ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT IN
CREASES BUSINESS

On investigation, we find that
the City Light Plant has in
creased its business considera-
bly, since the first of January,
1915, at which time there were
313 customers consuming light
or power. On November l, 1915,
there were 1913 customers, an
increase of Is. This means that
this many more homes and bus
mess places are users of cleo
tricity. We understand that
there are several more homes to
be wired in the near future.
These conditions speak well for
the plant and go to show that
there is an optOmistic feeling
pervading the city.

AN INTERESTING LETTER
FROM ONE OF THE BOYS
Leadwood, Mo.


Mr.. Editor: AS a laboring
man, am interested in the out
come of the present disturbed
conditions existing among the
stockholders of the st. Joseph
Lead Company. For many years
| have been more or less famil-
lar with the affairs of this con-
Germ. | knew it in the days of
C. B. Parsons judicious, hui
name management. Then the
men were contented, their wag-
es were good. Their home life
was much pleasanter and hap
pier than the average mining
town. / think the reason for
this is, that Mr.. Parsons living
among the men, knowing them
and their conditions intimately,
and being honest in heart endea-
vored to give to each and every
man a just and reasonable share
of recompence for the part he
took in building up the concern.
have known the company
since Mr.. Parsons death, when
the active control passed into
the hands of men who are
strangers to the real situation
are not in sympathy with the
common man and are wholly out
of touch and at variance with
actual conditions as they exist.
They do not understand the sit
uation because they do not live
here and the only time they ev-
er see the place is when they
make their special trips here,
and of course under such cir
cumstances can at best get only
a superficial knowledge of the
situation. The whole story of
the life and welfare of any en-
terprise is never told in tables
of statistics. There is a human
side that must be taken into ac-
count. This is our part in the
structure. What the company
needs more just now than any
thing else is to have it's manage
ment in the hands of men who
actually live here and know the
conditions at first hand.
Mr.. Robert Holmes of st.
Louis is such a man. If he were
on the Board of Directors, to-
gether with enough other native
Missourians, l believe the COM
pany's troubles would cease and
the men would be happy and
contented as formerly. This is
not merely an opinion. 1t is the
conviction of hosts of the men
who labor for the company.
ONE OF THE BOYS.

DO YOU WANT A GOOD
 GOVERNMENT POSITION?

No one wants the appointment as deputy State Labor Commissioners. Here is good State job going tegg- ing because no one feels qualified to fill it. The place became vacant about a month ago and is still unified be- cause Commissioner J. c. Clary can not find a patriotic citizen who is will ing to accept it. So far he has only received 264 letters asking for the ap- pointment, besides as many personal applications. In the lot are preach ers, lawyers, labor leaders, and mem bers of the last General Assembly. Commissioner Clary does not want ap- plicants though, for he is seeking q man who does not want the job, be- lieving in that way that the State will get man of higher calibre.

ARKANSAS NEW REFORM
 SCHOOL FOR BOYS
Credit Should go to Misses Julia HOus- ton, of Pine Bluff and Erie Chal- mers of Little ROck-DOnat-
 ed Tract of Land.

To Misses Julia Houston of Pine Bluff and Erie Chalmers of Little Rock, must go the credit for new Arkansas reform school for boys, as we'll as a detention home for girls. For the past eight years Arkansas has indulged in a rather expensive luxury in the way of a reform school. The City of Little Rock donated a tract of land, south of the city, in or der to secure the institution. The site would have been a valuable one for a rock crusher, but worthless as a place where robust youths were to be made useful in farming pursuits. About thirty acres of it could be scratched over, but this was merely garden for so many boys, so they spent most of their day resting in the shade of the trees and eating at the expense of the taxpayers. The school was a dead expense, for the inmates produc- ed nothing. This place will make an ideal detention home for girls, as they are not used at farm work, though they can easily keep up the garden and make the maintenance bill small CT.
 The new reform school for boys will be located by the penitentiary com mission, on a farm somewhere near Little Rock, where practically every acre is tillable, and the farm thus be made to sustain the institution, as does the penitentiary. This is the only institution besides the penitentiary that the state government may well expect to be self sustaining.
 Miss Houston, who has qualified for this class of work through study in Chicago and other places, and Miss Chalmers, detention officer in Little Rock, worked with the legislature and secured the passage of the bill which provided for these changes. and Appropriated a sum sufficient to buy the new farm and erect building there.

