THE LIGHT AND
WATER MEETING.

The meeting called for last Mon
day evening at the Commercial
Club rooms to talk over the Light
and Water Plant proposition was
well attended and much interest
was manifested in the matter.
DR.. Robson, president of the
Commercial Club, acted as chair
man, and f. D. ISern secretary.
Supt. of Water and Light Depart
ment HeagIer was the first man
called on TO speak and he opened
the meeting by telling the condi-
ton Of the present steam plant,
how the boilers were fast wearing
out and that within two years
they would have to be replaced
or some other plan worked out for
power. He gave The costs of the
various plans suggested-that of
putting in new boilers, installing
oil engines, or getting current
from the Interstate plant at Great
Bend.
Councilman E. D. ISern and
Mic Sprinkler and City Clerk Steck-
ell then gave accounts of their
trips to the various towns visited
for the purpose of examining
plants-Sterling, Russell, HOising-
ton, Lyons, Nickerson-and May
or Speirs described the plants Wis
tied by him. and Supt. Heagler at
Lyndon and Usage City in Usage
county.
Mr.. Moe, proprietor of the elec-
tric plant at KinSley, was present
and gave a very good description
of the operation and cost of his
plant. The matter was threShed
over pretty thoroughly, many
questions were asked by different
parties, and after report of the
financial condition of the city and
plant by City Treasurer Johnson,
a straw vote was taken 10 find the
sentiment of those present in re-
gard to the matter. The vote re-
suited in a three to one vote for
the plan of buying current from
Great Bend.
Some considerable spirit was
manifested and the light plant was
almost the sole topic of converSa-
ton on the street Tuesday, even
to the exclusion of the European
war. The council is still pretty
much up in the air over the ques-
ton and it is not at all probable
that anything will be done until
after the spring city election. The
question may be the sole issue in
the coming spring election, and if
it is we are due for a warm time.
1t must be settled within a few
months, some way, that is sure.

Dissolution Inevitable

interest in the different companies,
created out OF the tobacco trust Is
very greatly changed, and that it must
entirely disappear within reasonably
short time. That is the inevitable re-
suit of dividing the business among
dozen or more companies and enJoin-
ing those companies from doing the
only things that can prevent the play
OF the natural tendency of men to
compete with each other for the re-
wards OF enterprise. People will get
tired of running one company in com
petition with another and yet holding
stock in both. There soon must come
a time when they will voluntarily sep
arate their interests and Independent
ownership and actual competition fol
low.
"The big combination was built up
with the aid Of legislation. 1t was
compelled to dissolve as result OF
legislation. The process OF building
took more than twenty years The re-
suits of dissolution do not follow as
by the wave OF an enchanter's wand
They take time. If within two or three
years twenty years monopolistic
growth is undone, surely the public
should be satisfied Great reforms in
govarnment are achieved gradually
II is one of the functions of trained
minds, such as yours, to point out
this fact to the people and teach

Negro Youth, Convicted Of Murder,
Had Been Bartered by Mother.

Elkton, Md, March S.-James Par
away, the 15-year-old negro youth who
confessed that he struck the blow
which killed James r. Coleman, a
Kent county farmer, last December,
was convicted of irst-degree murder
today and sentenced to Imprisonment
for life in the Maryland penitentiary,
Paraway's attorneys tried to prove
that the boy is mentally deficient Dur
ing the course of the testimony it de-
veloped that Paraway's mother, who
cannot be found, traded him to farm
er for a pig, when he was a small
boy.
Norman Maybell, the other negro
concerned in the murder, was yester
day found guilty of murder In tht
second degree. Robbery was the mo
