MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

In recent poll of country news
papers conducted by the Industrial News
Review, the following question was asked !:
DO you believe that government or
municipal ownership of the electrical in
dustry would give more progressive, more
efficient or cheaper seryice-tax exemp-
ton and Reconsideration of government
projects being taken into consideration? ?"
The editors voted as follows: Yes,
1913. No. 1,040.
During the 54-year history of the
electric utility industry in the United
States and while electric service has been
brought to practically every hamlet, vii
lage and city, public ownership has had
ample opportunity to demonstrate it's eff
cheney and its advantages
A total of nearly 1000 municipal cleo
trio systems have been established at one
time or another since 1882. The greatest
number of municipal electric utilities in
existence at one time was 3,077 in the
year 1928 But only do not generate
their own power but buy it from private
companies.
Today, after years of experience and
despite the arguments of the advocates of
public ownership only Ga per cent of the
electricity used by the customers of this
country isasold by municipality owned
plants.
Municipal ownership hasIfailed; after
Sd years, to convince the people of the
United States that it is necessary or de-
sirable

A RoCUE's NAME LIVES

Hundreds of thousands of stately der

and many other thousands of smaller
hosting devices also bear the name of

famous hangman. sssaslssi 5u.aso 4
,lt.ai When Robert Earl Of Essex, ia
1vorite of Queen Elizabeth of England, aided
in the capture Of Cadiz, SPAIN in 1896,
some sailors under his command engaged
in the pillage of the city, even making at
tacks upon Spanish women.
Twenty-four of the culprits were con-
demned to death, but no one wanted to be
the executioner. Essex thereupon par
doned one of them, a sailor named Der
rick, in consideration of his hanging the
other %, which he proceeded to do.
Derrick evidently did good job of
it, for upon his return to England he was
made hangman at the famed Tyburn pri-
son in London. In the meantime Essex had
incurred the sdisfayor of the queen, and
had made a feeble attempt to mcitc
revolution against her. He was tried aud
condemned to death. 9

Derrick had the painful duty of behead-
ing the man who had pardoned him in
Cadiz five years before, and he welded
the axe as skillfully as he had hitherto
manipulated the moose.
But his name became synonym for
hangman, and by extension to gallows
or other hosting device. Thus the useful
derrick came to be so called.

OUR QUEER LANGUAGE

In plan for greater consistency, a
spelling reformer has called attention to a
few of the many vagaries displayed in
English spelling and pronunciation.
The sound of long "a for example,
is represented in many different ways, as
a in lady, al in rain, eign in reign, ay in
pay, Ell in veil,, ey iii UhSypeye in obeyed,
ca in great, Gin gaol Eau in gauge, ag in
champagne, aig in campaign aigh in
straiGht,s and aisiRzMait.s s.sssnzsM
Other sounds are represented by an
almost eqdal syarietyl Of .spelHngs Words
pronounced alike1haYe different meanings,
such as right-rite- write-wright, to-too-two,
oh-owe, and many others. Words spelled
alike may mean entirely different things,
such as row, bow, lead, saw and so on.
These peculiarities have to do merely
with photography. When the other in
Vulnerable Inconsistencies of the language
are considered, the wonder is that anyone
ever learns to speak and write English
correctly.
AS matter of fact, hardly anyone
ever does.
