Municipal Ownership

New York owns the subway and
leases its use. That is as far as any
American city can go in municipaI
ownership. 1t might acquire the
tracks and own them as a part of the
pavement. 1t is not likely that
any city council would succeed in
operating street car system. There
is no city council that would be ac-
cepted by any set of investors as
beard or directors to manage their
property. This city has had an ex-
perience with the municipal operation

What the Editors Say

ly that hereafter the people. If they

his public pledge to work and vote for
such needed measures before the votes
are cast to elect such legislative and
congressional members. Men that are
not for the people and free and frank

pledges to this effect, are more than
likely the tools of special interests,

such interests. and pledged secretly TO

VIOLATED NEUTRALITY

VIOLATED NEUTRALITY
The suggestion officially promulgat-
ed that the Japanese fleet may ad-
vance against it's Russian rival and at
tack the latter if found in a neutral
port probably is intended more for eff
feet than as rule of practical action.
Nevertheless. if Japan could do ex-
actly this thing she would meet with
the approval of the entire civilized
world. The course of France from first
to last has been an utter outrage upon
international comfy, and has torn up
and thrown to the winds every pre-
tense of neutrality.
Russia's fleet would have had to turn
back weeks ago, or else would be ly-
ing with smokeless tunnels in some
neutral port, had the honorable obli-
cations of the nations been observed.
1t has been enabled to proceed on it's
long voyage solely because France has
offered for its use convenient ports of
call by the way, in which the vessels
might lie up for provisions and coal
This was sufficiently gross offense
when it occurred in distant waters.
Now that the two fleets are within
reach of each other and every advan-
tage counts, the opportunity to make
ready for battle on the most favorable
terms that France has given is almost
equivalent to a declaration of war
against Japan.
Between any two European nations
such conduct would be so regarded. 1t
would amount to open hostility. 1t is
no more heinous to furnish one of the
combatants with a battleship than to
furnish it with a harbor in which a
useless battleship can be made useful
by having its coal bunl1ers replenished
and its larders refilled. Every rule of
international relation makes this tam
tamount to an act of war. If France
and Germany were fighting and Great
Britain gave such privilege to a vessel
of either power in any of its ports, that
country would become a party to the
war and be so treated unless it made
immediate apology and reparation. Be-
cause Japan has only recently enter
ed formally the congress Of nations
because she is on the other side of the
world, and because there is a mutual
understanding between France and
Russia, this outrageous course has
been pursued.
If Japan should carry out her threat
1T might be next to impossible to pre-
vent the war from spreading from east
to west. That France would resent an
engagement in one of her harbors with
Japan as the attacking party is GER
tain. She would probably have to ac-
cept the rebuff or fight If she actual
ly joined Russia against Japan. it
would hardly be possible to avoid a
general conflict Great Britain is bound
by her agreement with Japan to come
to the rescue of the latter as against a
combination of any two or more Eu-
ropean powers. This contingency
would then have arisen, and her work
must be made good. Japan has been
exceedingly long suffering in this mat
ter, but at last has called the turn.
There will be big fighting somewhere
in eastern waters before many DAYS.
and the reputation of France for fair
and honorable treatment of others as
a member of the family of nations has
been seriously impaired.
