the principle that the civic corporation should

panies is steadily gaining in favor, and it will be
long before every city shall have solved its pc

The municipality probably cannot engage success
fully in all publc-service enterprises But it
least enlarge its powers and control to protect
its interests and insure satisfaction to its peo-
pie. Municipal influence publc-service corpora

When the element of bad blood and general

OF developments grows bright 1t in munich

cals-a good-Omen circumstance for the public.
There is nothing to be gained when honest men
fall out but when great fixers begin branding each
other justice thrves. The Washington situation
promises fresh illustration of the thief catching
the thief. Great boodlers have instructive reluc-
tance to falling aones they must involve and drag
down with them all their brother booders All of
them understand each others weaknesses: fact
which tends considerably develop the truth. Self
protection results in hedging. giving the other fellow
shade the of it, and the other fellow realiates;
and conspiracy broken and big felons are
out-eXampIg each other with determinations.
President Roosevelt's first official uterance upon
what premises to be the greatest scandal in United
States history advises that investigations go
the bottom Just now, however the people are more
interested in the top. Let have the dark secrets
limited in the threats of the big men: these the
men who know the whole story; these the men
who know the relationship of the party TO the scandal
tile part which the Republican machine has played.
The Presidents utterances are commendable for
their vigor. 1t remains to be whether Theodore
Roosevelt candidate for nomination will exert his
full power aid embrace his full opportunity TO lay
hare the vast swindng scheme which includes not
"ny the underlings. but of high station and
authority in his administration and in his party.
