To the LIGHT:
Mr.. Faust, who seems to have

that j. C. Cumberland had sold his
lot,-and Mr.. Faust demanded to
have his name stricken from the
lists. | informed him / had no
authority to do such an act; Mr..
Frasch's rolls bore Mr.. Cumber-
lands name and the lists were a
copy of his rolls as approved by
the city council. Now, if Mr..
Frasch has made an error in
Mr.. Cumberland's case there
is no telling how many
errors he has made; in fact, Mr..
Appler, who compiled the city di-
rectory, asserts that he, Frasch,
has made hundreds of errors in the
spelling of names, and if this is so,
many voters may not be able to
recognize their names on the lists.
but in case any voter who is tax
payer finds his name omitted or
misspelled, let him apply to Frasch
for correction.
My attention has been called to

claim to be taxpayers in 1924, yet

Be Fair and Come Out!

The opposition for sewers is not
nearly as fair and open as are
those in favor of sewers.
The pro-sewerites on Saturday
night were denied their request to
address the meeting at Convention
hall. Mayor Paschal wanted to de-
liver a speech, but was refused.
They had understood their side
would be heard, and that is the
reason they hurried through their
Zavalla street meeting.
The pro-sewerites have a stand
ing invitation to the opposition to
speak at all meetings they have
gotten up and it looks only fair
that they should expect a ret turn of
the courtesy.

His distance from the earth will then be about iO,5OO, GOO miles, or about 5,000,0 900 miles greater than it was at the opposition of l892. His declination, however, is B degrees further north, SD that for northern ob- servers the planet is in very much bet ter rpsition than in 1892. Professor Pickering has already reportJd in- terestinS observations of the surface markings of the planet, made at the new Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff.

September 15 he will turn the loop in his apparent course and begin retro grade (westward) motion, remaining in Aries and the corner of Pisces dur ing the two months.

The reason for the existence of the Order of Good Tcmplars and all other organizations of q similar nature, may be traced to the prevalence of this evil throughout our land, and the general indifference with which it is regarded. And the aim and purpose of such or Sanizations arc, to unite temperance sentiment upon lines of reform which such abuses neccssitate. There is cause for encouragement, however, to all who labor in the interests of such reforms, in the important decision of Mgr. SatOlli given recently, which has been so widely copied by the press and which has caused such a stir among those directly affected, throughout the length and breadth of our land as also in the receut action of the Su- preme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, rendering saloOn-keepers, bar-tenders and professional gamblers ineligible to membership in that order.

A deep significance attaches to these movements; in each instance all busi- ness of this nature and those who en- gage in such callings, being arraigned in no uncertain manner. For they are an indication as well as an outgrowth, of the feeling inherent in all healthy and well regulated minds, that to en- gage in such pursuits tends in itself and of necessity, to blunt and deaden the fine scnsibilities of the man, and to render him indifferent alike to teach ings of church and principles of fra ternity. And these events are unmis- takable evidences of latent moral encr- gies beneath the surface of our social life, and which, please God, may soon manifest themselves in all their strength, and emancipate our nation from the thraldom Uf vice into which we have fallen.
