to his ability, common sense and in.
tegrity In the consideration of all bus
mess and questions coming before
them. He left his impress upon the
sessions OF the board and had no
stronger Supporters than those opposed
to him politically. For his untiring
services in the interest of the public
and Tor the stand he has taken for a
decent and orderly city instead of one
OF unbridled license, he was the logi-
cal candidate of his party, as he should
be the choice of every fair minded
voter in Lewistown. And in saying
this we do not mean to infer that Mr..
Symmes stands for the impossible and
unreasonable in city government. A
young and growing western city can
not be governed with the rightly of
a city of like size in the far east. But
he believes there should be restraint
to the excuses that have prevailed
and some regard for the laws of the
commonwealth. II the citizens of
Lewistown want a good business ad-
ministration of their affairs they
should vote for Mr.. Symmes and the
Republican candidates for aldermen.
For police magistrate the conven-
ton placed in nomination s. w. Pen.
mock, the well known attorney. Mr..
Pennock is lawyer of ability and high
character, and enjoys the respect and
confidence of everyone who knows
him. He would make a reliable dis
penser of justice.
The resolutions adopted by the con-
vention and to be found elsewhere
in our columns, should be read by ev-
cry voter. They expose the duplicity
and insincerity Of the declarations in
the Democratic platform and point to
the fact that Mr.. Pinkley, of all the
Democrats on the board, stands alone
in reputation of his associates and
all steps that have been taken for
better government in the city. The
resolutions very wisely commend the
action of the non-partisan council for
what it has done in the past two
years to advance the interests Of the
city along reformatory lines, includ-
ing those Democrats who show no dis
position to retreat from the ground
taken.
The resolutions further denounce
the charge made in the Democratic
platform that class distinction has
been or is being resorted to by the
Republicans Of the city or the majority
of the city council, and demand only
equal and exact justice to all.
The candidates are pledged to an
economical city government and to a
careful consideration of measures for
public improvements for the beautify.
ing of the city.
A good ticket has been named and
the issues made plain, now let all good
citizens get out and ratfy it at the

is wise in his own day and generation
he will keep on good terms with the

ships he may seek refuge under the

towards this country are not calcu

GOLD THAT is NOT GOLD.
Effective Substitute for Decorative
Yellow Metal.

One more proof that all is not gold
that glitters is found in the fact that
much of the gold lettering seen on
signs and also much of the gliding of
picture frames has no gold whatever
about it. Among laymen the opinion
prevails that all such decoration re.
quires the actual use of gold leaf, but
the realty is different, and a substi-
tute that defies detection has been
widely used for some time. The ex-
act effect of gold is secured by using
leaf of either silver or aluminium I'M
der yellow paint. The metal backing
gives the required luster and he paint
gives the required color This meth
Cd cannot be used in all cases, be-
cause the paint is of peculiar quality
and requires putting on with an even
thickness. For this reason it is gen.
orally applicable only to fiat surfaces.
Parts of gilded picture frame which
are nodded into waving surfaces gen.
orally require genuine gold leaf to
cover them.-Philadelph Record.

YOUNG ACTORS GREAT SUCCESS.
Boy Electrified Theater-Goers Nearly
100 Years AGO.

One of the strangest figures of the
British stage was Young Roscus."
His other name was William Henry
West Betty. He lived until Aug. "a,
1874, although he made his last stage
appearance on Aug. 8, 1924, at the age
OF 80. Theatrical history has no paral-
lei to his childhood. 1t was this little
Irish boy who, after seeing Mrs. Sid
dons, had declared that he must die if
he did not become an actor. He took
Belfast by storm in 1903, when not
quite IL, and nearly stifled scores of
Londoners on Dec. l, 1904 Footguards
and officers were overpowered by the
crowd and gentlemen charged through
the boxes and jumped by twenties into
the pit" for places. Master Betty
brought $S6,050 to Drury Lane in
twenty-eight nights. William Pitt ad-
5ourned the house of commons to let
the members see him as Hamlet, and
his boom lasted until 1903. His adult
return to the stage was brief and a
failure,

We can take reproof patiently from

Books are the masters who instruct
us without rods and ferules, without

My maXims are never to begin
book without finishing it, never to
consider it without knowing it, and to
study with a whole mind.-Buxton.

One might think, from reading the numerous
accounts of how British cities are governed and
how cities in Germany and other foreign coun-
tries have taken charge of their public utility
plants that we people of America are way behind
in ownership of public utilities. This is not true.
American cities throughout the country own and
operate some of their public utilities and many
of them operate their electric light plants and
de- so with great saving to the people. Aurora,
Illinois, operates it's electric lights at cost of
$68.13 per arc light per annum; under private
ownership she paid 1926 per light per annum
Elgin, ILL.,, operates her electric lights at cost
of $50 per arc light per annum; under private
ownership they paid 1928 per arc lamp per year.
Bay City, Michigan, operates her electric light
plant at a cost of $68 per arc lamp per
annum Allegheny, Pa, operates it's plant at a
cost of SIS per arc light per annum. Louiston,
Maine, owns and operates her lights at cost
of $50 per arc light per annum. Bangor, Maine,
operates her electric light plant at a cost of $48
per arc light per annum. Peabody, Mass, oper-
ates her electric light plant at cost of $62 per
arc lamp per annum. In all these cities the cost
per arc lamp per annum under private ownership
was three to five times greater than the cost under
municipal ownership. Many cities in Iowa have
municipal ownership of public utilities. One of
the most successful is Marshalltown, Iowa, where
they have operated the water works since 1876 and
their electric light plant since 1885,
