Rank Impertinence

The News says in explanation
of Alderman Halls proposition
touching city lighting, that he
made it knowing that there are
a number of persons in the city
opposed to municipal lighting"
The junior alderman from the
Fourth ward has official know
ledge of this fact from consult
ing the records in the city audi
tors Office which show that when
the question was squarely sub
mitted to the voters of the CITY
April 18th, 1900, that, notwith-
standing that 766 voted in favor
of municipal lighting, some 81
voted against it. Now he and a
majority of the council seem to
think that these 50 voters knew
better what the city wants to do
in regard to city lighting than all
the rest ofthe town put together.
Since the people of Aberdeen
by so overwhelming a majority
as to almost be unanimous de-
cided that the city should own
and operate its lighting plant,
and since conditions have not so
altered as to make such a step
less desirable now than five
years ago, it must appear as a
piece of rank impertinence for
the council to turn around and
submit a proposition to them
providing for giving away to
some private concevn the priyi-
lege of furnishing electricity at
the highest figure charged any
where.
The position of Alderman
Wells is much more logical as
we'll as considerate of the ex-
pressed will of the people. He
assumes, and is warranted in do
ing so, that the question of city
ownership is setted, and the
next step to consider is the
question of the ways and means
for the establishing of the city
plant. He is equipped with
facts and figures to show that a

Graft the Issue

Notwithstanding the sicken

trust on every hand, of graf
permeating municipal, state ant
national government, and cor
poratlon management reekins
with it, we are confidently as,
sured that the utmost sensation
al climax has not yet been reach
ed. Stupendous as one of the dis
closures already made before the
New York investigating com
mlttee within its circumscribeG
sphere, it is certain that in a
short time a congressional probe
operating in q vastly wider field
will reveal an appalling spectacle
of commercial and political de-
pravity attracting world wide
attention.
1t is to be hoped that the Bit
ter shame of it all will so arouse
the American people that thew
will fling party ties and parti-
san considerations to the wind
and determine first and fore
most OF all to have a thorough
cleaning of the public service so
that the public business at least
be done in a more wholesome
atmosphere.
Official dishonesty is the i'm
mlnent peril of our whole COVER
mental fabric. Because of it
corporations corrupt and control
each succeeding administration.

should not have denied SO siren

contributing to his election when

prove that he tried to deceive or
assumed to know what he really
did not know.
