The Gas Franchise.

There is considerable kicking be-
cause the city council has granted q
gas franchise to company and gives
them the privilege to charge what
the people say is an exhorbitant rate
for gas.
The Plymouth Independent Demo
crat says the price is to be $1.25 for
fuel and $1.60 per thousand for light
ing where parties use gas only for
lighting Many people think that
when other cities get gas for IS cents
and $100 thousand the council was
foolish in granting franchise.
The council says if the price is too
high people are not compelled to Use
gas and the plant will not be put IN
unless number of people sufficient
to make it pay agree to take gas, con-
sequently the council seems to think
the price does not cut much figure.
AS we understand it the council has
passed the gas ordinance granting .
franchise to Daniel A. Douglas, ol
Angola, Ind, for the manufacture oi
gas for lighting and fuel. The price
for both cooking and lighting will bt
s1.35 per 1000 cubic feet, with 10 pei
cent off for prompt payment.
When the sales shall be in exces:
of 100000 cubic feet the price viii
be reduced to 81, with the discount
The gas is not pu-posed for heating
in colder weather; its use is INTENDED
for lighting and the kitchen. The
company is to have the plant in oper

President Urges Upon Congress Me-
cessity of Coast Defenses.


In what was practically a special
message President Roosevelt urged
upon Congress Monday the necessity
of carrying out without delay a sys-
tematic plan of coast defense for the
United States and its insular posses
sions, and asks for an appropriation
of over s50,000,00o. 1t was in the
form of a letter of transmittal accom-
panying report on coast defense
submitted by special joint board of
army and naval officers which the
President appointed for that purpose.
President Roosevelt said:
he necessity for complete and
adequate system of coast defense is
greater today than twenty years ago,
for the increased wealth of the coun-
try offers more tempting inducements
to attack, and hostile fleet can reach
our coast in a much shorter period of
time. The fact that we now have
navy does not in any wise diminish
the importance of coast defenses; on
the contrary, that fact emphasizes
their value and necessity for their
construction. 1t is an accepted naval
maxim that navy can be used to
strategic advantage only when acting
on the offensive, and it can be free to
so operate only after our coast de-
Tense is reasonably secure and SO rec
ognized by the country.
1T was due to the securely defend
ed condition of the Japanese ports
that the japanese fleet was free to
seek out and watch its proper objec-
tive-the Russian f1eet-without fear
OF interruption or recall TO guard its
home ports against raids by the Vlad- |
ivostok squadron.
This, one of the most valuable les-I
sons of the late war in the East, is
worthy of serious consideration BY |
our country, with its extensive coast |
line, its many important harbors and
its many wealthy manufacturing coast
cities. The security and protection ofl
our interests require the completion
of the defenses of our coast and the |
accompanying plan merits and should
receive the generous support of II
Congress"

NEW CASTLE GETS 1T.
Epileptic Village Will Be Located Oh
Tract of 1,060 Acres Costing
500 an Acre.

One of the longest and hottest
nights tor State institution ended
Wednesday, when the three COM
missioners appointed by Governor
Hanly decided to locate the new In
diana Village for Epileptics at New
Castle. Tentative selection of 1000
acres of land was made, to be modi-
ed slightly as necessity shall arise.
The price to be paid is $1OO an acre,
SO that in all something in excess OF
100000 will be spent for the site OF
the institution.
The site selected is about a mile
and half north and little east of
Newcastle. 1t is beautiful site, hav-
ing good ridge land for dwellings,
about 100 acres of forest, 800 acres
of pasture land and about 700 acres
of tIllable bottom land. Good drain
age facilities are afforded. The land
is now owned by ]. c. and c. T. Hud-
dleston, L. W. and James Harvey
and Willis Griffin. The land adoins
the farm of the famous Jim" Nipp,
where politicians are wont to gather
and plot in the darkness of the night
Three railroads.&c. L. E. & W.,
the Big Four and the Pan Handle
pass near the site, and immediately
south is a "Y" connected for the
three railroads. Newcastle now has
one interurban, and Charles S. Hern-
ley, of the Indianapolis, Newcastle
& Toledo Traction Company, says
that his line will run directly by the
village.
There is said to be good brick clay
on the land There is no stone or coal.
The selection of Newcastle was al
together a compromise. From the
first there has been a difference of
opinion among the members of the
commission as to where the village
shorld be located, and this difference
continued until the very time of the
compromise.
DR.. L. L. Whitesides, of Franklin,
has from the start insisted on the
Franklin site This site averages $136
an acre, and is said to be very fine
bottom land DR.. Stephen l. Brown,
of Knox, insisted at first on one of
the sites IN southern Indiana, finally
gave up any specific site, and holding
only that the land be the cheaper
land, such as is used by the institu-
tions IN the East
FROM fight of the different towns,
the contest became one between high
and low-priced lands, Drs. Brown
and Whitesides contending for the
hig!: priced and Ezra Mattingly for
the low-priced land. Governor Han
", though not . member of the conn.,
mittee, agreed with Mattingl,'s idea
of buying comparatively low-priced
land, and this difference of opinion
resulted in the Newcastle compro-
mise; Land cheaper than the Franklin
site and more expensive than the
Spencer, Greencastle, Monon or most
of the southern Indiana sites.

