MUNICIPAL CONSEQUENCES.

What good does the cleanup move
ment do? Look at that paper in the
street." said an intelligent and pros
porous, Il somewhat pessimistic, c!ti.
zen the other day
Cnconsciously the pessimistic citi-
zen was exempiifying the good the
cleanup movement is doing. Hers
was his office, where civic affairs were
not welcome because they have a way
OF diverting the straight and narrow
channel Of business. But throuG! he
daily newspapers the citizen h:;u be-
come cognizant of the cleanup move
1nent, and in turn he had become i'm
patient at the sight OF municipal
slovenliness, waste paper in the
streets. BY the very token with
which he was denying the efficacy of
the cleanup movement, he was ad-
hitting that it had brought home t.
at least one mind the idea of city
cleanliness.
The experience of the citizen was
but an atom of what we might call
municipal consciousness" a condt-
ton that is doing more than anything
else to improve city government in
this country. And this municipal con-
seriousness can be promoted best by
movements in which different organ
izations and the newspapers bring
home to the people of city the in,
spring idea that they need certain
things and must require certain duties
of themselves and Of their govern,
ment
Laws but give confirmation to such
consciousness. If the people, after
a campaign of education, decide that
they do not want smoke. smoke wiA
cease to sully the heavens. We al
ready have had partial proof Of their
ability to Danish smoke. If the peo-
pie decide that the streets shall no.
be Uttered with paper, it will be but
a matter Of time when waste paper
shall be rare sight. And this munich
pal consciousness can be developed
that eventually 1t will be constructive
rather than merely prohibitive. II
can say, If 1t will, that we shall have
better-paved streets, that we shall have
an fnterurban entrance and a union
depot
Our municipal consciousness is be-
ing but awakened. Who knows but
that some day it may become the
Boss" kind of invisible government
which will bring into play the city's
greater resources ?-Cincinnat Times

for all minor ailments. II may be
truthfuly said Of John Bunny that he
was a. good fellow, In the highest
sense of the word. and that as he
made his way through this life he
scattered about him the seeds of
laughter. happiness and optimism in
the hope that they would spring up
and bring forth an abundant harvest
for the hungry souls of the everyday
public. And this man sowed not in
vain, OF which the great sorrow mani
tested all over the country at his
death Is ample proof John Bunny
has gone, never to return, but the
truths he taught and the knowledge
OF the work he accomplished remain
with US, and we would do well to make
our lives, in some respect at least
conform to that OF the great mirth
maker. We can all me optimists, il
not humorists.

Or. DERNeuRe ON NEUTRALITY

DR.. Dernburg complains that Ameri-
can newspapers are not neutral"
The fault lies with the doctor, not
with the newspapers The American
newspaper and the American people
are strictly neutral in the only sense
in which the term can be applied
properly to them-which is, that they
are practically unit in supporting
the neutrality of their government.
This is a neutrality without a flaw.
1t is too much, however. to expect DR..
Dernburg to understand this. He and
his fellow countrymen have been so
long under the influence Of might
makes right kultur" that they are I'M
able to grasp the true meaning of
neutrality.-New York Herald.

Editorial Comments
on Current Subjects
DRESS REFORM IN NAVY.

DR.. j. c. Pryor, naval surgeon, wants
to abolish sailor collars, neckerchiefs,
lanyards and bell-bottomed trousers
from the navy. All are non-utiliarian,
he says, save possibly the lanyard.
THE expansion OF the trouser leg at
the lower end serves no good purpose
he argues. except to convey to the
eye the traditional picture of the
sailor" These recommendations are
bound to tear the heart of Josephus.
On the surface the advice is right in
line with his policy OF extracting the
salt from sea life and reducing "nauti-
CAL to naught.-New York Tribune.

utilities organization, which was or
ganized In a pro tempore" way at
Huntington on Monday, and which
I will hold its first annual convention
IN Charleston on June and 8, 4.
which time It is likely that more
definite and permanent organization
viii be brought about. The new or
ganigation as It stands represents
millions OF dollars in capital, and the
leading public utilities corporations in
the state of West Virginia. and could
undoubtedly yield a powerful influ-
ence for good or bad in the state.
The object OF this organization, as
set forth at the meeting at Hunting
ton, is a most worthy one and highly
rommendabIe, If carried out to a sue.
cessful and unselfish conclusion. 1t
was stated by the leaders of the new
organization that it was their aim to
work for the general betterment OF
conditions affecting public service
corporations, to promote harmony and
affcient cooperation between the cor
porations included in the organization
and the state public service commits
sion and to enlighten the people
and win their understanding and
sympathy for the great concerns which
are organized to serve them.
It reads very well, does it not? And
II the newly founded organization
sticks to it's creed with the whole
truth and nothing but the truth spirit.

some times happens that an organiza.
tion falls short OF the noble creeds
adopted at the tentative meeting, and
that in the rush for the almighty dol

lions of the initial gathering and can
think only of how to get more money
in and pay less out. 1t might be that
In time the members of this organiza-
ton would find it profitable to stand
together to fight against just tax,
which might in the course of events
be levied on any or all public service
corporations. In such an instance
they would be falling far short OF the
intentions Of the organization, as given
out to the press of the state for pub
Iication. and they would receive, no
doubt. the Just condemnation OF the
I individual tax payer. For, in such a
case, they would be carrying out only
the flrst step in their creed, namely.
3 70 work for the general betterment of
condition affecting public service cor
porationa; and they would BIO letting
: ~ to the four winds all thought of the
pther parts of the creed wherein the
general public was given careful con-
sideration.
The West virginian makes no predic-
lions as TO the future OF the organiza-
tion and as to the course which will be
i pursued, but it is to be hoped that tho
creed adopted will be carried out in
full and for the benefit OF all, rather
) than in part for the benefit OF one
side only. The future alone will tell
the significance OF the Huntington
meeting.
