LIGHTING pEPARTMENT.

Although the Lighting Department is one of the
most important branches of the municipal govern.
ment # has responsibility than authority. Its
business is transacted through the Board of Public
Improvements; yet its chief is not member of the
board and is not in position TO submit ideas
with any force.
The Lighting Department maintains supervision
over public lighting, just the Park Commissioner
manages the parks Public lighting is an expensive
and probleYatical work. The department that con-
tros the Dvce is supposed protect the citys in

dttfOns can be improved. The Supervisor Of City
Lighting has supervision electric wires conduits

be must act according to decisions of the board.
Evidently the trainers of the Charter contemplated
that the chief OF the Lighting Department should he
a member Of the board. for many reasons. The
Charter authorizes creation OF the Office of Gas Com
missioner and provides that he should have seat in
the board Were the city to erect small gas plant
the purposes of the Charter probably could be full
ded and the chief of the Lighting Department would
have, as he deserves, voice in the board.
However since the Charter was formulated cleo
tricity has superseded gas in public lighting and,
though the Lighting Department is as important an
ONCE as 1t would be under any circumstances, its
chief continues to occupy comparatively subordinate
position. He assumes much responsibility and has
comparatively little influence even in his own official
Affairs ~
At this time there is no trouble between the S,-
perysor Of City Lighting and the board or any menu
her OF the board. Therefore suggestions as to his
disadvantages are especially appropriate. Efforts
should be made to increase the influence of this
officer and give him adequate authority to submit
recommendations and support them
The annual report of the Lighting Department is

hours Of public lighting 1t Is void of original sug-

ADMISSIONS.

One pretty fair proof that the Democratic party
possesses something rather effective in the way of is
the fact that the Republican press is moved
at this early date to deny the proposition concert
of editorial voices, apparently at signal breaks into
doeful c0njectures over what is termed Democracys
plight
Surely there is nothing reprehensibe in the singing
Of the theme. 1t merely invites the comment that
chorus of blind men singing about gloom is alto
gether convincing a sunshny day. One feature of
the business however is not just exactly it should
be from the standpoint of good morals and fairness
and that sort of thing which is that the party purpose
Of these organs is not above sort of misepresenta
ton which is equivalent TO misquoting.
ror instance, Southern newspaper is quoted as
admitting" that Democracy is issueless and without
q leg to stand upon. Now, matter Of fact, the
Southern paper is rabidy Republican. Its political
complexion is concealed by the Northern and Eastern
chorus Of quoters and the reader is simply informed
that the Southern press has admitted all sorts of hope
lessness and futility on behalf of the Democratic
party. 1t is conceivable that somewhat different inn
preston would be created by the statement that the
Midgeville Blackwump Republican,, with potato
paid circulation of seventeen, admitted on behalf of
the great Southern Democracy that there was use
Unless somebody rises up to deny it. almost anybody
can admit anything on behalf Of anybody.
On this same principle great Eastern papers are
making admissions however, are less calcu-
lated to deceive For instance, nobody will be i'm
posed upon by the Pttsbug Gazettes statement that
notorious protection organ admits that free trade
has lost much ground in recent years and that the
Democratic party contains "a very numerous contn-
gent Of protectionsts" Can 1t be possible that the
Gazette does not know that the paper in question is
great advocate Of Rooseveltism and protection?
