XLbc flHormno Star WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Thursday Morning, j April 13. SOME VIEWS OP MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. The Chicago election last-week with the issue of municipal owner-. ship of public utilities, including street railways, has stirred up a variety of comment. The election was carried by Judge Dunne, Democrat, 'whose platform was for immediate purchase and opera tion of all public utilities, and on Monday the' new mayor was in stalled in office to; carry out! his platform as authorized by the vote of the people of Chicago. I What of municipal ownership t Republican and Democratic j pa pers are divided on the wisdom of the experiment can papers are divided on j the question, many heartily approving it, however. The New York Jour- nal of says: Commerce of Monday, ! "Judge Edward F. Dunne, who becomes Mayor ofj Chicago to-day for the purpose of : putting the mu nicipal ownership! of street rail ways into immediate, or at least the earliest possible, - operation, made a preliminary visit to this city to enlighten jits people upon his plans and encourage them to the adoption of the same policy. Judge Dunne gave us a rose-color ed view of what has been done in that line in other countries) a view which is not held by many who are much more familiar with the matter than he is yet, and showed a cheerful confidence in what he is going to acomplish in Chicago, which reminds one of the counsel of the King of Israel to the King of Judah: Let not him that gird- eth on the harness boast himself as. he that putteth it off," There is great danger jthat the high hopes of the people who have elected him will be disappointed ! At all events, the! mere fact of his election on this issue and of his I sanguine calculations should not be taken as an encouragement for imitating his experiment before it has been tried. Better wait and - see how trying it on Chicago works. "The occasion 3 an appropriate one for pausing to consider what is the rear impulse behind the movement for municipal owner ship in this country, which has brought it support in unexpected places'. It is not a demonstration that the service f public utilities cannot be performed more em ciently, more economically and at less cost to the people by private enterprise under jpublie franchises than by direct municipal author ity. No argument in favor of the former and against the latter has been refuted by experience. The most that can be. claimed is that private enterprise has in fact fail ed to give a satisfactory service at reasonable cost. But why - is this so? Not because it could not be done, but because franchise privileges have been abused and -franchise obligations disregarded, that those who promoted and ma nipulated public utility corpora tions might reap inordinate profit from the city. This lesson is be ing impressed just now by the lighting investigation in this city. and it might be drawn with equal force from a full revelation of the past doings of traction compa nies. The ' New York World (Dem. ) makes this observation "It may amuse our conservative friends to explain the Chicago election, as the fNew York Times does, on the theory that "in this great city of the j West a large por tion of the electorate is in a semi wild state so far as economic the ory and practice are concerned.' Uut this kind of explanation de ceives nobody eicept the people whose eyes should be opened wid est to the real significance of it all. Judge Dunne's j election was ony an incident in a widespread revolt against corporation control of government and; corporation abuse oi public necessities. It is a re -volt that is spreading with amaz ing rapidity.!" j The Chattanooga Times throws out this for contemplation: j "Among the I blessings munici pal ownership at Chicago holds out is the pledge that every man; woman and child who wants to ride, on the eity street cars 'shall have a seat or ride free, and that clearly indicates the probable fin ancial failure of the public owner- snip idea. The Weary Wrtlias. dead beats and 1 nickel squeezers' will always be found waiting for tne crowded, ears. : Lots of embar rassing details about the munici .- pal idea people don 't think of un til they get it end free privileges to partisan henchmen and -politi cai Dumes may De one or. them. .THE SOUTH . BOUND, EAIL- 'WAY. The result : of the . election in Winston-Salm on Tuesday shows that the people of that city are in earnest about the projected South Bound" railway; the coal carrying road which jOoL Pries and his aa- sociates propose to build. f" e $100,000 carried ll proposition io vote to the road war onrriA overwhelming ima jority. t .Wilmington j and , Sonthr also in earnest Snv Tnol delegation consisting of M Smallbones, representing the Wil mington Chamber of - Commerce, and Messrs. C. Ed. Taylor and W. II. Pyke, representing the South port Chamber of j Commerce, were in Winston-Salem ; and ; presented to Col. Fries the advantages of Southport as a terminus and coal ing station. We are glad the unamDers or. uommerce ox - Wil mington and Southport ; sent up this delegation, for it shows that this part of North" Carolina is alive to the importance of Col. tries road. They have acted promptly and their claims will be considered. The Newbern Journal of Tues- day, says : v The revival jt interest in Southport, N. C. as a coaling sta- tion, is! but the" natural return to a place which for many years, at intermittent- periods, has R been shown to the shipping and trade world, as the place for such"a sta tion. Geographically and 5 physi cally Southport is an ideal loca tion. It has not only "plenty of water for harbor and anchorage purposes, but the Cape Fear bar is only limited to its depth, so far as mechanical aid will deepen it for maritime needs. The climate is ideal becausej of its health giv ing and non-malarial properties, It is never too hot in Summer or too cold in Winter. The revival of the interest in Southport, and the fresh putting forth of its claims as a coating station,: has at this time the support of the city of Wilmington This is a force which ought to prove of immense means of securing aid, and be the the railroad connection which has been the crying 'need, in order that Southport might be in direct com muni cation with the coal fields of Tennessee or Virginia, I or ? even those of North Carolina J" S : TWINKLINGS. . - r- An Osier Convert "Kin ye give an old tramp 10 Cents, mum ?""
