FOR PRIVATE OWNERSHIP

Those good patriots who despair Of the ability of the
American people to set bounds to corporate greed
should cheer up If voters will attend strictly their
duty by eectng honest to office, the govern
ment will always be strong enough to control public
utility corporations and all other corporations, without
taking and running their business.
Public ownership is advisable in many instances,
but it has not always proved best Many attempts
ut public operation Of public utilities have proved
costly failures. Theoretically, private ownership
should be costes and least efficient but in practice
government ownership and control often give the
people less for money.
Those who advocate public ownership Of utilities
would not be satisfied with the incorporation Of utilities
In their scheme of federal ownership and operation

eiton, either in individuals in governments.
It is question whether the government should set

NEW BUILDINGS

Real estate men show sound Judgment in discussing

practicable to maintain supply OF housing accommo-

to prevent the real estate market from becoming
rously demcralzed by ill-advised construction for
which there is demand.

and that depression is brought about by frank
milton of facts. if building is being overdone When
this happens, capital is tied up and goes without return

At no time can community afford to have an acute

society. For through many of the speeches in this
late assembly at Philadelphia warning that per-

an end "Three years ago." said Leonard Ayres, "the
American people specializing in Florida real estate
and finally that bubble burst Then they speculated
in urban real estate, but city real estate prices
rapidly coming down. Now they have turned to the
stock market, and stocks selling expectation
rather than realization"
Did that disturb the public that has been running up
the prices in the stock market? Not in the least; the
market went on rising. The Federal Reserve board
has tried to hold the gamblers down, but with no sue
cess if the bankers think of reducing spectators
loans their depostors, the great corporations in which
the business Judgment of America is embodied, take
over the work and lend the money that boosts prices

sucker money in this country that are bound to be
lost somewhere now that the bottom has dropped out

A BROKEN LEG-GOOD LUCK

Sometime we never know good luck when it.
week or ago Charles Hitchcock, policeman Of
the Lake Bluff Ill., force broke his leg and had to 60
to bed Undoubtedly he bewaed his luck.
few days later Miss Elfrieda Knaak was found
burned almost to the point of DEATH in the basement
of the Lake Bluff police station She told confused
story of psychic love" for Hitchcock, and said she
had burned herself to prove her love.
Now it is obvious that the bewildered detectives,
hearing this must instantly have thought, aha! This
story is fishy. This guy Hitchcock must have had a
hand in things somewhere"
But Hitchcock for several days. had been flat on his
back in bed with broken leg. By stretch Of the
imagination could he be connected with the mysterious
burning. That broken leg just naturally saved him
from lot Of suspicion ard questioning He didn't
know how lucky he when he broke it.

Washington, Nov. 12.-In politics

The inevitable happened. The
long-starved boys out in the states

in some instances they talked so fast
and persuasively that large wads
were shipped into the most rock

Meanwhile the rank and file of
Democracy was SO convinced that
du Pont, Raskob, Bill Kenney and
a few more were eager to pay all

it's contribution money for gewgaws

When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle thought he had
written enough about Sherlock Holmes he killed him

then another. For the public demand solidly

Now Sherlock is really and finally dead. He is
killed utterly. Moreover, his occupation is gone For
