OSTON is one of the oldest and most highly organized municipalities in this country. It has a superior order of population and puts re- markable intelligence into its public administration. In line with what is known as advanced thought upon the subject of municipal duty, that city entered upon an extensive programme, of municipal ownership. The Cochituate water works have long been in public rship, and the advance movement in Boston ied and projected that policy to other fayor Josiah Quincy, 0 is a radi- ner and a very energetic officer municipal ice works ng office, an electrical construction div a city repair shop and many other public utili- lished. In its initiation this poli ctory, and y was further social experi- were waiting impatiently to follow the lead of still these pion These were expected to be in line with the sgow policy, where the city owns not only the lighting plant, street railways and public baths, but the washhouses, lodging-houses, model homes for widows, model homes for widowers and a number of other paternal provisions for the wants of the people, which in 2 thrifty country they are in the habit oi supplying for themselves. The Scientific American and other American jour- nals claim that Glasgow, from the operation of her public utilities, derives all the public revenue she needs and levies no tax whatever upon her people, except what they pay for the use of the utilities. It is no wonder that Boston, with the most or- | derly and intelligent of populations, entered with high | hopes upon a policy imitative of Glasgow. The New York Nation has studied the results, and, according to that very reliable authority, it will be a long time before Boston gets all her revenues out of public ownership and can dispense with other forms of taxa- tion When the market price of ice in Boston was $3 a ton, it cost the city $60 a ton to procure ice through the municipal department. Printing in the city print- ing office cost from 20 to 50 per cent more than when done in private offices by contract In the electrical and repair departments the same excess of cost appeired. Work which a private con- tractor offered to do for $50, when done by the city | its own shop cost $300. | It has been found necessary to abolish two of these | new departments of public activity, and the others | must demonstrate their utility or they will also go. | The Nation seems to regret this outcome, but sug- gests that in large American cities under universal suffrage the operation of public utilities is attended by features incompatible with its success. Certain shown quite unusual nerve in | ng and abandoning the further prosecution of | re. It would be very useful to the people of her cities if Mayor Quincy would make public his pinion of the reason for the failure. The American mind is now in a plastic condition on this subject. If it be true that the fine government of Glasgow is supported entirely upon the revenues of public ownership, Americans will not be contented until they have amply tried an experiment which has had such desirable results. If they are incompatible with universal suffrage, it is a very important thing to know wh: Boston confi ans may be expected to encourage any view y that will make votes. Issues upon which they are elected change or are forgotten. They are | seldom held responsible for the failure of their | prophecies. 1‘ But when a policy is entered upon its effect on the | public is permanent, unless, as in the case of Boston, | a retreat is ordered. | Collectivism is a comprehensive term and there be advocates of it who begin with public ownership of | water, light plant and railways, and end with a general public kitchen and a municipal assumption of all | housekeeping and all domestic cares. o e If the managers of Tanforan are as law-abiding as they pretend to be a recent decision of the Superior Court will keep them busy for some time to come. The court decides most emphatically that notoriously bad characters can be excluded from public places of amusement. But perhaps the task is too great for | the managers of Tanfora; BRITAIN'S MILITARY PROBLEM. EBATES in Great Britain over the proposed D increase of the military strength of the empire are growing bitter. It appears to be conceded that no great increase of the army can be attained without conscription of some kind, and it is upon the | issue of compulsory service the strife rages. There are those who maintain that enforced service in the army would be a benefit to the youth of the nation, while others with vehemence assert it would be ruinous at once to the welfare of the people and the | ancient constitution of the realm. At present the army appears to be totally inadequate to the defense of the widespread empire. In a recent | debate- in Parliament Lord Rosebery, alluding to the claim that Great Britain, besides the men at that time in South Africa, had 409,000 available troops, said: “How is that body composed? It contains o8,000 regulars. These regular troops cannot stand a very searching analysis at the present moment. They are | men too young to be sent to the front and men who are required for the depots. The next item is 12,000 reserves. Have they been called out, or are they at | home? Then there are 7000 yeomanry and 77,000 | milits These cannot at present be embodied be- cause we have no barracks to put them in. Last we | have 215,000 volunteers. * * * Can these volun- teers by any stretch of imagination be called soldiers | in the scientific sense of the word? It is perfectly | certain that they cannot be. It has been suggested | that they have a month’s training when the weather permits. How has that proposal been received? I venture to say with the unanimous condeffination of | all the people whom it affects and concerns. There | is no large employer of labor in the country who | sanctions such a proposal or believes it workable,” That is the showing of the military force Great Britain would have to rely upon at this time should she be confronted by a war with a foreign power or | by insurrection in India. - It is not strange, therefore, | that some of the most conservative of her statesmen advocate conscription. In the same debate in which Roscbery’s speech was made Lord Blythswood, one of the most influential Tories in Scotland, declared | himself in favor of the adoption of compulsory ser- vice, and added, “All classes must be treated alike; | there must be no exemptions.” Against the project, however, the protest is strong. Frederic Harrison has recently pointed out that com- pulsory service in the British army would be a very different thing from that in the armies of Continental Europe. “The British conscript,” he says, “will be dragged to the ends of the earth, among savages, in deserts, swamps and mountains. He cannot come back in a year or two—foreign service must be pro- | longed. And when he comes back from the Punjab, | Hongkong, the Congo, Uganda, the Soudan, he will come back perhaps broken by disease and unfit for civil and industrial life at home. He will not be like the German or the French soldier, learning his driil to defend his native land. He will be fighting with colored people to coerce some free people or to con- quer goldfields for foreign speculators. A worse edu- cation for a useful tradesman cannot be devised. All the fine talk about the moral advantages of soldier- ing is stuff.” Altogether the problem is of a nature to perplex more sagacious brains than those of the present Ministry. From the war with the two small republics of South Africa the great empire is receiving many valuable lessons, but as’ yet her statesmen and her people are far from understanding how to profit by fhem. ——— A howl of indignation has gone up from the north- ern part of the city at the great smoke-pile which the Board of Health is maintaining in Chinatown. That is always the way. People can't have a little fun with- out somebody raises a protest. ——————— THE SIGNATURE LAw. B demurrer of the defendant in the case of Charles A. Bennett vs. The Call the newspaper signa- ture act, of which so much was heard last year, has been virtually declared to be invalid, and it will now scon pass into the limbo of forgotten things. The suit was brought against The Call because it had (to use the language of the decision) “published of and concerning the plaintiff a certain article which, if false, was libelous; and the article was unsigned.” Complaint was made by the plaintiff that the publica- tion was a violation of section 259 of the Penal Code as amended in 1899. The section provides that every article printed or published in the State which tenda to impeach the honesty or integrity of another and thereby expose him ta public hatred or contempt o ridicule must be supplemented by the true name of the writer of such article, and for an omission thus to sign said article the publisher shall forfeit the sum of $1000, which sum may be sued for and recovered against such publisher in a civil action in the hame of any person who may bring an action therefor, one- half the amount to be paid into the treasury of the State and the other hali to be retained by the plain- tiff. The complaint was demurred to upon the ground . | that the plaintiff had no legal capacity to sue, that the omission charged was'a public offense and that any prosecution therefor must be had in the name | of the people of Calii6rnia. In an elaborate review of the law and the precedents bearing upon the case Judge Hunt sustains the demurrer. The decision in full can be found in another column.- The conclusion declares: “It thus appears, first, that section 259 is expressly made part of the Penal Code; second, that in legal effect it ordains that a fine shall be imposed wupon the offender; third, that a portion of such fine shall be paid into the State treasury; fourth, that an action may be in- stituted by any person; fifth, that in this particular Y the decision of Judge Hunt sustaining the" The Call of the Church By Dr. E. R. Dille. to Prayer A CONTRIBUTION ON THE CONDITION OF THE METHODIST CHURCH IN° WHICH ROLLA V. WATT AND REV. HORATIO STEBBINS HAVE ALREADY ADVANCED OPINIONS. HE Methodist church has been called 0 its Knees by its chief ministers. The great advance which had char- acterized the preceding decade has halted. The column wavered and during the last year it has actually fallen back. This does not apply to every individual church and confer- ence in Methodism. This church has made substantial gains and this conference shows a small balance on the right side; |but as a denomination Methodism has lost. It should be said, however, that the reported loss is not really in membership, but in candidates for membership called probationers. She has not entered as many of these upon her lsts as in pre- _vious years and this makes an apparent loss of 21,000 There are some who object to the ac- knowledgment of the condition of the church in this public and official way. | | | { | | They think our commanders should cen- sor the dispatches when there is a de- feat. But what our Bishops state of a loss of aggressive power in our church is true of all the denominations