A Mass Meeting ArraignS the
City Administration for
its fragrant
DISREGARD OF PLEDGES,
And Appoints a Committee OF Fifteen
To Take Whatever Steps May
BE Necessary TO Close
the Joints.

The threatened storm prevented a
large attendance upon the temperance
mass meeting called at the Opera
House Sunday night, bot the audience
made up in earnestness what 1t lacked
in numbers. Brief addresses were
made by Revs. Bruner and Shuey,
but the most significant speech was
made by Rev. Fraser, The REGISTER
is indebted to Miss Bula Reimert for
a short hand report of the speech
from which we quote as follows:
"In the first place | want to ask if
the Mayor of the city Is present. If
the Mayor of the city isn't present 1t
Is not my fault. l went to him and
asked him to be present at this meet
ing 80 that in reference to the city
government he would know just
exactly what is said.
We ministers have been twitted a
good deal on account of the part we
took in last springs election, and |
am glad Of a chance to state exactly
what our position was and the reasons
that influenced us.
"At rhe election held upon the re-
organization of the city into a city of
the second class, the issue was the
gas question. We met and discussed
matters and decided that we would
take no eide on the gas question, but
would work for the men who we
thought would enforce the liquor law.
After the election there was an i'm
provement for two or three months,
From January to April but very little
liquor was sold in lola. When the
election came on in the spring we
discussed matters again and we con-
cluded we had pretty good admins
tratlon and that we ought to stand by
1t. We called n temperance meeting
to discuss all the candidates and In
vited every body to 1t. / didn't say

Let the High School Begin

The REGISTER believes that the
Board of Education would do well to
reconsider the decision they seem to
have reached to defer the opening of
the city schools, in all grades, until
the new building is ready.
It il understood that the contract
calls for the completion of the build
ing by October l. The REGISTER
finds 1t to be the opinion, however,
of at least some of the mechanics en-
gagged on the work, that the building
cannot possibly be ready sooner than
October Is, The REGISTERS archi
tect ventures the prediction that No
vember LIST will be nearer the date of
completion.
But even II the house is ready on
time, the delay in beginning school
would carry the term up to June.
And while this would not be espe-
cially detrimental to the lower
grades, 1t would certainly interfere
seriously with the work of the High
School, many of the students of which
are young men from the country who
could not be spared from the farm so
late in the spring. Indeed 1t is like
ly chat some who would prefer to
ONE to lola may feel compelled to
go to another school where they will
be able to complete the term before
the spring is 30 far advanced.
1t would seem as If the High
School. at least, might start at the
usual time with advantage to all con-
cerned, and the REGISTER respect
fully makes this suggestion to the
Beard of Education.
