Tho People Asking for a Sewer Sys-
tenn.
POMONA, Oct. ia sewer mass meet
ing was held in the opera-house on Fri
day evening, called by the city council.
0. J. Brown was chosen president, and
j. III. Lee acted as secretary.
1t seemed to be the sense OF the meet
ing that we need a sewer system; that
such system in the city of Pomona
would benefit the community as a
whole. To this there was not dissent
ing voice, although it was requested of
the opposition, ''if there be any," to
make itself heard.
j. u. ii. Brown, in speech of some
length, explained how the OUTLYING
districts would be benefited. He said
the object OF the meeting was to bring
the question OF sewerage before the peo-
pie.
j. E. McComas was in favor of having
sewers. The thickly settled portions Of
the city needed them badly. He fa-
vored district consisting of Second
street, then up as far as Hotel evenue.
and down to Eighth or Ninth street;
the city to put in the mains, and indi-
viduals to pay for the connecting pipe.
E. Hicklin was warmly applauded
when he said:
''We don't want an east end or west
end, nor the question of politics mixed
up in this matter, but if the people
work" as whole they will get the
sewers.
Cyrus Burdick made a few brief re-
marks.
]. L. Overton asked if there had not
been survey and estimate made of the
cost of sewage system some three
years ago. He heard some talk of it, and
understood $500 more or had been spent
for that purpose.
Charles French was noticed among
the assemblage, and being fire father
of the present council, he was able t
state there had been plans and specif-
cations drawn up and levels run, and it
would be wise for them to look it up.
j. 7. Brady suggested they vote q
longtime bond for 40 years., with privi-
lege of paving in 80 years. time if
deemed proper.
W. A. Bell, city attorney, explained
as the statutes were now they could not
vote upon 40 year bond, the present
limit being 20 years, but that in the
coming national election in November
the assembly amendment No. 7. which
is to be voted upon, if carried will
change the existing law, making it pos
sible to vote 40 year bond.
j. E. Packard offered resolu-
tions to the effect that the city
trustees obtain data and all ne
cessary information, and present
it to a future mass meeting. This was
adopted with the amendment that
committee of six aid the city trustees in
the work and call another meeting as
soon as possible. The mass meeting ad-
journed, subject to the call OF 1. E.
Packard, j. D. H. Browne, Phil Stein,
Cyrus Burdick, F., Hicklin, and J. 7.

CONCURRING OPINION,

CONCURRING OPINION.
1t is very apparent from the reading
of Section 1197 of the act under consid-
Grafton in connection with the sections
to which it refers that in both spirit and
letter it was intended that only parties
posting three per cent OF the entire vote
cast at the last general election should
have heading upon the ticket. Such
being the fact to my mind, the law is
clearly unconstitutional in this, that it
discriminates in favor of certain parties
and is therefore lacking in that upiformi-
ty of operation demanded by the consti-
tuition of this State.

A historian has 1t that as early as four
centuries before Christ these metal mir
rors were in such common use among
the Romans that any maid servant could
have as many as she could hang at her
girdle, which probably accounts for the
fact that they gradually fell into desue-
tude among ladies of Tie higher classes
and led 20 the introdu rtion Of substi-
tutes. 1t is hardly to be supposed, how
ever, that it was this fact which induced
some ingenious person so to cut and bur
nish the inside of drinking cups as to re-
feet the face of the drinker many times
in highly warning manner.
In addition to the small hand mirrors
which it used to be the particular duty
of some unfortunate yonng slave to hold
before her mistress, there were panels Of
stone set in the walls and so highly pol
ished as TO serve as mirrors. II was this
use of dark stone that first suggested
the use of glass for rejecting purposes,
which according to Pliny, was first man.
ufactured Mt the glass works of gen.
tleman named Sidon. Black glass was
first used; afterward clear glass with
black foil on the back replaced it. Pliny
tells us all about this, and from this time
on no mention is made of glass mirrors
until the Thirteenth century, when a
Franciscan monk, Johannes Peckham,
speaks of mirrors, not only of polished
marble and steel, but also of glass cov-
cred with lead on the back.
BY this time the amalgam used in
making glass mirrors was much like
that of today, the difference being in the
method of its application. The process
was to spread tinfoil on plain surface,
to pour mercury over that and rub the
two together with the hand or with a
hare's foot. The amalgam thus formed
was then covered with paper, over
which glass was laid. The paper was
then withdrawn and weights pressed on
the glass, pressing out the excess of mer
cury.-New York World.

Great Britain's Slaves.

