power to control not only the price. but
also the quality of gas.
What Newcastle thinks of municipal
ownership as a general proposition IS
shown by these closing paragraphs in
the Los Angeles mans letter:
About seven years ago Newcastle on
Tyne by overwhelming votes favored
manipulating Of the tramcar service in
the face of strenuous opposition by cor
porate interests, with the result that the
first years workings gave 100000 for
the reducing OF the rates, after paying
interest on loan and setting aside suffi-
cient to cover depreciation on plant. A
three-minute car service was given to
any part of the city and sufficient &C
commodation was provided without hav-
Ing to stand and hang onto strap hang
ers as in this city. Cheaper fares were
charged the public and better pay was
given to employees.
1T is strange that Newcastle on Tyne
should have so foolishly run the risk of
operating its own car service If it had
been clearly demonstrated that public
utilities, as gas for instance, was being
supplied at cheaper rate by a private
corporation than the city could supply
it."

JUSTICE GREENE.

A wide gap there is today in the ranks
of high Kansas citizenship. While 1T
has been known that Justice A. L.
Greene was seriously i'll, the public did
not realize that the end of his life was
SO near, and his death at Battle Creek,
Mich, Sunday, whittier he had gone for
treatment came as a surprise.
While he was exceedingly modest and
unassuming in his demeanor. Justice
Greene was recognized by his associates
on the bench and by the bar Of Kansas
as an exceedingly able jurist. His opin-
ions were regarded as sound. He had
a legal mind. Little criticism was ever
offered of his judgment by members of
the Kansas bar
AS a man and a citizen, Judge Greene
stood high. His genial, kindly nature
made him many friends among those
with whom he came in personal contact.
He possessed high sense of public
dut.7, yet he was thoroughly democratic
and undemonstratlve in his attitude. His
death is a distinct loss to the whole
state, and especially to the community
where he spent the most active years of
his life, and of which ne haPbeen an
influential citizen for more than a third
OF century.

A SIDE LIGHT.

In the recent reports on municipal
ownership in Great Britain made by the
committee of the National Civic Fedora
ton that has been investigating that
subject, certain members of the commits
tee who oppose municipal ownership laid
great stress on the gas rates at Newcas-
tie and Sheffield, where private owner
ship prevails, and contended that those
rates were much cheaper for the con-
the large cities where municipal owner
ship prevails.
A resident of Los Angeles, who for
ten years lived at Newcastle, writes
communication to the Los Angeles Ex-
press that gives a few reasons why the
gas rate a Newcastle is low under pri-
vate ownership.
Everybody has heard the expression,
Carrying coal to Newcastle" indica-
tive of uselessness. The fact that New
castle is in the center of the British coal
fields is given as one reason why gas is
cheaper there than it is in some cities
remote from the coal fields, which have
municipal ownership. AS long ago as
1892 the Newcastle gas rate was two
shillings per thousand feet, yet other
British cities with which the Los An
geles man was familiar. charged so per
cent more under private ownership.
Another reason for a low rate at New
castle is that the charter of the gas COM
pany gives the municipal authorities

HAYWooD's ACQUrTTAL.

Although hung Jury in the Haywood
case is what most people looked for,
the verdict of acquittal IS not nearly so
surprising as would have been a con-
viction. 1t would have been a very
unusual jury that would have sent to
the gallows a fellow man on no stronger
evidence than that against Haywood IN
this specific case.
While 1T is true that Haywood was
in a way connected with Orchard other
than by Orchards own testimony, yet
so little direct evidence was produced
aside from Orchards story-to show
that Haywood had a part in the muir
der of Steunenberg, that few men
would have condemned the defendant
to death for that crime. had the re-
sponsibility been theirs. 1t was shown
that both the Western Federation of
Miners and the mine owners were guilty
of wrong in the Colorado labor war,
but Haywood was not on trial for that.
The general facts about the Colorado
trouble were known to the public and
occasioned no great surprise except as
secret details of that labor war were
brought out. The story reflected no
great credit on either the mine owners
or the miners. Had Haywood been on
trial for misconduct in general in con-
nection with the Colorado labor trou-
bles the jury might have returned a
different verdict, but the prosecution
had a difficult task in trying to connect
him specifically with the murder of
Governor Steunenberg in a way that
would cause a jury of II men to find
him guilty of that murder.
This trial ought to do much to-
wards clearing the industrial atmos-
phere of the country, and particu-
larly in the west. 1t is generally con-
coded on both sides that Haywood has
had fair trial. 1t is to the credit
of the state of Idaho and to Judge
Wood that the whole nation has en-
dorsed the fairness with which the
trial was conducted. Those agitators
who demanded the acquittal of Hay
wood before they heard the evidence
and who proclaimed that Haywood
would not get a fair trial, have been
rebuked. Once more it has been
shown that it is best to allow the law
to take it's course. The country has
been educated in the matter of labor
troubles. 1t is safe to say that there
will be no repetition of the Colorado
outrages. Employers and employees
better understand the attitude and
the rights of the other side. This trial
ought to do away with the inclination
to violence in strikes. 1t shows how
much better arbitration would have
been for both sides.
While there may be some who are
so blinded by prejudice that they
would have been glad had the defen-
dant been convicted on any charge,
yet the people as a whole will doubt
less accept the verdict as Just, re-
Numbering that Haywood was on
trial for completely in a murder COM
mitted by man who had a long ca
reer as a murderer, and not on trial
for being an undesirable citizen. The
latter charge might still be made. 1t
could also be made with equal force
concerning the mine owners against
whom Haywood and his fellows
struggled, and against many another
capitalist and labor leader who try
to override law to gain some personal
advantage.
