been done and that none Of the big
business men had made any effort to
make an investigation of the lighting
problem since the last meeting. He
stated that when the contract was
made with the company in 1906 the
club had gone on record In favor OF
the old rate Of 1875 cents but that
through the efforts Of Mr.. Moore and
other men in the city council at that
time the city had secured a rate Of

the city to pay 81 1-2 per cent more

Mr.. Moore's Views.
In his opening speech in support OF

clared that his interest in the mat
ter was that of a citizen and business
man whose relations with the COM
pany have always been pleasant but
who wanted relief from the excessive
rates charged by the company for
electricity. He said. in part:
when In the council, my attention
was first called to the excessive
charges Of the electric light company
by Mr.. Congdon, who stated to mo
that they were charging mining town
rates. They were then charging for
dwelling house use 1875. A new con-
tract was proposed by the company
and recommended by the light COM

at 10. The members of the council

How appropriate the above quota
ton must have seemed to the versatile
editorial pencil-pusher Of the morning
paper as he sat among the local lord
almighties at. the Commercial club
meeting last Monday night.
Gathered together in grand array
in veritable German style, these con-
servers Of the public interests; these
practical, ''hard-headed" business
men can now feel secure In the satis-
faction that once again they have
come to the rescue and wisely pre-
vented the simple and unthinking
people of this grand old burg from
plunging themselves into the bottom
less pit of financial ruin.
Surely goodness and mercy shall be
with our benefactors and moral wet
nurses all the. days Of their lives.
A Soothing Sight.
Sure, Hennessey, it was a soothing
sight for sore eyes. To have tho
blessed privilege of attending tina:
with our own optic organs our big
wholesalers, merchants, bankers, at
torneys and real estaters, men with
absolutely no axes to grind, no in
terest save that of the public welfare
at heart-to see it, Hennsessey, would
cause the tears to trickle down your
manly cheeks or cause your passions
to rise in inexcusable anger when ag-
itators like our mutual friend Casey
dare suggest that behind it all was
selfish purpose.
: Does the Duluth Edison deposit
with the First National? Well, what
Of It! Would this influence a vote in
favor Of regulation even If the COM
pany wanted regulation? Where is
he who dares suggest such a thing?
Take him by the nap OF the neck and
the seat ofsthe pants and consign hinas
to the street. He's an undesirable
citizen.
Does the general-manager of an
other public utility vote for regula-
tion? And what Of it? Where is he
who doubts that Herbert really be-
lieves in the justice and fairness Of
regulation-now