and the world knows it. Taking all the denomina- tions together the net gain during the last year was only 13 per cent, while the average net gain for the past decade is a little over 3 per cent; the Methodist gain in the last decade being two-thirds as much as the Baptist, Presbyterian and Congregationalist gain together. T hold that it is best to be frank and honest about the condition that confronts us. I fear that as Methodists we have sald so much about the past that we have become careless of the present. We have spefit so much time in glorifying our an- cestors that we have done nothing to give our descendants a chance to glorify us. ‘We need to stop pointing complacently to the goodly stones in the structure of our great church. The Jews said, pointing to the splendid temple, “See what goodly stones and buildings are these!” But, alas, the holy fire had disappeared from the temple altars and Jesus said, *““There shall not one stone be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.” We need to talk less about the splendor of our altars and more about the fire upon Some things must be avoided, some gloriously attempted, if we are to win. The Bishops call their address the “Seal of the Covenant” and emphasize the fact that Methodism experience — vital | them. | Christian life: and that the witness of the Spirit is the heart-beat of that life. One hundred and seventy-five years ago there were not 100 men in Christendom who would have dared to say that they knew their sins forgiven. God wanted that truth, long buried un- der the dust of formalism and ritualism, to get currency in the world once more. In 1739 in a little prayer-meeting in Al- dersgate street, London, while hearing one read Luther's preface to the epistie to the Romans, John Wesley felt his heart “strangely warmed,” and felt that P g et 2 o i o g ] & D R R R Y R R SO S S e REV. E. R. DILLE. @+ 00000000000 000Q ive his sins, and what he feit began to tell others. Methodism was then born and its mission is to promulgate a knowable religion. The witness of the Spirit in the individual believer is the very heart and soul of Methodism. So that the trouble with the church is a disease of the heart. What an by the skipping of a beat has resulted in Some cases in heart fallure. We have not been true to this great depositum of doctrine and ex- perience. We have been running wild on catholicity and have got so b that our is gone. And the effect of thing is seen in the fact that the Unitarian year book gives the num- | ber of church bulldings in the United | States in 1830 as 193, and in 1899, nearly three-quarters of a cznnuz‘ later, they report only 448—a gain of churches in nearly seventy years. If a religion of ne- gation and doubt is what this age wants whf do the churches that preach that style of doctrine gain but in leven(‘ years while the churches that preacl Christ, the atonement, sin and hell have multiplied by tens of thousands, have given hundreds of millions to missions and have increased in membership by millions? Another slipped cog in our church life is a lack of passion for souls. There is a little disposition in some Methodist circles to carp and cavil at revivals of religion and at our methods of promoting them. | The fact is, however, that most of our congregations do not need a wet blanke: to put out wildfire half as much as they God forga: he cutting ed; that sort of n a fire of some kind to keep them from freezing into an ice pack as did the Fram. all the O geople in the world Methodists ought to believe In revivals. Methodism was born and cradled in a revival and nothing can withstand her when, putting on her garments of salva- tlon, with holy fire in her heart and re- vival songs on her lips she preaches and witnesses to the old Gospel. We are sometimes proud to say that Methodism was born in a Greek class in Oxford University, and that the early Methodists could all read the Bible in the original tongues. But we ought to be prouder that Methodism did not stay in the Greek class in college, but went out into the flelds, the mines, the potteries, the slums and" carried the light of the Gospel into the dark places of the earth. Methodism has a great deal of machin- ery and it 18 very perfect and very highl g;olhhed and perhaps a little complicated. Vel four years we run it into the roundhouse of the general conference and give it an overhauling. We tap aill the wheels and all the bollers. But what is the good of ail this Intricate ma- chin if it has lost connection with the central source of power? All gur ma- chinery cannot turn out a single Christian unless it is geared on to the Infinite. Brethren of the laity, you share with the ministry the responsibility for the church’s decline in revival power. We need more of the co-operation of our lead- ing laymen in the revival work of the church. No regiment ever won a battle in which the eolonels did all the fighting. Laymen can carry the Gospel as no one eise can into the occupations and homes of the le. Paul d his trade and worked at it, but what a soul winner he was. “This one thing I do” with him did not mean tent The church ought | to. double itself every year, but thousands | of the laity have never won a soul or iifted a finger to bring one to Christ. Another thing the Bis ufl deplore is the lack of seated conviction of duty amo! tke nist] and laity of the churc! How few “hold sacred the ordi- nances of God and endeavor as much as in .them lies to promote the weifare of their brethren and the advancement of the Redeemer’s kingdom.,™ as we solemn. Iy promised to do at the altars of the c‘nrch. The church commands but little of the time of many Methodists. and that only when it is convenient. Business is first, pleasure second, and the church is generally a bad third in the race. I make these comparisons between that are lawful and right. thi It is proper to attend diligently to business, to keep your social engagements: it Is proper_for you to be interested in poli- tics. But these are not the highest con- cerns of a Christian, if our profession is an honest one. We do not profess that they are: we do profess that religion is. And when our. unsaved friends see us put religion first in our profession and last in our practice, what is their just and logical conclusion? Why, that the whole thing is, in the language of the street, a “false alarm.”