October 1o.-"King" Cole put the Virginia

From $3.50 to 6 the players were given

quito strenuous, but all the regulars
stuck TO It and prevented the subs"
from making much Roadway. In addi-

several heavyweights out to-day for the
first time. A determined effort Is being
mado to get little more weight In the
line. II this can be accomplished In the

that the South was benefited BY defeat

All this is n matter of surmse, and we
do not know that 1t was wise to intro

Municipal Ownership.

In noting the fact that the National
Civic Federation is going to investigate
the question OF municipal ownership,
the Richmond Evening Journal says:
HAll those who firmly believe as we d.
iii the principle OF municipal ownership
OF public utilities. will hall with pleasure
this undertaking to make n thorough
end systematic study of the subject ana
make public the facts This means light
on the subject, and light Is what is need
cd to give great impetus to the move
rent
BY all means let us have light. Hon
est Investigation is always to be en-
lcoura ged here is no great principle in
volved, and il municipal ownership Is
best. let is by oil means adopt IT. A
municipal corporation IS q business cor
poration, and there Is nothing undemo-
cratic in owning or even In operating
Public utilities. With us It is purely a
question of eXpediency. and, as time ana
again stated. we believe in municipal
cwershIp Of such utilities, but we do
think the time has not vet come In this
country for municipal operation. III
spite of abuses New York is one of the
best governed cities in the world, and
New Workers are perhaps better trained
than tho citizens OF other American
cities in the art of municipal govern
.mcnt. vet after mature delberation the
people of that city decided that the
municipality should construct and own
the subway, but lease 1t to private
corporation TO sc operated. In this way
the municipality has complete control
of tlI, situation. protects the people from
corporate greed regulates the rates
and the schedules, and has every adj
vantage which ownership gives, but IN
having the lines operated by private en-
tcrprisc and not by city employees, the
hest service will be demanded and the
evils of the political system will be IN
great degree eliminated. The lines will
be opcrated according to the methods os
business and not according 10 the meth
eds of politics.
Richmond has her gas works and her
w.rer works and should hold on to them,
although we have no doubt that II they
had been operated under lease TO n re-
sponsible corporation the scrvice would
have teen much better. But we have
heard no argument TO convince us that
tho city should a, this time branch out
and 20 into other lines OF work already
covered by private enterprise.
