American Tobacco Company Can Have
Bnt $700,000 of Those Bonds.
State Treasurer B. R. Lacy made
the statement Monday that lie found
it necessary to scale the state bond al
lotment to the American Tobacco Co
down to $700,000, instead of issuing
the company the $1,000,000 ot bonds
for which the company bid. 1 he rea
on for this was that all the bids that
were opened May 28, having been ac
cepted at the time, when the time for
the next sale came June 10, all the
bids ooened were from North Can
Una bidders except the American To
bacco company. There is a clause of
the bond act, that requires that the
state treasurer give the preierence to
North Carolina bidders. Hence it was
necessary to allow the bids in the
state first. When this was done, t here
remained only the $700,000 to be al
lotted to the American Tobacco com
pany. Governor Kitchin was busy as
Chester signing the bonds, which are
to be gotten out by July 1. The issue
aggregates $3,430,000.

THE AMERICAN IDEA
Individualism the Keynote of Our
National Success.
Chart L. Edgar and Walton Clark of
th National Civio Federation Com
million on Municipal Ownership 8how
Why American Inctitutiona Should
Not B Abandoned at th Demand of
Socialists and Municipatizer.
The efforts of the National Civic fed
eration have resulted lu u commission
of Americans whose first iuterest In
this investigation, as in all flse, is to
do what they may to preserve and con
tlnue the American idea and American
Institutions, believing thut the high
state of civilization ami prosperity
la America justifies the American idea
and the American method aul places
the burden of proof heavily upon those
who would say another Idea aud nn
Other method would result iu Improve
ment in the condition of the jieople
Believing this to be the thought and
Intent of the membership of the com
mission aud of the committee sutior
dtnate to It. we still U-lieve that there
are Ills lu the American body pollti
that may be remedied or cured. We
believe that the remedy should lie ap
plied and the cure effected without any
unnecessary departure from the Amer
ican Idea and the American system.
We believe that the framework upou
which may lie built purity of admluis
tratlon and the highest possible good
of the citizens is In existence with US
and that It is nut necessary In the ef
fort to cure the Ills from which the
body politic mav be suffering to de
stroy that b'Xly We submit that. II v
iugr in a land where peace and pros
perity are the common lot. we must lie
very cautious of change. This does
not mean that where abuses are found
to exist they should uot be promptly
and mercilessly eradicated, but it does
mean that changes In system should
be undertaken only after conclusive
proof that such changes will result in
bettering the condition of the individ
ual. We had better lear the relative
ly few Ills we have thau subject our
selves to unknown conditions that mav
bring lu their train greater ills of
which we do not know.
Our Investigation has determined
with certainty many heretofore mooted
questions. It indicates tbe probably
correct answers to other mooted ques
tions. Where the facts are clear and
the conclusion evideut our task has
been to summarize and Indicate. Where
there is p.'tnaining uncertainty as to
facts and conclusions are not evident
we have made an effort to determine
the probabilities. This has resulted In
arguments based on such facts as our
Investigators have recorded and on our
own experience as operators and ob
servers.
We lielleve no intelligent reader of
the voluminous record of this commis
sion's work will fail to conclude that it
elcarly proves municipal ownership to
be productive of many and serious His,
With little or no compensating good.
The writers of these chapters, agree
ing, we believe, with the other members
of the committee of twenty-one, that
public service companies should reaHon-
bly be regulated and afforded the pro
tection that comes w ith regulation and
appreciating that the committee was
not appointed or constituted to consider
methods of regulation, nevertheless de
sire to record their opinion that some
form of regulation of private com
Danles should he adopted In each of
the United States. What that form
should be tliis commission I" not pre
pared by liny Investigation or any
study It has made to suggest
Finally, we who stand In opposition
to municipal ownership, speaking. We
believe, for all Individualists, arraign
the arrogance of many of its advocates
In assuming that they exclusively oc
cupy the field of reform in dealing
with the problems concerned and that
they are the sole promoters of meas
ures of economic Improvement in mur
nlclpal affairs. We assert that tbe op
ponents of municipal ownership and
operation, firm and consistent support
ers of Justice, are the class seeking the
nubile welfare intelligently and In ac
cordance with American principles. On
this point we do not yield to any body
of men.
We seek, as a first principle, to In
sure every man bis own. In doing so
and In endeavoring to protect the pub
lic against oppression and error we
find it our dnty to demonstrate the er
rors In tbe schemes of municipalize
and Socialists and to warn against the
oppression that they threaten. We are
resisting efforts to put burdens on tbe
backs of the American people. We can
not and wilt not remain silent while
the attempt Is made to thrust costly
and Impracticable projects upon cna-
rs of public service corporations
and upon the public at large.
We know the truth will out We are
confident that ultimately the American
people must appreciate at their value
the unsoundness of the arguments of
the municipal Socialists. We shall aid
hastening the day when our fellow
citizens will know through discussion
what the public of London hate been
taught bf bitter experience. London
has awakened to the perils of munict-
pallxation, as la evidenced by Its ver
dict in the recent borough and county
elections, la that great city tbe monto
tpa Users have led their fellow citizens
astray, and their dupes, finding It out;
have administered to their false guides
an overwhelming rebuke.
