PUBLIC
OWNERSHIP
DISCUSSED
CONTINUED from first page.)

A. A. Lee said public ownership had
not been success in small places. He
lived in the east part of the city, and
they had neither light or water. He be.
lieved the city should acquire a plant
at the earliest possible moment, and
put light and water in reach of all.
John Bayne said all seemed to favor
public ownership of a light plant, al
though there had been great improve.
ment in the service. He believed the
city had best water service it ever
had. He had visited the crib, and his
appetite for Salem water had been inn
proved. No effort at regulation had so
far been successful, as the corporations
had ways of evading the attempts of
the city council. Still he would try
both. The time for the city to act was
when the water power could be had,
aud he believed the offer made to the
city should be accepted, as water pow
ers all over the valley are being picked
up.
K. r. Ryan said in no case where a
city of 10000 or over had ever taken
up public ownership had ever been a
failure. He. cited a number of cities
where the cost of light had been re.
dueed one-half to one-third. Like the
other speakers, every point made for
public ownership was heartily applaud
ed.
w. A. Cusick spoke in an able and
convincing manner for better lighted
city. He favored committee of busi-
ness men to take up this whole ques-
tion, and go to the bottom Of it. He be-
lieved the city had the ability and the
power to do as well or better than
private corporation could do. He would
not act hastily, but he believed in get.
ting hold of the right end of the club,
and proceeding to acquire plant, if
necessary to protect the interests of the
city.
J. L. Stockton talked on similar
line, using great moderation, not
agreeing with DR.. Cusick about the
streets being well lighted. He compli-
mented the present management Of the
electric light plant, as it had improved
matters 80 per cent. He complimented
the audience on the fine business spirit
it had manifested, and commented on
the good spirit of all the discussion. 1t
was the right way to go at these things
and he believed great good would
come of it. On motion a committee of
three was appointed to take such ac-
tion as was best deemed in the inter.
est of the city, and report at a future
meeting. The following were nominated
and appointed; DR.. w. A. Cusick, j.
l.. Stockton and +. Hofer. Adjourned.

I 1t may be a little difficult to adjust
ones mind to the idea that the cleo
ton of a Democratic president is not
menace to the business of the country:
But slow witted journals will be aided
in this difficult task by remembering
that the nomination of Parker was
forced upon the Democratic convention
by men who supported Mckinley, and
that he is secretly distrusted or openly
opposed by nearly every sincere sup
porter of Bryan. If Bryan's election
would have been a menace to business
we do not see how that of Parker can
be for the same reason If MCKINLEY
election saved the business of the coun-
try, we do not see how the election of
the candidate of the Mckinley Demo-
Gratis can destroy it,
There are plenty of good reasons for
opposing Parker that will bear logical
examination. 1t ought to be a source
of comfort to every citizen, and above
all TO every man of business, that no
fatal shock to national credit or pubic
prosperity is to be feared from the
election of either candidate. The truth
is that both are in sense heirs of the

ECHO OF THE MUTINY.
Charles ID. Ennis Arrested for Fur

the stockade of the prison. and in that
way engendered the big mutIny OF Mo-
Vember Z, 1901, in which 81 convicts
made their escape, and Guard Waldrupe
was killed.
Accordingly Ennis was arrested on
saturday afternoon as he walked out
OF the prison gate, his term of sentence
just having been completed. He was
at once placed in the county jail and
charged with completely in the murder
OF Guard Waldrupe. Upon arraiGn-
ment before the United States commits

consequently be tried before the United

United States officers are on their :rail.
ENNIS is expected to confess after the
series of hard ''Sweats' which the fed
eral officers are planning to give him
shortly.
Ennis was sent up from Ardmore, I.
T., February 13, 1902, under the name
of John Porter. Shortly after his in
generation Record Clerk McClaugh,y,
the Bertillon expert, noticed some pc
cullar1ties about Ennis that branded
him as an ex-convict. He seemed to
be familiar with prison ways and tl4is
caused the record clerk to become sus-
piclouS. He asked Porter, as they ask
all cOnVictS when measured, whether
he had ever been in prison before, but
Porter denied that he had been.
But the prison authorities felt that En-
mis- was not new in jail walls and by fast
ening small clues together they made up
their minds that he had something to do
with passing arms into the Jail for the
mutineers, and so Saturday when his time
was up he was at once rearreSted and will
be held for further investigation.
The first time that Ennis was released
from prison was in August, 1901. He was
4 pal of Tom Hating. Gilbert Mullins and
other ring leaders in the mutiny. He went
to the territory, where shortly after his
arrival he held up man and got $40 from
him. With this it is said he purchased
two revolvers and came back to Leaven-

Junction City, Kan. Aug. 22.-To-
day there began on the new natlona4
range on the FIT. Riley reservation, the
greatest small arms competition ever
held in the United States. The plans
for a national match which should
bring together the expert shots OF the

Root, ex-secretary of war, who de-
sired to stimulate interest in marks
manship. Today's shoot. which has
brought here representative marksmen
from 10 states, marked the realization
of the ex-secretary's efforts. There
are nearly 5000 marksmen here from
the . state InilitiaS while the navy
and marine corps each has team
here, and the army is represented by a
team from the cavalry and one from
the infantry.
Each team is composed of eighteen
men, twelve on the team. three alter
natives, a captain, a coach and a

For Republican paper the Minneap-

Judge Parker. The position of the Tri-

as follows:

tend to find menace to the business of
the country in Judge Parker's views on
