Municipal Ownership Abroad.

Certain effects of the municipal
ownership movement in Great Britain
on the private companies are evident,
says Prof Commons. The Sheffield
company, under the far-seeing man
agement of Sir Frederick Mappin, has
directed it's policy for many years with
the distinct purpose of meeting the
arguments for municipal ownership.
To avoid agitation, it has refrained
from going to parliament for permis-
sion to increase it's capital stock. Con-
sequently it has distributed it's large
surplus profits in the form of reduced
prices for gas and betterments, to it's
plant. Most instructive of all is the
attitude of the compan. es toward their
employees. With the sentiment of mu-
nicipal ownership ready to explode, the
companies cannot afford to risk a
strike. The Newcastle gas company
has met this situation by a willing
recognition of the gas workers union
and by a resort to arbitration through
which wages have been materially
raised. The South Metropolitan COM
pany has developed it's co-partnership
scheme with astonishing shrewdness
and careful attention to details, so that
every disaffected workman is silent or
dismissed. The Sheffield company, al
though it's president had openly at
tackled and wrecked trade unions in his
private business, contented itself with
gradually undermining the gas work.
ers' union, through the payment OF
wages and bonuses superior to those
paid by other private employers of the
district, and even in the case of un-
skilled labor, superior to those paid by
the corporation Of Sheffield.
Influence of Wage -Earners.
The influence of wage-earnest
through their unions upon the condi-
lions of municipal employment in the
| United States has been complicated
through the presence and activity OF
practical politicians. In the municipal
enterprises Investigated, except South
Norwalk and Richmond, the eight
hour day has been established for the
past 10 or Is years for all employees
whereas in the private companies the
hours are longer or have more re.
Gently been reduced for portion, bu
not all, of their employees in the more
skilled branches of work. This ad.
vantage in municipal undertaking
has been brought about, not by def
mite labor party. but by the influence
of wage earnes as voters upon tn
municipal officials.
Prof. Commons Views.
The views expressed by Prof. Com
mons are in many respects favoabl
to municipal ownership. He finds
however, that the proper method 0
dealing with employees is the most DIFF
ficult and critical problem Of munici
pal ownership. and he favors recogni
ton OF organized labor as safeguar
against the pressure OF outside (po

Nervous
 Indigestion

The action of diges- tion is controlled by nerves leading to the stomach. When they are weak, the stomach is de- prived of it's energy. It has no power to do it's work. If you want per manent relief, you must restore this energy. Dr. Niles Nervi1Ie restores nervous energy, and gives the organs power to per form their functions.

For many years I was an acute sufferer from nervous indigestion; at times l was so Respondent life seemed almost a burden. I tried all kinds of remedies and various physicians with little or no relief, until one night last summer I saw Dr. Miles Nervine ana Heart Cure advertised. I resolved to make one more trial which I did in the purchase of one bottle of Nervine and one of Heart Cure. In a few days l began to feel better, which encOur- aged me so much that I continued the medicine until I had taken more than a dozen bottles. l am very much i'm, proved in every way; in body, mind and spirits since. l make a special point to recommend the medicine, ana I feel a sincere pleasure in knowing that several persons have been bene., fted throu~h my recOmuenda tionS.

HARRIMAN'S REAL GAME.
He Wanted to Be United States Sena-
tor in Mr.. Dcpew's Place.

1t is said at the White House that Harri-
man wanted to be United States senator
in place of Depew at the time he was seek
ing to have President Roosevelt send
Depew as ambassador Of the United States
to Paris.
That, according to White House gossip.
is the inside history of the famous con-
troversy between President Roosevelt and
Hartman as to certain things that passed
between them in October 1904, just be-
fore the election of that year. President
Roosevelt is said to have fully understood
the plan that Hartman wanted to play,
and that is the reason he did not fall into
it.
From sources close to the President it is
learned that the information the President
had at the time was that Hartman and
Odell entered into an agreement that II
they could get Depew out of the way the
latter would make Hartman senator. Odell
was then in control of the machinery and
legislature of the state. and would not have
rad the least trouble in carrying out his
end of the deal. The trouble. though. was
that Depew was in the way and his friends
would have resented his defeat 1t was
thought that Depew would be tickled with
the idea of going to Paris as ambassador
and would willingly relinquish the Senate
for that honor. 1t is still supposed that he
would have done

