Not a few expected, then to see him made president. . Whoever in this country tails to re spect a ballot box is as good as lost in the eyes of the people. He becomes in their eyes tainted with fraud, even though he be wholly innocent of any over, tact. It is the willingness to sup press the truth to defy public senti ment to subtitute force for a plain, . aboveboard count, that angers voters, and this is just where Mayor McCIel ian stands today. He made the mis take of his life when he opposed a recount. Washington, D. C-, Jan. IS By a vote of 133 to 92 the House today voted that the salaries of Senators, Repre sentatives and the delegates from Porto Rico, Hawaii and Alaska be increased to 7,500 pef 'year after March 4th, 1807, and fixing the salaries of the Vice- President. Sneaker and members of the Cabinet at 12,000. Mr. Littauer, of New York, preeipi- ' tated one of the most interesting and exciting episodes in the history of the 59th Congress when he moved to take the legislative -executive and judicial appropriation "bill -"from the Speaker's table as it had passed the Senate and. to amend the same by inserting a pro vision increasing the salary of the Vice-Presidnt,i the Speaker and mem bers of the Cabinet to $12,000 each; in crease the salaries of Senators, Rep resentatives iin' Congress and delegates from the Territories and the resident commisskttier from Porto Rico to $7, 500 each.

The bill was reported Peaches and pessimism grow in the ! favorably. The most spirited discussion was over a bill making Morganton a prohi bition town, abolishing the two or three saloons there. Bitter opposition was made to this by members ot the com mittee, who contended that the Watts and Ward laws should be followed, and the people of the city be allowed to have their will, as expressed at the election.' This view was expressed by members Grant, of Davie, Carter, of Forsyth, and Julian, .of Rowan.- Senator Davis appeared before the committe and stated that the last campaign in Burke" county was con ducted on this one issue, as to making the county prohibition, and the people, regardless f party affiliation in town and country demanded the law.

Some months ago Everybody's Mag azine sent Charles E. Russell on a tour of the world for the- investigation of economic conditions in. foreign lands, and especially for enquiry as to the manner in which the peoples of Europe, Asia and Australia are dealing with the problems which beset the people of this country. In the current issue Mr. Russell draws his conclusions from the facts and evidence already published. He says that elsewhere than in the United States men are coming to the conclusion that modern conditions and modern industrial concentration have rendered useless the old theories of gov ernment, and that for the ills modern conditions create, two things must be done : First, to substitute the interests of the community for the interest of the fortunate or powerful individual. Sec ond, to restrain greed, not by regu lating it, but by making impossible some of its most obvious and dangerous operations. He states the public owner ship achievements in a nutshell: "In the British towns they did not think it enough to limit the plunders that gas companies and traction com panies might take from the public ; they did away with the plunder by doing away with the companies. In Germany and Switzerland they did not think it enough to tell the corporations to be good and stop lurking in dark alleys with sandbags for the defenceless citizens ; they took away the sandbags and fenced up the dark alleys and made it impossible for corporations to operate except in broad daylight and under the eye of a policeman. All about Europe they did not think it enough to declare that meat packfers should not furnish disease!" or rotten meat except under the official seal of the government ; they, did away with these disease germs by doing away with the private packing house. In England they did not think it enough to regulate telegraph rates ; they abol ished the graft of watered stock and extortionate charges by abolishing the telegraph companies. In Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, all about Europe, they did not stop to bother with flabby and fictitious laws purporting to forbid rebates and railroad swindles ; they put an end to rebates and swindles by making the railroad an instrument fer the commc n good instead of an instrument for pri yate gain. In London the county council was ot content to tell property owners to build nice tenement houses for their "tenants ; it bought the land and built the tenements itself. . In other words, the substance of all these raaighty movements around the world has been to create conditions under which a part, at least, of the predations of wealth would be impossi ble. ' . .. Now, it is a significant fact that none of these peoples are dissatisfied with this new order of things, or clamor to return to the old order. Simply as business propositions, without regard to theory or sentiment, their arrange ments are regarded as sound. The spirit of the common good, with its tremendous and almost unknown possi bilities, has led them into what they feel to be the right track, and to a de liverance from the grinding power of private wealth, and the eruel exactions and injustices of paying dividends upon the watered stock of vast corporations and trusts. Mr. Russell cites the item of govern ment railroad ownership. I n the be ginning practically all railroad enter prises were owned by private capital. In 3:800 there were 167,813 miles of-gov- ernment railroads in the world, out side of the United States. Since that year Switzerland.Italy and Japan have taken over their privately owned lines, and the principle of government ownership has been extended every where, so that in 1906 there were 220,- 750 miles (outside the United States) owned by government and only 91, 946 miles owned by private companies. It seems likely from present indica tions, he 'says, that in a few more years there will be , hardly a mile of privately owned railroad in .all Europe except possibly Spain. , , These things will not come to us in a day. But the world moves. The good of the many cannot always be subordi nated or sacrificed to the good or gain of the tew. And the. experiment of Great Britain, Europe,' Japan, Aus tralia and New Zealand in the State, ownership of public utilities sufficient ly dissipates the argument "it can't be done." ".'
