Why This Fear OF a Municipal Own
ershlp Campaign Of Education?

To the Editor OF the Times: The
Incorporate and abusive language
with which a certain Detroit paper
denounced the advocates OF NUM-
cipal ownership yesterday afternoon
shows that there Is no sound and
sensible reason why the city OF De-
troit should not keep and control It's
own highways.
That there are many gentlemen on
the hins-Breitmeyer committee
OF so" who are sincerely DESTROYS OF
serving their fellow citizens no one
can deny But there has been no
pretense on the part OF anyone that
there is the remotest possibility or
that committees attempting TO settle
the street car problem" on the basis
OF public ownership. On the contrary
the fact that the newspaper. which
speaks for the committee throws a
fit at the mere possibility OF an educa-
tioral campaign for municipal owner
ship proves that the sole purpose OF
those who are running this twenty
five-million-dollar bunco game was to
head off a municipal ownership move
ment.
1t Is stupidity for any one 10 talk
about favorable settlement"-ex-
cept favorable To the ID. u. Ron a
franchise basis. No franchise will be
accepted by the ID. L. X. unless IL In
sures profit TO the private corpora
ton. And whether that profit be large
or small. II must all come out Of the
stockholders in the public corporation
0he city, which is the other party
TO the contract.
II is waste OF time and energy
TO palter and potter over the details
of any further surrender OF public
property to private individuals. Pri-
vate ownership and control of public
utilities Is always and necessarily ac'
companied by continual jangling anu
quarreling over rates and service. The
street car problem In Detroit will
never be settled until the people OF
Detroit get the kind OF service that
they want, and pay for what they
get--and no more. This can only be
brought about by public ownership.

Elderly Colonel Advocates Passage
of Most Stringent Law.

The crash of cannon turned the old
colonels thoughts toward death.
II know of three millionaire septua-
genarian widowers," he said, gloomily.
whose sons killed them because they
were about to marry young girls of
20 or so. 1t is very dangerous thing
for rich old man to marry young
girl.
Were | legislator, I'd propose a
new law, law to protect Gobsa Code
or Potter Roxe, with their rs years.
their millions and their vigilant, mid
dle-aged, grasping sons and daughters,
from the peril of wedding some beau
tiful creature of IS or 10 summers.
This law should say simply that no
man over 65. If he married a woman
more than Is years younger than him
self, could leave his wife cent of his
property nor could he-7-lest in his life
time he make transfers to her-handle
after h!t marriage any part of his es-
tate save only the income"
The colonel chuckled rather sadly.
Such a law" he said, would do
much to prevent so many pretty girls
from falling in love with us grizzled
tottering capitalists"

SOIL BENEFITED
BY ALFALFA CROP
Three or Four Cuttings During
Season Enriches 1t.

When a plant furnishes an abundant
crop, such as alfalfa, with three or
four cutting during single season, it
is but natural to think that it will
greatly exhaust the soil. Nothing is
more erroneous. Instead of taking
strength away from the soy it puts
more into it; instead of exhausting it,
the fertility is increased. The pene'
trating powers of alfalfa roots are
well known The roots are constantly
growing and decaying, thus adding to
the 'humus" of the soil. The strongest
point in favor of alfalfa as soil i'm
proven 1t it's remarkable nitrogen
gathering ability. The roots of al
falfa are full of the small nitrogen
tubercles which represent bottled up
vitality to plant life and it has been
proven by frequent experiments that
increased yields were the rule when
paintings of any kind of crops had
been made on ground infected with nj
trogen bacteria.
Under these circumstances the
spread of Alfalfa fever" Is no wonder,
With splendid crops of highest priced
hay on top of the ground, with the
roots working as perfectly natural fer
tilizers under the ground, farmers can
do nothing better than to plant alfalfa.
The truth of this statement may be
realized and verified if one but takes
time to look up statistics and reads
about the marvellous increase in the
IF alfalfa In al
the acres sown to alfalfa increased
from approximately $4,000 acres in
1891 to more than $4,000 acres in
1907. 1t is safe to say that since then
the acreage has increased in proper
ton, and other states are falling in
