We’d be willing to make a rea sonable wager that farmers want no limit put on their profits until they have had a chance to recuper ate for losses which they claim for the past few years. All things are not what they seom. Tho so-called guaranteed profit for public utilities is one of those things. We do not believe that we have told Mr. Wheeler anything that he did not know, or would not have said, had he had the time, but he left a wrong impression with some. We trust that this corrects those who got a wrong impression and we trust that it corrects the error of many who did not hear Mr. Wheeler but who have imagined that they were being wronged because public utilities were guaranteed a profit from government funds. Ruch is not the case and has not been the case since the railways went back to private ownership and operation, since which time, it may be said, they have had a much better oppor tunity to earn profits than they ever did under government misman agement. HINGS WE THINK denee that all the prophets were not mistaken ill this «utter? The Adventist church has been prophesying the second coming of Christ ever since it was organized by Miller and in the early day» they would fix the day, if not the hour, in which he should come, but after repeated failures they learned wisdom and have ceased to fix the day definitely but place it some where in the near future. But suppose it is all true, just as they say, what of it? If Omnipo tence has fixed it just that way and it is to be, it will be; and nothing you or I can do will stop it. Man kind should live the right sort of life, not in fear of an earthquake or the second coming of Christ, but because it is right for right’s sake. Au^othcr jMirt of jno£ive JI>ack o£, right living is not worth a whoop to the liver. The man who does not steal your property because he fears the penitentiary, is a thief just the same. “He who looks upon a wom an to lust after her hath already committed adultery with her iu his heart,” and he who looks upon your property to covet it has al ready committed theft.
