GOOD ACTIONS.

Every good act is charity. Civ
ing water to the thirsty is charity.
Removing stones and thorns from
the road is charity. Exhortng your
fellow men to virtuous deeds is
charity. Smiling in your brothers
face is charity. Putting wanderer
in the right path is charity. A mans
true wealth is the good he does in
this world. When he dies mortals
will ask what property has he left
behind him, but angels will inquire,
What good deeds hast thou sent
before theep"-Mohammed.

states.
 It would be impossible to have rate regulation unless the books of the corporation to be regulated were accessible.
 It is not intended that the finances of public service corporations should any longer be secret. Such corpora tions are to show what they pay out, and what they take in. The infor- nation is necessary, therefore the sovereign state demands it.
 Perhaps in one point the commis- sion granted something to the com plaining citizens that it was not re- quired to grant under a strict inter- pretation of it's duty.
 The commission need not have re- quested the presence of Prof. Swain, who was out of it's Jurisdiction, need not in fact have requested the pres ence of any particular expert desir- ed by the complainants, but might have insisted that they should secure the presence themselves of any for eign assistance that they might de- sire.

THE FIRST DUTY OF PUBLIC SERvICE1S
 TO THE PUBLIC AND NOT TO THEIR PROFITS

states will intervent if necessary, to ike the terms upon which the cars of one company shall be moved over the lines of another company. /t
 All of these policies are based up- on the theory that public service cor porations are an arm of government, substituted in the service of the pub lie as matter of convenience. The prime consideration is not the profit of the carrier, or his convenience, but that the public shall be served.
 The tendency in the United. States is to regard railroads, telephone com panies, telegraph companies and the like as whole whose parts should be co-ordinated, by law when neces- sary, to permit more general and more beneficial service.
 The state expects it's public ser vices to facilitate communication and transportation among the people If the private owners of any of these services are dilatory, or negligent, or unduly restrict service, or discrimin- ate in rendering it. the State will cor rect the failure. The domain iii which the state will interfere is con- stantly widening, and will continue to widen until all pubic services are the property of the people and adminis- tered by the people through their representatives.

The Public Service Commission of New York made an important decis- ion yesterday. The Postal Tele- graph-Cable Company complained that the Western Union discriminat- cd against it, by adding from three to five words to certain messages re- ceived from the Postal company and charging for the addition.
 This difficulty arose when the Pos- tal transmitted a message over its own lfnes to a given point, and then de- sE&d further transmission over lines q its competitor.
 The commission finds as follows:
 .iCleariy a public service cOfpora- ton must extend precisely the same facilities to a competitor as it does to the entire world. It must charge them alike and serve them alike."
 The principle involved is an old one. It reaches all businesses affected with a public use. Restaurants must serve all alike. Innkeepers cannot refuse to shelter any proper person. Common carriers must treat all with out undue discrimination.
 The public control of carriers goes further. The states in many, instan- ces insist that where connections are lacking between one carrier and an- other that they shall be made, if the public will be convenienced. Some

PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION SIMPLY DID
 ITS UNAVOIDABLE DUTY IN MANCHESTER RATE CASE

 : Certain citizens. of Manchester have complained to the Public Utili- ties Commission that the rate charg- ed between Manchester and Hart ford, for passenger transportation on the lines of the Connecticut Com pany. is excessive.
 The complaining citizens asked the commission to require the company to produce certain evidence necessary to determine the amount of business being done by the company over the Manchester line.
 The commission complied with this request, whereat ingenous surprise is expressed by divers publications
 It-is exceedingly difficult to see how thel commission could refuse to ob- taf8 any available evidence neces- sary to enable it to reach a conclu- sion.
 It has certainly not yet reached the borders even of the precedents that have been established in such cases by the Interstate Commerce Com mission, the Public Service Commis- sioq of New York or. those of other

DISSATISFACTION

The progress of the world is a perpetual tribute to its dissatisfaction. dissatisfaction with the old order. Had it not been for this God-given attribute we would have been in the condition of our arborea1 ancestors hanging cheerfully by our tails from the branching limbs.
 All the marvellous advance which the race has made has been in an effort to improve upon the conditions with which it was dissatisfied.
 Therefore. when some member of the Smuggly sufficient-approxim ing finger tips over a protuberant stomach-inquires sturdily: "Why not let we'll enough alone, this world is a pretty good place if only you knew it" one who has acquired the hab- it of sticking his brains into the dust of age old wrongs. is impelled to res- pond somewhat sharply.
 Optimism is splendid thing, but it should be a working, winning, vital optimism, which says ives, the world is growing better. It is infinitely better than it was even ten years ago, but it is so because we are striv- ing constantly to MAKE it better" This is optimism which is a cred itable asset to it's possessor. Not the senseless, brutal, calloused, self gorged optimism which insists that 'alPs well in this world

MIR. SPERRY'S DEATH.

The death of Nehemiah D. Sperry removes one of the most familiar fig ures in political life in Connecticut. Mir. Sperry's active participation in politics began after the anti-slavery movement had iwelllnigh reached it's zenith and he was a jealous worker against slavery. He was present in both national conventions which nom- mated Lincoln and after long service in various offices came to be mem Der of Congress in 1895, place which he held until 8 year ago, when he refired, because of advancing years. MT. Sperry witnessed the birth of the Republican party as the advocate of a great reform He lived to see 1t harden into the conservative organ ixation of plutocracy and did not die uh&il evidences were at hand that his party will either be made once more representative of the plain peo- pie, or else irretrievably split and destroyed. Congressman Sperry did his share for progress, but, like many others, in his latter years did not see clearly that political and economic changes were not concluded with the emancipation proclamation, hence he looked with doubt and hesitation upon the great western movement within his party. with its assertion that the fundaments of liberty can only be maintained under the forms of pure democracy as evidenced in the initiative, referendum and recall. His services were more than respect able in their day, and are not less so because during the latter years of his congressional service he failed to perceive in the darkness the dawn of another day.
