The morning paper is always behind
the times, but we are surprised that it
persisted in keeping behind. Yester-
days paper was dated Wednesday and
today's paper is dated Thursday. We
hope since the morning paper stands
convicted of this mistake it will not con-
tend that the calendar is wrong and it
is right. Get up to date, neighbor.

Marshal Taylor has received an
anonymous letter from some person
who claims that he is an intelligent,
honorable and observing taxpayer of
the city. He may be all these COM
bined but the fact that he does not
sign his name to letter which makes
direct charges against the marshal
shows that the writer is a coward.
letters are never written by
brave men-anarchists employ these
tactics, and sneaks use them, but full !
grown men possessing the full powers of |
reason, men whose livers don't show a |
trace of white, such men never write |
anonymous communications. We have
absolutely no time for persons who do |
it. We have seen happy homes broken |
up by it, we have seen society demoral- !
zed and the sneak who does the writ |
ing hides beneath the mask and thinks |
he has done great service for society. |
shame on the man who makes charges
ne is afraid to face! He is not worthy
'f consideration, and he represents
'lass of citizens who are a detrment to
he community. Cowards are of no
lccount any place this side of hades.
