C., March 8, 1907. CIVIC BEAUTf A PLEAS- URE AND NECESSITY. The stereopticon lecture delivered in this city last week, while in the nature of an advertisement for the company under whose auspices it was given, yet to the person who is a believer in civic beauty; who takes a local pride in a clean city, and desires local better ments, the lecture and views presented were most instructive. It is the con trast between two objects, under dif ferent conditions, that is always of in terest. It is the "before and after taking" that makes the value of the goods. New Bernians are great travelers, and admirers of civic beauty. They will go away for weeks and months, and live in cities where streets and walks are perfect, where cleanliness reigns in street, ally and premises. They will enjoy these civic pleasures elsewhere, and yet remain indifferent, so far as action goes, when they return home, and view the local disorder as regards their own walks, streets, alleys and vacant lots. If civic order and cleanliness is a pleasure away from home, how much more should they be at home. Good streets and walks, always free from trash. Clean alley ways and back lots, these are not merely a joy and comfort to every one, but they are a positive neces sity, taking them from an economic and hygienic standpoint The pride which every citizen must take in a well ordered city, is not less from the sense of pleas ure, than it is the actual saving in tax es and health. There is economy in or -dn, ard waste in disorder. It is not too much to say that if an examination is made into the accounts of a score or more cities, that it will be found that the citizens whose' communities can re- joice in a civic pride, because of the order and cleanliness, will be found sub ject to less expense, than the people of those places where bad streets and -' walks, and untidy premises and disord . ered alley ways are to be found. Civic beauty is not a fad. It is a necessity, and that pleasure is given to those liv ing in cities, which can boast of a local beauty, makes more urgent the de mand that ugliness and disorder, un cleanliness and unhealthy conditions, be removed, for it cannot be a question of the slight tax increase, if there is even cause for this, when the many local betterments are to be considered. reds of thousands of gallons of water waste A would ;v daily ' be -saved. Not only would, there Be a sav ing in this, but if the change was made to electric motors, there could be se cured a revenue, that is now not known. It would save the water waste, and make the lectric part of the city's ownership a revenue producer, while at present it is a source of loss. Up to the present, the water department has had to bear the entire burden of the expen ses of municipal ownership. This bur den Ins been in earning money to cover its own expenses, and providing as far as possible', the deficits caused by the electric light department. The time has come for a change. Mo tive power is wanted throughout the city. The water supply is not going to meet this demand. The electric light department, with additions, can be made to furnish this motive power, and provide a reliable power, day and night, at the same time giving lights, a power that will assure light at night, all nicht and every night. A business management of the electric light sys tem, providing day and night currents, giving motive power as wanted, means that the city will have a revenue where it gets none at present, and losing no thing from its water revenue for the present waste offsets all revenues, the citj will have its water and light serv ice in shape to meet all demands, and prove asourc3 of profit to the city. Now is the time to make this change. It means thousands of dollars saved to tax payers, besides the value of these properties to those who use them and to have them in perfect order. SHORT TALKS BY L. T. COOPER. RHEUMATISM J.AWSBNCK TUSCANY. WHAT MOTIVE POWER IS NEW BERN 10 FURNISH CONSUMERS ? With the shifting in the con'rol of the municipal utilities, of Water nd Light, there should be greater consider ation given to how those who are using, or those who may want to' use, motive power, are to be supplied. . The Journal has before this suggested the meter system for the water supply. This has been urged as too costly. But the amount of water that flows through hydrants, is used by. various water motors, for fans or other things, much of it without paying a cent to the city is appaling. It is not alone in the wa ter waste, but there is the cost of pro ducing this water, and the expense to be added of wear and tear, to machin ery, and the gradual using up of the prater supply. It does not need any special argu ment to prove that water, as a motive power, ought to be changed to a motive power from electiicity. ' The season is near it hand when an extra drain will be made upon the city's water supply, both for power purposes, and for store ead