EVILS MORE THAN BALANCE.

OPPONENTS OF municipal ownership find
- their sole stock in trade in assertions that
the plants conducted by cities are managed ex-
travagantly. Therefore it is a bad thing they say
fer city not to leave such business in the
hands Of private monoposts. But there
not just as great evils connected with the man
agements OF business by private individuals, espe-
cially the later day monopolists. II we have
extravagant conduct by public officials have we
not also the extortionists and cruel commercial
private marauders as illustrated by the cor
morant ice trust, and the coal barons?
II citizens are so foolish as to permit their
servants in the management of utilities to be-
come careless and wastefuh it is their own fault
They have remedy swift and sure at hand The
rascals can be turned out
But what a hard fight it is against the private
monopolists who have their grip upon the throats
of the people. They fix themselves upon the
community like leeches. They seek to run poll
tics and business as we'll. Surely the evils of
municipal ownership are not greater than those
which obtain when public services are under the
sway of the preying commerciaists whose only
object in life is to see how large sum they can
filch from the people

MAY SUE FOR
THEIR SALARIES

Mandamus proceedings will probably
be taken at the September term Of Su-
perlor Court to compel State Treasurer
Thomas N. Rawlins TO pay the war
rants of the State legislators for the
amounts voted by them as cQmpensa-
ton for the extra session.
The members Of the General Assem-
bly, at the special session which elected
Colonel II, A, dupont senator, voted
themselves thirteen days pay after
considerable discussion as to whether
pay should he for five days OF actual
session, or the time intervening be-
tween the eonvenlng and the adjourn
ment,
These warrants, for se5 for each
member, when they reached Treasurer
Rawllns, We're laid aside until he could
consult with the attorney-general, and
he has since refused to honor them, de-
claring compensation for thirteen days
TO be Unconstitutional
Representative Willard T. Smith and

the matter at the next term of court

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tions of One Dollar each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber We will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help US achieve a great victory.

THE ROOSEVELT IDEA TRIUMPHANT.

THE miscaled conservatives or supporters
i of "vested interests" received set back
during the recent movement for square deal Tor
the masses, but they have not lost their cunning
They will not give up the struggle for the special
privileges that they have so long enjoyed. Should
thev do SO they would be acting contrary 70 all
the examples Of history. They will desperately
hold on to what they have and try to secure still
further advantages Already their organs are
preparing for the next great presidential battle
They will seek to control both OF the large
political parties.
Judging from the trend of the articles in the
New York organs OF the trusts and the monopo-
listic forces, these privileged classes desire
neither the nomination of Bryan as the Demo
cratic candidate nor Roosevelt as the Republican
one Hence they are insisting upon every occa-
zion that the President under no circumstances,
will be a candidate for the denomination at the
hands Of the party. And they are pointing out
in their fear, hundred and one reasons why the
President could not afford to enter the presi-
dental race again. They are dreadfully afraid OF
the President They want to kill him off and the
cause for which he stands, They hope to get
him out Of the way. Then they would take their
chances to secure the nomination by the Republi-
cans of a man OF the Aldrch-Foraker group
With Roosevelt out of it, the special privilege
organs then seek to discredt Bryan, They in
their hearts hate Roosevelt and despise Bryan
With Bryan squeched in the Democratic camp
they might attempt to name candidate Of the
Parker stamp and then their victory would be
complete.
The trusts and the special interests, however,
are likely to miss their mark. Roosevelt prob
ably will not again be the standard bearer OF the
party but the choice of the next National Re-
publican Convention will be a man who supports
the ideas of President Roosevelt. There will be
plenty of such men when the time comes.
The work that the President has accomplished
in the warfare against unjust privilege and greed
and graft will not be permitted to drop with a
dull thud Il will not become mere memory or
Aeeting fancy. The people have learned the
gospel OF the square deal They have realized
the tremendous resources of the country They
have been aroused on the question of the fair and
equitable distribution of wealth. They are no
longer deluded by the gabble that prosperity de-
pends solely upon production. That is good
enough talk for Uncle Joe Cannon as he journeys
around the country in close company with his
plutocratic and beef trust friends, but it won't
was with the people. The latest plan of the
monopolsts and the trust bugs will be abortive
They have had their day of pillage and expoita-
ton The great mass OF the voters will have
their own innings.

