 To the Editor: Has any Dne yet good citizenship, to eliminate from this community. by municipal owner ship. the hatred. cheat-i'ghts and ethical anarchy which is and would be felt in connection with the Street Railway, or any profit taking corpora tion which might take its place now or in the future? C J. w. Ii.
 The rightfulnesy of the municipal ownership of public utilities is not based exclusively on the money test. This is the essence of what "C. J. w. H." means. Simply because it pays" to have a city own its gas, water works, electric light plant and street car system is not sufficient The true test is: What is the effect of munich pal ownership on the civic life of tho people?
 If it tends to righteousness, to the elimination of corruption and graft, to increasing the interest of the citi- gems in having the public -busin ess done we'll and also economically, to cultivating that pride in locality which is not content until everything possible is done toward making life worth living," then indeed, it can be said that the highest possible good comes from municipal ownership.
 MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP FREE LY RESPONDS TO THIS TEST.
 A couple of years ago Prof. Fred eric C. Howe, of Cleveland. visited Europe and gave the British Cities he wrote a book on the subject, and if business men or others, de- sire enlightenment on the effect of municipal trading in public utilities, they are advised to read this volume. Municipal trading has brought sense of unity and fraternal helpfulness, so that the best governed cities in Great Britain are those which have entered trading most extensively. Says MT. Howe:
 "A city that keeps it's hands off. that does nothing but police and clean
 
 people. But when it adds to the traditional functions the manifold services of transit, gas, water. cleo tric light, libraries parks, baths and lectures, it awakens the love and in- terest of the community in itself. In the trading towns people talk city. One hears it in the clubs, the restaur- ants, on the street cars everywhere. The fact that man is joint owner ill the tram line makes him critical and appreciatfve of the tram line. He Is interested in it's earnings-he follow: its balance sheets from year to year He talks about extensions, rates of fare, and the innovations suggested by the council. The citizen looks upon the city as his city, as some thing in which he has vital intereat And nowhere is there any p"Ovc-'lnnt away from the municipal ownership
 In no municipal enterprise is this more true than in the ownership ot street cars. While it is among the last which European municipalities .a have appropriated to themselves. yet it is the most important of them all A city is prosperous. other things ne- ing equal, in the proportion in which it has convenient and cheap trans portation. allowing the people to cir culate freely. in a measure 'it fixes the cities boundaries, and in still greater measure 1t "controls the op- portunit to work" When a man rr woman can go from one end of a city to the other in search of employ

Kills Boil Weevils.

The following from Washing
ton says:
The devastating floods along
the Mississippi have not been an
unmixed evil, for in spite OF
their destructive work they have
helped to clean out a lot of boil
weevils.
Secretary Wilson announced
that although early cotton plant
ing is ordinarially desired, the
overflow this year would make it
possible to plant as late as May
Is with comparative freedom
from weevil injury.
This applies as far south as St..
Joseph, La. Below that point
many weevils found winter quar-
tiers in Spanish moss, where they
were safe from the water.
1T must not be supposed, "
said Mr.. Wilson, that all the
weevils have been exterminated,
even in the northern part of the
food area, for even there were
some above the high water level,
and during the the season there
will be a flight of weevils into
this territory"
Attention was called also tc
the uncertainty in the production
of a crop on overfowed lands,
regardless of the weevil. Or
this account, it was said, farmers
should only plant enough land tt
late cotton to retain their labor.

Robert F. Broussand has an
nounced his candidacy for anoth-
er term in Congress from the
Third Louisiana District, before
taking his seat in the United
States Senate, March 4, 1915. In
a lengthy statement he con-
cludes:
IF at this criticize moment my
people prefer to continue me in
the House, believing that my
long service there will be of aid
to them, they certainly have the
right to do so. This being true,
the question arises, can refuse
to accede to their wishes. AS
they have stayed by me at all
times, so shall / stay by them
now, as in the past when they
called for my services. Duty
precludes me from any other
course.

quite regardless of political re-
suits, personal to myself, submit
my services to the call Of my
people. In answer to this call

A certain writer has said that

A certain writer has said that
no newspaper which took truth
for its standard would make a
pecuniary success. The press
might return the compliment by
remarking that no minister who
told the truth about his congre-
cation, alive or dead, would oc-
cupy the pulpit much longer than
on Sunday afterward. The press
and clergy go hand in hand with
the whitewash brush, rosy spec
tacles magnifying little virtues
and kindly throwing little de-
formities into oblivion. The pull
pit, the pen and the gravestone
are partners in saint-making.

The "Versatile" Editor.

We are witnessing many
changes in our social, industrial
and economical life. Old things
are passing away and all things
are becoming new.
Among other things we note
the passing of the versatile"
editor. Time was when. this
person was an important person.
age in any community. He was
looked up to and down upon and
was put in jail and bailed out OF
jail. He was supported by bor-
rowed money. cordwood and
wedding cake, and in exchange
for these courtesies he was ex-
pected to do any and everything
that the rest could not do.
The versatile editor was what
we call an all-round-man. He
had his faults, perhaps, but ne
had his stunts, and he was at all
times loaded to the guards with
the responsibilities Of the life OF
his community and other soft
drinks.
He was the first baseman on
the baseball team. He played b
fiat in the home band. He called
the dances and led the grand
march. He sang in the church
choir. He played the william part
in the local dramatic events. He
was secretary Of the party caucus
and introduced the speaker the
18th of July. He escorted the
girl who had no steady company
and finally he either disappeared
entirely or married the girl.
This editor did not sit in any
--sanctum where the electric light
sparkled and the electric fan
cooled heated brows. He stood
at the case and set the stuff
oattof his head, and ruined his
+, eyes by the light Of a lamp that
WIS seldom cleaned and which
supported a chimney that was
dim with smoke. He set the ad-
refreshments as we'll as the Obit.
uaries and he did it all we'll. He
made up and he also turned the
press. He folded the papers and
mailed out the list. He paid the
help, or stood the help off. He per.
sonally accepted all the flowers
sent to the office and he person
ally reasoned with or licked the
man who disagreed with hin
about the article. He was the
sole arbiter of subscription
list and kept the list of unpaid'
in his head. If money happened
to come in it went into his poke
where it belonged and not int
the bank where creditors Nigh
become attached to it. But tn
money did not stay in his poke
longer than the coming in 0
another versatile" who wa
broke. He generally conducte'
a newspaper and attended to al
the calls upon his time an
strength until the paper hous
refused to longer stand for il
when he moved on.
Well here is q flower for tn
