Sir' William Henry White, the dis tinguished Rritlsh engineer who has been elected to the directorate of the Grand Trunk railroad, was born in Davenport, England. February 2, 1843 and received hla education at the Royal School of Naval Architecture. Entering the constructive department of the Admlrality, ho rose to the rank of chief constructor. He also became professor of naval architecture at the Royal School of Naval Architecture and the Royal Naval college. From 1SS5 to 1902 he was director of naval construction and assistant controller of the Royal Navy, and during that period was responsible designer of all ltrltlsh warships. Resigning on ac count of 111 health, he was awarded a special grant of money by vote of Parliament In recognition of his exceptional services to the navy. Two years ao Sir William attended the meeting of the RritUh association In Winnipeg and read a paper upon naval construction and the need for a scheme of Imperial defense.

The Referendum

Richmond has had some experience with public aerrice corporations and their contracts and franchises. There are at present two contracts which will be up for settlement within either a few montbs-or at the moat only a few years. Every man in Richmond who is a consumer of these things must have wished that he could vote on the franchises.

There has been a desperate fight and one which is still going on in the legislature over the Grube bill which was to start with a non-part-. Isan measure giving cities the right to vote on he franchises by referendum. ' As usual the lobby got in its work in the senate and did its work through a bi-partisan machine. The bi-partisan machine did not vote directly against the bill. They adopted the refined emasculatory method of killing it by amendment. Gavit led the cohorts in this work in the senate, lie made an amendment to have 51 per cent of the people petition for the chance to vote on franchises. , And maybe the explanation that applies to Gavit applies in some way also to other senators who voted against it for Gavit is a large owner of public utilities in the northern part of the state. Brady, Farrall, Fleming, Gavit, Gers, Hauck, Hunt, Kane, Kimmell, Kiatler, Moore, Netterville, Powers, Ratts, Royse, Sexon, Stotsenburg, . Strange, Trautman, Wood. Those are the men who did tho work the bi-partisan machine. Those are the men that went on record as In favor of franchises bought by public service corporations in the dead of night in special sessions of council with no chance of the people to protest even with the feeble means now in their hands which as every one knowB is little or nothing at all. Perhaps aome one Is saying. "Those things do not happen now." Listen to what is happening in Marion. Just a few days ago the Marion people called a mass meeting it .was last Monday night-r-a meeting of a thousand citizens to protest against the action of their city council in signing a contract with the light, heat and power corporation of that city. The meeting sought some way in which to destroy the lagality of 'the contract. In all probability this Is impossible. The meeting passed a resolution praying the legislature to pass a recall bill so that they, would have some way of removing their officials from office. The couacil was called together between two days without notice and it in a special session of council passed the contract in secret binding the city to an inequitable cont act . Listen to the Marlon Leader: "Any city official who feels that he is being too strenuously critisized should have thought of the consequences before he violated his pledges, deceived his constituents and the public generally, and under cover of the night and in a surreptitious manner bargained away the rights of the ' people in a matter in which he was acting under the instructions of the voters of the entire city, given in a duly authorized election."

That is the tale of all the cities in America. And yet Senator Wood of Lafayette had the audacity to say in the senate of the state of Indiana last Monday afternoon: "It Is foolish to foist on the people something they do not need and something they have not asked for." . The thousand people of Marion who met last Monday night can tell Woods about that. There are considerably over a thousand people in Richmond who will tell Mr. Wood what they think about It and they are in favor of the referendum law a real referendum law which will really give the people a square deal and some chance to defend themselves If necessary. It will relieve councils, mayors and boards of works from the inevitable criticism that comes from any sort of dealing with public service corporations It simply puts the matter up to the people. It gives the men the citizens who are the real parties to the contract' the right to say whether they will accept It or not. No public official in his private life who has his attorney draw up a contract but wants the chance to refuse the contract if it does not suit him his attorney has done his work by drawing up the best terms with the contracting party for the public official is the attorney and the agent of the people.

Every one knows what the shame of the cities is. . The referendum for franchises is only one of the many things that are needed 4o give things some semblance of being a government by the citizens. When this thing comes up again we all want to see Wayne county's representatives in the legislature fighting for a real referendum lawone that will work if we get It In Richmond. We may need it.

Heart to Heart 9 Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

Copyright. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye THE HARD JOB. For the sake of its lesson let me retell a newspaper story:At the oge of thirty a youns man In New York state wns a carpenter earning about $2 a day. He was not a good carpenter, haviag no talent for tools. There was little prospect of getting up to be a boss carpenter or contractor. And Lis family was growing. After much thought about his future he went to a successful man for advice. "Do something else," said the adviser "something different. It it is a hard job It will make you determined to do It. It will develop the character that will bring success." "Why not study stenography? Good shorthand reporters are scarce, and they get good pay." "But I lack education." "Get it, then," said the man. The carpeuter talked the matter over wfth his wife and decided. He began by studying spelling. It was hard work, t'Ut Because he was trying to do a harder job than he had ever tried before It gave him courage. He became n very good speller and then bought some books on stenography. Then he needed a teacher and saved money to hire one. Finally, when he' had thoroughly learned the symbols that stand for words, in the evenings after bis day's work he would have his wife resd speeches to him which he -would practice taking down in shorthand. The time came when he could quit his carpentering and go into a lawyer's office. And at the end of a year his ability secured for him a court reporting position. Today this man has six or seven men working for bim and is making several thousand dollars a year as a public stenographer. The story is worth while because it is not a tale of a struggling , genius, but a recital of the determination of an average man who by hard work lifted himself out of a rut. Indeed, there is no genius save the genius for hard work. He who looks for an easy job is an easy man. tie who selects tne Dig jon becomes the strong man. It Is the hard job that puts iron Into a man's bones, convolutions into bia gray matter and fiber into his soul. MASONIC CALENDAR Thursday, February 2, Wayne Coun cil, No. 10, R. & S. M.