A $4,000 SHOCK IN
ONE BRIEF HUG

TAUNTON. Mass, Aug. 10-Five
thousand dollars worth Of shock and
an assortment of black and blue spots
Of varying dimensions is the bill of
coseApresented by Anna Irene sher-
man. of Fan River, to George Sim
mons for brief but vivid hug, with
.osculatory accompaniment, delivered
while buggy-riding. Miss Sherman,
who has entered suit in the Superior
Court here, offers evidence which tends
to show that either Mr.. Simmons
lacked the necessary skill to execute
the peripatetic hug or that the tradi-
tions Of buggy-riding have undergone
a sudden change.
In the fashion Of bygone days a one
handed effort at driving, a sympa-
thetic horse being guaranteed, was all
that was considered necessary. The
left arm by natural instinct wreath
ed itself about a waiting waist, and
what happened thereafter the horse
never told.
Mr.. simmons steed was apparently
unused to the role of Cupid, for ac-
cording to Miss Sherman's story, after
they had driven to a secluded spot far
from the haunts of men, or even the
moon, Mr.. simmons had to employ
both arms mot to mention both lips)
IN accomplishing the expensive shock
The occasion wos the Fourth Of July
and Miss sherman still in her teens
and exceedingly pretty, is willing to ad
init the provocation, but she demands
financial atonement for the hug. Men
tai and physical cruelty she calls 1t.
When he rebelled-'he had taken
away her breath at first and shf
couldn't speak-.he kept right on. She
demonstrated a second time. but Mr.
Simmons, who thought he knew girls
was too much occupied to reply. Their
she fought. whereupon, she asserts, h'
slapped her and pulled her hair. Sh'
escaped and ran back home, and hal
kept on being shocked ever since.
Simmon Is a man Of wealth and wal
formerly Miss Sherman's admirer. His
reputation as a hugger is now, a
1 stake.

A Public DUTY.

Editor The Evening Journal.
Can you inform the public what is
the meaning of the Investigation now
being carried on by the ofice of the
District Attorney, what the investi-
gators expect 20 accomplish by II and
why the said investigation was post
poned until almost on the evening of
an election.
These are questions ! believe the
people would like TO be enlightened
upon. The Assistant District Attorney
is quoted as saying that there will be
no arrests made as a result of the work
now being done II this is the case
what is expected to be accomplished
by 1t and why. If the evidence war
rants II, should arrests not be made9
surely such an utterance sounds
strange. II the District Attorneys of
flee Is investigating for the purpose Of
tinearthihg fraud why should not the
perpetrators of said fraud be punish
ed. Has the Assistant District At
torney been convinced already that
there Is not enough evidence TO con-
viot any one? If he has made this dis
covery why should the investigation
be continued longer2 No one seems to
be able to get "head nor tail" Of the
move. Ii has been suggested that the
hands Of some OF our Democratic
brethren are figuring in the deal. Can
this be true?

AS a Delaware avenue on its way 10 Henry

When the conductor reached him and asked for his

Editorial Opinion
Municipal Ice plants.

New York Press.
Medical journals recently have been
urging the establishment Of municipal ice
plants as the surest way TO reduce sum-
mer mortality by keeping the price OF ice
within reasonable bounds under all cir
cumstances. The intensely warm weather
which the city has suffered for several
days viii emphasize the plea Of the physi-
clans and their publications in the dean
records which will follow rather than at
tend the hot spell" The value Of ice TO
the poor, OF course, Is not that they may
have frigid water to drink. The poor and
.the rich would be all the better Off for not
drinking iced water. The service which
II performs which 1t must perform unless
thousands Of lives are to be sacrificed,
is in preserving food in general ana In
particular milk for infants.
In such weather as New York has ex-
perienced lately II would be difficult TO
prevent milk from turning" and other
food from becoming tainted from day
to day even If they were kept in deep,
well ventilated cellars; and Of course
the hundreds Of thousands who live IN
the tenement house districts do not know
what cellar Is. Ice becomes indispen-
sable II the poorer population is not TO
be poisoned by spoiled food. The medi-
cal journals are advancing the argu-
ment that II is an incumbent on a
great city to supply ice in warm
weather as Il Is to supply water al
the year around. And there Dis a great
deal Of reason in the contention that
there Is a case where the direct laws
OF economics could be waived by a
community for the benefits to be In
CURED indirectly. Even II public own
ership and operation Of ice plant'
should be accompanied by such care
less and extravagant management thai
the cost OF production and distribution
were greater than II the work were
performed by private interests, the
immense advantage to the community
OF keeping people in better health and
thus less likely to become public
charges would outweigh the added cos
lof manufacture. Aside from TIT
mercy which would 0e bestowed oI
suffering thousands, there would b.
the physical gain to the city Of l
sounder population.

so EXACT, THESE coUNcILMEN.

VATHAT quibblers are some members OF City
w Council A communication was re-
ceived from citizens last evening calling atten-
ton Of Council to the report that certain public
service. corporations have failed to carry out the
conditions of their charters 1t was alleged that
profits due the city had been wrongfully
diverted.
:ysndnxeo 70 G ya3saiUmademuFn m NIB
Immediately upon the reading of the letter
several councmen arose in their indignation
They desire the senders Of the letter to be abso-
lutely specific in their formal communications 1t
seems to us that the mere intimation of such
condition as that inquired about would be sufh-
cient for the couneilmen to begin an investiga-
ton If the rumor is false all right No harm
would be done
But city fathers alert to the welfare OF the
municipality, would clutch any report flying
through the air that the city is being defrauded.
1t is their business to safeguard in every way
the interests of the municipality The presump-
ton is usually against public service corporations
treating municipality fairly. They have TO be
watched day and night. In fact city is more
or less continually at war with corporations that
delight in eyading their agreements
