The New York president and directors Of
the indianapolis Gas Company continue to
pose as injured innocents. After milking
this community for years and declaring
large dividends with beautiful regularity
they now complain because the people are
trying to get a little larger proportion of
the natural gas which they pay for in adj
vance. These New York gentlemen cannot
see that there is any harm in their entering
into a yearly contract 10 furnish consum-
ers a certain amount of natural gas at
certain rates, payable in advance, pocket
ing the money and then failing or refusing
TO deliver the goods. but because people
who have paid for gas I'm advance try TO
get a part of what they are entitled to
they are called thieves and robbers. II
these New York gentlemen who have been
growing rich by the manipulation of an
Indiana product under a municipal fran
chise which cost them nothing woul come
out here and spend a short time during
zero weather in a house for which the
natural gas bills rave been paid in advance,
they might. after a few days and nights OF
freezing. conclcde that there is another
side to the robbery question which they
are now exploiting with so much system
and such an evident purpose.

Secretary of State Hay has been so un-
fairly treated by some critics who show
more spite than intelligence that Senator
opening his speech on the Ha~y-Pauncefote
treaty the senator. says the dispatch.
praised in high terms Secretary Hay,
who, he said. was not only al accom-
plished gentleman and scholarly man, but
a patriot and statesman of a high order"
Any person who differs from this estimate
of Secretary Hay shows himself either
ignorant of facts, unable to appreciate fine
qualities, or else actuate by the kind OF
animosity that gives a personal aspect to
differences of opinion regarding public af-
fairs. No other American in public life
to-day has more fully earned or better de-
serves the confidence and approval OF the
people by his various public services than
does the present secretary Of state. No
man could be lacking in sterling qualities
who. while still quite young. so won the
confidence of Abraham Lincoln as to be
asked to accompany him to Washington
as his private secretary and who remained
with him as a trusted friend till his tragic
death after having been appointed as his
military adjutant and aid-de-camp. Before
he was thirty years old Colonel Hay had
served as acting minister to France and to
Austria, and had begun an experience
which was to make him one of the most ac-
complished diplomatists the country has
- htoLrx- ,,=afnI sorxvfoo nc
minister to England this experience culmi-
mated in his appointment as secretary of
state, where he has achieved a series Of
diplomatic triumphs that have added i'm
mensely to the prestige of the American
name throughout the civilized world. To
all this experience he adds the equipment
of a fine education, scholarly at
tainments, success in various fields
of literature and an aptitude for public af-
fairs that is almost an instinct. That even
a few Americans, no matter how few or
how incompetent TO judge, should decry the
work or misrepresent the motives Of such
a man in his public acts is calculated to
demonstrate the ingratitude of republics.
The paltry salary attached to the office Of
secretary of state is nothing to Colonel
Hay, and he had honors enough to retire
upon before he was asked to accept that
position. To any fair-minded person it is
simply incredible that I'm dealing with inter-
national questions he could have any other
motives than those Of the highest patriot
ism and a strict regard for American in
~terests. The insinuation that in negotiating
the H~ay-Pauncefote treaty he truckled to
Great Britain or surrendered any tenable
American ground could only come from
persons who try to make up for a lack
OF real patriotism by IN affectation of
jingoism which, in the eyes of some. is
considered just as good. Secretary Hay
should pay no heed TO this mean and
scurvy criticism. He should realize that a
very large majority of his countrymen. ali
those who represent true Americanism, ap-
p~reciate his services. admire his ability.
are proud of his diplomatic achievements,
apd have absolute confidence in his motives.
