A SANE FOURTH.

The sane Fourth is coming to bt
as much Of an institution in this
country as ever has been the "in
sane" Fourths of the past generation
To show assumed patriotism by
blowing off fingers and blowing out
eyes has gone out of style. When
conservation Of life runs against pa
triotism that had gone crazy there
was crash and out of the din and
destruction Is coming a new patriot
ism-a spirit that not only gives
three cheers and a hurrah for the
braVeness Of our ancestors, but one
as well that inspires the present gen
Grafton to conserve itself for a noble
mission than war, /. e., that OF peace
Records of sane Fourths show the
following facts:
In 1909 there were 5,S07 persons
injured CIR killed, with 20 cities try
ing sane Fourths.
In 1910 there were 1928 persons in.
jured or killed, with 81 cities trying
sane Fourths.
In 1911 there were 1903 persons in
jured or killed, with 161 cities trying
sane Fourths.
Let the good work of agitation go
on. At the above rate as many more
years will make our glorious Fourth
very safe and pleasant day.

In the last issue of The Gazette I
see the press dispatch entitled Kill.
ing Bryan Some More" The Tell
Us How to Vote Club" organized
by House Democrats for the pur-
pose of putting William ]. Bryan
out o. business as 8 party power and
political prophet In the organiza-
ton of such club these men show
bow totally unfit they are to hold
those high Offices. This purile,
boyish. if not foolish attempt on
their part might be passed as an un-
usual bit Of sarcasm were il not that
It IS evidently not meant ia that way.
Such measures inst-sd Of lessen
ing MIR. BFysn's influence will natur

has a right as has every other mem
Der OF his party to pass his opinion
on any and all measures coming be-
fore Congress and in doing so he
voices the sentiments and views of
millions of voters who have had and
sun hold the highest regard for his
opinions. The humblest citizen may
write his opinions and send to his
representative, and has a right to be
heard not only by that member but
oy the whole body of Congress, as
the laws passed there affect the
whole nation. But these may be by
thousands turned down or given an
eEaSiVe answer. But Mr.. BRYAN
cannot be so suumarily dealt with.
His views will be made public and
any back thrust at him VII be uu-
derstood to mean those millions of
voters who think as he does. Poor
indeed must be their conception Of
their duties aud powers If they think
that once elected they are no longer
answerable to their constituency for
their acts. Bar they VIII have 20 an

not because of Mr.. Bryan but be-
cause thepeople think as he does.
To party policy the same is true
as is to legislation. Those men
must not for one moment think that
they are the only or the highest
power. The voters of the party are
to be considered. They want a
united party to achieve success in
the next presidential campaign.
The course of these men is to stir
up discord. to make factions. to Gre
ate doubt. In fact il makes success
very uncertain.
The party cannot hope to win IN

is apparent to every thinking man.
The country is making long aud

WATER AND
SEWERAGE
Tries to Interest
City Council,

Mr. J. b. McCrsrY. of Atlanta,
Ga. spent Tuesday in Williamsburg
trying to interest the City Council in
q water and sewerage system. Mr..
McCrsry is president Of the firm
bearing his name, The J. B. Nc
Crary Co.. whose principal offices
are in Atlanta.
This firm of engineers are advo-
Gates of municipal ownership of ali
public utilities, and their purpose is
to act in an advisory way. furnishing
plans. doing the construction, mark
eang the bonds, etc. on a per cent
age basis.
Mr.. McCrsry interviewed several
members Of the city council, and
was very free to confess that he met
with little encouragement. He says
that a complete water and sewerage
system could be installed here at a
cost of about $50 600. A water
system alone would cost approSi-
mately $4,000 He says that the
cost of operating the plant wosld be
met by the income from it. and that
the reduction in insurance would pay
the interest on the bonds.
He is now installing q system in
Lewrenceville, Va. a much smaller
place than Williamsburg. His COM
pany operates the plant till It is on
paying basis. say for a year. and
guarantees that the income from the
same will make il a profitable invest
ment.
In speaking of municipal owner
ship, Mr.. McCrsry. who is an en-
gineer of wide experience. says:
The question ofprivate or public
ownership is not often raised at the
present time. The experience of
hundreds of cities has proyenso con-
clusively that municipal ownership
is the only satisfactory and logical
plan to operate a water or light plant
that little needs be.said on this point.
As business proposition why
should individuals enjoy profits aad
privileges which rightly belong to
a clty9 Sometimes the answer is
that municipalities cannot manage
economically. We have depart
ment that teaches plant management
and guarantees financial success to
any municipal plant when entrusted
20 its care
There is a sentiment in Williams
burg in favor of giving away this
valuable franchise to private parties,
The above argument should be con.
sidered whenever il is again proposed
TO give away to some capitalist Z
right which many cities would pay
thousands TO have back again il
their own possession.
