bill calls for gas at seventy-fve cents
a thousand feet, and is kind of legis-
lation that is pernicious in the extreme.
It seeks to fix the price of a commod-
ity without attempting TO ascertain its
value. Under such legislation every
company of a quasi-public nature might
be driven out Of business at the whim
Of one seeking political revenge
The newspapers which are c.amor-
ing for cheaper gas through legislative
enactment ali declare that meters are
imperfect. that the gas is poor, and
that the bills are too high. If all OF
these charges could be sustained, the
passage of Alr. Jones bill wculd not be
justified The gas would certainly not
improve, and a less number of feet
would not be charged because gas was
reduced to seventy-fve cents. No; Il
there is any foundation for thes'

made it the best country to live in and
The easiest to die for.
This patriotism may be more pro-
sale than that of the field Of battle, but
the man who devotes his life to pre-
serving the honor of his State and coun-
try is as much a hero as the man who
falls in war with his face to the foe.
This is the patriotism the times de-
mand. This is the immediate pressing
duty of men who love free institutions.
Every man who sees the wrong and
knows the right has divine calling to
defend the right and oppose the wrong.
The man who helps to make bad influ-
ences is responsible; the man who does
not help to resist bad influences is also
responsible. If we help to swell the
tide of corruption we are guilty; if we
do not help to resist that tide we are
also guilty.
Opposite to the blight of indifrer~
entism yet kindred to it. is the banf
of partisanism. Hear the warning oi
the farewell address as to this:
THE common and continued mis-
chief of the spirit party are suffi-
cient to make it the interest and
duty of a wise people to discourage
and restrain it. 1t serves always to
distract the public councils and en-
feeble the public administration.
1t agitates the community with i'll
founded jealousies and false clam
ors. 1t kindles the animosity of
one party against another. 1t To-
ments occasionally riot and insur-
rection.

we have experienced. We know to

PURE WATER FOR CITIES
