THE NEW MEN ON THE JOI ) .
Uncle Sam. got impatient last November
vembor with the agents who had bcoi
managing his business with some sue
cess most of Ihe lime for flfly years
so he proceeded to put a number o
new men on the job. It is Interostini
to note what they are up to.
Governor Wilson of Now Jersey ha

In New York , In former days , abou

But this year there was an entlr
unwillingness to examine Iho quo *

look very good. II was decided , Ihr
while one does not like exile in S

of people for whom the place is we
lilted.
For a few days now , there is a di
maud among Uncle Sam's new agent
for an instant ratification of the no'
Canada treaty. The alacrity of soni
people on this is like the willlni
ness of Ai tennis Ward to sacrifice h
wife's relations. If cotlon could 1 ;

s
sec things differently.
The tupubliran pnily , we have fait
to think , will do the square thing c

which toil and tears and sacrifice ha\
gone , but if the Canadians are willir.

THE AGITATORS.
The commuting of the sentence i
Editor F. D. Warren of the "Appe

act thnt will to American
" appeal coi
u"
mon sense. Our revolutionary write
Is and orators ought not to be taken t <
seriously. Oflon il would bo mm
it more useful to present them with
boiled cabbage than to hurl the thu
derbolts of the law at them.
It was well enough to inlllct a ml
punishment on Warren for suggei
Ing ex-Governor Taylor's kidnnppiu
But if anyone else save a super-he :
ed socialist had done it , it would ha
been regarded as more of an effete
to demonstrate the brilliancy of li
wit , than as a suggestion of crime.
A small portion of our populatii
seems lo be suffering from volcai :
brain storm. It Is a question how
deal with these people. If some
them are given absolute freedo
crimes like the assassination of Prc
dent McKinley will be encourage
But in almost every case , . vlolo
language Is self destructive.
The ordinary man Is not anxious

Everyone who has a lltllo farm ,

wonder whore he would be by the

The boBt wny to deal with people

THE MOHTtNQPROPOSITION.
The News Is nee-used of Inconslsten
cy In Its position on the munlclpn
lighting plant piopoBlton now undo
discussion for the city , whorens It li
recited that not BO very long ago Tin
News offered to bccotna a , storkholde
In n plant thai was planned In onpr
slllon lo the Hullock en'tet prise. At
Bimie for the sake of the point thn
The News did' make such nn ouoi
Assume that The News Is one of th
largest consumers of electric curren
in the city , and thnt previous to thi
offer its business had been harassr <
and handicapped by Intermittent elec
trie power. Assume also Hint Th
News was not pleased/ the treal
nient It was receiving nt the band
of the Norfolk Electric Light nn
Power company. Even then Th
News did not want to go into Ihe bus
iness of producing electricity , bflt t
view of the kind of n service that ha
been furnished , It seemed as thong
It would be necessary to enable It t
continue business.
But shortly nfter thnt , condition
changed nt the electric light slatloi
The new equipment was Installed an
this gives n Rtranger , more rellabl
service. A working agreement wn
made with the electric plnnl nt th
Sugar City Cereal mills , thus givin
nn auxiliary in a different part of Ih
town fr.om the light stallon , located s
far away that if an accident happen
to one It Is highly improbable thnt th
same accident would Incapacitate th
other , and this condition comes a
near insuring uninterrupted service n
is possible. *
The installation pf a municipal Ugh
ing plant will also affect , but to a lesi
er degree , the Norfolk gns compnn ;
depriving that company of a sourc
of revenue from slreet lighting. Th
News Is likewise one of the heavies
consumers of gas as well as electrioit
in the city , and it has on more Urn
one occasion been seriously handlca ]
ped by failure of the gas company t
keep up needed supply , one day mis
ing its entire three editions becniiE
of gas Iroubles.
So Ihe argument hardly holds goo
against The News thai wo are flgh
ing Ihe municipal proposition becans
of personalities or friendships. Th
is a question that must be selllcd froi
a broader viewpoint thn'n person !
likes or dislikes. It is n question e
what is for Ihe bosl interests of 111
town as a whole , nol Ihoso of one ii
dividual or set of individuals , but (
all. Out here in Ihe west the slogn
cry has always been "patronize honi
industries. " . It has not yet lost il
isofulness. It is as much needed t
lay as it was when the llrst infai
industry plendcd for patronage of i
iclghbors forty years ago. It is
principle thai is as apt to a city go
eminent as it is to an individual. Y\ \
want new industries. We solc <
among our fellows , members of Coi
nercinl clubs to offer inducements I
industries to locate among us. At
after we get these home indnstrli
Iho people of a cily should make
possible for them lo live and prospc
And while It is right and a dm
every Individual owes the town
which he lives to do all he can
help his neighbor become prospcroti
yet it is much more a duty for tl
city government to help build up tl
enterprises that have already locate
The greatesl good lo Ihe greatest nm
her means the upbuilding and not tl
destruction of a home industry by 11
city where it hab located.
Supposing Ihe city finds that it c :
install an electric lighting plant he
and thnt the interest on bonds , le'
for sinking fund and cost of opei
tion , will all amount to no more tin
similar service performed by plan
already in operation oven If it cou
be done nt a slight saving , still t !
clly Is not justified In voting bon
for Iho purpose of pulling one pin
out of business nnd seriously cr :
pllng another , as would undoubted
w the case In this Instance , nor Is t
clly council juslilied in calling an elt
tion for that purpose.
It Is agreed by all thai Iho slree
should bo boiler lighted , but do i
really need at this time the abui
mice of light thnt Is contemplated t
der the municipal proposition ? Woi
it not bo moro lo Hie inleresl of I
t people lo give us an adequate servl
now and then gradually Increase it
the necessities grow ? This plan
gradual 'expansion would not precl
talc us Into Ihe position of malnla
ing a plnnl al a high cosl whether
Us product Is needed or not.
When the matter of lighting is s
tied this time it will uneloubtedly
for a number of years. If Iho c
fails to vote bonds for the installall
of a new plant , then conlracl will i
questionably bo made with exlsll
companies to furnish light for t
streets. When this is done , such rej
lutlons should bo thrown around the
companies ns will not only assure t
city good service but private const !
s ers ns well , because ns a matter
fact , private as well ns public nor
vice Is at stake In Iho present ngltn
tion. The city council .should naminu
the responsibility to which It Is en
titled and by oidlnanro regulate tin
ralos which these companion may eel
loci from private consumers , batu > t
upon the kind and amount of servlci
nwl , till' rates to ho compensatory t <
the companies and fair to the con
BiimerB. fn this connccllon. provtstoi
hhenild bo made foi heavy potmltlcm fo
failure of service when needed. Thosi
compnnles are serving the public nm
should be subject to public regulation
the snmo as n railroad Is.
The city should stand tn the sum
position to the light companies tha
Iho railroad commission does to th
railroad compnnles. When n perso :
has n complaint the city should stmn
ns n court of redress , to whom appeal
may be made , and the rights of hot
sides to the controversy determine !
Under the slipshod manner at prosen
In vogue , a consumer who does no
think he has been fairly treated ca
only argue the matter with the con
pony , and if he jloes not like the d <
clsiou of the company all that Is lei
for him to do is to discontinue th
service. This , however , Is not the on
sought by the ordinary consumer , be
cause electricity and gns have passe
the stage of luxuries and have becotn
necessities. As necessities , the pin
chaser is entitled to tholr use r
prices nnd under conditions which nr
fair and square between man nnd mm
Rigid restrictions should , be throw
around the transactions of these con
pnnles and It should be made posslbl
for the veriest enemy of one of thei
to I'ompel the company to give hli
just ns ndequate service and nt th
same price that his neighbor receive ;
nnd for all consumers to demand an
receive , through the city regulation !
just what they nre paying for fin
< lnss service and that at reasonabl
cost. -
If a consumer Is receiving insu
flclent current to operate his plan
there should be a manner of dotormli
ing whetuer the current sent to hi
place Is being restricted , and If it I
so found there should be a way e
compelling an ndequate flow. Unde
their charters , these companies nude
take to do certain things and the
must keep their plants in condition t
perform the services which their cha
ters call for.
We are nol saying that their price
are too high thai is a mailer fc
a competent coinmltleo lo find out n
ter studious investigation bul tl :
rates thai Ihey are allowed to charj
should be fixed by the city , so that
business man who contemplates instn
lalion of fixtures for either gas or ole
tricky may know just what he wi
pay fho years irom now as well c
he does what the cost will ho for tl
lirst year.
Regulation of such matters ns thes
come clearly within tlio jurisdiction <
the city council , and should be dor
for the protection nnd satisfaction <
companies and consumers , that tl
queslion of rales and Ihe quesllon i
llghl may be selllod fairly and oqul
ably and permanently.

