Mr.. Allison Suggest, That the City should
Furnish Its own Lights,
Boulder, Colo. May I8, 1901.
MEssRs. PADDOCK. WANGELlN, RICK
ETTs AND VINCENT:
Please grant few words to the people,
as they have heard much newspaper
talk about electric light for some time.
About three years ago the writer pre-
sented our city council proposition 10
ask for the vote of the people on bonds
for the purpose Of purchasing or build.
ing lighting plant. The council agreed
to do this, and passed an ordinance, as l
now recollect. asking that the people
vote on the question at the following
spring election. What happenedl The
wise man who quotes law to our learned
council said we now had bonds issued
up TO the constitutional limit and. il
voted on. woull be illegal and the ex.
penses incurred in election would be lost
to the tax PAYERS. Immediately follow.
ing this. what happened9 Our wise in.
teypreter Of the law. and our learned
council did submit to voters and did is
sue Chautauqua bonds tor several thous-
and dollars (tor park purposes) in def
ance Of the constitutional limit.
have always said. and say now. the
city should own and furnish its own
water and light. The present revenue
to our city from water is over $4,000 a
year. and growing. and the people should
demand that we own both light and
water. If We can issue sewer and Chau-
,auqua bonds ,ha. are illegal and sought
after by capital. why not try light bonds1
II the present companies engaged in this
line will not sell out, cancel franchises
at reasonable price. let the city build G
plant, own and operate it.
Now. regarding the purchase Of the
old Boulder Electric Light company
plant. l, was done as An investment. not
TO freeze any one out. as suggested BY
some Of the newspapers. The city and
the people wan, light, and 1t is the priv.
ilege Of any man, set Of meu or company
to offer it to them, and. as all other bus.
ness. is open TO competition. and when.
ever find my investment fails to pay
me reasonable compensation | will ny TO
dispose of my holdings. The present
members OF the Boulder Light and Po~.
er company purchased the plant Of the
Boulder EIeetIic Light company on an
option given by them that expired May
I7th. The money was furnished by local
capital. and men who are now engaged
in business in this community in VARIOUS
other lines. If it is crim- for man Of
capital to invest his money in this com.
muni,y in any legitimate business be
may select. II might be wise for our
newspapers to confne it a, home, as We
are now inviting capital to COR town.
county and state.
I~ant to say personally. as An inter.
ested sha.shslder in the Boulder Light
and Bower company. if the people OF
Boulder want light and good service. il
will be furnished 1t prices that will Offer
fair returns on my investment. and not
TO freeze any one out. Furthermore, all
business is open to capital and invest.
ment. and NO one 10 barred. Any one
desiring more banks or business concerns.
Including light plants. is certainly vel.
come so "a. as am concerned.

SHOULD COMMENCE AT HOME.

Clergymen in Manila have petitioned
the government for an order prohibiting
the noble sport u cock-nghtlng In our
new possessions, No doubt, they are act
uated by the best ofmotlyes in this mat
ter, for that sport is degrading. II Is
difficult TO conceive Of the composition
OF human mind that can find pleasure
In the mad contest between any brutes.
II would be as difficult 70 decide as to
which OF the parties are the morally
lowesti those who furnish the sport
or those who find amusement In the
spectacle. Cock-hghting should be pro.
hibited.
Al the same time, the reform move.
ment should commence at home. Not
long ago highly cultured sportsmen of
New York amused themselves by
sloughtering 10000 innocent pigeons.
Many OF these animals were malmed
and mangled, and were found dying in
torture afterwards, and some were pro.
badly not found at all in the secluded
recesses where they had sought out a
place In which TO die As long as this
Is considered highly cultured sport AZ
even for ladies' eyes, it Is absurd to
prohibit the comparatively civilized
'uels between feathered complaints.
Missionary work, like charity should
commence at home.
lhr lighting instinct in animals is
evidently one Of their endowments by
winch nature intended the propagation
%. "nIy the strongest and healthlest in.
"'idua's of the species. The killing OF
animals is justified when food IL needed |
b1t To turn either fighting or slaughter |
INTO kind OF amusement is beneath |
human beings endowed with intelu. |
gence and reason.

THE lesson OF THE PLAGUE.

The Medical Record asserts that The
plagp' seems TO be slowly but surely
spreading throughout the world. In
Australia there is much alarm over its
preyalice. One report has It that $4,000
persons have died In the L.amko dis
tret d Hal-Nan, during the last few
months In Bombay alone there were
ASA ases OF the plague during the
period rom November 4th TO Febru-
any lia. or these 2,57i were fatal In
Calcuil there were l.O52 cases, and L.
OOg wei fatal AT Capetown, during
the vWk ending April 20, there were
"a new cases, and 80 deaths And the
Rscordadds that the report Of the conf
mIssot appointed to investigate the
plague p San Francisco has established
beyond 4 doubt, that the disease pre-
walls arong the Chinese In that city.
The s1rld is passing through an ex-
perienc Of visitatlons OF wars famine
and patience, and It Is well to be
aware Il the fact World events do not
occur by accident, nor are they the
results II the disastrous influences Of
comets, as was almost universally sup
posed At one time, They are directed
by a Supreme Intelligence toward GER

Chicago News.

It is certainly disconcertlng TO learn
from the London Saturday Review, for
years the mouthpiece OF British con-
servatism. that In the event OF war
between the United states and any
continental power England must and
viii side with the other power. As 1t Is
only too apparent from its tone that
the Saturday Review approves such a
course. the hardihood OF this govern
ment in reducing the size of it's army to
force $4,000 below the permitted maxi
mum Is readily apparent. The force
that has been retained might do some
thing toward resisting the onset of two
nations, but we should still have the
Saturday Review to deal with A force
of $4,000 Is none too large TO hold In
readiness in case We are to be entangled
with the Review.
