Reform Of Public Utilities.

A public utility corporation with
headquarters in Chicago and plants in
eighteen different cities over the coun-
try has issued circular letter to its
employees and officers reminding
them that every man in the company's
employ is a public servant and that
the better employe he lie the better
public servant he must be. II says:
The operation OF q public utility is in
the most positive sense a public trust
Under these circumstances you must
realize that YOU can do your full duty to
your employer only by doing your full
duty TO the people OF the municipality
where you are occupied The employe who
serves our company best is the employe
who serves the public best.
This is a good move on the part of
public utility corporations and de-
serves the commentator OF the peo-
pie. It shows that some Of these cor
pOrations, at least, have come to a
realization that they owe something
to the public from which they derive
their privileges and revenues. When
all public utility concerns come to
recognize this fact and act upon It, we
shall have little difficulty in adjusting
the problems arising between the peo-
pie and them.
For some years a system has grown
in favor of conducting campaigns Of
education on the part OF the corpora
lions that serve the people, to the end
OF giving the people q better under
standing of the nature Of the business
and problems the corporations have to
deal with. Where this is frankly done
| It cannot but have a salutary effect.

Millions for Human Life.

During the week Mr.. Rockefeller
added $3,SOO,000 to his endowment
of the Rockefeller Institute in New
York, making total of $S,240,O 900.
The New York Times appropriately
styles this "A hospital Of hospitals"
Its specific purpose is to cure selected
diseases-pn heart trouble
and infantile paralysis being the first
in order 1t will provide treatment
free of charge for seventy patients at
time.
Whatever we may think Of Mr..
Rockefeller's business career, we must
admit that this is splendid work. But
the hospital would be not far from
the ordinary If it quit there. Where
it transcends the mission of most hos
pitfalls will be in it's influence upon
others. It will in fact become a high
school in these branches, for it ia
commissioned to go to the limit of
research in determining the causes.
character and treatment OF the Sc
lected diseases. It's own cures. there
fore, will be but a beginning of the
sum total OF it's achievements for man
kind. 1t will hold the brief for other
medical institutions. It's practitioners
will be the authorities and with such
unlimited resources at its command
it's powers Of research and execution
will be far reaching.
This gift Is said to bring Mr.. Rookie
feller's total public benefactions ND to
$3.50, 100000. That is good, but It is
doubtful II he has made a donation
that will do more practical good for
the race than this one. II is giving
money TO save and improve human
life, to help the race work out its
destiny.
Science is often impeded in its
progress for the want Of means. Here
then. is an opportunity where no such
impediment exists and science is given
a free rein to do it's best. BY securins

The equipment Of the hospital is said
to suFpass anything OF the kind in
the country and the entire stan will

Mankind is answering this question
better today than Il did in days gone
by. The call OF the human is not in
vain. Cain Is seldom saying Am l
my brothers keeper?" in this tWenti-
eth century Of marvellous progress; he
recognizes that he is and he is helping
his brother to help himself That is
the virtue Of this present-day philan-
thropy, that the fellow on top is Civ
ing the fellow on the bottom a lift TO
rise. That Is better than naked charity
that gives without the opportunity OF
self-help.
The scores Of charitable and semi
charitable institutions maintained in
cities and towns by local. state and
federal governments alike. for the
young and the old. are all the answer
required today to this question Of the
ages. Large cities where congested
quarters and squalid homes house
large families OF unfortunate little
ones are providing great Playground

where plenty Of fresh air and exercise
can be had free to all. They are con-
Quoting homes and asylums of mercy
to shield the helpless from the rigors
Of winter and its train Of hardships
They are fighting for pure food, for
fresh milk. for cheap and wholesome
ice, for sanitary houses and factories,
for the square deal for the man or
woman or child who alone is not able
to command It. This is the answer Of
the twentieth century to this question.
And Il is made in the most pragmatic
sense. Il is made, too, at the expense
financially of the community, but, sor-
did as some think the world 10. 1t lie

used to when human misery or want is

SENATOR JOHN D. DOLIIvER.


s. II. NJ. Bysrs in pes Moines Register
What! Is he dead, whose voice an hour
ago
Held senates listening to his mighty
Whose speech like sea waves sounded to
and fro,
And hearts grew glad to hear the deep
refrain2
Will we no more the genial face behold,
The strong form see, nor grasp the kindly
hand,
Nor hear again his laughter as Of old,
Nor see his like again In all the land?
On stOrmiest seas his ship he proudly
BY rock and isles where but the bravest
win.
Why should he die just as the land was
Just as the ship was proudly sailing in?
Who had not seen him when the hour was
Touch human hearts to wonder and to
thrill
o, princeiy eloquence, is this thy fate,
One little day, and then forever still?
Fame stood beside him with her crown
Such as earth's nObest to her hOblest
Death saw the prize and snatohed it from
Yet left the laurels ike halo there
Death must have grieved to shut the door
on him,
To leave us waiting for the curtains rise
Such use for men there is when day is dim
And stars forget to tighten up the skies
He had his foes. who not, at such height?
Yet this be said he feared not one nor all.
With naked sword he stood amidst the
fight,
They found him dying close beside the
wall,
When autumn leaves before his open door
Fell in soft music from the trembling
limb,
It was IKE murmurings by the sweet sea-
shore:
He did not dream It was dirse for him
For to the last his soul was all aoheer
And smiles beguiled the quickly fading
breath,
Nor any thought what might be lowering
near,
He only died and never knew twas
death
Farewell, farewell! upon some other shore
Where all Is fair and beautiful about,
May We not meet where death can be no
more,
Where suns n'er set, nor any stars go
out2

