There has been such discussion
during the week as to whether the
normal condition of the city is worse
or better than three years ago. We
believe that In general the cohdit-
ion Is improved. There Is far less
gambling. There are fewer disrepu-
table women moving. in the inter-
ests of their business, in SO called

there is more liquor sold In "unli-

Cigars For

Esthetic in the extreme was the
young man who called for a GER
tain shape cigar because It looks
more dressy In a fellows mouth"
But he knew We had particular
smokers for customers and was
sure Of finding what he wanted
here.
Most of our customers think
more of quality than shape of cl-
gars.. Our choice brands have
educated them to an appreciation
of the fine quality. No matter
what you are in the habit Of pay

WHAT THE CHURCH
THINKS OF CONDITIONS

We believe the City Council acted
in good faith In discharging Night
Marshal Wharton. The proof of
his disregard of his official duties
was so overwhelming and of such
long standing that none of the for
NAL charges were necessary. The
records of the city will show that
at least twice in the last few years
charges have been preferred and
by vote of the council he was in
structei to perform his duty or he
would be discharged. So far as we
know he has never denied the charge.
II he knows of others who are
equally guilty" and can prove it
or is willing to testify to 1t. as any
good citizen should be, he will find
ready help to push the cases.

Impatient Wait.
Arrangements for the flight of the
international feet were well nigh per-
feet II there was so much time to
spare at the finish that the contest
ants had to wait impatier1tly for the
command to be off.
The big German bag Pom1nern. a
veteran of many European balloonins
contests, including the International
race of 1906. being the first to start
and holding the head OF the line, was
the first of h contestants to attract
individual attention. The Pommern
floated many bits OF bunting form the
meshes of her webbing, including the
German II American flags. The
Pommern's pilot gave word to cast off,
and as he did so the big. yellow ball
loon gave a sliding lean INTO the air,
the band played, shou, rent the air
and the eventful race was on.
The United States, the first of the Amer
ican representatives to get away, was
pushed into starting position just after
the Pomrnern had cleared the ground. The
tenant Ialm made his victorious trip last
year. and the first sight of the aeronaut.c
vessel called forth a spontaneous cheer.
The balloon was away OH the instant at
4:O5 o'clock and was checred until the
of its car We're out OF range.

level ;erd barely cleared some stubby trees

looms were arranged in two rows, five
being on oEe side of the central lame
