TO TEST THE MORALE.

There are so many money making
schemes that come 50 near the line de-
nominated as 'graft," without obviously
crossing it, that it would seem that
some other standard than mere eondem-
nation by public opinion should be
adopted for testing the essential moral
ity Of such practices. The use of per-
sonal influence for a consideration, es-
pecially where that influence is insid-
iousIy employed by teachers to govern
the college destination of young pupils,
Is one of the latest threats Of evil.
The president of a college offers bc-
nus Of $50 to school principals for each
pupil whom they may induce to enter
his institution, and in his offer he states
that one gentleman who took up with
It influenced in the space of six weeks,
some nine students to enter his college.
OF course, the institution and it's head
are likely to get much free advertising
from this "graft" scheme. But what
about the doubling parents who have
taken teachers advice as to the college
destination of their sons and daughters?
What, too, about the lowered status OF
all colleges of its class by these Prac-
tices Of oneG

STATE OWNERSHIP SAMPLE.

Here are some municipal ownership,
or rather management, figures, which
are instructive. In Bismarck, n. D.
the State owned an electric car line.
Under State management it did not
pay, and it has just been leased for
two years to private company, headed
by q Mr.. Hughes "will run it upon a
continuous service, thus shortening the
present running time over one-half. The
rental is understood to be but nomiri-
al, as the State is glad to be rid Of
the octopus, the line having been Q
heavy loser. 1t is estimated the lease
win make saving of nearly $4,000 a
year to the State. The Hughes COM
pany will also furnish the light for the
capitol building. 1t can do it much
cheaper than the State can with its
own plant Again. from Alexandra,
Va, comes word that after ( trial OF
many years with a municipaiE-owned
plant, that city has leased its electric
works to a private corporation for a
perioA of thirty years. The plant cost
the city $4,000. The lessee gets it
for $500. These facts and figures
speak volumes.
