that the present Legislature would pass a bill
allowing perpetual franchises to be granted,
but the administration leaders were taken
greatly by surprise last week when the assem-
bly, passed an amendment to the proposed new
law providing that when q water power fran
chise is granted valuation must be made and
the municipality granting said franchise be al
lowed to purchase it after thirty years at the
original valuation. The people OF the state are
to be congratulated on their narrow escape from
being exploited.

And now | want to ask you what
you would think of Barabbas today
had he done any less than | have
imagined for him? Through what
Jesus did in taking his place, all that
the law had against him was wiped
out. Not one of you but will say that
he ought to have used the life that
was given back to him in doing all
the good he could. That's what you
say, every one of you, know it, but
listen to me-what Jesus did for Ba-
rabbas He has done for you and me.
He took our place under the law
and died in our stead. He was
wounded for our transgressions and
was bruised for our iniquities; the
chastisement of our peace was upon
Him; and with His stripes we are
healed" Nothing could save us from
the wrath of God and eternal death
but the sacrifice of Jesus, and know
ing this He freely poured out His
blood for us, and now what kind of
men are we if we will not undertake
to live for Him? / want you to see
in Him today your substitute-your
sacrifice fulfIlment of Gods
law. want you to see in Him every
thing in the way of righteousness
that God expects of you. Are you
willing to accept Him today for all
that God wants Him to be for you?

MORTON L. JOHNSON FOR
nEPMAN


No man in Chicago has worked
harder or done more to prevent the
telephone deal being put over on the
people than Morton L. Johnson, pres
ident and organizer of the Penny
Phone league. He has explained to
the people in every part of the city
what it meant to them if the phone
trust was permitted to absorb the
automatic plant and prevent munic-
ipal ownership of the telephone sys-
TEN.
He has attended council commit
tee meetings, has met the representa-
tives of the phone trust and night
and day, whenever he was needed,
was on the job fighting for the phone
users of Chicago and the many thou
sands who would be phone users if
President Johnson'c plans we're to be
put through.
Mr.. Johnson is now running for
alderman on the Socialist ticket in
the 33rd ward, and his public spirit
and knowledge of public affairs
from the standpoint of the people
would make him a most valuable
member of the city council AS a
member of that body he would be in
much better position to fight the peo-
pies battles and save the telephone
system than he is now.
Readers of The Day Book are ia
miliar with the history of the attempt
of the phone trust to get councils
consent to buy the Automatic, junk
that plant and add over $6,OOO,OOO to
the valuation of the Chicago Tele-
phone Co., on which valuation phone
users would have to pay rates high
enough to take care of the interest.
Johnson has earned the confidence
of the people by his efforts in their
behalf, and without regard to party.
He was born in Chicago in 1874, ed
ucated in the public day and night
schools and Lewis institute. He has