BACK FROM MEXICO.
Commissioner West at His Desk in
District Buildinp

Commissioner West returned to this city
early this morning from business trip to
Mexico, and was at his desk today. He
states that he was greatly benefited by his
short vacation.
Mr.. West was accompanied on this trip
by Senator Gallinger. chairman of the Dis
trict committee of the Senate, and Hope
well II. Darneille, former assessor OF the
District Commissioner West said that the
trip was very satisfactory from a business
point of view.
Possibly the most pleasing and novel eN
perience of the trip was day spent at
Parral Mexico. with Don Pedro Alvarado.
the multi-millionaire mining king OF Mexico.
Don Pedro entertained the members of the
party at lunch in his mammoth mining
camp and then escorted them over part of
his big ranch. which Is as large as the en-
tire District OF Columbia Afterward he In
vited them to his home which he recently
constructed at cost of a million dollars.
During their visit to Alvarado's mining
camp the local people visited his mines a
privilege which is seldom accorded to
Americans.
This prominent Mexican six years ago
was practically penniless. and since fortune
has smiled upon him he has done much In
a charitable way toward his feliowtowns-
men. Several months ago he offered to pay
the public debt of Mexico. but this was
not accepted
Commissioner West stated that during
the trip Senator Gallinger went very thor
oughly into large number of matters per-
tanning to the District, and he showed Il
very thorough knowledge of local affairs
Mr.. West stated that he was glad of the
opportunity which had been afforded to
talk over District affairs with the chairman
o fthe Senate District committee. inasmuch
as II would result he believed. In q better
understanding about desirable legislation.

THE HAGUE PEACE PROGRAM.
Negotiations Practically Finished
Invitations Out Soon.

ST. PETERSBURG. April 3-The nego-
tiataons regarding the program for The
Hague peace conference have been practi-
cally finished. Prof. De Martens, who was
received in audience by Emperor Nichola
yesterday, informed the Associated Press
today that Russian explanatory note will
be made public in a few days and the for
NAL issuance of the invitations by Holland
is expected next week.
Though definite statement regarding the
contents Of the Russian note is not oh
taanable. It is understood that it will com.
municate to the powers the reservation BY
the United States and Great Britain of the
right to Introduce for discussion at the con.
ference the question Of the limitation OF
ornaments. the American reservation in.
Guiding also discussion of the Drago doc
trine.
1t is intimated that Russia will not Cd.
pose the proposed discussion The Russian
program Issued last March. which does not
mention ornaments, will, however, be sub
mitted to the conference unchanged.
According to Prof. De Martens, Russia
believes the time is not ripe for the discus
sion of the question OF the limitation o,
ornaments. as practical results cannot be
obtained. but If the United States and
Great Britain are resolutely determined to
bring the subject before the conference
Russia is not inclined to insist on it's ex-
clusion. In consequence of the unsuccess-
full war Russia's army and fleet are far be-
low their normal strength and efficiency
and she is not willing to restrict her free
dom of action in resuming her proper MILL
tary position.
Ambassador Riddle has not participated
In the peace conference negotiations here
which have been conducted by the British
Austrian. German and Russian representa-
tives. who are chiefly interested in a speedy
settlement of the questions under discus
sion. considerable margin of time between
the issuance of the invitations and the
opening of the conference being desirable in
the case Of the South American republics
whose interests the United States is watch
ing. 1t is learned that one reason for the
delay was the failure of Turkey to sign the
protocols OF the first conference, her adj
herence to the regular conventions of war
fare being considered highly desirable
