People Own Most Of the
s Utilities

Carl d. jackson, chairman of the Wisconsin
Railroad Commission, is quoted as saying:
"The actual ownership of most public utili-
ties is by the people themselves. The first liens
on most public utilities are very often owned by
trust companies, banks, and largely by insur-
ance companies throughout the United States.
Nearly every man carries an insurance policy.
The average citizen has a bank account, yet
not one citizen out of a hundred realizes that
in one form or another his actual savings and
insurance and his wife's and children's welfare
depend upon the solvency and continued opera
ton of public utilities. There is probably not
one man in fifty whom we meet on che street
who does not own a part of a public utility,
whether he knows it or not. So the questions
relating to public utilities are not confined to
the consumers on one side and the public utiIi-
ties as such on the other, but the whole question
is one involving financially nine-tenths of the
entire population. Furthermore, public utilities
should not only be solvent in themselves, but
there should still remain a reasonable incentive
to reasonable development along the lines to be
demanded by future generations. Nothing
should take place in this country to discourage
individual and collective efforts along progress
sive lines"

Tolbert May Get Republican
Plum.

Greenwood, April 2S.-According
to those in close touch with dispens-
ers of Republican patronage in this
state, the appointment of R. Red Tol-
bert of Abbeville county as United
States marshal for the Western dis
trict of South Carolina is almost a
certainty now that Maj. ]. F. Jones
of Blacksburg has been appointed to
be collector of internal revenue.
Mayor Jones is allied with the Toll
bert faction of the Republican party
in this state.
The appointment of collector has
been between Major Jones and Mr..
Tolbert, it is understood, and now
that Major Jones is collector, Mr.. Toll
bert is slated for the marshalship.
1t is stated on good authority that
the appointment of Mr.. Tolbert will
be made in short time. Charles j.
Lyon, at present marshal, has not re-
signed, but it is rumored that is res
ignation has been asked for or that
it has been intimated to him that his
resignation will be acceptable.

New Tunnel Through the Al Ips.

New Tunnel Through the Alps.
The Alps new tunnel, great I'M
dertaking of drilling from Switzer-
land into Italy, begun 20 years ago.
was completed last month, when the
Inst stone of the roof of the second
tunnel was placed in position by repre-
sentatives Of Switzerland and Italy.
After the ceremony the party went
to Iselle and placed a wreath on the
memorial stone to 90 workmen killed
during the work of the second tunnel.
This new Slmplon tunnel was pierced
simultaneously with the first tunnel
to facilitate the aeration of the work
inrs. But It's transformation from
mere gallery ike an international
high road was started only in De-
cember 1912. Colossal difficulties were
encountered in making the first tun-
mel. Great hot springs had to be har-
messed and canalized. At spot about
2ih miles from the italian opening
the rock pressure was so great tina,
"a months was spent in advancing
the boring so yards at a cost of $780,
600. Each tunnel is 121s miles long,
of which 5l5 miles is on Swiss ter
ritory. The first tunnel, including the
gallery for the second, cost approx.
mately S17,5OO,OO0. The estimated
cost Of the second was s6750,0OO.

Three Hundred Miles on a
Gallon of Oil.

The day is close at hand when ev.
cry man and woman will be equipped
with his and her own automobile
when the workman on the way to the
shop, the saleswoman on the way to
the department. store; maybe the
child on the way to school, will

The story in the paper Friday
the Associated Press telegram from
Syracuse-about the Elmer invention
in part points that way. H. H. Elmer
has hit upon an engine which will
send an automobile three hundred
miles on a gallon of fuel costing five
and half cents.
We are told that internationally
known engineering experts, includ-
ing Arthur West, chief engineer of
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation,
have inspected Mr.. Elmer's engine,
and are said to have pronounced it
hundreds of years ahead of times.
The full sized models were tested be-
fore the directors Thursday. One of
the models, a one cylinder, three
horse power engine, run continuous
ly for eighteen hours on one and one
quarter pints of fuel, the directors
stated. The fuel used is oil, either
mineral, animal or vegetable. No ig-
milton or carburetor is used. One of
Mr.. Elmers' models has attained
speed of from $500 to 5000 revolu-
tons a minute, he claims. The prin-
ciple of the discovery is based on the
chemistry of oil, according to Mr..

ApoIoaized to Journalists.

"f19 3s Cd federal income tax re-
funded to three journalists on H. NJ.

report Of the commonwealth auditor
general closes the story Of an amusing
display of red tape on the occasion of
the visit of the prince of Wales to
Australia. With the heir to the i'm
peria' throne were three eminent news
paper men who furnished the United
Kingdom with graphic news of the
welcome and of Australia's great pos
sibilities. From the prime minister
down to the train guard, every one
recognized the sweet uses of this ad-
vertisement-every one but a Jealous
income tax official. Before the en-
thusiastic visitors could step back on
the battle cruiser Renown they were
presented with little tax bill, esti-
mated on what they were believed to
have earned by their contributions
while in Australia to their newspapers
in Britain. They paid, but dropped a
satirical comment in the ear of an
friend. That comment
went straight to the heart of the prime
minister, whose fiery comments on the
tax department appeared in an expur-
gated form IN smiling and sympa-
thetic press, and the visiting journal
Ists received handsome apologies and
checks for the amounts paid. All Of

Here, summarized, are Mrs. Roberta
Menges' views Of matrimony:
"Wifely extravaganza Is merely self,
defense. Why? Because with all the
amateur 'yamps' that are running
about these days the woman who
helps her husband save money is mere
ly laying up a bankroll for another
woman to spend.
"For every woman who loses her
husband because she Is at fault there
are a thousand who lose their hus-
bands because the men themselves are
at fault.
ut takes a year to discover what
man really is; and the woman who
can get on with a man for a year
can find him compatible forever.
'There is man, the right man, too,
for every woman. If she puts herself
out little she can get two.
"Girls, go out and be seen If you
want husbands.
"Wives, always smile, if you die
doing it.
"Never complain; don't make him
jealous or he will get tired and quit.
"If your husband is flirting a little,
pretend not to know about it. Why
look for trouble?

love you in the beginning they will
love you in the end."-Chicago Amer

.sWhat Are You Doing With

Ex-Secretary of the Navy Jose

ers at the recent unveiling of the
monument to Booker T. Washington
at Tuskegee, Alabama. He says that
the thing that perhaps impressed MN
most about his visit was the practl-
cal. horse-sense talk colored woman
made to the Negroes at meeting
held in connection with the unvelllng.
This is what she told them:
"In the old days the owners OF
slaves found slavery profitable to
them. That is why they owned slaves
and why they opposed emancipation
How did they make slave profitable
to them? They did three things:
1. They made the slaves get up and
get out early in the morning,
2. They made them work after they
got out in the morning.
8. They made them come IN al
night and go to bed and get their
nights sleep.
Now, every Negro who hears me- NJ
owns a Negro-you own yourselt
You can make that ownership Oh
Negro as profitable to yourself as tns
slave owner made the slave prohtaOi'
to him. How can you do it!

and out in the morning.

3. Make the Negro you own com

AS Mr.. Daniels said, "This is jus

and every white man ought to say
himself: "I own a white man and
