self. II Is alleged. but Supt. Thomp-

A number of the men who are al
legged to have known that Morrison
had the extra register we're dscharg-
ed this morning, and II Is not known
whether any of them will be prose-
cuted or not.
This is the first time such a case
ever came up in the local courts, and
Il will be watched with unusual in

They prefer 10 let private capital
take the risks. build up a good plant
and make II a paying investment
and then comes agitation for munic-
ipal ownership-when II is too late
TO do anything without imposing un-
necessary burdens on the people
without any adequate return. Mr..
Dalrymple seems to be a man OF
keen insight as we'll as courage.
While the principle of municipal
ownership Is one he advocates, he
realizes that conditions make all the
difference in the world-the differ
ence between success and failure.
The insurmountable barrier is poll
something a republic can new
er eliminate. In many cities, II pub
lie utilities could become the prop
erty of the people without cost. they
might be operated at good profit at
any time. despite the fact that the
various positions would be distrib-
uted among whichever party or
clique happened to be in control.
But when a property of this kind be-
comes worth having, II is usually
valuable and beyond the reach OF a
city. 1t is the legitimate property OF
those who have paid for 1t in work,
brains and money, and 1t cannot be
confiscated.
II municipal ownership at such a
time be deemed essential or advisa-
Bile, the cost must be considered and
II then becomes a simple case of
mathematical computation. VIII the
cost, and the amount of interest on
the bonds-for bonds are always is
sued for such purchases-equal or
exceed the net earnings? If the in
terest is greater than the net earn
ings. the people are really paying
more for what they are getting with
little prospect of reduction in rates
for a long term of years. and in ad-
dition will in all probability have to
contend with deteriorated sarviceas
a result of the danger pointed out by
Mr.. Dalrymple-politics.

EXTRA REGISTER

Supt. A. s. Thompson. of the City

Edgar Morrison. young man who

Morrison got hold of an extra fare

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.

James Dalrymple. the Scotch ex-
pert on municipal ownership. who
came to this country to tell Chicago
how to operate her traction lines,
has instead told Chicago that it
can't successfully be done. He has
gone further and asserted that in his
opinion municipal ownership can
never be a success in a republic. He
says further that 1t is zone of the
great dangers with which the people
of this country must contend"
ITO put street railroads, gas
works, telephone companies, etc,
under municipal ownership" he said
would be to create political ma
chine in every large city that would
be simply impregnable. These politi-
cal machines are already strong
enough, with their control of the
policemen, firemen and other Office
holders.
IF in addition to this they could
control the thousands of men en-
ployed In the great public utility
corporations, the political machines
would have power that could not
be overthrow. | came to this coun-
try a believer in public ownership.
What | have seen here-and | have
studied the situation carefully
makes me realize that private owner
ship. under proper conditions, is far
best for the citizens of American cit
les"
This is plain, sensible talk. Mu-
nicipal ownership in theory is good.
In practice under our form OF gov
eminent 1t is usually bad.
Speaking of what he believed to
be the best solution of the public
franchise question In this country,
the Scotchman, who is president OF
the corporation tramways of Glas-
gov, said:
'In America. should advise all
cities to sell their franchises upon
the best possible terms aud protect
the city by drawing up short leases
With a short lease the city win al
ways be in a position TO exercise
corrective influence upon the corpo-
rations. II the public rights are abb
solutely disregarded.
Even this is somewhat misleading
The time to begin municipal owner
ship is when a city Is small. II can
then create its own utilities, operate
them, and II politics do not prove
their undoing by placing them In the
hands OF incompetent men. which
politics in all probability would do,
in time the city will own valuable
properties, and can lease them out
and make more money than II Il
operated them itself, and al the
same time protect the public Ia the
matter OF rates and service.
One great trouble Is that small cit
les are unwilling to take the risk

$50 PAID
For Analysing Stomach OF Mrs. III.
r. Hessig.

Prof. II. ID. Sullivan. master of
science at the Paducah High school,
this morning received his pay for
analyzing the stomach OF Mrs. Ida
Hessig. He received $50 which is less
than paid experts who analyzed the
Brockwell stomachs in Louisville.
Since the labratory was installed
in the High school and an expert
scientist placed in charge. IL is not
necessary that any work in the ana
lytical line be sent away. and the re-
suit can be determined quicker here.
1t is presumed that the county
will hereafter have all such work
done here which will be great deal
cheaper and will at the same time ep-
courage work of this kind in the
schools.

