structiou, and six months nuisance.
1t may be that the officials do not know
yet Just where this nulsance is that has
disgraced the city for half year
If the Health Officer or Street Com
missioner will START from the County Re
corder's office, ON the east side thereof,
and move south about 35 degrees west
he will find after proceeding about 100
feet, crtain odors that came not from
"Araby, the Blest," or any other place
fit for a mortal to live in, and these
odors have been poisoning the air and
endangering human life for many
months, and no steps have been taken
to remove the source of them.
What is the use of having such officers
unless they attend to their business.
Private individuals would discharge en-
ployes that week after week neglected
their duiT, Why does not the city do
the same?
Then the disgusting condition of the
north side of Spring street between Tenn
pie and First streets ought to shame any
official of the city that draws a salary.
The gutter is the viles5 in the city. Dry
sewers that ought to have been filed |
eight years ago are sending out sicken-
ing and deadly odors. The grade Is in
famous and is so made as to cause pools |
of rottenness to form, because there is
not the proper fall to the grade.
There is plenty of fall between Tenn
pie and First street for the clearing of
the gutter. Why is it not utilized! The |
officials draw their salary regularly. |
Does that exhaust their strength so that |
they cannot see that gutter is cleaned
and dry sewers are not closed?
The new Mayor, as soon as he takes |
his office, will have his attention called
to it by the tax.paye of the city in
most earnest tones.

agingly large considering the excellent

Recitation. Landing of the Pilgrims" !"

Qlartette, Mesdames Dr. Clarke, F. D.
Tanning; Messrs. n. Liube. +. B. Tanning.
Pianist, Prof. A. J. Stanim.
The recitation by Miss Ada Baxter
was worthy of especial mention.
Judge Cheuey delivered an eloquent
Grafton on the Pilgrim Fathers. He
drew glowing picture of the bravery,
perseverance aud moral rectitude of the
Fathers when they planted their homes
on the barren coast OF New England.
His allusion to the old New England
homes was touching and pathetic. He
drew parallel of the motives that in.
duced the Pilgrims to brave the terrors
of their voyage to the new world, and
that which carried the Argo-
nauts to California in lS49.
The former were seeking religious liberty
and the latter we're seeking only
wealth. The result had been the foun-
dation of q stable society and govern.
ment in the case of the Pilgrims, which
was almost entirely wanting among the
Calforna gold seekers. The Judge de
plored the fact that even to day there
were no homes in California that resem-
bled the old New England homes. The
speaker had long lived in California and
loved the State of his adoption, yet he
could not help but speak the truth as he
saw it in the deplorable condition of
society in the State to-day. He saw a
brighter side, however, in the influx of
Eastern people with the love of home
strongly implanted in their hearts, who
were establishing themselves in this
paradise of the world for the purpose of
rearing pleasant and steadfast under far
more favorable circumstances than those
which surrounded their pilgrim ances-
tors. The affair was very pleasant one
throughout, and an exponent OF the
memory in which the Pilgrim fathers of
1920 will always be held.

Fort LEAVENwoRTH. Kas.. Dee. -.
The general court martial which re-
Gently convened at Fort Lowell for the
trial Of Lieut.. d. \. Mcdonald, has ac-
quilted the officer OF the charges pre-
ierred against him, which were drunken
ness ON duty, specifying that while in
command Of troops against hostile In
dams he was so drunk as to be utterly
unfit to command his troops and %necessi-
tated his being placed under arrest by
Lieut.. Wilder. In reviewing the case,
Gen. Howard says: In the case of First
Lieut.. ID. n. Mcdonald, Fourth cavalry.
it is plain from the evidence that the ac-
cused was. at the time charged, consider
ably under the influence of liquor, and
that his misunderstanding of orders was
undoubtedly due to this fact. The court
must, however. have come to its conclu-
sions because the degree of inebriation
did not, in its judgment, amount to drunk
enness. Giving this benefit to the ac-
cuscd and rejoicing in his previous excel
lent military record, the reviewing officer
concurs with the court. He INDUCES in
the hope that the lesson of this trial may
be the means Of stopping forever the in
cxcusable habit which has come SO near
being fatal to his standing as an officer.

submitted in the senate to day by Sena-
tors Henderson and Gibson and in the
house by Representatives Bragg, Laird
and Niele, Of the board of visitors to the
academy at West Point. shows that there
were at the time of the visit, seventy
three vacancies in the academy. 1t is
recommended that the president be au-
thorized to appoint ten cadets at large
each year instead of once in four wears as
al present. The course of study in gem
eral Is approved.
The buildings OF the academy are con-
demned as unsatisfactory for the uses to
which they are put, and suggest a number
Of improvements.
The board expresses the opinion that
injustice is done both cadets and army of
ficers by frequent changes of officers as
signed to duty az professors at the acade-
my. In concluding their report the board
says: The board of visitors, finding much
to approve and little to criticize in the
present administration of the academy,
commend the institution to the continued
fostering care OF congress. believing that
Its expenses are small as compared with
Its results and that the country receives
back many times Its csst in valuable
services OF a body of men distinguished
for intellectual ability, strong conserva
tlsm and keen sense Of honor, and an I'M
Improbable personal integrity.
