The Cedar Rapids Republican has
been among the fiercest OF Governor
Cummins opponents. However, the
Republican accepts with :. reasonable
grace under the circumstances the YER
dict Of the primary, thereby placing
itself in a different class ana much
more creditable position than that as
sumed by the Burlington Hawkeye
which has been permitting itself to fall
into the unworthy augmentation Of

A PRlG OF A PREACHER.

A PRIG OF A PREACHER.
An advanced preacher in Boston an
nounces that hereafter he will perform
the marriage ceremony for no one :lf-
f1icted with consumption or for any
man who earns less than $12 per week.
In short he is going to be judge over
the lives of those who elect to marry
under the legal and inherent rights of
all unmarried. His stand against tuber-
culosis is well enough in it's way and
will probably be sometime soon legal
disqualification against matrimony as
a sanitary precaution taken in defense
Of the human race. His other disqual-
flying clause Is a prigs reason.
If all who were in receipt of in
comes under s12 a week had been
barred from matrimony it is pretty GER
tain that the minister who inclines to
censor salaries would never have eX-
listed Few of us, however wealthy or
in possession Of immense incomes,
whether from preaching, editorial work
or other lines of endeavor, would not
find far to go back to an ancestry that
lived and was happy on less than this
pulpiteer's, iron clad limit. If his arbi-
trary and pragmatic rule were to be
generally adopted the great and useful
,,,an of the fut,1re would he dependent
upon the justice courts in order to be
born properly Of parents Joined legally
in bonds that are not to 4 be put
asunder-except for reasons of cruel
and inhu1nan treatment much of
the progress Of the world die out. This
preacher does not realize that down in
the section shanties where families ara
being reared on s1.25 a day, lot of fu-
ture railroad presidents, big contractors
and sometime presidents of the United
States are wearing overalls and getting
ready to- come into their own in their
coming strength and the fullness of
their time.
The divorce evil is not a result of
low incomes. Quite the reverse. 1t Is
not the result Of marriages that are
quiet and even cheap. On the con-
trary The larger income of the par
ents permits them to bring up sons in
idleness and daughters who expect
ease. The youth who depends ON his
father to pay his laundry bills while
he spends all he can get for livery hire
and opera tickets; the young woman
who manicures her hands while her
mother washes the dishes, are natural
candidates for the divorce courts. It
isn't the twelve dollar week family
that furnishes imbeciles, degenerates,
and fills the lumber rooms of organized
society.
Let the New York preacher marry
whom he pleases and refuse whom he
desires. People will marry and raise
men and women on less than two dol
lars a day, whether he does his office
or refuses 1t. The children of the poor
will work UP to the larger opportuni-
ties and the wider work and perhaps
their grandchildren work down to be-
gin again the shift that leads from
s12 week up TO riches and larger
usefulness; for in this country Of ours
cit is but three Operations from shirt
sleeves to shirt sleeves" But let none
be alarmed. We shall go on breeding
great men and good women on all sorts
of incomes and under all conditions of
life.

Men Nexar Know.


(Helen Dudley in Smart Set)
Men mourn the lies that women tell
The cunning, heartless lies
Her Judas lips that hide so we'll
The narrowing of her eyes.
A heart is hers; she seeks to say it
A soul is hers; she does not weigh
The game lis called: how well she'll
play it!
Her debt is there; she does not pay
it,
Men mourn the lies that women tell
The cunning, heartless lies.
Men do not know the lies they hear
The brave, heartbroken lies
Her smiling lips that hide, from fear
The shadows in her eyes.
A heart is hers: for just a while
A soul is hers: 1t bears defile-
TIL game is called; her wit on trial
Her debt is there, dear God! her
smile!
Men do not know the lies they hear
The brave, feartbroken lies!

Topics of the Times.

The republican membership of the
next legislature will be comprised of
progressives and standpatters almost all
of whom can thank Governor Cum
Minis for their election in that he
called the special session which en-
acted the special primary and lifted
factionalisin from off the back of leg
islative candidates.
Talk Of an excursion to Washing
ton to celebrate the advent of Cum
Minis to the senate tickles enthusiastic
Cummins men, but does not augur well
for Cummfns. He ought to be per-
mitted to prove to Washington that he
does not wear horns before the band
begins to play.

nomination Of w. j. Bryan, of Lincoln,

posed that Mr.. Bryan nominated him

FRANCHISE VALUES.

