The City Solicitor was asked II he
had anything more to say, and replied:
"All care to say has been said in
my report. The fact remains that this
is complete electric light franchise
with trailer in that it calls for struc-
lures and appliances for the use OF
compressed air. Still it is complete
electric light franchise. We are not
informed as to what the structures are.
That is left to the Board of Public
Works. As to motor carriages, We
have no right to intesfere with them,
unless where let for hire, when they
must pay license"
Mr. Bradbury moved to limit the
term, and after some discussion and
second by Mr.. Schmidt, the period
was made thirty years.
The whole matter was then referred
to the City Engineer and Solicitor fol

mere excuse of keeping cigar
cite lit for a boy friend It's in
teresting. Mexico Youngsters, read
it:
John +. Reed Of this place has
a cure for the cigarette habit,
which, if not exactly original, yet
has the merit Of being effective.
He has il son Buford who is not
yet old enough to work out poll
tax and vote cr-straight, and who
had been forbidden to indulge in
popular American privilege of
driving tacks in your own coffin
cigarette smoking, in other words
Well, John +, he caught Bufe
the other day keeping cigarette
lit for boy friend, so invited him
into the privacy of the odd Fellow
Lodge ante room, and proceeded
to apply his cure, which was sim
ply faith treatment-the laying
on of hands, Just like his moth
er used to do " Did it fix him

did! Why, that hoy has lost all

PERSONAL PROPERTY.
Trust Your Government.

Here are some pretty good ideas
for us newspaper publishers to dl-
gest. The following is from APP
peal to Reason:
The food Of papers that come to
this Office makes a pretty study.
Just now they seem to be WrcSt-
ling with the advance in paper.
That hits their pockets and they
Squirm. Those that have ready
prints or ready patent sides, have
been notified by the rcady-print
houses of an advance of - per
cent in the prices, Instead Of de-
mandng that their government
protect them from this cXtOrtiOn
by establishing paper mills and sell
ing paper at cost, they advocate
quitting the houses! Yet the
ready-print houses are not at
fault. They have to buy paper
and pay more. for it, Paper can
be made and is cheaper today than
it ever was, but it is in the hands
of corporation which can sell it
at any price the necessities Of the
public can be forced to pay.
suppose when the trusts get all the
food that the thing to do will be
to quit eating. Why will pub
/ fishers submit to eXtortiom when
they have the political influence
to clip the claws Of the trusts by
having the goveromcnt go into the
business? If they will not do this
/ they deserve all the squeezing that
the trusts can give them. In the
last Is months, paper has risen
from $43O per car to $12O. The
Appeal uses Il ear every five weeks
1t is willing to buy its papers
from Uncle Sam, and let the pro
fit, if any, go into the public treas
ury. Are YOU afraid to trust youl
government! Do You prefer tn,
mercy Of trust to your own GOV

not homes where pcnury rcigns,

The farm hands salary is no high

Now we ask, what will bring
better times! Not until a condl-
tion is brought about which shall
better recognize the dignity of
labor. The rich receive all the
homage today. There is Il saying,
He that cXaltcth himself shall be
brought low. The recognition of
this principle would tend to better
things in government. Good times
will never come until the bows and
