IF TEXAS TALKS WITH MARS.

It we are to credit a telegram from

two Fort Worth newspaper to Professor Pickering of Harvard, Texas is wil

line to stand behind the professor in

ilia proposed effort to signal Mars. The telegram does not say whom the SIO,000,000 that Professor Pickering has

called for is to come from. But that

9s a minor detail. Texas says the

money is there. We can readily understand the de

aire of Texas to get the opinion of dis

interested onlookers, like the inhabit

ants of Mars, on many matters of

state interest. They naturally feel

that envy of the wonderful resources, else and history of Texas makes the

citizens of our own planet at best but

olased Judges. The inhabitants of

Mars, unmoved by small considera

tions, could be relied on to give free

rein to their natural admiration.

Probably the first question that the

Texans would wish Professor Picker

ing, with his 110,000,000 heliograph, to

signal to Mars would relate to a cer

tain hotly disputed point in the use of

firearms. As the state is divided be

tween those who hold that firing

from ths pocket Is f unsportsmanlike

and those who say it isn't, and also

between the advocates of shootta

from the nip and those who believe in

drawing a more deliberate bead, the opinion of the Martians on these matters Would ' be peculiarly ' Interesting sad might possibly lead to harmony

and unanimity.

It goes without saying that these or similar inquiries would be likely to follow In Quick succession: "Do you remember the Alamo?" "Which is

generally regarded as the most import ant event is Mars, the battle of Get

tysburg or the battle of San Jacinto?"

"Has a greaser any rights that a white man is bound to respect, according to your point of view?" "Is the percentage

against the player greater In Mexican

monte or faro bank?" "Did you ever

hear of Ben Thompson, the Austin bad

man, once owner of the Iron Front saloon and gambling house?" "What is

thoueht of the way he was assassinat

ed in that San Antonio variety thea

ter?" "Do you not think Braan was a

greater writer than Shakespeare?" t

Unless precautions, should be takeu

to prevent the Introduction or the sub

J set, the Martians also would surely be asked whst they thought of Senator Ballsy and the Waters-Pierce Oil com

pany. But If the Martians are half as wise as Professors Pickering and Lowell

say, they will decline to commit them

selves on Bailey. They will realize that a message from Mars could have no other effect than to aplit the two political factions wider apart than ev

er and make one or them the relent

less enemy of Mars and Martians and

the opponent of all further communications. Professor Pickering should accept the offer of the Texans while they are in the mood for experiments. He cannot be too quick about it either. Some legislator is likely to introduce a bill further regulating the length of bed sheets or providing for the complete extermination of the Standard Oil company, and thus turn the popular Impulse of Texas in an entirely different direction.

Gordon and the Light Plant J. Bennett Gordon states in his -platform that he is In favor of the retention of the Municipal light pla nt as he always has been. We do not doubt that at this present moment, when he is running for the nomination for mayor, that he indeed is for the light plant because it is a .popular measure. But there has always been a lingeriug doubt in people's minds as to this and the plank In his platform and his recent remarks on the subject have, of course, been to the effect that he was simply fighting the management of the plant and has never fought municipal ownership. ; But we venture the assertion that there are a great many ways in which the light plant itself can be fought and as a rule the more Ingenious they are, the more effective the fight. There is a way of fighting openly and there is a way of fighting under cover and we shall explain what we mean.

Inasmuch as J. Bennett Gordon has challenged any ' one to produce any sort of evidence showing that he has ever been In favor of selling the light plant, it Is Of course a great task. We admit in the beginning what every one knows, that Gordon is a clever man with more modes of attack than one. .,.., THE FIRST PROPOSITION IS THIS: THE EASIEST WAY TO GET THE CITIZENS TO SELL THE PLANT IS TO MAKE THEM DISSATISFIED WITH IT, AT A TIME WHEN SOMEBODY IS WILLING AND ANXIOUS TO BUY THE PLANT. - THE SECOND PROPOSITION IS THIS: THE EASIEST WAY TO MAKE THE CITIZENS DISSATISFIED WITH IT IS TO TELL THEM THAT THE WHOLE PRINCIPLE OF MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP IS WRONG AND THAT THE PLANT NEVER HAS, NOR NEVER WILL PAY. ?; a-y-.;;---;-:.'. THE THIRD PROPOSITION IS: THE EASIEST WAJ -TO GET THE CITY TO SELL IS ALSO THE EASIEST WAY TO GET IT TO SELL CHEAP. . ..' - ' - '

