Wonderland Is, Popular.

Altho it might seem that the visit in
one week of two big ;eircuses and the

the promenades were crowded last night.
The park with it's splendid electrical

spectacle. The program of free attrac-
lions was shy one of its: leading features,
owing to the failure Of Howards dog and

the envelope bore the Mount Clemens

The conscience fund of the general
government began good many years
ago, the first contribution to it hay
ing been received in 1911. After that
nobody felt the prick, Of awakening
honesty until 1927, but subsequently
contributions came almost every wear,
while in later times scarce month

the long list of nameless attempts to
purchase peace of mind
Had S14,225.15 Conscience.
The largest contribution was received
from some suffering wretch in Eng
land who sent $14225.15 thru an Eng
lish clergyman. This, being the largest
item, is the one most people in the
treasury department remember best and
the one they. all sneak of in referring
to the conscience fund, but it may be
that 1T bought no larger share of that
peace which passeth all understanding
than did an enclosure of ] cent. re-

Often they are addressed to the Sec

frequently to the treasurer of the
United States. But in every case they
invariably pass thru the hands of the

the division of public moneys, who
keeps the account and lcau retail a
varied assortment of stories about it.
Mr.. Daskam saws the offences with
which the conscienee- stricken charge
themselves cover the whole gamut of
possibilities, but that the large ma
, lority are for violations of the customs
laws. One man. however. is credited
with having about as keen an edge, on
his conscience as any of them when he

Sheridan. f...
A common admission is that of hav.

~ New York has plan to widen Fifth
avenue for vehicular traffic by cutting off
some feet Of the sidewalk on both sides
of the street. Preliminary to this, how
ever, the city has been obliged to sue the
Knickerbocker Trust company for en-
eminent upon municipal ground. The
city won victory over the trust COM
pany in the supreme court. It will affect
every big hotel and restaurant on Fifth
avenue from Twenty sixth to Fifty ninth
street. The practice Of occupying about
ten feet Of the avenue with steps, area
ways and court yards has been going
on since 1882 and it Is evident that the
city will not recover the ground it has in
nocently given up without further liti-
cation.
A. L. Wilson and J. A. Fleming have
applied to the Kansas city councils for a
franchise to furnish natural gas at rs
cents to private consumers and 10 cents
to manufacturers, street lights $12 year.
The gas. is bought at the wells at less
than cents and a pipe line into the
city is the only investment necessary to
the enterprise. r
The New York Press indicts and con-
victs the Subway Operating company,
belmont esyndicate), Of incompetency In
constructing a subway into which air
cannot be forced and in putting into the
subway rin1ammable cars. With municipal
ownership, it admits, there could not be
worse service.
The New York Post admits that Mr..
Bryan aptly but innocently pictured the
municipal ownership man when he wrote
from India: ''The fakirs are not only a
danger to the community and in some
cases a source of decentralization at all
times, but they are a heavy drain upon
the, wealth Of the country. Adding moth
ing to the material, intellectual or moral
development sof the country, they live
upon the fears ana credulity Of the
people,"
Tampa, Fla, elected a municipal own
ership mayor and board of aldermen al

Milwaukee's young mayor runs to fires
In his automobile, tho 1t is not stated
what he does when he gets there.
The Chicago Journal has dug up eYd.
dence that Hearst's nomination petitions

York were obtained by fraud. The inter.
esting point with the Journal is whether

!. ownership in Chicago was gotten up II

lessor Of political science in, the Wor

ten book called The Election OF Sem
ators, In which he discussed the real
problem IN senatorial elections. He says
Of this problem and the discussion he
gives: t4
This book Will fall far short OF fits purpose
II 1t fails to carry the writer's firm conviction
that electoral forms and methods are of slight
Import except as they affect, the spirit of
choice, and that neither the continuance OF the
present system nor the resort to- popular eleci
tion car long secure the senate that, which the
best interests Of the country demand, unless
back OF the method there be found the vigilance,
the Intelligence and the Conscience Of the in

The book is certainly timely and it's
lucid discussion cannot fail to- have an
effect on the discussion now rife.

England's British Rule.

Mr.. Bryan's London address on the
"White Man Burden" printed sim
ultaneously with his letter on the Brit
ish administration Of India, implies that
Mr.. Bryan recognizes the responsibility
Of the Caucasian to bring forward the
1aggard nations, but denies his right to
exploit them for his own benefit.
r !, The British empire. in India ! was
founded by trading company, and it
remained the property of a trading.
company until abuses Of power made it
imperative for the government to take
over the administration, since it could
not. escape responsibility for that adj
ministration. It has remained - with;
few material notifications, what it was
in the beginning, a white mans gov
eminent imposed upon supposedly in.
ferior race. No progress has been made,
toward self-government in India ex-
cept in local matters.
The country is heavily taxed and
largely. to protect the Indian frontier
from the expected assault Of Russia.
But the Russian assault upon the from
tier of India would be more felt in
London than it would be in India. IF
successful, it would sound the kneu Of
English supremacy in the orient. . It
would reduce st. James to secondary
place in the council. of nations. It
would, in word, condemn Great Brit
