City Dads Want to Sell Light Plant.

By the proceedings of the may
or and board of aldermen in this
issue of the Chronicle it will be
seen that our city dads have come
to the conclusion that municipal
operation of the light plant is a
failure, and the mayor has been
authorized to advertise the plant
for sale. No special reason is
given in the proceedings for this
action, other than that the sale
was decided on after a discussion
of the financial condition of the
town and light plant. However.
by inquiry of the town treasurer
the Chronicle learns that the in
debtedness of the town and light
plant totals approximately $4,000,
of which $1,000 is due on the
plant. Of this amount, $4,000
has been contracted since July l
of last year. Our information is
that in addition to mourning this
extra debt of So, 600 on the plant,
the revenues of the plant show a
falling off instead of a gain, and
with this condition confronting
them the board unanimously
agree that there is nothing else
to do but suspend operations OF
sell.

Big Trunk Lines Have Eye ON L. r.

& N. Ry.
Baton Rouge, La, June IA
Rumor here is that some large
railroad interests are figuring on
the possibility Of acquiring the
Louisiana Railway and Naviga-
ton Company line from Shreve-
port to New Orleans, a distance
of a little over 300 miles, and
making it the connecting link in
to New Orleans.
Names of the Kansas City
Sothern. the M. K. T. and others
have been mentioned as being
possibly interested. 1t is point
ed out that any north and south
trunk lines reaching Shreveport
could turn the Edenborn line in
to splendid account by getting
into New Orleans over it.
This report has been revived
since the statement of represen-
tatives of President William
Edenborn that he had lost $10.-
600, 900 in the road and that it
ran behind $7O0, 200 last year.
The Railroad Commission has d.
rected Mr.. Edenborn to fix up
the road bed and he is preparing
to spend 81. 600, 600 in the effort.
Meanwhile, it is said intimate
friends of Mr.. Edenborn are ad-
vising him to dispose of the road.
Report about the State House
Tuesday was that a prominent
official of the Kansas City South
ern had been here this week,
looking up data and learning all
he could about the line, its possi-
bilities and the productiveneis Of
the territory through which it
runs. 1t was said Chairman
Shelby Taylor had been consult
ed.
Il am not at liberty to give
any Names" said Chairman Tay-
Ior, when asked about the report.
1T is true that an official of a

line was in here, to get certain

EXIT Mr.. WILSON
BY WILLIAM G. BURGIN.

On March 4 the curtain falls upon
the most eventful administration IA
American history, and Woodrow VIII
son passes from the scene OF national
life and action to the quietude and
Clet US hope) peace Of private life.
No president ever left behind him
such record of achievement as is
his. No other President in our his
tory was ever called up0n 10 wres-
tie with sc many and so grave prob
lens as were his. How well he solved
those problems, and how worthily he
labored for American interests and
American ideals. history alone can
tell. Our own age cannot judge
Woodrow Wilson properly; we are
too near his colossal figure to prop
erly estimate its proportions. One
car,lot measure Mt. Shasta while
standing at its base, or estimate the
towering heights of old Whitney
while moving within its shadow. SO

our age, whose name in recent years
has been on the lips of men and wo-
mdl around the world, and who,
whatever the present reaction against
him, was one time hailed as the
emancipation of world.
Contemporaries, ! repeat, cannot
Judge Woodrow Wilson. Yet scarce
ly thinking man could be found in
America or Europe who has not
judged him, who has not formed
some estimate of his life. Whatever
men think about Wilson, they must
think something. He cannot be
treated with Indifference; he chal-
lenges attention. Men in every sta
ton Of life have opinions OF him, and
they have not hesitated to express
their opmions-some in vehement
demunciation, others in exhalted
plaise. He has been the most dis
c'nssed character of a generation; few
