While the Cost Of Living

has been going up during the last twenty
wears. the cost of ELECrIC LIGHTING
has been cut two ways. Consumers pur-
chase light but they pay. for electro
energy, the unit Of electric energy De,
iny the watt. The rates for electro
energy have been reduced substantially,
and at the same time GREATER LIGHT
per unit Of energy has been made pos
sible. In other words, the L1GHTlNG
VALUE or the WATT has been zen IN
creased and the COST OF the WATT has
heen decreased. The modern tungsten
iamp gives FIVE TIMES the candle
power per watt as did the FIRST incan-
descent lamp in 1852. The Mazda (tung-
sten) lamp itself costs more than the car
bon incandescent, but 1t is worth much
moro and is being made stronger and
more efficient all the time.

THE PLATFORM.

Although the platforms OF political
parties have OF recent years-as
demonstrated In the Roosevelt and
Taft campaigns-been used as gang
planks, still they are intended for
candidates to stand on, and to inform
the people of the measures and poll
cies to be carried out by the success
full party. They should be plain,
simple, and straightforward, and not
subject to several interpretations.
This rule has also been recognized
and ignored in drawing them-so
that they could be interpreted to suit
the pleasure of the party in power.
The Democratic party should adopt
this year a platform that by its sim
plicity will appeal to every man who
can read and understand plain Eng
lish. 1t should not promise too much
but what it does promise should not
be left in doubt. A few lines ought
to be sufficient to enunciate any
truth or declare for any reform.
And in view Of the direct primary
who will prepare this platform? The
State candidates will no doubt stand
on the one adopted by the State Con-
vention, but where will the local can
didates in each county be, and who
will adopt theirs for them Or will
each stand on his own, and it be the
case of root hog or die ?"
1t is well known fact that the reso-
lutions or platforms adopted al
most conventions are prepared before
hand by one or two persons and
promptly approved by the Committee
ON Resolutions and adopted by the
Convention. This il the customary
rare exceptions to this rule. Would
it not be we'll to try new plan and
the party management begin now
to prepare for framing a platform
for next fall This work should not
be left to one man, but the members
Of the Central Committees should
take it up, and by investigation and
thought they will be prepared, when
the time comes, to draw platform
that will represent thu wishes Of the
people, and not one presenting the
views OF a few individuals. A dis.
cussion and consideration of the va.
rious planks proposed will result il
only those being adopted that the
mass Of the people desire. Such 9
platform with good candidates will
assure a Democratic victory.

oILING ROADS KILLS FLIES.

stroys the Eggs and Larvae.
A Lenox CNIass) entomologist asserts
TINT the absence of flies along oiled
highways is due to the destruction OF
the eggs and larvae by the application
of tarvia and the byproducts of oils
which are being used to prevent dust
After conducting a series OF expert
ments the Lenox man has found that
there is almost total absence Of the
stable or biting fly.
The Lenox experimental says that
tarvia has practically killed the breed
ing places of the stable fly and that
there are fewer houseflies.
Since 1T has been established that
typhoid germs are carried by nies,
also Asiatlc cholera, and that there is
strong evidence that the fly Is also the
carrier of tuberculosis aud other dis
eases, the discovery that oiling high
ways lessons the common fly and al
most entirely exterminates the stable
fly appears to be of the highest inn
nortance.
