Goodrich and the Utility Commission Perhaps none of the arguments advanced by James Goodrich in support of his candidacy for governor will have a stronger appeal in Richmond than his clear cut views regarding the scope and work of the public service commission. The act establishing this commission was a piece of -Democratic legislation passed to satisfy the demands of the people for a closer, supervision of ;the activities of public utility concerns. A public service act in itself is a useful and good piece of legislation, but when it is drawn so that the rights of the people are not fully guarded it becomes a vicious instrument., t The present act can almost be called a failure and the men on the commission seem to be ignor

ant of their real duties, the result being that every city which has had cases before the commission has decided that the law must be changed if the people are to get their rights. Regulation and supervision of the public utilities afford little relief to the people if the public service corporations always receive decisions that favor them. On this point, Richmond can complain loudly and long. In every case it had before the commission, it was made to pay the price. When Goodrich promises to amend the act so that the commission cannot fix the valuation of a plant before its engineers have made a physical valuation of its property, he is offering solace to Richmond, which saw the commission fix an exorbitant value on a utility here before the commission's engineers had made a survey of the property. When he expresses his faith in the justice of not permitting the issue of stocks and bonds in excess of the physical value of a plant, he also offers hope for relief to Richmond which has seen this principle violated here. Richmond is looking forward to. John A. M. Adair's supplemental reply to the questions propounded by the legislative committee of the South Side. Improvement association. His first answer was too vague and indefinite.

CHESTER WILL CONDUCT YEARLY HOME COMIN DURING NEXT SUHDAYG

Z It was the evening before the feast for the Queen's birthday, and every If airy was greatly excited. Queen Iris would be 6,000 years old, but that 'meant a young lady in Fairyland, where some of the real old people lived for 60,000 years. But 6,000 was enough to cause a big celebration, and both the fairies and the flowers joined In planning a great time for their loved Queen. Late in -the afternoon just about sunset the Queen took a stroll in her beautiful gardens, and while wandering underTneath the lilacs she, thought she -caught a faint sound as If of busy tongues. So she flitted gently into the bush to hear. Sure enough there was a big crowd of fairies talking eagerly to the flowers which crowded the beds. ;So Iris hid in the leaves and listened. "We have everything arranged except one," said a tiny fellow dressed "in green with golden trimmed cap and wee, dangling sword. "And that is a 'carpet on which the Queen can walk. The ring we have used In the woods for a few thousand years Is worn out. Will any of you flowers allow your petals to carpet the spot?" The lily nodded Its stately head scornfully, the pansies opened their big eyes but said nothing, and the peonies shook their huge, red blossoms haughtily. Even the violets hid beneath their leaves at the idea. The crimson tulip shook the dew from' her cup in laughter. Then a -tall pink ' rose whose bloom had hundreds of beautiful petals spoke up. "You can hardly expect one of us flowers to act as a carpet for anyone," she cried angrily, tossing about on her slender stem. "Why not get someone more humble. We are the gems of the plant world and should not be trodden underfoot, even by the Fairy Queen." Now, right under the bush In which Iris was hidden was the soft tuft made by the tender, green clover which grew all over the garden. The little plant had no bloom, just tiny stems with three leaves. But It heard what was going on. Its heart beat with excitement, for It made up Its mind to speak. And it was a pretty brave thing for the clover to say anything right In the fairy meet Ing where all the great flowers were making speeches. But It took courage and said in a low voice, "I would like to say something." 'Oh. no," laughed the pink rose, bending down so she could gaze contemptuously at the clover. "So you want to have a word in this matter, you insignificant little thing." I wish to offer myself as a carpet for the Queen's feast at the fairy ring tomorrow evening," spoke the clover bravely. "It seems you flowers are all too proud to do this, but I would be proud to be of any use to our Queen." "That Is right, little clover," replied the fairy in green. "I thank you for your kind offer. Tomorrow we will have a soft turf of clover In the ring, and I am sure the Queen will think It beautiful, even if It is not a flower." Now, all the time Iris was hidden In the bush and heard every word. So she determined to say nothing till the night of the feast and there to publicly minlsh the proud rose. Next evening

the fireflies lighted the ring prettily, fairy musicians played softly on their lutes, butterflies of all colors flitted from the cups of the flowers hanging around the sod and over all was the soft light of the moon. The Queen was delighted when the car of pearl drawn by great golden bees drew up at the scene. She stepped down and walked to the delicate green of the clover which formed the carpet. "I am grateful for all your kindness, fair flowers and good fairies," she said. "But I am most grateful of all to the little clover which forms the carpet on which we tread. I was in the lilac bush yesterday when you were planning this feast and heard what was said. I listened as the proud rose sneered at the clover. Let the rose remember that pride goes before a fall, and that the noblest hearts never boast. "This wild rose now has a hundred

petals. In future she shall have but eight, and down her stem shall grow sharp thorns to teach her a lesson. But to this tiny clover I will give a white blossom so sweet that from It the bees shall gather their best honey, and to Its stem I will add another leaf, making it four Instead of three. And down the coming years the 'four-leafed clover' will be eagerly sought by all as an emblem of good luck." Tomorrow's story "The Cobbler's Old Shoes."