Bear in mind, in what shall follow, that we make no defense of anything which mayor may not have been done in the past by the management of the Municipal Light Plant that is not the issue which we are discussing it is whether or not J. Bennett Gordon has always stood where he does now. and whether or not his efforts have always been for the retention of the Municipal Light Plant. Just about a year ago a certain Mr. Witherby came to this city for the purpose, if possible, of buying the Municipal Light Plant. Mr. Witherby is a representative of the United Gas and Electric Company the same corporation which owns the Light, Heat and Power company of this city. The reason for his wanting to buy the plant need not here be discussed, but it can be stated safely, that it was not for any charitable regard, which the company has for the town, but was a move on the part of his company which it thought would turn out well for them in the end. It is safe, also to say, that the corporation knew that it was not buying a goldblick if it invested in the plant. Naturally the way to make the citizens of the town willing to sell and sell reasonably is to make the citizens dissatisfied with the plant. It the people can be led to believe that the light plant is a "white elephant" the city will be anxious to get rid of it. And more, to get rid of it at a low figure. The thing must be born6 in mind that the Light, Heat and Power Company has always declared the city plant a "white elephant" and Witherby has been here several times before the Commercial club of this city to persuade it that the plant is all wrong and that the city ought to sell it

It is a singular coincidence that at the time Mr. Witherby was here J. Bennett Gordon under cover of demanding the investigation of the books, and ' under cover of assailing the management attacked the WHOLE THING he did not stop with ths management but attacked municipal ownership. He charged it with being all wrong in principle charged it with being a thing which had not been paying and never would pay, and even went so far as to attack the administration for not paying attention to the proposition of Mr. Witherby. But all this was under cover of an attack net on the plant but en the management. And afterward he declared that he had not fought the plant. Let us ask the citizens frankly now, If to their knowledge, the plant or the situation has changed any since then? Haa there been any upheaval in the plant? It is the same light plant and the same management and there has been no change. But J. Bennett Gordon evidently tried to dissatisfy the people at that time,. .

H0H, NO, GENTLEMEN, THE REASON YOU DO NOT WANT TO GIVE UP YOUR BOOKS IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE DECEIVED THE PEOPLE, THEY WILL PROVE THE LAST REPORT OF THE CITY CONTROLLER TO BE A TISSUE OF FALSEHOODS AND THEY WILL PROVE THAT THE CITY PLANT HAS NEVER MADE MONEY, IS NOT MAKING MONEY, AND WILL NEVER MAKE MONEY." EOITORIAL BY J. BENNETT GORDON, MAY C 1908.

So the electric light plant' did not pay, had never paid and never will pay I And nevertheless the corporation which owns the Light, Heat and Power Company was willing to buy it. - ' Perhaps If the people and the city officials eould have been persuaded that the plant waa worthless ths plant could have been sold at a very reasonable figure to ths United Gas and Elect He Company of New York.

IS THAT THE WAY THAT J. BENNETT GORDON, THE FRIEND OF THE CITY LIGHT PLANT. HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN FAVOR OF THE LIGHT PLANT? .'-. IS THAT THE REASON HE HAS ALWAYS ATTACKED it UNDER COVER OF ATTACKING THE MANAGEMENT? IS THAT THE WAY HE IS IN FAVOR OF THE RETENTION OF THE PLANT?

And to continue: Bennett Gordon2 attacked in the same editorial the administration of this city for not paying anv attention to the plans of Mr. Witherby. Mr. Witherbys plans were to have the books of the light plant gone over snd shown up In such poor light ss to cause ths people of the city to wish to sell the light plant vBotr J. Bsaastt Gordon did not stop wtth attacking: ths management.

To The Voters of Richmond Tester say afternoon s committee of women, represestiag various wo

rt doss, held a meeting at the library sad decided to make aa appeal

to the wives sad mothers of Richmond to use their influence la defeaUaT Dr. W. W, Zimmerman in his candidacy for the republican mayoralty nomination ; and to use their influence in securing the nomination of s suitable candidate. The following communication was drafted snd given to the press for publication today: Four years ago this fall the women of Richmond. Incensed past endurance by ths appalling conditions existing in their city, sent the following: message to every house In It: "The Women's League of Richmond, a non-partisan body, organized in the interest of civic purity, earnestly desires to call to your attention certain statements in the report of the Grand Jury of last August. "This grand jury, after finding that Dr. Zimmerman, while mayor of the city, bad issued in his professional capacity, certificates of good health to the inmates of s disreputable house in the city, makes the follow ins comment: ' "The jury cannot understand, however, the action of Dr. Zimmerman In this matter, for until the recent municipal code was enacted, aa mayor of the city. Dr. Zimmerman likewise had judicial powers and presided at police court, and his position as such mayor and police judge, certainly required htm to use every effort to stamp out misdemeanor and to cause the arrest of any person commuting any misdemeanor within his observation, which every inmate examined by him was doing, aa he well knew. ' The dual position in which he has stood has extended over a period of several years, and certainly no defense can be given on the ground that it was purely a professional matter." "The women of this city, feeling that the candidacy of a man who could do this thing was a disgrace to the city and an insult to every decent woman in It, held on Tuesday last a mass meeting of protest, which was attended by 1,300 women of all parties and creeds. "At this meeting the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: "Resolved. That the issue in the present municipal, campaign, is not whether there shall be elected aa mayor of this city a republican or a democrat. but whether vice in its dangerous forms shall be protected or suppressed. "Resolved,, that our present mayor has by his dealings with and recognition of a most revoltins traffic, which he was by law bound to suppress .shown himself faithless to his trust, and unworthy of re-election. "Resolved, That we resent this attack on the purity of our homes and the morality of our sons and daughters, and individually pledge our selves to do all in our power to prevent the election of the man capable of making it. . Their appeal was heeded Zimmerman was defeated. The same problem, hut mors sertous than before, confronts us now. The Metropolitan police law baa been repealed and the mayor is once more the city judge. It lies in sis bands to determine whether violators of the law shall be punished or go free; whether vice shall regain Its hold on this community. And Dr. Zimmerman is again a candidate for mayor. He has not changed he has not even pretended to reform, he stands for a wide opea town.:"? : ii We can not advise yes which of the other- candidates will make ths best mayor that is a matter for you to decide. But we can earnestly entreat you not to deliver the dty over to Zimmerman, and in the face of this Impending danger, to sink all differeaees "and unite on the man best able to defeat him, even though he may not be your personal choice. Will you not save us from the disgrace snd danger of having for mayor a man who could do what this man has done? , MRS. JAMES W. MORRISON, President. MRS. W. K. BRADBURY, Secretary. By order of the Executive Board of the Women's League.

He even attacked municipal, ownership and intimated that the city had l" no right to be' in the business. ' HE SAID, IN THE ITEM, MAY 18, 190S: "IF IT IS THE PROVINCE OF THE CITY TO ENTER INTO THE LIGHTING BUSINESS IN ORDER TO : FURNISH LIGHT, WHICH TODAY IS A COMMERCIAL : NECESSITY, AT COST OR LESS THAN COST. THEN WHY IS IT NOT THE PROVINCE OF THE CITY TO ENTER INTO THE BUSINESS OF FURNISHING WATER, FUEL, FOOD, AND CLOTHING AT LESS THAN THEY ARE NOW BEING FURNISHED BY PRIVATE CONCERNS?" "The fact is that the whole practice of municipal ownership is wrong. You can not admit its correctness in any one commodity unless you adopt the entire theory of Socialism." Evening Item, May 18, 1908. Do you need better evidence?

So Mr. Gordon said that municipal ownership was all wrong. Mr. Witherby was In town to buy ths plant.

So this is the way J. Bennett Gordon tried to convince the people of Richmond that the light plant was s good thing to keep? I We ask again of the citizens of Richmond has the electric light plant changed? - Or has J. Benrett Gordon changed? Nor is this all.

Look at it any way you like. 4 . If municipal ownership is all wrong and next door to socialism it the city has no more right to be In the municipal light business than it has to furnish fuel, food and clothing how does it come that the same J. Bennett Gordon is now so enthusiastic over the light plant as he always has been? No doubt, he still says that he is attacking the management. But the average citlsen will think that there is no difference in the light plant. And thera is no difference. There is no difference in the corporation which owns the Light. Heat and Power Company. That is the sime. But there is a decided difference in J. Bennett Gordon. He is endeavoring to get the nomination for the mayor's office.

That explains a few things and it also raises a few Questions. IT RAISES THE QUESTION THAT IF THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT PLANT DID NOT PAY IN 1908, AND HAD NEVER PAID UP TO THAT TIME, AND, IF "IT NEVER WILL PAY." WHY IS J. BENNETT GORDON SO VERY ANXIOUS AT THIS TIME TO RETAIN THE LIGHT PLANT AS "HE ALWAYS HAS BEEN?" WOULDN'T-YOU RATHER THINK THAT HE EITHER DID NOT TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH THEN, OR THAT HE IS NOT TELLING THE WHOLE TRUTH NOW? WOULDN'T YOU RATHER THINK THAT THAT IS A PRETTY BIG CHANGE. YES, THE LIGHT PLANT IS THE SAME! J. BENNETT GORDON IS THE SAME EXCEPT HE IS RUNNING FOR MAYOR.

This being the case, is it not a thing to think over, snd to think over very seriously, if it should come to pass as it undoubtedly will, that the corporation which owns the Light, Heat and Power Company should again be perfectly willing to buy at a price the light plant which has never paid, which did not pay in May, 1908 and which will never pay in ths future?

: What would nappen if Bennett Garden were mayor?; -What would happen if Mr. Witherby would innocently corns to town snd suggest that ths United Gaa and Electric Company of New York had such a deep feeling of concern for the dtbtens thst it found that the city light plant was a "whits elephantr Would not Mr. Withersy be good enough to buy such a worthless lot of junk whisn ths peepls would be so dissatisfied with? WOULD THE ITEM COME OUT THE NEXT DAY AND 8AY THAT "THE LIGHT PLANT IS A WHITE ELEPHANT? - ,
