 There has been considerable: discus sion, and well desersed, abent the question of making hog Wallows- of ou& canals. On the heels of this comes tLe announcement that certain pe1Sons ale going tu boycott tue towns If d. fight Is made against the nel2rious pGactlce ot polluting city water. III case Of a move toward boycott, summary acton shoald be taken by the towns people. A recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States has declared boycott to be contrary to law, i'll that 1t restricts trade and anyone participating i'll such things as being panlshable by fine or imprisonment. When su&h a thdng is done to subvert the action, of law and, render abortive the ends of justice to the masses, 1t IS time something of Il positive nature was done by the citizens o6 the affected districts. TlA1se who take part in such things are mot livlng up to their obligations of Amer5ean Citizenship and theis nasty departure would leave room for hon0Gable, law abiding citizens to come in. We trust these reports, however, are merely con iunCtures and absolutely &nfoulEled OF the least semblanee of trHth. Are You Engaged?
