An Expert on City Lighting Plants.

Other things being equal, power and
light should be produced with greatest
economy by private enterprise rather
than by changing municipal govern
ments whose available financial re,
sources and general business aggres-
sivenesS are more limited.
The experiment of municipal owner
ship of lighting properties which has
now been quite extensively made has
not proved actually successful. Some
few municipality operated plants have
produced current continuously at COM
paratively low cost, but in most cases
the properties have ultimately fallen
through political changes into the
hands of incompctents, with disastrous
results. In some instances honest man
agement has been maintained, but such
vital elements as depreciation have
been wholly unprovided for during the
period of apparently successful opera
ton, resulting in impaired service and
In greatly increased operating costs
and in some cases in the abandonment
of plants.-JudsOn H. Boughton in En-

a feeling of hostility between public

bruises falling to the lot of some
who came in the way of the NOV

During last week our under

tee of the London county council shows
that the loss on the steamboat service
amounts to $6S5,OOO for the three years
during which it has been operated by
the council. That municipal methods
of operation are not satisfactory is
shown by the fact that, while 3,693.912
passengers were carried the first year,
the number dropped to 3,217.5S in
1906 and 2,31S447 in 1907. Several of

they met. Each meeting grew
more pleasant and at last on the
9th day of the pleasant month of
September, 1857, the blue-eyed
youth led to the altar his fair
young bride. A short distance
west of the Painter Creek the
groom cleared a spot in the vast

Bryan Optimistic.
BY LEO.

peerless" was in an optimistic
mood. He generally is; but OF
that occasion was more so thar
usual. The speaker had before
him big crowd of enthusiastic
admirers, people of all politica
parties, probably, for the Repub
licans, as we'll as the Democrats
have a cordial admiration for the
good-natured and fluent Bryan,
Having such a throng to greet
him the speaker, naturally en-
ough, was optimistic visionary
almost. He saw what others fail
to behold, for the images from
his subconsciousness loomed up
before him as real objective re-
alities. For instance, he beheld
and gave utterance to the idea of
united Democracy and a divid-
ed Republicanism, as if it was all
veritable fact. A strong delus-
ion, indeed, and upon this he built
his hope, his strong faith, in the
triumph of Democracy, under his
lead, next autumn.
1t might have some influence
to modify his optimism if he saw
fit to peruse the Bryan map pub
lished in the N. Y. World. The
map shows what states Bryan
can be sure of, and the greater
number of states certain to go a.
gainst him. The Bryan terrific
ry according to the Democratic
World" is a very small fraction
of the great country that wants
not Bryan to rule the land.
In fact, the leading newspapers
of his own party on east deplore
the perpetual candidacy Of Bry-
an, and are out for some other
leader for 1908. And yet, Bryan
conjures up from his inner con-
sciousness a united Democracy to
vote him into the presidency this
fall.
AS to a divided Republicanism
there is some basis for the vision.
We have the stand-patters and
the progressives; but the Repub-
licans, though indulging in de-
bates with each other before the
election, as is proper enough, as
it keeps the party from rusting
in inaction; but when it comes to
voting the Republicans bury their
differences and cast their vote
for the party's nominee. Not
much hope for Bryan in a divided
Republican party.
1t looked, a little while ago, as
if the Republicans in Ohio were
hopelessly divided, but see how
the state at the late primary vo-
ted solid for Taft. Where are
our gallant senators now? Not
on top, sure; but likely enough,
when the campaign begins our
brilliant Senator Foraker will be
found on the stump making, pow
erful speeches in behalf of the
Chicago nominee. Any way,
even if he will sulk gloomily in
his tent, the battle will evolve
other great warriors.
It is not strange that Bryan is
optimistic. He is naturally so.
He must have inherited his san
guine temperament from his VI
vacious Irish ancestry. In addl-
tion to this favorable heredlty,
his environment comes to his aid.
For nearly twelve years he has
been going up and down this
great country making speeches
and never fails to secure a large
audience and an ample money
remuneration. The people that
throng his meetings are Of all
political parties. The Republl-
cans have a warm regard 1or the
