LAnedon's Lighting Lssa

A well informed citizen Of Langdon
N. D., writes:
"The city bought the electric light
plant in 1902 for $500 and added
about $4,000 in Improvements. Four
and q half years later the plant was
sold for $4,000, involving capital loss
of $500. In addition to this there was
an operating loss of $4,000 a year, max
ing total loss for four and half
years of $1,000.
at is not known just what the con-
ditions were, but the above statement
is the closest l can get, as the ac-
counts of the lighting business were
mixed with the rest of the city ac-
counts, and the recorder never made q
statement showing the condition of the
plant.
while the plant cost the city over
$1,000, 1t cost it very much more in
factional fights, as when the plant was
sold there was nothing too mean for
one side to say and do against the
other, and whatever any one wanted,
whether it were right or wrong, he had
to fight somebody If it was of public
nature, as there was no harmony"

Excursion Rates to the Fair.

In connection with the West Michi-
gan State Fair, at Grand Rapids, Sept.
14-1S, the Michigan Passenger asso-
citation, which governs the granting of
special fares on all railroads, has de-
termined on the rate Of fare on all
lines leading into Grand Rapids, dur
ing that occasion. One and two.thirds
the one way fare will be the price
for round trip tickets. Suppose your
station is rs miles from Grand
Rapids, the fare each way being $50.
The special arrangement will make
your fare going $3.50, returning 81,
total both ways Of $3.50.
Last year the rate on most of the
roads was three cents per mile, and
the roads gave a rate Of one-half
fare, which would have been 1925
for the same distance, but In order
to secure this rate the purchaser was
required to purchase an admission
ticket to the fair grounds, which was
attached to the railroad ticket While
the railroad rate this year is trifle
higher than last year, the fair coupon
is eliminated. Fair tickets will be
purchased at the fair gates.
The railroads throughout this sec
ton are cordially cooperating to make
The fair a success, and literature con
corning the fair may be obtained at
stations along all roads which enter
Grand, Rapids. ..

PAVING Out of the Tax Pocket.

When the municipality of Kingston.
Canada, took over the works of the
Kingston Gas Light company for opera
ton on municipal account the selling rate
was put at 81 per 1000 cubic feet. a re-
duction of so cents from the rate that
ruled when the plant was owned by ordi-
nary capitalists. The date of the take
over was July 1, 1907 UP to the 1st Of
April 1908. 1t is figured that the works
ran behind in it's charges 50, 900, with the
prospect that the total for the year will
be close to $4,000. The output there will
amount to nor over 12,OO00 900 cubic feet for
the Observation-Disclosures Gas Light
Journal.
When allowance Is made for lost
taxes and depreciation Kingston will
find that Its gas has cost more than the
$1.5O the company charged. 1t will
have to pay the amount in excess of
81 out Of another pocket.

DENIES THAT BRYAN
COULD DO NO HARM"
Congressman Burke Says Office of

erful Than Congress.

Congressman Burke Says Office of
President Is Infinitely More Pow
erful Than Congress.
Congressman James Francis Burke,
Powers Of the President" says:
THE American people can make no
greater mistake than to elect Mr..
Bryan on the assumption that he can
do no harm In the face Of an adverse
Senate. AS between the executive and
legislative departments Of the govern
ment, the former has infinitely greater
power to rule and ruin than the lat
ter.
"Mr. Taft and Mr.. Bryan are wholly
different types Of men. Each pos
sssses strong individual character,
which would certainly assert itself IN
the White House. What either OF
these men would do during four
years term In the White House Ii
causing as much anxiety among
thoughtful Americans a. the mere
matter Of election alone.
AS disturber Of moneys the Pres
ldent IL without a rival In the world.
Through the agencies under his con-
troll he will this year disburse a billion
dollars, showing the great things we
are doing In adding to the unparalleled
list Of the worlds achievements.
I'm view Of the fact that during
the fifteen years of Bryan leadership
the States controlled by his party have
decreased from % to II, the number
Of Senators from As to 81, the number
Of Representatives in Congress from
300 to 1G4, and in that time the Demo
cratic party was In control of the
ground, whereas it is now, as a conse-
quence of his teachings, a hopelessly
heterogeneous mass Of Populistic ele-
ments, the American people can see
little prospects Of constructive policy
IL Mr.. Bryan should succeed"

eve welcome Mr.. Taft to this adj
vanced ground" said Mr.. Bryan in one
Of his numerous interviews since the
Denver convention. The ground refer
red to is Mr.. Taft's statement that no
campaign contributions would be re-
ceived from corporations. Mr.. Bryan
intended to convey the impression that
Mr.. Taft had come to that determine
ton after the Denver convention. In
that the Democratic peerless one" is
not honest. Mr.. Taft is a law abiding
citizen. Such contributions are unlaw-
full made so by n law passed by a Re-

fore the Denver convention. Be hon

LABOR WORLD FOR TAFT.
Characterizes Him as True Friend
of the Workingman.

(From the Concord On. H. Monitor.)
The Labor World comes out strongly
in its advocacy of Mr.. Taft. 1t charac-
terizes him true friend of labor and
declares that the unfair attacks of Mr..
Gompers will have little or no effect in
alternating from him the labor world
It says: THAT Secretary Taft is a true
friend Of labor is certain, and all the
untrue, ungenerous vicious attacks
that President Gompers or any one else
may make on him cannot prevent him
from continuing to be the friend Of the
wage. worker. Organized labor cannot
afford to have Itself split up into fac
lions OH this political issue. That Pres
ident Gompers is wrong in forcing this
most ominous fight is certain, and In
telligent wage workers will certainly
come to this conclusion"

Race Question "Local Issue2"

There seems to be no ground for rea-
sonable doubt that the Democratic
campaign managers in the West, in the
effort to secure negro support for their
national ticket, are acting u1on the
principle that the race question is only
a local issue" 1t is evident that the
South does not approve this plan of
campaign, but is powcrless to check 1t.
The Democracy of the South is in full
accord with the position taken by the
West Virginia Democrats last week.
And yet il Is assumed by those who
are trying to get negroes to support
Mr.. Bryan that the South will act in
hearty cooperation with the Ohio, Ne
braska, Kansas and Illinois Democrats,
who are welcoming the negro into free
fellowship In the Democratic party
and probably promising to annul the
decision of President Roosevelt in the
Brownsville matter. The theory of
Western Democrats that the race prob
lem is merely local issue Is calcu-
lated TO give the South much concern.
Many Democrats In that section may
question whether it IS worth while to
elect Il Democratic president who may
open wide the door Of political oppor-
tunity to the negro.

the Mall, until the, president had it torn

failed to eXpunge it's inquiries about this
action from the printed hearings is taken
to indicate the temper of that committee
