trick. The victim OF II Is told that the
game consists In passing n whistle

seated. while one standing In the mid
die is required to fnd It by Its sound
as 1t IL blown from time to time. Who
ever counts OUT for the game must
arrange that the player in the middle
is some one who does not know the
trick, which is played thus: The whis-
tie Is fastened to one end Of string
about a foot and half long. at the
other end OF which Is bent pin. The
pin is hooked into the clothes OF the
player In the middle OF the ring, so that
the whistle always hangs behind him.

Works case by the state Public Service Com
mission Not only the Richmond case
precedent Git was the first of its kind adjusted
by the Commission) but the Commission took
position absolutely new, in many ways, in the
history of rate regulation.
In determining the valuation of a plant for
rate making purposes, other Commissions have
endeavored to arrive at the possible selling price
of the plant in the current market in order to
fix this as the value. In the nature OF the case
such valuation includes many fictitious ingre
dients. But in the Richmond City Water Works
case the Indiana Commission endeavored to
ascertain the exact amount of money invested:
to this was added appreciation (due to increase
of value of real estate, etc. and from this total
was subtracted depreciation (due to wear and
tear of equipment, etc. The result was $75O,OOO.
This included $4,000 as going value" which,
according to the opinion expressed by the Com
mission, represents not early losses as usually
the term is understood, but the ingredient of val
ue represented by wise management. This
seems far more equitable method of valuation
than that used by other Commissions.
1t is also to be noted that for the first time
so far as can be ascertained, the Commission
took into consideration the value which the
company has been assessed for taxation a
legitimate factor in fixing the valuation for rate
making purposes.
In his carefully worked out brief, City Attor-
ney Bond had asked that meter rent be al
lowed. The Commission decided that two dollars
a year should be charged, not for meter rent,
but minimum rate. Many families will use
so little water to make the installation of the
service an actual loss to the company. This
minimum rate protects it against such losses.
Everything considered, the Commission has
been exceedingly fair, both to the people and
to the company. The latter's stockholders are
guaranteed reasonable return their invest
ment the former will receive their service at
lower rates 1t would that so far this
one case is concerned, the Commission has justi-
fled its existence.

A New Use for Senators

A certain Walter G.. Newman, once seaman,
more lately a self-styled Baron, but most lately
developed into the President of the Gold Hill
Consolidated Company, is a close friend of John
Shelton Williams, Comptroller of the Treasury.
Thereby hangs tale.
Using the good offices of this friendship as a
means of entrance Mr.. Newman succeeded in in
teresting divers and sundry Congressman and
other high officials in his gold mine scheme. So
indugent were they Of his rosy plans, Senators
Chiffon and Overman permitted the promoter
the use of their official stationery with the
result that Gold Hill stock made balloon ascen-
sions from Wall Street curbs.
That the ascensions were not without mis-
hap is suggested by the recognized authority on
gold mines, The Copper Hand Book. In describ-
ing a preceding venture in the Gold Hill mine
it says. This notorious promotion that
caught many Wall Street operators.
At the beginning of his administration, Presi-
dent Wilson declared it was the intent of his
party to hold the government up close to the
people Perhaps Senators Overman and Chiffon
understood this to mean that they were to hold
up the people close by the government

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Like an
irascible old school master who as
signs heavy tasks to his pupils just
as they hear the bell ringing for
dismissal from their desks, the MeXi-
can situation has called the diplomatic
corps in Washington back to affairs
of state just as it's members were
preparing to embark upon those sum
mer junkets which makes the labors
of the rest Of the year more endurable.
The capital city of Washington In
the days prior to the countrywide fe-
Yer for more legislation on number
Of timing, was a sleepy place, as a
rule, by the time June rolled around.
The great houses which range the ave
nues and streets of Washington-man-
sions of senators and representatives
in congress, embassies, legations and
such like and the town houses of
those wealthier people who delight to
reside here when affairs are astir-
all used to be closed up tightly when
the torrid season approached.

Stick to Jobs.
But all that is past, perspiring and
railing at fate and foreign offices,
trusts and insistent reformers, con-
gress and diplomats nowadays are
cheated out of their holidays to great
extent.
Senior Riano, the Spanish ambassa-
dor is among the leading victims of
this fate. The Mexican situation has
proved a disturbing factor in his af-
fairs. The senior and his family had
taken cottage in Newport in which
to while away the hot months. But
along came this Mexican situation
which has a particular claim on the
Spanish mission here, and the New
port cottage plans seem to have gone
by the board. Affairs of state and
foreign matters generally demand that
the Spanish ambassador stay in Wash

t;.uqua is a broad platform. It's pur-
pose is to save men and to help COM
munities. We know that Governor
Patterson can do this for he is now a
meek and lOwly follower of the NaZa-
rene. AS such it is our business to
defend him, for all the powers of hell
will be hurled against him by the
liquor forces as he is travelling along
his way trying to spread patriotism
and righteousness throughout his coun-
try.
Possibly the gentleman who wrote
that article did not understand this.

never before

it to the American Press Association,
