The Oleott Amendment.

Since the regulation Of public utili-
ties by commissions Is an accepted
public policy, 1t is Of the utmost mo-
nent to the State. to the people. to the
labor and capital employed in those
utilities and to general finance and
business, In short, to everybody ex-
cept q few politicians. that the regu-
lators should be free from political
bias, not subject to the caprices and
changes Of politics, an independent
body whose orders are Of course re-
viewable by the courts. but which
should itself have the impartiality
and the security Of a court. New
York has had very recently its les
son in the need Of such guarantees.
II the commissions are to have per-
manently the services Of highly com
petent men and to enjoy the conf.
dence Of the public, they must not be
liable to be thrown out OF office for
political . or be forced to keep
an anxious eye when In office on the
kaleidoscope Of elections or the de-
mands of bosses. The supervision of
public utilities is a work at once ad-
m~inistrative, judicial and OF expert
precision.
That work should not be i~nterfered
with or boggledebotched by the Legis-
iature. A Legislature Is as ut to fix
rates, for instance. as IN elephant to
ny. Yet we e Legislatures after pro-
vlding special boards Of supervision
taking away from them part Of their
legitimate functions. What does a
Legislature know or care whether a
full crew law is needed or not: Are
there votes In IT,? Slap it on the
statute book.
IL public utilities are to be wisely
and justly conducted and controlled
then the power Of the commissions
should be ample, untamIpred with
BY the Legislature. They should be
safe from partisan malice. intrigue OF
ambition. They should have n dig
nifty and security of tenure common.

VALENTINE PARTY A SUCCESS.

the Eastern Star ladies in the Masonic hall was a success in every way. We lay this great success to the fact that it was managed by the ladies. Having been a close observer we see that everything that has taken place under their management has been successful.
 Now we don't want to take up too much space commenting the ladies for their management of the affair, for some of the boys had very important parts and evidenced they knew how to carry them out.
 First on program was a paper by Mrs. c. H. Colvin, which dealt exclusively with the men of the order and this paper gave us some light into the lives of some we hadn't suspected, but from now on we shall keep an eye on them.- Next came the elect ion of a King and Queen for the evening. This election was by by ballot, the popular vote re- suited in the election of l. R. Hill and Miss Mary Stacy, who immediately entered upon the duties of the offices.
 Next on program, shooting the valentine for partners. Here many of the young men showed their ability with the use of the bow and arrow for choice of the ladies for the march to follow, which we must say proved to be a new business to both the boys and the girls, which was evi- denced by the color which ap- peared on their cheeks. This was followed by Lovers March, led by little Miss Blossom Rus sell as cupid, followed by couples representing Oldest vers, Youngest Lovers, Arkansas Lov- CTS, Modern Lovers, Dutch Lov- CTS, Northern Lovers, Southern, Lovers, Jack and Jill, Uncle Sam and Goddess of Liberty, John Alden and Priscilla, Colo nial Bill, Old Maid, and Berry vile Lovers.
 At the conclusion of this drill a popular vote was taken for the prize couple, which was won by the Arkansas Lovers.
 Each and every couple repre- sented their parts well and we regret we are not able to make special and personal mention of each one, but right here we want to admit that we are not capable of doing so, as our time was so occupied trying to see everything, that possibly we have gotten things a little mix ed anyway, and if we have failed to make mention of any couple or individual it is unintentional on our part-and just now some thing comes into our mind, and that is the punch bowl, which was filled to the brim with the finest cherry punch that we ever put our lips over. Will say for one and all that we had the the time of our live and wish to express our appreciation and thanks to the ladies of the East ern Star.
