The Herald is with the Democrat
| in favoring cheap light. In fact the
cheaper the light the better for all
concerned. but misrepresentation is
the main stock in trade SO far as the
! Democrat is concerned when It comes
| to light or any other proposition. For
| instance, the Democrat this morning
| copied an item showing the strides
made in mining in Old Mexico owing
| to reduction in cost of power, cleo
| tricity being furnished at the rate OF
$50 per horse power yer year. TAX
Ing this as a text the Democrat pro-
ceeds to berate and misrepresent the
| local company in the face OF the fact
that the Democrat Is furnished power
at the rate OF 81 per month per horse
power. or $4S per year, instead OF
800 as alleged by the sheet. And
the local company does not pretend
to be purely power plant. otherwise
IT could furnish power at cheaper
rate in wholesale quantity. But AIS
tortion is the policy OF the Democrat
| at all times.

ders in the way OF health and he feels
better now than for years He ex-
poets to remain on the vallecito the
remainder of August. Mr.. Herr has
