EDITORIALS BY THE PEOPLE.


To the Editor OF The Times
James Scott has bequeathed half
million for a memorial fountain on
Belle Isle, provided his statue is placed
thereon. But we are told that he has
accomplished nothing which would
make him worthy OF being placed on a
public pedestal and indeed the best
proof OF his unworthiness Is seen in
the very fact that he was so ignorant,
" deeirous OF being placed there. Be-

recognized, for what? For his good
deeds or for his bad deeds? Nay, for
neither. but simply because he could

WHERE MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP PAYS

Municipal ownership OF public util-
tiles in Birmingham, England. is prov
ing to be a very profitable undertake
ing for the people of that city. Con.
sui Albert Halstead reports that the
profits on the gas, street railway and
electric supply departments OF the
city for the year ending March 81,
1910, aggregated $562,S45. Meanwhile
the cost OF service has been lowered
For instance, in 1875, the average net
price per thousand cubic feet was IAN
cents. In 1909 II was AZ cents, and
yet in 1909 the gas department earned
for the people profit OF s352,7sl. The
net profits earned by the city's public
utilities are used to reduce the taxes.
The profit Is regarded as net only after
sufficient sums have been set aside for
depreciation, reserve, and repayment
of capital borrowed.

We pay in life and limb for the
speed, convenience and completely of
modern civilization, and we pay in the
streets as We pay in factory and mine.
We cannot have cars. engines, loops,
elevated lines, traffic congestion In a
city without a certain number OF acct
dents. But this number can be and
must be greatly reduced by care, by
obedience to legal regulations, by eff
cheney and discipline. by instruction
and serious attention TO safety.
The reckless autoists, the reckless
street car conductor or motor man, the
stubborn and lawless teamster, have
each many sins to answer for, but the
general public Is not without great
share of responsibility. Railroad tracks
are crossed in spite OF warnings and
restrictions by trespassing Migrants

The gospel of reasonable care and
prudence is one which all the ele-
ments OF the city need equally. Laws
and ordinances are essential, but the
average city man and woman must
learn TO cooperate with the authori-
ties and the utility companies, to avoid
danger instead OF inviting il, and TO
teach children to avoid IL. The pub
