MUN|C|PAL PALUNACY,
By JOHN KHNDRIck BANGS.

The London county council has tried
IN vain TO sell or lease the municipal
owned Thames steamboats,. Now, II
our old friend Sir Thomas Upton will
only buy one Of them and bring II over
here as challenger for the Americas
cup, will he not kill two birds with
one stone, earning the everlasting graf
itude Of the London taxpayer and win
ming a dukedom by restoring the covet-
ed trophy 10 the mistress Of the seas?
A distinguished traveller has noted
that every great city has a special
aroma Of It's own. This was the one
best bet In New York short while
ago when the drivers OF the city gar
bage wagons went on strike, leaving
the city with a flavor 80 high that Il
made the Flatiron building look like
an artesian well by contrast.
The city OF Wheeling, w. Va, uses
natural gas for fuel I'm Its retorts. So
do most writer's on the subject OF mu-
nicipal lighting plants when anybody
says that their product Is no light mat.
ter
When your alderman buttonholes you
at busy moment and tries to talk to
you about the desirability OF municipal
ownership OF electric lighting plants,
ask him quietly what under the pro-
posed system the output In kilowatts
per 81 I'm wages Will be. III he asks
you why you wish to know. tell him
that as an owner Of horsepower you
are interested in ergs. In nine cases
out OF ten he will suddenly remember
a previous engagement and vanish.
When the city of Boston went into
harvested $50 tons at n cost Of $50 per
ton. This didn't include the value Of
the water either. Is II any wonder
with these figures In mind that tho
hot Scotch Is a more popular beverage
at the Hub than the absinth frappe
and that the Athens Of America has
given the Icy eye to public ownership
Bcbemes2
We do not like to differ with q dis
statesman, especially when
he Is an authority concerning that OF
which he speaks, but we demur to
Hon. Timothy ID. Sullivan's prophecy
when he says, "Glve us municipal own
ership In New York and Gabriel will
find Tammany ruling the city when he
blows the wakeup horn" We have an
abiding faith that In such an emergen-
cy the people will wake up long before
Gabriel begins to honk.
We do not credit the rumor that the
municipal ownership advocates of Mar
ion, Ind, have tried to secure the ex-
clusion of Rudyard Klpling's novel
"The Light That Failed" from the pub
lie library on the score OF offensive
craftsmanship

married Among the fishing communi-

AIN GOD WE TRUST"
President Does Not Approve of In
scripton BEING on Coin.


scription Being on Coin.
Washington, Nov. 14.-In answer to
one of the numerous protests that have
been received at the white house
against the new gold coin which has
been coined without the words, In
God We Trust" President Roosevelt
has written Z letter which he has
made public. 1t is as follows
When the question of the new coin
came up We looked into the law and
found there no warrant therein for
putting In God We Trust on the
coins. AS it was custom, although
without legal warrant, it has grown
up. However, I might feel at liberty
to keep the inscription had approved
Of it's being On coinage, but as | did
not approve Of it / did not direct it
should again be put on. OF course
the matter of law is absolutely In the
hands Of congress. and any direction
congress may take in the matter will
be Immediately o5eyed. At present.
as | said. there Is no warrant in law
for the inscription" My own feeling
in the matter is due to the very firna
conviction that to put such motto on
coins or to use it in any kindred man
ner, not only does no good, but do s
positive harm. and has the effect of
1rreverence, which comes dangerously
near sacrilege.'

salty letter Hon. w. d. Nesbit of the
Alabama railroad commission calls on
President Smith of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad to enlighten the pub
lie on what is charged to Operating
expenses" He intimated that earn
ings that should be credited as such
are placed to his account so as to
make poor showing In returns Mr.
Nesbt had pointed out that the earn
ing sheet showed increases for last
year of over $5.0o0,0O0.
Mr.. Smith said that 90 per cent Of
this went to operating expenses. Mr.
Nesbit wants to know if everything
spent is thus accounted for He also
asks why it is shat Georgia passengers
are carried by the Atlanta and West
Point for 2 cents a mile, and the rate
raised to 3 cents when the line is
crossed. He also asked the reason
for the great raise in freight rates
after the same lire Is crossed.
