municipal ownership in Great Britain
has saved money for the taxpayers,
given better service, and made easier
conditions for the employees. He al
so argues, from what he deems sue
cess in Chicago's ownership of electric
light and water, that success in trac-
ton ownership is not impossible, and
he is urging the building of municipal
lines upon those streets of which the
city already has control. Chicago's
traction service, under private con-
troll, has been as bad as this evil
world affords, and every liberal or
half-liberal intelligence must wish,
with much or little hope, for the sue
cessful outcome of the task in the
intricacies of which Mayor Dunno is
now involved.-Collier's Weekly

Best Fur Is Taken Early.

Roughly speaking the best, that is
he darkest fur, is obtained at the be-
ginning Of the hard winters. The
skins are most easily removed when
nature has provided much fall feeding
material and fattened the owners
against severe weather. Pelts come
to full maturity late, according to
5ome authorities, when the winter is
~oing to be prolonged.

Laws More Lenient.

Less than a hundred years ago the
human race had about 100 different Of
lenses which were punishable by
death. This number has decreased to
possibly three, or less, in civilized
countries. Treason does not usually
bring death as it's punishment except
when the nation is actually engaged
in war.

Origin of Term Graft"

Municipal corruption of various
kinds is now generally indicated by
the word graft" The origin of this
term is obscure, but it is believed to
have arisen from dishonesty in low
lier spheres. Bartletts Dictionary of
Americanisms" defines grating" as
pocket-picking, Hotten's "Slang Die
tionary" suggested that the slang use
of graft" might be corruption of
special work of gardening.

HINkY DINk ON MUNICIPAL OWN
ERSHIP.

II. Dink is back from his inspec-
ton of conditions elsewhere, and his
conclusion is that the Europeans are
a bunch of has-beens." Hinkey's con-
illusions upon municipal ownership,
the forefront problem of his large
town, agree with Mr. Dalrymple's, al
though he reaches his @. e. d. from
an opposite direction. Mr.. Dalrymple,
whose report Mayor Dunno deemed
it clever politics to withhold, in sub.
stance declared that municipal owner
ship worked admirably abroad, but
would fail in Chicago where the city's
business is the football of vigorous
partisan machines. Dink, on the Eu-
ropean aspect, dissents. He studied
municipal ownership in Glasgow for
two solid days He talked with motor
men and conductors and went to the
bottom of the thing. 1.-The system is
profitable" he concludes, "but the
wages are only third of those paid
in Chicago, the fares are higher, and
the service is rotten" So much for
Glasgow. Now for Chicago. We un-
derstood before election that Dink had
lent the weight of his great name to
the platform of Mayor Dunno. Pos
sibly we are mistaken. At any rate
now he says: Our people don't I'M
derstand yet what is meant by munich
pal ownership. They simply think
they are going to get something fol
nothing with trading stamps thrown
in. Chicago is hardly ready to go up
against it." With Dink and Dalrymple
concurring on this point, it looks as
If it were indeed true, as one acute
philosopher has observed, that in the
bright lexicon of Mayor Dunno "im-
mediate" is a synonym for Gin the
sweet by and by"
If Mayor Dunno has changed his
views to some extent, he Is not the
first to make some shading after cleo
ton, and the change is a fortunate
one for Chicago. He is working earn
estly and hard to find solution to
the difficulties which he approached so
gayly The cause of municipal own
ership has undoubtedly received a
black eye from the Chicago victory,
but If there is an ultimate satisfac-
tory establishment of the system the
effect on the rest of the country will
be just as strong as If the radicals
had not in the year 1905 made large
calibre speeches before an election,
and then, as soon as victory was
theirs, taken what resembled strange
ly the positions of their antagonists
Mayor Dunno does not agree with Pro-
fessor Dink on the conclusions to be
drawn from Europe. He finds that

PLEADING GUILTY
DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL
CHESTER DOYLE HEARD FROM.

Attorney General Andrews has re-
ceived wireIesses from both Deputy
Prosser and Chester Doyle, regarding
two of the murder cases being tried on
the big island. Hawaii is piling up
bad record for murder cases, and Pros
ser was sent over as there were two
cases on at once and County Attorney
Williams, even with the assistance of
Deputy n. w. Aluli, could not attend
to both.
Doyle telegraphed that the trial he
has been attenting, assisting Williams
before Judge Mathewman, ended in a
verdict of guilty of mansaughter in
the first degree, for which the minimum
penalty is twenty years hard labor.
1t was a japanese woman-killing case.
Doyle stated that at the end of the
trial he had started for Honokaa to
assist Prosser, before Judge Parsons.
Prosser telegraphed that the accused
in his case had offered to plead guilty,
and he asked for instructions as to
accepting such Il plea and returning
home. Andrews replied approving a
plea of guilty of murder in the second
degree and nothing further has been
heard from PTOsser. 1t is assumed
that such plea was taken or that the
defendants offer was to plead guilty
/ to lesser crime and that the trial is
going ahead.
