MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP WINS Ei DITOR FISHER of tho Salem 9 Capital Journal is ono of tho ' able newspaper men of Oregon who regards his paper as a quasi public institution and devotes It to I ho best Interests of tho communi ty Whllo ho was publisher of tho Eugeno Guard ho battled long and loyally for municipal ownership of tho water and electric light plants of that city, so that his comment or. tho recent purchase of tho Ore gon Power Company plant In Eugeno by tho city. Is written with complete knowledgo of tho mattor. Hero Is what ho says: "Tho nowa of tho purchase of tho local distributing system pf tho Oregon Power Company at Eugeno by tho municipal plant of that city has been given out. This ends a long fight of tho city against one of tho strong est private corporations in this country with a complete vic-t tory for tho people "When tho peoplo of Eugeno entered upon a program for tho ownorshlp of thulr light, power and water plants, thoy met opposition of tho most bit ter and obstinate kind, at the polls whoro bonds wero pro posed and m tho courts, on ev ery possible pretext. Tho cat tor of the Capital Journal was then editor aud publisher 01 tho Eugene- Dally Guard and for six years led tho fight against a niultl-mlllloualre corporation, winning every legal mid polit ical contost during tho time. "The water s)stom was first acquired by puruhaso and next an oleutrlo power and light plant was Installed, whloh proved a succors from tho start. Tho lighting rate was out from 16 cents per kilowatt to S cents, and oven at that rate tho plant was a great money maker, tak ing care of bondod interest, providing for a sinking fund, aud laying up a largo cash bal ance each quartor. This en ables tho water board now to buy out its rtvnl, paying $50, 000 in cash out of marued prof its, which will bo largely In creased with tho rival corpora tion disposed of. No additional bond Issuo wag nocoassry in or der to acqulro tho proporty for tho city. The editor of tho Capital Journal is ploasod nt tho out come in Eugene bocause of tho promlnout part he took in tho fight for tho right of tho peo ple to mauago tholr own uffnlrs in u buslnoss-llko wy. Tho outcome has vindicated his judgmout. 'It Is an objoct les son of what any community may do when tho people ut the head of Its affairs, hacked by an in dependent and honest pres, go ahead to work out municipal problems with tho saino Intelli gence and earnestness that is given to tho managomout of pri vate business operations.

For those persons have their peculiar leading principle and follow their peculiar movement; which things do not thou rcgnrd, but go straight on, following thy own nature und tho common nature, and tho way of both Is one. Marcus 'Aurollus. 4 CHEERING SOMEONE ON Don't you mind about tho triumphs, Don't you worry about fame; Don't you grieve about succeeding, Iot tho futuro guard your name. All tho best in life's tho simplest, Love will last when wealth Is gono; Just bo glad that you arc living, And keep cheering someono on. i i Let your nolghbor have tho blossoms I Let your comrades wear tho crown; Never mind tho little sot-backs Nor tho blows that knock you down. You'll bo there when thoy'ro forgot- f ten. You'll bo glad with youth and dawn, , If you just forget your troubles And keep cheering someono on. There's a lot of sorrow round you, Lots of lonosomcness and tears; Lots of henrtaoho and of worry Through tho shadows of tho years. And tho world needs moro thau tri umphs; More than all the swords wo'vo drawn, It Is hungering for tho fellow Who keeps cheering others on. Let tho wind urouihl you whlstlo And tho storms around you play; You'll bo hero with brawn and grls tlo Yhon tho conquerors decay. You'll bo hero In momorlos sweet ened 'in the souls you'vo saved from pawn If you put nsldo tho victories And keep cheering someone on.
