THE CITY COUNCIL.

The city council met in regular
session Tuesday night, with all
members present except Morrow.
After the transaction of routine
business, the occupation tax ordin-
ance came up for action again, in
asmuch as the one passed before
was imperative because the. enact
ing clause had been omitted. The
ordinance was read the first time,
and strange to say the part relating
70 levying an occupation tax on
newspapers was left out. The or
dinance was passed under q sus-
pension of the rules.

OH, MORALSi
TICK RIDGE, Aug. q, 1905.


EDITOR NRws:-I think your NOR.
al and religious editor goes too far
in criticising the morals OF the
married men of Baxter Springs.
One would think Baxter is not only
the weediest town in the United
States, but the most immoral,
whereas the opposite is the case.
Within the past few years q close
observer can see a wonderful
change in the conduct of our well
known citizens, and think II 10 de-
cidedly wrong to continue to IRE
hot shot at those who are trying to
lead better and purer lives. I will
only mention a few, but please OBJ
serve.
Capt. Price, who was mentioned
in last weeks NEWS, has interested
himself In the Episcopalian church
and has done come mighty good
work on the outside. He has had
the church painted, the grounds
cleared and improved the property
100 per cent.
Capt. Eastman is n regular at
tendant at the Parham. Cheesman
revival meetings and lie partially
under conviction. He has quit the
real estate business and other bad
habits and is really doing his level
best.
Charlie Collins has turned out to
be an honest farmer and cattle dea.
Ter and could not 60 wrong If he
wanted to.
Link Jones is candidate for pro-
bate judge.
Fred Easter is selling out at cost
and will travel for the American
Bible Society.
C. W. Daniels has built private
chapel adjoining his residence and
is trying to lead most exemplary
life. He has almost quit card play.
ing, horse trading and other games
of chance, but occasionally attends
the Sunday base ball.
Walt Golfer is in Jail.
Nearly all our liverymen are do
ing better and trying to square
themselves.
The newspaper men are about the
only ones who have not actually
improved in morals, but they have
90 much to contend with little can
be expectee of them.
It is seldom we find newspaper
man who 10 safe-especially if there
is an occupation tax to pay. News
paper men have been spoiled by re.
ceiving 80 many things free, such
az railroad passes, chow tickets,
fruit, berries, flowers, pumpkins,
etc, that they believe they are safe
for the hereafter without paying
any freight. Not go, however; there
will be day of settlement for all.
Many will be called, but few editors
will be chosen; st. Jon, II 4:22.
In point of moral and correct con-
duct the citizens of Baxter Springs
will compare favorably with any
town in the country, and if our peo-
pie had more enterprise and ener.
gy, and less morals we would have
a bettere town. We need one hun.
dred dwelling houses right now;
they would pay 10 to Is per cent on
the money invested. We have a
golden opportunity to build up the
city, but has there been an effort on
the part of any one to do thisr Both
banks are full of money; our CAPT.
talists don't know what to do with
their surplus, and yet not one will
lift hand to improve the town. As
for me, Mr.. editor, prefer q place
with looser morals and more enter
