and out of wrong, right. They
did not desire peace. They do not desire 1t now.
Properly Is it said that the next generation will
not behold the end of the bloody war. The end is
not near either in ST. Louis in any other great
American city. The end will not come until human
passion loses its inclination for evil that will be the
end of all things. Eternal vigilance" therefore, lis

st. Louis is not deceivng itself to its future

working to have only good men nominated this spring
and elected. This battle will be determnative of
conditions for several years. consequently Il will be
vigorously contested In addition we are preparing
to elect board of thirteen Frceholders to formulate
4 new organic law for the city. The new Charter
will, with trustworthy. competent men in office I'M
prove municipal affairs.
But we well know that good government will not
be permanent, under the best circumstances, with
out incessant war. We do not look for peace. Not
the most beautiful word in human language, but iron

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.

Public ownership of street railway systefns is
recommended by Brooklyn Grand Jury for restOra-
ton Of proper rapid transit facilities in that city The
jury stated in its report that the officers of the main
company had stated that they could afford relief to
the public against unsatisfactory conditions but
would not do so
Defiance of public rights and vested authority by
declaration of unwillingness to improve the service
While confessing that improvements could be made
much worse than declination to pay remuneration
to the municipality for privileges held by franchise
Grants are issued to private corporations primarily to
afford accommodations to the public, and refusal to
render adequate service only be accepted as an
afront and denial Of the intrinsic purpose Of the
franchise. Privileges were granted for public serv-
ice; If the rights of the public ignored or denied
the franchise ceases to have practical value to the
people.
Public ownership OF public utility enterprises prop
er will prove to be the ultimate solution of many ex-
listing evils, provided the Idea be not extended to
projects beyond the pale of public service If munic
ipalities should in their enthusiasm encroach in the
domain OF private effort they would not only incur
grievous loss of public money, but would play havoc
with Legitimate Investments. Public ownership is
wise principle within reasonable bounds; outside of
these bounds it is detrimental agency.
Street railways come well within the scope Of pub
lie ownership. So do lighting plants and waterworks
ana all institutions which general requirements
OF the community; in brief. all public service enter
prises But there is no reason why municipalities
should engage in commercial pursuits, carry the
public ownership principle to impracticable and un-
profitable extremes.
Political corruption and false standards are the
worst OF all foes against which public ownership
tends. Public enterprises cannot as a rule be man.
