Municipal Ownership.

The municipal ownership movement is
spreading. 1t is proposed now to try 1t In
Berlin, where as the result of a street rail-
way monopoly there is much discomfort
about transportation. Well, as the question
is up, and a good deal depends on its solu-
ton, 1t may be best for everybody that it
be tried out in number of places and
under many differing circumstances. Gas-
gov, controlled by men of one of the can
niest breeds on earth, reports a success.
Chicago, controlled by men who have built
great city in swamp. has voted to try
the project New York voted the same way
last November. although the result was
changed in the count. And now Berlin, the
headquarters of the most Intellectual So
cialism of the day, is thinking along that
line. We should know in few years what
ever there may be of permanent Importance
In the matter.

The Chinese Boycott.

Mr. Dubois of Idaho has the right view
of the Chinese boycott. and obtained 1t
while travelling In and near that country.
The movement was not designed TO cor
rect the Interpretation of the exclusion law
in the interest of the exempted classes OF
Chinese, but an entering wedge for the
destruction of the whole law. A few-a
very few-cases of hardship suffered by
members of the exempted classes have been
shown. and that is all, But upon that
slender foundation mas been reared a story
giving the impression that Chinese mer-
chants and students and scholars without
number have been stopped at our borders
and subjected TO the greatest humiliatons.
until at last China, i'm the full spirit of self
respect Is resolved to put an end to the out
rage. So she strikes us where she thinks
we live, and what are we going to do about
1t?
The game. as has been plain enough from
the first, is in the coolies interests His
longing. slanting eyes are fixed on America,
the land of money and other good things
and he wants the bars let down. He wants
two coolies to be working in the field where
only one has been. and is now. employed
And he has his sympathizers and coadju-
tors among US. Some housekeepers, taking
their views of the labor problem from the
embarraSsments of the Kitchen some con-
tractors, figuring on lowering wages in this
country and increasing their own profits, and
some cotton planters in the south, figuring
on larger sales of cotton goods to the far
east. are willing to receive the coolies in
droves.
But the game halts. 1t will not work.
The discontinued housekeepers, the grasp
. Ing contractors, the shortsighted cotton
planters are not in the majority in their re-
spective localities. We are not ready now,
and probably never shall be. to fill up with
coolies to relieve any real or fancied labor
troubles. local or national; and all the fine
writing, in magazines or elsewhere, and ali
the fine speaking, in Congress or out, with
the coolies hid away, but their welfare the
real object of the deliverances, cannot be-
fog the subject or the situation.
Mr.. Tillmdn's resolution should be
adopted. and every effort made to probe the
boycott question, although it will be very
difficult to get at the facts. Mr.. WI Ting
fang, it will be observed from the remarks
of Mr. Warren of Wyoming, pleads not
guilty.

Public and Private Business.

Why should there be one law OF bushes,
for the government service and anothe;
law OF business for private enterprises?
That question remained unanswered for
many years while the spoilsmen were en-
joying their pickings in the days before
civil service reform became an established
factor for the good OF the public. The COM
mon sense of the people finally forced an
answer In the form OF a merit system es-
tablishment which has worked to the Inn

The Two-Mile Motor.

