ownership strongly favCTs q rigid civil
service provision for the conduct OF public
utilities, and that a well established merit
system would come nearer Givorcng any
public utility from politics than it is
separated now.
Mr.. Harrison saws that those who
object to municipal ownership society on
the ground OF the fear that it would re.
suit in the creation ola political machine
might at least be inclined to look favor
ably upon ownership without operation
which plan he maintains is both possible
and practicable. He uses the street Cal
sy stem as an example and says that a
city may reserve to itself the ownership
OF the right-of-way and lay rails along it
and then let to the highest bidder the
right to operate cars upon these rails
subject to certain conditions. He points
out that this system has been success
FULLY tried in Toronto.
Referring to the immense political
power Nlciueu ~ tHc uisdttNaiitdSe VI tiIe
people and to the advantage OF the cor
pora'ions under private ownership. Mr..
harrison contends that, properly admin.
istered, public ownership would reach
farther to qualification of politics than
any advanced step toward the conduct
OF municipal affairs that has yet been
suggested.
Replying to the argument that private
companies can operate with greater
economy til IN would be possible under a
system of public ownership, Mr.. Harrison
denies the claim and says that even
though there be truth in the claim, the
public obtains no benefit as a result OF
that economy. He maintains that under
public ownership it would be possible to
devote p,ofits to improvement OF service,
reduction of rates and increase OF wages,
while under private ownership, profits go
mainly to the increase OF dividends.
While Mr. Harrison admits that public
ownership would prove hard blow to
the speculative world he maintains that
it would result in permanent benefit to a
legitimate business venture. Under
public ownership the reason for watering
OF stocks would disappear and there would
be no great bulk of securities saltled up
on an unsuspecting public, wages would
reach u fair point and the surplus earn
ings would apply to lowering the general
taxes, not to swelling the bank account
Of the already over-rich stockholders.
And among the val Gus benefits to be
obtained from public ownership, Mr..
Harrison counts as not the least import
ant the promise that it would ''tend to
free any city from gang politics with its
attendant evils OF boss, Doodle legislation
and public spoilation
1t is good sign when vigorous and
enterprising men like Carter II. Harrison
take the lead in practical reforms. Doubt
less the time will come in this country
when under the beneicent results Of
munich ownership men will wonder
how it was ever possible for individuals
to control municipal franchises and grow
rich on the profits therefrom.

Hon. ], Taylor Ellyson was in happy
frame OF mind concerning the outlook
for Democratic success In the State this
fall when seen in his office by a repre-
sentative of The Times-Dspatch on
yesterday.
The popular chairman saw nothing in
the way of Democratic success as a
general proposition, though he admitted
that there were close fights in some of
the House and Senate districts, II be-
lieve we shall have overwhelming ma
jorities In both houses OF the next GEN.

tration has helped US. and proportionately
our people have unregistered tho other
side. While the campaign appears dull,
and Is undoubtedly so from a State
standpoint, am of opinion that interest
In the local contests ls sufficient to bring
out a large vote, and once out, we may
count upon our share of them"
Mr., Ellyson expressed the belief that
the election this fall would be absolutely
fair, and he welcomed the spirit which is
abroad In the State to purify the ballot
and to place the election methods beyond
the slightest suspicion of unfairness. The
chairman announced some appointments,
which will be found in another column

LEXINGTON, VA, Oct. 23.-The cadets

Superintendent, General shipp. in an
order published before the cadets. stated
that 'In consequence Of the state Of ap-
rrehension existing In the minds OF the
CADETS and of the parents OF the cadets.
by reason of the number of cases OF sick
ness In the Institute and vicinity, and in
response to urgent applications OF a large
number of parents, leave OF absence for
thirty days Is hereby granted to all
cadets.''
There were no additional cases OF fever
reported, and all the sick are doing
we'll.
None are critical and the fever is Of
the mildest type.
PRESIDENT DENNY'S STATEMENT.
President Denny made statement to-
day to students of Washington and Lee
University, in which he said that:
.In the Judgment Of the University
authorities, there Is no reason for alarm
with reference to the present health con-
ditlon Of this community. It was true
there were a number OF typhoid fever
5oped in Lexington some days ago, and
several among students of the Univer-
sity, all of which, with one exception,
are of very mild type"
All sick students are doing we'll. The
cadets are rapidly leaving, and tomorrow
all will be gone.
Reports emanating from other sources
than here and sent out have made the
situation much exaggerated, and caused
much undue alarm. Here there is no
alarm, and the present situation is very
assuring.
The law class of the Untvcr-
sity, at mass meeting, requested that
the school be not closed, and that the
students were in no wise uneasy or
alarmed. President Denny said the Uni
versity would not close. No new cases
have developed In Lexington.
Tho Lexington Board of Health and
physicians here have not reached any
definite conclusion as to the cause OF the
fever.
1t cannot be due to the water, as the
town and Institute are supplied directly
from mountain springs, several miles dis,
tant.
The State Bacterioogist at Richmond
analyzed samples of water from Lexing-
ton last July and his meteorological ex-
animation and chemical analysis showed
the drinking water here was:
