"A POOR RELATION"

THE very best of it's kind" is the

ments until such acceptance is COM
PEELED.
Owners of property on Poplar street
are anxious to have that street paved
hut they desire to have some say as
to the material to be used and the
price to be paid. They want their
moneys worth, and at this Time 90
not believe they will get it with btu
lithic paving.
1t is absurd to declare that twenty
Or more property owners are declo-
ing against bitulithic paving Tor pollli-
cal or commercial reasons. The list OF
names published on the petition is suf-
fcient answer to such charge.
Neither is it reasonable to suppose that
one or two, Or three councllmen nave
absorbed all the knowledge there is
to be had relative to the paving ques-
ton.
If the councilmen really desire To
play fair they should at least allow
the property owners an expression OF
hearing.
The strongest argument against bit
ulithic contracts at this time is the
haste with which the squad Attempts
to railroad through contracts when
they have reason to fear such will be
attacked.
The defeat of the ordinance for paw
ing Poplar street with bitulithic is only
partial victory for the property own
ers. Out of a spirit of retaliation
some of the bitulithic squad evidently
intend to hold up the paving of Pop
lar street now in an effort to shut off
the movement for good asphalt paw
ing.
This is hardly the spirit to be ex-
pected with men presumably elected to
carry out the wishes of the majority.

The LEADING Role,

Mr. Warlled's role is that of Yves
Blgelow, "A civil war veteran who had
"a speaking acquaintance with Gen
eral Grant" Yves served on the north.
ern side. and the development of the
role gives him ample opportunity again
to accentuate his brilliant powers as a
character actor.
Yves Blgeluw was in love as a young
man. and OF course the girl marries
the other fellow. If she did not the
play would not be true to real life or
to the stage. The other fellow Is kill
ed in battle, and later the wife dies,
leaving a baby boy whom Yves, abetted
by his housekeeper, endeavors to steer
into the uncertain seas of manhood.
Robert Is the boys name, and he Is
near inventor. His contraptions are
the most wonderful things in the
world, or will be one day, according to
Wes, i'm whose eyes the lad is the most
perfect creation ever. Next to Robert
the old man loves best the G.. A. r.,
the local post of which he is the COM
mander. As in many small towns, the
doings of the post form large part of
the local talk and attention. The
events of the story take place i'm In
