fluence which could be exerted is
enormous. The opportunities for
grating on a magnificent scale are
apparent. The other municipal depart
ments put together would not offer
equal facilities to greedy and unscru-
pulous men"
The Louisville Courier-Journal
adds to this:
"Unquestionably there is a senti-
ment for municipal ownership aside
from that of the politicians. Many
people, impatient of existing evils in
the operation of public utilities
would rush into the greater evils OF
municipal ownership. But, recogniz-
ing this. IL is not to be denied that
the most enthusiastic advocates OF
municipal ownership are the polite
al spoilsmen who want municipal
ownership for what they know they
can get out of it."

Bradstreet,s weekly Letter.

New York, Feb. 17.-Spring trade
in dry goods. clothing. shoes and
millinery continues to show expan-
sion despite the presence of winter
conditions. Retail has been appre-
Gladly helped by the weather but
considerable stock will unquestiona-
bly, be carried over because the re-
order business has been heavy owing
to the weather earlier in the season.
The effect of this to carry over on
the next fall and winter demands, re-
mains to be seen. Other develop
ments have been generally favorable.
Concessions in pig iron prices, have
brought out some new business.
Building material was apparently
never so active as at this season,
lumber leading and the output In
northern forests has been helped by
the recent heavy SHOWS. Common
brick will be reduced in the west
March first, but is stit firm in the
east. Coal feels the influence of cold
weather and strike talk in firmer
prices and enlarged demand. Col
lections are fair to good except in
the south, record spring trade is APP
parently all secured and future crop
development will largely govern the
fall and winter trade which as yet
Is of small aggregate volume.

MayfieId Matters.

Mayfield, KY. Feb. 17.-Gabe r.
Allen, who hurried to FL Paso last
week in response to a message con-
corning the feeble condition of his
wife, arrived yesterday with Mrs. Al
len. Her condition is considered as
beyond hope, and IL is thought that
she cannot live many days longer.
She was sent to Ell Paso, Texas, a
few months ago with the hope that
her health would improve. but last
week the physician in charge noti-
fed Mr.. Allen that they could do her
no good, and 1t was considered best
to bring her home. A special car
was engaged.
| Mr.. j. A. Browning. one OF the
tity's oldest and best known citizens,
lies at his home in dying condition.
His death is expected at any moment,
and the physicians have given up all
hope OF his survival. Mr.. Browning
has been confined to his home for
the past five or six weeks with kid
ney trouble.
DR.. Dismukes, Jr., yesterday re-
mo7ed a toe from the foot OF Lon
Sanderson, which was crushed be-
tween two freight cars. Saturday
night. 1t may become necessary to

WHAT DO THE PEOPLE WANT?

WHAT DO THE PEOPLE WANT?
Some of the members of the legis-
lative boards admit that they do not
believe the city can operate its light
plant as cheaply as it can purchase
lights from the lighting company,
hut that they expect to vote to con-
t;nue to operate the city plant, be-
cause they are afraid of public
opinion" 1t would be difficult to
say just exactly upon what principle
of good government such a decision
can be based. but it has the COM
mendable feature of evoking an hon
est confession, which is said to be
good for the soul.
Public opinion may be in favor of
the city operating a light plant at a
cost of $1,000 more a year to the
tax payers, than the cost of better
lights would be from a private COM
rany, but we doubt it, In the first,
place, there is no way to properly
gauge public opinion. Even vote
on a question does not always show
the true sentiment. for everyone
does not vote. How much more diff
cult it must be. then, TO try to arrive
at public opinion by taking hap-haz-
ard statements heard on the streets.
II has been shown what the street
lights have cost Paducah in past
years, and it is known that the pri-
vate company offers to furnish them
at a figure several thousand dollars
less than the city has been paying.
It has not been shown the city can
reduce the cost of lights for past
years, and has been admitted that
with $4,000 more invested in the
plant. the interest annually would be
1000. and the depreciation $4,000
adding to the cost of 200 lights, SIS
more light than the sS4 light the
city has already been paying. Conse-
quently, there is no reason whatever
so far as we can See. consistent with
good, economical government, fol
compelling the taxpayers of Paducah
to pay an unnecessary and exorbitant
price for street lights, when they can
save money and get more and better
service by purchasing the lights from
a private company. Taxpayers are
not the only ones who will have to
bear the burden, for property owners
usually raise the rent in proportion
to their taxes. Rent payers are tax
payers, and we do not believe that
public opinion would support the i'm
position of this unnecessary expense
on the people, If people would take
the trouble to cast sentiment aside
and look at the proposition from a
business standpoint
When at the end of this yearA the
report from the city light plant
shows that lights have cost the city
several thousand dollars more than
the price at which they might have
been had, we trust our legislative
boards will have some plausible ex-
cuse to offer the taxpayers, but aside
from 1--WE wanted the city to operate
the plant, and it did" we do not
see what it VIII be.
We do not believe, however, that
the people want any such reasoning,
under the circumstances.

