eigners they have no business to do with them,
therefore the foreign population settles elsewhere.

found In these same counties Atty years from now.
Not anywhere else In this country can there be
found a settlement which Is more truly American.

II Is treatment of this kind that swcs the de.
mand for municipal ownership OF street railroads
BRookLYN, July 7. THOMAS j. KEENAN,
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1905-07-09
Chicago's Municipal Ownership snag.

The present situation in Chicago leaves
1t an open question whether Mayor
DUNE and his associates were without
proper information, or whether they
fooled the people to serve their political
ends. Certainly their recent campaign
was made on a platform of immediate
ownership of the street railways OF the
city. 1t is only less certain that Mr..
dunno and his fellow candidates were
elected by those who believed that the
Immediate ownership program would
be carried out. The more conservative
plans of Candidate HARLAN were re-
jected by an emphatic majority. 1t is
charitable, and probably correct to
attribute the error to ignorance rather
than to any deliberate misreprcsenta-
ton. But it now appears that there are
legal barriers to the immediate owner
ship project, and Mayor DUNE said,
on Thursday last, that he did not con-
slider absolute municipal ownership
and operation as practical, just now"
As Chicago has already reached the
limit OF her borrowing powers, funds for
street railway enterprises may be had
only by recourse to the issuance of GER
tificates under the Mueller law. Before
such certificates can be issued, the clearly
specified project for which it is proposed
to issue them must be submitted to
vote Of the people, three-afths majority
being necessary for approval. This
process means delay at its best, with
defeat of the project probability.
But the Mayor has another plan, sub
stitute, which he regards as feasible, and
which he evidently hopes to carry out.
He would effect the incorporation of
company to be managed by five men
tho command the confidence of the
people of Chicago for their personal
integrity, their business ability, and their
pronounced sympathy with the policy Of
municipal ownership" To this company
he would grant twenty year franchise
for a street car system covering, approx
imately, 24O miles. There are to be no
bonds, and the stock, limited to a Q per
cent dividend is to be deposited with
selected trust company SO that outsiders
cannot get hold Of it and control the
railway
The course of municipal ownership in
Chicago does not run smoothly. and the
developments of the case are not en-
couraging for the advocates of the own
ership plan. The follies and the corrup-
ton which Chicago tolerated in earlier
days are now bearing their fruit. Mayor
DUNES schemes are little else than an
effort to evade the payment Of the draft
which her past made on her future. In
her atrocious system of street transport
tation she has been making payments on
account for number of years. She may
yet find that she can escape only by a
payment In full for the misdeeds of her
corrupt and venal City Councils of
earlier days.

more than q Senator Of the United States.
Tho pay Of our Ambassadors Is small,
relatively, to that Of many men In cor
poration and business places who are
relatively obscure. In the great Depart
ments at Washington are men occupying
subordinate places which demand high
and peculiar abilities who receive sal
aries no larger than those paid to routine
bank clerks and very much less than the
pay of many travelling statesmen.
Shall the public service regulate It's
pay by this outside standard? Is there
any reason to expect that II the people
paid their servants In the Government as
much as men Of equivalent abilities are
able to obtain In private life the public
business would be better conducted or
q better quality Of oftloeholdes would
be obtained2 Gould Mr.. ROOSEVELT get
an ADLER Cabinet II the salaries Of the
members were made quite ten times
the 5000 year now paid them2
The probability Is that he would do
worse. The sort Of men who would be
attracted to such public service by the
money reward would be Of very ques-
tionable stripe. Our whole policy and
practise In this republic from its founda-
ton have been to make the pecuniary
rewards Of public office relatively modest.
So far from attempting to compete with
outside opportunities for money making.
the Government has disdained the sug-
gestion that any such sordid standard
was applicable to the public service. 1t
has never tried to buy men to enter into
the high posts Of its service.
Does this'require Of them self-sacri-
flce2 Is there sacrifice in accepting the
honor and responsibility Of public office?
Is there not some other standard than
mere pay in money which a man fit for
high public place sets before him? How
about the presidents and professors Of
colleges and universities, the thousands
OF educated men and women teaching in
the schools, the ministry of religion, the
servants Of art?
Salaries OF high officers Of the Federal
Government are too small, unquestion-
ably, and bills proposing a moderate
increase in them have been introduced
into Congress and ought to pass. But
never should the standard Of their pay
be determined by the size Of the money
prizes which peculiar abilities or oppor-
tunities obtain in business and profess
sional life The American people want
the services Of no man who counts it an
intoerable sacrifice to enter into the
honor and the distinction of their service
because he can make more money in
another employment.

To THR EDITOR OF THE SUN-,sr: What a drt-
ference makes who causes accident In the city
streets. Yesterday at the corner OF Heavier and VII
liam streets a mounted policeman rode over man
who was crossing the street cutting his head quite
badly. The ofIicer WAS very Indignant when spoken
70 about the accident: said the man was entirely
at fault. DC. Result No arrests and no report or
mention OF the accident"
Suppose the man had been run down by an auto

would have been arrested and accused Of entire
disregard OF human life and It would not have been
called an accident" but by some much harsher
name, WILLIAM STREET.

was the scene OF merriment. About
7.3O o'clock appeared o jolly little
crowd of intruders fully equipped
with all necessaries for the occasion.
The very cordial reception with
which we met more than counterbal.
anced the surprise and soon were the
adventures made TO feel that they
were within hospitable walls. After
a few preliminaries it was rumored
that tie spacious room be put in or
der and the partners take their
places. Prof. d. was on hand with
his old Cremona, assisted by our es-
teemed host. it was made lively for
quite q while. The only drawback
was the failure Of Prof. G. to appear
on the scene thereby losing q part
OF his life.
Refreshments were served about
eleven o'clock after which the Ian.
cirs and few waltzs concluded the
entertainment. A vote of thanks
was rendered our very kind and
