By a vote of 41 to 2 the Bath city coz - -
poration has decided to sell the munic
ipal lighting plant, which It purchased
In 1896. A this had t>een run at a
loss, even without allowing for depre
ciation. the sale will result in an Im
mediate reduction of local taxes.
The Irish Independent states:
“The Bray urban council have de
cided to offer for sale their electric
light works, which have been run at a
very heavy loss, while the cost of pub
lic lighting was In excess of that of
Dublin, although the lamps were only
lighted for a third of the time they
were in the metropolis.”
The Dublin municipal plant, how
ever, was run at a loss la3t year of
over $20,000, irrespective of deprecia
tion, which would have brought the
Joss up to $50,000.

A Losing Game.
• The city council of England, Ark.,
has passed an ordinance leasing the
municipal electric light and water
plants for six years. An inquiry as to
the cause of this action brought the
following reply: .
**Xhe reason that the town wanted
to lease these was because for It to
operate them was a losing game, and
it could not afford it.” .

' Th Vanishing Triok.
Into the grocer't shop walked on an
cient lady with a slow and halting
tread and t arrying on her arm a bas
ket containing a large eurthenware pot
with a lid. Placing the baaket on the
counter, she made various purchases,
which she put carefully in the pot, and
had her Mil made out.
"By the way,” she said before paying
this, “do you mind keeping this pot
jaith the purchases In It until I come
back and pay tor them, as L have to
buy other things some distance off,
and-It will be more convenient for me
to leave the things here till later?”
This request was willingly acceded
to, and. lifting the pot carefally out
of the basket, the old dame placed It,
with an effort, In a corner; then, plac
ing her basket on her arm, left the
shop. Hours went by, day ripened
into evening, and evening gave way
to night, but the old woman did not
return. At last the proprietor thought
of examining the earthenware pot to
see if by any chance it had its owner's
address upon it, and great wag bis as
tonishment, not untinged with dis
may, to find that it possessed no bot
tom.—London Answers.

