to ask the legislature to pass a
special act enabling the county
commissioner to issue funding
bonds.
A bill is being. framed by the
representatives and senator and
the officials of Cherokee county
to be presented at the coming
term of the state Legislature for
the relief from the outstanding
heavy debt of the county.
A meeting of the county COM
missioners with Senator Huffman
and Representatives Hal Cowan
and S. c. Wescott for the purpose
Of framing a bill to be presented
was held. The plan under con-
sideration is for the issuing of
funding bonds to the extent of
the indebtedness which will be
estimated by the commissioners.
The experience of the county
during the past year was that the
payment of bills had to be sus-
pended about the first of June.
The same order will have to be
resorted to next year, probably
earlier, unless some relief is Sc
cured in some manner, The plan
of issuing funding bonds in small
denominations is thought to be
the most plausible way to get out
of debt.

WOULD JAPAN WHIP US!

The other day there was re-
turned missionary in Topeka, who
was quoted in purported inter-
view as saying that in case of a
war with Japan, the Japs would
whip the United States in six
months.
We do not know the reverend
gentleman who is said to have
given out this interview, but he
ought to proceed to some special
ist on articulation and have his
vocal organs repaired so that he
may no longer direct his CONVEX
sation through his head covering.
The man who says we can whip
Japan easily talks like a fool;
but so does the man who says
that Japan can whip the United
States in six months or six years.
1t may be that the Japs are
feeling chesty and really believe
that they can clean out all the
nations on the terrestrial sphere;
but we give them credit for hav-
ing a heap more sense than that.
The fact is that if Russia had
not been rotten from center to
circumference, Japan could not
have whipped that government,
in spite of the fact that Russia
was compelled to transport all her
troops and ammunition and most
of her army supplies over a sim
gle line of railroad nearly 5000
miles long. The government Of
Russia was rotten. The COM
missariat was rotten. Her ships
were rotten. No wonder she was
whipped. But even then Japan
was about all in when the job
was completed. Japan might, If
she were to suddenly declare war
against this nation, send enough
men over to the Philippines to
overpower the few regiments of
troops we have there and take
possession of the islands, but she
couldn't keep them. We are DE-
cidedly in favor of selling the
islands to Japan, but We are not
in favor of letting japan or any
body else take them away from
us without our consent. We
would labor at a tremendous adj
vantage in a war. with Japan,
and we do not want to see sikh
war come. Still we could get

COMMITTEE FOR PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Men Who Investigated Municipal
Ownership Abroad, Favor the
Plan in Vogue.

LONDON, July ION. E. Ingalls,,
chairman of the committee of investi-
cation, and w. j. Clark, chairman of
the ways and means committee Of the
civic federation, have sailed for Amer
ica The majority report of the COM
mittee which has been investigating
municipal ownership in Europe, ac-
cording to several who made a COM
plete canvass, declares strongly for
the municipal ownership of public
utilities
Every member of the committee ad-
mits municipal ownership has been a
great success in England, but a few
members, notably corporation men,
contend that the principle could not
be applied with equal success in
American cities. They declare that to
place such interests in the hands of
political contractors would be to Gre
ate additional opportunity for graft
and that the employment of the neces-
sary workmen for the operation of
such utilities would develop just that
much political patronage for division
among political leaders.
The idea that the committee was
appointed with the understanding that
it would bring in non-municipal
ownership report, it is said, is sig
nally contradicted. If Belmont and his
associates entertained such an idea at
the outset the belief is that he will be
sorely disappointed.
1t is learned that the only members
of the committee who will sign the
minority report, if one is prepared,
against municipal ownership, are
Walter Clark, third vice president of
the United Gas Improvement company
of Philadelphia; William Clark, gen.
eral foreign manager of the General
Electric company; Charles L. Edgar,
president of the Edison Electric COM
pany of Boston, and Melvin ingalls, of
the Big Four railroad, chairman of the
committee.

a powerful argument for municipal
ownership in American cities, probably

DEATH IN WRECK FULF|llS OMEN
Bride Who Lost Husband in British
Catastrophe Feared III Was
Impending.

NEW YORK, July lot became
known that there was an ill omen at
tached to the wedding of Miss Antonio
Dugro, daughter of Justice and Mrs
DugrO, with Frederick H. Ccssitt, who
was killed in the railroad wreck at
Salisbury, Eng, Sunday morning,
which greatly worried the bride. Try
as hard as she could she could not
shake off the fear that bad luck would
follow the wedding because of a hitch
in the marriage plans at the last mo-
ment Relatives and friends laughed
at her fears at the time, but Miss Du-
gro confessed that she was as super
stitious as all brides are when they
see the fates interfering with their
wedding arrangements.
The ceremony was performed before
a large and distinguished company of
guests in the ballroom of the Hotel
Savoy the afternoon of June IS. Rev.
DR.. William Owen of Mount Vernon,
N Y, an old friend of the Durgo fam
lily, had been asked to perform the
ceremony and he had expressed his
qualification over the prospect.
On the morning of the wedding day
the startling news was sent to the
bride that DR.. Owen had been stricken
with apoplexy and lay at deaths door
at his home
