PLAYER NOT REAL MANAGER

1t is a pleasant thing to be the
owner of a business, and sometimes
entities a man to credit.
But it ALWAYS a magnificent
thing to be the MANAGER of a BUSH
ness.
Sometimes at clubs, trade owen
tons and social pow-wows o hear
the owners Of tremendous businesses
telling how they keep their mind in
trim through golf, miscellaneous
piffle and automobile rides, SO that
THEIR mental batteries can keep the
wheels turning by virtue of three or
our hours work a day, while the
common herd sweat and struggle
going down of the same. This Is A
pleasant little fiction. These men
are not zeal managers of the bust
ness. They are merely the owners
who believe they are managers be-
cause some fellow c~onsults with them
Of points he has already mastered and
decided.
1t is a delightful thing to run a
business, but a baby 3 years old can
do it if his father was smart enough.
And the baby will usually III it
better than the four-hour-a-day golf
player, because he will countermand
none of the real managers i~nstruc-
tions.
The world takes its hat off, not to
the throne. but the power behind the
throne-to the man who is actually
on the Job. The owner of the boat
may claim he won the boat race, but
he has another guess coming. The
man who won it was the one who
built and ran the engine and kept
the machinery oiled.

GAS AS A FUEL.

The possibilities of manufactured
gas as a fuel are ordinarily consider
ed small. with the rates that prevail
in American cities. In st. Louis a
company is now advertising a rate of
so cents per 1000 cubic feet for all
gas over and above the first 10000
cubic feet each month, for which a
charge of 80 cents per 1000 cubic
feet is made.
1t has been figured that with gas at
81 per 1000 cubic feet the heat
equivalent is to be found in hard
coal at about $12 a ton. The ST.
Louis company warns patrons thai
the cost of gas as q fuel will be
somewhat in excess of hard coal at
So per ton" But 1t emphasizes the
advantages and monetary saving in
gas because Of the cost of janitor
service. ash handling, cleanliness and
control of the heat.
Perhaps in time the burning OF
coal under boilers and furnaces In
city dwellings will be generally
abandoned; a central plant will sup
ply the heat-producing means
whether a electricity or some other
form of utilizabe energy. If that

Now there is the other side to the
question. When q poor litigant is
compelled to take time from his work
and pay a lawyer for his time while
they try a case involving ony $25 or
$50 in a court ten or fifteen miles
from his place OF residence, II works
an injustice and tends to promote
miscarriages of justice.
What the county needs is the au-
thority for the establishment of
municipal courts with jurisdiction up

1t will also tend to increase the
