A Coed Suggestion.

OOUu ougPeStl0n.
Since May the 10th we DO not see
much agitation Of the good roads
proposition appearing in print We
only hear now and then from some
who take pessimisuc view Of the
PR position eXclaiming; THE Good
Roads proposition is forever defeat
ed in Madison county" But my
dear Respondent friends. the good
roads proposition is not defeated but
only the bond issue. That The good
roads proposition has suffered a
material set back on account of the
defeat OF the bond issue 40 one will
deny; but to say that good roads is
forever defeated is to admit a fact
which in reality does not exist and
we hope may never.
"A good and safe majority Of the
voters told by their votes, in un-
mistakable terms, that they did not
want bouds and il you pressed them
real c.ose for their reasons for OPP
posing bonds, invariably their re-
ply was: "We do not wish to creste
an obligation which we in our life
time cannot meet and accomplish. /"
by little parsphrasing of their
reasoning we may arrive at work.

"Give us a good substantial plan to
work upon; let us pay as we 60 and
leave the good roads for our poster

Just what that right plan is the

feat, but if one plan does not sue

roads and talk good ioads sometime

In conclusion, allow me to hint a
suggestion: as this question Is locaI

BrOward Speaks in Madison.

To an audience of about one hun
dred people, mostly townspeople,
Governor Napoleon b. Broward =,
candidate for United States Senator,
spoke in the court house on Monday
morning. He was introduced by
Col. Chas. E. Davis and lost no
time in pryotechnics but went i'm =
mediately into a denial Of the things
alleged against him in the recent
speech of Senator Tsliaferro deliver
ed in Jacksonville. Governor Brow
ard was at no time severe, but in a
calm dispassioned manner tore to
shreds the allegations charged against
him by Senator Talia'erro and Con-
gress Clark. He told Of bis connec-
ton with tie Bolles land sale. Show
ed how, IN conjunction with ex-
governor Jennings, he purchased the
land from Arthur T. Williams and
in turn conveyed it to Roiles, he
and Jennings taking their commits
sion in lands. Showed that the lands
so sold were not owned by the state
of Florida at the time OF the sale
but was the property of private par
ties or a private corporation. He
TOLD of his having advertised the
state lands in the everglades for sale
in small tracts to the small purchss-
er at the price of twenty dollars per
acre and how, as governor, he had
succeeded in adding several thoGs-
and small farms to the tillable area
ofFlorida and how those farms were
proftiDg their owners. The COVER
nor told how he had visited Presi
dent RooseN cit and secured for the
people of Florida rights which bad
been denied them and for which the
Florida delegation in Congress had
made no ight. HE contended that
if he was elected to the Senate the
people would have a representative
who would look after their interests
and not the interests Of the money
powers. The governor is a calm,
pleasing speaker, earnest ard force
full. He feels that he is qualified
to acceptsbly fill the office of Sena-
tor but freely admitted that lac
could not take Senator Taliaferro's
place for the reason that he was not
statesman of the Taliaferro stripe.
In the recent primary this county
gave a small majority for Taliaferro
and the ex-governor evidently feels
that Madison county presents light
ing ground and he las come to put
IN his claims. What the result will
be, primary day alone will tell, but
it is safe to say that there have been
no reflections from the Broward
ranks in the county and we rather
suspect that the vote which L'Engle
received in the first primary will 20
largely to Broward in the second.
The ex-governor has most "tak-
ing way" with the people and when
he meets a man on the street and
pours one of his good natured
broadsides at him, something is sure
to happen.

ternoon train for Live Oak where he
spoke Monday night. He is on a

this and June 9TH there will he few

Water Frequently Aggregates Skin

I'm certain inland European districts
where water is seldom used for bathing
purposes the people are almost immune
from skin affections. The best authorl-

