McCleary and Municipalization.

McCleary and Munlc1pallzatIon.
The editor has known Congressman
Nc Cleary nearly quarter Of century
and during all that time has scarcely
read g speech or interview given by
him which bears the stamp OF fairness
or fulness.
Little Mac is a furious canpaigner.
He has ridden upon the wave in the
Old Second of Minnesota with all the
appearance Of greatness, yet he never
meets question or discusses an issue
with that frankne5s which should be
demanded of al in public position.
Recently Me Cleary gave out an inter
view on municipal ownership of public
utilities. In it he said: 81 think our
consular reports, as a rule, paint the
socialistic experiments abroad in colors
which are too bright. There is such
thing as telling the truth, but not all
the truth.
''For example, we learn from the ad-
vocates of municipal ownership in this
country, who point with so much pride
to Glasgow's experience, that you can
ride on the street cars in that city for
a half penny, which is true. But is that
all the truth? The distance which you
can ride for that sum is so short that
all except the aged and infrn ought to
be ashamed to ride at all.
''The result of graduated schedule
OF rates, based on distance, is most I'M
fortunate in it's social effects; the poor
people of the city, instead of getting
out into the real suburbs, as they do by
our electric cars, with uniform rate
Of fare, 60 only so far as they can af-
ford, with the result that population
congests in the downtown sections.
Twenty per cent of the population Of
Glasgow lives in one-room tenements. |
90 not say this system of street car
fares is wholly responsible for that con-
dition, but l believe it contributes to-
ward it.
Now it would be placing Nc Cleary
at heavy discount to assume that the
above is all he knows of the subject of
the American idea of municipal owner
ship we are not willing to do so. On
the theory that it is "better to be hated
than pitied,' we would rather discredit
McClearys integrity than discount his
intelligence.
It were insane to assume that an
American intelligence calling for adj
vance movement along civic lines, in
tends to adopt any foreign country's
Or city's methods in toto. What there
is good in Glasgows municipal railway
methods will be adopted-what is I'M
suited to American wants, American
ideals, American notions, will be dis
carded. Nc Cleary sees only some
Objectionable features in Glasgow's de-
tails Me Cleary overlooks the fact of
average cheapness of service and sees
only the extreme fares. He fails to
appreciate the general system because
Of some trivial detail that would be lop-
ped off in adaptation-in fact he does
not seem to see that the proposition is
Que Of adaptation Of a principal and
not the adoption of a system. Nc
Cleary might we'll gather an inspiration
from the fact that almost every little
town in his district owns it's own electric

ence to the ports of one state over
those of another by any regulation OF
commerce. And. second, even If the
law itself did not absolutely compel
them to do this. the necessities OF their
position would force them to it. For
the clamors of rival localities with IN
tense and opposing interests would be
so great that in order to escape from
the charges of favoritism now brought
against the railroad companies, they
would be obliged to adopt the principle
of a mileage distance tariff as the only
one which public officials could justify
There is absolutely no other rule
which they could adopt which would
free them, and the administration
which would be responsible for their
actions, from the charge of favoritism
in building up one section or one To-
cality of the country at the expense of
another. They might, if the constitu-
ton itself did not prohibit it, try for a
while some other basis of action, but
no administration and no party re-
sponsibIe for it could long stand up
under the charges which would be
brought against it and the pressure ex-
erted upon it, and they would be
forced to fall back on a distance tariff
as their only refuge. The momentous
business, social and political evils
which Turk in this proposition to con-
fer the rate fixing power upon the
commission, are incalculable. If the
people of Iowa desire to lay the axe to
the root of the tree of her prosperity,
let them follow the lead of Governor
Cummins and President Roosevelt in
the adoption of this policy

NO SCARCITY OF TEACHERS.
Lyon County Schools All Taken With
Good Salaries.

Emporia, Aug. 16.-County Superin-
tendent Henderson says all the district
school boards in the county have select
ed teachers for the ensuing school year
The wages this year average about the
same as last years. The last school
was taken yesterday The county
schol paying the highest salary in the
county is the Hartford high school,
Miss Anna Brogan is principal, on a
salary of $S5 a month. The district
that will spend the least money in
school teachers salary is No. 81, which
will hold a five month session at $50
month. Several of the schools Nrill pay
$50 a month, but No. 21's term will be
shorter than any other district paying
that salary.
There was no shortage of teachers in
Lyon county this year. Half dozen
Lyon county teachers who hold county
certificates did not get schools and will
probably apply in counties where there
is a shortage of teachers.

A Timely Appeal.

To the Montpelier Examiner. the Viii
lage Improvement Society, or whom it
may concern:
Say, what's the matter with Montpe-
lier? 0, nothing, only it is about the
filthiest town of it's size between the
two oceans. The casual observer will
notice as he or she passes along our
streets that the alley s and some of the
back yards are just wreaklng with filth
and if general cleaning up is not in
stituted soon, when warm weather
comes there will be sufficient crop of
microbes and other deadly germs to de-
stroy the whole Japense army, if turned
loose on the little Brownies. If a Rus
sian officer should come here and secure
a few bottles of Montpelier microbes,
he .uld revolutionize the killing bust
ness in Manchuria.
Another deplorable condition in our
town IS the condition of the sidewalks.
Some of them stand at an angle of 25
degrees, some of the planks are entirely
gone and others broken. In fact nearly
all of the sidewalks in town need thor
ough repairing.
Another of Montpelier's scenic
beauties" is the way some of the water
bitches have been cleaned. The dirt,
leaves and filth have been shoveled up
and left to broil and tester in the sun on
the grass, that grew along the edges of
the bitches. ready to tumble back if a
dog, that escaped poison, should run
oyer it.

Star Valley Stake Tabernacle.

AS there was never any definite
understanding as to what kind of
building the stake tabernacle is to be,
or how it is to be built and as people
are naturally interested in this matter
by having to contribute toward it's
erection from start to finish, therefore
we publish below short outline of the
dimensions and style of the building.
This building is being erected on the
west half of the public square, a most
beautiful and magnificent site.
The building will front to the west.
will be 55x100 #. with tower 90 # ;.
square and a wing for main entrance on
each side. The wings will be l2x24 #.
and will have stairs leading into the
gallery. There is basement 30x50 f.
for heating plant.
The walls are to be built entirely of a
light sandstone faced and laid in even
layers. They will be about 2Sft high.
The seating capacity will be about 1900
to 1000.
The floor will have gentle slope to-
wards the stand; the latter Is built over
the Decentralization Independent.

AN OFFICIOUS PERSON
SNURBED.

Recently some person seeking no
toriety addressed a letter to King Ed
ward VII of England AMI President
Roosevelt, in which he requested oil
them some expression of their senti
ments on the Confederacy and its Vet
Grams to be read at the Reunion of Con-
federates, in Louisville, KY.
As should have been anticipated, the
answers of King Edward and of Presi-
dent Roosevelt were to the point, and
; if not direct snub, will teach this per
son lesson from which he may profit
in the future
The craving for notoriety in some
persons is SO intense as to exceed all
bounds of civility, decorum and reason
In what sense could King Edward or
Mr.. Roosevelt refer to the Lost Cause
and its noble Veterans except in keep
ing with the facts of History, and what
ever they could or would say, would
not add to or take from the Confei-
eracy the glorious achievements of its
gallant men and noble women whose
deeds illumes in their splender the
brightest pages devoted to patriotism
and self-sacri6ce in the records of the
world, but it is not the first, nor will
it be the last person who, seeking no.
toriety has gone beyond alt conservative
limits Of propriety and has therefore
written himself down an ass.
