gardng the merits of the corporations PROPOSE
tion
When however, full information on this point
has been given the corporation should be accorded
impartial hearing; and action upon its proposal
should be governed solely by consideration OF its
merits with due regard for the rights and the
benefits of the whole people, uninhuenced by
prejudice for or against those who constitute the
corporation.
The Home Telephone company, however, not
only has not met this fundamental requirement for
proper consideration of its petition, but far
persistenty has refused to meet it. In no city or
town in which it has sought to establish itself
has it disclosed anything whatever regarding the
men who control it or the system it desires to
introduce.
1t is asserted by the Home Telephone com
pany's attorneys that It's owners include Rhode
Island men. If so, OF what are these men afraid !?
Do they fear what their fellow citizens know OF
them? Would the disclosure OF their identity
invite popular distrust OF the honesty of their
terprise and Of their intention to fulfill their
promises?
A Republican politician whose knowledge of
affairs is usually accurate asserts that the granting
of the Home Telephone company's petition has
been fixed"
Nevertheless, the common council this even
ing should refuse absolutely to consider the COM
panys petition until it shall have established its
right to hearing by standing forth in the open
light like an honest man who, conscious OF the
Justice of his cause, is not ashamed to look his
neighbors in the face.

PILING UP TROUBLE.

The board of canvassers and registration ought
to realize that it is only ping up trouble for itself
by persistently refusing to facilitate the work of
registration by visiting the various wards during
the evening to permit citizens to place their names
upon the registry list.
AS justification for their refusal they have
only the dictum Of the secretary OF state, who has
given it as his opinion that the registry books
should not be removed from the city hall.
Mr.. Bennett may be efficient secretary of
state but even So that neither authorizes nor
qualities him to control the action of the board OF
registration of Providence the registration Off
GERS of any other city town in the state.
In Pawtucket no heed has been paid to his
so-called ruling" The city clerk believes it his
duty to give every opportunity for full registra-
ton of the citizenship and with that end in view
is making tour of the several wards
Town clerks are visiting the various districts
and some of them are going to the mills at con-
venient hours to enable operatives to register with
out inconvenience or loss of time.
Citizens appreciate efforts OF this kind in their
behalf because they in the line OF efficient and
bipartisan public service.
But our own board of canvassers remains OBJ
durate Why? Certainly it cannot claim its
volved, for it is well paid, overpaid, in fact,
many citizens believe, for the service it renders.
Does it fear a full registration will mean the
overthrow of the party that placed it in Office If
So it is acting in scandalousy partisan spirit and
will feel the lash of public reputation when the
people come into their own again.

WILL WE EVER FLY.

In view of the interest in the recent
balloon ascensions by members of the
Aero club. and especially those OF Count
De la Vaux, the French aeronaut who
has been visiting in this country. there Is
an important article in the June Apple
toms entitled "The Problem OF Mocha
nical Flight" The article Is written by
George Calvert, editor OF the American
Inventor. and explains the difficulties
that have to be overcome before mechani-
cal flight is possible. Mr.. Calvert out
lines the evolution Of the flying machine
from the time the Montgolier brothers
made their spectacular discovery down TO
the latest dirigible craft of Santos-Du-
mont and the various aerodromes of
Maxim. Bell. Langley and Ludlow. He
point ts out that the theory that we should

SANE THINKING NEEDED.

Mr.. Charles r. Hughes ie right; the
ideals OF the present time are high and
clean. and never before have public men
been so quick to respond to the call of
duty or had so great capacity to legislate
wisely. on the other hand, censure has
never been more extravagant and heed
less But 1t must be distinguished from
the criticism that is responsible and help
full.
Much chaff is mixed with the grain of
sound opinion, and the dust raised has
an effect that confuses standards and
clouds regulations. The man in the
street who does not think for himself,
and takes the views OF others In good
faith. Is hardly to be blamed IL he be-
lieves that the heart of things is rotten
and the republic is degenerate. Well.
he should read history a bit, dig In the
muck" of Credit Mobier and Star
Route times. open the dust covered vol
umes OF the Civil war period, or go back
to the haloed days OF the Revolution.
The most striking and timely observa-
tion OF Mr.. Hughes at the Page dinner
was this:

think sanely. who have sense OF proper
