Our Philippine Problem.

Our record in dealing with Cubs
shows that it is idle to say that the
stars and stripes must never be lower
ed. flag should stand for principle
and not be a fetch. The flag was
planted in the Philippines for signal
that the infamous Spanish sway in
those islands must end 1t may have
been sad business for us, but to haul
down the flag before the abolition of
miSrule there would be shameful bust
ness.
The apparent Indifference of the
American people as to Philippine af
fairs probably does not mean that
they are tired and don't care either
way. The flag is there, and the reason
for putting it there originally still
holds. Gradually the public has learned
to consider the Philippines an Ameri
can possession. But when the fiae
shall be hauled down because there is
no longer an American burden to be
borne in that quarter, no longer 6

American symbol, the stars ant
stripes can retire to the mainland will

Government by Commission.

Objections to a commission to han
die the tariff problem do not necessari-
ly spring from doubt as to the proprie-
ty of the commission in this special
case. The tariff is an intricate matter,
and at the present time it is a vital
ona But the special commission habit
is growing, and the functions Of gov
ernment are thought by some to be in
danger of a division, which will weak
en- efficiency. The people must con-
tinue to hold their elected representa-
tives accountable and are already pay
ing one body of men to look after the
ways and means of running the state.
A public utilities commission is ex-
pected to aid the executive in work
already provided for by law. 1t is an
other hand at the machine. But if we
must have special, commissions to
grapple with the ordinary problems Of
legislation it looks like a confession
Of weakness in our system. The COM
mission habit may be bad habit to
encourage.

Evolution of the peacemaker.

Recently Berlin apprised the world
in no uncertain tones that Germany is
interested in the Balkan question. Evi-
IDENTIFY the kaiser has learned through
his little tilt with the public that it is
better by long odds to say strong
thing occasionally than to keep feed
ing out sensations. In all his utter
ances on international affairs the Ger
man emperor has been consistent with
the old doctrine of the realm that a
nation can have peace only when it
can command respect. That was when
Germany saw possible enemies in its
continental neighbors.
Now when the kaiser speaks for
Germany as world power there is in
his tones the same old ring of ;issur-
ance that the nation is strong enough
to command respect Once the power
behind the imperial frown or threat
was a big army Now it is big army
plus a big navy. Once the cry of the
would be peacemaker of Europe was
for big navy; then it was for a big
ger navy. Now the same lips demand
the biggest navy in order that all the
world shall respect Germany's will and
mandate. The first martial Hohen-
zollern ransacked the earth for big
soldiers to inspire his neighbors with
fear. The Prussian who now aims to
do as Frederick the Great would do if
he were here wants the biggest navy
in order to command the respect of
the world, and the world must either
take his word for it that he seeks the
general peace or it can keep Ger
maHy's navy down to second or third
rank.

Senate Changes.

The United States senate has lost
within two years by death or reslgna-
tion Allison, Whyte, Proctor, Latimer
Mallory, Morgan, Pettus. Bate ami
Spooner. 1t has lost Knox, who nuN
holds the portfolio of state. The re-
cent senatorial elections have caused
other changes. among them the retire
ment of Foraker, Platt and Teller
Some of the new men have been
brought to the front as the result of
direct voting for senators and may be
found somewhat antagonistic to the
conservative spirit of the upper house.
Aside from the changes in the per-
sonnel of the chamber, there are i'm
portant changes in work brought about
by the retirement of veterans. Lodge
succeeds to the place on the finance
committee vacated by the retirement
Of Platt. Senator Crane replaces
Knox as chairman of the commit
tee on rules, place long held by
Spooner, who preceded Knox. While
many of the new men are known to
the country. the majority are to make
their first cast for honors in the na
tional field on the floor of the senate.

For some time there has been fric-
ton between the citizens and authori-
ties Of Wheeling, w. Va, because the
former in defiance of a city ordinance,
prefer to buy natural gas at Is cents
for lighting purposes rather than pay
75 cents for gas manufactured by the
city, which, they claim, is not worth
the difference At present there is a
three cornered fight on. The citizens
are trying to have the monopolistic or
dinance rescfnded, while the city has
brought suit against consumers to re.
strain them from using natural gas
except for heating purposes and
against the natural gas company tc
prevent it from selling gas except fol
fuel.
In its answer the company has ex
ploded bombshell by declaring that
during the last ten years it has sold
34,000000 cubic feet of natural gas te
the city gas works, where it was
mixed with artificial gas and resold tt
consumers at IS cents thousand, al
though the city paid only Is cents fol
it. Yet Wheeling used to be a show
town for municipal ownership.

Wires. Weather and News.

In these days of progressive elec-
trical communication the public has a
right to expect the immediate trans
mission of news, and yet for hours on
I March the national capital was iso-
lated completely just when the entire
country had centered its attention
upon events there. The most popu-
lous section of the country was almost
wholly deprived of information re-
garding the national ceremony until
night. Had mail trains left Washing
ton the morning of the 4th they would
have carried the news of the blizzard
capital as far as New York and Gin
cinnati some hours in advance of the
telegraph. Even authorization to pub
lish the inaugural address, which for
tunately had been distributed in ad-
vance, was with difficulty sent to the
press in time for evening editions.
1t was expected that the wires would
go down in the blizzard, but few re-
allied that the old system of wires
strung on wooden poles was the sole
reliance for news from the political
center Of the country. Openwork
iron posts would be better than wood
en- poles, and underground conduits
still better for more reasons than one.
1t might be economy in the long run
for the companies to install under
ground wires. Until that Is done not
only will news often be delayed, but
railroad traffic also be held up by
blockades from wires and poles wreck
ed in the storm.