The English people have always had a
great deal to say about their aversion to
slavery, but no worse system ever ex-
listed in the world than that which pre-
walls in some Of the British colonies
where cody labor is employed. The
coolies are indentured in India or China
that is, they are practically sold to the
agent, who sells them again to planters.
For term of years, usually ten, they
become the slaves Of the planters; for
petty offenses they are fined until they
become hopelessly indebted to their
owners; they are not allowed to leave
the plantation without pass, or if they
do they are liable to arrest as runaways.
During the last few years parliamentary
investigations have greatly reduced the
hardships of the unfortunate Hindoos,
most of whom were drawn away from
their native land by misrepresentation
but much still remains to be done, espe-
cially in the mines of South Africa, be-
fore the stigma of slavery can be erased
from the British empire.-St. Louis
obe-Democrat.

Social Definitions.

Nationalism is but another name for
socialism, with but slight modifc1-
ton. What socialism desires to reach
in universal way for the whole world
nationalism desires TO obtain within the
limits of the nation. lnasmuch as there
is tendency in the human race to crys-
tallize around national centers national
ism thinks it best to respect these bound
aries. Ultimately nationalism would
have to reach ont after the universal
end.
Let ii be understood, furthermore, that
neither nationalism nor socialism is iden-
tical with anarchism or communism
that, quite to the contrary, they form
the opposite pole to anarchism. While
anarchism is a theory of government
which will allow no power whatsoever
to any governing body, socialism or ma
tionalism will endow the government
with greater powers yet than its own.
While the former believes that the indi-
vidual shall take upon himself all the
consequences which spring from compe-
tition, and that according to his oppor-
tunities a man shall either succumb in
the struggle for existence or survive as
the fittest, the latter holds society or
the nation responsible for the we'll be-
ing of every one of its members as long
a. the member fulfills his obligation to
society.-Rabbi Solomon SCHNEIDER.

Didn't Know It's Value.

A few days ago met man from Bal

he: "rm very fond of horseback riding,

Tho I'a.heriess and the widow.

The car stopped with the usual lurch,
and the conductor assisted to the plG e..
form tall lady, evidently young, but
whose face was hidden by the heavy
folds Of long Grape veil. Her gown
and gloves were of the same somber hue
as the veil. She was followed by little
girl, also dressed in black. AS the car
started on its way down town the lady
and the little girl took seats in the cor
ner. Neither spoke for some time, and
then the little girl looked up, and in n
voice that was heard above the rattle Of
the car exclaimed:

"Hush, dearest" and black gloved
hand reached over and took one of the
tiny hands of the child. Then there was
silence for minute. Suddenly the child
ish voice was heard again:
"But l do want to see papa. Why
won't you let me see him?"
Don't. darling; please don't" came
the answer, as the head of the little girl
was tenderly drawn over until it rested
against the folds of the Grape veil.
"But why won't you let me see papa"
persisted the child.
There was no answer, but the shroud-
ed head of the black figure in the corner
was bent low and the black gloved hand
was reaching for something evidently
hidden in the folds of the black gown.

Almost fiercely the little figure was

know that papa lies way off there on the
Litchfield hills! You can't seem him

A witty and miserly gentleman who
accepted many invitations without re-

greatly to the general entertainment by
his bright conversation, once defended
himself by saying:

although he neglected another.
This social duty of giving in CONVEX

cheerful when it is not possible to be

to remember that often, unknown to us,
they are in need of being made to forget
some trouble or grief, or are in need of
some fresh, cheering thought, and when
we give them our conversational best

need.

A Sad Memory.

Chance In Religion.

Perhaps it may seem only by forced
analogy that the gamblers infatuation
can be compared to the superstitious
awe of primitive religion, but one needs
not to go back long way in our own
history to realize that they can be traced
to common source. In 1919 Thomas
Gataker, n Puritan minister, published
his essay on "The Nature and Use of
Lots" in which, while arguing against
it, he states the common belief to be as
follows:
"Lots may not be used but with great
reverence, because the disposition of
them cometh Immediately from God
The nature of lot, which is affirmed to
bee worke of Gods special and imme-
diate providence, sacred oracle, di-
vine judgment or sentence; the light use
Of it therefore to be an abuse of Gods
name, and SO slime against the third
commandment"
How deeply rooted in mans mind the
belief in divine interposition in such
matters has been from early times is
shown by the recourse having been had
to lots in the first Inomentous act per-
formed by the primitive Christian
church-namely, the election of an apos-
tie. Human direction was relied on
so far as to reduce the number of candi-
dates to two, the qualifications of whom
were so evenly balanced that the de-
cision between them was left to pure
chance, to control which, as was be-
lieved, supernatural interference might
be looked for.-Blackwood's Magazine.
