A Sun editorial argues for free gas in the city, warning it could attract industry and lower fuel costs. It cites rent increases after gas adoption and urges officials and citizens to push for territorial free gas and inviting capital, with critique of the streetcar contract and Mayor Denny’s stance. The piece links gas policy to urban growth and economic health, urging decisive action.

Wordy modern journalism blamed as festival ends

A terse digest critiques verbose journalism and recent public spectacles. It notes Howells at Boston, Carter divorce in Chicago, and moral panics in St Louis, with satire on press excess, politics, and sensational crime reports across cities. The column mocks inflated prose and partisan reporting while listing varied events and scandals from May.
