Monroe has distanced all of the cities
of America in the matter OF mun1pical
ownership Of public utilities. Three
years ago the first car on the first NIT
nicipality owned and operated electric
street railway of the United States was
run over the Monroe municipal street
railway. Since that time the system has
been in successful and profitable opera
ton, giving universal satisfaction and
being the pride and boast of every Cit
zen. In addition to the street railway,
Monroe owns and operates its water and
light plant. sewerage system, free traffic

market, the finest in the State, and
maintains its public schools independent

pended in the education Of the children
To Mayor A. A. Forsythe more than
to any other man or set of men is due
the growth and consummation of mu-
nicipal ownership in Monroe. He went
into office in 1903 on a platform of pub

State Constitution was adopted in which
an act was Incorporated authorizing mil

Iprovements. and under and through his

the State to take advantage of that por-

$I55 900 was voted Up to this time the
only public utilities enjoyed were water
and lights under private ownership he
service was indifferent, but the franchise
paid handsomely, and here began the
campaign for municipal ownership. The
policy of the Mayor is to use the net

and to add other utilities with the ult1-
mate end in view, when all the needed
institutions are acquired, to reduce the
cost to consumers to the minimum, the

President Taft has been the world

Oh, to be lost i'll the wind and sun,
To be one with the wind and stream,
With never a care while the waters run,
With never a thought in my dream
To be part of the robins lifting sell
And a part of the bobolink's rhyme,
Lying close to the sly thrush singing
alone
And Tapped in the cricket's crime!
Oh, to live with these beautiful ones.
With the lust and the glory of IN III.
Lost in the circuit of springtime suns
To lie as the snake lies, content II the

To drift as the couds drift effortless

Glad of the power that drives them on

The Commoner: The language en-

that his vote against the income tax
when it was before the court was the
expression of a personal opinion rather
than a judicial decision.

JUDGE SORELLE AND THE PRO
HIBTTTON LAW

Mansfield Journal: In the matter OF
the enforcement of the prohibition law
in dry parishes Judge Sorelle wisely
takes the position assumed by several
other of the district judges of the State,
and which position has met the unquali-
fed approval of public sentiment, and
that is that the sale of any kind of sub
stitutes or subterfuges is, i'll spirit at
least, violation of the prohibition law,
and the permission of such sales multi
fes public sentiment and sets at naught
the wishes of the people. This view OF
the question is not only sound law but
is certainly in keeping with the spirit OF
democratic doctrine, that the majority
shall rule, and there is no sort of JUS
tice in attempting to override the wishes
of the majority in a prohibition parish
by the sale of forbidden beverage trl-
der an assumed name With Judge So

Soto. Sabine and Vernon will be for