Judge Frank Z. Curry,
alias, Tom and Jerry,
Writes a Strong Letter.
When we state that no other class
of our countrymen exert and wield
as extensive an influence over tne
reading citenzenry of the land as
those who write for the papers and
periodicals, we Out express a truism
known to every thinking man The
press is a power in the Nation far
more potent than our great standing
army and colossal navy. The count
less number of the men of God who
stand, Sunday after Sunday, on Zions
wall and proclaim the merits of a
blood stained cross, and hold up a cn
sified Savior and Lord, who has prom
ised, “that if I beliftedup I will draw
all men unto Me,’’ even they have not
the power of the press. Knowing of
the wonderful influence of the press
to mould and cast sentiment which
will cause men to act, I have ever
keenly realized how such power im
p ies the gravest responsibility, and
how the man exercising it should hold
himself a countable, and should be
held by others accountable, precisely
as if he occupied any other position
of public trust.
It is essential that the man in pub
lic life and the man who writes in
the public press shall, both of them,
if they are really good servants of the
people, be prompt to assail wrong
doings and wickedness. But In thus
assailing wrongdoing and wickedness,
there are two conditions to bo fultill
filled, because, if unfulfilled, harm
and not good will r esult. Id the
first flace, be sure of your facts and
avoid everything like hysteria or ex
aggeration ; for to assail a decent man
fjr something of which he is inno
cent is to give aid and comfort to ev
ery scoundrel, while indulgence in
hpsterical exaggeration serves to
weaken, not strengthen, tho state
ment of truth. In the second place,
be sure that you base your judgement
on conduct a'nd not on the social or
economic position of the individual
with whom you are dealing. There
are good and bad men in every walk
of life, and their being goo l or bad
does net depend upon whether they
have or do not have large bank ac
counts. Yet this elemental fact, this
fact which we all accept as self-evi
dent, when we think each of us of the
people whom he himself knows in
his business ana social relations, is
often completely ignored by certain
public men and certain public writers
The men who thus ignore it and who
attack wickedness only when found
in a peculiar class, are always un
safe, and are sometimes very danger
ous loaders. Distrust equally the
man who is never able to discover any
vices of rich men to .attack and the
man who confines himself to attack
ing the sins and shortcomings of rich
men. It is a sura sign of moral and
mental dishonesty in any man if in
his public assaults upon iniquity he
is never able to see any iniquity save
that of a peculiar class; and this
whether he is able only <o see the
crimes of arrogance and oppression
in the rich or the crimes of envy and
violence iu the poor He is no true
American if he is a respecter of per
sons where right or wrong are con
cerned , and if he fails to denounce the
demagogue no less than the corrupt
ionist, or to denounce alike crimes of
organized greed and crimes of brute!
violence. Thera is equal need to de
nounce the wealthy man who swin
dles investors or buys Legislatures
or oppresses wage-workers and the
needy man or the one who inflames
class hatred or incites mob violence.
We need to hold the scales of justice
even,and to weigh them down on
one side is as bad as to weigh them
down on the other.
We are living in the dawn cf anew
era. There has been a great revolt
in this republic within the past three
ior four years against wrong, and
things are now so that a National
senator who breaks the laws is pun
ished as readily as a laboring man.
The field of public officials is being
subsoiled and purified.
the great masses of the people are de*
manding that we come back to the
first, principles of right. Even in the
religious realm people are leginnieg
to know that what was required to
saved a man in the days of Abel is
required in the days of 1907.
This I have written thatl may say:
To any observing man it is easily de
diseruable that the firld of public
officials in our midst needs soma
briars out, some scattering bushes
foiled, some grubing done, some wash
es stopped, some terraces fixed, some
turning of the land and much deep
subsoiling tobrihg about a rich, heal
thy and abundant yield My fellow
countrymen 1 HEAR me when I suy :
I have studiously and scrupulously
avoided mistating ONE SINGLE
fact in all the writings of Tom and
Jerry, and otherwise, since I have
begun this light of reform. You nmy
rest assured that I have had, and
will continue to have FACTS back of
me when l make a statement. I
fully am sensible of the truth of the
utterance when it is said, the mo
ment I mistate anytning I will be
drawn to an accountability for it.
This is not a personal fight. I
hold no ill-will against ANYONE.
I am striving for a purification of our
city politics, becauso I know if they
are tainted it is a contagion which
will reach to our county’s interest,
i am not infected with ‘’policy.” Tho
word “policy” used in the sense in
which you understand 1 use ic, is by
me, the most despised word in my
native lingual.
Little if any, do I cure about tho
jcersonel of the object of my criticism.
Do the square, fair and legal act and
you will find in meonewlio will stand
to you till all others quit, and, even
then, I will not desert you-
The tax assessment in Jackson
this year, is by no means, equalized,
About this we will have some remarks
in the next issue of The Jacksonian
U. V.
Be content, that whatever w say
will bo backed up by FACTS. How
long will we keep up this fight,?
lust as long as the facts hold out.
One of the members of tho council
told t.iio writer that they (the council)
were paying no atteni on to me. This
did not surprise me, because when
,nen, as city officials, trample tho
City Charter under their feet, I do
not hope to arouse THEM but ere
the close of this wi *l bring the
public mind to tyy place where IT
will call a return to the first princi
ples of right, honest and square deal
ing with their constituents, each and
every one them, be he a political
friend or foe.
I repeat it I This is not my fight.
There are people in Jackson toJny
who, with bread raised to their mouth,
s lould they complain it would be
aoricken from them They go to a
little window on Satuday’s night and
d - aw tt.elr small weeklv earniDgs
with which to feed their wife and
children and on election day they are
farced to go to the same little window
tnd get a ticket to put in the ballot
box. These are the bull-ragged a d
down trodden people I am expending
my inergies for and making un enemy
of the predatory wealth of Jackson
[f I can unyoke them anti be the
means of causing the burden of taxes
to lay on sll alike, rich and poor,
thuogh my life Is threatened, and a
business boycott promised, yea, if
I am reduced to beggary by reason of
theefforts, if success crowns my labors
and my unfortunate brother Is libera
ted from tlie austere domination 0/
the plundering wealth of Jackson I
will have won a glorious victory.
The public are not sure who Tom
and Jerry is, and in justice to their
anxiety to know, I subscribe hereto
the cognomen of that personage.
