ELECTRIC LIGHT sPonoERS

Mayor Abbey has called at
tention TO the unfair and in.
equitable division of the street
light expense among our citizens
and the subject is worthy the
immediate attention of the coun.
ell. We have considerably more
than POO street lights that are
running each night. TIL e
lights are so distributed that
they serve all the people, yet
but a comparative few of the
people pay for them.
AS the matter stands, the ex
pense for these lights. which is
necessarily large, Is paid by the
receipts from the light plant.
This merely means that the con.
sumers oil light pay for their
own light consumption and the
street lights as well. Hundreds
OF our people who receive the
benefit of the street lights do
not have electric lights in their
homes or places of business and
therefore pay nothing for the
street lights. Among this mum
Der are many of our wealthiest
citizens, and one of this class
said, when the matter was
brought to his attention recent
ly, IF they don't like the way
they are running close e m
down"
No man need use electric
if he does not care to.
But no man who does patron.
ize the plant should have added
to his bill the costs of the street
lamps. II all of our property
owners would bear their share
of the street light expense, the
cost OF light should be materially
reduced TO each consumer.

a Denial From High Authority

DR.. Fl. w. Wiley, chief chemist
of the Agricultural Department,
has demanded of the Calumet Bak
ing Powder Co. of Chicago, that it
cease the publication of alleged
certificates or statements that he
bad endorsed the Calumet Baking
Powder, or reported in favor of its
purity, wholesomness or superior
ity. Such statements, he says. are
false.
DIR. Wiley never served upon a
committee of awards, AS alleged nor
did he ever indorse the Calumet
Baking Powder in any way. On
the contrary, DR.. Wiley testified
before a congressional committee
relative to alum in food, as follows:
As | have said repeatedly, LIDO
not use it in my own home, and
would not use alum in bread if l
knew it. Alum is injurious"
1t seems that DR.. Wiley's de-
mand that the Calumet Company
should cease these publications,
which are, he says, against the
truth" was not complied with, al
though he says be has done all he
could "to stop the base and mex
cusable use of his name"
The public will share in DR..
Wiley's indignation that his name
and official position should be
fraudulently used to aid in foist-
ing upon consumers a food COM
pound made from ingredients
which the doctor has publicly de-
alared TO he injurious.-From Ma
tional Food Magazine, Chicago.

The statement recently made
that the new pump was wearing
out is a gross.misstatement. A
small pinlon became worn as is
always the case with new ma.
chinery. This was remedied
with a lew minutes work. 1t
might be of interest to the tax
payers to learn that a careful
estimate shows that while at
the old plant it cost q cents to
pump a thousand gallons the
new pump does the same work
Al a cost of 5 cents. In other
words for every dollar spent IN
pumping at the old plant but 20
cents is spent now, a saving of
80 per cent, Really not so bad
for a worn out pump.

portance and the magnitude of the
matter to be settled.
There should be in every mind
responsive TO the appeals of rea-
SOP a fairly correct judgment of
the difference between the service
of sin and error and the service of
righteousness. The teaching of
human experience is clearly to the
effect that Baal is the hardest of
all taskmasters. The sacrifices
which he demands include all that
men and women should regard as
precious-honor self respect, con-
tentment and health of mind and
body. No wicked man can be
happy. No wicked man can sue
coed. The feet of the wicked man
are set in the path of failure and
in the way of ultimate overthrow
and destruction. These are not
merely dogmatic or arbitrary de-
c~larations of opinion. They are
verities as indubItable as the clear
instruction and the dreadful object
lessons of sin and evil can make
them.
ON the other hand, the world is
comprised about with a vast cloud
of witnesses, ready to give testi-
mony regarding the yoke that is
easy and the burden that is light.
Amid all of the vanity of the
world and the unlovely manifesto
tons of its coyetous heart, the SER
vice of righteousness continues TO
exercise an overwhelming attrac.
for humanity. For selfish.
ness, nor greed, nor the cruelty
that aVarice begets, has succeeded
IN obliterating or weakening the
strong spiritual impulse which
abides like a steady fame in the
hearts of men and women regen-
Grated by grace and which is stun
ulated to special activity and pow
er by the force of appeals such as
Kansas City is now witnessing.
How long halt ye between two
Too long, we may say,
where there is any delay at all in
the choice Of the right master.
But this We know-that the soy.
ereignty Of Baal is not showing
access of power in the earth,
and is not binding to him in any
bond Of affection or genuine fealty
his misguided subjects. Also that
'If the Lord be God has been
discarded by the world as a sub.
junctiye proposition, and that the
Lord is God, is joyfully affirmed
as a saving reality by countless
who follow HIM with a
happy faith aud an unfaltering
trust that fill their lives with light
and gladness.

This text is bound to bring mem
cries crowding into the mind of
any man or woman who has ever
had a religious experience 1t
may in the course of long years,
and with the tempering influence
of age, have become a question
wholly stripped of the tremendous
power which 1t once possessed to

the days when your youthful and
susceptible nature was keyed up to
the very highest pitch of religious
responsibility, will never be Who'll

that marked the birth Of certain
convictions and emotions that
struck their roots much to deep

that took possession of your soul
as you stood in the very face OF

Rain Playing Havoc.

Little Rock, June I9.-Fron. all sections of the state are coming re- ports of excessive rains and it is freely prophecied the crops in the eastern portion of the state will be ruined if the rain does not cease and permit the farmers to get in after the grass and weeds. The big planters of this section say it will take them two weeks to get the cotton out of the weeds, if the weather should remain good for that length of time It is also playing havoc with the treasury of the Little Rock base ball association. The game oi Thursday was prevented by rain and rain shut of the last game of the double header scheduled for yesterday. Nashville won the on- ly game played through Sentz al- lowing a ball going through his legs in the ninth inning. The score was 5 to ?.

RUSSIAN RESIGNATION.

From Maurice Earrings Russian Essays" comes this bit of conversa- tion: q then lay down on my bunk. Another Cossack from the other side of the cabin called out at the top of his voice to the man who was over me, Who is that man? He is a foreigner Is he travelling with goodsY No, he is just travelling, nothing more Then, looking down at me from his bunk, the Cossack who was above me said, Thou are quite bald, little father. Is it illness that did it or natureT 'Nature,' answered. 'Shouldst try an oint- ment,' he said. I have tried many ointments,' I said, Including onions, tar and paraffin, none of which were of any avail. There is nothing to be done.' No,' said the Cossack, there is nothing to be done.
