HIS WOMAN REALLY
GOT A SOUL?

Paris, March 1S.-Mr. Jean Finot
continues to stir up much talk by his
bitter writings against women. Here
is his latest:
"All our trouble can be traced to
the church council, which was rash
enough to declare that woman had
a soul Man originally knew well
enough that woman was his inferior,
but as time went on one man out of
pride and vainglory boosted that he
had handsome mate. Another at
once boosted that he had a handsomer

when a rib was taken out of Adam
during his sleep-it was mean thing
to have done-Adam, / imagine, felt
nervous at the sight of the first strange
creature, Eve. He climbed up tree, no
doubt, and looked at her as his
feet were dangling from the branch
on which he sat She was lying in the
grass, basking in the sun, already
showing her disposition to idle away
her time.
Driven out of Paradise, Adam had
to work to support her. When he
returned after a hard days work, Eve
said to him: See, I also have been
working! Look how pretty l am! I
have made myself a beautiful dress
of leaves. l discovered lovely pink
shell with which to polish my nails

you admire my headgear? Isn't it love-

vestment made here in good faith by
outside people. Nothing is farther
from our thoughts or intentions. The
advocates of a municipal plant, al
most to a man. have favored and are
willing to pay fair and honest price
for the existing plant, such price to
be settled upon by arbitration through
three disinterested outside experts,
none of whom has had any connection
with the prevailing dispute, one to be
appointed by the city, one by the
company, and these two to select the
third referee. Personally We favor
liberal nolicv toward the existing in
vestment. Yet we do not desire to
force the owners of the private plant
to sell if they do not wish to do so.
We are willing that they should re-
main owners of their plant and COM
pete with the municipal plant for the
business of the citizens. Competition
on the part of the sellers of a COM
modify, whether it be electricity or
anything else, has never been known
to be injurious to the buyers.
Beyond all these arguments in ia
vor of a municipality owned and oper-
ated plant, we desire that Americas
shall have one in order that it's streets
may be better lighted. We believe
there should be one hundred and fifty
where theye are now but seventy
street lights. We cannot afford these
additional lights at the price we must
pay a private corporation. We would
also like to have Great White
Way" such as other progressive cit
es are putting in, one extending from
he Central depot to the Seaboard de-
put and along Lamar and Forsyth
treets. but that is also an impossi-
bility if the city must pay for it out
of it's general expense funds which is
inadequate to private corporation.
We insist that these can be secured
through a municipal plant.
We want to see electric lights cheap
er in Americas to the general con-
sumer SO that the poorest citizen may
have them for his child to study by.
We desire the profits of the business
to accrue to the city SO that they may
be utilized by it for lessening of
taxes, or for public improvements that
will rebound to the benefit of all cit
liens. 1t is for these things we con-
tend.
The claim having been made that
municipal plant is not amenable to
the railroad commission, we pledge
ourselves to the adoption, by council,
of an eight cent per killowat hour
rate and down
We feel confident that the bond is

ceaseless battle until the people have
triumphed. Eventually, public senti-
ment will all be one way, in favor of
a municipally-ow plant. We had
three elections before the water bonds
were carried. But an educated public

How much better to cease this con-
tention, how much better to settle this
question right. at this time, in orde.'
that we may all unite our forces to
face other great issues that are COM
ing before us in a business way
United we must and will progress.
The only bone of contention today is
this question of a municipal plant.
Join us in disposing of it, feeling as
sured that we are animated by no de-
sire to work injustice to any one, but
solelN3to promote the welfare of
Americas as a whole. Respectfully
submitted.

ARGUMENTS FUR and
AGAINST BOND issue
Continued from page J.

owned plant always fights politically,
for its own purposes and ends
A favorite stock argument of those
opposing a municipality owned plant is
that a city cannot properly run a
plant, that its operation will be more
costly and less satisfactory than a
private plant. Is there any sense in
this? True, the mayor of Americas is
not a practical electrician, nor is he
apt to be. Neither is Mr.. Nesbitt,
president of the Americas Gas and
Electric Company. Mr.. Nesbitt is a
stock broker. Mr. Nesbitt simply
hires experienced, competent men, in
whom he has confidence, TO operate
his plants here. Is there any reason
why the City of Americas, through
commission, should not hire equally
as competent, equally as trustworthy
men to run its plant? Surely all the
good electricians are not controlled by
private corporations.
1t must be admitted that this is
sound logic Is it not equally as SEN
sible a statement that the City Of
Americas can buy machinery, coal
and other necessary supplies just as
cheaply as private corporation. that
its credit will be aqually as good
better, and that its trade will be
sought by dealers in such commodi-
ties? Is it not equally as apparent
fact that its supplies will do as much
for it as for a private plant? That its
coal will generate just as much cleo
trical power, just as cheaply? Is there
really anything in the argument that
the city can not operate its plant as
cheaply as private plant, with the
advantages on it's side of having no
interest charges representing overcap-
italization?
We maintain that the whole opposi-
ton to a municipal plant has been
aroused in the interest of the private
corporation to prevent the cutting off
large prospective profits on it's Sc
curities. We maintain that the pres
ent plant is not a business PROPOSE
ton. If it were solely this there would
probably be no need to issue such a
tremendous amount of bonds a nd
stocks as applied for to the railroad
commission. We maintain that the
project is speculative one, and much
of the proceeds do not go into actual
values in the plants, existing or
prospective, but as profits into the
pockets of the promoters. In NUM-
cipal plant there are no speculative
profits for any one.
A favorite argument and one that is
we'll worthy of consideration by any
honest man, is that the movement for
a municipal lighting plant is in effect
an effort to confscate a private in