You frequently see in the newspa-
pers articles demanding that Office
holders keep out of politics. There
are many reasons why they should
keep out of politics, but little proba-
bility that they will. A man usually
has to be in politics before he can he
elected to office, and few of them are
willing to retire without trying to be
elected again If they don't want the
same office, they want some other,
and they must keep in touch with
the powers that put them there to
get there again. The office holder, of
all the people you might name, will
be least liable to keep out Of poll

ADAMS ANSWERS CHARGE
Declares That Mine O5Cners Con-
Spired to Elect Peabodu.

Denver. Jan. 21-The answer of Governor
Alva Adams to the allegations of Ex-Governor
James H. Peabody contestant for the office of
Governor, filed to-day. The answer makes
a general denial of the allegations of the con-
testor, and specifically charges fraud in several
counties against the contestee. 1t alleges that
divers corporations and mine owners associa-
tions conspired with the Republican State Cen
trail Committee and spent large sums in securing
fraudulent registration lists, in padding reg
istraton lists. in cOrrupting election officials and
in buying votes for the purpose Of electing Pea
body Governor.
The answer alleges that the ballot boxes of
Denver do not contain the ballots which
were actually cast by qualified voters; that the
ballot boxes have been tampered with and
stuffed since the election by persons in the en-
ploy and under the direction Of the Republican
committee of the city and county OF Denver and
that said spurious ballots have been substituted
in the interest OF the Republican candidates and
the interest of the contestOr. pursuant TO an un-
lawful conspiracy entered into by the Repub-
lican committee its tools and employees. for the
purpose of making 1t appear that the ballots
were substituted in the interest of the
testee, whereas in fact whatever substitution of
ballots has occurred in the city and county OF
Denver, If any has occurred. has been COM
mitted in the interest of the contestor.
In pursuance OF the alleged conspiracy. the
other persons threatened their employees with
discharge If they failed to vote for Peabody.
1t is alleged that in Las Animas County at
least two thousand men imported from Italy,
Austria and other countries and States 10 take
the places of employees who had left on account
of labor troubles were frauduently naturaIized
registered and voted.
The contestee further charges that large
bodies of armed men were about certain voting
places In Las Anlmas County for the purpose OF
intimidating voters.
1t is further alleged that In the Cripple Creek
district, Teller County, on Election Day one
thousand armed deputies, under the direction OF
Sheriff Edward Bell. paraded the streets for the
purpose of intimidatipg voters that they eject
ed Democratic judges from several precincts
and intimidated others, and that two election
constables were shot down and killed without
provocation. Prior to the election, 1t Is charged
at least two thousand Democratic voters had
been driven from their homes In this county and
we're not permitted to vote, and there were
placed on the registration books and allowed TO

DEAD RATS DoUBLY USEFUL.
Widespread Hunt in Japan Kept Out the
Plaque and Furnished Fur for Earmuffs.

Toxic Dec, when the time came to forward
the winter outfits for the armies in Manchuria, and
the commissariat produced hundreds of thousands
of fur ear-protectors japanese and foreigners alike
wondered where the things could have come from.
No one had ever heard of their being made.
Two years ago the plague was raging along the
China coast. The Japanese Quarantine Bureau de-
cided that efforts must be made to keep the dis
out Of the country. They determined to start
a crusade. In all the seaports and larger cities
bounty offered for each rat brought in. The
small boys found this great source of revenue
and the competition at once became keen. For
each rodent the huntsman received small sum
and lottery ticket. The money he might squander.
but the ticket he saved. and at the end of the
month there a drawing, with prizes varying
from s. to $50. Rat catching became a popular
amusement, and the boards of health all over the
country were kept busy examining the daily bag.
Each animal duly registered, and the place
IN which IL caught noted. 1t was then exam
ined and If any suspicious germs discovered
the building from which the rat came was imme-
diately raided all the animals were hunted down,
and the place disinfected
In this manner, the plague was kept out of Japan
The small boys amused themselves and made
money, but no one ever stopped to think of what
had become of the skins Of those millions of rats
that had been worrying the boards of health. They
had not been thrown away. The military authorf-
ties had used them to make ear-protectors.