The mes-Republican is in receipt
Of an obscure publication in which a
gentleman tries to prove that the fran
chise possessed by public utility
corporation is worth more to the pub :
lie than to the owners. He argues
that a community without gas, cleo
trio light, street car or water service
is dead one" hence when a public
utility company gives any or all of
this service it confers great benefit
upon the community, encourages its
growth, etc. In view Of the fact that
the question of public service rates is
up before the city council Of MARSHALL
town at this time, and may come be-
fore any other town at any moment.
the subject ought to be of timely in
terest.
The writer above mentioned Is COR
rect specifically. The presence OF
public utilities does help a town and
vice versa, when, public utilities thru
the ultra conservatism of either pri-
vate owners or city councils, fail to
keep pace with the growth of a town
they do 1t great damage. 1t Is true
that the franchise given to company
to perform a public service is a man.
Hesitation of public Improvement but
tc n
which the public is entitled, while on
the other hand, the private investor In
public utilities is entitled only to fair
and reasonable returns from the pub
lie on what he actually invests.
Reduced to common terms fran
chise value to the owner of a public
utility means only the value of the ex-
cess rates he can charge over and
above reasonable return on his in
yestment. The franchise which gave
him the right to be the first man int
a town with gas, electric light or
street railway plant virtually gave him
a monopoly of the right to tax COM
munity for service which they must
have. If this franchise or monopoly
has any value to him over ano above
the cash he puts into it, the tax he
levies must be sufficient to sustain 1t.
There has been very large public
misconception of franchise values.
Many men have wanted to tax them,
which is only commission taken back
on the excess taxes levied by the pub
lie utility. Others have wanted the
city to sell them, thereby reverting to
medieval customs Of selling the tax
ing powers to competitive bidders. I'm
der scientific government there should
be no franchise values to the owners
of public utilities. The franchise con-
tract should provide for access to the
books Of the public service business.
and the rates permitted for the serv-
ice should be so fixed as to maintain
a reasonable return on actual invest
ment under competent and careful
MANAGEMENT. The moment a company S
surplus shall more than sustain the
value of its actual investment and
begin to create an additional value.
that moment should rates come down.
A public utility is a public service, to
be paid for according to reasonable
cost and reasonable profit, but it Should
never be a public snap, and the fndi-
rect benefit TO the community belongs
to that community by right, the same
as do the benefits from public schools,
paved streets, and sewer systems.

lnMA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

To the Rockford Register can inter
esting feature of the primary election
is that in face of the claim that Gov
ernor Cummins owes his political adj
vancement to the support of democrat
ic votes, Governor Lacey received his
largest majorities in nominally demo-
cratic counties. Some deductions
might be drawn from the above facts,
but it is hardly necessary"

 Mattie MeBerth, a crippled colored woman who until Thursday lived at the Crittenton Home is confined in the city jail serving out a sentence of five days imposed in Judge Thomas court yesterday afternoon on the charge of starting an uproar at the home which resulted in her expulsion. Mattie is now without home and friends. Her case has been Dresented<to a number of colored citizens of the city.
 According to the officials at the Crittenton Home Hattie is subject to spells of sulkiness during which she refuses to live up to the regulations of the home and in more than one way was a menace to the welfare os the other inmates of the place On Thurs day morning she refused to perform the chores assigned her saying that she was sick Matte had worked the sick gag several times before to effect and the directors of the home decided on adopting means to break her of it,
 On being sent ot her post she feigned blindness. to which she is at times subject. She was permitted to retire to her room but instead of re- maining there she roamed about the home bothering the other patients. When she saw the matron of the home coming after her she rushed to the balcony and out onto the roof where she stood shouting 'anurder, help" and etc. On being brought to he room she fought fiercely inflicting several cuts and scratches on the hands of the women and 'matron, at the same time uttering curses and blasphemy.
 Hattie is about forty-five years old. The police officials are at a loss to know what to do with her Owing to the fact that she is crippled and at times is practically blind she is a great burden. She says that she has a brother living in Louisiana. An ef- fort is being made to communicate with him in the hopes that the woman will be taken off the hands of the city
