welfare and the development OF archi-

in the present-day drift from city to

widespread desire Of the people to

misnomer unless it carries with it the
sense of proprietorship. For man

INVENTOR OF II. :. SANDWICH
Named for an Earl, but Honor Has
With Reason Been Claimed
for Romans.

History dates the sandwich from
1853. In that year the earl Of Sand
wich-notorious as Jeremy Twitch-
er"-rebelled once and for all against
the tyranny of meal times. whereby,
each day the hours Of gambling were
curtailed.
Therefore, calling to the waiter
who having announced dinner, lowered
uneasily around the table-the earl;
ordered that pieces of meat should
be laid between two slices Of bread
and brought to him as he sat at play.
This was done, and the sandwich was
born
History does not relate whether the
earl's companions we're sufficiently de-
voted gamblers to acquiesce without
demur in the curtailment of their
meals, but great must have been tho
relief of cook and waiter when this
simple substitute for a meal of many
courses was adopted.

somewhat detracted from Jeremy

franchise then proposed should have

should be done quickly so that the
needed improvements shall not be de-
layed.
These few facts stand out promi-
nently.
Denison must have light and power.
The present company cannot long
continue to serve unless the franchise
is renewed The company cannot do
business without a franchise and the
city cannot do business without lights.
The sooner franchise is voted the
sooner we can have the needed i'm
provements. No sane men will invest
thousands of dollars unless they know
they can continue to do business.
No company is going to do business
unless assured of reasonable profit
and fair conditions.
Not being in condition for municipal
ownership at this time and having no
reason to believe that outside capital
could be interested under any more
favorable terms than can be secured
from the present company, it is the
duty and the necessity Of the council,
the business men, the citizens gener-
ally and the company to get together
in spirit of friendliness and bust
ness good sense and frame and pass
a franchise without unnecessary delay
and with good feeling all around.
We do not think the electric light
company need feel that there was any
unfriendliness indicated in the vote
at the recent election. Those who
know anything of the history OF such
elections know that they are usually
voted down at the first election. That
the franchise was defeated by so mar
row a margin and that it had the sup
port of such a large number OF the
most influential and substantial bust
ness men of the city ought rather to
be source of congratulation. If the
franchise needed fixing let us fix it
and then pass it without any fuss or
feathers.

prived of the right to do business.
They would be obliged to make the
patrons pay not only interest on the
investment, but also for the invest
ment itself, because they would be
confronted with the probability of hav-
ing the value of their plant reduced
to that of scrap heap by the denial
of an extended franchise.
There is every reason, therefore
why the city and the company should
get together on a businesslike propo
sition. No company, either new OF
old, is going to furnish light and pow
er for the city without adequate com
pensaticn Neither. can the rate of
profits be measured as would an in
vestment in farm lands. A man can
afford to lease a farm on a basis of
five or six per cent, because his land
is constantly increasing in value and
his real profit is in this appreciation.
With plant such as the electric light,
telephone or any other manufacturing
plant, especially of an electrical ma
ture, there is constant and heavy
for in figuring the profit and loss.
This loss comes not only from wear
and tear, but on account of the new
inventions which, in the electric field
especially are constantly replacing old
methods and machines with new ones.
For this reason any company, new
or old, will be obliged to receive ade-
quate compensation or else go bank
rupt. No one will take these chances
either for the fun of the thing or
through civic pride alone. A COM
pany of home men will come much
nearer doing it than "a company COM
posed Of outside capitalists. For in
stance, power is now furnished dur
ing the church service hours on Sun
day. There is no money in it for
the company, it is almost dead loss.
No outsiders would do it. 1t is done
because the owners are church mem
bers and citizens and wish to furnish
the necessary power and light for the
church-going people.
Again We hear it frequently urged
that our capitalists do not invest in
Denison, that they buy gold mines and
blue sky anywhere but in the town
where they have earned their compe-
tence. This is good talk. But it is bad
talk to throw bricks at the few who
have taken the lesson to heart and
who have invested in Denison, Iowa.
Leaving out all sentiment, however,
the franchise question remains before
the people for final settlement. Vot.
ing it down at this time does not set
tie it. All the expenses of such cleo
lions must be borne by those seeking
franchise. An election costs several
hundred dollars. We mean for the
necessary and legal expenses which
include cost of publication, printing OF
ballots, etc. No company will wish
to go through a considerable number
of such campaigns.
1t is now up to those who defeated
the franchise to propose substitute.
Something must be done. Shall we
have municipal ownership? Can we
have municipal ownership? Can we
it? How shall it be effected? Do We
