H. Corey, newly elect ed member of the public ser Tke commission will ask the legislature to change the pub Ik fervice law in a manner that would be most highly gra tifying to electric companies, water companies and similar concerns but disasterous to the public. The Corev suggestion is the me thing that the utility cor porations tried to work through the legislature, two years ago hut failed because the dose was apparently too odorous for the eolons to swallow. The am endment would prevent any -utility company from compet ing with another company -without first securing the con tent of the state public service commission. In other words the monopolistic privileges now held by companies in many cities and towns would be more securely guarded and re lief for the public made more difficult to obtain. It would probably make it impossible for a town to install its own utilities. If Mr. Corey's services on the public service commission is to take this line he should get his salary from the utility corporations, whose interests he serves, r.ot from the people whose welfare he would flag isntly sacrifice. During the primary cam paign hist spring Mr. Corey re- "Let us have action, action songs. We have pilled rivers ot Diooa; ana what have we accomplished? The Buddhists have prayer mills, we have wishmills." The Temps recalls the ac tion of Fabius, when Rome was hard pressed by Hannibal, in veiling the Statue of Liberty on the Forum, while ho constitut ed himself dictator; and quotes the English philoso pher, Herbert Spencer, a3 likening state activity towards the outside to the thousand body activities governed by only one head. The Matin concludes its leading article on this subject with the words: "Today we know no 'civil rights' only 'war rights.' Let the civil grandmas sleep over their tea behind the curtain, w hile we men do." The same idea is expressed by the Echo de Pans which says: Let parliament hide its face until all ia over. LTntransigeant refers to the 'absolute dictatorship" of Gen eral Grant, and to the refusal of Napoleon to submit to inter ference from the convention. It is said the press has but reflected general sentiment in France and thaj; as a conse quence Premier Briand has been given virtual dictatorial powers. GUARD THE SETTLER A private monopoly is inde fensible and intolerable ac cording to democratic doct rine and it is sound doctrine ; a business that must be mono polistic should be controlled by the government, city, statt or national. More money is asked to sus tain the state insurance de partment; but it would first be timely to know if our in surance department is serving the state or the insurance interests. MOI5K THKI1T NKK1K1 To lllCAT Hl(;il COST 1.1MX(, THE ONCE OVER HE slogan of the state ir rigation congress is that the state should get be hind irrigation bonds. But if this is to be done it would be proper for the state to take over the entire control and su pervision of the work. It would be very unreasonable for anyone to expect the state' to finance irrigation schemes and then let private land own ers and speculators, walk off with the profits. The trouble with most irrigation projects, state or federal, is that the de tails are arranged too often with a view to taking care of big land owners and not en ough with a view to giving a square deal to the settler who is expected to do the work. A robber entered a meat market at Peoria, 111., and car ried off $60 worth of hams, but what did he carry away in his other hand? With the high school diplo matic situation in a state of tension and the library trouble simmering alorig we will have an interesting winter even if we do not get a big snow. i Last fall various gentlemen! and certain newspapers were creatlv disappointed because the railroad strike was avert ed ; it will be interesting to see if they are still anxious for trouble. It is now announced that while no change will occur in the price of thread there will hereafter be less yardage on frained from making known his i the spools; the large amount of thread used at the tront is of course responsible for this.

Some men brag about their wives as if they wanted to sell them. No, Cordelia, it Isn't the proper thing to eat prunes with a pruning knife.

Alfred Capus, editor-in- chief of the Figaro paid in sub- i stance, that no parliament can iu'cessfully carry fin a war; and he points to Gallipoli, Ser bia, Rumania and even to Bel gium and the occupied por liors of France herself in con firmation. The fact, he as-rx-rts, that at critical moments Action had invariably to be submitted fir.4 to the militar5 committee of parliament had caused days' and weeks' de lays, which in each instance had a damning effect. And I.b concludes: Tt us, during the crisis, "veil liberty and let us have a dictator."
