More Trust Tactics
More evidence 'of the cut throat methods of the Light, Heat & Power company have come to light through the refusal of this company to submit in writing its offer to furnish lighting to the county jail and court Louse at very reduced rates. This shows that the Light, Heat &. Power company is just like any other trust in that it fears publicity. And just like all other trusts at this time it is going to get its fill of publicity, for publicity is the only way in which its dark methods can be combatted and the municipal lighting plant saved from the net spread about it. The citizens of Richmond owe a vote of thanks to the county commissioners for their refusal to be party to the inside offers made by the local branch of the elective trust. We would suggest that the merchants and citizens follow this line when they are approached by any representative of the lighting trust with an offer of low rates: Require the offer to be submitted in written form and then if it is accepted require a contract to be given which will jruarantee you those low rates for the next five or ten years. Do this and watch the lighting trust squirm out of any such condition. Its representative will tell you that he will give you a contract covering the next two years but you have only to remember that those two years are the space of time during which the Light, Heat & Power company is to be supported by the other branches of the trust to the extent of $100,000. The Light, Heat, & Power company for the next two years will have as its slogan, "Low rates and may the devil take the municipal lighting plant." And at the end of those two years if the municipal plant has been put out of business, "Now then, for the good old high, extortionate rates, and to the dickens with the people."
The term "class spirit" ha3 become much abused. Today it is generally understood to stand for class scrapping, hazing, the defacing of college property, etc., and, interpreted in this way, justly deserves the condemnation it receives. Such actions usually result from the recklessness of a few, but the class as a whole and the entire college community must suffer for them. With a little tact, could not this over-enthusiasm of the few be united with the energies of the whole class and directed toward a more profitable end? There are many ways in which the class may exert its spirit which will tend to strengthen it and to make the class organization mean more to the individual member. For "class spirit," in its true gense, must exist in every school, since it forms one of the essential element of college life. The Earlhamite.
From Elwood there comes the notice of the shut down of the American Sheet and Tinplate company's factory, on account of a threatened strike among two hundred openers. There is- much business depression as a result of the move. Elwood once the proud city of the gas belt with her flourishing industries, is steadily and surely falling behind. Elwood's example Is certainly an argument in favor of such, solidity as is manifested In Richmond's commercial enterprises.
It is to be regretted that fire destroyed Helicon hall, the socialistic colony of Upton Sinclair. So many of such schemes fall through of their own weight of impracticability that when such an enterprise gets fairly started the public likes to see the elements hold off and give the novice a trial.

Perhaps you never thought the matter of very much importance but considered it enough to know the retailer from whom you bought.

An interesting story has been sent out from Washington concerning the arrival in that city of Eli Smith, the hero of the Alaskan trail who with his dogs and sleds passed through Richmond some time ago. The story says:
EASING UP IN SHORTAGE. An easing up has come in the car
shortage of the west. But this does not mean that there is a surplus, as all western lines are short of cars and ex

two reasons. One is that their receipts from car builders that has been under way of late has begun to be felt. Second, that there has been-a letup in the movement of a few lines of freight, especially in ice, which has given the western as well as eastern lines more cars for the grain and other trade. They are handling a larger business at this time than ever before and are preparing for an equalization of rates, according to the statement given out in the local office. Merchandise is being moved at present in large quantities. The present car shortage is one where the situation cannot be changed until there is a general failure of crops or a slump in the present high degree of prosperity. The curtailing movement under way is

"A few years ago, Addison C Harris, of Indianapolis, in an article published in a Philadelphia paper gave credit for the efficient school system of Indiana to the church schools of the Friends in Indiana. In the early settling of the state the Friends were the first to organize graded church schools academies and a college at Richmond. Many of the teachers who went out to teach in the public schools of the state were educated in these schools and they thus tad great influence in shaping the present very efficient public school system of the state."
