FOLLOW THE LAW.

Formerly the contract for the disposal Of garbage
| was made by the Board of Health under specific au-
thority derived from the Municipal Assembly. The
authority conveyed in the last ordinance, which pro
vided for the existing contract was contained in
bin which, in its original forn emanated from the
former Health Department.
An amendment to the Charter brings the disposal
Of garbage under the classification of public work
and transfers the duty of entering into a new con-
tract or constructing municipal plant from the
Board of Health to the Board of Public Improve
ments While the Health Department the SAM
tary branch of the city government will probably
have supervision, at least indirectly, over the removal
and proper disposal Of garbage it has legal au-
thority to arrange for the disposal of garbage.
AS now organized this Health Department would
likely be qualified to solve the garbage problem to
the satisfaction Of the citizens However, it is not
question Of qualification, but Of law. The law in
trusts the duty to the Board of Public improvements
and this board should not be impeded in performing
Its obligations.
Thus far the present Health Commissioner has
displayed energy in the work attached to his Office.
He has already established various changes for the
better, and begins with the evident desire to make
excellent record as manager of the Health De-
partment It should be- and probably is, relief to
him to be rid Of the garbage problem Yet the Board
Of Public improvements may find it necessary to get
his advice as plans developed.
The distinction existing is not fictitious. 1t is not
between ofhcials departments but is distinction
Of the law which If not needed might result in COM
plications and, with the best intentions among Of
fcals, produce detrimental consequences. The
sponsibtty for solution Of the garbage problem rests
with the Board Of Public Improvements and the Mu-
nicpal Assembly, and 1t should be confined to these.
bodies. That the Health Commissioner or the Health
Department or the Board of Health is only advisory
is not reflection either; 1t is condition of law
in the interest of practical business
Adjustment of street lighting difficulties was de-
layed will be recalled by strife between the Board
Of Public Improvements and one or the other branch
Of the Municipal Assembly There were, not many
years ago, rumbngs Of impending strife between the
Board Of Public Improvements and the Health De-
partment over the garbage problem. In order TO
avert controversy, even technical grounds
through honest yet anagonistic opinions 1t bet
ter to follow the law literally and allow the Board Of
Public Improvements and the Municipal Assembly
full authority and direct responsibility.

reached Cape Girardeau few were ready to come
back home having stated their appetite for travel
They deserted working their way back as roustabours
steamboat. Others were secured to take their
places But for and another the assertions
continued as the construction train moved down from
Cape Girardeau. The train crew would call to the ne
groes, demanding to know what they meant by sip
ping or the train and moving off Sometimes the
train would back up to overtake them, in which case
they literally took to the woods. When the front"
was reached just one negro remained. Asked to ac-
count for the conduct Of his confreres he replie:

who died just four years ago with that

desire, he himself thinking the change
would benefit him, we knew medical aid
was OF little consequence to him. His life
was short, sad one, being sufferer for
four long years. Amid his tolls of life he
tried bravely TO DO his best.
His tolls were great on this cold earth.
with no pleasure, joys, or mirth.
On, rest your head on Jesus breast.
And rest, sweetly rest.
have one hope that cheers my breast.
mat our dear brother has gone 70 rest;
for while his dear lips could move
He prayed to God for rest, perfect rest.
with friends on earth we meet i'm gladness.
Yet ever comes the thought of sadness,
That we must say goodbye.
No parting words shall ever be spokep
In yonder home so fair
But songs of joy and peace and gladness
we sing for ever sweetly there.
