Municipal Ownership.

Municipal ownership, since the
chicago election. seems to have taken
fast hold on the people throughout the
country. They are beginning to
realize that they might as we'll be
deriving the benefit of the millions
profit in the public franchises as well
as the few millionaires who devote
much Of their time spending the
money thus earned, sailing around the
world in handsome yachts.
We do not believe in the socialistic
policy of everyone on an equality and
an equal distribution of wealth. Such
a thing is impossible. If all the money
in the country was equally divided
between every man and woman, it
w0nld not remain thus for two hours.
Some would quickly spend their share
on d good time, others would save.
The shrewd ones would play upon
the weak and would soon have all the
other fellows cash and SO it would
go.
What we do believe in is the people
enjoying the fruits of all public util-
tiles. The street railways, electric
lights, water supply, gas, pol CO pro-
lection, fire protection, telephones,
postal service, parcel post and the,
other things which naturally belong
to the people as a whole and which
are used by all in common, should be-
long to the government to be operated
for the greatest good to the greatest
number. That is the real American
principal.
Today Perth Amboy's water bill is
much less than-'would be charged by
3 private water company, yet the
water department is not only paying
its expenses, but it is run at a
profit. This surplus, which, with pri-
vate ownership goes into the million
aire,s pocket, here goes into the city
treasury to help keep down the taxes,
In Chicago it Is going To cost the
city something like $500, O00, 900 to buy
back all the franchises which, in years
past, have been GIVEN AWAY to
different corporations. Think OF 1t.
A;city forced to buy back the rights
of its own streets and highways, yet
there is not a city in the country but
what would have TO do the same
thing. Every public franchise given
in perpetuity today is just adding that
much more burden on posterity, for
the time is surely coming when the
people will run their own public util-
ities, cost what it will to get control
them again. Municipal and govern
Apt ownership is the great question

decide TO unite on this issue, it

If the slightest catarrhal condition of

neither digestion nor sleep will be

Those who lead very active lives,
like athletes, with good muscular de-

especially trying.
Athletes everywhere praise Peruna
because they, Of all men, appreciate
the value of tonic that dispels phys

The vocation of some men may allow
them 10 endure the depressing feelings
incident to spring weather, bur the
athlete mHsf never allow himself TO get

In order to do this he must avail him

can rely.
Therefore athletes are especially

Peruna never fails them.

to lnaugurate Great Industry.
The pressed steel industry, which is
sne of the largest In the country to-
lay, was born in little cooper shop
lot far from st. John and Buttonwood
streets. in Philadelphia.
Charles j. Schoen, who is literally
the father OF this business, was en-
gagged in Philadelphia following the
occupation of a cooper and presided
over a little plant at which he consti-
tuted the entire force of workmen.
While doing this he conceived the
Idea Of making a doorstep for railroad
cars, which at once forced itself into
popularity with carbuilders and was
generally adopted. 1t was an instant
success, for the reason that 1t was
extremely simple and at the same time
effective. holding the door open by a
spring in the floor of the car.
The demand for these devices soon
overtaxed the capacity of the little
cooper shop and in casting about for
some quicker means of making the
.hings the idea of pressing them out
II steel was hit upon. From this hum
BILE beginning pressed steel was soon
found available for other purposes in
carbuilding. and today. the entire
freight car, including the wheels, is
made in this manner, no wood enter

When Mrs. Stowe Awoke.

A friend of mine, a Northern woman
long resident in Florida, once gave me
the following account of a visit from
Mrs. Stowe: Il had invited her to
spend the day, with several other la
dies, at my villa. She came with an
old white fur tippet wrapped about her
neck. She sat all day near the open
fire, occupied apparently with her own
thoughts, for she spoke to no one.
When the day was well nigh spent,
one of the guests related the remark

passed through some danger, l forget

startled us all by inquiring, with some
show of interest. Did the woman

Trying Chinese Brides Temper.

On the day of Chinese marriage
unlimited friends and neighbors, or
even perfect strangers, are allowed to
come in and see the bride and they
may make any remark about her. or
to her, they please, says the BoudoiI.
Sometimes things horribly rude an I
disgusting are said:
To try her temper a man win say:
Fetch your husband cup of teal"
If she does so, all will say jeeringly:
What an obedient wife you are!"
If she sulks and does not do as she
is tod they remark: THAT is a pretty
vixen with which to begin married
life. We cannot congratulate you on
that tartar" and other words to SINH
lar effect.
Then the poor thing is made to
stand on an inverted cup to show how
small are her feet.

Those you have known.

Their deeds again?
There was a saint in far off time
Who meekly bore unhallowed days;

Is mine the praise2