™ Finally, what is the future of Metho- dism? Isaac Taylor, thexn-eu divine, said in the days of Wesley, “I will give Metho- dism 100 years to run its course.” Well, the 100 years have passed and Methodism stands at the threshold of the twentieth century rejoid% as a strong man to run a race, with 3,000,000 members in America and 25,000000 of adherents in the whole world. If she will be true to her history, if she will seek for the old paths and not remove the ancient landmarks that the fathers have set, if she keeps her ban- ners ever waving in the fromnt of every conflict against wrong and for humanity, if. above all, she remains the church of the common ple, she will live on bless- ing and blest, and our fathers looking down from heaven shall see her during the twentieth century doing moge than y other church to roll t old globe o the light of the millennial day. an; int AROUND THE CORRIDORS B.

For these reasons and under the cases cited, I am of opinion that the proceeding in question can only be maintained in the name of the people of the State of California. Upon this ground the demurrer to the complaint is sustained.” Thus ends one of the pettiest bits of spitework ever attempted by a legislative body. The object of the act was to gratify the anger fellt toward the press by certain members of the Legislature because of the fearlessness with which it exposed their rascality. It was as futile as it was foolish, for it has never had any effect, and is now shown to be worthless. Among the legislators who voted for the act were many who practice law, but it is evident they permitted their spite rather than their brains to direct them in the matter, for they devised the act in such a manner as to render it incapable of defense in court. ——— Southern Pacific officials, for once in their exist- ence at least, share a sentiment in common with the public. The denizens of the yellow building are fear- ful of the coming of Huntington. BAD SYSTEMS OF TAXATION. EFORE the New York Legislature there is B pending a mortgage tax bill which has justly aroused the opposition of all persons who have given any study to the subject of taxation. The bill exempts all mortgages already made at less than 4 per cent interest, but imposes a tax upon all others. The opponents of the measure are therefore not far wrong in declaring it should be entitled “An act to place the burden of State government upon the owners of small properties, and boom the bond issues of cer- tain corporations.” 5 The people of California have had experience with the taxation of mortgages and know what the effects of such taxes are. Capitalists naturally and rightly expect to receive for their money the rate of interest that prevails in the community at the time the lodh is made. If, therefore, they know they have to pay a tax upon the mortgage given as security for the loan, they exact a rate of interest sufficiently high to cover the tax. There can be no escape from the operation of that method of doing business, and accordingly a tax like that proposed in New York would have the effect of increasing the burden of taxation upon men who own mortgaged property and pay high rates of interest, while leaving untaxed the great corpora- tions or large land-owners whose credit is so high and who borrow such large amounts that they can obtain money for less than 4 per cent. California, however, has no right as yet to con- demn New York on a score of this kind. We impose taxes not only on mortgages but upon bonds issued by counties and by municipalities for purposes of pub- lic improvement. As'a result of that tax our bonds have to be sold in the East, for local banks and capi- talists can hardly afford to buy them and pay the taxes on them. The result is that as the bonds are held outside the State we not only lose the tax on them, but the annual interest has to be sent abroad, so that we are doubly losers by the folly. . The incidence of taxation is a subject of which the average legislator apparently knows little and cares less. Thus a large number of taxes are levied whose cffects are just the opposite of what was intended, New York will find the proposed bill will impose a tax not upon the rich man, who lends money, but upon the poor man, who has to borrow, and the tax will be the more unfair because it will be imposed not upon all land-owners alike, but onlysupon those whose lands are mortgaged” . The people of Califor- nia have learned at last the folly of taxing local bonds, and accordingly the Legislature has provided to sub- mit at the coming election an amendment to the con- stitution repealing that form of taxation, and the pros- pects are it will be carried by an overwhelming vote. htheqd.iffl:mmnmmbeemqud,xu York will learn an eanal wisdom in the school of ex- bt | | | | | | L.