New York World
glance at the religious notices in the
Saturday papers is sufficient to show to
what extent the churches now avail them
selves OF display type to set forth their
attractions. Almost as much prominence
is given to the announcement Of the sun
day services as to theater advertising
and the fact is significant Of a new con-
ception Of the uses Of publicity in pro-
noting an interest In religion.
Not only is the subject Of the sermon
printed IN type selected to catch the eye,
but attention is called to special features
Of a program designed TO draw o large
audienoe-to the concert or moving picture
exhibition arranged for, to the fact that
the services will be held on the parish
house roof during hot weather, TO ad-
dresses on civic questions or the discussion
OF political Issues A cut of the church
or a picture Of the pastor sometimes ac-
companies the notice.
This extension OF publicity methods by
the churches Is not confined to the large
cities. II Is a movement Of national ex-
tent, as may be judged by the Instances
cited in Printers Ink Of advertising Of the
kind by churches in Paterson, Columbus,
o.. Davenport, Ia, Lawrence, Kan, Troy,
N. Y, Omaha and in Alabama. North pa
kota and elsewhere. 1t is an entirely le-
Ultimate development Of church activities.
AS the pastor OF a Lutheran congregation
in Ohio says, Printers ink is as good for
a church as for any big business" And
1t may be added, fully as appropriate for
an institution that has the best OF Scrip

II is to be noted that one Frank A.
Harrison is again seeking publicity
through democratic channels trying to
make a point against William Hay
wards candidacy for congress in the
First Nebraska district because he
served as secretary to his father for a
few months and drew the regular pay
for the work, a position which Harri-
son coveted. The only statement
made by Harrison worth correcting is
the one in which he says:
Il had managed the newspaper part OF

We were fighting in Nebraska then the
same sort OF element now represented In
the nation by Wickersham, Frank Hitch
cock and Ballinger, and a good many peo-
pie felt it a patriotic duty to do all they
could FOR the election Of Judge Hayward,
who represented the other element"
The fact is that, during all the time
he rendered the service he here refers
w. I4Al llhuh ulGW pdg AAOu no hCC
as a regular employe of this paper.
He was on The Bees payroll through
the entire campaign Of 1898 and the
legislative fight of 1899, and whatever
he did in the way Of managing the
newspaper part of that campaign was
by direction Of his employers and for
the money they aid him. II we
recollect Alright, he received, with our
consent, in addition to his salary as
our Lincoln correspondent, q small
weekly allowance from the republican
state committee for rearranging what
he wrote for The Bee into a press
bureau letter for the country papers.
Harrison did not cease drawing a sal

The Western Laborer, which is a
spirited weekly published in the inter
est of organized labor. has been beat
ing the tom-tom for Congressman
Hitchcock as entitled to labor support
in return for square treatment. We
have, however, copy of the Laborer
printed a few years ago, in which it
refers to the same Mr. Hitchcock as
follows:
The contemplate slurs OF the World
Herald at the president OF the Central
Labor union is not the only way in which
that sting of-ingrautude outfit has been
giving unions and union men the worst Of
It. II is notorious that in the mailing room
OF that paper is a man who publicly boasts
that he will bust up the Mailers union
and II Is understood that Hitchcock is
backing him up i'm his fight on the union.
The new administration has a good oppor
tunity to show its good intentions by get
ting behind the mailers and forcing the
World Herald TO square the mailing room
or force the nonunion worker il is feeding
out OF his job
Which was right, the Western La
borer when it denounced Hitchcock
for giving unions and union men the
worst Of 1t, or the Western Laborer
when it now slobbers over him as a
lifetime friend of the unions?

Postmaster General Hitchcock predio-
ton that by July, 1911 the postal service
will be self-sustainlng is a fresh tribute
to the practically OF President Tart S
policy Of administration reforms Mr.. Tart
set TO work earnestly when he became
president to reduce the cost Of government
Before his time expenditure had steadilN
increased and the increase was looked
upon in congress as we'll as In the depart
monts as unavo. dable. A part OF tt was
unavoidable, because the nation has grown
and the activities Of the federal service
have been expanded IN all directions But
another part Of the increase was not justi-
fiable-that due to the locl, OF cooperation
between congress and the executive IN
planning expenditures and to the employ
ment OF anuquated and costly methods in
conducting the governments business. The
budget law passed by congress and zeal
ously executed by President Taft has
checked the annual increase in appropria-
tons. The expenditures for l9t0-l9li will
be smaller than those for i9O9-lsi0-the first
decrease in q generation. A thorough over
hauling Of the departmental machinery
Is also putting the government in post
ton to do its work more effectively on a
smaller outlay
In the postal service the deficit was
cut down last year about sli0OoOOo Az
the end OF the present fiscal year Mr..
Hitchcock says that there will be no de-
fict. lie has asked congress TO appropri'

the annual increase IN postal expenditures
has been about t200OOOOO, But the post.
master general thinks that he can take
| care OF the additional business with a small
extra allowance, and can more than offset
that allowance by increased postal receipts
There is no good reason why the postal
service should not pay its own way. II
is 10 do so hereafter and Mr.. Hitchcock
suggests, moreover, that It may be soon
making sufficient profits on the present
rates to warrant the experiment OF one
cent letter postage. Delivering frst-class
mail at the one-cent rate without calling
on congress to make good a deficit in the
postal appropriations would be a signal
| vindicaton OF Presidents Taft's contention
that the government can easily be made to
give better service at a lower cost.
