Goodrich and the Utilities Act The direct and definite answers of James P.

Goodrich to the questions of the South Side Im-

provement association regarding changes in the present public utilities act as contrasted with the indefinite answers of John A. M. Adair, Democratic nominee for governor, show again that the Republican candidate has a first hand and comprehensive knowledge of the needs of Indiana while Adair is waiting until he gets into office before he intends to give the problems of the Indiana commonwealth his direct attention and study. Goodrich knows now what is needed ; Adair must first study the problems before he can suggest a remedy. In his speech at South Whitely in Whitely county, Goodrich comes out with a direct promise of proposing to the legislature those changes in the public utilities act for which the city of Richmond has been clamoring since it went up against the present commission and discovered that the rights of the people are not protected as fully as they should be in the present act. Without casting any reflections on the integrity of the commission, the assertion can honestly be made that the public service corporations have received the better of every case that the city of Richmond has brought before the commission, and every one knows that Richmond has been before the commission with enough cas-

I es to test out thoroughly the provisions of the : act. In every case, without an exception, the corporations in the long run have received results

that were beneficial to them while the people have been forced to pay the bills. Mr. Goodrich hits the nail on the head and expresses the sentiment found in Richmond when he says: "It was not intended by the law to set up a court with all of its rules of procedure, but to set up a board of inquiry with power to set on foot an investigation on its own motion. Appeals were provided in order to protect the rights of both the utilities and the people served. The spirit of the law contemplates informality and simplicity. Any ten people or even a civic organization are supposed to be able to present grievances to the commission. Yet not only has the commission been made up largely of politicians, but also of lawyers trained in the atmosphere of court and some of them unable to grasp the idea of informal determination of economic and social questions outside the established judiciary. 'This is a law suit,' said the chairman of the commission in a recent hearing. "The result has been that the people served by the utilities, unorganized and unfinanced as compared with the companies, find themselves pretty much in the same position as before compelled at large expense to employ lawyers and to become involved in all the mazes of a lawsuit." The conclusion reached by Mr. Goodrich receives the approbation of every thoughtful man in Richmond. He says : "I want everyone to understand clearly that

if I am elected governor, we are going to have a public service commission in touch with the best thought of the day and the best social spirit of

the times. In no department of the state's serv

ice is it so important that the men appointed

should be possessed of the broadest public view, in full sympathy with the social spirit and intent

of the law or whose character will carry convic

tion of the highest public service, free from any

influence or purpose other than the public welfare."

DROPS SLANDER SUIT

EATON, O., Oct. 16. Mrs. Etta Smith, charged by George T. Acton with slander, was dismissed by Mayor Foos. Mrs. Smith lives in a property owned by Acton and the alleged slander was Reaped upon him when he went to collect rent said to be due.

'"You're Mr. Hamilton, aren't you? he gasped. 'Oh, come quick, sirl Mr. Ferrand's had a 6troke or something, and I was just running to get help. You don't remember me, I guess. I'm Mr. Ferrand's new office-boy, Frankie Allen. You was In to see him. about ten days ago, don't you remember?' "Well, as I told you, 'Nita dearest, old Mr. Ferrand was one of my father's best friends. His offices were in the Colossus Building, and I had been in to see him about ten days before so in spite of Mr. Blaine's warning, I was perfectly unsuspecting. Of course, I didn't remember his office-boy from Adam, but that fact -never occurred to me, then. I went right along with the boy, and he talked so volubly that I didn't notice we had gotten into the wrong elevator the express until Its first stop, seven floors above Mr. Ferrand's. They must have staged the whole thing pretty well Carlis and Paddington and their crew for when I steeped out of the express elevator, there was no one in sight that I remember but the boy who was with me. I pressed the button of the local, which was just beside the express there was

a buzz and whirring hum as if the elevator had ascended, and the door

opened. As -1 "stepped over its thres

hold, I felt a violent blow and terrific

pain on the back of my head, and seemed to fall into limitless space. That was all I knew until I woke up in the hospital where Mr. Blaine had taken me after discovering and rescuing me, to see your dear face bending over mine!" "One of Paddington's men was waiting and hit you on the head with a window-pole, as you stepped into the open elevator shaft," Blaine supplemented. 'It was all a plant, of course. You only fell to the roof of the elevator, which was on a level with the floor below. There they carried you into the office of a fake company, kept you until closing time, and got you out of the building as a drunkard, conveying you to Mac Alarney's retreat in his own machine. Nobody employed in the building was in their pay but the elevator man, and he's got his, along with the

rest! Paddington's scheme wasn't

bad; if he'd only been on the square, he might have made a very brilliant

detective!"

"How terrible his death was!" Anita

shuddered. "And how unexplainable! No one ever found out who stabbed him, there in the park, did they?"

Blaine did not reply. He knew that on the day following the discovery of

the murdered man, one Franchette Durand, otherwise Fifine Dechaussee, had sailed for Havre on the ill-fated La Tourette,' which had gone to the bottom in mid-ocean, with all on board. He knew also that an hour before the French girl's last tragic interview with Paddington, she had discovered the existence of his wife, for he himself had seen to it that the knowledge was imparted to her. Further than that, he preferred not to conjecture. The Madonna-faced girl had taken her secret with her to her swiftly retributive grave in the deep. Blaine rose, somewhat reluctantly. Work called him, and yet he loved to be near them in the rose-tinted high noon of their happiness. "I'll be on hand tomorrow, indeed I will!" he promised heartily, in response to their eager request. "To-mbrrow! Just think!" Anita buried her glowing face in her lover's shoulder for an instant, and then looked up with misty eyes. "Just think,

if it Jiadn't been for you, Mr. Blaine,

there wouldnt be any tomorrow! I don't mean about your getting my father's money all back for me I'm grateful, of course, but it doesn't count beside the greater thing you have given us! But for you, there would never have been any tomorrow." "That's true!" The young man's arm encircled the girl's slender waist as they stood together in the glowing sunlight, but his other hand gripped

the detective s " w e owe lite, our happiness, the future, everything to you!" And so Henry Blaine left them. At the door he turned and glanced back, and the sight his eyes beheld was a goodly one for him to carry away with him into the world a sight as old as the ages, as new as the hour, as prescient as the hours and ages to come. Just a man and a maid, sunshine and happiness, youth and love! that, and the light of undying gratitude in the eyes they bent upon him. The End.
