The most important word in the vo-

changes permitted. with Weddings
here and there, few bills would ever
become laws. A bill must run the
gauntlet of close examination, meet
ing many obstacles, for from three to
eight months before becoming a sta
tute and in the end it may have been
so changed that the man who first
wrote the bill would hardly recognize
it; in fact bills that have passed one
branch of Congress are often times
sent back practically new bills by the
other branch.
A bill may originate in either the
Senate or House with the single ex-
ception that bill affecting the in

like to watch the old fool hen
that's tied beside my door she has of
little chickens ten, and thinks she has
three score of all the blamed impor-
tant things that ever fused around.
she is the worst; all day she sings,
and claws the dirt around. She thinks
she has the only chicks. and so she
clucks and humps all other chickens
are gold bricks, all other hens are
chumps. She sees foe in every
friend, and drives that friend away !;
her feathers always are on end. she's
mad the live-iong day. And SO I
watch the old fool hen; and still she
seems to me like many chuckle- headed
men, whom every day l see. This
life to them's not worth a cuss. no
pleasure it affords, because they fume
and fret and fuss about their little
boards. With bile and envy in their
souls pursue their narrow plan, and
ever guard their dirty rolls, and hate
their fellow man. Walt Mason.

BY HARRY ]: GREEN.

In a recent sermon Billy Sunday
discussed the fight between David
and Goliath in the following vigorous
language: Il can just picture the old
man saying, Dave you had better
take some cheese and wine and go out
and see how the boys are getting
along. Dave goes. and Goliath comes
out. And Dave said Who is that
big lobster?' That's the head cheese
in the bunch of Phillistines-the main
works. Why don't some of you go
out and soak the guy2' The bunch
all get cold feet, when he comes out
here. He does his little stunt every
morning ooh you fellows make
me sick give me a sling and some
stones and he soaked him in the
cocoa between the lamps. and Dave
drew Goliath's sword, and chopped off
his block and the gang skidooed.

merciaI club of this city, and announc-
ed the subject of his speech to be
Public Control of Public Utilities"
stating in his communication that
member of the Commercial club had
invited him TO come here and give
this talk and that the said member of
the Commercial club would pay his
expenses for so doing. The CONNER
cial club today, don't know who that
member was who paid the expenses
of Mr. Marston here Now. Mr.. Citi-
zen, are you not a member Of the Com
mercial club, and do you not know
who paid this gentlemans expenses
here?
Now, Mr.. Citizen, We want TO ask
you another question; Why is it that
you fail to say d word about the value
of the franchise? We have asked you
if you would sell it? We have asked
you if you would give it away, and
now we ask you, would you advocate
giving it away and would you want to
take care OF the taxpayers, interests
to the extent of giving away 500, 900
of actual value? Come out in public
and answer these questions.
Don't let's talk about some favored
few who may have bought power for
zig cents per kilOwat, That is a mat
ter that can be remedicd without
trouble. If an abuse has crept in, in
the management of the plant, the
Board Of Public Works is in position
to remedy it; but the Board of Public
Works would not be in position to
remedy the condition of 200 people
who had given away their franchise
and sold their plant, when they awak-
ened some fine morning and found a
corporation knocking at the door, ask
ing and demanding an increased rate
for light and power service.
In your first communication, Mr..
| Citizen, you asked us to name the
public utility that had its maximum
rate raised after a franchise was
granted and that question was answer
ed by calling your attention to the
| Home Telephone Co, in this city. You
have not said anything about that.
If We are going to discuss this mat
ter, let us take up the facts as they
exist, and If there is a wrong being
committed here, let us correct that
wrong. If this is a case of one citi-
zen, who is an employee of the Light,
Heat & Power Co. writing these com
| municatiOns, let the public know who
he is. Then if the public thinks best
| to consider a proposition looking to
the sale of its plant, to the opposition
it will take this step with its eyes
wide open.
Now don't muddy the water. Turn
on that flood of light. We may be
able a little later on, to discover this
colored boy for whom we are looking.

Look for the
Little Colored Boy

Citizen" seems to take a good deal
Of satisfaction in repeating to the pub
lie what the writer said to him in an
open letter, viz. that We paid a flat
'ate of 21a cents per kilowat for what
ever power was used by the Wayne
Works.
The writer had no idea that there
was any secret about this price. Pre-
sumo the Board of Public Works had
4 reason for making this price; posi-
bly, competition may have forced them
% do so. However, if that price is too
low, this concern has no contract nor
Agreement, in any way, either written
Dr. verbal. and the Board of Public
Works has a perfect right to change
The rate, and for that matter, if there
IS any particular class of individuals
who are taking power current from the
Municipal light plant, who are buying
Il for less money than they are entitl-
ID to purchase it, We see no reason
why this condition should not be rem
sdied and the rate properly advanced.
The writer thinks he understands
the reason why Citizen" wants to
make a noise about this rate, and in
order that there may be nothing sec
ret about it, wants to make the small
taxpayer dissatisfied with the situa-
lion, and probably desires to get him
sufficiently disguised with municipal
ownership, that he will want to dis
pose of the Municipal light plant.
Citizen stated in his first COM
nunication that he wanted Mr.. With
arby TO investigate the plant. and if
there was anything found wrong with
it, he would vote TO sell it.
Now the writer has invited Mr. Cit
zen to come out and make public his
Identity, in order that the public may
know wherein his interests lie in this
proposition.
The writer has information from a
source that he believes to be anthem
tic. that these communications come
from the office of the Light. Heat &
