The South Passes NV England.

The interesting fact is developed by
"A buIletin on ssPower Employed In
Manufacturers, issued by the Census
Bureau that the South out ranks
Mew England. The report sets out
that the total amount Of power en-
ployed in manufacturers at the close
ID the calendar year 1904 was A.
I64l 544 horsepower. To this amount
sxteam engines contributed 1O,S2S,llI
Horsepower, or 1879 per cent; water
wheels, 1919 horsepower, or
T1.3 per cent. electric power, owned
Dr rented, 1,592,483 horsepower, or
100 per cent; gas OF gasoline engines
2S9;514 horsepower or 2 per cent;
an other kinds Of power 2S3,467
horsepower or 1.9 per cent.
The important part of this report
m that section showing how this pow.
er was distributed in geographical di-
visions. The Middle States ranked
first in the amount of power, report
ing 5,00O,367 horsepower. The Cen
trial States were second with 4,077,-
ss29B horsepower; the Southern States
third with 2,3S6,330; the New Eng
land States, fourth with 2,254,264;
the Pacific States fifth with 474,397,
and the Western States last with AS,
g37. Perhaps the most striking fact
revealed by these figures is that the
Southern States reported more power
than New England. This has not hap
pened before in the history Of the
country. In this connection it is in
aeresting to note hat the develop
znent In the Southern States has been
IN the utilization of steam-power. In
the South 97.4 per cent. of the pow.
er was derived from steam and g.
per cent. from water, but in New

Washington, March 5.--Consider-

part of men who claimed to be priv

said they were detectives approached
and attempted 70 place him under ar

The sergeant-at-arms of the house,
upon being informed of the condition

Unfortunate, indeed. will 1t be, II
the petty feud between the board of
public works and the sewer depart
ment brings permanent injury to the
city sewer system. 1t has been less
than two months since the sewer in
spector was compelled to appeal to
Mayor Yeiser for assistance, which
was refused him by the chairman of
the board of public works. He re-
quired oil and waste for the engine
at the pumping station, but the chair
man, who is invested with discre-
ton between meetings of the board,
declined to recognize the sewer In
spector. At that time the engine ami
pump were going day and night to
keep the water from backing up in
the sewers and filing al the cellars
in Paducah. The urgency of the mat
ter was manifested when Mayor Yei-
ser broke a RUE and promptly Issued
a requisition, saying that he could
not afford to let a departmental mis-
understanding bring hardship to the
citizens. Had the pump stopped, the
damage and suffering would nave
been inestimable. Now the sewer in
spector has appealed ito the generaI
council, and we trust the board of
public works will heed the councils
instructions We cannot believe the
boards conduct is dictated by sore
ness at Judge Reeds decision that
the general council and not the board
of public works has authority to APP
point the inspector. 3.

is the familiar quotation, Labor Is
Its Own Reward"
Mr. Keuhnle earned s cents
through honest toll by digging tde
first shovelfuls OF earth when the
paving operations on Atlantic avenue
were started, about month ago. He
was on the job promptly. In order
not to be late. ne arrived on the scene
in a big automobile. AS none OF his
fellow laborers owned automobiles
they walked or came by trolley.
This made no difference to Mr..
Keuhnle, who. throwing aside his
fur-lined overcoat called for a
shovel. and went to work while a
crowd of admiring friends cneered.
After half an hour Mr.. Keuhnle had
made a great hole in the street. and
then he gracefully retired from the
scene of action nursing two badly
blistered hands.

other claimants to the Servian

members of the Greek Orthodox st.

King Stephen has taken oaths here
within the last three months as rul-

the throne have been reviewed and
sanctioned by some ecclesiastical au-

faith in Stephen declare that he is not
depending upon assassination or

He is simply awaiting the time when
a change of temper of the people who
are now under Peters rule will force

Then he will go to Servia and place
himself at the head of the people.

near approximating the number of

they were very many. In his nome
he was uncommonly kind, husband
and a father who ruled his little
household by the magic wand of
love, rather than by the scepter Of

across his pathway, but out of the
clouds he ever smiled, and into the
sunlight he came again with new

NJ. 0. I'M LONDON.

The control of the London county
council has been taken away from
the municipal ownerftes. The tax
payers nave revolted against the the
cries and have overcome them. They
have put up for eighteen years with
an administration which, in sthe
name OF progress" mas steadily in
creased taxes and Indebtedness with
out comforting corresponding bene-
fits. The last project of the pro
gressives" was to spend 100000
600 In a grand electrification scheme
and to drive private enterprise out
of the electrical business. That was
more than could be endured. If the
scheme were to be put through It
would mean the utter loss OF indi-
vidual Initiative in what is, compar-
atively speaking, a new field. 1t
would mean bad service to the pub
lie through the preservation of anti
quated methods. A municipality has
not the courage of an individual. 1t
does not throw obsolete machinery
on the scrap heap to put in new ma
chimney and better the service. SO the
taxpayers vetoed the project and
turned out the men who were be-
hind 1t.
Municipal ownership theories have
been given fair trial in the worlds
greatest city. They have been cal
ried to the delightful point of mu-
nicipal billiards and dominoes. The
taxpayers might have stood that, but
they could not stand the reckless
extravaganza which prevailed in
nearly every department of local
government. They could not endure
the poor business methods which
characterized every undertaking the
county council entered upon. 1t had
no business ability. 1t could not make
Its enterprises meet the cost Of op-
Grafton, where private management
would nave made a profit.
In the attempt to show that II was
able to make both ends meet, the
county council has had to resort to
curious tricks of bookkeeping. 1t has
tried to hide from the public its ina
bility to manage commercial under
takings. In London and in Other
English cities the high standard of
integrity of municipal government
has been lowered through the cor
rupting influence of municipal own
ership. Municipal governments which
used to be able to discharge with
ability and without reproach the
simpler civic duties of former days
are nav betraying incapacity and are
no longer trusted.
1t is fortunate that the decline of
ownership In England has
begun before American cities mad
committed themselves. They have no
excuse now for initiating the excess
es into which English municipalities
have plunged and are now begin
ming to repent of.-Chicago Tribune.

which padded out" the account in
yesterdays SUN CT the municipal
election in London last Saturday GER
tainly must be prompt and efficient
to have gotten up Its figures so
quickly after the election; for all the
Sunday papers always saving and
excepting those published in Padu-
cam contained reports of the London
election identical in substance to
that published by THE SUN Monday
evening. Those papers using the
same news service as THE SUN had
the same story, word for word. The
election occurred Saturday; the
count was made Saturday night, and
reports, gathered from every pre-
cinct in London, were sent to Amer
lea at what must have been midnight
or after. Then, 1t seems, that the
bureau" got the news off the cable

all the papers in the United States.
both associated press and Scripps-Mc-
Rae, and they had It printed in their
papers three hours after It came
across, the water And, if the news
was padded" by bureau, the
truth has not yet come out; for
those papers which deal with news
are still publishing the same ac-
count; and those which deal with
views exclusively, are doing nothing
but frothing at the mouth. That "bu-
|reau" certainly is swift-swifter
than Paducah Sunday papers; for,
although THE SUN had an article
Saturday afternoon on the progress
of the election that day, the people
of Paducah had to walt until Mon
day evening to learn from THE SUN
the result of the election.
