OPPOSITION PRESENT, TOO
Phoebe Cousins One of Those Against
the Cold Water People.

Representative Weber was in
charge of the prohibition speakers be-
fore the house committee, and Robert
Crane led the argument against the
Weber bin. In his opening speech
Weber stated that liquor is RESPONSE
BILE for the condition Of so per cent. of
the persons in the jail, workhouse and
insane hospital of the District, and
after reviewing the income from liquor
licenses explained that it falls more
than $4,000 short every year Of main
tanning the institutions which he said
liquor makes necessary.
In support of his declaration that
prohibition had been a failure wherever
it was tried Robert Crane quoted from
statements of Bishop Henry c. Potter,
the Protestant Episcopal bishop of New
York The mention of Bishop Potter's
name called forth derisive laughter,
followed by kissing from the temper
ance advocates in the committee room.
Crane denounced the action of the pro-
hibtion delegation, and stated that
Neal Dow. the Maine prohibition lead
err. admitted the week before his death
that he had been on the wrong track
all through his long fight for prohibit
ton
IT'S not true" practically all the
white ribboners in the room exclaimed,
jumping to their feet and repeating
tncir denials again and again.
Miss Phoebe Cousins was among tho
speakers who opposed prohibition leg
islation for the District. She de-
nounced thetemperance advocates who
/ Kissed the name of Bishop Potter, and
/ said such intolerance was q sign OF
Observation-Disclosures Miss Cousins said
her opposition to prohibition is due to

states. where she found that the law
against liquor selling resulted in I'M

In reply to the claim Of prohibition

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness IS caused by an infaned con.

WHAT MONROE
HAS DONE
The City of Brownsville Could
Do and More
a Small Louisiana Town Has Carried
Out Remarkable Program for the
Benefit Of Its People and
Property Owners.

Municipal ownership of public
utilities is now an established tact
in at least one town in America.
1t is not a large town, but It has
done more toward putting the
theory of municipal ownership to
a practical test than has been ac-
complished at any place this side
of Glasgow on the east or New
Zealand on the west.
It has not alone entered the or
binary fields of supplying light and
water. nor has it even stopped at
street railway operation and owner
ship. In addition to all these, it
has a municipality owned bridge
free BRIDGE" it owns its schools
and supports them independent OF
state or county, and it owns sum-
mer garden and a municipal race
track.
Monroe is the name of this
American experimenrer in New
Zealand ways. It is Louisiana
town which had less than 5000
inhabitants according to the census
of 1900; still it has not hesitated to
try the most extraordinary theories
of municipal government. Further
than that, it has successfully car
ried out or is now carrying out the
most radical of these attempts and
has passed the stage of experiment
fation.
Conservative property owners
when the plan of municipalizing
the public utilities first became APP
Dsreut to them threw up their
hands and protested that they
would be ruined. They even offer
ed to sell out their holdings in
Monroe and gave out that they
would leave the town and never
come back.
Not that these conservatives
recognized the full import of the
municipal ownership campaign
from the first, for had they, it IS
not unlikely that they would have
carried their threats into execution.
As it it, they have lived to see
sitopian dreams become material
facts.
Property has advanced in value
all about the town of Monroe, and
sIuce those who were obstruction
lists at the beginning were, with
hardly an exception, heavy prop
erty owners the upward tendency
of values has been to their prin
cipal benefit. Some of them, II
fact. have become converted
through this means to the mum
cipal ownership theory.
With such pronounced opposition
as was at first encountered it natu
rally follows that the municipa
owuerships advocates at Monro
had a strong leader, else defea
would have been certain. Tha
leader was A. a. Forsythe, mayo
of the town.
Mayor Forsythe was elected o
a platform calling for public in
wovements and the modernizin
of Monroe.