Not Talk, But a Canal.

The Senate committee decided Sat-
urday to stop looking for scandals at
Panama and devote its energies to
framing measure for the govern
ment of the canal zone and to expe-
dite the construction of a canal. On
the whole, this was plainly a wise de-
cision.
There have been and are some scan
dals at Panama, but they seem to be
rather those of blundering than of
boodling, and more in the nature of
waste than of plumber. Some money
and some time have been wasted, aid
conditions have been permitted 70
arise out of which might easily grow
scandals exceeding those of the
French regime in turpitude.
There has been altogether too much
emission of warm air on the part of
distinguished gentlemen responsible
for the canal work. There has been a
foolish and wasteful experiment with
system of getting men to work at
Panama which was manifestedly not
adapted to the conditions under which
the work there must be done. There
has been too much civil service re-
form" theory and not enough COM
mon sense practice
Yet the mistakes made at Panama
do not seem so great that they cannot
be retrieved by intelligent planning
of the work to be done and firm ad-
ministrative discipline in doing it. The
great fault that practical men find
with those responsible for the man.
agement at Panama is that they have
not really managed and that nothing
of moment has as yet been done.
To correct these conditions does
not seem to require at this time any
extended legislative investigation. 1t
would seem to be sufficient for Con-
gress to voice clearly and firmly. the |
demand of the people upon the gen.
tlemen responsible for the work at |
Panama-that they stop talking and |

The people who have been peti-
tioning the Senate to cast Reed
Smoot into outer darkness are likely
to be disappointed. 1t is thought by
close observers of proceedings that
there is small chance of securing
majority report of the committee
against him and still slighter one
that such report would be sustained
by the Senate. In fact disposition
to let the case continue to drag is
discernible, and as it has now been
three years since Smoot was sworn in
as senator the probabilities are that
he will serve out his term.

The Popularity of Crime.

Andrew D. White, so long in our
diplomatic service, and sometime
president of Cornell University, in an
address at Ithaca the other day, said
that the ease with. which murderers
escape punishment was the primary
cause of lynching in this country. He
showed by statistics that only one out
of forty-six homicides is legally pun
ished, forty-ive going free. In view
of this condition Mr.. White thought
that it was no wonder that people
look elsewhere than to the law for
solution.

Information for Senate Lawyers.

Boston Transcript: Once in a while
even the lawyers of the senate are re-
minded that they do not know all the
laws that are to be found in the statute
books. The other day when the naval
appropriation bill was before the SEN
ate the matter of securing discharge
of enlisting men of the navy came up.
One senator said that while the en-
listed men of the army could pur-
chase their discharge those of the navy
did not enjoy the privilege. This led
Senator Spooner to say that he did
not know of "any statutory authority
under which an enlisted man buys his
discharge from the army" Senator
Halep also declared that there was not
so far as he knew, any rule in the
army or navy by which a man can buy
his discharge. Senator Warren Of Wy
oming came to the enlightenment OF
his colleagues and must have aston
ished them by showing that the pur-
chase system was established in the
armXabyl the act of June 16, 1890.
