Municipal Ownership of the Water
works,

Municipal ownership, especially
of water and light, is growing in
favor Notwithstanding the deliber-
ate discredits and the wilful mis-
representation of the individuals
and THEM paid public organs, who
persist in misleading the people,
Fortunately the masses are being
awakened to the full appreciation
of the municipal ownership and
control of water and lights and
other utilities.
Municipal ownership" says the
Picayune of August %, 'has re
ceived a big boost in Iowa because
of the successful year which the
Council Bluffs city waterWOrks has
just closed. The annual report just
issued shows that in addition to
paying off the interest on the in
vestment, spending $4,000 in bet
terments and repairs, the city has
cleared approximately $4,000, which
sum will be set aside to assist in
paying the bonds when they fall
due. Enemies of municipal owner
ship have been converted. The
Council Bluffs water plant was built
nearly thirty years ago. Since then
its owners have received regularly
dividends of about is per cent and
more, while practically nothing was
expended for repairs. In fact, much
of the antiquated machinery which
was installed when the plant was
constructed was still in use when
the city took over the system. The
fight for possession of the water
works was waged for eight years.
The company exhausted every legal
technieality to maintain its hold on
the profitable business, but advo-
Gates of city ownership fought the
battle to a successful finish and in
1911 the system of WaterWorks was
turned over to the city. Council
Bluffs issued long time bonds which
were sold, and the money received
from the sale was paid over to the
water company and the city took
the plant. The first yeary profits are

The Color Line Drawn

! IL would seem that the negro is
always with us and no matter
where. There Is negro, black skin,
Ia mulattO, quadrOOn or an OctO-
room. In the SOuth~,as a rule, the
negro has been regulated to know
ard to appreciate his condition soc
! tally and therefore he never at
tempts to intrude or to equaliZe
himself unless invited which is rare
! 1t is in the states Of the North,
where the amalgamatiOn of the ne
gro and some of the whites, men
as well as women is recognized le-
gal!y, that the negro assumes and
presumes on his Importance. For
instance, Attorney General Wicker
sham may see no difference nor
distinction between himself and
William H. Lewis, as cOlored gen
tleman, of Boston, Masss., who is
titled as and holds the office OF
United States assistant attorney
general,
The negro Lewis, is not satisfied
with his station nor his office. His
ambition is to rise to the distinction
of being a member of the American
Bar Association, white men who are
distinguished in their profession and
are the peers of the great men OF
the world. Unquestionably Lewis,
as member of this association
would in time lead to its discredit
and to its disrepute.
1t is not possible to amalgamate
Oil and water, regardless Of the de-
plorabIe fact that some white men
and some white women marry in
the Northern states.
On this subject the Picayune Of
August %, says:
The question whether negro at
tOrneys shall be admitted to mem
bership in the American Bar Asso-
citation will be submitted for decis-
ion at the annual meeting of the or
ganizatiOn at Milwaukee. The ex-
ecutive committee of the associa-
ton recently made public special
report regarding the election to
membership of three negroes, which
was afterWard rescinded. This ques-
ton first arose last January, when
the committe reconsidered its &C
ton ine1ecting to membership Will
liam H. Lewis, a United States as
sistant attorney general. Lewis
is a well-known Boston negro, and
a Harvard graduate. Action was
rescinded in making Lewis a mem
Der on the ground that such action
had been taken in Ignorance of mat
erial facts. which facts were that
Lewis was a negro. Attorney Gener
al Wickersham declares that the
negro was legally elected and that
the committee had no right to res
cind its original actio. The chances
are that Lewis will not be admitted
to membership.
