MuN1cIPAL OWNERSHIP.

e OR the last six years Hagerstown' Md. has
& been experimenting in municipal owner
shin Of the lighting plant The issue was forced
upon the residents by the monopoly held by PR
vate companies. For some years the Hagerstowa
Railway Company supplied the electric lighting
with reasonable charges for street lighting but
the charge for commercial lighting at lS cents
ner kilovatt-hour was considered excessive The
owners Of the street railway company had also
obtained control of the only gas works in the
city and were trying to secure the city water
works system then owned by private company
With monopoly staring them in the face the
citizens voted, by great majority, to construct
an electric lighting plant for commercial as wen
as for street lighting purposes
During the six years it has been in operation
the municipal plant has been compelled to meet
the competition of the private company which
lowered its rates considerably In the face of this
competition the citw owned plant, however has
been enabled almost to meet the expenses OF
operation including interest on the inyestme 1t
and allowances Tor depreciation.
The manager of the city plant assures the tax
PAYERS that within another year the municipal
plant will pay its own way and the streets OF
the city will be lighted free. Had the municipal
plant not been erected the city would have been
at the mercy of a monopoly. This statement
shows that municipality owned plant is a
good thing for the citizens Of Hagerstown
On the other hand a committee of Kaukauna,
Wisconsin, aldermen has been visiting Indiana
and Ohio cities examining municipal operation
Of lighting plants and its report is uniavorable'
but the draw back is high salaries and incompet-
ent management That seems TO be the whole
question involved in municipal ownership.
Where there are several competing companies
after business in a city for instance as in VIII
mngton, the municipal ownership problem is
likely to be held in abeyance.

Make Il Death Penalty.

Editor The Evening Journal
Fairminded people and those who
want crime punished indorse the state
ment of Representative j. Hampton
Moore. Of Philadelphia. regarding train
wrecking and making il a capital Of
fense. If we condemn TO death a per-
son who kills another. why shouldn't
we treat trainwreckers. in the same
manner? They deliberately wrecl,
trains. and in doing so frequently cause
the death Of hundreds Of passengers.
If murder of that kin is let 60 by
with only q heavy sentence in prison,
then a man who kills another should
not be condemned go death. The
wrecking Of trains has become 40 fre-
Quent of late that it behooves as TO
get 10 work on some plan to severely
punish those caught perpetrating this
crime Representative Moore believes
that trainwrecking can be reached by
federal statute under our Interstate re-
lations. and I am of the same opinion
At any rate. the several states should
take the matter w and enact a law
making this crime punishable by death.

ANOTHER RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

THE appalling list Of recent railroad wrecks
Il is increased by another disaster, this time
in California when special train carrying men,
bers OF the order of the Mystic Shrine went 70
death and destruction.
The accident is said to have been due to a de-
fective switch and if this is true it shows clearly
a case of negligence No doubt rigid invesh-
CATION will be made-after the accident as usual
but the travelling public will wonder why care
is not exercised at all times to safeguard the pas
sengers against preventable mishaps If trains
are to be run at terrific speed the greatest cau-
ton should be maintained at all times to guard
against serious disasters The recent accidents
on the rails have occurred on different lines and
under different railroad arrangements. 1t looks
as if the whole system and methods of railroad
ing will have to be investigated with a view OF
decreasing the danger from such calamites as
that in California.

TO ASK FOR

Mrs. Howard Gould May Go

Of Marital Troubles

Much interest is manifested in this
city in the marital troubles Of Mr. and
Mrs. Howard Gould in New York
Mrs. Gould viii he remembered by
many Wilminetonians as sponsor for
Mr. Gould's yacht Niagara when it
was launched from the Harlan and
Hollingsworth Yards a few years ago.
She was then Miss katherine Glenn

launching she married Mr.. Gould and
they took trip around the world in

a strike"

those who expect sensational develop

charge of misconduct win be made by

BUILDING oUTLooK.

IT is unfortunate that at the beginning OF what
promises to be a very active year in building
operations in Wilmington, there should be differ
ences between employers and the carpenters.
With the employers and the men in harmony the
city would doubtless make a great advance ir
building operations
1t is fact however, that there has been
continued advance in the cost of living. and com
modities during the final quarter OF last year IN
creased at a higher rate Of per cent than ever
before. This rise in prices pnches all consumers
and operators alike, but the working people ar
more affected than any other class because
greater percentage of their income goes for ne
cessties.
The lumber trusts and the makers Of building
materials have outrageousy advanced prices and
it is natural that demands for increased wages
follow The local carpenters are willing accord
ing to the statement of their secretary as printed
in The Journal. to permit a thorough investiga-
ton of their grievances and it would be well Eos
those concerned to see if some adjustment, equt-
able all around, cannot be made If the employ
ing contractors pay more the cost is added to tn
construction OF houses which the purchasers Of
them must stand in the end. The rise of wages
has been general throughout the country but It
has not exceeded if indeed it has equalled th-
increase in the cost OF commodities, materials
and living expenses.
This advance in living expenses, indeed, has
been greater than we may imagine. The govern
ment has just issued report which shows that
in 1000 as compared with 1906 just one year pre-
vous, food as a whole increased in price 80 per
cent.
Under cloths and clothing, the increase Of the
two years compared was II per cent. in price.
In fuel and lighting the increase was o.5 per
cent.
In the price OF metals and implements the in
crease for 1900 over 1905 was Io4 per cent.
This is a surprising advance, and in this group
are tools, barbed wire, copper, lead, pig iron,
nails, silver tin plate and similar articles.
House furnishing goods as a whole increased
IL per cent
In group of miscellaneous commodities that
the government investigated there was an ad
vance, comparing the two years, OF "a per cen.
These facts explain one of the reasons why ihe
demands for higher wages have been so frequent
throughout the country.

that the railroad should use no pound rails in

heretofore has bought rails from the trust but
