AS THEY CHALLENGE Foss.

1t is interesting to watch the cam
paign In Massachusetts take shape. 1t
may properly be looked upon as a po-
litical mess; and the democratic cam
didate for governor has considerable
difficulty in getting into the campaign
in good form. He appears to have
gone adrift upon the issues II the Bos-
ton Record is right, which corrects
him In the following manner:
Mr.. Foss is in error. Candidates
do not select issues, issues make them
selves. The state campaign, cost of
living and the tariff bill are in no wise
an issue. The choice OF executive Off
GERS to administer to the state is the
thing before the voter in the state
election. The question to decide is
whether Massachusetts wants misgov-
eminent of the type seen in the con-
ventions at Springfield in 1907 and
Fauueil Hall in 1910, or an admins
tration such as Governor Draper has
given it to the great pride and salts
faction of the state. It is clear to a
blind man that the democratic organ

not know what good government is.

HOW THEY SERVED THE clTI-
ZENS.

The oklahoma City Gas company
servants can do by the people. This
municipal company does not produce
or manufacture gas, but obtains its
supply from q producing or pipe-line
company. The Oklahoma City COM
pany Is under investigation, and it
has been shown that in the month of
June last the toncern sold to the con-
sumcrs of fhe city 10000. 600 more Gu
bic feet of gas than it bought from the
pipeline company. The auditor Of
the Oklahoma City company admitted
the discrepancy but said that he was
unable to explain where the additional
2O,000.000 feet of gas came from. Ask
ed if the company had pumped air in
to the mains and sold it to the con-
sumers as gas, ne answered That was
outside his department Hereafter
the state corporation commission will
keep check on the meters that meas
TIRE the amount of gas supplied to the
oklahoma City company by the pipe
line company and on the meters that
measure the gas supplied to the con-
sumers, and it is confidently expected
that no more discrepancies will be dis
covered and that there viii be a mark
ed reduction in the bills of the con-
sumers.
BY the sale of 100000 cubic feet
of air a year that municipal plant
ought to show large returns for the
people.
