Some people have too many trou-

other peoples misfortuncs. Hence
the star route mail carriers got little
sympathy when the orders OF the
postmaster general suddenly and un-
eNpoctcdly increased the weight OF
parcel post packages and decreased
the postage. The public felt that It
was the gamer and had no thought Of
the men who had TO serve them hard
or without extra pay Some people
even began sending freight matter by
parcel post. while the contractor. who
had made his agreement under the
old laws and regulations, had to sup

the increased mail Senator Brady OF
Idaho said: The people Of our state

equitable postal rate, but they arc

knowledge the contractor not only
failed and had 20 give up his teams

years Of hardship in serving the peo-

Charges Against AFRO

Additional Damaging Facts
Against Man Brought
Out Since Agitation.

Newspaper men. and others who
nave become interested in the charges
which have been made against Police
Sergeant Henry Premer, are looking
forward to todays session of the city
commissioners with a great deal of
interest, as il is expected that at that
tlme some definite action will be
taken by the city fathers with refer

The charges which were placed in
the hands of Police Commissioner
"A. l.. Funk bore especially upon the
conduct of the officer and his atti-
tude toward those who sought the CO.
operation of his department.
IL was stated in the charges that
sergeant Premer at all times was very
arrogant IN his manner refusing to
assist those who sought information,
assistance or instruction from the de-
partrnent and tnat especially was this
true with respect to the newspaper
men who signed the charges against
him.
1t became known, since filing the
charsos, that on one occasion he took
IL upon himself to inform a person
seeking to secure the release of

Sofa, his daughter, who was
named after Davenport, Ia,
hummed a sweet Russian folk
song, "The Wearin' of the

up the vodka pudding.
Just then Yonkel Itch the
handsome hired man whom her
father had hired to help him tend

Water PoWer

The Shields bill, you think, never effect you
very closely. 1t has something to do with monopoly
of water power, you remember, but the whole the
question seems remote and far away from your spe-
cal interests.
Probably YOU have forgotten about the extraor-
dinarily cheap electric Lighting systems Of Switzer-
land and Norway, where waterfalls numerous,
and where water power is diverted in the best way
for the use of the people.
In Europe, also, there many instances OF cheap
electric railroad service, developed from tn use of
water power
The facts in the case of the Chicago Milwaukee e
st. Paul railway may bring the Importance Of this
subject home
One hundred and fifteen miles Of that road are
now being operated in the state OF Montana by
hydro-electric power. BY the first of june $50
miles of that system will be operated by hydro-elec-
tric, or falling water power.
Consider also that the cost of operating the Butte,
Anaconda Pacific railway has been reduced 80 1-3
per cent by being operated electrically.
AS soon congress can pass the right kind OF a
water power bill, results like the above will effect
railways all over the country.
Shall the big corporations be given the sole bene-
fit of the nations water power-and keep up their
big dividends!
Or shall the people profit by lower railway rates,
cleaner transportation cheaper electric lights!
Doesn't it look worth while to study up this water
power problem bit!
