new COMMISSION
MAY BE CREATED
Charter Convention Proposes
Body to Control All Utilities
Operated by City

The creation of a new commission in
municipal affairs to be known as the
public utility commission whose duties
shall be the control of all utilities op-
Grated by the city was the subject of
much debate last night by the members
of the charter revision convention.
In conjunction with this proposed ad-
dition to the charter, an amendment to
the ordinance governing the issuance
OF franchises for street railways was
read. Both propositions were referred
back to the public utility committee
for revision and submission at the next
meeting.
In the amendments to the ordinance
on franchises the city is given great
power over the streetcar companies. By
provision of the amendment existing
companies will be brought to the right
of regulation by city officials. Fran
chises are only to be issued for 25
years.
j. Healy spoke against the extend
ing of the conventions labor on the
ground that the people would not want
to vote on numerous amendments. T..
+. Troy asked that the term public
utility as defined in the ordinance be
more definite, saying that In many
European cities this applied to bread
baking, laundry work, meat business,
sanitariums and other odd public
duties.
Next Wednesday a report from all
outstanding committees will be heard
Ihe revised forms of proposed amend-
ments will be discussed finally by the
convention for insertion into the regu-
lar program of election Harris Vein
STOCK was in the chair and E. A Wal
cott acted as secretary.

LEGISLATORS TELL
OF ILLINOIS GRAFT
Two CorrObOrate Testimony of
Chief Witness Against All
legged Bribe Giver

CHICAGO. June 16.-Fourteen objec-
tions by the defense against the admis-
sion of the testimony of State Repre-
sentatives Myers. Link and Beckemeyer
in the Lee O'Neil Browne bribery trial
were overruled by Judge Mesurely to-
day.
This was regarded as victory for
the prosecution. as it permitted the first
corroborative evidence in support of
the confession" of Representative
Charles A. White that he had been paid
81 900 for voting for United States Sen
ator Lorimer.
Myers testified in effect that Browne
had visited him on the day of the cleo
tion of Lorimer and asked for his vote
saying that there were lots of jobs and
plenty of the ready for those who
voted for Lorimer.
Representative Beckemeyer of Car
lisle, ILL.,, then took the stand. Becke-
meyer made confession No. before the
grand jury. In his testimony today
Beckemeyer corroborated White in
every material point. Beckemeyer said
he had been called to st. Louis as White
had been and there was handed a
package by Browne, who remarked
There is your Lorimer money"
Beckemeyer said he opened the pack
age" and found $1,000 in $50 bills.
The alleged payment of the $1,000 to
Beckemeyer was made June 21. 1909, at
the Southern hotel in st. Louis. the same
day on which White said the money had
been distributed. Beckemeyer said on
that day he saw representatives Robert
E. Wilson. Joseph S. Clark and Charles
Luke I'm st. Louis.
Beckemeyer will be cross examined

RIGHT MOTIVE
MEANS SUCCESS

Right motive, Christian Science
teaches, insures happiness and sue
cess. Happiness because it keeps its
possessor at peace with all that is
righteous and success because right Is
proved to be might when the law of
Cod is understood. Right motive
means practically the intention to be
good and to do good. Mistaken, often.
in its purpose or direction, lacking
frequently the good sense to guide or
to temper it's activity mixed many
times with conflicting emotions which
confuse it's pure aim, or beset with
circumstances that thwart its best en-
deavor yet right motive is actually
protective and progressive because 1t
is fundamentally straight and true.
More than right desire, inasmuch as
it holds the direct intention to accom-
plish good, clean motive can prevail
over temptation from day to day, and
must in the end arrive at all that is
purely good.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-11
THE CONFLICT

st. Paul saw the conflict between
right desire and temptation when he
declared in his letter to the Romans,
For the good that 1 would | do not!
but the evil which I would not that
1 do" Yet the conviction that right
purpose would win its way out is as
serted in his triumphant, Now we are
delivered from the law that being
dead wherein we were held" and in
his fearless cry, For the law of the
spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath
made me free from the law of sin and
death" Paul understood the lie
work of Christ Jesus well enough to
know that the activity of spiritual
good can reduce to nothing the 1nten-
ton of evil in every mental conflict
between the two. He knew sin to be
an eternally conquered enemy because
the law of God, operating in the lie
of his Master, had destroyed both SIN
and the fruit of sin-disease and death.
So he had the good courage to urge
all to hold to divine good and to ex-
pect because of it multiplying Vlcto-
ries over every evil word and work;
and his clear and valiant example mas
fostered the hopes and the faith OF the
ages. ~ ,

CHRISTIAN sCIENCE TEXT

Christian Scientists find in their text
book, Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy,
D. 1926, something which helps them
still further to value right motive as
saving element. "The purpose and mo-
tive to live Alright can be gained now.
This point won, you have started as
YOU should. You have begun at the nu-
meration table of Christian Science,
and nothing but wrong intention can
hinder your advancement. Working
and praying with true motives, your
Father will open the way" A right
motive certainly sets ones face in the
right direction, and as the whole un-
deriving purpose of our thoughts be-
comes more clearly impressed with
the desire for good a better under
standing of good must logically come
to us. This understanding Christian
Science brings And in it's coming it
purifies motive day by day and so
leads thought and life into constantly
improving conditions until the good
that is purely spiritual shall be un-
derstood and manifested. Christian
Science is of practical value because
| it seeks out the best desire, the pur-
est motive in every individual and by
proper tending cultivates these good
prposes until they shall give way en-
! tireIy to the reflection of divine think
| ing. It's teaching makes over the
thoughts of it's honest adherent and in
| the measure that he obeys what he un-
dertsands his point of view is spirit
ualized and he is delivered from what
! ever he detects in himself as undesira-
| BILE and untrue.

SPIRITUAL POINT oF VIEW

Just here, in this matter of finding
the spiritual point of view, lies the
great value of Christian Science teach
ing. Christian Science declares any
motive or purpose having elements or
self within it to be material: it de-
clares all materiality to be a counter
felt of divine Mind-not it's offspring.
And so all personal motives, even
though they may be in a degree less
gross than the more depraved I'M
pulses. are at best only human at
tempts to do good, and must give
place, in the course of salvation, to
the one aim which bases every wholly
right motive-the desire to understand
and to obey God. Let us examine mo-
tive critically. If it is for the tenn
poral success of ourselves or of those
we love. it compels a challenge. If for
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der; if uninfluenced by personal hos
tility or personal devotion; II clean
and straight in its fundamental longing
for the righteousness of right thinking
and right living-if for these good ends
and of this good character, Christian
Science maintains, then motive may be
safely trusted to approach at least
God-likeness, and to lead it's possessor
into the knowledge of the divine Mind
its power. it's laws, its government
of men-which heals the ills and
troubles of human making.
RIGHT MOTIVE
So. right motive is the mental atti-
tude through which the law of God
enters into the affairs of men. Even
the least of it is to be cherished as
our most precious possession. Ana
though it be in any one of us as tiny
as "the grain of mustard seed 1t is
that in us which responds to the law
of God: and we have the promise that
it shall grow because of its respond,
ing to the full stature Of spiritual
understanding; that it will flourish
until all living is redeemed. Chris
tian Science" writes Mrs. Eddy upon
page 400 of Science and Health, re
veals Truth and Love as the motive
powers of man." AS this is under
stood and demonstrated, human mo-
tives. whether evil or good, will give
place to Gods government, which Is
always divinely good, and in this new
order Christ's Christianity will be
found healing both sickness and sin.
II is in bringing about such regenera-
tion that Christian Science is serving
the world.-Christian Science Monitor:
