I Cannot See"

"Besides putting us to additional nnnecessary expense, be stated, "the city Is Just Inconveniencing its citizens, and for what reason I cannot see." said Shorensteln.

We take it that the Light. Heat and Power Company Is playing a pretty shrewd game not as clever as It might but then doing a rather good stunt even for a public service corporation. The situation to date is that the Light, Heat and Power Company has been ordered not to place artificial gas in Its natural gas mainsT The Light, Heat and Power Company has replied: "Alright very well thank you we won't put artificial gaa In the natural gas mains." The Light. Heat and Power Company has replied: "We don't care anything about the gas mains for we are willing to Invest our money in them to the extent of a few hundred thousand dollars and have no returns. The Light, Heat and Power Company has said: "The citizens are doing us a great injustice and themselves an inconvenience."

Well if you were the Light. Heat you say?

The game Is simply td evade another franchise by the simple process of trying to frighten the people into accepting any terms. As far as the city is concerned It is perfectly willing for the Light, Heat and Power Company to use the mains its parent company has bought if ' . If the company will be willing to take a modern franchise and lower the rates of gas to a place where it will mean something to the average man the ordinary consumer. The simple fact ot the matter. Is that the city is in a tactical position to make the L. 11. P. company come across or go to expense which it cannot afford to Incur which it never can incur and never will. The situation means no unfairness on the part of the city, but merely the necessary steps which too infrequently occur in public service corporations for the citizens whose ancestors deeded away their rights for nothing to come Into their own Inheritance. The fact is that there has never been enough realization on the part of the common every day man that he can have his day. But here it is. The only thing that the Light, Heat and Power Company can do by its own admission is either to put down new pipes and incure all that expense In addition to what it has already paid for the natural gas mains or else to persuade the citizens that they are being too greatly inconvenienced for temporary gain to stand by their chance. On that proposition we will bet that the people of this city are willing to go several winters without gas and fight this proposition to a standstill rather than give In on a thing which will affect this town for a long, long, time. On that proposition we are willing to take a stand right now and as long as this situation remains the same to the end that the city shall stay by this proposition until it gets its franchise embodying all the modern tendencies that the Palladium has stood for in the past and stands for. now. On that proposition we have faith in the judgment of the people. It is the people's turn and . all they have to do is to call this bluff.

This happens to be the thing that Mr. Shorensteln of the Light, Heat and Power Company "cannot see." He can't believe that the people of this town know enough about this corporation game to play it to a standstill If we have to wait a whole series of years to do it. Mr. Shorensteln Is but lately come to this town and as such is entitled to a welcome and indulgence but this public service proposition began a long time before he came here and if we do not misjudge, will continue for a time after he leaves us. This being so whether Fred Shorensteln-Bees it or not this town Is not going to be bluffed and he may as well save himself and his co'mpany the dividends on the amount Invested in the natural gas mains by writing to his company that there is only one way on which this question can be settled rightly and fairly.

We believe that the people of this town can deal fairly with the com pany on this basis of a new franchise along the new lines of thought which are striking in on every side commonly called conservation. The people want to be guarded against what are purely and cimply monopoly taxes and that means simply and purely gas rates over which they have . no control. There are several ways In which the problem can be settled but the corporation game is too old for it to have any terrors in its bluff. The . people of this town can afford to run to the whole limit of the five years rather than give in to the franchise for twenty years or so which the company tried to snare by false pretense through local capitalists last January. And that Is the thing that Mr. Shorensteln cannot see. Corporations and love have the same motto.

After all "At the time the matter first came up our attorney stated we could use the mains and I believe we can." After all why not go ahead? "The people are demanding service." Also the people are demanding certain other things.

As for inconveniencing the citizens for twenty-five years than for one the both instances.

As for the dealers in coal stoves, they might as well go around to the association and tell them that It is just as well for them not to neglect reading the passage about the conspiracy in restraint of trade.

The price of artificial gas will not be raised September 1. All statements to the contrary are absolutely false. It Is an axiom of any monopoly that it cannot charge more than people are willing to pay for it. Thanks very kindly though.

We are not saddened by the fact that a corporation which is unwilling to enter Into a new franchise which cost nothing to begin with, shall be put to additional expense. ,

However there is a simple way And the address should he mislay up In Poor's Manual. Well. Was It Harry or James?

The Illustration had a chance to be demonstrated in the case of the traction company, and the tracks are in the Glen.

Contrast

Speaking of Ohio, Charles Dick, the game warrior of the flowing hair and gumshoe tread, visited President Taft at Beverly to convey to him the cheerful information that there was to be "an old-fashioned Republican fight" in Ohio this fall, and "an old-fashioned Republican victory." Just what the Senator meant by "an old-fashioned Republican fight. may be Inferred from a newspaper dispatch which tells of his enthusiasm over the discovery In a Beverly barber shop of two pictures printed on advertising calendars. One showed Lincoln addressing the soldiers the other the raising ot the Stars and Stripes at New Orleans. Copies of these stirring engravings the Ohio leader Insisted he must have to circulate In the campaign. Thua would he put to flight the treasonable hosts of tha Democrats, free the slaves, save, the Union." and have himself returned to the United States Senate. Contrast this attitude with that of a Western Insurgent who writes concerning a recent canvass in his State: , Tor the trat time la my experience I had tha yojaas me (twenty-

one to thirty) In my meetings, and I studied them carefully from the stage. They are quite distinct as a generation, and I am positive that the ordinary political speaker doesn't understand them at alL They are hungry tor details, for specifications, for technical analysis. They suspect a generality. They want to know minutely about the committee on rules for Instance. They sit tight and swallow everything in the m ay of a close description of a tariff Item. They insist on Inside' information, not on what happened, but What made It happen, e e e The people have awakened to the fact that the obstructionist In the country has been fooling them into the belief for years that obstruction of legislation, failure to enforce the law, 'apparent helplessness before Industrial wrongs, was normal." Beside this modern Insurgent, talking the language of today. Senator Dick seems to be speaking a tongue long since dead. Possibly the issue of no extension of slavery into the territories will win in Ohio and elsewhere in November. Possibly. Editorial in Collier's for Sept S.

Hems Gathered In From Far and Near The Smugglers. From the New York Times. It is not, perhaps, the fact that the wealthy family now suffering from the humiliation of public detection in an attempt to smuggle owe their wealth largely to the profits of a highly protected industry that first suggests comment in relation to the case. Much might be said of the habitual inclination of protectionists to momentarily accept free trade ideas when they become importers on their own account. But whatever modifications are tariff laws may undergo under the Influence of enlightenment, it is not likely that Jewelry will ever be admitted free. A tariff for revenue will still be enforced and the duty on furs, laces, diamonds and pearl necklaces will always be high. The remark of the head of the afflicted family on the pier that "an American citizen ought to be allowed to bring in anything," may be taken as the emotional expression of a moment of irresponsibility. He probably does not think that American citizens should be permitted to bring in farm Implements. We have spoken of this family as afflicted. Their present plight certainly compels sympathy. If a large proportion of their fellow-beings in the same agreeable walk ot life are not sorry for them they ought to be. The habit of petty smuggling has been quite common among wealthy Americans who often go abroad. Population of Philadelphia. From the Philadelphia Ledger. There appears to bo some uneasiness in certain quarters as to. what the forthcoming' census figures will show for Philadelphia, though for what reason it is difficult to imagine. Philadelphia has other and higher ambitions than the expansion of its population by the arbitrary annexation of the surrounding country, the expedient upon which Chicago chiefly relies to place itself in the position of "sec ond city" of the country, or by the encouragement of those methods of housing by which density of popula tion is secured at the cost of comfort and health. .It has no desire to secrifice its position as a city of homes. Its citizens will await the official com putation with unruffled complacency, knowing well that the growth of the city is not to be measured by the statistics collected within the legal limits of the municipality. Campfire to Conflagration. From the New York Tribune. A 'cartoon in a recent issue of the Spokane Spokesman-Review, with the caption "Haunted," showing a terrorstricken m?.n with a score of accusing hands pointing at. him, and bearing the label "The Careless Camper," implies not merely a possible but a very probable origin of a conflagration which has destroyed millions of dol lars' worth of property and a large number of human lives. No better recipe for a great fire in any extensive wooded section could be asked than a dry season and the embers of a dying fire. A gust of wind or per haps a trail of leaves from the glow ing coals to other imflammable material Is all that would be necessary to start In an hour what a thousand trained men could not stop In a week. The Emperor at It Again. From the Chicago Post. . Kaiser. .Wilhelm's long silence has not apparently, been productive of any new ideas. His speech at Koenigsberg was as true to the Hohenzollern instinct as the proverbial needle to the pole. In fact, the emperor seems to have relapsed a little. Ot late years he had learned to say we, us and ours In a generous, Inclusive sort of way, but the la,te cabled reports of. the. Koenigsberg address would Indicate that he has returned to the conception of I, me and mine. This, of course, is the true Hohenzollern attitude. . i" ? TWINKLES BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

"It is said," remarked the man who was inspecting the labels in a wine shop, "that reading makes a full man." "That depends," replied the proprietor, "on whether he tries ti digest the entire contents of what he reads." Among Suburban Ites."Last summer I slept under a bdanket every night."

Z on The

Some Striking Paragraphs From

RooseveVis Osawatamie Speech The true friend of property, the true conservative, is he who insists that property shall be the servant and not the master of the commonwealth. I stand for the square deal. But when I say that I am for the; square deal I mean not merely that I stand for fair play under the. present rules of the game, but that I stand for having those rules changed so as to work for a more substantial equality of opportune ity, and of reward for equally good service. , " The Constitution guarantees protection to property aad we must make that promise good. But it does not give the right to suffrage to any corporation. It is my personal beUef that the same kind and degree of control and supervision which should be exercised over public service corporations should be extended also to, combinations which control -necessaries of life, such as meat, oil, and coal, or which deal in them on an important scale. I believe that the officers, and especially the directors of cor' porations. should be held personally responsible when any corporation breaks the law. No man should receive a dollar unless It has been fairly earned. Every dollar received should represent a dollar's worth of service rendered. The really big fortune, the swollen fortune, by the mere fact of its size acquires qualities which differentiate it in kind as well as in degree from what is possessed by men of relatively small , means. - . . t One of the fundamental necessities in a representative government such as ours is to make certain that the men to whom the people delegate their power shall serve the people by whom they are elected, and not the special interests. I believe that every National officer, elected or appointed should be forbidden to perform any service or receive any compensation directly or indirectly from interstate corporations; and a similar provision could not fail to be useful within the states.
