should be fully and fairly investi-
gated. 1t will not do to let the city
rush into lawsuit That may cost a
whole lot more money than it cost Mr..
Vessel to follow the advice of the gen.
tleman who is just now advising the
city to do thus and so with the Gas
company. The Wageworker owns no
stock in the Gas company. Neither
does it own any stock in the Traction
company. 1t can therefore approach
consideration of both corporations with
a free and unbiased mind. 1t insists
that the Traction company shall give
the people better service because it
knows full well that the company owes
it to the city. 1t is willing to admit
that the Gas company should give
better service, and perhaps a lower
rate. 1t is not, however, willing to
admit that Mr. Bishop is competent to
decide what the Gas company should
do, nor that he is the right man to
advise the city as to it's duty towards
the Gas company If the city follows
his advice and the city suffers proper
tionately as Mr.. Vessel suffered, it will
cost the municipality enough to put in
two or three very adequate and up-to-
date gas plants
We want more information on the
subject. Perhaps it would be we'll for
the city council to confer with Mr..
Vessel before accepting the advice
and counsel of Mr. Bishop, who is won
derfully active just now, with spring
election in sight, in batting the Gas
company. We are not caring a hang
what becomes of the Gas company
Trust it to look out for ITSELF What
we are interested in is the conserva-
ton of the peoples rights and the
protection of their interests.

Holiday confessed that he was in a
shooting on the train, but says he

but does not remember shooting any.

piled: Il don't know what I'm up

Verge Of Starvation.

Many of the Chippewa Indians at the
Portage reservation in Minnesota are
on the verge of starvation. The Gus
tomary allowance of flour and pork
from the government has not been re-
ceived. The following appeal has been
written to Major s. w. Campbell, In
dian agent at Ashland, Wis:
Does the government want us to,
die? We can not understand how
these things can be- We can not under
stand why we can not sell our pine
and we can not understand why we
can not have some pork and -four for
our old and sick brothers

Put a pinch of powdered borax in
the water in which you wash your
lettuce, and allow the latter to steep
for half to three-quarters of an hour
In this solution; then either shake
them free Of moisture in the salad
basket or break up the lettuces, and
after well rinsing them, wipe each In
dividual leaf clean. Sailed water
softens and willis the leaves; but
borax, while freeing them from ex-
traneous matter, leaves them quite
crisp and fresh.

the city will always have all it can do
to hold it's own with the utility cor
porations. For this reason The Wage
worker would call attention to few
facts concerning the present struggle
with the Gas company. Mr.. Bishop
has, perhaps, been playing to the gal
leries in all of this gas controversy.
He it was who introduced the gas
testing ordinance, and he it was who
introduced the dollar gas ordinance.
1t is Mr.. Bishop, too, who has taken
such an active interest in fighting the
credit to Mr.. Bishop for being honest
in his motives and DESTROYS only of
contributing to the city's good. We
have heard it limited that he had an
to become city attorney, or at least
assistant city attorney. But that is
neither here nor there. That is a
matter yet to be decided. What is of
timely interest, however, is whether
the gentleman who gave Mr.. Vessel
such ,oor advice is the proper man
to advise the city in a question so
large and so momentous as this pres
ent one with the Gas company.
The Vsageworker will insist now, as
it alwa has, that the public utility
corpora us deal justly with the city.
On the Ger hand, it will insist that
tbo cit II col iuctIv with tho nuh1ic
utility coporations.
Mr. vessel had a decided advantage
over any public utility corporation.
His investment in Lincoln was such
satisfied with conditions he could pull
out 1t il, different with a corporation
like the Gas company or the Traction
company Mr.. Vessel invested per-
haps $4,000, and he pulls out with a
loss of 81, 100 after a year of it, a
thousand dollars of which he attributes
to the bad advice of the gentleman
who is just now declaring himself to
be the po!ssessor of all wisdom on the
gas question. If the Gas company
should happen to be the victim of the
bad advice Mr.. Bishop gives the city
it can not Initiate the example of Mr.
Vessel and sell out and move. And
| if the city is the victim of the kind OF
advice Mr.. Bishop gave Mr.. Vessel
according to iMr. Vessels statement
it can not sell Aout and go away. On
the contrary, it will have to stay right
here. and the Individual taxpayers will
have to foot the bills of any costly
municipal mistakes.
We are not denying that the Gas
company should furnish better gas ande
furnish it more cheaply. The solution
of that question depends altogether
upon conditions, and hose conditions
