Government Ownership.

The Sun was at one time an advo-
cate of government ownership of the
railroads-but that was years ago,
when we didn't know much. Subse
quent events have changed our view
point. From our present standpoint
we very much doubt the practicability
of municipal ownership. Except in
rare cases have cities succeeded in
successfully handling their public
utilities. But government ownership
would have a deadening, numbing eff
feet On mans ambition, and that
would be disastrous for civilization.
Civilization requires that men shall
aspire to great things; that they shall
emulate each others example in great
enterprises, such as the building Of
railroads, canals, factories, etc. Sup
pose we were to take away from the
prospector the lead of ore which he
has found after so much hardship and
toll, and say to him: at is not right

Miss Ruth Widrig, who is teaching
school on Cedar creek, was in town
Saturday and made a demand on this

school began. The account was
passed up for further consideration

THE OPINION OF A CRIMINAL

Edward Wiler Dunlap, at one time
Princeton graduate, and subsequently
one of tn most notorious criminals
that have ever fourished in America
has written book. The literary labor
was carried out in the penitentiar7
and it has now been published after
the authors death. As human docu-
ment it will certainly take high rank.
A great many disquisltions upon Grim
inality have been given to the world
at one time and another, but they near
ly all of them have the disadvantage
of being studies from the outside. He;e
at last we have criminality as viewed
by the educated and intelligent Grim
inal and if his opinions are unorthodcx
it is only what we might expect.
Dunlap's specially was burglary, al
though his patronage was also extend
ed to many other branches OF crime.
He is therefore competent to deal
with his subject, and while he does
not enter upon any futile defense CT
crime in general he stOutly maintains
that it's recognized branches, in which
he himself was so great an adept, are
far less immoral and far less hurtfll
to the community than what he cans
penalties have yet been attached. He
says that moral crime is usually en-
terprise and genius, while the Grim IS
that are punished by the penitentiary
are simply convenient selection from
the far larger body of misdeeds that
now plague the public, and that the,r
selection is made entirely without rel
erence to moral obliquity. Where he
asks. is the difference between the
wealthy corporations that is willing to
sell its goods at a loss in order to run
a small competitor and the highway
man whose cOercive measures take the
more concrete but not more effective
form of revolver? Mr.. Dunlap tells
us that there is indeed difference
and that it lies in the fact that thu
corporations method may ruin thous
ands and requires no personal courage
while the highwayman despoils one
person only, and at great personal risk
to himself.
Mr.. Dunlap shows great knowledge
of finance and he uses it for the dis
section of some of the money prince,
of the day. His ultimate conclusio:
is that there is a bond of union he
tween such as himself and many of tn
great financiers and that they form
one common family of thieves. A
the same time he pays the homag
that their greatness demands from
those who initiate them at a distance
and who do upon the smallest seal:
what their models do upon the largest

The work Of reclaiming i.SOo acres on
California mesa has commenced. The
first contracts do not cover that number
of acres. but there is little probability
that once commenced it will cease until
every foot of land needing drainage is
reclaimed. George w. Bruce. repre-

and p. r. Cook, Millard Fairlamb, S.
W. Weeks and others are the parties
responsible for the beginning that is
now being made.
J. G.. Smith has the contract and
with several men is already at work on
the A. II. Brown place. The main
drainage ditch will be three miles long
1t will be six feet deep. four feet wide
at the bottom and ten feet in width at
the top. Into this main drain tile lines
will run from adjoining farms.
This work is of vast Importance as it
will bring to successful cultivation a
large area Of rich country near Delta
which can be Immediately occupied by
progressive farmers. We hope those
who are promoting the work will be
richly rewarded for their benificent en-
enterprise.

nay more for hauling and will try to
