Mr.. Skene says that if this system is to be ouiit

A PUBLIC OWNERSHIP PERIL.
Il Would Intreneh Corrupt Political
Bosses Permanently In Power.

Bosses Permanently In Power.
Referring to the recent announce
ment that 81, 146 persons are on the
payroll Of New York city, the Newark
Advertiser declares that in the event or
municipal ownership of street railways,
electric light and gas plants, ferries
and other public utilities the city en-
ployees would constitute a political
army that would make a change OF adj
ministration impossible.
It recalls the fact that 25,000 city
employees in Philadelphia kept Phlla-
delpha I'm the hands OF the corrupt
Durham machine for years and only a
great popular uprising finally over
threw the grafters.
"If Durham had had control of the
street railroads and other public utili-
ties in Philadelphia through municipal
ownership" it observes, "he could have
laughed at popular uprisings. he
would have been as absolute in his au-
thority as the car"
The point Is we'll taken.
In other cities the political situation
under public ownership would be as 1t
would in Philadelphia and New York.
Bosses may be overthrown and graft
ers turned out whenever the people
will it at present. Public ownership Of
all public utilities would end this. II
would bind the people hand and foot
and deliver them into the hands Of po-
litlcal grafters.-Long Branch N. j.

The San Francisco Chronicle is re-

Some years ago there was a private
telephone system which the paternal
government took over. After some
years trial the government has just
received a petition signed by 10000
persons, each Of whom pays at least
$50 year for telephone service, re-
questing that the telephone system be
sold to some private company, because
under a private company they got far
