The bill providing for a penal farm

though the matter thus comes up for
discussion late in the season, thai fact
should not initiate against the speedy
passage of a bill creating penal
farm. The subject is one which mas

recommended. We do not recall hav-

heard of none.

addition to the folly of the proposal it
would appear to be the rankest kind
of class legislation.
Indiana people are just beginning tc
learn the beauty and enjoyment held
in our northern lakes. They go there
in the summer days to be free for a
season from taxes and tax collectors

insufferable proposition that any tax

stock. It further provided that the
utility be given the initiative in rails
ing rates to be charged and the COM
mission was to subsequently act there
on, in other words, it was to be a
game of follow the leader" with the
corporations as leaders.
Mr.. Campbell further decries the
utilities bill by saying, at practically
gives to the corporations a perpetual
franchise and is just what they want"
Mr. Campfield CONSTITUTES the "inde-
terminate franchise" to be "perpet-
ual." Had he told the whole truth he
would have said that the life of the
! franchise is determined by the justice
of corporate dealings with the people
and instead of its being granted for
! a specific period of 25 years, it can
be repealed under the utility bill any
time the corporation fails to render
to the people such services and such
rates as the commission in their judg-
ment considers the public entitled to.

Campbell is not looked upon as a
factor in the solution of this problem.
His action in the whole matter is very
suggestive that what concerns him is
not so much that the people of Rich

them, as it is that he be recognized as

BEARS HAD NO
USE FOR HAT

John Hanan, head mailman of the
Hotel DUPONT. had an experience with
two bears yesterday afternoon in
Brandywine Park and as a result he
had to return to the hotel without
the good fedora hat which accom-
panied him on his visit to the park
Like many of the employees of the
hotel, Mr. Hanan has been in the habit
of taking stroll in the park after
work Yesterday afternoon he decided
to visit the Zoo
While standing in front Of the bear
cages a sudden gust of wind swept
his hat off his head and into the bear
cage. Both bears were asleep but
the hat struck one Of them and Mr.
Sleepy Bear gradually opened his
eyes and decided to investigate the
cause of the intrusion He began
to pace the floor of the pit and finally
spied the hat The other bear also
saw il. and, picking up the new fedora
began TO walk up and down playing
with the hotel mans chepeau with
evident delight
Mr.. Hanan tried to detract the ami
mails attention with a big stick but
bruin refused to leave the present
which nature had Just brought to him
After playing with IL few mo-
ments, both bears decided to tear the
hat to pieces, and tear they did Mr.
Hanan stood by and watched his hat
disappear and in a few moments the
pit was covered with felt
He was forced to return to the hotel
without headgear.
