 After trial in many places in the United States the municipal ownership of public utilities has proved in nearly every case to be failure, and numbers of towns and cities which started plants or their own for providings lights and other utilities have sold them to private owners or are preparing to do so.
 Boston has a municipal ferry boat line which is operated at loss. while the taxes paid by other cities for their ferry boat systems is a source of large revenue. Omaha, which elected a Dem ocratic Mayor upon municipal owner weary of the subject Chicago has en- countered so many obstacles in it's mu- nicipal ownership movement that the issue Is distressing nightmare to the citizens.

 Private Management of Public Utilities.

 must also employ more of them. again at the behest of the politicians in con trol. to do the same amount of work which a much smaller number employ ed by a private concern can do. Under our present system of muni- cipal politics the acquisition by a city of any public utility means usually just so many soft berths for political henchmen and the soft berths under
 such conditions mean incapacity, care the franchise.
 Employees of private concerns are se- lected for the fitness for the work. while employees of municipalities are chosen largely for political reasons. At the same time. when politicians, as Is invariably the case. are in charge of municipal plants the opportunities for graft are many and notwithstanding All efforts at reform it has been found impossible, by cities having long ex- perience, to entirely eliminate this feature The result of this condition not only upon the service to the citizens, but It's danger to the community.

 These are the chief reasons why mu- , nicipal ownership has been found 70 pc d failure in this country and this IS

vvA .bava just received another hard tolt from an altogether unexpected quarter. This time it is from The Kansas City Journal, which begins an editorial thus;
 The silly season" appears to nave hit the Federal administration par ticularly hard. With such an exam nie as President Roosevelts rlolcu- ious and wholly unwarranted exploltS, :, ation of an insane spelling reform, fha various departments leel free to go to almost any extreme m aoVerIs- ing themselves as cubby holes for the feeble minded. The latest piece oI as- ininity that has come out of wash" after in the department of printing and engraving all women who apply for positions there must conform 10 a set of measurements and specifications.
 Our surprise in this instance ~is be- caue of the source from which this comes. If there is a newspaper in all this broad land that might confl- dently be expected to endorse and entnuse over everything said or done by Roosevelt The Journal is that paper. yet here 1t Is referring to his action in such plain English as might be expected from the wickedest Demo- crat m the land. There is much moro in the editorial of the same kind put we have quoted enough to show that even a thick-and- thin Republican or gan will buck at some things done by it's President. We beg to congratulate The Journal.

Two Roofed Lakes.

Philadelphia Bulletin.
 A roofed lake exists in Siberia near Obdorsk This lake is nine miles wide and seventeen miles long. Its roof, natural one. is made of salt
 Geologists say that long ago great part of the water of the lake of Ob- dorsk must have suddenly evaporated, leaving huge crystals aoat on the sur face hTese crystals in time caked to- gether. Thus the water was entirely covered over with them as though frozen.
 The lake in 1878 dropped three feet. It found an underground outlet into the Obi River. but the salt crust was so thick upon it that it retained its own level Not dropping at all. 1t formed a roof of salt three feet high over the whole body of water.
 On the Mangishlak Peninsula, in the Caspian Sea, there Is another lake that has a roof of salt crystals thick and strong enough to allow men and horses to cross it on foot.

HE TALKS SENSE.

IL is somewhat encouraging to note that even up North the Republicans are learning something about the race question. For example. The Indian apolis Star quotes with approval an editorial opinion or statement from a negro newspaper of that city--name not given--in which the editor declares that "the aristocratic Southern man IS the only real friend of the negro. Barring the word ''aristocratic." which Is not appropriate. the statement is true It is probable that the writer alluded generally to the old slave hclders and their descendants, and there he was correct. As a general proposition. they are the best friends of the coiored people. whether the only ones or not.
 If the negroes, Immediately after the close of hostilities in 1865, had fol- lowed the advice and example of their old masters, instead of falling under control of the political adventurers who swarmed down here from the North, both the negroes and the South erH Wntte people Wouiu hdVs ucS" infinitely better off. There were some who came down here with real de- sire to help and benefit the negroes. bLt in most instances their ignorance of the objects of their sympathy made them more enemies than friends of the negros welfare.
 While it is undoubtedly true that some Northern men and women came South with the best of motives 1t is equally true that a great majority of tho visitors had no other object tan to make all they could out of the coi- ored man and brother" politically. and financially, and they were not at all scrupulous as to the methods used. And 70 these men. and the irritation they caused, and the general bad effects of their inter ference, is due whatever of injury the negroes of the South have suffered at the hands of the whites.

It is somewhat amusing to find The Buffalo News. intense Republican, de- claring that nobody knows the boss system better than the President or le- tests it more than he" If there is a public man in all the country who has proven himself a more arrogant boss, in fact or in attempt than Roosevelt, we do not now recall him to memory. He has not only tried to boss his party, locally and generally. but has extend ed his assumacy to Congress and to all departments o' the government Of late he is trying to boss the English language. The issue of The News from which we take the above sentence con tains two editorials telling how he is trying to run New York State politics by taking sides with Parsons. Wads- worth and others against Quigg and ODell and their following. and he is making it plain that he proposes to boss the party in that State. Yes. Roosevelt may detest all bosses-zbut himself and he is the biggest of all.

AFTER THE FLEA.

It is gratifying and satisfying to learn that the national Department or Agriculture is at last about to get to investigate the flea-"the wicked flea whom no man pursueth." It doesn't propose to tackle the entire pulex family at one time, be 1t under stood. That would be too big a job for even the President to undertake lights to take 1t up. What the De- partner mt proposes to do is to get after that particuclar branch of the tribe that makes cats yowl and dogs roll over and scratch themselves.
 It is an. interesting as well as mo- mentous business. One or the old re- cires for cooking a hare began: ''ENrst catch your hare" and that advice is hereby rendered the experts of the De- paFtment, as the preliminary step. for necessarily they must catch the little jumper before they can investigate catch him. or they may hire small boys to round up and bring In a supply. If those methods are not successful they can capture the first stray dog or cat they find. with the certainty of getting wcll-developed specimens for investiga- ton.
 As yet we are not fully informed as to the direction and scope of the investigation. We presume the objects to be attained are all defined in the minds of those who will conduct the movement. They will want to know first what fleas are intended for and why they were put here. Then 1t may be necessary to know how they breed and. most important of all. how to get rid of them. That last is the point most people will be interested in. We care little why they were created or how and where they propagate, but we do want to know how to dodge the little pests. If the Department Will make 1t plain how humanity at large can avoid the things 1t will be a dis ttnct benefit to mankind.
