That Raise in Water Rates If the water works company must have more

money in order to meet demands for higher wages on the part of its employees, and conse

quently intends to raise water rates to the consumer, let it for once in its life deal justly with the domestic consumer. As we have pointed out time after time in these columns the water company's rates are on a sliding scale. The domestic consumer class, made up in the majority of people of small incomes, is forced to pay the highest rate, 25 cents a thousand gallons. The large manufacturers and the railroads using in excess of 75,000 gallons monthly pay only 6 cents a thousand gallons. If anyone's water rates should be raised to meet the increased expense the water company may be put to, it is those whose low rates constitute nothing short of robbery from the ordinary citizens of Richmond. For do not forget, the water works company must receive an average price for water in excess of its cost of production. When one class is favored by rates below the cost of production, another class, the domestic consumers, is forced to pay the difference. Let the railroads and large manufacturers begin the upward climb in rates in this case and do not add any further to the already high cost of living for the working and professional classes. Constructive Statesmanship! Attorney General McReynolds has solved the trust question! All you have to do is to place a graduated tax on industries according to the amount of business they do, and there you are. Competition is restored, the weak no longer are at the mercy of the strong and unscrupulous, and government has a scad more money to fritter away on pork barrel legislation. Don't you see it ? Why, it's so simple! All you have to do is to let a manufacturer finish his business year and count up the amount of his rewards, which are

we win sajr, uidii iiio icsa ciiiuiciii, ux iij-rebate-favored competitor. Then you tax away into government's coffers the difference between the net profits of the two. And there you are. That brings down the common people's high cost of living. And causes the rooster to crow. Simple, isn't it?

Natural Gas Rates The average citizen of Richmond, particularly the one who carries his lunch to the shop, appreciates the cleanliness and convenience of gas, and is equally, if not more, impressed by any chance to buy this fuel or illuminant cheaper. Fortycent natural gas appeals to him very strongly in contrast to $1.10 artificial gas. Unless he is unthinking, however, he does not care to pay even 40 cents in order that two other more favored classes may receive the same gas for respectively 35 and 30 cents. All that the Logan Natural Gas and Fuel company cares for is to receive an average price for all its gas that may be used by all classes of consumers in this city, sufficient to cover its cost of production and yield it a fair profit. Why then should it become a partner to the old, old scheme of extortion from the weak and lowly in offering its gas for sale at three different rates? Why should not this company offer just one and the same rate to all natural gas consumers and do its share in this one particular in driving a spike into the coffin of inequality? Why should not the Commercial Club, that advertises itself as standing for the best interocto rf sill T? ifVimrnrl nr-rrrrn i a in urmnrv Vi

gas company to enter this field with a uniform rate to all gas consumers ?

The High School Exhibit Excellent progress along vocational education lines has been made by the Richmond high school during the school year now coming to a close, proof of which is the exhibition of the work of the young men and women in that department, now on display at the high school building. More importance has been attached to this feature of school work by the local high school than the majority of such institutions throughcut the state, and the popularity it has attained in this city is ample evidence that no mistake was made by the last legislature in stimulating practical education. Less than ten years ago the educational viewpoint in Richmond was to graduate young men and women from the high school with nothing more than a thorough preparation for a classical course in some college or university. No thought was given to the fact the majority of the graduates completed their educational work in the high school. ' With the modernizing of the system of educa

tion in the local high school a remarkable increase in attendance has been noticed. The increasing importance given to vocational education, however, has not been at the expense of the classical course, but young men and women now have the opportunity of learning something more than their geometry, Latin, botany and chemistry. The boy can learn the fundamentals of the machinist's trade, for instance. The girl can learn to sew and cook. Both boys and girls can leaVn to be competent stenographers and bookkeepers. Excellent as is the vocational education course in the local high school there is still the opportunity for broadening it by the introduction of training in more of the general lines of work.

EDUCATION FOR LIVING

Kansas City Star. The modern educator is a man who connects up his education in a vital way with the problems of living. President Lowell of Harvard, who was in Kansas City a few days ago, brought his educational equipment to bear on the matter of governmental efficiency. Last night President King of Oberlin spoke to the Westport graduates on "The Fine Art of Living" in the light of modern psychology. As interpreted by Doctor King, psychology is far from the old dry-as-dust study that it so often has proved to students. Instead, it is a thoroughly live subject which has developed certain principles of the greatest practical importance. Its conclusions, for instance, are all in favor of useful activity, of work, as the normal wholesome process of the human system. They show that aelfconsciousness is an obstacle to the successful performance of any duty. They emphasize the fact that pleasure is a by-product of human activity and cannot be successfully pursued for its own sake. This linking of life with the fruits of human achievements in all lines of inquiry and culture is one of the aims of modern education. In so far as the aim is realized education is fulfilling its mission. Such books as President Lowell's "Government of England," President King's "Rational Living" and "The Moral and Religious Challenge of Our Times" and President Wilson's "Constitutional Government" are the fine products of an educational system that is making itself an increasingly valuable factor in American life.

THE WAY TO SLEEPTOWN

The town of Sleeptown is not far In Timbuctoo or China, For it's right near by in Blinktown county, In the state of Drowsylina, It's just beyond the Chingumboo Hills, Not far from Nodville Center; But you must be drawn through the valley of Yawn. Or the town you cannot enter. And this is the way They say, they say, That Baby goes to Sleeptown. Away he flies over Bylow Bridge, Through Lullaby Land to wander, And on through the groves of Moonshine Valley, By the hills of Wayoff yonder; And then does the fairies' flying horse The sleeping baby take up Until they enter, at Jumpoff Center, The Peekaboo vale of Wakeup. And this is the way They say, they say, That Baby goes to Sleeptown. Sam Walter Foss.

Poor, weak, human nature is so prone to deceive itself that, if Senator Penrose continues this pose of lofty virtue much longer, he will fall to wondering how it came about that such a good man as he didn't study for the ministry.

cause of weak stomachs. We are continually hearing of the benefit that Peruna is In derangements of the stomach. Gradually the stomach gets worse and worse until the victim lnds himself or herself incapable of taking ordinary food. Mrs. Bauer's was such a case. We extract from one of her letters a brief statement of what she says about it: "I cannot praise your wonderful medicine, Peruna, enough. It has done much for me during the past ten years, and I keep it in the house continually. I was in such a condition that I could eat nothing but bread and milk, and even that was too heavy for me at times. Now I can eat anything. "I will recommend Peruna to all my friends. People who object to liquid medicines can now obtain Peruna Tablets. .CAdrerUamcat

Only twenty shares are left in the hands of the Richmond Lake and Park company's project at Hawkins' Springs. Three hundred and eighty-six shares have been sold and it is probable that the remaining shares will be sold as soon as the lots are placed on sale. The stockholders have their choice of the lots and the shares are worth their face value toward a lot. Dam Nearlng Completion. The work on the dam is progressing rapidly and the concrete spillway will be completed the latter part of this month. The water will be in the lake next month according to present plans. The plat is being arranged by Harry Sandusky of Cincinnati. The lots will

probably not be placed on sale until next month as it is not deemed advisable to sell lots until the water line has been determined. The lots will K from 40 to 50 feet wide and from &0 to SO feet deep. Sewer To Be Built. Richard Sedrwick has been employ ed to take charge of the construction work other than the dam. The springs on the south side of the proposed lake are now being drained by M,r. Sedgwick. Before any permanent cottages are constructed a sewer will be placed. It will be constructed on the southern shore first and probahjy not until next year will it be exteatVd to the northern shore.
