This is the dictum of a French dra-

that French plays have become a syn

WHAT DID HEARSTS VOTE
MEAN?
VOTE

A discussion has arisen as 70
whether New York is shown bv the
recent election to be in favor of muni-
c1pai ownership. The fact is pointed
out py some persons that Mr.. Hearst,
running on an ownership ticket. came
Wlthln few votes of being elected.
others are equally certain that Mr..
Hearst did not get his votes because
ne is in favor of ownership, but in
spite Of that fact; that his strength
was a protest against Tammany. i
But if it is true that the peonle
simply wanted to protest against
Murphy, why dill they not vote for
WINS, who every oily conceded womb
make the best mayor of the three2
because they also wanted to rebuke
the Odell machine, is the answer ia
THIS. But the Odell machine was not
anywhere near SO offensive as the
Murphy machine and besides. Mr..
WINS had given bonds to run the office
himself if elected =
II may as well be admitted that Mr..
Hearst got the votes of thousands who
added to hatred of Murphy love for
the ownership idea. They had a right
to vote for Hearst, too, because ali
the other candidates had dabbled more
or less in ownership talk. McClel-
Ian was milk-and- water ownership
man, and Mr.. WINS promised to con-
hscate the gas companies Immediate
~ when he came into office
IL 1t was right for Mr.. WINS to ad-
Vocate city gas and Mayor McClel-
ian to point with pride to the achieve
lnent OF public ferries and municipal
prldge lighting plants, Mr.. Hearst
thought 1T but right that he should an
peal TO the people with a wholesale
ana consistent plan of doing up the
monopolies. He promised them SIS
cent gas and subways built by the
city. He promised to restore the own
ershlp and management of the pre-
clous island of Manhattan to the pee
pull, and they heard him.
Notwithstanding the dismal failure
of Mayor Dunno of Chicago to accom-
pllsh anything toward municipal
ownership of any kind, the issue is
one which must be faced in American
po1tlcs. 1t is a living and growing
issue and it means so mucn that it
deserves calm study. Whether public
ownership is practical and profitable
Is debatable question, but there is
no doubt the voters pretty generally
are disguised with the way they have
been looted by franchise corporations.
They will vote to knock the corpora
ton even when they are not so sure
they would like to have the politicians
take over their rights in the streets.
This is the unfortunate part of the
voting on this subject. Much of it is
done in spirit of bitterness against
individuals who may not have treated
the public unfairly. This is scarcely
the question. The question is whether
for the future it is better to make ad-
vantageous contracts with private per-
sons to manage public utilities or to
| take over the duties of public owner
| ship and management.
