Teheran. Dec 1.-The national coun-

ter has resigned.
The vote of the national council on
rejecting of the ultimatum was cast in
open session. A subsequent secret sit
ting of the members was practically I'M
animous against compliance. A cable
gram from British foreign minister. Sir
Edward Grey, was presented to the as
sembly during its sitting. The dispatch
urgently advised compliance with the
Russian demands but some of the mem
bers pointed out that England's advice
had heretofore only led to Persian hui
initiation.
They believed that Sir Edward Grey
had been misinformed and emphatically
asserted that Russian injustice had be-
come intolerable- They thought that re-
sistance on the part of the Persian
government TO the Russian demands
would awaken foreign attention and
lead to impartial inquiry Compli-
ance on the other hand would be con-
strued as a sign of abject cOWardice
and would mean rational suicide.

LET'S ALL GET THE GOOD.

In the interview with ID. c. Nevin,
published in the Kansas City Star and
republish he'd in the University Nilsson,
rian, is the gratifying news that work
will begin on the cross-state electric
road during the present month Few
material enterprises are of more I'M.
pOrtance to Columbia and Boone
County than the obtaining of addi-
tional transportation facilities. For
this reason every possible aid has
been and should be given to the cross
state and other electric lines which
promise such additional facilities.
or course Mr.. Nevin, if CORRECTLY
quoted, was wrong in asserting that
Columbia had deferred the cOnstru
tion of an electric light plant until the
building of his proposed electric road.
and water plant. Its city ofIicials ar
wisely going ahead with the enlarge
ment of the plant. in accordance with
the vote of the people. The people
will hardly consent to do without an
adequate supply of water and ligh,
for 4 year or two in the vain hope
that Columbia may be able to buy
light from a private corporation. like
the gas company, cheaper and more
satisfactorily than it can produce The
light from its own plant. Mr.. Nevin's
interview continues with the further
interesting statement that companies
have been formed by our friends TO
sell light ara power to the towns
along the route" This statement in
dicates that he does not believe the
charter of his company permits it TO
sell light and power.
OF course, the arguments against
buying city light from private COZ
poration with plant at Harrisburg
or elsewhere are TOO obvious to re-
quire discus ion.
If there g any money to be mad
OH of furnishing light and power, let
all the peOple-not a few of them
make it.

AN EYE FOR AN EYE.

Twenty years ago, man was sent
to prison to serve sentence, of this
length tor crime he never committed.
He was Andrew 10th. laboring
man, and jury convicted him on
direct evidence. He came out of priS-
on a wreck, twenty years behind his
generation, a very young man in
knowledge. but an old man in body,
heart and mind, pauper with the
blight of a prison term behind him and
blank wall bare of prospects of hap
piness and of love before him.
The law made mistake, the jury
did its sworn and plain duty by con-
victing him on the evidence present
ed Everyone sympathizes with him
and joins in attacking the law as il
exists. The proposed revisions and
remedies already presented would
throw the whole judicial system into
a state Of chaos. But the fact remains
that Toth's life has been wrecked by
the force of circumstances. PictuIe e
him-a man who never saw a modern
railroad train or street car, for
twenty years shut off from living the
life of man. Shaved and clad in IL
hdeous suit which screamed of the
crime ne was supposed TO have con-.
mittcd. with number instead of Il
name. this man dragged out an cx-
istencc that must have been veri-
table hell.
The thing to condemn is not the iiN.
and the punishment of crime. Ii maze
a mistake. but all human institutions
are pronc to erro". The great tr;.s-
cdy here revealed is directly traccaDlc
10 the present method of dealing with
our criminals. Here, in Il Christian
community, we hold to the ancient
Hebrew law, IAN eye for an eye and
a tooth for tooth. Altr;ii,rl ami
