More Trust Tactics
More evidence 'of the cut throat methods of the Light, Heat & Power
company have come to light through the refusal of this company to submit
in writing its offer to furnish lighting to the county jail and court Louse
at very reduced rates. This shows that the Light, Heat &. Power company
is just like any other trust in that it fears publicity. And just like all oth
er trusts at this time it is going to get its fill of publicity, for publicity is
the only way in which its dark methods can be combatted and the munici
pal lighting plant saved from the net spread about it. The citizens of Rich
mond owe a vote of thanks to the county commissioners for their refusal
to be party to the inside offers made by the local branch of the elective
trust. We would suggest that the merchants and citizens follow this line
when they are approached by any representative of the lighting trust with
an offer of low rates: Require the offer to be submitted in written
form and then if it is accepted require a contract to be given which will
jruarantee you those low rates for the next five or ten years. Do this and
watch the lighting trust squirm out of any such condition. Its representa
tive will tell you that he will give you a contract covering the next two
years but you have only to remember that those two years are the space of
time during which the Light, Heat & Power company is to be supported by
the other branches of the trust to the extent of $100,000. The Light, Heat,
& Power company for the next two years will have as its slogan, "Low
rates and may the devil take the municipal lighting plant." And at the
end of those two years if the municipal plant has been put out of busi
ness, "Now then, for the good old high, extortionate rates, and to the
dickens with the people."
The term "class spirit" ha3 become much abused. Today it is general
ly understood to stand for class scrapping, hazing, the defacing of college
property, etc., and, interpreted in this way, justly deserves the condem
nation it receives. Such actions usually result from the recklessness of a
few, but the class as a whole and the entire college community must suf
fer for them. With a little tact, could not this over-enthusiasm of the few
be united with the energies of the whole class and directed toward a
more profitable end? There are many ways in which the class may exert
its spirit which will tend to strengthen it and to make the class organiza
tion mean more to the individual member. For "class spirit," in its true
gense, must exist in every school, since it forms one of the essential ele
ment of college life. The Earlhamite.
From Elwood there comes the notice of the shut down of the Ameri
can Sheet and Tinplate company's factory, on account of a threatened
strike among two hundred openers. There is- much business depression as
a result of the move. Elwood once the proud city of the gas belt with
her flourishing industries, is steadily and surely falling behind. Elwood's
example Is certainly an argument in favor of such, solidity as is manifest
ed In Richmond's commercial enterprises.
It is to be regretted that fire destroyed Helicon hall, the socialistic
colony of Upton Sinclair. So many of such schemes fall through of their
own weight of impracticability that when such an enterprise gets fairly
started the public likes to see the elements hold off and give the novice a
trial.

An interesting story has been sent
out from Washington concerning the
arrival in that city of Eli Smith, the
hero of the Alaskan trail who with his
dogs and sleds passed through Rich
mond some time ago. The story says:
EASING UP IN SHORTAGE.
An easing up has come in the car
shortage of the west. But this does
not mean that there is a surplus, as all
western lines are short of cars and ex
pect to be. They have more cars for
two reasons. One is that their re
ceipts from car builders that has been
under way of late has begun to be
felt. Second, that there has been-a let
up in the movement of a few lines of
freight, especially in ice, which has
given the western as well as eastern
lines more cars for the grain and oth
er trade. They are handling a larger
business at this time than ever before
and are preparing for an equalization
of rates, according to the statement
given out in the local office. Mer
chandise is being moved at present in
large quantities. The present car
shortage is one where the situation
cannot be changed until there is a gen
eral failure of crops or a slump in the
present high degree of prosperity.
The curtailing movement under way is
southern Ohio and western Pennsyl
vania . roads, received at the local
freight offices last week, are expected
to be removed by the middle of the
week. The high waters are receding
rapidly and it will take about two
weeks' work to repair the roadbeds in
proper condition, but trains will be run
this week, the worst places in the
tracks having been repaired immediately.
FAVORS CO-OPERATION.
Henry Fink, chairman of the board
of directors of the NorfolK & Western
railroad, is heartily in favor of co
operation between the government and
the railroads and public and he con
tends that this should be accomplished
through the newspapers of the country.
