DISCUSSION is ON.

The Tribune editorial on the
lighting question, published couple
Of weeks ago, has had the desired re-
suit OF stirring up discussion, At
the time. it will be remembered, we
spoke neither in favor of municipal
ownership OF the electric light plant,
nor for corporate ownership. The
reason was simply that the writer
did not feel qualified to advocate one
or the other, without first making an
extensive inquiry. The object OF the
editorial was simply to point out
condition that this city would have
to face in the very near future, and
to get the people interested in the
subject. Out of thorough discus
sion of the matter must come the
best solution, and only by securing
all the valuable data on the subject
san the best result be obtained.
The discussion is certainly being
had, and so far the effort of the
Tribune has been successful. The
trend of opinion right now is for
public ownership, and possibly that
is the best. We feel certain that 1t
wsuld be best If the time should
some when there would be absolutely
no competition in the lighting field
in northern Colorado. At the same
time We believe that private cor
Poration could produce current
cheaper than eau municipality.
Then, II this is the fact, the private
corporation could also furnish it to
the city cheaper. but II there is no
object, except charity for the private
corporation to do this anybody can
easily figure the result. The sugges-
tion has also been made that the city
purchase the poles and wires OF the
Home Electric company, equip the
cid water works pumping plant with
electric generators and then buy the
surrent wholesale from the Northern
Colorado Power company. Thai
would put things in shape SO thai
the city would be independent o
the big corporation, II at any tim,
the rates should become higher thai
the price at which the city coul,
manufacture its own current. Thi
IL q feature of the case that deserve
the most careful consideration b
those upon whom will fall the re
spcnsibility of finally chosing.

New Assistant at St. Peter

Owing to the growth of the Cath
olic church in this district Father
Casey has found 1t necessary to secure
an assistant priest. BY having two
services on Sunday morning the over
flow crowd of the late services can
be taken care of and the missions Of
Eaton and Windsor win receive more
attention.
The priest who will help Father
Casey. for a time, at least, Is the
Rev. Edgar W. Cook, ID. D., Of
Philadelphia (St. Ann's church, J.
He is resting for few months aud
enjoying our splendid climate
Father Cook is a young man OF re-
puted rare ability and is consider

phia. He was seminary professor
in the Philippine islands for Two
years during the period of reconst rue
tion after the amnesty He is a
convert to the Catholic church as are
all the members of his family.
Next Sunday morning he will de-
liver the sermon at the II O'Clock
high mass. Both he and Father
Casey will deliver regular courses of
sermons and lectures during the fall
and winter months at the morning
and evening services. Announce
ments Of these will be made later
This, together with the splendid
choir under the leadership of Prof,
Kendel, will give many rare treats
to the public during the coming
months.

ALL FOR THE BEST.

The financial atmosphere in New
York has not yet cleared sufficiently
70 that the local banks feel justified
in returning to unlimited cash pay
ments, hence the certified check or
clearing house certificate is still be-

right along. however, and word may

1t is understood that the com.

since the new system Of finance went
into effect have taken the cash and
instead of buying draft as usual to

is to use clearing house certificate,

Indirectly and also directly the Gree

MET DEFEAT AGAIN
Local Boys outdone BY Love-
land Team

The PLAYING Of the Greeley high
srbool football team against the
,,avier Loveland team last Saturday
,t Ioyeland was an indication of the
fact that the boys are not easily dis
,opruped by defeat but play harder
in rhe face OF heavy odds. The team
that played Greelev Saturday was the
same in personnel as the one that
orayed in Greeley Oct. u, with the
very important difference that Oct.
u the Loveland team had PLAYED
game with Cheyenne just the day
hefore. The same team that de-
faated Greeley Saturday 6 to ran

Team played the strongest game Sat.

any team this year. Next Saturday
they play a game with the team from

ley's goal, neither side was abe to
do very consistent work on the
oyepse. Loveland was able to gain
more ground through the line than
Greeley. In punting both sides were
about even but In running the punts
back Greeley easily had the advan-
tage. LoveIand made most OF her
gains by delayed pass, sending her
right half through the line.
The lineup was as follows: Wyatt.

