Heart to Heart Talks r' By JAMES A. EDGE R TON

PUBLIC MANNERS. Men do in crowds what they would not think of doing as individuals. We had numberless examples of It during the late presidential campaign. The candidates for our highest office were almost mobbed by the crowds,

were Jammed and rushed, called by their first names or nicknames and generally treated In a way that showed public bad manners. Yet most of. the men making up these mobs probably pass as well bred. In their personal ' relations they are doubtless courteous and considerate of others. Do we not need lessons in public manners? The question goes deeper. Not only manners are Involved, but morals. The lynching bee Is an example. The mob may be composed of mild mannered and exemplary men; but, joined to others, they become savage brutes. ' Do we not need education in public morals? The problem goes still deeper. It is not the crowd that Is at fault, but a failure to distinguish between public and private. Some man Is elected to office. As a private citizen he Is reputed to be honest. After a few years In public place It is discovered that he is a grafter, a defaulter or a corruptlonlst. He seems to think public money may be stolen with Impunity because it belongs to nobody in particular. He does not hesitate to enrich or advance himself at the expense of the entire community. He commits crimes that he would not think of committing In his private capacity. Do we not need training in public conscience? Theft of public property is even worse than theft of private property because it concerns more people. Violation of public standards is more demoralizing than violation of private standards for the reason that the example Is seen by the multitude. Democracy Is comparatively new in the history of the world. It has made

each of us a self governing unit, and

we have not yet learned all of the roy al lessons of kingship over self.

Still less have we learned our right

relationship to the public. Each person is a dual being, an individual and a part of society.

I e need development on the public

side, which means better public manners and more public honesty.

Peg Tankards. The pegging or marking of drinking caps was introduced by St Dunstan to check the Intemperate habits of the times by preventing one man from taking a larger draft than his companions. But the device proved the means of Increasing the evil It was intended to remedy, for. refining upon St Dunstan's plan, the most abstemious were required to drink precisely to a peg or pin. whether they could soberly take such a quantity of liquor or not

It has occasioned no surprise to learn that the Terre Haute, Indii anapolis and Eastern Traction company is active in the fight to mutilate the Snlvely public utilities bill to such an extent that it will be rendered absolutely worthless, for Richmond people have learned by long and bitter experience that that corporation is utterly reactionary. Progressive business men connected with various public service corporations in the state will undoubtedly lend their support to the measure, holding the sensible opinion that effective state supervision over public utilities will be as great a benefit to the corporations concerned as to the people. A former prominent Richmond man, now holding a high position with a great railroad company and who is financially interested in a number of public service corporations in Indiana, remarked last spring while on a visit to this city that he Bincerely hoped the Indiana legislature would place on the statute books a public utilities act as efficient as the Wisconsin law. He further remarked that any business man who opposed effective state supervision of public service corporations was shortsighted and dull. The Wisconsin public utilities law not only fully safeguards the interests of every class of citizens but it is a guarantee to the concerns operating under it that they can transact their business in perfect security and enjoy reasonable profits so long as they satisfactorily fulfill their obligations to the public. ' Since the creation of a public service commission in Wisconsin "graft" in connection with the granting of municipal and state contracts and franchises has become a thing of the past, to the keenest pleasure of both the public and the corporations. There are very few business men connected with public utilities who desire to resort to illegal methods to advance and protect the interests of their concerns, but there are far too many instances where they have been compelled to employ graft in their dealings with crooked public officers. A public utilities commission eliminates this great evil consequently it promotes reduced rates to the people served by public service corporations. One of the greatest institutions ever established by the United States government was the Interstate Commerce Commission, which has supervision over all common carriers doing business in two or more states. It has worked no hardships on the railroads and express companies, except those which have been conducting their business illegitimately, and it has been a wonderful boon to the public through its work in prohibiting unfair rates and of practically stamping out the rebate evil. A state public utilities commission can. in its own line, do just as effective work in controling all corporations within its jurisdiction. IT IS TO THE INTEREST OF EVERY CITIZEN OF INDIANA TO USE ALL, THE INFLUENCE HE HAS TO SECURE THE PASSAGE OF THE SHIVELY BILL.

What One Law is Doing.

Pending before the house of representatives of the Indiana legislature is bill No. 50 a good roads measure. The Palladium has hot received a copy of this bill but it is keenly anxious to inspect it to see if it provides for the repeal of the Three Mile Gravel Road law, one of the most unfair and ruinous acts ever written on the statute books. It Is highly desirable to secure better road legislation which will provide for expert construction and maintenance of highways, but the necessity of repealing a road law which is actually involving hundreds of townships financially through increases in their bonded indebtedness, and which is oppressing the taxpayers, takes precedence. Since the enactment of the Gravel Road law the general taxes in Wayne township, Wayne county, have been increased SEVENTEEN CENTS on the $100 valuation, and less than a half a dozen roads have been built In the township under its provisions. In Randolph county the law referred to is regarded as such a menace to the taxpayers that the auditor of that county some time ago concluded a report showing how much the law had increased the taxes, with the pointed query, "when are we going to stop?" His question is a natural one for in Randolph county the Gravel Road law has been responsible for increasing the taxes of the several townships an average of FIFTY CENTS on the $100 valuation, while in one township the taxes have been raised EIGHTY-SEVEN CENTS. When a road is built under the Gravel Road law every taxpayer in the townships through which it runs Is assessed to meet the expense, although hundreds of people are not even indireclty benefitted by the improvement. This is especially true of taxpayers residing in incorporated towns. They are compelled to donate to the construction of rural highways but the taxpayers living in the rural districts are not taxed for the construction of streets in the towns. Why Is this not class legislation, which is unconstitutional?

Fearful Force of Ocean Waves When They Run Wild. The average inland American who bus never seen the ocean has no real Idea of the force of Its waves. He

reads about the storm, of boats being carried away and bulwarks stove. Bui be does not realize the steam hammer blows that may be struck by mere water. A recent storm on the British coasts received the official designation of a storm of "extreme force." A picture taken in Hastings harbor shows the concussion with which the waves struck the sea wall, sending the spray apparently higher than the building? along the street Blocks of concrete and iron railing were torn from the new parade extension at Caroline place and tossed back into the roadway as it they had been bits of plank. Timber work that had withstood the stress ot years was torn apart and carried away.

Basements were flooded along all tfiei

seaward face of the town. Such a storm when it sweeps over a ship will sometimes carry away almost everything. on deck. Deck houses are often smashed, and the lifeboats are often stove in and ruined. Various attempts have been made to devise motors to develop power from the force of the waves. The amount of energy wasted through their lack ot success Is beyond estimate. If the power of the sea could be used it would drive the machinery of an unlimited number of plants. Chicago Tribune.
