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.” . The attendant in the dentist’s office pproached the man with the swollen jtiw wln had just entered. “Do you want to have a tooth extracted?” she inquired. “Want to!” he snorted. “Want to! What do you think I am, a lunatic? I’ve got to.”—Ann Arbor Chaparral. ' 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.

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. Frank Z Curry. “Uncle” Laughed Last. In a crowd waiting for a car at Elev enth street and Grand avenue the oth er day was an old negro who was in clined to be discursive. Two high school boys believed they saw a chance to make fun of him and made several remarks at which they themselves laughed heartily. Finally one of them said, “You’re a preacher, aren’t you, uncle?” “Yes, Rah,” replied the negro, bring ing forth a card. “Ah’m a undertaker too.
