A Rational View,

There is truth in the following
from the Ioakum Daily Times:
THE man who gets the smallest
number Of letters is the one who
complains the most at the manage
ment of the postoffice; the man who
complains most of the hepreacher pays
the preacher the least; the man who
runs down his own town does the
least to build it up; the man who
does not take and complains the
most assiduously of his home paper
does the least 10 make the paper a
success or public benefit. He SAYS
the town Is no good, that it Is dead.
But he is mistaken. He isl CORPSE.
So lay aside your hammer and be-
begin to dig for the town. These
knockers are no earthly Good. Stop
1t quick. We despise a knocker.
Stop knocking"

Col. Tom Yates, who owns q big
farm near Sterrett, spent Saturday
In the city, and said that he had
nearly finished sowing oats. The
colonel said that several years ago
when he was travelling through
Arkansas he one day saw a man
loading his gun and firing rapidly
into the sides of the mountains. He
asked the man what he was doing
and received the reply that he was
sowing wheat, the mountain being
too steep to run plow. The col
onel says the lesson learned from
the Arkansawyer has been worth
something to him during this rainy
season, as he rode horseback
through his field and shot into the
black mud with a shotgun. He say s
one section of his field was too
muddy to ride through, but as there
is tall tree in it he proposes climb
ing this and finish sowing bis oats.

Vanquished Hopes.

TWO ORDINANCES VETOED
Bond Election Ordinance Does
Not Meet with Mayor Pick
ett's Approval.

Yesterday Mayor H. E. Pickett
returned to the city council without
hts approval two ordinances passed
by that body on last Friday night.
The council met in called session at
4:30 yesterday afternoon and passed
both ordinances over the mayors
veto. One of these ordinances re-
lates to the special election called
for April ii at which time the quail
flied voters are to decide whether or
not the city shall issue $24 900 worth
of bonds for the erection of new
school buildings. In passing this
ordinance over Mayor Pickett's veto
the vote stood the same as on Fri
day night.
The second ordinance vetoed by
the mayor relates to the salary
question, which has been engaging
the attention of the council since
the salaries of the mayor and alder.
men were reduced at the January
meeting. The cut In the salaries of
the aldermen was the cause of a
great deai Of dissatis faction and
more than one effort was made to
have the matter reoonsidered. FRI
day night after the special election
had been ordered an ordinance was
submitted which had for its purpose
the raising of the aldermen's salary
back to $3.50 month.

''0UR RAIL
ROAD MEN, y

The performance of ''Our Railroad
Men" given at the Park opera house
last night under the auspices of the
City Union band. was not well attend
ed. 1t should have have had a much
larger house. from the simple fact that
it was given by local people. and for
the benefit of a local organization.
There was no house upstairs and
small one down. Those who did go,
however, went with the expectation
of seeing an amateur performance,
and did not hope to see anything pro-
fessional.
Those taking the parts have had
little time to practice, and there were
several mistakes made. But the audi
enca was liberal and applauded at the
least occasion. 1t seemed to help the
players, and made them feel that they
had the sympathy of their hearers.
To particularize would be unfair to
several of those taking part. so there
will be nothing said of the various
members of the company. II the
Judgment of the majority was given
as to who excelled in their part, there
is little doubt that Roy wadsworth
would be chosen. He had the least to
do of all. but surprised his friends by
the manner in which he carried out
his part. AS william Darrell Dyke
was fairly good, and looked the part
to perfection.
Among the ladies there were but
three, the honors were about even
AS mother in law, Frances Corcoran
was fine. AS country girl Effie
Darneu was cute and won much ap-
plause. Miss Claire Thompson, as
the sweetheart of the conductor was
all right. but she did not look very
much in love with the young man
who was her affianced husband.
Of course the professional men.
Messrs Porter and Reid, were better
than the others in their parts, but
that was to be expected.
The best part of the performance
was when Mr.. Reid came before the
curtain and announced the vote in
the contest for the most popular young
lady in town. Miss Eugena Kelly
had something over twenty six thous-
and, Miss Bessie Mccarthy was within
fifteen hundred of her. and Miss Mel
lie Flynn came in with eighteen
thousand.
There was much cheering when the
decision was announced, and Miss Kelly
was the recipient of many congratula-
tions. She is we'll known Young
lady to most everyone in the city, and
has many friends. Her second is one
of the we'll known telephone girls,
and many were disappointed that she
did not win out, but she made show
ing which any young lady might be
proud of.
Taken on the whole the play was
not SO bad. and as said before many
more should have been there to lend
encouragement and support to an or
of which the city may one
day be proud. The cornet solo by
Chas. Currier was heartily applauded.
