paragraph II here quoted. and IN,
Review readers will readily see il,

other evidences of indebtedness, eNcept
upon special assessment funds, IA excess

Elldlng the clause except upon
special assessment funds, il will

looks colorless. When a prism is
used, however, all its component
parts are revealed, each color stand
ing out in bold relief, with the line
of demarkation sharply drawn be-
tween it and all the other colors.
To its opposers the charter of ST
Johns presents itself as a black OBJ
ject. Black is not properly color
1t is the absorbent Of all colors, and,
ordinarily, is not pleasing to the
eve. 1t is too somber in appear
ancc.
Green and rcd and blue are indis-
tingushable to the person who is
color-blind. They all look black to
him. This is his misfortune, but
when he tries to convince all others
that blue, green and red are black,
then it is his fault, and the person
to whom he is talking must be color
blind also if he cannot distinguish
the difference.
Isn't ii better to put the charter
OF St. Johns under the prism of
truth and thus, by the laws of re-
fraction, bring out all its beauties,
than to pronounce it black and then
condemn it wholly as worthless ?
This surely is the better way, be
cause it is the right way, which all
fair-mindcd men must admit.
II one owned a valuable orchard,
with here and there a worthless
tree, he surely would not destroy
the whole orchard to get rid of a
few worthless trees which he could
dig up and remove in half an hour !
Should he pursue such a course as
this, he would be suspected, and
justly OF non compos mentis.
Let us not condemn the whole
charter on account of few defects,
but. rather, like sensible men, go TO
work and eliminate all OF the objcc-
iionable features, and try, by an
earnest effort, to secure a perfect
'hartcr.
