Would Be Under Its Present System
OF Management.

+. E. Wltherby, general manager or
ahe corporation which controls the
Richmond Light. Heat & Power com
pany, appeared before council last ev-
lening and entered a vigorous protest
against the action of the city, in com
pelling public service corporations to
:place their Main street wires in con-
auits while the city. In alleged viola
zion of the Main street pole ordinance,
n,iaoed it's Main street wires overhead
spn other streets.
In the course of his remarks Mr..
witherby stated that last year the
icity of Richmond unnecessarily paid
s3s24220 of the tax payers money in
the maintenance of the municipal
Hight plant. and he again renewed his
offer to purchase the municipal plant
from the city, paying dollar for dollar
or every cent that the city had ever
placed in this institution, and guaran-
teed to maintain the rate of charges
from private and business, and con-
sumers and to furnish street lighting
,at rate of $40 less per lamp than the
municipal plant now receives from
lthe city.
Mr.. Witherby began his remarks
Iimme diateiy after council had adopt
ted a motion to adjourn. Mayor Schil-
Finger interrupted Mr. Witherby with
the remark that he smelt niger in
the wood pile" This remark angered
Mr.. Witherby and he turned loose a
itorrent of argument showing up the
fact that the municipal plant had uev-
rer been success and that it never
would be. He based ihs argument on
Ehe figures shown in the report of the
city light plant for the past year.
(which report has just been made pub

Schillinger heard these statements for
a short time then quietly slipped out
pf the council chamber.

The first annual meeting of the Rocky
Mountain club of New York, an organi-
cation of western men in the east. was
held at the new club rooms in the Knick
erbocker hotel, New York. recently. The
report of John Hays Hammond, president,
showed that one year ago the club start
ed with membership of seven, and to-
day has $50 members.
When the club was organized it was
thought wise to provide a fund to insure
the financial success of the club. An I'M
derwriting syndicate was formed, which
subscribed to a guarantee fund of $4,000.
The president of the club reported that it
had not been necessary to call upon the
guarantors for any assistance. Instead of
having to borrow money during its first
year, the club has been able to pay its
way and now has comfortable surplus
with which to carry out it's work of pro-
noting good fellowship among western
men in the east. and of furthering the in
tereStS of the western states in the east.
It was decided to increase the number of
directors from seven to fifteen, so as to
give each western section a representative
on the board
1t was decided to have weekly gath
ering at the club on every Tuesday even
ing, from to o'clock, and to hold club
smoker on the last Tuesday of each
month during the year. The club is full

that the Press clubs presentation is
different from that of any other ever

One was folded there with tender

JOY is LEES TREE.

The world is sweet and fair, and
bright,
And joy abouldeth everywhere
The glorious stars crown every night.
And thro' the dark of ev'ry care
Above us shineth Heavens light.
From the cradle to the grave
We reckon all our days and hours:
We sure will find they give and gave
Much less of thorns and more OF
flowers.
And tho some tears must ever lave.
The path we tread, upon them all
The light of smiles forever lies,
AS Ger the rains from clouds that fall,
The sun shines sweeter i'm the skies,
Life holdeth more of sweet than gall
For ev'ry one: no matter who
Or what their lot-or high or low;
All hearts have clouds-but heavens
blue
Wraps robes of bright around each
woe;
And this is truest of the true.
That joy is stronger here than grief
Fills more of life, far more of years
And makes the reign of sorrow brief;
Gives more of smiles for less of tears,
Joy is life's tree-grief but its leaf.

.HONORED BY POPE LEO XIII
John F. Betz, Just Dead, Chevalier
Of st. Gregory, Although
a Lutheran.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 16.-John F.
Betz, one of the best known brewers
in the country and one of Philadelphia
wealthiest citizens, died at his home
here today, after a long illness.
Mr.. Betz was born in Germany in
1911 and was brought to this country
when an infant He was largely inter
ested in several financial institutions
of Philadelphia. John F. Betz, jr.,
son by his first wife, will succeed the
father in his extensive interests.
Mr.. Betz, although Lutheran, was
a Chevalier of st. Gregory by grant of
the late Pope Leo XIII. This honor
was an unusual one. His first wife
was member of a we'll known Catho-
lie family of Stuttgart. Germany.
Betz gave large sums of money for
the uses of the church and his first
audience with Leo XIII was held in
intimate conversation by him, seated
upon a rustic bench in the gardens of
the vatican. Pope Leo expressed great
surprise at Mr.. Betz's deep interest in
the welfare of the holy see, in view of
the fact that he was a Lutheran. At
the end of the interview and before
Mr.. Betz left the vatican, one of the
papal officials handed him brevet of
the title of Chevalier of st. Gregory
which Leo had caused to be prepared
unknown to him while the conserva-
ton was in progress.

THE UNDERWRITERS BILL.

All the neighbor folks who knew her
Poor, unlucky little mite,
Came from far and near to view her
In her little shroud so white.
The remarks of some were bitter,
Though it certainly was plain
When the flying moter hit her
There was not the slightest pain,
And, of course, no needless torture,
Twas a sad occurrence; still,
Didn't Mr.. Richley Scorcher
Pay the undertaker's bill?
once again the people f1ocking
To a house of mourning find
More disaster, sad and shocking,
That a motor leaves behind.
Just a bruised and battered creature,
Stark and lifeless there-but then,
There was one consoling feature,
He was three-score years and ten.
When a mans that old and feeble
1t is merciful' to kill,
And moreover Mr.. Scorcher
Pays the undertaker's bill.
Bells are tolling in the steeple.
There's another victim dead.
ALI the sore-afflicted people!
Can they not get comforted
AS they mark the solemn tolling
And the rumblings of the bells?
Is there not some thought consoling
That their monody compels?
Sure! They know that motors busted
Shattered parts of their roaring
stilD,
And the heirs of Richley Scorcher
Pay the undertAker's bill.

The AMERICAN STANDARD.

Smith was man of modest purse
Who found frugality a curse.
A plain, cheap bike-so small his
hoard
Was all he really could afford:
So naturally, he bought Il motor
cycle.
Jones should have been contented
The motorcycle craved by Smith.
motorcycle came within
The limits of his store in tin;
But, of course, he bought runa-
bout.
Brown was man of slender means,
Forbade high-price, high-powcr ma
chimes;
A runabout was just his size:
And so he bought, as your surmise,
A heavy American touring car,
model of 1908.
Green could afford popular
High-grade, home-product touring
car;
But none of that for Mr.. Greene;
He coveted a French machine.
So, of course, he went the limit.
Binks was multi-millionairc.
for motor car he didn't care.
Besides, his doctor did advise
4 milder form of exercise.
So Binks walked.
Binks says that moneys not so tight
And thinks the country is all right;
But Smith ct al. ia tones intense
Complain of loss of confidence"
