Very Dangerous Sidewalk

Lee street is one of the best
streets in the city. 1t is very de-
sirable street to reside on because
of its nearness to the central part
of the city. 1t is convenient from
a number of viewpoints and there
are nice, comfortable residences on
the street, some of them very hand
some ones. Property owners on
that street take much pride in their
property. They are good taxpayers
and help literally to keep up the
city government.
These are conditions which ought
to appeal to the city sages for \
fatherly interest in the street and
those who reside on it. There ought
to be a kindly feeling at least tow
ard these people, sufficiently paren-
tai to not forget them altogether
and certainly not to neglect them.
as they have been doing of late.
Indeed. the city fathers have be-
come so careless. forgetful and in
different, If we may be allowed to
use such expressions, without charg-
ing them up with official dereliction
as to incur the risk of many of
these residents sustaining injuries
that would result in heavy damage
suits against the city, such as that
against the county, when it neglect
ed to keep in repair the approach
TO the West Fork bridge
In short, the Lee street sidewalks
are alarmingly dangerous and men
and women and children who have
to use them are in danger of break
ing their limbs every time they
leave or return home. The street
superintendent ought to repair these
walks at once. The street commit
tee should insist on their repair and
the city council should call special
session to order them repaired, at
least not put it off day longer than
their next meeting.
Get busy at once repairing these
boardwalks. as we'll others where
repair Is so badly needed. and no
longer subject the citizens to the
risk of serious injury.
An appealing feature to the need
of repair on Lee street is the fact
that it is an outlet for a number
of other streets, in fact. nearly al!
the residents south of Lee street
must use the Lee street sidewalks
to get to the center of the city or
to get away from and back home.
Thus, thousands are subjected to
risk of limb and life.

HAD BABY IN ARMS
Did Drunken Woman When Arrested
Two Sent to Jail For
Ten Days Each.

Jail sentences OF ten days were
imposed on two women by Mayor
Grille at the regular session of po-
lice court this morning. They said
their names were Stella Quinn and
Edna snider. Policemen arrested
them Saturday night for being drunk
in the streets. Stella had small
baby in her arms when arrested
and she was SO drunk she could
hardly hold the child up.
The bonds of $500 each deposit
ed by Dug Coffman and George Da-
Wis. who were arrested Saturday
evening for drunkenness, were for
feited in their failure to appear at
the session.

Judge Dayton's charge to the
grand jury concerning the liquor
business has been so widely com
mented on that it seems strange that
there should be any man in the state
who imagines the President has
not heard about the charge. Yet,
that is what is implied in a let
ter said to have been mailed the
President on the subject. The
writer of it is evidently behind the
time as to real news.

A Democratic exchange deplores
tho fact that so many persons once
allied with the Democratic party
have become members of the Re-
publican party. 1t still clings to the
belief that men ought to be just
what their fathers were and have
that for the only reason of their
faith. But, the age is a progressive
enc and men now stand more and
more for principles and policies and
they use good common sense when
they desert a political party that
does nothing and join political or
ganization that does things. Briefly,
this is the reason so many progress
sive men have left the Democratic
party, and alliel themselves with
the Republican party.
