Staff Correspondence to The Press.
WASHINGTON. June 22.-Two
things suggested a trip to certain
cities where there might be learned
municipal ownership lessons Of the
greatest interest and value.
One was the growing sentiment in
favor of cities owning or controlling
public utilities. This has been mani
Tested by the constantly increasing
number Of plants established by cities
and villages, and, more forcefully,
by the demonstrations in Chicago and
Philadelphia.
Chicago, which gave 100000 plu-
rality for a republican president
elected by $4,000 a democratic mayor
pledged to bring about city owner
ship .of street railways. The fact
that the enterprise involved some
treat sum between $50,000,00O and
500. 900 did not daunt the voters
When poor, old, chloroformed, cor
rupt and contented Philadelphia woke
UP and carried through resolution
to prevent the disposal of the city
owned gas plant, it was plain enough
that municipal ownership was real
big issue.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-06-22

hint from a government official
who has much to do with statistics
along this line was of even create
influence in making the trip seem
worth while. This man stated that
tables pretending to compare plants
in different cities could be of COM
paratiyely small value because of diff
fering conditions.
Men whose advice on such matters
is worth following said that observa-
ton of lighting plants, gas and cleo
trio, would give the best results
There is practically nobody left to
make the argument that water works
should be owned by private COM
panies, although a few years ago it
was matter of contention. Public
baths, markets, cemeteries, ferries
and such do not constitute an issue
in many cities.
Municipal ownership of street rail-
ways has not arrived. 1t is in light
ing that the most interesting devel-
opments are to be found. The men
whose advice was sought said that.
among the larger cities having mu-
nicipal ownership, the best managed
gas plants would be found in Du-
luth, Mimi, and Richmond. Va. and

THE GIRL GONE WRONG IN new YORK
BY Eva Dean.

brother Pat when he returned from
visit to the old homestead Every
one went down to see them off AMI

1t was a glorious morning when
they landed at Ellis island. The ten
der ivy leaves were a soft green haze
before the old walls and churches
of Manhattan.
bright to the two young Irish hearts
But Pat was ordered Immediately to
the Canadian woods in charge of a
railroad gang.
'Never you mind, Maggie" he said.
I'll get you good place, and I'll be
back by the time you've missed me-"
A kind lady took Maggie and
agreed to keep her as long as she was
good girl and did her work we'll
Sure then I'll be easy about her."
said Pat. For she's the best girl
ever crossed the ocean, and she don't
know any other way than to do her
work we'll"
But one day in cleaning room
Maggie found large fiat bottle full
of beautiful golden liquid with a
lovely smell. She had to put her
nose again and again to the bottle,
and at last she had to taste.
The rest was inevitable. Maggie
was young and Maggie was alone.
Maggie drank until she was drunk.
Instantly she was bundled into the
street with her small wardrobe in one
hand and her 50 of wages in the
other.
~ Just wonder whore she'll go to-.
She hasn't any friends. she doesn't
know anybody" said the kind lady.
Then she forgot her.
Three months later Pat came back
for his little Maggie"
i; who do you want?" said a voice
at the telephone,
II want to speak to Maggie. the
maid. I'm her brother. just come
back from Canada
I'm the maid sir. but my name
isn't Maggie. I've been living in this
house three months. sir, and not to
my knowledge has there been any
person in 1t with such AN appella-
ton"
But the thread of the tale Is lost.
Maggie was gone. No one knew TO
what fate. She had disappeared in
the hopeless tangle OF human lives,
which like snarled web stretches
under the feet of the girl who goes
a stranger to New York and tries to
walk alone.

BY CYNTHIA GREY.

Women protected by family name sheltered by
family honor and surrounded by the devotion of
friends and the companions of home, read accounts
OF girls in great cities who go wrong. After they
read they hold up their hands in horror and ask,
"Why couldn't they have had a little more back
bone?"
BACKBONE is QUEER THING.
1t consists of not being tempted of being pro-
tected when tempted of having reputation and of
having family that would and could afford to
avenge insult injury to the fullest extent of the
law, loved one harmed.
SO it is that of these little strangers in New
York haven't any backbone.
Some OF them leave their backbones with mother
in the country and go to live alone in the big city,
trying to make an honest clean living No one knows
about this backbone The girl goes wrong and then
some woman a thousand miles away, reads about
this unfortunate sister and blames her for not hav-
ing backbone
Some seem to think that girls 90 to New
York purposely to grow wicked Others that the
girl was always wicked and New York found her out.

Maybe no one is against the strange girl in big

SUCCESS Or FAILURE !:
PEOPLE ARE LOYAL

An overwhelming majority of the
people seemed to feel that they had
derived important benefits from Their
lighting plants. They were appreci-
at1ve of the good that had come to
them and confident of greater results
in the future.
That the people think well of the
notion of running lighting plants is
clearly shown by statistics. The
latest census report on electric
lighting shows that while in the sos
cities owned only about one seventh
Of the new plants installed, in the
last few years more than one third
of the new stations have been dedi-
Gated to municipal ownership. There
were in 1902, the date of the last
government report, 2S05 private and
S15 municipal electric lighting sta
tions. There were 9S1 private and
20 municipal gas works.
Returns gathered unofficiaily in
1903 from 1894 municipalities in the
country of over 5000 population show
that TAT own parks, 1877 Fairgrounds,
six gymnasiums, 1873 markets, BAT
cemeteries, Sc wharves. OF these
towns Gel have water works owned
by private companies, while 766 are
under municipal ownership.
Eight cities of more than 10000
population have no sewage systems.
In AZ municipalities franchises have
been given to private companies for
the control of sewage. All the pri-
vate sewage companies are in towns
of less than 10000, and all but two
in towns of less than $4,000 popula-
ton.

the most efficient electric plants In
Detroit. Chicago and Allegheny. Ham.
ilton, O., and Wheeling, w. Va, it
was said, would probably show more
of the evils of municipal ownership
than any other large city.
In all these cities there were found
critics of the mana cement of the
plants. No more, however, than the
number of those who were disposed
to kick" on the management of other
city departments. They were not as
numerous as the "kickers'' on the
service or charges of private COM
panies.
In several cases where the equip
ment Of the plants has been run down
until 1t is almost ripe for the junk
man red-hot language was used in
denouncing the officials responsible
for the neglect.
Then the question was asked
whether the people would not prefer
that the business be turned over to a
private company. Almost invariably
the answer was that the people would
not sell.
Not more than FIVE men of prob
ably 100 who were interviewed ex-
pressed the opinion that the people
would be willing to surrender their
property into private hands.
Usually the answer was to the eff
feet that the voters would storm the
city hall if an attempt were made
by the officials to give up the light
ing plants. Where complaints were
made they were lodged against the
mana cement, not against municipal
ownership.
