The Talkative Auditor.

Another thing. II seems too bad
that there are people in an audience
at every program Of good music who
persist in talking in audible tones dur
ing performance. It seems too bad
that they have no more consideration
Of those about them and for the per-
formers, and why do they attend per-
formances IL they have other things
to talk about during the presentation ?
This was especially noticeable yester-
day afternoon and greatly annoyed the
singers and the director Of the orches-
ira, who repeatedly shot threatening
glances at the disturbers-and the pity
was that the takers were young wom-

save in some homes where gas or arti-
fetal light other than electric is used.
In many residences candles were
brought forth and placed to use and
the public was given a good idea of
conditions prevailing a half century
ago
Practically all traffic in the tri-
cities ceased or moved very slowly.
The only lights on the streets were
those Of automobiles Many women
became frightened and ran to stores
where gas jets were burning, but the
public in general apparently took the
matter good naturedly. Rock Island
seemed as silent as it was dark
during the time that lights were out.
There was a blaze OF white as the

business was resumed and pedestrians
continued on their way.
Plants Idle.
Many plants in the tri-cities operate
with electric power at night and these
were all idle until the current was
turned on The street cars were de-
layed one-half hour. This was ex-
planned today by an official of the
Peoples Power company who said that
the lights are always turned on first
OF first Importance He said that it
requires some little time to start the
start cars in operation after a break
down because the power is relayed to
substations and then distributed to
street car lines.
The Moline power plant is equipped
to care for double the load needed in
the tri-cities. Breakdowns such as
that of last evening cannot cause trou-
BILE of long duration. an official of the
company said He declared that as
soon as the regular generator broke
down work Immediately began on
starting the reserve in operation. This
required about eight minutes.
There were many unusual situations
arising as a result of the total dark
ness. In one theatre lantern and
candle were brought out on the stage.
It is estimated that fully 100000 peo-
pie were directly affected when the
lights went out

OF the law, and the tax commission is
an instrument designed to equaliZe
taxes and in time to make all proper
ty owners pay on the same basis.
Ihe public mind is setting toward
honest tax returns and fair assess
ments; and while the technicalities of
the law may defeat the object Of the
tax commission law for time it is
impossible to block reform that is
fundamentally sound, honest and
greatly needed.
Everything that Mr.. Van Deventer
says in his letter, printed today, in
reference to the shade trees Of sum-
ter, the lack Of care given them and
the needless destruction Of trees that
have been fifty years in attaining
their present size and beauty
is all entirely true. The Daily
Item harped on this subject
for years until we came to the con-
clusion that we had fatigued public
intelligence or failed to arouse the
interest of the community. The Ia
dies Of the Civic League have, also
expended great deal of time and
effort in the attempt to arouse in
terest in the care and preservation of
the trees. They have spent consider
able money in having few trees
treated by Davy tree experts as an
object lesson to show that it is not
necessary to cut down every tree that
has begun to decay. The trees thus
treated are now in good condition and
will probably live and flourish for
many years. But the hope of arous-
ing live public interest leading to
the systematic care Of the trees has
been futile. The people are generally
Indifferent for they have the Ingram
ed belief that nothing is so cheap and
common as tree. We hope Mr..
Van Deventer will succeed in Great
ing a sentiment in favor of saving our
trees and that he will receive imme-
date and substantial support.