DENY BILL WAS ANTl-
 CATHOLIC MEASURE
Protestant Members House and Sen ate Who Forced Passage POsey- Steed Bill Was so Considered
 on Account Opposition

Protestant members of the House and Senate who forced the passage of the Posey-Steed bill for the inspec- tion of all asylums, hospitals, orphan ages, and convents, declare that this b l is not an anti-Catholic measure, land was only considered so be .ause of the fact that at was opposed by Ca tholics. They state that protestants are more interested than any one. hav- ing so many more institutions, but they did not oppose the law because they believe if an institution needs changes, that an inspection is neces- sary. As the Catholics alone fought the bill, because the word convent was in it, the document became known as an anti Catholic bill. To prove what they say, the members who sup ported the Posey bill have already taken steps to force investigation of several non-sectarian and protestant orphanages of the State, and others will follow.

ASSEMBLY IGNORED
 TWO DEPARTMENTS
Governor Will Probably Issue Procla nation Declaring Emergency Maintenance State Capitol
 and Feed Inspection.

Two departments of the state gov ernment were ignored, so far as appro- prlatlons are concerned, by the Gener- al Assembly, and Gov. Hays will pro- bably isue a proclamation, at the end of the biennial period March 31, de- clarmg an emergency in them, and thus provide for their continuance. One is for the maintenance of the State Capitol, and the other is for fer ti'izer and feed inspection by the De- rartment of Agriculture.
 The Senate passed the Capitol ap- proprlation bill, but the House so amended it that the Governor might appoint a new Commission, even though the old Commission had gone on record with the statement that it could wind up it's affairs and retire within three months. After that time there would have been no use for a Commission, as all the constructive work would have been completed. The Senate refused to concur in the a. mendments, but the House, evidently thinking the Senate was deeply inter- ested in the matter, refused to recede The Senate was not so deply inter- ested as the House supposed, so the old Capitol Commission goes on with lit tie work to do. The Capitol tax of one eighth mill also continues. This totals about $50,000 for the biennial period but it cannot be spent fol maintenance unless specifically pro- vided
 It was the Senate that refused tc Appropriate for the inspection work President Elmer J. Lundy led the f ,ht against the bill in the Senate ana cut out every item of the $70,000 appro. priation. Then the House endeavorec to add this item to the general appro- priation bill, but the Senate declined to accept the agreement, and the cof,- ference committee appointed by tle House agreed that it be receded from so the last chance passed.

Senator Fntrell naturally felt honored by the many entreaties, but replied to all that the Constitution prevented his becoming a candidate until his term as Senator expired, but even were he free, he would decline, as he had enough of the office in the few months he had been called on to serve the people.
 The people have never forgotten the manner in which Senator Futrell handled the office of Governor, and his record in the past session only heightened the interest of his friends in his political future.

STRONG AND DEWEIN RECEIVE CONTINUATION
Majority of Jury Which Convicted Youths Sign Petition Stating they Would Have Given Them Life
 Sentence Had Been Legal

As a majority of the jury which convicted Clarence Dewein and Joe Strong for the murder of an aged merchant at Benton, will sign a pe- tition stating they would have assess ed life punishment instead of death sentence had it been legal for them to do so, Gov. Hays will soon issue a proclamation granting them a life sentence in the penitentiary. The pas sage of the Davenport bill giving the juries in capital punishment cases this latitude, saves Dewein and Strong.
 Strong and Dewein will now be re- moved from the death cell, which they have occupied for over a year, and from which they saw Arthur Till man and Arthur Hodges taken to the electric chair, and sent to the State farm where they will be given em- ployment.
 There was some oposition to a bill which absolutely abolished capital punishment, many arguing that it would increase murder and other crimes in the state. The Davenport bill was introduced after three bills to abolish capital punishment had been introduced.
