Editor Fred Howard in his Clay County Sun (Nebraska) writes: “So much has been said and is be ing said in abuse of Public Utilities that unless you have a mind of better than the average balance you are lia ble to become antagonistic to one of the greatest developments in the past two decades. “There should be no disputing the fact that our great utility systems are prosperous. but their prosperity should be credited to their superb manaferial heads rather than to crooked practices. That men who understand gas, elec tricity. water and petroleum should be invited to speak in our institutions should be nraised rather than con demned. That text books w'ritten by practical business men should supplant those of the theorists is a happy thought for those who recognize that our educational plants are being taken farther and farther away from the things we expect of them by insti-uct ors who have no skill other than that gained by book study. Do not be rushed off your feet by the speeches of legislators who pose as being your protectors when they flay any branch of the nations big, successful commer cial institutions. If you are capable of thought of any kind, you have brains enough to know that 99.9% of our men in public life, politically, have no greater ambition thafn to perpe tuate themselves and that they have found the easy way to do this to be in blinding voters with arguments which the voter accepts because he has not information enough at hand to re fute. Truth is that big business today is honest. Honest because honesty is the only policy upon which big business dares operate. On the contrary big politics is tainted because big politi c’’ans have discovered that the ordi nary voter is influenced more ny sfC ious arguments than tangible truths. Be fair in your judgment and be slow in your condemnation. It is easier to tear down than it is to build.” MEEK AND VICINITY. A. L. Borg helped Guy Hull move Monday.
