WHY HE LOST OUT

An exchange expostulates on how
often good intentions come to naught
and, for example, quotes the follow
ing:
A young man not thousand miles
from here went, with his sister, to
Blanks Dry Goods store. He pur-
chased pair of gloves as a present
for his sweetheart. The sister bought
a pair of hose for herself. Of course,
the clerk got the packages mixed. The
explosion came when the young mans
sweetheart opened the gift package
and found a pair of long, black silk
stockings. She naturally blushed.
Then she opened the note and read
the following tender lines:
"I am sending you a little present.
Oh, how I wish that no other hands
than mine would ever be permitted to
touch them after you put them on.
But alas, a score of fellows may touch
them when I am not by your side, and
other eyes may see them when you
are Oh the street or at party. I

UTILITIES ASKING
FOR A RATE BOOST
Want Permission to Raise Rates
First and Then to Argue
the Case After the Price
Increase.
TOLEDO co. is BEATEN,
COMES BACK AT &c FARE

A bill before the legislature, if
passed, will practically give public
utilities the right to raise the price of
service on notification to the public
utilities commission that the raise is
intended, and advertise 80 days ahead
that the raise will be effective. It
will then, as it were, be up to the
commission to show that the raise is
not made necessary by operating con-
ditions. As it is now the utilities con-
cern must SHOW the commission first
and then raise the rates if it proves
its case. But the utilities people
want this reversed.
Vigilance is not only the price Of
peace, as the old porverb reads, but
it is that which will save us much
other "price" manipulation. An anx-
ious public might study conditions in
Cleveland and other Ohio cities at
this time.
In Cleveland, when the war came
on and thousands of Forest City boys
were in one branch of the service or
other, car traffic in Cleveland ran
down and it was necessary to raise
the fare to keep the guaranteed inter
est fund intact. But now the boys
are home, despite two wage boosts,
several considerable cross town ex-
tensions, increased cost of everything
in materials, the company last week
was able to announce reduction IN
fares, giving the Cleveland public
back half what was taken in the raise.
In Toledo the railway people said
they must have 10c fare, and when
refused run their cars out Of the state
to evade court injunction, etc. Now
the company seems pleased to accept
&c and get to earning money for divl-
dends again.
This should be a straw to indicate
which way the wind is blowing, be-
fore it has time to become gale.
Putting the two together it indicates
that having tried force in Toledo, and
seeing that the company suffered a
greater financial loss than the pub
| lie. they will now try and sneak a bill
through the legislature that in the
end will enable the railways and other
utilities to pilfer the pockets of the
people in a way that will fill the cof-
| fers of the rich corporations in the
end. ,.
The fact that the Republican State
committee has endorsed this measure
does not put it above suspicion. Me
dina citizens might do well to get
copy of this bill--if they can-an!
study it. A wide circulation OF suci
a measure before passage would b.
more to the liking Of wise publl
rather than after it has been made
law.

mons. Their are many historic events
chronicled in the Bible that it were
we'll both old and young were made
familiar with. And in no way can they
be so clearly outlined as by moving
pictures. Naturally using motion
picture in conjunction with an honest
to-God recital of the event will in
crease the instruction impaired in
geometric ratio as compared to the
old recitative propaganda, and the
good impaired will be many fold.
This Ohio pastor seems to be on the
right path toward great things in
teaching the Bible. But why confihe it
to the Bible? The plan is a good one,
hundreds will endorse it within a
short time, but if it is a good thing
for a pastor to show wholesome pic
lures, and lecture in illustration, why
is it SO bad for local theater to
show wholesome pictures on Sunday
afternoon, when hard working men
have more time to 60 to the show
with the little folks and enjoy their
company and see to it that they were
in good company?

Nebraska's Great University.

On Wednesday of this week registration will
commence for the ffty-frst year of active school
work at the University of Nebraska. This great
institution, the capstone of the great structure
of free education in this state begins its second
half-century with splendid prospects. Fervent
devotion to the spread of enlightenment moved
the pioneers of the state to lay broad and
substantial foundation for public education, on
which has been built up system that is a
source of justifable pride to all citizens. Not

in science and scholarship but in all other ways

D'Annurx;o's Bad Break.

The coup executed by Gabrielle d'Annunzio,
who entered Fiume at head of considerable
body of Italian soldiers and has undertaken to
establish himself there may charitably be looked
upon as an effect of his overheated poetic imagi-
nation. His capacity for dramatic conception and
poetic expression has led him into decidedly
delicate position. 1t was truly disappointing to
him, as to many other patriotic Italians that
Fiume was not awarded to Italy, but the
Italian government has accepted the judgment
of the Peace conference, and that should close
the incident. Friction between the Italians and
the Jugo-savs will not be lessened by the
spectacular performance of the group headed
by the excitable poet. Premier Nitti refers to
the supporters of d'Annunzio as "unatics be-
traying the cause of the fatherland" The Sc
rious aspect of the case includes possibility Of
civil war in Italy, for the disafection in the
army is considerable, and popular sentiment is
so divided as to give the seditious movement
strong support. The break of the warrior-poet
has not reached the limit of its effect yet

President and the Radicals.

President Wilson's interview with the Seattle
radicals" on Sunday holds something of a
disappointing quality. Just what transpired is
not fully known and perhaps never will be, but
the fact that group of "revolutionists," mas
querading as labor leaders, should obtain an
audience with the chief magistrate is in itself
sinistery significant, We may be sure that
the followers of Jim" Duncan will take his ad-
vice in preference to any the president gives, and
that he will not counsel the reds" of the Puget
sound country to behave themselves any better
in the future than they have in the past Their
demand for the release of political prisoners"
has quite as much show of right, though, as
that made by Upton Sinclair year or more
ago, but did not bring the results that followed
then. 1t is to be hoped that when Secretary
Tumulty gives out the record of what took
place at the conference, it will show more of
hrmness on part of the president than his
epitome exhibits.

II is Legend. Not Fact.

The legend. which the Kent folk
still like to tell, Of how Napoleon
once landed on the English coast
somewhere near Dover. has been
treated with a good deal more re-
spect by the playwright than by
the historian. Lack Of evidence. it
must be admitted. is a drawback to
the acceptance Of historic fact. but
when it comes to the basis of a
play, why fiction is as good if not
better than truth. The Kent Napo-
leonic legend which Mr.. Herbert
Trench has made such good use of
in his Napoleon might possibly be
true. and if 'le Petit Corporal had
set foot on English shores it would
have been Just as Mr.. Trench indi-

Better Pay for Postal Clerk

There are not few classes of workers who,
like the postal clerks, have the grievance that
their incomes have not increased in the same
ratio a. the cost of living. Some of these other
CLASSES are able to make their needs known and
ARE doing it, while the rest for one or another
reason, are without audible spokesman and are
mot receiving the attention they deserve. Ii
brarians and engineers were mentioned the
other day as among the neglected groups and
mentioned, too with an implication that the
groups from whom much is heard are making
100 much outcry, as if their woes were peculiar
Ito themselves.
That is not the position to take in dealing
/ with this subject. 1t is better to ejoice that
circumstances or persistence in some cases
have brought about the sort of publicity that
nearly always. sooner or later, leads to the
Iremedying of wrongs. The postal clerks differ
