MUNICIPAL
E,
Public
Ownership Success
Fleeting Vision.
British Municipal Traction Systems
Offer No Appeal or Argument to the
American Workman Starvation
Wages and Overcrowded Tenements
Are Among the Evils Which Make
Possible the So Called "Relief of the
Rates."
It Is a Bomewlmt puzzling problem
why certain persons In the bureau of
manufactures at Washington seem do
llghted to pick out from the consular
reports so many of (he uncritical and
optimistic statements furbished up by
speclul pleading in regard to the oper
ation of street railways In Europe by
public olllcluls. lieport No. 3,270 of
Kept. 11 last, contained 110 less than
three reports from England on street
railway operation, besides u general
article on the ninnagement of public
utilities In Germany. To the uninform
ed reader it inlwht appear from the
leading of these reports that they
showed a certain degree of success on
the part of the municipal oltiVluls, who
do their own booUkeeplug mid draw
their own modest deductions as to
what they have aceoimillshed. Tim
Slightest analysis, however, puts nil
those cases of municipal operation In
the list of ilnaneinl or economic fail
ures, and there ought to be some one
In the department of state or the bu
reau of manufactures who would ei
ther take out the partisan color in
theso documents or Insist that the cou
buIs Kbould reveal the truth.
Even Willi tho best light put ou
theso report; it is naively admitted
that the Belfast system hml broken
down because of the unfortunate lim
itations Imposed by the act of parlia
ment In which t'10 city was empower
ed to purchase end operate the system
that it should be self supporting and
that no money should be taken for
tramway purposes from any other
fund. The receipts did not meet ex
penses, and li became necessary to
raise fares along the lino. The com
panies In lluddcrsficld mid Manchester
made a Bomewlmt belter showing upon
tho face of the llgmes, but examina
tion showed that their financial suc
cess was due to rates of wages which
would not be tolerated In tills country,
lu Iludd.nstleld It Is stated that "the
430 regular employees receive a week
ly wage of $2,'-':!!)." This would work
out at $r.20 per week per employee.
This would amount to -70.4(1 per
capita per year and would require an
' expenditure of $Utl,;i2S. lu the United
States us far back us the census report
of 1!)02 lt!.:i:i8 motoi'ineu in cities of
600,000 and over received tutnl wages)
of $10,r0!Mrti. This works out at $012
per man, or about 2i0 per cent of the
average wanes paid all employees In
ltmldorstleld. If the Bclontlllc sound
ness of dividing life average number
of employees by the uinount paid Is
called lu question we have the assur
ance of the census report that the
median rate for all motoraien In the
OMtta aata 12 to S2.04 Der day.
The significant fuct, from e nnau
t'lal point of view, Is that if wages hi
lluddersflold had been raised to the
average wages of lnrge cities lu this
country the surplus of $200,209 above
operating cost would have been more
than half wiped out and the demands
for Interest, redemption of debt and
depreciation account could not have
been met. liven as It was, with wages
ground down to the starvation mini
mum, there was a surplus after
charges and allowances of $31,700,
which, with lino Irony, Is applied un
der the English system "to the relief
of the geueral rates." Evidently the
motormeii who ore receiving the
princely wages of-75 cents per day are
dolug their Hhure toward the "relief
of the general rates," but may get a
part of the money back If they become
charges on the city.
If the advocate of municipal opera
tion takes refuge behind the claim that
conditions uro different 'In England
from those In this country, the claim
may be freely udmltted. lint in milk
ing such n claim he abandons his case.
The sole object In presenting alluring
pictures of low fares and apparent sur
plus earnings ou the English lines is to
convince the American public that sim
ilar results could bo obtained here. If
the comparison contains no such sug
gestion, then It tias no practical bear
ing on the effort to secure municipal
operation in this country and is of the
same academic Interest as an essay on
caravan routes In Mesopotamia In the
time of llolshazzar. It Is quite true
that conditions in England differ radi
cally from those In this country and
that many of tho features of English
municipal operation would not be tol
erated for one moment by the Ameri
can public. Tho fares graded accord
ing to distance make short rides cheap,
but long ones dear. They tend to con
gest the population In the tenement
districts, whllo our system of a uni
form fare tends to development of sub
urban property and the distribution of
the working masses where they can
Hud 11 lr and sunlight.
Even In mien a matter as claims for
Injuries the Ilndderstleld traction sys
tem protects Itself behind an Insurance
company and leaves the company to
fight the claims as resolutely 08 Its In
teiest naturally demands. Municipal
operation Is far from having proved a
success abroad, and if It had attained
success abroad this would be far from
proving the possibility of Its success In
the United States. To obtain 0 nomi
nal surplus by keeping wages of oper
atives down to 7." cents per day will
hardly appeal to any part of tho Amer
ican public.- Commercial and Finan

Story of an Islund.
