Keeping Promises.

and solemn thing and woe be unto
the person who FIRST destroys that
beautiful trust and confidence.
Why do so many parents promise a
thing that they absolutely kaOw Is
impossible to dJY Is it any wonder
I hat so many children see no need of
keeping their promises when their
elders are daily breaking their word
70 them? How can they be expected
TO discriminate?
1t is so easy TO promise when we
have no possible knowledge Of the out
come.
Many fathers give their children
calves or colts but unfortunately

while they are young aud need care

but when old enough to be salable

The Wild West and Far East.

Considerable interest has been
aroused ia this vicinity through the
announced appearance of Buffalo
Bill's Wild West aud PawDee BiiPs
Ear East at Parsons, Octuber It'll.
Col. VIM. f. Cody, the original and
only "Bufalo Bill" travels with the

Arrangements have been made with
the railroad officials TO run excursions
at special rates from the various
stations along the line and there will
be special provisions for the accom-
mediation of those who wish 10 visit
the exhibition. To the small boy
and grown up Buffalo Bill will be the
chief attraction, for his fame is not
dmmed by the years which have
elapsed since he helped write the
story Of the west through his heroic
deeds. Oae OF the principle contests
of the redmeD, ia which he took
active part, will be pictured in the
open air meiodrama. The battle Of
Summit Springs, an engagement IN
miniature introducing more than one
hundred Indians and as many cav
arymen aud soldiers. CJntrasted
with this scene will be an Oriental
Spectacle which will picture the
gorgeous beauties OF the Far East,
its pagaantry and people, Its
pleasures and pastimes, and It's
strange costumes aud customs.
Turning again to American history
tRsre will be An Attack Upon an
Emigrant Trair, A Holiday at CITE"
Ranch, and The Great Train Hold-up
by Indians showing varied pictures
of early life upon the boundless
plains. Rossi's Musical Elephants

she exhibition Ray ThompSon's
Trained Western Range horses Will
be shown in feats of grace and equine

DECISION On GAS
MOST ENCOURAGING
Supreme Courts Ruling
Practically Assures Drop
in Prices Here.

Capitalization aftcrward. The law Of
Congress affecting capitalization in
Washington is a law under which there
s. possibility Of great initiation. There
fore that law should be got out of the
way
But the aspect of the New York case
which is OF greatest popular interest
to the people of Washington. is the
decision that SD cents rs q fair and
rcWUuCratiEc rate Tor gas. and that o
per cent return ON capital is ample.
Washington is left almost alone
among important American cities at
an comparable, paying as hlEn a rate
as ST for gas. The Ohio cities pay
from so To- % cents. Boston end New
York so cents. indianapolis, 50 cents.
and so on through the list. IT is not
too strong a statement 10 say that
since The Washington Times night has
been I'm progress for cheaper gas in
Washington. the experience OF Ameri-
can cities has progressively proved
everything for which The Times con-
tended in the beginning A large num-
Der of cities have reduced the rates,
and now the Supreme Court actually
sustains more than this newspaper has
COntended.
ON the basis fix by the court in the
New York case, .huttinS out the pro-
posed issue of many millions Of wateTed
stock here, and adopting 6 per cent as
the revenue basis, Washington could
get gas for so cents per thousand. There
is no room for doubt of this. on the
basis of the showing made by Pref. Ed
ward w. RENTS in his appearance be-
fore the House District Of Columbia
Committee last spring.
After long and careful consideration,
tle lower house Of Congress has passed
an S0-ceut gas bill. II Is now before the
Senate District Committee, and Senator
GaIlnger has given assurances that he
is In favor Of reducing the price.
Everything iustifes today the strong
hope that before the end of the short
session the Se-cent bill will pass. and
that the auti-inhatiOn act will receive
the consideration which, In view of this
decision from New York. is shown to
be more necessary than ever before.