We individualists ore not seeking to
lead the people in strange paths. Our
aim is to. keep them In tbe paths they
have heretofore trod .-paths-? 'well
knows, alopf Which the American peo
ple have marched to heights of pros
perity and civic development not
known heretofore t the civilised
world. Along these paths have been
stumbling blocks. Our opponents are
endeavoring to persuade us the sole
responsibility for these stumbling
block rests upon our public service
system, to be remedied only by a
change of system. This we deny. We
are patiently studying tbe ways or
Justice. Municipalizes advocate ex
perimenting at enormous cost with
public funds, with the principles of lib
erty and with the Institutions of our
country. In this we stoutly refuse to
take part.
We are conservatives In believing
that It Is better to adhere to old and
tried methods based on our accepted
national principles, but radicals in the
determination to discover aud to stern
ly rebuke and rectify any injustice
which may have been developed by
the present system. As It has always
been the! function and duty of govern
ment to Insure that individuals Khali
deal Justly with their fellows. It is now
the function and duty of government
to protect the governed against injus
tice on the part ol these associations of
Individuals working under the name
of public service corporations
Any government that Is too feeble or
corrupt to control with Justice the con
duct of a public service corporation
has little prospect of being able Itself
to supply such public service with effl
cleucy and Justice. Our duty is to
elect to otlice men who have the Intel
ligence and Integrity to govern etB-
cientlv, honestly and Justly men who
can aud cvlll curb the uujust aggres
siveness of the Individual or of the vol
untary association of individuals and
who can and will compel each to bear
Its share of the burdens of government
and give In price, service or otherwise
proper consideration for special
privileges enjoyed.
Our nation Is what It is industrially
and commercially und In w-irld politics
because of the American i'Wri 1 m ti-r, de
veloped bv the most absolute individu
alism, and because of the American
corporation, developed under a govern
ment that governed, but did not trade.
Our duty Is to conserve the human
agencies that have made our country
what It is - the adventurous individual
aud voluntary assoclatlon -but not to
let them be our masters. This is the
confession f faith of the autlmuulcl-
pullzer, the anti-Socialist.
XENIA'S LOSS $90,000.
Depressing Experience of an Ohio City
With Municipal Lighting,
In response to an luuuiry in regard
to the municipal electric light plant
Mayor Bivnnau of Xeula, O., writes as
follows:
'The city paid upward of $21,000
for a light plant, aud the cost of run
ning the same was at the rate of $103
per lamp. The plant was badly run,
the operating of tbe same being in the
hands of a committee of councllmen
who were Inexperienced and, of course,
drawing no salaries, did not give it the
proper attention. All they got out of
the sale of the works was $2,500. Tbe
city afterward entered Into a contract
with a private corporation, and the
rlce now paid per lamp Is $t3."
Another authority states that the
amount ultimately Invested in the
plant was $35,000 and that the loss
when It was sold, together with the ex
cess cost of operation over what the
lighting would have cost by coutraet,
amounted to more than $90,000; In
other words, that that sum represents
the cost of the experiment.
Respectfully Submitted.
Recommended to the public utilities
commission:
First. Immediate suppression of the
surreptitious subway smoker.
Second. Municipal ownership of
apartment house Janitors.
Third. Make it unconstitutional to
play "Arawanna" or "Poor John"-between
the hours of 12 m. and 12 p. m.
Inclusive, and vice versa.
Fourth. Provide subway guards and
trolley car conductors with safety
razors.
Fifth. Free and unlimited coinage
ef lemonade. New York Mall and Ex
press. Conserve the Rights ef AIL
Thus far municipal government In
this country has not been a success,
and one of tbe duties, one ot the bur
dens, of the generation now coming on
to assume the responsibilities of citi
zenship Is the cleansing of the Augean
stables of municipal corruption and
the uplifting of the tone of state legis
lators, so that while the Interests of
the public shall be sacredly preserved
the rights and the reasonable profits
of the corporations 'enjoying public
franchises shall be carefully and Im
partially protected and maintained
Hon. William H. Taft
: Contrset Renewed.
A determined effort was made last
spring to launch Patcbogue, N. Y, into
a municipal waterworks project A
special election held to act In tbe mat
ter resulted In renewing the contract
with the company for twenty years.
The village clerk writes that the vote
was largely In favor of this action.
Beating the City Plant
fiuralites have a scheme to beat tbe
municipal plant to a frazzle. There is
no charge at Eaton Rapids for porch
lights when next to the street So out
go the lights In tbe bouse after-supper,
and the evening paper is read on the
porch in the midst of myriads of bugs.

T Wise Decision at 8parta Tnn.
: At an election held In Bparta, Tenh,
an June 27 upou tbe question of wheth
er or not the town should Issue $40,000
In bonds with which to own and op
erate a municipal electric, light and
waterworks plant the proposition was
defeated by a vote of 93 to 18. .
Deafness Cannot be Cured
Rv local annlicatinnn. m M,w
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that ia hy constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Oa the mucous lin
ing of the Eustchian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rambling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restord
to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
t he mucous surfaces,
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall 1
