The installation of private lighting
plant for every home, store, office and
public building in Dolores would cost
between $75,0O0 and $4,000 and we
would still have no lights for our
streets, the place where they are most
needed A municipal plant that would
furnish lights for the entire town
would cost between $12, 900 and SIS, 900.
1t can be readily seen what big saw
ing municipal plant would be to our
citizens. A municipal plant would pay
the interest on the money invested the
first year and would in the course of
fifteen years not only pay the interest
but the principal also. Our people
want electric lights or they would not
be putting in individual plants.

Politics and Personal Habits.
(\cW York NNOrld)


 X very unSynl thetic attitude to- ward societies organized for playing politics under the guisc of regulating personal habits is taken by Judge Car penter of the Common Pleas Court at Pitts burah. 1r refusing charter to the NO-TobaccO Cooperation. tho Ob- ject of which is ito secure by law pro hibition of tho culture. sajc and u&c of tobaCCo,' the justice pOirtS out the political aim of the organization. and S;lys hat the law Grarting the judi cial sanction of a charter to an or ganization was not intended to provide for the incorporation of associations for tho prCmulgatiOn of theories as to the effect Of personal habits and immcmOl ial customs, especially if not contrary to good morals, and con corning the consequences of which llymen of equal intelligence differ radically with doctors.
 No doubt anti-tobacco societies will find other courts Of legislatures more compliant to their wishes. But it is refreshing to have the principle plain ly stated that the law should not en- courage the promotion of societies tor making a political issue of personal habits objectionable in themselves, or give a judicial status to associations organized to mcddlo with innocent customs which have the warrant of old Obsc c"NancC.
 The met hoos of the Anti-Saloon propa ganda here have their lesson. The country will not s1Tinrly allow any more similar non-legnl questions, such as concern the use and abuse of tobacco or of tea or coffee to be made the subject of political e mp0iGnlng and legislative lobbying.

 Tn spite of the fact that the great majority of the American people are strong advocates of the continuation of the daylight saving measure as the views of tho press, the A. r. of l.. and other organizations that voice public opinion most CmphatiCallY indicate, our congress has decided 70 bow 70 the selfish farmers and the law has been repealed. Both branches yield cd yesterday to some mySt in nucnco and the measure was ordered repealed.
 There is reason, perhaps for the vote Of representatives from strictly agricultural districts, but why the senate should also follow and why there should he such a heavy vote in tho house indicates that there is somo strong influence at work.
 It would have been much better and much fairer if congress had vOt- ed to leave the question to q rcferen- dunn and permit the people to express themselves upon an issue that so vital ly concerns them and means much to the workers in the factories and the men and women in the stores and of- fees.

 Why should any people harhor such apparent animosity to lieutenant governor?

\ Self Denying Ordinance.
(PrOyidcncc Journal.)

At the request of the New Jersey board of education, 300 young women graduates Of the State Normal schools at Newark and Montclair have signed a pledge not to marry within thc-neXt two years. The board believes that as they have received a valuable training from the state they should be willing to agree not to abandon their profession for at least that length of time. Only twenty students refused to aCccdc to this suggestion.
 This opens up an interesting queS- ton, with q good deal, perhaps, to be said on both sides. The position of tho board, however, is peculiarly strong. It is natural for the m cmhcrS to feel that a young woman ought to regard herself as being under some Obljga- tions to the public after she has re- cciVed at the taxpayers expense so complete a preparation for a "lifc' work.

The National Party of South Afri- ca, asking for tho restoration of the Boer republic, is informed by Premier Lloyd George that such independence is impossible, because the present sys- tenn of government of the Union of South Africa is based on a solemn and lasting agreement between the British and the Rocrs of that coun- try.

 England and Scotland would like 10 have their own pHrliamcnts for local affairs. though they have been less inSstcnt about the matter than Ireland has. The adoption of a uni form system of that sort for the three big national units comprised in the British Islcs-the Welsh being in cludcd, presumably, with the Eng lis1--would seem 10 insure Ireland fair treatment
 That island has long had rcprcscn- tation in tn" British parliament on the same hlsis as England and Ire- land, and in fact of late years has had moro members than her cont paratiNc population would properly cntitlc her to. Her real grievances at the present time seem to be found- cd not on any lack of proportional representation but on the COntin~ uance of certain economic discrim- nations enforced against her by a hostile majority in the British par liamcnt. With her own local premier and parliament. Ireland could prob ably compel a fainer adjustment, and the nGcmcnt should go far to eliminate old grudcS and satisfy ra- Cial pride.
 It would be, in effect. much like the American system. England. Scot land and Ireland. like the sclf-gov- crning colonies, would correspond to American states, each administ cring it's own local affairs, and all repre- scnted on a basis of common inter- est in the federal or imperial parlia- mcnt at London.
