trading has tendency toward the
wrong side of the ledger. The now no.
torious example of the Thames steam
ers in London is too well known to
need comment.
lord Avebury (Sir John Lubbock,
formerly chairman of the London
county council, in his recent book
on municipal and national trading,
compares two cities, one of which OPP
crates its lighting plant and the other
of which is lighted by private COM
pany.
/ "The city where the lighting is being
done by municipal corporation is
suffering from increased taxation, with
no reduction in lighting costs, while
the other city is getting better light
and at much lower rate.
"The London county council has in
mind the vast project of taking over
all the electrical business in the city;
but what member of the London county
council has become famous through
his knowledge of the electrical indus
try? What member has helped to ad-
vance that business single step?
Some of the boroughs of London have
already taken over number Of cleo
trical undertakings with the Distress

"The members of the county council
who were elected on :. Socialistic plat
form have been twitted by Social
istic body-the Social Democratic fed
eration-on not being Socialists at all;
but on merely extending the area and
the system of what, from the laborer's
point of view, is mere ordinary cap
italism.
"rhe point on which l would insist,
myself, is somewhat different from
theirs. 1t Is that municipal employ
ment Is practically financed by abstrac-
tions from the products OF private em-
ployment. Thus the London county
councils steamboat enterprise would
not have gone on for a month II the
losses entailed by II had not been made
good by rates levied on wealth pro-
duced by the enterprise Of private per-

STATE MEETING OF
THE Y. NJ. c. A.
Invitations We're Received by
Number of Men in this City to
Attend Lacrosse Meeting.

A number of invitations from State
Secretary Anderson of the Y. M. G.
A have been received in this city,
asking the recipients attendance at
the state convention of that asSOcia-
tion which will be held in Lacrosse,
Jan 17-2O. This letter states in part,
that: 'sthe convention is held in the
interest of more than 100000 young
men of our state, and that at least
400 delegates are expected"
1t states further: ''At the present
time a large and practical work is
being done by and for the young men,
but there is need for larger things,
and men seeing this need are sug-
gesting that more shall be attempted. ="
The Young Mems Christian AS
sociation is doing a work all over the
state, that can be done by no other
organization. The influenceit throws
about young men at that period OF
life when they fare most susceptible
to good or evil influences, is invalu-
able. A city is much the better for
such an organization and every effort
possible ought to be lent to the young
men in this city who recently got to-
gether and made request that Grand
Rapids established branch. When
young men manifest an interest to
help themselves to better and more
noble things, the time is ripe when
every right thinking person should
give them all the aid possible.

MASONS OUGHT TO
HAVE TEMPLE
The Old Central House Property
May be Purchased and Re-
modelled For Club and Lodge
R00mS.

For several weeks past the members
of the Masonic order in this city have
been considering the question of
purchasing what is known as the
Central house property. for Masonic
temple. They have what we consider
favorable proposition from the
present owner III. c. Wipperman, to
buy lot 50x75 feet, fronting on First
street, with brick building thereon.
At small expense this building can
be converted for Masonic purpose.
The ground floor can be used for club
rooms while the second floor can be
arranged for lodge rooms, giving a
floor space. of about 45x48 feet.
From what we know of the PROPOSE
tion, we believe it is an excellent
opportunity for the Masonic order
of this city to obtain home for that
order, at moderate expense. The
question now to determine is: Do you
want such a home? If so let every
member of the order subscribe iber.
ally for stock in this enterprise.
The property is centrally located on
the east side of the river. The build
ing was substantially and well built
when constructed, and is in pretty
good condition.
We hope that this proposition will
no uol1 copcidorod apd If foI,nd nos
sible brought to successful issue.

BETHEL ACADEMY TO BE
REBUILT IMMEDIATELY
The New Building Will Probably
be Constructed With Fire Proof
Material..School Was Delayed
Only One Week.

The directors of the Bethel
Academy, which was destroyed by fire
New Years morning, held a meeting
Tuesday and it was unanimously
decided to rebuild the buildings in a
more substantial manner that they
were before the fire. The sentiment
of the directors was very strongly in
favor of using brick or concrete in the
reconstruction, and it is quite prob
able that some fire proof material will
be used
The winter term of the school was
delayed only one week, the church
being used for the school purposes.
The girls in attendance are being
cared for in private houses near by,
while the boys are occupying the
dormitory.
The cause of the fire is still un-
known, and it is understood that the
twenty students who had already ar
rived, barely escaped with their lives.
Fortunately, however, no one was in
jured Had the total number OF
students who are enrolled, been pre-
sent, it is thought certain that the
loss of life would have followed
The building which was destroyed
was two story and half building
and the loss is estimated at fully
$4,000 1t was at first reported that
only $500 insurance was carried OIL
the property, but later facts place the
amount at S3,5 500.

"THE BOOSTER" NOT
ALWAYS WHAT HE SEEMS

The Fairbanks News says. ''Take
the man who boosts his town. 1t is
the center of the universe to him.
His property is there. His home is
there. His family. His future.
Even his grave. He boosts his town
because it is his town and because he
believes it worth boosting.
He is an admirable fellow is the
booster. :"
Sometimes he may appear to be a
'knocker' The knocker is the oppo-
site to the booster. He knocks be-
cause he is a booster. He will knock
if somebody tries to hurt his town, or,
there's graft on. When things are
put right he begins to boost again as
of yore."

sirable music while the banquet was

Arpin, the president of the company
acted as POSTMASTER, and the follow

A. G. Bennett created no little
amusement when responding to the

APPLETON, WISCONSIN, Jan. g.
The report that John Hanrahan,
the New York broker, is in the Fox
river and Wisconsin river valleys in
an effort to place all of the print
paper and pulp mills in Wisconsin,
Michigan and Minnesota under the
control of syndicate, is denied point
blank by local manufacturers.
An official of the Kimberly & Clark
Co., which owns and operates more
print paper and ground wood pulp
mills in the west than any two other
firms, states that no proposition to
place any of the paper mills under the
control of syndicate has been made
by Mr.. Hanrahan.
He said the only aysuch PROPOSE
tion could be legally accomplished
would be to purchase outright every
mill. That would mean an outlay OF
not less than s2O,OOO,OOO at the start,
if all of the mills could be bought,
but as many of them are not in the
market, there would be no attempt
made to form such deal.
