Huron has just been stirred by one
of the greatest religious revivals of
the year, in which the evangelist
was able to bring into the religious
paths 400 pepole. To be in harmony
with the religious spirit a move was
established to close up the houses of
ill fame which have prospered there
for several years, and d few days ago
six or eight keepers were indicted
by the grand jury. 1t is to be hoped
that everyone of the 400 will keep in
the straight and narrow path,

The city of Bruokings is about the
only town in the state which has
made an attempt at municipal con-
troll Of its light, water and heating
propositions. A report was made of
what has been accomplished in that
line the other day and it is most
gratifying as an incentive for other
towns to follow in the same footsteps.
Brookings owns her telephone plant.
which last year yielded a profit Of
$3,625. The water system brought
in a revenue OF ST., 554. The heating
system was run at a loss for the rea-
son that it could not be determined
at the outset how much to charge for
the heat in order to make a profit.
These rates have been increased in
the past few months and now instead
of a deficit a surplus is coming in,

not quite so fortunate in this respect,
as each year all appropriation is re-
quired to make up what the consum-
ers fail to supply. OF curse it is
recognized that it is not the duty OF
the consumers of water to pay enough
to maintain the system of water
works for fire protection. Everybody
should contribute in that respect
but the rates ought to be so adj listed
as to make it unnecessary to appro-
pirate so much every year. The mis-
take that Mitchell made in regard to
municipal ownership was when the
failure was made to purchase the
electric light plant. and the mistake
has been seen times without num-
Der. The plant could have beeen pur-
chased for a low price and operated

For long time after that We toiled