The recent gift to the government
fcy Mrs. Russell Sage carries with it
more than a bit of land surrounded by
the waters of the .Hudson, for It adds
to the government possessions at his
toric West Point an Island with a
unique history. Constitution Island
has long been one of the show places
of the lower Hudson. Formerly It was
pointed out to the stranger as a place
of Interest almost equal to that at
taching to the homo of Washington
Irving and tho cnstle of Edwlu For
rest, the tragedian, lying farther down
the river. On this island lived and
died 'Susan Warner, author of "The
Wide, Wide World" and "Queechy," Hie
first a novel that has been called the
most popular work of an American
author, excepting "Uucle Tom's Cab
In." Miss Warner wroto other books, sev
eral In collaboration with her sister,
Anna Rartlett Warner, who Is asso
ciated with Mrs. Sage In the gift to
the government. Rut upon her first
effort, "The Wide, Wide World," the
fame of Susan Warner rests. A dis
tinguished French critic called atten
tion (luring Its vogue to the fact that
this novel was simply the history of
the moral progress of a girl thirteen
years old, yet Its literary art was so
great that It really won the whole
world for an audience. It was a mat
ter of sentiment on the part of Anna
Burtlett Warner that the ownership of
this Island remained In tho family un
til a chance offered to annex It to
West Tolut. When ber sister died
there In 1885 she was burled, as she
had wished, In a grave near the Cadet
monument In West Tolnt cemetery.
There is peculiar fitness, thou, In the
Island becoming a part of the West
rolnt reservation.
Japan and Our Merry Tars.
There is probably more horse sense
than moral sentiment back of that "lid"
which Japan will put on in Yokohama
when the Yankee tars of the battle
ship fleet start lu to "do the town."
What serve there tho purpose of dance
house and saloon In all other ports of
the world w ill be closed, strong drink
will be banished, and the good time
provided for the visiting bluejacketa
will not be likely to stir up ugly blood
in either foreigner or native.
This action of the Japanese authori
ties will go u long way toward remov
ing Incitement to street rows, which
usually occur when foreign snllors are
lu port. The mass of the Japs are
kuown to be very sensitive lu the mat
ter of fraternisation with peopla of
the west, and our suborn go fresh
from our Pacific coast cities and from
Australian ports, where hostility to the
Asiatics Is openly avowed. Sailors are
very human, and men In the nary,
whether afloat or ashore, always act
upon the notion that the dignity of
the flag they serve uuder Is In their
keeping. 1W1 narrowly escaped war
with Cbilt In 1S00 as the sequel to a
street row between our sailors and
some Chileans In Valparaiso. Acute
International feeling was behind that
Incident
It is calculated that a comet now ap
proaching the naked vision of the In
habitants of the enrth will be Identi
fied as the celebrated comet of 1682,
which bears the name of the eminent
English astronomer Edmund Halley,
who correctly predicted Its return In
1788 and 1835. There are eighteen
comets whose periodicity la establish
ed by the fact that their return has
been actually observed, and Halley's
la one of these. He identified the com
et of 1082 with that of 1456, 1531 and
1C07, and it has since been identified
as a periodical visitor from the begin
ning of our era.
The Thaw case Is not likely to dis
appear from the courts until It rests
upon Its legal status. Thaw was ac
quitted of crime and adjudged Insane;
hence his proper place seems to be an
institution for the Insane and not one
for the detention and disciplining of
criminals. In an asylum be will be
allowed to enjoy whatever privileges
his conduct under such confinement
seems to warrant .- '
Families having $3,000 to "put up"
for one year's rent of six to twelve
rooms can now Indulge their New
yorkltls to their hearts' content in
Manhattan's newest apartment house.
The fact that 172 families will find
shelter under one roof Is not calculated
to check the disease at all, for In New
York It's "the more the merrier."
Uncle Sam doesn't hesitate nowa
days to be an Iconoclast and has just

O YOU THINK the postman will
leave at your door, next" New Year's
Morning, a $12,000 check? iThat
very thing would happen every year
of your life had yon invested $1,000 in Mun
sey's Magazine when that enterprise was
young. But of the thousands who listened to
the Munsey Idea, few had faith in it. These
few are the ones who every year, receive
twelve times their original investment in div
idends. Perhaps you would have passed up
the Munsey Idea. Perhaps you will pasi up
the Bonville Idea. You will also, some day,
look back to the neglected opportunity of in
vesting $100 wheje it would have yielded you
a comfortable living for the remainder of your
life. You may also be one of the few who
will grasp the idea that will yield such reward as befell
the Munsey faithful. Back of the Bonville Idea is a
half-million dollar guarantee, subscribed by substantial
business men. The great work that guarantees great
success is accomplished. The few dollars that are
required to perfect the undertaking will be furnished
by those who dare to be leaders not by those who
pursue a lifelong journey in beaten paths. You may
be such an one. If so you are invited to investigate,
f)ossibly you may go away convinced that the Bonville
dea, in the magazine world, is greater thanlhe Mun
sey Idea. Perhaps you may return to back your con
viction with an investment of $100, $200, or even $1000
aVery person without a single exception who reads this should resolve to give a single
hour to looking into a proposition such as presents itself but once in a life time.
