out the ignominy of his double of-

drawn from his act is that it does
not pay to pamper criminals. They
are sent to institutions for punish-
ment because they have broken the
laws of the Commonwealth, and pun-

WILL REDUCE RATES
EFFECTIVE JUNE 15.
The West Penn Power company
will put into effect a new schedule of
rates on June 15th which will re-
duce the cost of electric service to
both the domestic and commercial
consumers. In fact the rates will be
enough lower to make quite an
item to the consumer in a year's
time, whether it be for domestic or
commercial purposes. This reduction
on the part of the West Penn Pow-
er company will doubtless be more
appreciated by the consumers when
they realize that it will come as a

voluntary action and not
coercion of any kind.
