The I BOARD.

The action OF the organization or
circus owners. which has voted to
use the newspapers hereafter for ad-
vertising instead of the bill boards,
will help enc the sorry vogue OF out
door advertising.
The lurid and often indecent pic
lures OF the bill board have been it's
undoing. Had bill posters been con-
tent with the conservative methods in
use in many places in Europe, they
would never have aroused such a pro-
test.
Travellers will well remember the
little round advertising kiosks OF
Paris. on which bills a few feet
square are permitted. These bills
displayed a moderate sized type with
out flaming pictures. and the whole
thing was not an unpleasant bit of
color in the city landscape.
The American bill poster. however.
started out on the theory that the
louder he s%hrieked. the more the pub
lie would be convinced. 1t was like
the case OF some man, who on falling
to convince another by conversation
in an ordinary tone OF voice. begins
10 get mad and yell at him as IL he
were deaf. That style OF an argu-
ment might do among the cave men.
But it did no affect the shrewd Amer

thing about an article other than its
ability TO display fountains OF red
and yellow ink.

Gated by the disappointments and

PUBLIC UTILITY REGULATION.

President Theodore y. Vail, of the
Bell Telephone Company. is one OF
the financial magnates who realize
the necessity and the certainty of
public control OF public utilities. On
this subject he says in a recent inter
view:
Prom time !-mmemorial efforts have
been made in some way TO control or re-
strict any ccumulation in the hands or
in the uncontrolled possession OF any in
dividual or set OF individuals. OF those
things which mad become necessary to
public wants. Public control or reguia-
ton OF public service corporations by
permanent commissions. has come and
come 10 stay. Control or regulation eN-
erCtsed through Sucn I bod has many
advantage over that exercised through
OCULAR legislative bOdie s )r committees
The permanent commission VIII le a
puasi-iudicial body II should act only
Uftcr thorough inVeSt.gd'iun and Ice gov
erned by the equities 90 each case.
such control and regulation can
and should stop all abuses Of capitaliza-
ton. OF eNtOrtiOn or OF oNe~"atrg -. or
unt reasonable division OF profits
The above statement OF the public
interest in corporations hat Zeal in
the necessities and are natural mon
opolies. leaves little to be said.
Gradually We have come to realize
that public service corporations are
for the people. the Of the
people and not their rulers. This
great idea appears in much OF our
federal legislation, and is rapidly
finding its way into our state legisla-
ton. Difficulties will be encountered.
Mistakes will be made. but the time
is not far distant when public utilities
such as street railways. steam rail
ways. telephone and telegraph lines.
express companies, electric light and
water companies. will all be regulated
by the state and nation. Their rates
will be fixed, their capitalization
limited. their expenditures supervised
and their entire operations controlled
by the people and for the benefit OF
the people.
