All good citizens are very tired
Of personal politics.
Judge Noonan will have but
very few favOrs to distribute dur
ing his first term.
The woods will be full of candi--
dates for recorder, but Shardein
will be hard to catch.
The LIGHT recognizes courtesies
to the paper, not to individuals.
Managers, editors and reporters
may pass away, and still the LIGHT
will continue to shine.
"Reform" won during the election

Three little anarchists frightened
the "Reform committee" and the
Big Six smiled, how nicely they
worked the scheme.
Ifyou must fight the devil with
fire, the next Reform campaign
should start with a shotgun bri.

The color OF the skin does not

The Noonan Campaign commit
tee say they spent only $l,536; Of
this amount the LIGHT Office re-
ceived $l23.50 for job printing, and
advertising, which was done in
competition with other printing

The LIGHT did about $500 worth
Of free ticket printing which was
distributed throughout the 81
counties, and at least $1,000 worth
of advertising towards the election
of Judge Noonan, and OF the ST. ,536
spent by the Campaign committee
it received for one little job, done
in competition with other printing
offices, the sum Of $l0l.50; less than
was paid for a secretary.
| The Makemson barbecue fizzle
at the San Pedro Springs, cost more
money than was paid the LIGHT
by the campaign committee dur
ing the entire campaign. This cele-
brated barbecue lost to Judge Noon
an several hundred votes.
The criticism of the "Isle OF
Champagne" in the Express this
m orning, reads very much like one
of the tlattering advance notices
furnished by Treasurer George
Kaighn. The critic should sharpen

Under the various conditions and

Houston. And the LIGHT is proud
OF the fact it was respons-

to the front, and per-
