STEPHEN E. DILLON.

The resignation of stephen p Dil lon as the general manager of the public utilities of the city is an nounced this morning Mir. Dillon yesterday forwarded that resignation tc the ownership of the utilities
 The withdrawal of Mir Dlllon from this most important place is a hard blow to the city. There is no man within the circle of our knowledge so peculiarly fitted to represent a public service corporation as is Ste phen E. Dillon.
 Honest, sincere, unselfish, his in tegrity never matter Of question, and his great human heart ever beat. ing in unison with the poor and the oppressed, and a man willing by day or night to answer the call of trouble, he was the antithesis of all that might have been expected at the head of a corporation; yet his business acumen rendered him qualified at all times for so responsible a business position.
 Mir. Dillon assigned no reason for his resignation. No doubt he had many that might have been assigned We do know many of the difficulties that he has encountered and we know much of his worth as a busi- ness man
 As citizen Mir Dillon represents the highest type. All the altrib tes that go to make up ideal citizenship seems 10 he lodged within this man, He is not self seeker. He strives tor the benefit of all with apparently the same zeal that he might strive were his to be directly the benefit.
 Not a progressive public movement has been made in Hot Springs in many years aside from the establish ment of the Great White Way-the lighting of Central avenue by the present system in lieu of the here and-there electric arc that used to be the rule. Hot Springs owes that im- provement to MT. Dillon, for it was not paid for by the people, not sds- tained in contractual relation by the city, and would have never been in stalled save for the quiet but earnest insistence of Stephen F. Dillon
 In the matter of advertising Hot Sprines Mr. ECllon has always been a supporter and always was of the belief that if the resort was properly advertised the response would be such that there would be prosperity for every man. He has brought conventions to Hot Springs in his quiet unassuming way, and has seen the glory claimed by others without ever the lifting of his voice He didn't want the credit; he wanted the city to get the benefit of the con vention. That has been his rule a. ways.
 We hope sincerely that stephen E. Dillon will remain in Hot Springs. Hot Springs mas too few such men, and needs more of them sadly, to see him go to other fields In his quiet way nc has been a pillar and a sup port and will be missed sadly should he depart

The giant squid is the largest animal in point of length that exists or ever did exist. It destroys its prey by en- folding it in it's huge snakelike arms, white it blackens and poisons the water With its inky fluid. It is q relative of the octopus, which Is also furnished with arms, but the latter creature is smaller and considerably different in structure.

Women and HousecIeanlnn.

When a woman returns from a months visit she says, "Oh, how l dread to begin cleaning up this house." But she doesn't. You can tell by the glee with which she selzes the broom and the duster and stirs up a great cloud of dust that she Is now realizing that which she has eagerly anticipated all the time she was away. There is nothing q woman enjoys so much as kicking up a dust. For the dust is sure to come down again, and the source of fun is never exhausted.- Kansas City Star.

GET AWAY FROM EXPERTS.

The action on the part of the city commissioners to make an investlga ton of the public utilities affairs to ascertain whether the increased prices for public service commodities are justified, is timely.
 The investigation, in so far as a probe into the quality of the service is concerned, will only reveal what we all know.
 The gas situation is one that needs no probe to reveal the truth, The original gas company which set about 10 pipe gas a distance of several hun. dred miles, from the Caddo, 1.ouisi- ana, fields here. was speculating on an uncertainty. The speculation proved the method practical in so far bringing the gas this far was con eerned- but there had net been enough money put into the original eamble, and the work was not done n permanent manner. The gas company then sold it's project to an ether company, and the other com nany has not rebuilt on lines that will be necessary before the gas sup ply system is dependable, The local company, depending on the gas sup ny source in Louisiana, is helpless,
 la the state at large should coop
 ate to a solution of this question.
 The water supply system for Hot brings offers more of a problem. here the situation is purely local. A water supply system was established
 ny years ago for q small city. That system has been Cutgrown Thore is not enough water in the water shed from which the supply is furnished and in the simmer months here is not enough water for the Hot Springs os today. The problem Is also burdened by the fact that new A maiusS generally about the city must 4he- --laid d>seon, at ths large expense that such an Improvement suggests and that must De done at no far dis
 date
 The electric lighting system Is witho,t criticism save as to the rates
 rgcd. and the investigation of a cry few days will reveal whether
 priee Is justified. The street car service Is adequate, and the prices i've not been raised, even though
 patronage has been materially de
 eased through the automobile ravel
 So when the whole is discussed iairly, it ought not to take long to set at the bottom of things, and it ought not to take some great expert rom some far away city, at a big ex- sAse to the people, to ascertain the To pour out several thousand dollars into the hands of some myth cal expert to get at simple facts that are easily ascertained, would be a folly.
 We believe that s. A. Buchanan, if given the support of couple of as istants would have tho time, and we ieel confident the ability, to make shis re- earch for the city, when it is properly authorized and make it in a little while Hc was Mayor Me eiea1xns secretary for some years, and he knows much about the munici pal situation.
