CITIZENS OF THURMONT!

ClTlZENS OF lHUhMONI!
Do not allow yourselves to be persuad-
ed that it will be bad investment for
the town to own and operate an Electric
Light plant. =.
Private interests are always opposed
to such plans on general principles. Do
public utilities owned by private corpor-
porations serve the people at an annual
tax rate of per cent on the investment?
Well, that's what this plant owned by
the people will cost. No watered stock,
bond bonuses, etc., to pay for, but per
cent on actual amount of money invested.
Oh, but they say you will not be able
to run it economically, there will be graft,
etc. 1t is reflection on our ability and
civic pride to say that we cannot. Also
we have the power of referendum and
recall each year in our annual election in
case of any mismanagement. Could you
do this if privately owned? | guess not.
Publicly owned we get our light virtu-
ally at cost; privately owned we will pay
dll LHc Collipahy CdH ScI. lHc CouCcIlCiOil
that this plant is not going to pay, that
it is to be heavy burden on the tax
payer, etc., etc. is always used against
public ownership. This bugaboo of in
creased taxes always looms up. Now for
the sake of argument it does increase our
tax rate say 20 cents on hundred mot SO
cents, this is out of all reason), your
house is taxed now say So per year and
this would be increase to SIS per year,
what do you get for your money? First,
one of the best lighted towns in Mary
land and don't forget this) you can have
electric lights in your house at one-half
the cost any private corporation would
give them for q do not think this is an
exaggeration.) How much does this tax
amount too? Personally would figure
that by paying So extra year l was
saving about $6 year on my house light
ing and the street lamps at this rate
would be free. Net result street lamps
for nothing and $4 to the good.

In loving remembrance of my dear son
who departed this life Tuesday, February
l, 1910.
On the wings of Gods love,
My dear Allen was carried above.
His willing hands will work no more,
His tolls on earth are Ger.
Yet not thus lifeless in the grave
The vital spark shall lie,
For Ger life's wreckthat spark shall rise
To seek its kindred in the sky.
Oh dear Allen little did we think that
death would come so soon,
Nevermore will hear your sweet voice
humming,
Neyermore will hear your footsteps
coming,
But I'll trust in God, some day we'll
meet to part no more.
By His Mother.

of years and honors of life,
Therefore, be it resolved by the Board

vading spirit of justice and regard for
the rights of others and those he partic-
ularly represented.

TO FULL HOUSES.
The Icons, Victor and Verda, Give a
Three Nights Exhibit Of Mind
Reading, Hypnotisn And
Manic

Prof Leon and wife, the famous
hypnotists, mind readers and magi
clans have been at the Opera House
for the past three nights, and they
have been putting on some truly won
derful exhibits.
AS magician, Prof. Leon ranks
well among the best seen in these
parts in many years. Each night
during his stay here he put on a
number of difficult tricks in sleight
of-hand which kept the audience in
a continual nproar Of laughter and
delighted all.
Mrs. Leon displayed her marvellous
power of mental telepathy or second
sight by a number Of tests, each
time proving conchsively that she was
a complete master of the strange
powers Notwithstanding the fact that
she was blindfolded and sat with her
back to the audience, she could call
out the dates on coins. read messages
in sealed envelopes. call out by name
persons seated in any part Of the
audience. and many other equally diff
ficult feats.
Probably the most interesting part
of the program, however. was the dis
play Of the professors power Of
hypnotism A number Of subjects
who were we'll known local people
fell completely under the force Of bis
strange power and performed many
amusing and interesting acts. The
climax Of all came when the profes
sor put his wife to sleep. placing her
body across two carpenters horses
and then putting a rock weighing SOC
pounds on her body and breaking il
with a sledge. This act while accord
ing to the professor is perfectly safe
appeared quite risky to many Of the
audience. and there was sigh Of re
lief when it was over.

eagle 6 Davis. who has been one Of

fessor during his stay In the city. was

The Chieftain assumes that long
winded dissertations anent the repeal
OF the ninth article Of the constitution
are unnecessary in view of the intelli
gence Of the average voter OF Okla
homa. 1t is in no sense a political
question 1t is simply question as
to whether the corporations shall con
troll the state or the state control the
corporations. Not much more can be
added. The state will continue in
control by large mo" vote on the
18th of June.

The amendment to the constitution
is the most dangerous and ingenious
written article ever presented to an
unsuspecting public to vote on and
no information is given to let the peo-
pie know that it takes all the rights
of the people from them and gives the
railroads the entire control of affairs
of the state The number of sections
repealed by the proposed amendment
are so numerous that the members Of
the constitutional convention will not
be able to recognize their cherished
child Enid Wave

The improvement of the railroad
bill in the house through coalition
of the democrats and progressiyes is
a cause for rejoicing. But it does moi
mean that the people have really
wrested control of the national law
making machinery from the tariff
trusts, Wall street and other forms ol
special privilege which dominate the
republican party through either the
control of local politics or by making
large campaign contributions.

The Mccall campaign publicity bill
has been so amended as to provide for
the publication of campaign contribu-
tions after election, instead of before
and after election Publicity of con-
tributions after elections is regarded
by democrats as something like lock-
ing the door of the stable after the
horse has been stolen. Senator Bur
rows of Michigan. chairman of the
senate committee on privileges and
elections, very kindly explained why
the provision for publicity of contri-
buttons before election had been
stricken from the Mccall bill. If"
said Senator Burrows. I'VE were to
give out the list of contributors prior
to an election it would smean that un-
serupulous newspapers and persons
would take advantage of the informa-
tion thus disclosed and proceed to de-
nounce the candidate on the strength
of the character of the contributions
made to his campaign. In other
words. If the voters were permitted
to know who was putting up the
money for the candidates campaign
they might defeat him. Could a
stronger argument be presented for
publicity before election as well as
after election? Think it over.
