municipal ownership as a reason against any ex-
tension Of public control Of public service monop-
oily and yet there are public monopolies con-
trolled by cities through elective officials which
are conducted satisfactorily at reasonable cost

Water Department
The question of municipal ownership is wide
one, beneficial under some circumstances and dis
astrous under others. It's success or failure ult-
mately would reside in the people themselves. If
the people alive TO their civic responsibilities
and duties they have in the election Of their office.
An extension Of municipal ownership moderate

mobiles parties on street cars, and par
ties on foot came to celebrate the one
great day for which Wilmington is
famous through the Eastern States.
From His EXcellency, the Governor,
down to the humblest laboring man, the
day was enjoyed and only too fast the
hours went and the splendid festival
came to an end.

were on our streets, strangers and ma

of the ordinary happened. Young and

Candidates for various positions in this State
next years are already being mentioned. and it IS
noticeable that men who are closely allied with
various corporate interests are in the front ranl,
OF those talked about. What change it would
be If here in Delaware we should have nominees
for public office who once in a while represent
the people as well private interests And when
the voters are aroused as they should be we shall
have this desirable condition. The people have
shown on several occasions their strength in
Delaware. The present local option campaign
has made it manifest that citizens, men and
women, can be aroused Should the same feeling
be displayed in ordinary political campaigns, what
an advance would be made in government
in Delaware. And it is more than probable that
an awakened public sentiment in Delaware will
lead to better, all around political conditions.

The most remarkable campaign of a generation
in Delaware will have come to close tomorrow.
when the voters cast their ballots at the local op-
ton election Judging publicly no question has
arisen which has so stirred the voters as has this
subject of the licensed saloon And one OF the
remarkable features is that the campaign has
been conducted on both sides by men who have
never been at the head Of regular political or
ganization So far as interesting voters is ,on-
cerned, the managers of the present fight have
TAR exceeded the most strenuous efforts of party
managers in a regular political campaign The
canvass has been lively and we have no doubt
that all concerned will be glad when it is ended.

The February number OF the Woman's
Home Companion contains compre-
hensive description Of Senator Beve-
ridges national bill TO abolish child
labor. The Senator tells how he worked
in logging camp at fourteen years Of
age, beginning before day break and
ending after dark, and the lessons he
learned there served as the foundation
for his present fight against the horror
OF child labor. After describing the
evil, he adds:
"But that is not the worst Of 1t. The
worst of it Is that pretty soon these chill
dren come to age What kind of citi-
zens do they makef London Hooligans!
That is the kind of citizens they make.
Each boy and girl of this kind that de-
velops into man or woman knows that
he or she is inferior to his fellows--in-
ferior in mind, body aud soul. They
not only feel it, they actually see 1t.
They feel that they have been robbed in
some way--not robbed in money or prop
erty, but robbed Of life, of health, rob.
bed of intellect, robbed Of spirit. And
In their undeyeloped brains. in their
weakened hearts, in their cramped and
deformed souls the fires of an unextin-
guishable wrath begin TO burn. They
go through life hating society, hating
everybody and everything. For, while
they do not knew much, they do know
that system of industry and state OF
society has worse than murdered them.
There is your material for anarchy. We
hear u good many speeches about the
danger of anarchists coming to this
country from Europe. The truth Is
that child labor Is creating some two
hundred thousand grown-up anarchists
of native American blood in this coun-
try every year"

