ENGLAND'S FOOD SUPPLY.

The Declaration of London, which House of Commons, is said to be much less measure to lessen the horrors of war than an instrument to decrease the chance that England will be cut off from a food supply in the event or a war with a continental power The weakness of the Island cannot raise food enough to support her population. English statesmen have long feared that in the event of her navy being weakened, or destroy ed, in the neighborhood of home sh6res she would be subjected to ef- fective blockade by her enemies and her people reduced to starvation. The Declaration of London has the effect of modifying existing international law of contraband by declaring that food shall not be always contra band." This is intended to open the way to the distinction that food for the support of the war forces of the belligerent nation is contraband, but not contra band when for the use of the non -combatant members of the pop ulation of the belligerent. The real effect of, the declaration, from the viewpoint of the prime minister, ap- pears to be, not that a mere paper expression limiting the definition of contraband, will have much effect upon the practice of a determined enemy. but that it will open the way food in neutral bottoms shall not be treated as contraband. That is, Mr. Asquith believes that the United States, will find it to her self inter est, to protect food supplies in trans port to England, because American markets will be extended. Mr. As quith intimates that the United States might even use force to prevent the sinking of neutral ships carrying food, unless it should be shown that the cargo was destined for the sub sistence of armed forces MT. As quith is probably mistaken, as to what the attitude of the United States would be in such a case, but there is no denying that the Declarat tion of London opeNs the way.

CORRUPT JOURNALISM.

Journalism is basically neither a business nor profession. It is a pub lie office--at it's best, the highest form of od-citizenship-at it's worst, the vilest type of treason.
 The responsibility of moulding the opinions of multitudes can only safe ly be vested in competent and care full men.
 The right to serve civicS, morality and good government-to trace and eradicate sources of economic pollu- tion-these are sacred privileges.
 When journalism paints it's face, dyes it's hair and offers it's services to the highest bidder, Freedom is vir- tually sold into slavery-national in- tegrity is imperiled and disaster walks in the dawn.
 The blackguard who peddles the printed page in the open market is a wholesale libertine-a hired seducer-

ASPECTS OF PUBLIC OWNER
 SHIN.

The area within which Public Own ership may safely be invoked by all municipalities in Ill lands is, in short. extremely small; and the far larger and more debatable area with in which Public Ownership fails at enc spot and succeedes at another IS so broken up by the infinite variety of local conditions as almost to defy classification or description as a whole. We want to know the best method of regulating public util- private corporations. We want to ascertain, if possible. some fairly broad and not too rigid principle that would help us to separate the services that ought to be taken over by the municipality or the State from those that might legitimately be left Tn private hands. We want, again, to strike an approximate balance between O Public Ownership combined with the lease of the undertaking to. an unofficial corporation, @ Public Own ership combined with public opera tion, and (O private ownership and private operation under public control. Assuming that the advantage is found to lie with the system of Public Own ership combined with public operation. we want, next, to discover how this system works-what are its financial effects in relieving taxation or in in- creasing local indebtedness, whether the services it supplies are of a bet ter quality and lower in price than those which might be obtained from a properly regulated private company what consequences result from the creatio of body of privileged work men drawing higher pay from the pub lie authority than they would receive from an eordinary employer, how far the expansion of State and municipal activities and the increase of State and municipal employment of labor affect the tone and character of. poli- tics and the interest of the people in the1r civic and national affairs, how far they react upon private enterprise and influence the flow of capital and the state of the labor-market, and what, finally are the conditions, polit- ical. legal. administrative and "atmos- pheric.'' that give to Public Owner ship it's best chance of success.-Syd- ney Brooks, in the August number of The North American Review.

SAME OLD STORY"

.The same old storyss' comments a Contemporary, in recording the death of Mary Malioy of Hartford, who stepped backward off a trolley car and fractured her skull.
 Of similar character was the fatal accident Saturday evening to Tony Gritchi of this city, who jump ed backward off a Barnum avenue car in pursuit of his ha 1t. His skull was fractired and he died shortly afterward.
 The deaths from this cause,-step- ping backward off trolley ears, go on with clocklike regularity and are now and then spiced and diversified by the addition of other cases in which the victim attempts to board nov ing car-and falls under the wheels.
 Still another class of these ac- cidents are from no fault or neglect of tne passenger, but ars que to the car starting suddenly when the pas
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-08-01

senger is getting on or off. This is frequent occurrence on crowded cars, where the conductors sight does not cover the entire car. And crowd ed cars are an important part of the trolley company's profit system.
 The Connecticut company's sole method of safeguarding the public is the printing of signs on the car seats: 'Wait Until the Car Stops"
 But it is human to take chances, particularly when one is carried be- yond ones destination. or ones hat blows off, orssome other emergency occurs. People will get off moving cars; certain proportion will get off backward, and a large percentage of these will pay for it with their lives.
 Out West they don't stop at print ing little signs on the car seats. They make it impossible to get on or off moving trolley car, and the whole danger is obviated, lives saved and
 
 In Minneapolis and St. Paul, for instance, the street car companies are required by law to install this safety device and are permitted to run no other kind of car.
 The device consists of a barrier which locks the passengers into the car and makes it practically impos- sible to get on or off while the bar rier is in position.
 the car is brought to a dead stand still. It is connected with the brakes and the electric current. Likewise the car cannot possible be started again until the barrier is back in position. In this way the passeng- CTS are absolutely safeguarded. They cannot jump off backward even If they try; furthermore they are safe guarded from careless crews, for it is physically impossible for the mo- torman to start the car while a pas senger is getting aboard or alighting; the brakes are set and the power cut off, until the barrier has been locked into position.
 Here is a good field of usefulness for our Public Utilities commissions. That's how it was brought about n the West.
