EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
Please permit to occupy a small
space in your paper as it seems to
be the only source left for janitor
to defend himself against the ven
omous nay slanderous pen of the
editor of the Teller, unless a per-
son resorts to an assault. once
pleaded with a man not to take the
latter method; I question if I was
right IN my entreaty;I had not then
been put in his place; perhaps a
dose of physical culture few years
ago might have saved a good many
from his venomous pen. For the
last two annual meeting he has
seemed to take great interest in
how cast my vote; last year, he
denied me the right to vote or at
least it was not modest for teach
ers and janitors to vote;" ne seems
to have love for janitors, especially
for janitors of the court house and
high school. Has he run out of
material on Spooner, Quarles and
Babcock and others that he has
to stoop to attack janitors of the
court house and high schools 'Oh
Lord how long" will it be before
Satan" is bound.
To the patrons of the school I
wish to say I did not oppose the
electric light because Mr.. Pollock
made the motion. I would be glad
to see our school lighted up with
electric lights; my reason for vot-
ing against his motion was known
to Mr.. David Schreiner one who
with others inspected the schools and
knows the conditions. My reasons
are: (D There are four rooms that
need new floors and have been
needed for years.(2) The roof on the
primary needs re-shingling. 81 A
slate blackboard in the northwest
room upstairs. az Provision made
for more closet room. (5) Either OK
tensive repairs Of the furnace or a
new heating plant, as the fire boxes
have been run for % years and at
times crowded to the full extent.
The above needed repairs will foot
up to over a thousand dollars. I
think Its just as necessary to keep
the primary children dry, and to-
take up those old floors from
sanitary view to keep them warm
and to furnish good board to do
their work on. Patrons these are
my reasons for my voting against
the motion. You see / have the
material or the lower interest at
stake. Prof. Slothower has the in
tellectual part, his is the main OBJ
ject in view and yet the lower is
just as necessary as the higher, one
thing they both cost money. will
say there is no one feels more CRATE
| full than myself for needed i'm
provements and take pride In be-
ing the one to suggest a number Of
the improvements.
DIR O'Neil in his lecture here on
1.-THE Seers of Visions said man
simply saw through his eyes what
he had in his head" Pollock had
electric light in his and the lamps
suddenly assumed smoky hue, his
olfactory nerve became cute and
hence a greasy smell. It is only a
few years ago he was fighting the
electric lights and even advocated
going back to the greasy lamps for
street purposes, he had lamps in his
head then. It is said the rich man
shall hardly enter into heaven. I
suppose a free translation might
read bankers instead of rich" if SO
my friend Mr.. Meyer may have to
answer some knotty questions be-
fore ST. Peter let's him in through
the pearly gates. A few years ago
one of our most noted reading clubs
were studing Dante's Inferno. One
of their number in telling me of the
vivid description Of the lower re-
gions, their different compartments
said there was in the seventh or
lower regions compartments of
single stalls reserved for men like
the editor of the Teller I asked
why put him in a place alone, she
said ''you know that Satan's power
is limited and he has no right to
infict poor souls with the presence
i of such soul as his"
