Honest Gas for Honest Money Mr. Bavis' objections to the proposed franchise for supplying natural gas to Richmond are valid and true. The things left out under the assumption that the state utilities commission ."will provide for them, will be a fatal omission if the commission should be declared unconstitutional. When you buy gas you buy two important things, namely, heat units delivered at a certain fixed pressure. From the first statement made by the gas company's engineer, Mr. Krick, the Palladium is under the impression that the new company is offering gas that contains 1,200 heat units. It is

this standard quality gas that is offered you at 40 cents a thousand cubic feet. If the quality of gas supplied should drop to 600 heat units you would require 2,000 cubic feet of gas then to give as much heat as one thousand feet yielded previously. In other words, you would be using twice as much gas or you would be paying 80 cents for 1,200 heat units, where before you paid but 40 cents. There is nothing In the present proposed franchise that protects you from this contingency except the state utilities' commission. And the constitutionality of this commission is questioned. Under the state law a community has the right to include in franchises granted by it- provisions for quality of service. Richmond then has the right to protect gas consumers on the basis of quality of gas furnished. It can provide that the 40 cents you will pay for natural gas shall be for so and so many heat units 1,200, according to the company's engineer's first statement. And it can arrange so that if the heat units drop to 600 per thousand feet you will only have to pay 20 cents per thousand feet for the gas you consume ; because, at that price, you will still be paying 40 cents per 1,200 heat units, the unit of measurement for gas value. Large factories, efficiently managed, buy the enormous quantities of coal they consume on the heat unit basis. They do not pay two dollars a ton for one grade of coal that has 2,000 heat units per ton, and the same amount for another grade of coal that only yields 1,000 heat units per ton. They buy on the heat unit basis and not on the ton as the standard. - So with gas and the local consumers. Our city government is recreant to its trust when it does not insist on an honest bargain with the natural gas company. You ought to be enabled to buy your gas on the heat unit basis just as the efficient manufacturer purchases his coal according to that standard. .. President Whitcomb, of the Allegheny gas company, says his company will not come into Richmond if standards of pressure, quality, heat units, etc., are insisted on in the contract. Wtiy, if all he wants is to earn honest money for honest service?

A Suggested Reform Every session of congress brings with it the pork barrel. Podunk Center wants a postoffice building. Wants it built of expensive Indiana limestone. The congressman of the district in which Podunk Center is situated, mindful of the coming election, rustles around most busily and bids for Podunk Center's vote by getting a bill through congress providing for a fine limestone postoffice building for the little village. Podunk Center boasts, we will say, five hundred voters. The new building costs $25,000, or $50 per voter. Chicago with 500,000 voters has a postoffice building that cost $10,000,000, or $20 per voter. Podunk Center, in other words, has grafted $30 per voter from government, taking Chicago as the basis. Evidently Podunk Center has a postoffice building beyond the needs of the village. This condition could be automatically regulated with justice to all concerned. Let the United States government provide only a portion "of the money towards defraying the cost of postoffice buildings. Let this be a stipulated amount per voter, such as $10. And require at least as much more per voter to be raised by the community before the money is available. If Podunk Center then wants to build a $25,000 post office building, its . citizens 'can vote the $40 difference per voter.

history to exploit that mighty engine for molding public opinion, , the recently Invented printing press. Curiosity as to the appearance of a prominent man was no less keen than It Is now, and to gratify it, lacking the photograph and the halftone, the arts of the woodcutter and engraver were called into service. Particularly at the time of the Diet of Worms, when the eyes of all Europe were filed on the friar of Wittenberg, trumpeting his message to the emperor and estates of Germany, portraits of the protagonist In the great drama were produced in profusion and rapidly bought up by an applauding people. It is a pity that Albrecht Durer never saw Luther, for had he done so we should now possess a portrait of the latter worthy of Its subject. From the first Durer was enthusiastic for the Reformation. But a few months after the revolt from Rome was started with the posting of the "Ninety-five Theses," the painter sent the Wittenberg professor Some of his own etchings as a token of esteem. Early in 1520 thelr common patron, the Elector Frederick of Saxony, sent Durer some of the reformer's pamphlets. The artist replied to the elector's chaplain, George Spalatlh: I beg your reverence to express my warmest thanks to his grace, and please commend to him the excellent Dr. Martin Luther, for the sake of the Christian truth which concerns us more than worldly riches and power, for temporal things pass away, but the truth lives forever.

