The following from the Burlington

There are always busy rumors flying
about in Burlington and elsewhere A
late one is to the effect that the West

lington now controlled by the Walsh
interests. 1t Is one of the stories
which can not be verified, but the peo-
pie, who have heard it, are inclined to
believe that there is something in it.
They state, that the company controls
the public utilities in the Tri-Cities

and is now completing an electric line
between Muscatine and Davenport.
AS announced in these columns early
last week, the Western Electric Co.
has secured an option on the public
utilities of Fort Madison. And the
fact, that Mr.. Walsh secured this
option for the Western people, lends
color to the belief that the rumor con-
corning Burlington's utilities is not
entirely unfounded. There are people,
who claim to know, that all the pre-
Iliminaries have been thoroughly dis.
Icussed. and an arrangement has been
reached and that the papers have been
drawn and are awaiting the signatures
of the contracting parties.

that thousands of acres of new trees

The Final Solution.

What is the final solution of our
problems? From what direction will
light come? One doctor says adjust
our commercial life. But how? For
commerce Is selfish. 1t has never
heard of the Good Samaritan. 1t

and the poor. 1t has but one Bible:
its economic laws In its estimate
men are only commodities, and labor
something to be bought and sold.
Another says, II know what the world
needs and my party has the remedy"
What is your remedy? Higher wages
more money-a distribution of the
nations wealth? Some one else says
education will change the leopard's
spots and melt the heart of stone. 7
We must admit that money is a
great blessing and that many laborers
are under-paid. But money will never
cast out selfishness;; money has new

thing stands out distinctly, that wealth

the vilest type OF selfshness have
lived at the same time under the same
hat. Examples are too numerous to
name. Education with fine moral
principle is indispensable. Yet, educa-

motive nor moral passion. You may
