The same crowd that spent their
money for lawyers fees trying to
defeat the incorporation Of Vinita,
are now trying to further en-
barrass the town by childish, OBJ
iections to the electric light and
other franchises The people
who are investing their money in
public enterprises for the town de-
serve better treatment, especially
from those who have been PEN
sioners upon their bounty for
years. The proposition to annul
the electric light and telephone
franchise emanates from the same
busy brain that would act as 60
between and sell congressional
legislation to his neighbors under
the guise of friend. The man
who goes to Washington with a
bribs in his pocket and a lie In
bis mouth is qualified for almost
any game at home or abroad. The
people OF Vinita will see to it that
the city is lighted and that those
who invest their money are pro-
tected.

onions in quarters and put them in sau-

must be renewed every six hours. This
simple process is not at all modern, for
