If government ownership of public utili-
ties is to be even an incidental issue in
the next campaign, the opponents Of that
policy will find it easy to obtain a wealth
of facts and figures wherewith TO con-
found the theories of the other side At
this time there seems TO be little or no
reason 10 believe that the question will
figure at all, because it is certain that
the Democratic convention, even il it
dominates Mr. Bryan. will not give him a
public ownership platform to stand on.
But the subject is one concerning which
the American people should be informed,
and they may find much food for thought
in developments of the recent past
Closely following the defeat of the
municipal ownership forces in Chicago
comes the news that in framing a new
charter for Wheeling the West Virginia
legislature eliminated clause giving the
city the right to own and operate an
electric light plant, and all advices agree
that the reason for this action was the
absolute failure Of the municipal gas plant,
which has been in existence TN Wheeling

resulting from the operation Of the estab-
lishment Every time the city admins
tration changes there is a change in the
management of the plant" says a dis
patch to The Washington Herald. and as
result men have been placed in charge
who knew nothing about such works. -
The property has been allowed to de-
teriorate. An average OF $500 per year
has been lost since 1901 because of a leak
in one Of the tanks. which the city au-
thorities have made no effort TO repair
It is the old, old story of political manipu-
la.ions, ineficiency, and ever-increasing
burdens on the taxpayers. Now an effort
is 10 be made 10 sell the plant TO a private
corporation.

DELAWARE DIVORCE REFORM.
First State to Adopt Suggestions of
National Congress.

From the Baltimore American.
Delaware is the first state TO adopt
some of the more important reforms in
divorce procedure recommended by the
National Divorce Congress. Star-chamber
hearings will no longer be tolerated there.
The trial must take place in public The
argument in favor Of this change was
that publicity was the most effective pre-
ventive of collision between the parties.
while at the same time it acted I'm many
cases as a deterrent against the perma-
nent separation Of married couples. There
Is undoubted force in the claim that with
compulsory hearings IN open court the
tendency to seek divorce on trivial
grounds will be checked, and that there
will be a greater effort at forgiveness and
reconciliation.
Another forward step taken by the little
Diamond State is 10 prevent the granting
OF final decree until the lapse of one
year after the decision of the court.
This safeguard against fraud is also one
OF the reforms urged by the divorce con-
gress. The principle has been applied in
New York for a number of years, though
with shorter time limit
Divorce litigation in Delaware and the
matrimonial statistics in general will be
watched with interest from now on Deia-
ware has the proud distinction Of leading
in the first practical steps toward the
eradication OF the more glazing divorce
evils.

BLIND MR.. DALzELL.
Even He Has been Impressed by Re-
vision Sentiment

From the Pittsburg Post
It is significant Of the strength ofsthe
sentiment throughout the country in favor
of tariff revision that it has made an I'm
preston upon such blind standpatter as
Congressman John DalzeH Personally. -
he is quoted as saying. 4 do not see any
reason for revising the tariff. It seems TO
me that law which has resulted In such
prosperity should be left alone But !
realize that there is a sentiment in some
parts of the country favoring a revision
Of the schedules and / admit that the
sentiment is entitled TO some recognition.
Consequently, I believe that We should
take up The subject Immediately after the
next President has taken his seat"
Il has been a surprise 70 those who
know Sir. DalzelI well and who recognize
his intelligence and ability that he should
have permitted narrow partisanship to
blind him so completely IN this matter of
tariff revision. Even in this interview he
asserts that he sees no need for such re-
vision, but thinks something ought 10 be
done in this line as a concession 10 the
strong, popular sentiment on the subject
However. he would postpone any action
for two OF more, likely three. years. until
diteT the next PRESIDENT taxes MS seat
Should Cannon, Dalzell. and the other
standpatters then be in control Of the
House OF Representatives. we can imagine
how little the revision they would sane
ton would amount 10. President ROose-
welt wanted a revision of the tariff after
hts election in 1904. but the standpatters
served notice that they would defeat his
railroad legislation unless he kept mis-
hands of the tariff If the next Presi-
dent should be a Republican. they might
easily repeat this performance.
Mr.. Dalzeli Is content that the people Of
this country shall suffer from the burden
OF an unnecessarily high tariff for years
to come. His own constituents are to-
day complaining that they are compelled
TO pay the highest prices for the neCes-
sartes Of life. while their incomes have
not proportionately increased. And yet he
does not think they should be given any
relief. Does Mr. Dalzen represent his
200. 900 constituents or himself? Unless Mr..
Dalzell permits a ray Of light from the
popular sentiment Of this country to pene-
trate his partisan darkness. he may be re-
tired 10 private life. as he should be.

THE aCoMICa SUPPLEMENT-.
Editor Bok Declares II Has sieretFi-
efous Effect on Children.


From the Ladies Home Journal
The average parent does not seem 10
realize the absolute injury that he does 70
his children by the admission into his
home OF the sO-called comic supple
ments. issued with the average modern
Sunday newspaper Il is sad enough
when the parent himself wastes his time
over the so-called funnyisms and dis
torted arr @ which these supplements
cOntein. But, at least. he is supposed 10
have the intelligence TO give the poor
stun the low relative place TO which. If
liz has any place at all. II Is entitled. But
the child cannot do this, He accepts the
slang 10 which the low Wit IS eOucned as
current speech. adopts it. and uses It as
his own. He accepts the meaningless wit
as his idea Of humOr. and receives the
distorted figures and badi y-drawu pictures
as his conception Of art So. IN language.
in literature, and in art. he receives his
FIRST ideas at the most impressiOnable part
Of his life from these hideous American
plaques.
Does the average father fully realize
this? Does he realize the absolutely false
note that he strikes in this way on the
mind and in the character OF his own
cAliu nj the DesinninE OF us uIef r OF II
must not be forgotten that tn their spirit
conception. writing. and art there Is not
a single spark Of sincerity or honest effort
in-these pages The whole thing Is false,
born Of the most uncompromising spirit
Of commercialism, and issued without re-
gard to any principle higher than to sell
the paper" We may choose 10 excuse
these supplements as 1eeting in their
influence, and on the ground that they
'amuse the children" who forget them
But We need only look back 10 our own
childhood and quickly prove TO ourselves
the untruth Of such an argument Child
hood influences are tremendously potent;
impressions made upon US in the first
fifteen years Of our lives are practically
inefaceable II they were otherwise, why
do we take 50 much pains IN training our
children?
Childhood memories are not fieeting:
they are permanent: and Ia that very
fact lies the incalcuiable injury Of these
supplements. Few things latterly de-
vised by the mind Of man are likely to
prove so pernicious TO the future ideas Of
our children as these modern despOilers
Of the youthful mind. II is indeed a pity
when a parent so far fOrgets the right
proportion Of things as to allow his child
initial ideas 70 be formed or influenced by
a literature so low and an art so false.
