PROTEST. MADE
TO CRITICISM
OF MINISTER
Rev. R A. Morley Writes Letter
to Optic, Explaining His
Position.
Says he Was Not Correctly Quoted in
Various Statements He Made from
Pulpit.
Las Vegas. N. NJ. Feb. 6. '0(

Las Vegas, n. NJ, Feb 6. 'O6.
Editer of The Optic:
Dear Sir: Your criticism In Mondays
Optic on my sermon of Sunday even
ing misquoted and misrepresented ME
] am willing 10 be criticised on what
say. but not on reports OF sen
tences taken from sermon when nc
mention is made of qualifying sen
tences.
For example: never said ''The
courts were grossly remiss In their
duty THAT there was not paper
in Las Vegas that had the courage q
denounce' crime nor "rhat the peo
pie were craven in allowing such
crime to go unpunished."
But the following is exactly wha.
] said as taken from my written man
uscript that lay before me on the pull
pit, and plainly visible to those who
sat near by. was speaking upon
the agencies that destroy the home
and among others ! namea the saloon
and gave instances Of It's destructive
work. When ! spoke of the death Of
Mr.. Davis ] prefaced what had to
say as follows II am comparatively
a new man in this place and for that
reason | hesitate to speak first on this
question. but have been here long
enough to assume the responsibility
oi my position and at the risk OF be-
ing called meddlesome and sensations
al, / feel ii my duty to Cry out against
this outrageous affair, and the more
earnestly because of the seven news
papers said to he published in Las
Vegas, as far as know, not one has
said a word to lament the tragedy or
express regret that It seemed neces-
sary to foster and protest In the com
munity these plans Of iniquity that
breed criminals and are responsible
for murders,
The following Is what ! said about
the responsibility of the public:
But, brethren and. friends, let us
not think that we ourselves are blame
less; for there is not business man
or resident in Las Vegas but
should have raised voice Of protest
against this assault upon society and
we should do 1t until the public con.
science is aroused to proper standards
Of right"
The only reference | made to ths
courts was after speaking Of the Of
fjcer shooting the man down in the
street. said. "the officer ought to
be behind prison bars awaiting the
action OF the courts"
Now. IL this be sensational preach
ing then ! acknowledge the charge Of
being "a sensational preacher" But
I had always supposed that 1t was thu
business and duty Of the preacher
to rebuke wrong doing whenever and
wherever he is called upon to preach
tine gospel, whether he be an old resi-.
dent Of the community or new-com-
er Las Vegas Is nv home, and ]
feel that am identified with its in
terests and bear nv part of the re-
spopsibiltv for its moral and religious
condition and what say is governed

that The Optic IS with me In this pu,>

When Congressman Rroussa'd
was in town last week the Ibclian
called his attention to The report
that an investigation of the Gov
ernments title to the right of way
across the narrow neck of land be
tween the Teche and Grand Lake.
at Clarendon. had resulted in the
retrOcession Of the land to it's 70,
mer owners. That the land had
been enclosed and would be
cultivated.
In reply to this Mr.. Broussard
said that there must be some ms
take about the facts. He thought
that if any such action had been
taken the Department at Wash
ingtOn would surely have notified
him.
He knew that certain parties
had enclosed parts of that right of
way with fences-but the Govern
ment had promptly notified these
parties to remove their fences.
The report had possibly found
its origin in this latter fact an,
has been misunderstood.

GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT
Difficulties Of Constructing New

of Fort LeaveDwOrth, Kas., super
intendcnt Of construction for tie
Missouri Valley Bridge company.
who has the work under his super
vision along with other similar
pieces Of bridging at various places
in the south anu west.
Mr. Stewart says that the sink
ing of the seven pneumatic piers
will cost between 43jO,OdO and
800, 900 while the steel work will
require an expenditure OF at least
$3.50, 900. The work, he says, is
probably the most difficult piece
of construction which, has been at
temped in the United States, Oh
account of the fact that the water
in Berwick bay is about seventy
feet deep, and the caissons have
to be sunk to a depth Of from 81
to 1O5 feet. These caIssOns. he
explained, are constructed of the
stoutcst materials possible, name
" twelve by twelve and three by
twelve timbers, and their walls are
three and a half feet thick. The
tops of them are studded with
twelve by twelve beams, which 60

The caissOns themselves ulti-

with concrete as the last act of the
work of the builders before the up

The sinking of these taissons re-
quires abOu: two and half weeks.
and is done at the rate Of about
two and a half feet day, in good,
soft dirt.
superintendent Stewart gave
the following as a schedule of the
pay Of the mon employed in this
hazardous word: From water level
to fifty feet $3.50 per day for eight
hours work; from 50 to 10 feet
~ for six four hours; from 90 to
100 feet 81 Is for 3 hours. There

said Mr.. Stewart, ''of men work
ing overtime. We won't allow
them to do 1t. They go on their
shift and finish the work and we
will not permit them to do more
than their specified limit.
"At Berwick Bay we have had
no serious cases Of the 'bends,' or
caisson disease. The men come |
out IN a bad condition sometimes,
but We restore them by stimulants,
by rubbing and by the use of OPT |

A great deal has been said about
dealing with home merchants. One
who deals exclusively with home con
Germs is always the winner in the end,
as he runs no risk of being cheated
either in the quality of goods receiv-

holds especially true in the purchase
of tightening rods for the protection