blessing in disguise. We can then
thank our lucky stars that IL was
simply a settling of business on to
6rmer foundation and not crash to
the bottom. 1t will mean in the
future that there will be less wildcat
speculation and more legitimate
business. The paper value OF securi-
ties in this country, it is said has
sbrunk nearly four billion dollars
the past year. 1t simply means that
the water has been squeezed out OF
such securities and that now they
are down to their actual value.
They will very likely earn the same
dividends for the owners as hereto
fore, but they will not have the
same speculative value, which is the
best thing for the country.
In other ways the furry will have
a good effect upon things. Prices on
commodities acre running beyond
all reason and this upward rush has
been given d check a continuation
of conditions the past year could
have but one ultimate result; a
tremendous crash, sooner or later
This tremendous crash will not now
come. The speed OF the machine has |
been checked and it is now running
along fairly smooth. The road ahead
looks clear and at the present speed, |
or even a little better, there is no
danger.
The few individuals who have been
hurt by the disturbance will, OF
course, look upon it as a national
calamity, yet their number compared
with the whole Is so small that |
they are only an incident.
We firmly believe that legitimate
business will not suffer in the least.
II there Is a slight slackening OF
trade prices all along the line from
to consumer will have
a tendency to lower. That in itself
is good. Life will then be less
strenuous for the man who has been
trying to have his income keep pace
with the upward soaring of prices.
AS that class of people represents
about ninety per cent of the popula-
tion of the country the whole is Ger.
tainly for the best.

Western Passenger Association
Would Merge With Others.
Meeting Being Held in Chicago
Today to Consider Project.
FIRST PLAN OPPOSED.
Lines East of Chicago and st.
Louis Refuse Proposition.
Other Items Of Interest i'm
Railway Circles.

Recently it was said that the West
ern Passenger association would take
the initiative in a movement for the
consolidation of all passenger traffic
associations. 1t has now done, but not
On basis quite as broad and far
reaching as was originally understood
to be in contemplation. Sentiment east
of Chicago was sternly opposed to the
proposition, and evidently has frown-
ed upon it to such an extent as to
show that it would be useless to ex-
pect cooperation from organizations
having Jurisdiction east of Chicago and
St. Louis.
In response to call issued by Eben
E. Mcleod, chairman of the associa-
ton, a mass meeting of representatives
of interested lines is being held in Chi
cago today to consider a consolidation
of the three associations covering ter
rftory west of the Mississippi. These
are the Western, Southwestern and
Transcontinenta1. The chief advocates
of the plan are located in Chicago and
possibly they will be able to convince
others that it is practicable and advis-
able. The territories served overlap
one another to such an extent that any
action by one must have the concur
renee of the others to make it opera
tive. AS a result an interdependence
is set up, involving conditions which
would not have to be metif there were
only one association.
Previous to the enactment of the rate
filing Of tariffs and presenting penal
ties for noncompliance, there was need
Of the three associations, their pur-
pose being to harmonic the conflict
ing interests of the various roads. In
those days midnight tariffs were too
common for peace and, comfort, rate
fights were frequent every concelv-
able means was employed to corral
traffic and unpleasant friction between
officials was the consequence. Under
the present law none fof the old tricks
of the trade may be employed with
out running a risk that none cares to
take. Tariffs must be filed in accord
ance with ironclad rules made by the
Interstate commission and rates can
not be changed in night or with the
f1ippant wave of the hand. Various
bureaus maintained by the associations
have been dispensed with through the
abolition of clergy rates and mileage.
Under these circumstances it is ar
gued that for some time there will be
neither need nor work for more than
single association, and the time of Of
ficials needed in other directions I'M
der the law will not be wasted in at
tending association meetings. It is pro-
posed that the western association will
absorb the other two, and It's name be
retained, on the grolndrthat it's SUI
fcientIy comprehensive to serve every
purpose. Should sthes schedule be car
ried out several men now enjoying
good positions and liberal salaries, as
well as a large clerical force and minor
EMPLOYEES, will have to seek other en-

full membership of 1900
One year ago the residents of Topeka
were somewhat startled by the Screech

day and evening this siren proclaimed
the piling up of new members in the
