The easier method and one which
McNutt is assured would succeed
because of the topheavy majority in
the legislature, would be by bill
amending the public service COM
mission law so it would provide that
the Governor may remove on cause
or AT WILL"
4 II
The amendatory measure could be
made an emergency bill, which be-
came effective as soon as signed by
the Governor, and McNutt then i'm
mediately could dismiss the mem
berS,
In support of such action, it must
be remembered that the Governor
appoints the members of the com
mission, and that he must and
should share responsibility for their
decisions in rate cases.
If their rulings are i-consumer
then the Governor and the party
which made the appointment should
be made to shoulder all the blame
The only way to fix such respon-
sibility is by having each new Gov
ernor appoint the personnel of the
commission.

a DAY
~ BRUCE CATION

John BROWN was perhaps the
y strangest character America has
produced. He was combination of
murderer, saint and lunatic.
He died on scaffold, and in two
years soldiers marched to war
singing about him. He needs to
be dealt with not so much by his
torians as by poets.
Gods Angry Man." by Leonard
Enrich, is a novel built around
John Browns life, and it is an
amazingly good one.
It picks him up in Kansas, where
Brown got the mad idea Of killing
pro-slavery men as a part of his
program to free the slaves.
1t tells of the wild turmoil OF
those bloody border fights and shows
how the old man developed his plan
to invade the southland and set up
state Of freed slaves who would
be given their just dues by weird
combination of bloody murder and
primitive Christianity.
Then it follows the fateful doings
which led up to the utterly hope
less raid on Harper's Ferry.
Mr.. Enrich turns John Brown
into a real human being; he makes
him understandable, makes you
sympathize even while you are
shaking your head at his folly.
You feel the terror, the pity and
the suffering the mans career in
volved; they become real to you;
you live, for the moment in those
dreadful days.
Goods Angry Man" is by all odds
the best new novel I have read in
two years. 1t is published by Simon
& Schuster, and is priced at $3.50.

She had arranged for trays for

At the bottom Of the winding

Responsibility

EFRENCH LICK SPRINGS HO-
Il TEL, Nov. 14.-How to get rid
Of man whose term doesn't expire
for a couple Of years is one of the
major problems confronting Gov
ernor- Elect Paul v. McNutt, here
comforting with party leaders on
questions of patronage and means
Of carrying out Democratic pledges.
One of the most important ques-
lions is that involving personnel of
the public service commission.
In his campaign addresses, NcNutt
pledged that if elected one of his
first moves would be to boot out the
commissioners.
Under the statutes, however, a
commissioner serves his four-year
term and may be removed only for
cause"
OF course, in the opinion of the
majority of utility consumers of
Indiana, there has been sufficient
cause, but ousting by such meth
DDS is long and tedious process and
eventually would be carried to the
courts.
Terms of two members expire May
1. They are those of the chairman,
John w. McCardle, Republican, and
Jere West, Democrat.
n
Two others have commissions
which will expire May l, 1885.
Harry X. Cuthbertson, Democrat,
and Howell Ellis, Republican. The
fifth member is Ralph Young, Re-
publican and intimate of Governor
Harry G. Leslie. Young's term
terminates July l, 1896.
Tt is not SO difficult to wait until
May ! and replace McCardle and
West, but the longer waits are those
which worry McNutt's advisors, they
tell me.
Inasmuch as both the auditor and
the treasurer of state are Democrats
and close to the Governor elect, it
would be simple matter to refuse
to honor or issue vouchers to the
commissioners. But such procedure
would mean lengthy litigation and
meanwhile, they would continue in
office.

Across from Marvin was the
Irishman. A contrast II ever she

no hint Of discipline Or will.
Weak he must be with that chin
and those lovely, poinded fingers.
Delightful, alive, entertaining, he
undoubtedly was, judging from the
chorus Of encouragement with which
his simplest sallies were greeted.
Even Tom was forgetting his re-
sponsibilities in charmed delight
over the great overgrown boy Of a
man. Linda wondered what he'd
been talking about to bring to all

enchantment, surprise.

not repeat her earliest mistake. He
was fairlyRlaunched on a travelog.
Linda suspected that the man had
no small talk; with him it was the
center Of attention or nothing.
She followed him to India and
there the Irishman suddenly cut in
with an apostrophe to Gandhi and
what seemed the start of a hymn
Of praise to all rebels, leaders. and
prophets Of the rights of submerged
peoples.
Now the fat is in the firer"
breathed Linda. A look of despair
flashed between her and her hus-
band, as Cousin Amos, ominously
clearing his throat, plunged with
scandalized conservatism into the
very heart Of glowing period.
"Right-thinking people" Linda
recognized the pompous phrase and
as from distance heard Cousin
Amos call upon all the gods of sta
bility and established order.

All Of Cousin Amos limited ex-

his own rightness and that of the
opinions to which he had been born
Now ShaughneSsey had sinned
doubly in his choice of enthusiasts
and in assuming that others shared
them.

pressed the contempt of the Brah-

Spring fever must have got
ten into them, for they were
talking about Wistaria, dogwood,
fresh new lawns, sunshine. and
lots of things which make a fell
low want to go somewhere.
Somebody suggested that at
about the time wistaria or dog
wood was in full bloom, all the
Chapel Hillians ought to knock
off work for a couple of days and
invite everybody all over the
world to come and invest in a
few shares Of Chapel Hill spring
time.
There was talk about flower
festivals in Asheville, open gar
dens in old Charleston, fiddlers'
conventions at Whitetop Noun
tain in Virginia when the laurel
is in full bloom, the apple bios

ry blossom time in Washington,

brought together from all parts

minister choir festival on the
verdant hillsides of Cayuga lake
at Ithaca, N. Y, where it takes
a two-day songfest to accommo-
date the huge crowds which
come from all parts Of the

Several went away from that

that combined festival of

off with good, rip-snorting ball