household uses. There will be no extra revenue from these demands, but Cera will be an added cost to the city to t"ve the water. There will be days - " if '! will cause the main pres 1 f 'I so low, that a sudden fire ; ? immense destruction of j it c 'ii! Iter " t on . ( 1 fi' e i r CORPORATE MANAGEMENT VS STOCKHOLDERS' RIGHTS. The investigation before the Inter state Commerce Commission, of the acts of those in charge, or having con trol in the management of the railroads of the country, reveals a shocking con dition of so-called "finance." And like the Harriman showing, there is no apparent shame on the part of those who juggle with properties, that may belong to others, and in which Wo men and estates for orphans have in vested their money, not for speculative purposes, but for the earnings which a provious honest conduct of the proper ties have shown. Today, what does any stockholder know what may be -done with the railroad in which he or she may hold stock or bond3? No rail road property is secure today against the financiers who may seek to wreck it. Its trade may be directed to some other road. Its equipment fall into bad order, and from a dividend payer, it will be so conducted that even its run ning expenses will not be met, and its reports show a deficit.' And while the stockholders may thus be robbed, those in the party conduct ing the wrecking will quietly convey the plunder of niillions of dollars to their own private uses and accounts, at the same time having control of the property wrecked, prepared to again place it in good condition, to restore it as a dividend payer, and ask the public to buy itsrstock and bonds for invest ment, -i' Between the power of the interstate commerce commission and the rights of the'1 stockholder to protect his own property, this open and shameless stock jobbery and wrecking of great railroads, ought to be held in check in the future. The first sign of "financiering", in a railroad property, ought to be the sig nal for stockholders to call a meeting, and demand full information on the sub ject. If it is shown to be a purely speculative scheme, then every, officer in the scheme should Joe forced to re sign at once. Unless some protective method is taken by stockholders, they should not complain, if their property is made the football of a "ring", who will toss it back and forward, for the "ring's" exclusive profit. But whether some action on the part of stockholders is taken or not, those who now have their money in corporate properties, are entitled to court pro tection. And as the investigations are revealing the work of those m corpor ate management, the insecurity of any property, if those in charge shall de sire to wreck it for their own benefit, those who have the great bulk of the railroad properties in this country, will find they will be held accountable, and failing to prove true to their office of trust, may be subjected to something worse than a reprimand by a court. The innocent may . suffer for a time, but it will be a terrible day when those who have seen their honest savings taken away from them through Wall Street financiers. The railroad plun derer may have more to lose than just the spoils of the wieckage taken from Innocent investors. Old Mr. Rheumatism hangs oa tight and bkes and pinches when he takes hold. . It's quite a job to shake him off. It's hard to .be lieve that all the pain and trouble he muses comet 'from such a little thing. Just s tiny bit of acid in the blood the kidneys haven't taken care oi. But the "kidneys aren't to blame. I used to think they were. Now I know better. It's that oyer worked and over crowded stomach giving the kidneyi part oi its work and the kidneys can't dc it. I found this out with Cooper's New Discovery. It outs the stomach in shape, that's all it does, and yet I have seer thousands of people get rid of rheumatism by taking it. That is why I am positivi that rheumatism is caused by stomaol trouble. Here is a sample of letters 1 get every day -on the subject. ' "For a long time I have been a victim of sciatica and inflammatory rheumatism, and my suffering has been too great to d scribe. For weeks 1 lay helpless witl every joint in my body so tender and son that I could not bear to move. The slight' est touch would cause me the greates: agony. Several doctors treated me bui they failed entirely. I tried many reme. dies but nothing seemed to reach my case so I continued to lay helpless. My kid neys and stomach were affected also. ! could eat but little, digest less and gradu allv mv strenilth left. I lost flesh rapidly. ' "I began the use of the famous Coopei medicines of which 1 heard so much. Tc my surprise and delight I improved jm mediately, and after using several bottlet I felt like another person. My strengtl) and appetite returned. The pain and sore, ness left me and now I feel better than 1 have for months." Lawrence Tuscany, 1122 Aldrich Ave., North, Minneapolis.
