Solid Comfort”
Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 21.—The
Bailey platform shows a grasp of the
fundamental principles of government
and society that few public documents
of tills or any other age possess. That
it is a re-cast of ideas proved by the
experience of many nations and of all
ages and is not burdened with new
discoveries in political science is very
tr th in its favor. That its author is
recognized as one of the most capable
and courageous American citizen fur-
ther commends it.
But principles are one thing and
performance quite another. The cap-
ital imperfection complained of by
those authorized to criticise the pres-
ent administration is unsound appli-
cation of accent'd principles of tlie
party and of government. A law that
says one thing and does another is a
hypocrit, no matter who suggests it
or why it was suggested. A law that
takes liberty or property from one
class at the instance or expense of
another class is a thief, no matter
about Its antecedents or Its protesta-
tions.
There is nothing in government
quite so destructive as inexperience,
intolerance and greed and the remedy
lies tn ousting from power the office
holders and party organization r<.

From Theo. Dieust, manager tor
the Texas Public Service Company,
The Tribune learns that the company
has plans on foot to enlarge the ca-
pacity of the ice plant and to bring
1 up its iiroduction to the demand
These plans were decided upon two
years ago, but the war interfered by
making it impossible to get additional
machinery. Now. that machinery can
' be had it has been bought and is on
| its way
But, according to Mr Dienst. it is
i impossible to stop the plant from pro-
'•u. lng now on account of the demand
made on the plant As soon as this
slacks up the plant wilt be enlarged,
new machinery will be installed and
the plant made ready for next year's
trade
This will lie good news to the gen
oral puiilie, for we all know that as
soon as the Texas Public Service Com-
pany brings its Ice plant up to the
same satisfactory and efficient stan-
dard now enjoyed by the light plart
Hay t ity will have an ice and light
plant up to the standard of any to tie
found anywhere, entirely satisfactory
in every sense of the word, and far
ahead of the majority of places in the
Bay City class.
The company is merely carrying out
Hay City’s customary way of having
everything the very best that can be
had.
Ami it is that spirit which builds
cities.
