HIS SWEETHEART

Feelings Against Prisoner
Is Very Bitter. Tx

LOGAN, w. Va, Feb. S:-The trial,
Of Floyd stolllngs for the murder Of
pretty Rose White, his sweetheart,
was called Monday. The day was
spent in IN effort, to secure a jury,
but at 5$o'clock only&nine Of twelve
had been selected. OF 45g} citizens
examined 40 had made up their minds
as to the guilt or 9innocence Of the
prisoner, while five others we're Tex:
c'lsed on the ground that they OBJ:
jected3 to capital punishment.
The feeling against stollings seems
10 be on the increase, and on the
streets one often hears the expires;
sion that he ought to be lynched.
Should violence be melted out to
Floyd stollings there would be no
surprise, and in the event that there
is failure to secure a jury there
may be a. lynching. as the populace
is greatly enraged over the crime.
Ballard stollings and his wife are
kept under close watch at the jail,
and a number Of extra guards are on
duty this week. I'll n,

Anniversary Of Whitman's Death
Observed

observed
Prof. w. d. Lyman gave an ad.
dress at Whitman College last week
on Marcus Whitman as a states.
man, the occasion being the 5sth
anniversary Of the massacre of the
missionary. His address was the
principal feature Of the exercises.
La his address Prof. Lyman paid
tribute to the bravery and endur-
ance of the martyr, Marcus Whit
man, when he crossed the plains
with but one companion.
The craftsmanship Whitman dis
played when he had so little to
work with, was the principal tea
ture of the address. Prof. Lyman
told of how the martyr had seen
the possibilities of this great coun-
try and had battled with the Hud-
son Bay Company for supremacy
that Whitman did not labor alone
for the United States, but for all
mankind.
The address closed with a fitting
picture of the influence the North
west has had in the education Of
the Orient.

Public Utilities.

The city council Of Chehalis,
Washington, in granting a recent
franchise to corporation there
inserted a clause providing that
after ten years Is per cent. of the
net earnings should be paid to the
city and it is further provided that
the books and records of the COM
pany shall at all times be open to
the inspection of the city council,
so that the earnings of the COM
pany may be exactly ascertalnad.
These latter provisions are in line
with Rooseveltian ideas as to rail-
road regulation and are strongly
recommended by the Interstate
Commerce Commission as all aid
to the solution of the railway
problem. For a corporation hold
ing a public franchise. receiving
revenues from the public, to refuse
or oppose this right of inspection
raises the presumption that there
Is something requiring conceal
ment. The stock may be watered,
the salaries paid to relatives of the
owners who perform no duties
gay be exhorbitant. Publicity
-anrot injure the just and equit-
ably operated corporation. The
unfair and unequitab.e one should
be brought to book. Times have
changed. Franchises are no longer
handed out on so or 90 year
grants without compensation to
the public. No other new move
meut has made the rapid growth
that municipal ownership has made
in very recent time. Public senti-
ment and opinion demand that
publ c interests be safeguarded and
protected now as was not thought
of 10 or IS years ago. Precautions
shonld be taken against conting-
encies that may arise. No small
town or large city should get itself
into the perdicament Chicago now
finds herself because of the rascally
work of corrupt aldermen bribed
to give away on long time grants
the pubic franchises of that won
Ssserful city.
