The Elan at Half Mast.

The custom of showing the flag at
half mast originated from the way at
sea of showing the pre-eminence one
ship had over the other in time of war
fare. The vanquished always had to
lower its flag, while the victors would
be raised as high as possible in exul-
tation. To lower flag is an act of
submission or betokens respect to a su-
perior or is q signal of distress. The
hosting of a flag half mast high came
to be used. therefore, as a sign of
mourning and respect.

-"Ha, Done All Il Could to Get Peo-
pies Good WiII"-Thinks Refusal Of
Darling Rates Mistake.

That it is up to lawsuit to get
cheaper rates for gas and electricity
and that further negotiations between
the city and the Mars1alltown Light,
Power and Railway Company are use
less, were evidenced today when the
city council ordered placed on file,
without action, letter from President
C. D. Jones, of the company, in reply
to a letter from Mayor Jones, relative
to the rates.
Last June the company made prop
osition as to rates, and meeting was
arranged here at which time lawyers
for both the city and the gas company
discussed the situation at length. The
city came back with a proposition, with
the result that both sides were as far
apart as ever.
President Jones, under date OF Sept.
IS, writes Mayor Jones in answer to his
letter, to the effect that 1--WE have
looked the matter over carefully, AMI
positively can not accede to the condi-
TONS"
Done Al, Can for Good Will.
In his letter to President Jones
Mayor Jones suggested to the public
utilities head that his company do
something for Marshalltown that would
result in the company getting the good
will Of the people of this city. Presi-
dent Jones replies to this suggestion as
follows:
Noting your suggestion that we do
something to get the good will Of the
people Of Marshalltown, I beg to state
that we have done everything we pos
sibiy could
Might Accept Own Proposition.
President Jones goes on further to
state that his company might be will
ing to accept its own proposition made
to the city, altho he did not promise
that such would be done. He does
say, however, that if the company's
proposition is submitted by the city as
its proposition the company will con-
slider it seriously, not that the COM
pany can afford to accede to the terms,
but in the hope that it will result in
securing the good will Of the officials
and citizens Of Marshalltown.
Mistake Not Voting Darling Franchise.
LAS to electric rates." continues
President Jones, the Darling franchise
was never submitted to US. nor ap-
proved by us: we had nothing to do
with it. In our humble opinion we
think the city made great mistake by
not accepting these rates by passing
the Darling franchise. don't believe
those people knew what they were pro-
posing. They were simply after fran
chises for promotion rather than for
legitimate operation. Somebody would
eventually have had load too big to
carry"
