QUICK WIT.

Cicero WAS Il Gruff Old Skate, who
gave the People Of Rome some of the
Greatest Con Talks outside of Il Side
show. He used to do the Heavy Sen
timcnt in writing the Platforms at the
Conventions and when it came to After
not in the Same Consignment at all.
When he RuttOned on his Toga and
Danced ont into the Middle of the Ring
along in the Second Round of Il Hot

%l;loquence ut the Opposing Side. it vas
generally all up with the Enemy. When

was always ut the Other Table.
One time when the Woman'S Rights
Movement began to SiZzlc a Little in
the Roman Suburbs. Il Delegation call
cd on Cicero ut his Home. The Great
Orator had been Relaxing a little the
Night Before and Il Slave was cracking
Ice and binding it IN his A-labaster
Forehead. The Chairman Of the Dele
CATION was the owner of Three Brew
cries in the Fourteenth and was a Man
of Standing in the Ward Councils Of
the Roman Capital. lie told Cicero
there was a biz Demonstration down ut
Battery ID and Il Lot of Susan b. An
thOnics were out for Blood. 1t was on
the Eve Of Election and the Thing look
ell Ticklisll. lie wanted Cicero to get
~, and go down to the Meeting and
Make a little Con Talk to the Boys.
:You'vc got Il Great Head. Cicero,
and we Need your Help" said the
Chairman.
Which Tatfy about the Great Head
was Twitting on Fact. for Cicero had
been the Greater Part of Two Days
Getting it and when he got Il Head it
was usually a Peach.
Cicero got up and went down to the
Meeting. When lie got inside a Tall

Cicero Smiled and walked upon the
Platform with the Chief of Police and
three Aldermen from the Fourteenth.
IF this Meeting and the Woman here

Time Rome has been Saved by the
Cackling of Geese he said.
1t made a Great Hit and Cicero could

to Offer. The Bon Mot was in all the
Papers the Next Day and the Election

Attend the Convention.

+ Followers of jefferson and Jackson
will please note the call for the Demo-
cratic county convention In this issue.
Attend the primaries and let every pre-
cinct have full delegation at the con-
vention.
The custom of neglecting to hold
primaries and send delegates to con-
vention and afterwards kick because
the work of the convention did not suit
this or that one is of long standing but
1t is not commendable one.
The best course to pursue would be 10
come TO the convention and talk out in
"meetin'n. Those who don't make
their talk before or at the convention
have no right to shoot off, their
mouths afterward. Come whether you
are delegate or not and make your
wishes known.

The West Hoodwinked.

Throughout the entire West the plan
of constructing reservoirs to be under
national control in which to store flood
water for irrigation, IS universally ap-
proved, says the Los Angeles Times.
No more necessitous nor beneficial work
can employ the attention of the Cali
fornia delegation in Congress than a
comprehensive plan of irrigation for the
State, and for that matter, the entire
western area. The annual appropria-
tions by Congress for the improvement
of rivers and harbors in the East and
the Pacific coast are not more strictly
within the scope and province of Con-
gress nor more far-reaching and certain
in their beneficial results than would be
appropriated for national storage reser-
yoirs for the impounding of torrential
flood waters in the Sierra Nevada and
Rocky Mountains.

BRIGHTwooD RAILWAY TRACKS
The District Commissioners Reply to
Louis p. Shoemaker

The District Commissioner Reply to
Louis r. Shoemaker.
Louis P. Shoemaker wrote to the Dis
trict Commissioners several weeks ag) re-
garding the location of the tracks of the
Brightwood Railway Company in Bright
wood Avenue, raising a question affecting
the authority of the Commissioners TO es-
tablish the location of the tracks The
Commissioners yesterday replied to Mr.
Shoemaker, informing him that the loea-
tion adopted by them was one believed TO
be for the best interest of the pubic, and
they also expressed the opinion that when
the road has been reconstructed the loca-
ton of tracks agreed upon will be recog-
nized by all fair minded persons as the
most advantageous. Mr.. Shoemaker has
been notified that when permanent COM
struction was adopted by the road to last
great many years it was not deemed ad-
yisable to give the tracks a location which
might be suitable for the first few years
and unsuitable for a great number of years
afterward The Commissioners do not be-
lieve that the location of tracks agreed
upon will interfere with traffic on the road
way, and decided that due allowance must
be made for the inconvenience necessarily
caused by the work of reconstruction. At
tention viii also be paid to this work TO see
that the roadway is not obstructed any
more than is absolutely necessary