THE TRUTH ABOUT MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP.

A week ago the town of Hickman,
Ky. weary of running its light and
water plant at loss leased both
for, FIVE years, with privilege of re-
newing the lease for 10 years longer.
The Hickman Courier, in COM
menting on this action says:
Municipal ownership has rarely
been successful in the United States.
'1n Kentucky all chartered cities
are so limited by the state constitu-
tion and laws that the necessary
amount of capital cannot always be
obtained. The liability to change of
management is another reason why
the operation of such plants by cit
les is not usually satisfactory.
1.-The city of Paducah with as much
current as 1t used there is contem-
plating a change in the street light
ing to a private corporation. 1t is
claimed that 1t costs the city VI Pa
ducah about $40 more year per
arc light than the offer made by a
private company. Why Paducah can
not supply enough current as cheap
as a private corporation is a question
much easier to solve than Hickman
troubles with the light plant and
water works. II the coal and ice
company succeeds in operating the
plant and finds ii profitable the pat
rons Will doubtless find the arrange
ment satisfactory in the better SER
vice and the city will be pleased with
the improvement of the plant and the
opportunity of learning how before
the expiration of the lease"
The Chicago Tribune says of mu-
nicipal ownership in the larger cit
ies
''Mr. Dalrymple says that under
municipal ownership it would be al
most impossible in Chicago to keep
politics out of street railway man
agement. II is his opinion that in
this and every other large American
city a political machine would be
created that would be simply inn
pregnable' He thinks the machine
is already strong enough through its
control of policemen, firemen and
other city employees. There are
many prominent advocates Of munic-
opal ownership who are not dismay-
ed by these remarks. They know
MFR. Dalrymple is telling the truth,
but in this instance the truth does
not displease them. They are poll
ticians masquerading as municipal
ownerites, and their object in urg-
ing the acquisition and operation of
traction lines by the city is to make
the traction business and the street
car employees amenable to political
control. These politicians are work
ing for their machine, not for TIE
people. They say they wish to 81 +
the public better service. Whit
they are after is more patronage and
influence for themselves. No set of
politicians could ask for a richer

sion, S31 Eighteenth street, the
property of Mrs. Longworth, mother
of the groom. Between congress
sional sessions and after Mr.. Long
worth quits public life, they will live
at Redwood" the ancestral home
of the Longworth family, in Cincin-
natl. Mrs Longworth. the elder,
will make her home with her son and
new daughter, both at the capital
and in Ohio.
The Courtship.
This. in brief. is the happy culmi-
nation of a romance that has kept
society astir vt the nations capital
for the last Two years. The love
story began really a year or so
earlier, soon after Mr.. Longworth
was elected to congress, and shortly
succeeding Miss Roosevelt's coming
out" But ii was not until the
young representative had become a
frequent visitor at the White House
and was often seen in Miss Alice
company that their friends began to
read a courtship in their association.
1t is said that he finally gained
her consent to his suit while they
were visiting the Imperial Palace at
Pekin. AS they entered the portal
of the emperor's home he asked for
the thirteenth time, "Will you be my
wife," and she replied, "I'll give you
an answer before we leave this build
ing" What she said after that is
not recorded, but during the re-
manner of the tour. it was noticed
that Mr.. Longworth's smile was even
more genial, more confident, and
more frequent than before, and he
was, il anything. more devoted in his
gallantries.
The engagement was formally an
nounced by President and Mrs.
Roosevelt on December 18th.
The Brides Wedding Garment.
Her gowns are all OF American
fashioning, most OF them having
been made by celebrated New York
modiste. The wedding garment is
of rich white brocaded satin. woven
from an exclusive pattern in 3 Pater-
son IN. j. mill. 1t is cutNprincess
style, as are nearly all the dresses
worn by the presidents daughter,
with a neck and yoke of point lace,
elbow sleeve, and court train. Sew
eral of her reception and ball gowns
are of materials given her by the
dowager empress of China and other
distinguished personages whom she
met on her tour of the orient. There
are beautiful Chinese, Japanese and
Indian silks, and the delicate pima Of
the Philippines. Miss Roosevelt is
said to have had no less than dozen
gowns made. There were several
cloth dresses, in addition TO those
made of oriental stuffs. a yellow
satin evening gown, pink satin din
ner gown. a yellow chiffon tea gown
made over satin, and cloak for the
opera. One of the special designs
woven at the Paterson looms repro
duces the Roosevelt crest in'the silk
and makes a novel and attractive
effect.
