MUNICIPAL ISSUE IS PLAIN.

we have only another issue two to discuss the
municipal ownership of an electric lighting plant

GOVERNMENT OWNED TELEGRAPH.

Government ownership of the telegraph service
is as natural and logical as government postal
monopoly, postal savings bank or parcels post
And it would work well with postoffice activities
complementing and strengthening both services
This was suggested in the announcement of the in
tenton Of Postmaster General Hitchcock, to recon-
mend such government ownership.
Although this recommendation has not yet been
formally made, it has been taken up by some of the
Democratic congressman, especially by Chairman
Moon of the house postal committee, who announces
that he will bring it before the committee and the
house at this session. 1t will therefore become
Democratic measure.
This is not altogether matter. It has long
been discussed in other of it's phases and as
long ago 1888 Postmaster General Wannamaker
recommended that the government buy the tele-
graph companies.
10 acquire the telegraphs would mean a large
expense. But the earning ability Of the service
might make it possible for the government to take
over the plants and business of the companies with
out drawing on the national treasury, bond issues
taking care of the purchase.
This will not come at once. Before it does come
it will be fought bitterly by the benefciares of spe
clal privilege and private monopoly just the pos
tai savings banks and parcels post have been
fought But it will come in time And the move
ment will probably be much quicker than that which
brought the savings banks and is bringing the par
cells post, as the people more ready for such
thing and the opposition has not the strength, now
adays, it had in the years past.

REMARKABLE SOCIALIST GAINS

REMARKABLE SOCIALIST GAINS.
The result of the election of men,
bers of the Reichstag in Germany by
which the Socialists have gained
many new seats is as remarkable as
It is surprising.
There has not been a re-apportion-
ment in the German empire since the
days of Bismark. The agrarian dis
tricts since then have suffered losses
in population, while the cities have
grown rapidly. The Socialists have
scored their mightiest victories in the
cities. -:
Legion, one of the Socialist leaders
in the Reichstag and representing a.
Berlin district, was elected at the last
election by a majority of 100000. The
leader Of the government coalition
comes from an agrarian district
where but a total of 5000 votes were
cast for all candidates.
The Socialists claim that if equal
appcrtionment obtained they would
soon rule in Germany. In view Of
the handicaps under which they are
compelled to labor the Socialist gains
were we'll earned.

DEMOCRATS COMMON ENEMY.

Norman E. Mack, chairman of the
Democratic committee, in his speech
at the Jackson day banquet in WASH
ington declared that it was time for
Democrats to quit fighting one an
other and to Join hands in alta cking

say, amen.
But who is the common enemy? ?
La Toilette anu his adherents in the
Republican party, or Lorimer and his
type? And what Democrats must stop
fighting one another? Are they
Bryan for instance, and Guffey?
Chairman Mack is mistaken. The
most dangerous foes to the Demo-
cratic party are it's Guffeys and its
