Irwin, maniger of the Xenia branch o f the Ohio fuel Gas Company appeared before council Tuesday even N r to further explain the service chary© the company yftm ashing: of each consumer of gas here. Some months ago the company ask- v for a not charge of 95 cents for.the first thousand feet o f gse used. When the word spread about consumers be gan a loud protest against tiie in crease Council allowed the matter to. drift without taking any notion as the .proposed ordinance had been tab led for further investigation. Headquarters o f the company made no other request of council and noth ing was done until last week when the gas company without notice to the consumers cut the gas pressure for the village down to three ounces and one day as low as two ounces. The consumers began to get busy,' The coof mornings required gas. Some of the same persons that objected to paying the increase last Julywere the loudest in condemning council and the company for the situation last week. At the Tuesday evening meeting of council Mr. Irwin was asked if by the passage of the"ordinance would we be guaranteed sufficient gas. He re plied that We would. Council then passed the Ordinance. Mr. Irwin stat ed that Xenia would pass the sam'edrr .(finance at- the next regular meeting. The company bad all the best-- of the,situation. It has no franchise from the village and never had but one that expired several years ago, The next grant.was from the Ohio itablic Utility Commission and it is under this that the Company operates. -The matter of rales when council and^the company cannot agree js fixed by the commission So after all, council has little or no say-. As we understand it the old-law —that gave council power to handle rate questions locally was changed Under Governor' Cox's administration. The Governor then as now, owned a halfmillion interest in gas companies, The thing that concerned the public ■ -most at this time was a sufficient u- movmt o f gas. The Company had the gas. for sale and we must meet the price asked, ' .. -and'Oshom, both towns that will not have gas after October 31st, are going to .petition the Ohio Fuel Gas Co,- to lay a line and supply their towns. Both towns have always paidmore for their gas than Cedarville wifi pay under the rate just granted. Council endeavored to get a.,contract for more than one. year but the gas company would not consider it.

THE UNDERTAKER OFFICIATED The following verse ih an Indiana newspaper ably expresses several ex cellent reasons why .traffi con public highways should drive sensibly.

It takes long mental medicine to plant religious belief in a yonngmind beyond all possibility of uprooting. A man, known all over the country, said at the recent Lloyd George luncheon in New York: “Only tho Catholic ‘ Church stdnds between property and red radical" confiscation. The Protost- tant church lost its power whenit. stopped teaching tl/at there is ah actual blazing hell. Men need to he freightened.” The gentleman ‘ is a good Protes tant and goes through all the usual motions, but ho is discouraged. If it's true that fear of hell fire alone will keep men honest, that's sad. But is it so? The American Federation of Labor, which is non-sectarian comes out strongly and officially against Communism, confiscation o f property and other extreme radicalism. High wages enable men to acquire prop erty Andwhen a man owns something he nt once objects to any plan for di viding evenly Capital will learn, per haps, that its safety lies in making the little man a little property Owner. A house paid for and a savings ac count wilt inspire more conservation than any fear of hell. - H i - ‘Harvard will teach freshmen tp think." Perhaps it can be done. But it recalls the old saying about leading a horse to water. ‘‘I write not that you may read, but that you may think.” Monteequieu put that in his “Spirit of Laws” long ago. Socrates showed whei’a true thinking begins when he said he sup posed he was called the wisest of tho Greeks because he knew that he knew nothing. ■Hli — Thinking cannot be taught exactly. But it can be stimulated. Wheii the apple fell, that started important thought in Newton. When Columbus made tho egg stand up, that probably made the spectators think for a feW seconds. . But how can y6Uteach or provoke PROLONGED concentrated thinking,?