and remove the local school taxes which
are the heaviest taxes levied usually.
This estimate is based on the sale OF
these lands at an average of $50 per acre,
over S6 less than the average oflhe sales
of 1905 and 1906 and hence is very con-
servative.
This increased permanent school fund
would be loaned to the people Of the
state and would tend to keep the rate OF
interest low and the loans as anyone
knows, are gilt edged and the people do
not object TO paying interest to them
selves, as it were. Then, after this pro-
vision has been complied with. there
would be still left Of the common school
lands in the state, almost one million
and half acres to be held for the bene.
ht of future generations till the time
when the best interests of the state
would demand the sale Of these lands.
In regard to the endowment lands tie
sale of one fourth OF the lands belonging
to each educational and charitable in
stitution would produce an annual in
come sufficient to reduce the appropria-
tions OF every legislature half million
dollars, and thus further relieve the tax
payers Of the state and would leave
three-fourths of these endowment lands
for the future. In addition TO all of
these benefits 1t would place upon the
tax lists of our sta,e and the various
counties almost three quarters OF a mil-
lion acres of land, which would be no
small help to the tax payers of the state.
The bill does not relate to the capitol
lands as they are not under the same
provisionI as other lands. | will say
that 1T is my opinion that there is no
other matter before the present legislas
ture that so vitally affects the interest OF
every tax payer and every boy and girl
il. the state of South'Dakota as does this
bill.

Badly ScaIded.

The little eighteen month old sor
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry G. Kuslel
was quite badly scalded last FRIDAY
morning, by spilling a pitcher O.
boiling milk over himself. The little
boy S mother bad set a pitcher OF
boiling milk on the table, thinking
it would be out of the reach of the
I'ttle child, who was playing about
The room. The child saw his smother
place the pitcher on thc table and
when his mother left the room tried
to get it. Finding be could not
reach it, he commenced pulling the
table cloth from the table, thus drag,
ging the pitcher nearer the edge.
When he got hold Of the pitcher,
and on account of it's being too
heavy for him, it tipped over, spill
ling the scalding not liquid over
him, badly burning his right arm
and the right side of his face and
body. Drs. Gerdes and Won Waldau
were Immediately called to attend
the Injured child and eased the little
sufferer as much as possible. At
present the little one is resting
easily and all hope that the little
child may speedily recover from it's
horrible accident.

Letter From Pierre.

Pierre, 4--We are all walking now,
the senate anti pass bill passed the house
late Saturday evening by vote Of 80 to
2; Carley of Clark and Golf of Brule
alone recording their votes against il.
AS the bills finally passed 1t was amend
ed to exempt newspaper transport tation
contracts and telegraph and telephone
linemen, in addition TO the exemptions
of the original bill. 1t is understood
that the senate will concur in the amend
ments today and that free passes In
South Dakota will be thing of the past.
There was strong movement to cut
out the emergency clause but the plan
seemed to be so inconsistent in view Of
the party position on the pass question
that Governor Crawford felt that it was
incombent upon him TO exert his in
fIuence to secure immediate operation
of the act; that the majority readily
agreed to subordinate their interests 10
his disinterested judgment.
OF the administration measures, the
anti.pass, apti-lobby, fellow servant,
limiting hours of railway employees and
the bill shifting the burden of proof in
railway cases have passed both houses,
and reciprocal demurrage and two cent
rate are through the senate.
TIE railroad people addressed a joint
session on Wednesday evening in oppo-
si,ion to reciprocal demurrage and the
two cent rate. They urged that the
first clause of the reciprocal demurrage
bill would inevitably be used as cloak
for rebating and asked that the Wiscon-
sin law for the distribution CT cars be
substituted for it. Otherwise they did
not object to the bill, but the two cent
rate they claimed was confiscatory and
ruinous The senate had previously
passed reciprocal demurrage and the
next day passed the two cent bill so
there was not much accomplished by
the meeting.
County option of the liquor traffic
went down 10 defeat on Friday after a
two hours debate in which more than a
dozen members joined. The debate
was conducted in good nature; the vote
standing so to 81.
The bill to provide fifteen hundred
dollars for the expenses of tie joint in
vestigation committee was killed In the
house after former Speaker Browne had
excoriated the committee and its gener.
al composition. No one spoke in de.
fense and the bill was indefinitely post,
poned, which probably ends the inves.
tigation. The general sentiment is thai
there is nor has been anything to inves
tigate.
No new bills Of especial interest have
come in since vacation; not but there Ii

a perfunctory nature, appropriations fo
deficiencies, amendments curing defect
