REASON NOT RHETORIC

Several have asked why we did not last week reply
to the "roast"-as it was styled given by J. H.
Devenney in regard the electric light matter We did
not reply for the following reasons:-
1. We did not have time.
2 We had done said written nothing in the
electric light controversy except that which true
and fair and prompted by desire promote that which
for the best interests of the city of Morris and
truthfully tell the
g. Because every reader of this paper is competent
judge to whether not We have treated the whole
electric light controversy and everyone connected with
all sides of it fairly and it is therefore much more i'm
portant for do the fair thing than to assert that
do the fair thing.
4. Because do not desire that anything of a
personal nature should be allowed to call attention
from the weakness of Mr.. Devenneys position in urging
city light plant in competition with the present electric
light plant. No showing has been made that city
plant could furnish light any cheaper than it is now
being furnished and the question of Mr.. Stewards rights
the streets has been Mr. Stewards table
of comparative rates in towns having municipal plants
showing that the Morris the cheapest has
been disputed.
In deciding this question. the Taxpayers of the city
of Morris want facts such the council have made
honest attempt to give them and rhetoric per-
sonaties such as Mr.. Devenney has given them.
