Russianizinn America.

The ordinary citizen whose relations
with the postoffice are confined to send
ing letters ana an occasional paper and
to receiving such mail as the postoffice
authorities consider 1t proper for him
to receive is unlikely to realize how
oppressive this branch of our govern
ment may be.
We regard with amused contempt
the efforts of the Russian bureaucracy
to keep the people In ignorance by
blackening out from foreign papers
such paragraphs as Its officials regard
as likely to be injurious. But most of
us are not aware that a similar system
is rclentlcssly carried on by our own
bureaucracy. the only difference being
that an issue which Offends in-a single
paragraph or advertisement Is 'rct6rn-
ed in toto to the publisher. OF the two
methods the Russian is the more intel
llgent and the less oppressive.

A SEARCHING ANALYSIS.
Municipal Ownership Beautiful In
Theory, but Practically Bid For
Political Graft.

Political Graft.
Experience has proved that the agita-
ton for municipal ownership is usual
ly in charge of group of men who
are looking for personal profit. When
the plant or plants finally get under
municipal control these men are vir-
tually the proprictors. They dictate
who shall have positions. and they
usually see to 1t that they receive a
good return in either the coin of the
realm or something else of value for
every position they give out They are
intent upon squeezing every dollar they
can out of the plant.
Where a company or the individual
gives much attention to the minutiae
of Il plant, the saving of a few pennies
or a few dimes or a few dollars here
or there, under municipal control the
plants are run in slipshod manner.
The engineers, placed in their posi-
tiOnS more because of their political
prestige than because of any ability
they may possess, sit around and talk
politics when the machinery is badly
in need of their attention. But 1t is
politics and not attention to duty and
faithfulncSs that keeps them in their
positions, 50 they give more attention
to politics than they do to their duties.
The management of the plant usual
ly devolves upon a committee of the
town council. Right here is where the
graft bacteria gets loose and begins to
cause havoc. Some men Will stand
for election to council with no other
thought in view than getting their
bands on the light plant. They have
some favorites they wish to place in
office. and they likewise have plan
whereby they can squeeze the bust
ness so that many golden drops will
fall into their own pockets.
Municipal ownership has been proved
to be impractical In this country. Be
side disCouraeing private enterprise, 1t
accompliShcS no real good, but eventu-
ally becomes corrupt sore In the body
polite that taints everything that
touches 1t. In theory the proposition
IS a most attractive one, but when 1t
comes to working 1t out In practice in
Superable obstacles rear themselves in
its pathway, and 1t is not long before
ruin and finally dissolution come

Novel Tree Preservation.

\ subterranean tree may be seen In
front of the ElmhurSt grounds In
Kansas City. 1t IS Il giant elm that
grew in the primeval forest before
Kansas City arrived. When the street
was graded and fill of six or eight
feet made on the adjoining property
it was decided to save this fine old
forest tree. Therefore an areaway OF
brick was built around 1t and an iron
grating inserted at the top. SO the old
tree still stands at lis former level. but
amid entirely different surroundings
from the days when the forest was
unbroken