The goal of the automobilists. a record or
two miles minute, has at last been
reached. with a margin to spare. Iester-
day at Ormond beach two cars were sent
over a two-mile course. with flying starts
in less than minute. one car making the
distance in 80 80 seconds, and the other in
rs As seconds. This is undeniably phe-
nomenal speed and represents a great stride
in the planning, building and operation OF
high-power motors. 1t remains to be seen
whether it will ever make for any Practical
benefit. There is the possibility that the
perfection of power-producing devices en-
ployed in these motors may be applied in
the evolution of higher speeds on railroads.
Already, however, it is to be remembered.
an electric car has been driven over test
track in Germany at the rate of 100 miles
an hour, approximately the same as the
speed developed at Ormond yesterday. So
that the motor car has no advantage thus
far over the electric traction car.
The main problem of transportation to-
day is not the attainment of great speed,
but the making safer of the cars and trains
that are now running at from sixty to
ninety miles an hour In service. 1t has
been lately demonstrated to be possible
20 send train from New York to Chicago
In sixteen hours. involving running speeds
as high as ninety miles an hour at times.
This is an exceptional speed and the condi-
lions are made perfect for 1t. 1t would be
utterly impossible to maintain an entire
railroad service on the same scale. Indeed,
the fastest regular express trains now oper-
ated are sent between those two cities in
eighteen hours. the sixteen-hOu train hav-
ing been merely put to that pace for test
purposes.
The two-mle motor without tracks is OF
course a toy, dangerous to a deadly degree
and incapable Of practical pse on the roads.
II is positively impossible that a car should
be driven at a two-mile rate over the best
of country roads. with its turns and grades.
lions must be perfect to permit a speed of
even a mile n minute. Indeed at thirty
miles an hour road cars are frequently
overturned or swerved into distractions
because of the roughness of the path or
the inequalities of grade. pebble the size
Of a rife ball may serve to puncture a tire
and cause fatal collapse.
Notwithstanding the positive limitations
to the practical use TO which these enor-
mously powerful and speedy cars may be
put they will continue to be developed 10
higher and stIu higher stages of perfection.
and killed. The game is a dangerous one
and probably its attractiveness to Its
deyOtees comes mainly from that fact.

When the conscience of a community is

that which takes place when only an indi-

better things in all respects. There is new
reverence for law and new desire to repress

cleaner streets and more honorable public

Today will see another test Of the
with even more sensational plays than
any of the games played so far this
season. The opposing teams are more
evenly matched than they were last
Saturday, and for this reason, if for no
other, the plays will be of different
kind. -'. i
Most of the football coaches are of
the opinion that more trick plays will
be attempted in today 8 game, for they
argue that the players have benefited
by their experience Saturday and have
become more perfected in the strategies
outlined by the college coaches.
Besides, in the opening contests the
elevens were unwilling to attempt their
real fine plays, for fear of divulging
them to their future opponents. But
today to keep from being scored upon
by the other side, the big teams will
be forced to resort to some Of their
trick formations. ... ~. - Z,
The working Of the forward pass will
be watched with keen interest by all
of the coaches because the efficacy Of
this movement has not yet been proved
to their entire satisfaction. If the for
ward pass works as poorly today as it
did last Saturday for most of the teams.
then it is practically certain that it will
be ignored by most of the colleges and
| other plays will be invented to take it's
place. Each coach will train his team
to watch closely for the pass, and few
Of them will use it for the rest Of the

Now that the high schools have their

nual weeding-out process is at hand.

will probably be kept up until the
game has been put out Of the schools.
South high is the heaviest loser.
Eight men have been barred and a.
ninth has been forced to quit on ac-;
count Of parental objections. The men,
declared eligible are: Shove, fullback;
Ostrem, quarter; Brooks, end; Hort,
quarter; Roberts, quarter; Lindscog,
ineman; Phelps, halfback, and Elliott,
center. Ralph, Capron, who: made "a
great showing in the alumni game, was
forced to resign on account Of failing
to get permit from his parents.
Central has lost only one man so far
and Coach, Morse says that all other
candidates are eligible. Shraeder, the
big fullback, is the unlucky man. Pro-
fessor j. N. Greer asked him to either
produce an affidavit to show that he
was under 81 or quit practicing. He
chose the latter course and has not been
out since Monday.

Robe was an easy mark for Glade, but
Roth cracks one in the nose and it
crashed against the bulletin board, like
Isbell's drive. Dougherty registered

Owen then struck out and Hahn was
thrown out by Rockefeld, leaving Roth
on third base.
Pat Dougherty also started the trou-
BILE in the fourth with terrific smash
to Rockefeld that Ike fumbled and
then threw wild. Pat was on second
when Jones recovered the ball. Robe
was retired by Jones, but the smuggling
catcher Roth broke up things about
this time with a clean single thru short
and Dougherty scored. Owen was put
out, but Hahn scored Tannehill with
a vicious swipe to light field that
counted for two bags. This ended the
run getting for Chicago, and the
browns could not score all afternoon.
St. Louis could hit Owen only when it
