Every one takes reasonable precau-

they regard as most dear to them. II

Is property, we guarantee to ourselves
its value by a policy of Insurance. AS
we survey the whole field Of our life
we discover that we guard our treasures
b. means and methods that are uni
versally recognized. There is one
treasure that tranScends all others, a
treasure that all too frequently we fail
to properly safeguard and protect: that
treasure consists of the children of our
household. It Is only when some grave
malady attacks one of them that we
use every means within our power to
bring that which shall heal and restore
the life that Is so precious to us.
Every now and again some parent
comes to us with story that is tragic
in the extreme and made the more
tragic because q situation has arisen
that might have been readily prevented
had the proper and reasonable pre-
cautions been taken. Today we are
realizing as we have not for years
that, what we call our assets, our re-
sources, have been seriously impaired.
Doubtless every one has made every
effort to save assets from becoming liza
bilities. We had so magnified our ma
teriaI things that we came 70 think of
them as the chiefest Of our treasures.
They overshadowed everything else. 1t
may be that the present critical sta
ton has come to us in order to once
again focus our minds upon that which
really constitutes our chief and most
precious treasure. It may be that
America, like other nations OF the
world, is being compelled to reappraise
her treasures and that presently we
shall emerge from threatening situa-
ton, that involves material things, with
q new vision of the value of those
things that constitute our finest assets.

GUARDING YHE TREASURE
BY THE RIGHT BZI. JAMES E. FREEMAN, D. D, IL. D.
Bishop Of Washington.

to reckon with those more vital inter-
ests that lie closest to our hearths and
to our hearthstones.
Recently a message broadcast from
the Cathedral pulpit, bearing upon
home life and home interests, brought
to our desk remarkable letter from
leader in the commercial world, who
had received the message while lying
sick in a hospital. The message car
ried him back in thought to the days
of his early life ana brought to mem
ory letter that his Quaker father
had written him while a student in a
university. This highly conscientious
father, prominent in public life, with
a proper sense Of his responsibility,
said to his son, among other things:
MY son, in all things let the eternal
rule of right be thy guide. Do nothing
that thy conscience does not approve.
In all thy dealings with thy fellow
men act honorably. Let thy language
Keep thy mind clean and sweet. Gull
tivate ennobling thoughts and emulate
the example Of the good. In all things
so live that when thee lies down at
night no singing conscience will dis
turb thy Sleep" These are but frag-
ments from a notable letter, but they
illustrate a kind of parental affection
and interest all too rare In our uay
and generation. This father had q
realizing sense of what constituted one
of the chief values In his possession
and he sought to safeguard the treas
ire. not only by precept, but by ex-
ample. More important than the lofty
ONCE he held and the honors that
accompanied it, more important than
all his accumulations, was the physical,
moral and spiritual well-being Of his
son. To guard this treasure meant
more to him than all else.
If in the present world situation We
can be compelled more and mere to
give consideration to the deep con-
Germs of our own household, If we can
be made to realize that our primary
obligation lies within its sacred pre-
cincts, we shall rise from our present
confusion and embarrassment o better,
skahler and Ekrnnner people.

Low Electric Rates.

Another reduction In electric rates
for the year beginning in January is
now In prospect and the indications
are that the new rate will be one Of
the lowest, If not the lowest, in the
United States. Since the consent de-
cree by which the electric light COM
pany divided" with the public its
profits in excess Of seven and one-half
per cent on an agreed valuation, the
earnings of the company have mounted
steadily and the public has been bene-
fitted to the extent of annual reduction
In rates. The price Of electricity in
Washington Is low. Nobody will debate
that fact. Criticism Of the present pol
icy is based on the assumption that
the rates are not low enough.
Admitting that the public and the
company have both benefited by the
policy carried out under the consent
decree and that both public and
company probably will continue to
benefit, the Public Utilities Commits
sion would only be doing It's duty in
undertaking a thorough investigation
Of the contentious of those who criti-
CHE the policy. Such contentious are
based on the fact that while the COM
pany in effect divides" its profits with
the public, it in reality keeps every
penny Of the excess profits. The con-
cession 1t makes to the public as re-
suit Of earnings far in excess Of the
seven and half per cent during the
year 1880 is to reduce the rates during
1881. But all of the profits for 1880
are retained, and If history repeats
ITSELF the company in 1881 will again
be able to exceed the seven and q half
per cent, even with the lower rates.
Again, there are those who find fault
with the valuation now in effect and
who claim that it is excessive If there
is any ground for this criticism, the
Public Utilities Commission should not
leave the matter in doubt There is
also the question Of the low rates for
power sold by the electric light COM
pany to its brother, the street car COM

again to other street car lines and takes
a profit. If the electric light company
sells the power at below cost, the cleo
trio light users naturally pay the diff
ference. If 1t sold the power at cost,
or at figure that would mean a profit,
the street car riders would naturally be
taxed to pay for it.
The whole point is that the Public
Utilities Commission and the public
must not form opinions as to the fair
ness Of the rates now charged for cleo
tricity entirely on the basis of the fact
that the rates are extremely low. They
might still be too high.
The present Public Utilities Commits
sion inherited the consent decree ar
rangement. But it would be perform
ing a public service by re-examining
it in all its aspects and, after making
allowances for the undoubted value re-
sulting from an arrangement that re-
wards the company for ef1icient man
agement and methods, state whether
the public, at the same time, is, in the
commissions opinion, reaplng its due
share Of the profits.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PYILANDER JOHNSON.
SalutatiOnS.

Solicitations.
Other folks are on the way
To replace the friends
Who depart from day to day.
So each story ends
With q smile for faces new,
Also with q sigh,
While we're saying "Howdy dol"
And bidding friends Good by"
Blossoms fade and sunshine dies
Other blooms grow fair;
Other days illume the skies
With a radiance rare.
So we plod the season through,
Laughter and q sigh
Mingling in the "Howdy dol"
Linked with a "Good-by."