The heart of man is book-nay. it
is an encyclopedia of everything that
has ever come within the range Of it's
personal experience. 1t preserves an
eternal record of all the stories in
which it has played a part. 1t is
strange what sad things may be. hid,
den in it's depth without giving any
token of their existence. The heart
may be gay and may send the smile
mantling to the face, but all the while
you see only the topmost stratum. If
the graves beneath were to give up
their dead the smiles would seem
strangely out Of place. 1t is just like
this great earth of ours that renews it
self year after year and has not on Its
surface any token to tell what is the
simple truth-that it has given graves
to 200 generations Of human beings

Inauguration as a Holiday.

For years there has been agitation
in Washington and to some extent
throughout the country for a change
In the date of Inauguration which
would insure decent weather at the
capital The Washington Post de-
clares that the only reason the date
has not been changed from March 4
to April 80 is that no one would take
the initiative. The New York Mail
and Express observes that to move
the date forward. would save in the
long run many valuable lives and a
good deal of bunting, millinery and
shoe leather" Pennsylvania govern
or put the case very bluntly when he
declared, 'There is no necessity for
men to go down there and sacrifice
their lives in the hostile March wealth
er."
Inauguration has figured in the argu-
ments heretofore for a change, this
menace has not been emphasized. The
whole country knows that Washing
ton, which is the headquarters for agi-
tation, wants pageant for business
reasons. While the recent experience
was exceptional, about every inaugu-
raj day has claimed it's toll as a result
Of weather exposure. Washington
thinks nothing of four or five kinds of
weather in twenty-four hours. This
blizzard had ragged all the morning
1t seems now that Washington is not
alone in wanting an Inauguration
pageant and that date in milder
weather would be boon to delega-
tions from all over the country.

The municipal electric light plant Of
Frankfort Ind, was brought into
prominence recently by the bursting of
a fywheel, which damaged it to the
extent of $4,000 to $4,000 ana caused
great Inconvenience to the factories
and business houses that depended on
the plant for light and power. The
accident is said to have been due to
incompetent supervision.
About year ago disinterested citi-
zen of Frankfort wrote to an inquirer:
We have a city of from 10000 to 12,OOO.
The original cost [of the municipal light
Ing plantl was something over $4,000.
While the city has no report, from data
on file should judge that the cost was
about $12O [per street arc lampl. City
taxes have been doubled since the in
stallation Of the municipal lighting plant.
Service is extremely poor, and, while it
appears to be the pet of councilmen, there
is not taxpayer in this city who does
not regard this plant as a white elephant.
Last year we had 10 lights, and the re-
ceipts from all sources from the lighting
plant were something over $4,000, while
the total expenses were something over
$4,000, thus making the net cost of operat-
ing expenses $21 900, or that sum for ITO
street lights. Within the next two years
1t will be necessary to~expend about s4O,-
900 on machinery and repairs.
If your city is out Of debt, has a low
tax levy and a large surplus of cash that
you wish to get rid of, my advice to you
would be to build municipal lighting
plant.
This was the city where few years
ago the feeling in regard to the poor
service became so bitter that the citi-
zens made jack-o'-lanterns of pump
kins and invited the council to inspect
the new lighting plant. At that time
threats were made openly that the
poles would be torn down unless the
service improved.

Judging from the space which GER

Bridgeton pioneer., 1909-03-18

The entrance upon e. new year nnds
public sentiment in more subdued
and thoughtful state on the matter OF
municipal ownership and operation Of
utilities. The country experienced a
scrt of wave on this subject, but the
wave is receding. 1t has been some
thing of q fad. and fads have to pos
sess some pretty good staying qualities
if theEsare not swept away.
The failure of Cleveland to make a
success Of street car system man
aged by the city is a case in point that
has excited much comment and much
serious reflection. And the more the
people of that city reflect the less liza
BILE they seem to be to make another
effort in that direction.
But this case only serves to illustrate
general principle applicable every
where. 1t is truth that municipal
operation of all such utilities is expen-
sive to the taxpayer. 1t is truth that
all business, whether conducted by the
city or by private corporation, must
be conducted with the same regard for
economy, the same regard for making
the investment self sustaining and
profitable
And it is true, whether it ought to
be or not, that those who manage a
municipal enterprise do not exercise
the care in this regard shown in pri-
vate enterprise. The tendency is di-
rectly to extravaganza and waste and
toward doing things on a lavish scale.
This is so notoriously true in enter
prises undertaken by the government
that the utmost watching is necessary
to prevent the treasury from being
raided and wasted.
When it comes to the municipality
precisely the same danger is found.
The idea is inbred apparently that
whenever the public undertakes any
thing money is not to be spared.
Wages and salaries are more thought
of than the cost of the investment and
the need of making a business show
ing. Men do not plan or think or work
for the public with the same idea of
conserving the interests of the proprie-
LOT llldl tHey uO Ill IL pllNdl cHlcl IIISe.
These fundamental difficulties con-
front every municipality owned enter
prise in the country. And the feeling
is now gaining ground that the city
that undertakes any scheme for itself
must make a showing alongside of any
private concern that may offer to rem
der the same service. There is no
sentiment any longer in the case. 1t is
a matter of business strictly. The pub
lie have no pride longer in the thought
that they own and operate any utility
If the tax they pay to maintain it is
more than would be the expense Of
private operation.
And all these considerations operate
to force the municipal plant of what
ever name to make a, showing which
in the nature Of things it is most diff
cult for it to make; hence the receding
of the municipal ownership wave. 1t
gives away to perfectly natural and
inevitable onditions.-Kankakee Qll.)

The word "burgh" in Saxon stood
for "castle;" hence towns anciently
erected in the vicinity of castles for
their protection had this name con-
ferred upon them, and the soldiers who
garrisoned these were called burghers,
so the inhabitants of these towns re-
ceived the same name. These also