to be avoided in the treatment Of skin
diseases, particularly eczema When

prescriptions put up in liquid or soap

The Jones q Honey Religion

The rates which Mr.. Jones has offered
the city council are designed to pro-
tect his company from the reductions
proposed in the Hull ordinances. For
instance II the city's lawyers had sus-
tanned the mayors 81 gas ordinance
our gas rate this year would have been
s1.05 net, and 81 next January. Mr..
Jones wants to make it s1.25 this year
and come down gradually to 81 in five
years. This was the Darling PROPOSE
ton and it saves from $4,000 to $780,
900 excess earnings for the company In
FIVE years. The Hull ordinances pro-
pose a gross rate with a discount for
cash making net rates the same as the
mayors, and their idea is to get a new
ordinance which Messrs. Carney and
Van Law can defend without any COM
plications from the litigation which
seems to have accomplished nothing ex-
cept $500 fees for the gas company's
attorney to fight the gas company.
When Mr. Northup says that the COM
pany would be compelled to rebate
back to the beginning of the Ingledue
ordinance if it loses its injunction case
Mr.. Northup fails to explain that this
would be so only if each and every
consumer sued for his own rebate. In
the Cedar Rapids case an order was
obtained from the supreme court COM
polling the company to place with a
bank as trustee at per cent interest
the difference in the rate involved and
deposit each consumers rebate to his
own accoun, with this trustee where he
could get it when the case vas decided
Mr.. Northup has not even asked for
any such order. His proposition prob
ably has the same motive in it that was
manifest when he told the city council
that it could not change the electric
light rate because it had entered into
a stipulation with the company as to
rates some nine rs ago. He knows
that the section u the code which
gives the council the right to regulate
rates provides that these powers shall
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1910-03-23

not be abridged by ordinance, resolu-
tion or contract" He must know that
q city council is powerless to make a
binding contract not to change a rate
whenever it SO desires. He ought to
be helping the city council and not the
light company. Darling offered better
than 8 cent power over 400 k. W.,
whereas Jones would charge SIS cents
if a man had more than ten horse
power motor.
When it comes to Mr.. Jones power
rates the same flocus pocus is attempt
ed. 1t reminds one of the wisp of
hay suspended just beyond the old
mares nose, the faster she chased it
the faster it receded from her. Jones
offers SIS cents per k. W. for the first
90 k w. per horse power. Thus if a
man has a ten-horse power motor, he
will not reach his turning point until
500 k W.. and if he has 100 horse power
installed his turning point is showed
way off to 5000 k. w. after which con-
sumers can get Az cent power. The
Hull ordinance puts the net power rate
at Z cents up to so k. w. or $3.50 per
month, regardless of horse power and
vanishing turning point and 4 cents
over so k. w. with cents over 400 k. w.
Nh SiSClIlS AISdIS +1iOt 81
grasping. He makes his turning point
at is k. w. for the average house with
twenty lamps installed, BUT he wants
1875 cents net up that point instead
of 10 cents as provided in the Hull
ordinance. The scheme is to charge
small consumers whose bills run under
s2.25 per month, % per cent more than
the Hull rates. This is the majority
of the consumption. Then the rate will
drop to ga cents instead of 6 cents as
Hull provides but if man puts in more
than twenty lamps his turning point
rises accordingly. Nobody will get
from Jones any AZ cent light as pro-
vided by Hull and offered once by
Darling.
The gentleman from independence
evidently believes that the Lord helps
those who help themselves.

not consent to allow the teams from

The Actress Spoiled . Scene bss

 There is a pretty story of MOdjeska and a new leading woman who was to play the part of Elizabeth in Schillers dreary play, Mary Stuart"
 The new leading woman, who was to assume the part of the red haired sovereign, was beautiful young per son whose acting experience had been limited to a few seasons in modern sO- ciety plays. On the night of the first performance, in the most important scene of the drama, where the captive Mary confrOnts Elizabeth in Fotherin- gay park, all was not well. The new leading woman, wearing a wig for the first time in her career and looking un- comfortable in the high Elizabethan rufr, was i'll at ease in the beginning, and, losing one of the chief words and thereby the meter from her opening lines, she began to founder and soon "dried up" completely.
 This left Schiller's unhappy Mary standing in the center of the stage waiting to be adequately insulted. But Elizabeth's mind was blank, madam could see that, and, jumping to her last speech, the curtain was brought down. Everybody on the stage was distressed. But instantly the beautiful young woman, disguised as the irate Elizabeth, rushed to the stars side and said:
 Dear madam, am so sorry, but you know you do look so lovable in this part 1t was impossible for me to say those terrible things to your
 For a second there was a mixed eX- pression on MOdjeska's face, and then she forgivingly patted the speakers cheek and walked away.-MetropolitaD Magazine.