Untruthful and a Murderer
The speaker fjuoli d Jesus , ihe pr < i
Teacher , as hajing tint "Satan \ % n n
murderer from the beginning , and al > u I
not In the Truth" ( John vlll. 44) ) Th
ho said , corroborated the many u'l
statements ot Scripture respecting th v
personality ot Satan. An evil prim tp !
could not truthfully bo termed u mm
derer nnd a falsifier Such terms < mni
apply only to on Intelligent being , su
ns the Hlblo describes Lucifer , now cil' '
Satnn.
St. Paul likewise refers to Satan ai a
person. Baying. "Vs'o are not Ignorant of
Ills devices" ( IT Corinthians il , 11) ) , an I
ngaln , "We war not with llesh nnd bloo 1
( merely ) , but with wicked spirits In
power" ( Kpheslnns vl. 12) ) . Thu
held lhat Satan has ceitaln evil nngeK
of an Inferior grade subordlnato to him
nnd over whom ho Is the prince or ruler
"Tho I'rlnco of demons " These , hn said
ho inlrfht refer to more particularly next
Sunday. Through these evil spirits for
[ > lx thousand years a nwlevolc nt Inlluenco
line been exercised upon mankind
Not only have they preyed upon human
weaknesses and passions , but , as adver
saries of ( Joel , they have used e\ci\ d--
vlco at their command to misrepresent th *
Dlvlno character nnd 1'lan , putting da- ( -
ness for light and light for darkmss It
wns these false teachings , propagated by
Satan nnd ht.s demon bubordlriatcs , thi'
the Apostle rcfetied to as "doctrines it
devils" ( I Timothy iv , 1) )
The Logos In Contrast With Lucifer
Tlio speaker believed that St Paul hid
) n mind the rebellious and degenerate
course of Lucifer nnd Intended to Insu
Into a contrast between the course of
those In the passage whleji declares thif
Christ , the Logos , meditated not a usurpa
tion , not to ho like God. but , on the con
trary , was willing to hunibla himself and
tnko a bondman's form and then to b-i-
como obedient unto death , even the death
of the cross. Tha Aposilo declares , "Him
hath God highly exalted nnd given a nam-
which Is nbova evci y name" to which
angels bow. The contrast la thnt Luclfei-
ollowed prldo lo rankle. In his heart an 1
to lead him to rebellion , while the Logos
fully loyal to Jehovah , submitted himself
obediently to every test of loyalty ap
plied. The ono who Fought lo exalt him
self will be abased to tha Second Death
The ono who humbled himself In obedi
ence to death , the death of the Cross , will
experience the great reward glory , honor
nnd Immortality , much moro than Satan
ever dreamed of.