'No Man Knoweth His Sepulchre." T

When he, who, from the scourge of wrong, Aroused, the Hebrew tribes to fly, Saw the fair region, promised long, And bowed him on the hills to die. I God made his grave, to men unknown, Where Moab's rocks a vale infold, And laid the aged seer alone To slumber while the world grows old. Thus still, whene'er the good and just Close the dim eye on life and pain. Heaven watches o'er their sleeping dust Till the pure spirit comes again. Though nameless, trampled, and forgot, His servant's humble ashes lie Yet God hath marked and sealed the spot, To call its inmate to the sky. Bryant.

MARTIN LUTHER WAS HIS OWN PRESS AGENT

From Scribner's Magatine

Had Martin Luther lived nowadays his likeness would have adorned the front page of every newspaper, would have been displayed in many a shop window, and would hare been flaunted on flags and borne on buttons by his followers. He himself might not' have been averse to such publicity; Indeed, the success of the popular, progressive movement known as the Reformation was largely due to the fact that 1U leader was the first man in

An unbiased audience could scarcely help handing it to the Sayles Players last evening when they presented "Alias Jimmy Valentine." By many this is considered the best play presented by the company since their appearance in this city. This la the famous detective thief drama so much talked of. Every member of the company was excellent last evening, the minor parts being well taken Mr. Sayles did well in selecting his oast foe

this play and the parts were well at-

signed as was demonstrated by the performance last evening. The bouse was almost filled and several of the boxes were occupied. The story of the play centers around Jimmy Valentine, doing ten years for burglary In Sing Sing, taken by Francis Sayles. Sayles demonstrated the fact last evening that he is an actor. Besides the very excellent manner in which Mr. Sayles assumes this role there were several other surprises for the audience. Sam B. Wilson, a general favorite here, was very clever and was most realistic in his part of "Plinky, Davis" a forger. This is Mr. Wilson's last week with the company and his many friends regret his leaving. He has made many warm friends among the auditors during his short stay here. As "Red Jocylin," a "Yegg," Val

entine's pal also taken by Mr. Wilson, he was even better than in the former part. Miss Olga Worth, as Rose Lane, in love with Jimmy, was very attractive last evening. Miss Worth is a good actress and did better last evening than on any previous occasion. The scene at the prison when Mrs. Moore, taken by Miss Leroy, and Mrs. Webster, by Miss Meta Eyferth, members of "The Gate of Hope Society," visit the warden, taken by Charles Pullen was excellent. Carl Adamson, as "Dick the Rat," who appeared at this time did his part in an excellent manner. Doyle, a detective, taken by Carl G. Runyan, was probably at his best and appeared to better advantage than at any time during his engagement with the company. Little Miss Leah Mlnner, the child actress, who is a favorite with the

general public, was very attractive last evening. She took the part of Kitty, a sister of Rose Lane. Miss Myrtle Minner, a sister to Miss Leah, made her initial appearance in Richmond in the part of Bobby, brother of Kitty. She did some clever bit of acting. Joseph Schafer as Robert Fay, Lieutenant Governor of New York, was up to his usual standard, although the part was different from any he has taken since in this city. Dave Heilman, had the part Of Williams, a bank clerk. Carl Adamson as William Lane, Rose's father, did well. The members of the "Gate of Hope Society," Introduced a bit of humor throughout the play which added to its success. The play is in four acts and is full of difficult situations. It is well worth seeing and no doubt will attract large houses at each performance. "Paid In Full" will be presented next week. E. R. T.

