MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

All the street transit lines in New York have
been consolidated by the Bemont-Ryan syndi-
cate The city has already reached its charter
and there Is danger that the new subways will
be built by private interests which will operate
them under franchise. Municipal ownership has
thus received a serious setback in the metropolis
but this was to be expected 1t is likely that New
York will be the last stronghold OF private own
ership of public utilities
But meantime the city has on hand a
combination in control of its present transit
facilities which has capitalized them far in
excess of their actual cost, and intends to do
what it can to make the public pay returns on
the fictitious capital. The situation in this
respect bad enough before. Thus the
Metropolitan Street Railway company had a
capital stock of $50, 100000, largely water"

conduct of military affairs as monarchy
headed by wise and powerful chief" That
depends, perhaps, upon what Is meant by
military affairs" What may be true OF q
military machine for autocratic aggression,
is not necessarily true of a military body for
democratic defense. AT any rate the history
of France during the revolution, and the
story of the Beers during the British con-
quest, would need explanation. But IL the
general proposition were self-eyident, would
not the wisdom of the monarch have to be
proved in every instance? Or is 1t selfevi-
dent also that monarchs are wise and democ-
racies are not? These American persons
who have an insane itch for absolutism should
be more explicit when they simulate rational
methods of thought.

RISE OF JOHN BURNS

1t was notable appointment that Premier
Campbell-Bannerman made when he selected
John Burns, the famous English labor leader
rs a member of his cabinet. The Chicago Tri
Dune says:
He has close knit body, peculiarly
incsive mind and Is known as Honest
John Burns" His chief personal foible Is
his extreme egotism, but that is readily
overlooked. He has the courage to espouse
unpopular causes and TO correct his own fol-
lowers. He summons worlingmen to let
drink alone and stop betting. He goes upon
the public works carried out by the London
county council by direct labor, and enjoins
the men to do an honest days work In fidelity
to the beneicent principle OF direct employ
ment. He champions the municipalizaton
of public utilities, but stands ready to deal
drastically with any sinister political activity
by public employees. He defied as a pro-
Boer the recent tide of war feeling when
it at it's height, and was nevertheless
overwhelmingly supported at the polls He is
labor man OF extraordinary parts.
The more radical element in the British
labor ranks regard Mr.. Burns as a traitor to
their cause. They recall the days when
he used, every Sunday night from a dry
goods box at Battersea Park gate to thun-
der the principles of socialism. They re-
call how, at the famous trade union CON
gress at Norwich in 1894, he seconded the
J. Kier Harde resolution for "the national
ization of the land and all the means of
production and exchange" They resen. his
abandoning the advocacy OF these ideas and
working instead with the liberals for mod
crate reforms In doing so. however. MIR.
Burns has only Illustrated the tendency OF
all radicals TO become tempered by the prob.
lens of actual administration. In dealing
with these problems he has. particularly as

Mccall didn't know it he is not fit for his

Instead of trying to reform the methods
of Mccall, the trustees should be scourging

Every now and then there are indca-
lions that the life insurance magnates are on
the rum Latest of all in this list is the deed
ing to his wife by Richard A. McCurdy, for
mer president of the Mutual Life, of all his
property in and around Morristown, N. j.,
amounting in value to more than a million
dollars Across the deeds which effected this
transfer was marked in bold words 'Not for
the newspapers" OF course not More than
all the legislatures of all the states and the
congress of the United States, more than
the executive officers of the whole nation,
more than the laws array of prosecutors and
Judges, offenders in high stations fear that
publicity the newspapers supply to their
readers. Why, even Hartman, who has car
ried legislatures in his waistcoat pocket for
a score of years, begged the newspapers to
be lenient in their reports of his scramble
for the Equitable spoils. Mr.. McCurdy it is
conceivable, is getting ready for the deluge
There are signs that he will be called to give
an account of his stewardship-to tell what
he has done with the policyhoders money
intrusted to his care. Certainly, when that
hour strikes, he will not want to be hampered
with too much property. Therefore the trans

There is good reason to believe that
District Attorney Jerome with the best OF in
tentions and the keenest desire to punish
these huge malefactors of the insurance
world has stood perplexed and discouraged
in the face of their thefts OF millions in the
way of exorbitaIt salaries voted to them
selves, family pension lists, perjured reports
and juggling with stocks and securities, and
profits off policyholders' money. Their sub
sidizing of governors, senators, legislatures
not to mention national committees, with mon
ely of which they were the trustees, has not
offered the key that would swing the prison
doors ajar. But now it is learned they have
stolen soap and towels and sponges, immed-
lately there is held out the hopeful promise
of successful criminal prosecution! There is
reasonable hope of furnishing these Napoleons
of finance, it seems, when they steal as their
janitors and charwomen would steal! But
they are practically immune from punishment
for crimes the proceeds of which mount into
the millions! If the insurance investigation
has made one fact more prominent than any
other it is the need for a thorough and search

BODY OF w. I. o'BR1EN
RESTS IN THE GRAVE
Brief, but Impressive Service in Pres
ence of Few Intimate Friends, Is
Held at Plaza Hotel. Il T

An impressive funeral service was
that Of the late William L. O'Brien,
held at the Plaza yesterday afternoon.
It is difficult for the hundreds of
friends of Will O'Brien, who saw him
last. a few weeks ago.. apparently IN
perfect health, to realize that @he is
gone. In his active newspaper, work
there was nowhere a more Z llkeable
young man than Mr.. O'Brien. He had
a cordial way Of treating the public in
all his writing, which made friends
even of men whom he. was compelled
in the line of duty to oppose. His re-
tirement from newspaper work came
some years ago when he succeeded to
the estate Of his father, one of the
| leading men Of Cincinnati. Ii.
| Thereafter he was. less seen and the
| changes in the newspaper row soon
made his name a strange one. But
the older public men Of Minnesota re.
member well the work Of "B. OBJ
It was fearless but clever and good
natured. Moreover it was full of bits
of original style and showed always a
grasp Of the politics Of the state, which

that. =

customed to think Of him as enjoying
the good, things of life with his wife
With Mrs. 0 'Brien he had travelled
extensively. He always enjoyed good
health and possibly realized no better
than others that he was in dangerous
condition. His taking off was sad be-
cause of the bereavement of those he
leaves behind. His wife was his chief
his only comrade. They enjoyed life
together, proud of their growing daugh
ter, and happy in each others. society

can do to assuage poignant grief, but
