Special Correspondence to the Seattle Star CHICAGO, April 6.—"I believe in munietpal ownership of every quast- public utility, This includes street railways, electric lighting planta. telephones, gas, water and power plants. The municipality pute into such properties immense values Jand tt deserves a fair return,” Mayor Carter H. Harrison, of Chi cago, thea put into words one prime article of bis municipal faith. The second mayor of the Harrison dynasty, he has been elected four times. The traction problem has been one of the leading tasues of his recent campaigns. He has devoted years of practical thought te trae- tion questions and municipal own- ership. He always has favored municipal ownership, but he does! not think Chicago ripe yet for the! responsibility Mayor Harrison is recognized aa/ His | a broadgauge chief execative nine continuous years as mayor have given him aplendid insight | into municipal problema. The great questions involved tn public ownership is the safeguard. | ing of public and private interests,” Mayor Harrison says. “How to do this depends upon the character of the enterprise taken over by the municipality. It would be neces- sary to throw closer restrictions about the operations of a municipal railway than about an electric light- ing plant. Any municipality is im & position to own and operate lighting plant railway. 1 do not believe Chicago is yet ready to own its street car systems, though I believe Chicago je the best governed city in the United States. “Chieago has operated ite own electric light plant for six years. The plant supplies Haht for all bet 90 of the lamps used fn the city’ atreetas We use 6,500 are —- in Chicago thoroughfares. 'e ght them at an average cost of $54 a year. The electric companies the Commonwealth and the Edison charge $108 for the same service. The comparison shows that the city an make a good profit in its elec- trie light and at the same time re- fuce the price to the customer. “Chicago sella water at a net profit of $1,750,000 a year after all expense of laying water pipes in avery section of the city where the itizens demand them has been said, - The city ts in a position to run its own telephone system with yrofit. I believe the time will come when power and heating plants will be operated by the city. “Gut wtreet railways present @ lifferent problem in municipal own wship. Is it a vastly more difficult woblem because of the great num- ver of men employed on street rail ways and the close contact of the erviee with the public “Refore municipal ownership be- ymes @ fact in Chicago, I would a the legislature create a board it control.

But he has used his police power to keep the evil withia the bounds of certain unofficial dis- | tricta. Note.—Carter Harrison will be succeeded as mayor of Chicago by Bdward F.

April 6.—The cireult court of appeals decided this morning {t could net hear the ap- peal of the case of Mra Chadwick until the fall term, which will con- vene in October. Weak Stomach. A weak stomach is most fre- quently caused by the over- worked and exhausted nervous system. The power that runs the stomach is the nerve force sent to it from the brain through the nerves. When the nerves are weak or exhausted the sup- ply of energy is insufficient and the action of the stomach |is impaired, and results in im- perfect digestion—dyspepsia. Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nerv- ine increases nerve force, It strengthens and builds up nerve tissue, gives vigor to the nerves and muscles of the stomach; this produces a healthy activity. Nervine allays the inflamma- tion, heals the membranes, and makes the stomach strong and healthy. There is nothing that so quickly gives energy to the whole system as Restorative Nervine. “I can't say enough for Dr. Miles” Nervine.