BY HENRY CLEWS. NEW YORK. July 8. We enter the second half of 1913 after nearly a year of almost continuous shrinkage in Stock Exchange values. The highest

average point reached for twenty lead- i ing railways In 1912 was 124 on August 14th. and 92 for the twelve leading in

dustrials. On June 30th of the current year the average of twenty leading railways was 103 and of twelve leading industries 74. This is a drop within eleven months pf 21 points In the average of railroad shares and 18 points in industrial shares; an almost

sensational decline and the bulk of it has taken place since the election. ! That It has been accomplished with no serious disaster is excellent evidence of the inherent soundness of1 affairs in generaL Succession of Nightmares. Ever since the election the market

has been treated to a succession of nightmares. The Balkan war was one; fear of a worldwide stringency in money another; tariff revision another; an unsatisfactory railroad situation another, and the series of important dissolutions in compliance' with the Sherman anti-trust law still another. And yet the much dreaded Minnesota rate decision was finally handed down and proved to be reassuring rather than disturbing. The American Tobacco dissolution is out of the way. So, too, is the breaking up of the Harriman merger. Solution of the latter affords signal relief to the market, inasmuch as it removes a vast mass of securities, the final placing of which was a momentous problem. The Importance of this as a stock market factor has not yet been fully realized. Finally the monetary situation is righting itself. The July settlements abroad were passed without any of the moch feared disturbances. July payments in this country, often a source of temporary stringency, were passed without a ripple, and this in spite of unsatisfactory monetary conditions. In spite of July dividend and interest payments, aggregating $266,000,000, call loans ranged from 1 to 2V4 per cent Our tariff is now in the last stages of preparation, though it may be some weeks before actually passed and months before going into effect. The worst In this respect is already known, and any changes In schedules are likely to be a relief rather than an additional impediment to manufacturers and merchants. Once the bill Is passed, the disposition will certainly be to make the best of it, though for the last six months the inclination was naturally the reverse. In any event the propos

ed new schedules have already been largely discounted. Comparatively few concerns will be injured by the new rates, and it is frequently overlooked that In many respects the lower schedules will be a positive Impetus to trade activity. Bill' Has Rough Sailing. The currency bill is having rough sailing. It contains not a few new features which are unsatisfactory to bankers, and which leave the present bill more of a makeshift than a real cure for present banking and currency ills. Unfortunately popular prejudice and ignorance stand in the way of a really satisfactory currency measure. Probably the bill will pass in due time. But as a matter of

safety it would be well for Congress to extend the Aldrich-Vreeland bill until such time as a satisfactory currency bill can be enacted. As a result of the conservative banking policy pursued for the past two or three months our banks are steadily strengthening their cash resources and are now in a much better position for meeting the anticipated autumnal demands. Winter Wheat Yield Big. Outside of the financial district con

ditions are really more encouraging. The crop outlook is still very satisfactory, beneficial rains having fallen freely where most needed during the past week. The winter wheat crop is already harvested, showing a yield of 100.000,000 bushels greater than a year ago. The Government report on grain will shortly be out and will be watched with close Interest It is now making itself felt In the restraint imposed upon any except the most necessary plans for expansion or improvement. In short, the process of self-righting has been going on for nearly a full year; many difficulties have been safely passed and those that remain have been well discounted. As soon as the crop and monetary situations get beyond the range of uncertainty we may look for a better stock market. Just now pessimism Is in danger of being overdone.

One time he miscalculated, however, and was sent to trial on a charge of grand larceny. "Have you a lawyer, Mose?" asked the court. "No, 'sah." "Well, to be perfectly fair, I'll appoint a couple. Mr. Jones and Mr. Brown will act as counsel. "What's dat?" "Act as your lawyers-consult with them and prepare to tell me whether you are guilty or not guilty." "Yas, sah." Mose talked to his attorneys for a few moments in husky whispers. The judge caught only the word alibi, several times repeated. Then Mose arose, scratched his head, and addrest the court: "Jedge. yoh Honah," he said.
