Back Yonder.

When the time Of toll is ended and the
stars begin to show
And the 6relight fades and fickers and
the shadows come and 60;
When the present day is fading through
the portals Of the past
To join the other days that made the
journey all too fast;
You cant help going with it far enough
to say "goodby,"
And maybe it will take your hand and
lead you; and you try
To laugh and hope. just as you did
when everything was new
And you we're living in the land of
things you meant to do.
Il takes you to the rainbow which
showed treasures hiding place
It shows youth starting point, where all
we're equal in the race.
The winters 6erceness there was all
forgotten in day,
For nothing was so real as the blossom
ing Of May.
The stars that shine afar then seemed
so radiantly near
That one might pluck them from the
sky, should he but persevere,
Lies fairest truest Joys are those too
fair to eer be true.
They dwell back yonder in the land
Of things we meant to do.

PROTEST.

The undersigned citizens of Oko
Iona do hereby enter this their earnes
protest against the the approval Of the
proposed Charter Amendment where.
by it is sought to change the time hon.
ored government of OkoIcna BY max.
ing the Mayor of said City President
Of the City Council, in lieu of present
method Of electing the President Of
said Council.
!. Since the first incorporation of
said City the President has been elect
ed by the Council, or the Board Of Sc
lectmen as it was then styled, from
among its own members, and later by
the Electors at Large, as Councilman at
Large; who by virtue Of his Office was
President of the Council with only the
right to vote in case of a tie. This
change was made to avoid the casting
OF two votes by one member of the
Council, one as a member and anoth-
er, in case OF tie, as President.
In our judgment, time honored Gus
tom Of the City should be preserved,
as the City has always prospered
under it.
II. The Mayor, in our opinion,
should be entirely free from participa-
ton in the legislation Of the City, ex-
cept as now authorized to recommend
such measures as he believes best for
the public interest, and to exercise the
veto power with which he is now in
vested.
When free from any connection with
the legislation of the Council, the May
or has FIVE days in which to. approve
or reject ill advised Legislation. This
gives him ample time to investigate un-
lawful and i'll advised acts, giving the
public the benefit Of a mature judg-
ment
AS President of the CoucniI, the
casting vote will be equivalent to the
exercise Of the veto power, and would
be too hastily given, and thereby in
Hicting upon the public crude and in
valid laws, which would cause much
trouble and vexation.
Premises considered, the under
signed humbly pray that said amend
ment be not approved.
Respectfully submitted,
S. G. SadIer,
Councilman End Ward,
T. M. Beatty.
Councilman 3rd Ward.
J. S. W. Hawkins,
President City Council.
