IypicaI Case of City Bookkeeping.

TYPICAL case OF CIty DooNKeePrHg.
The authorities Of Lakewood. O.,
have charged the city $50 Il year for the
street lights supplied by the municipal
plant. After looking at their tax bills
some of the citizens came to the con-
clusion that this sum did not represent
all the cost and called in firm Of eX-
pert accountants, who ascertained that
the actual annual cost per arc had
been S12956 for the seven years the
plant had been in operation. although
the lights had been run on the moon
light schedule. AS private com
pany offers all night service for less
than half that amount, the experiment
is not regarded as Il success, except by
the lighting committee.

Unfair Distribution of Cost.

A special dispatch from kirkWood,
Mo-, to the Chicago Tribune states
that the municipal electric light plant
of that city has proved failure. The
generating plant will be shut down,
and electricity will be purchased from
a private company at one-third OF what
it has cost the city to make it. The
city will sell to its customers at a
price high enough TO enable it to light
the streets without cost to the tax
payers. This is typical Of municipal
ownership inequity-to force the users
of electricity TO pay for all the street
lighting. although they are not bene-
flied any more than the citizens who
use gas or oil.

How Advertising Paid.

.Don't advertise if you believe you

Suuandpring his money for printer s

John-we think his last name was
Wanamakpr, or maybe it was Money
maker, anyhow his name was John
with some sort Il maker attached to
his name. He owned 800 yards of
calico, three pairs of pants, a half
dozen pairs of boots. He called this
a dry goods store and offered to sell
n pair of socks for 81 cents. The

chants laughed, Young John spent
$50 with the Philadelphia Ledger to
advertise just one time and had less
than 500 worth of goods. He was
cautioned by the merchants who
"knew it didn't pay!" twas through
sympathy that they offered him adj
vice. But John didn't listen to them,
and went and blew his money III fool
ishly; and today poor John sees the
result OF his misdoings-he has so
many large dry goods stores that he

Bad Negroes North and South.

There are approximately eight
times as many negro criminals in the
North in proportion to the negro
population as there are in the South.
This statement is so remarkable that
it would be beyond belief did not the
IMPLYING and impartial statistics Of
the census bureau prove it.
Here are two examples:
In the group Of states composed
OF the New England states and New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
there were approximately 100000
negroes in 1904. During that year
o,192 negroes were committed to
prison in those states.
This shows that there were 1918
negroes committed to prison to
every 100, 900 in those states.
During the same year, in the group
OF states consisting of Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina. Ten

Unprecedented, Certainly.
Southport Herald.

Southport Herald.
Unprecedented scenes were enacted
in the Senate chamber of the historic
capitol of Alabama when the stat
utory prohibition bill was passed.
Women and children thronged the
corridors and gallery and even
usurped the floor itself, pushing the
Senator's from their seats and Civ
ing vent to their enthusiasm by
shouts and cheers that echoed and
re-echoed through the buildings.
Senators who opposed the bill were
Missed down when they arose to
speak against the measure and Lieu
tenant Governor Gray, the presiding
officer OF the senate was forced to re-
prove the spectators.
The above is part of Il news item
sent out the day after the prohibit
| ton bill. making the entire State Of
Alabama "dry' after Jan. LIST. 1909,
| passed the senate after being over
whelmin@ly carried iii the house
unprecedented scenes." Well, we
| should think SO. Better ''disgrace-
ful scenes The very thought of
| such scenes in the State enate cham
Der, participated in by women and
children is sickening. The passage
OF the State prohibition measure lis
alright. but when women and chill
dren usurp the Offices of their State
senators why not let the men step
down and oct and giveup their seats
to the female sex? Not less disgrace
| ful than the invasion Of the senate
chamber was the Kissing down of
| those members who had courage
enough to endeavOr to express their
convictions in opposition to the
prohibition measure. ''Sweet land
of liberty" indeed, when one cannot
be allowed to express his opinion
without the ridicule of the public be-
ing brought down upon his head by
Il lot OF women and children. We
hope that when the North Carolina
Legislature comes to vote on this
State prohibition question next SEES
sion, ii it does, that no such "scenes'
as the above will be enacted. More
good can be accomplished when criti,
cism and redicule by the enactiOn OF
such a ''show'' is left off.

That the Union station is at present

The advisability of putting a second
