REGULATION BETTER THAN OWNERSHIP.

"A fair rate for electricity with moderate fran
chise is better than municipal ownership" said
Mayor OFT of Independence, No. at a hearing be-
fore the Missour'S public Utilities Commission at
Jefferson City.
II will say that at tie present time our municipal
plant at Independence is getting along fairly well,
but we have judgments of al 900 rendered against
us by the courts for personal injury which remains
TO be paid. 1t is going to be problem as to how
this money will be raised
'There is another problem that will confront
municipal plant at the beginning. 1t costs about
SIC to install the lighting system in residence. If
you have thousand consumers it will cost SIG 600
for that, so NOu there are other charges be-
sides the installation of the plant
Under our present form of government ii is
impossible to keep municipal plant out of pol
tiles. You know what that means Every change

LIFE AND DEATH.

From the editorial page of our friend, Mr. Sibley
of the Gallipolis Daily Tribune, we take this
thought:
Sometimes the world seems very gloomy
place. When Affections come, when death parts us
from longtime friends and we must go on in the
tread-mill of existence without a familiar form
by us, with loved comrade sleeping his last long
sleep, the of the world seem hard to bear and
doubts assa one But after all the world is COED
place to be, the journey of life has more flowers
than thorns, and there is always silver lining to
the clouds. If one goes, there are many left and
for the one who has gone. how many there are to
greet him on the other shore
''Just think for moment of the men who have
shaken off mortality in this one town during the
past twenty years, and what privilege it must be
to meet and greet them in the other world SO LET
the dead enjoy the dead, while the living follow
their many ways until the call comes to them to lie
down amid the innumerabe thrOng Portsmouth

carelessly tossed away the burning match-a habit
rather common TO cigarette smokers The match
fell on the hemp and set it on fire The driver had
to hurry to escape going up in smoke along with

hands badly in the effort to cXtnguish the flames,

for loosening up muscles, and a row
of defeats are almost certain for both
teams, as they will be battling against
athletes who have been on the coast
most of the winter, and are already in
condition.
GIeason's fear is that his workmen,
stung by defeat, may cut loose too
fiercely in an effort to stem the tide,
and strained muscles will be their
portion. He will attempt to impress
on them the fact that games won
now do not count in the standing of
the American League, and that they
are only after practice, not scalps.

TEACHING CITIZENS

BEING ENCOURAGED
RIFLE CLUBS BEING ORGANIZED
UNDER RECENTLY ENACT.
Ed LAW.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE war
in Europe has stimulated interest in
private rife clubs under the provi-
sions Of the recently enacted law
authorizing the secretary of war to
issue rifles and ammunition to citi-
gems who agree to engage in practice
shooting. The secretary has dele
gated the work of promoting the or
ganization of citizens clubs to the
National Rifle association of America.
The law has been in operation four
months, and within that period forty
rifle clubs have organized and affili-
ated themselves with the National
Rifle association, which has adopted
the laconic order of Lcrd Kitchener,
Teach the men to shoots
Under the law the secretary will
issue the rifles with which the regu-
lar army was formerly equipped, pop
ularly known as the "Krag." 1t is
said to be the equal of any of the
rifles now being used in the present
war. With each rife will go II
rounds of ammunition, a like amount
to be issued annually to every club
member who will guarantee to use it
in practice shooting as prescribed by
the war department
The government owns only one
large range. near Sparta, Wis, which
at present is out of commission.
There are small ranges at or near
most of the army posts, but they are
used only at stated times each year
for the practice of the local garrison.
Practically all of the states have
ranges for the National Guard. but
owing to restrictions and lack OF

.CONCENTRATOR FOR
UNION MINE ORE
PROPOSES TO MAKE A THRIVING
CAMP AT UNION,
EUREKA.

L. r. Thatcher, who spent the past
week in Eureka in the interest OF his
candidacy for state senator of Eureka
county returned to Union district
Thursday. Before leaving, in an In
terview with a Sentinel represents
tive, he stated that the company of
which he was the general manager
would erect a new concentrating
plant to work the ores of the Union
Mines company's eight claims in
Union mining district He said plans
and specifications had been submitted
for new 100-ton concentrating plant,
that they had been accepted by the
company. and that the construction
work would be commenced about
January 10. The specifications call
for the completion of the concentrat.
ing plant before the winter of 1915.
The Union Mines company was Or
ganized in Philadelphia last May at.
ter the mines had been proved by
several months careful development
work to be property that would
eventually pay them handsomely.
Mr. Thatcher came to Eureka coun-
ty about four years ago and was
successful in his operations at Buck
horn. Later he secured an option on
the Lindsay group of eight mining
claims in Union district, about fifty
miles north of Eureka, which under
Mr. Thatcher's management, is now
actively developing, and which the
latter believes will be a thriving
camp within the next year.

PRIME MINISTER
IS SUBJECT TO
THE WAR CENSOR
LORD KITCHENER MEMORABLE
IN ENFORCING MILITARY
RULES.

LONDON, Nov l2.-Even the
prime minister is not exempt from
the censorship which Lord Kitchener
has established to prevent the leak
age in or from this country of any
news which conceivably might be of
use to the enemy. There was a strik-
ing instance of this on the night
OF Mr.. Asquith's speech in Dublin
when he announced, five days before
the news was supposed to be releas-
ed, that the Indian troops had dis
embarked that day at Marseilles. AS
the report of his speech came by in
land telegram it escaped the cable
censorship and as IL was a speech by
the head of the government it never
occurred to any one in any of the
London newspaper offices that it
ought to be submitted to the eensors
at the press bureau. At a. M,
however. on the morning after the
speech the chief censor at the press
bureau obtained copies of the first
editions of the Londan papers with
the prime minister's speech, and he
at once got busy. He called up every
paper in London and first ordered
and then implored them to kill" the
reference to the Indian troops. Some
of the papers were able to do so In
part of their editions, but others had
completed printing and the news
had to go out to the country. | un-
derstand. however, that the cable
censors managed to prevent 1t going
abroad.
The leader of the opposition, Bonar
Law has also felt the heavy hand of
| the censor, who in this case was f.

henchmen. Laws attack on Asquith
