Damocracy and Municipal

Wei the Democracy oil Onlca-
~ has sounded a bugle note
and unfurled an economic banner
which will ring and wave
through out the country.
Nothing more important and
nothing more significant than
his Chicago election has stirred
municipal and economic politics
- the generation in which we
i've ii officially sets I'm motion
force which will clamor at the
American ballot box until it has
adefnite unsatisfactory answer.
The second city and the great
METROPOLIS Of the greater part OF
the republic has by an overwhelm-
ino majority. committed itself to
trial of the mighty principle OF
municipal ownership. The incl
dent is worthy Of the vital inter
est and attention OF every Amer
lean who thinks and votes.
There was never an issue more
clearly made. The selfish capt.
talists owning the franchises Of
the Chicago street railway sys-
tenn have for forty years abused
the confidence and liberallty OF
the people Graft, greed and
watered stock at enormous profits
have swallowed up all considera-
ton of public service. and the
corporations enjoying the public
franchise have compelled the
great city of Chicago to submit
to the most execrable street rail-
way service in America. The
selfshness and greed of the cor
porations have been the lnstru-
ments of their own undolng. and
the outraged sense Of the people
thundered in the ballots on the
fourth of April.
A majority of about p, 600
citizens ernphatically declared;
First. against granting any more
franchises to the corporation,
and second. in favor Of the I'M

There has been mlch sluirm-

some rather frenzied haste in
proffering explanations of this
remarkable vote outside Of the
great issue upon which it was
cast. With due regard to these
partisan protests. and with the
trivial and inconsequentlal swept
away. several great central facts
loom definite and clear.
First-Chicago went Repubh-
