Vetoes Ordinances TO Borrow
Money for Annexed Terri
tory Work.
BONDS NOT YET SOLD
Wording Not Specific, and Plan
for Securing Funds Some
what Vague.

Mayor Mccarthy threw a bombshell
into the municipal camp yesterday by
vetoing all ordinances and resolutions
directing the Finance Committee to
borrow money for Improvement in
the annexed territory, pending sale
of city bonds. Had the committee. or
the Auditor, exercised the full power
conferred by act of Council, the
amount might have runSto Ss50,oOO, al
though that sum was not to be touch
ed. Members of the committee SAID
last night that technically the position
Of the Mayor was correct. but from
others came the announcement that an
effort would be made to pass the meas
ures over his veto.
Bonds We're Never Sold.
1ncluded in these new laws was an
annropriation OF s35oooo for rehabili-
tation of the gas plant
The bonds, heretofore anthorlzeu. 81
we're not sold, owing to the unfaVorap,e
condition OF the market Inc "a i1a,r az,
obiection { Of the Mayor was based on
the fact that the, Auditor, under. Iu tne
s,ireeii ons3of ) the Finance Committee.:
WAS authorized 'to make Temporary
arrangements" for the loan. Ihis, ne
contends, was not sufficiently specillc.
Chairman Pollard, OF the tlnamSe nado
committee.6 explained that about Sloo,-
ooo would be needed for improvements
by the first Of February Of next year.
Much of this work has already peen
riven out. and some of it is nearing g
ccomple ton. 1t takes In the installa-
tions Of water pipes, sewers and gas
pipes, Mr.. Pollard says the adea was was
the general fund, the ordinances be-
ling held In reserve. II It became .neces- ss
sary to secure money by that means.
Vetoed Sewer Ordinance,
With the same principle involved, or

1t is to put the legislation into effect.
But there is infinitely more need of a
high individual average of character.
The only permanent way to help any
man Is to help him to help himself.
To teach him permanently to depend
on anything save his own powers is
to do him harm and not good.
Laws Must Be Enforced.
Let no man persuade you that laws
by themselves, no matter how neces-
sary and beneficial, will make any
community happy and prosperous, or
be even the chief factors In securing
such happiness and prosperity. In the
last analysis the vital factor in each
mans effort to achieve success in life
must be his own character, his W
courage and uprightness and intelli-
gence. In this audience are many men
who wore the gray in the great Civil
war.
Men Who Fought Each Other.
In every audience | have spoken to
on this trip there have been men who
fought in either the Union or Con-
federate army, and often representa-
tives from both armies. Now, you men
know that while in time of war there
is good generalship, need of good or
ganization, yet the determining factor
in the regiment, the brigade, the army
is, and must ever be, the individual
character of the individual soldier;
his prowess, his %hardihood, his I'M
yielding resolution. his stern fidelity
to duty, his capacity to act on his own
individual responsibility when neces-
sary, and yet to serve over or under
or with others in perfect harmony and
obedience.
The Man in the Ranks.
1t is the character of the nan in the
ranks which primarily determines the
failure Or success of battle and cam
paign. In the great Civil war our
armies, northern and southern alike,
won their high position forever and
all time in the undying regard and ad-
miration of their fellow-citizens, be-
cause the average man in the ranks,
the average man who carried saber or
rifle, had this high standard of per-
sonal quality.
Must Have Right Stuff in Him.
Just as it was in time of war, SO it
is o in time of peace. If a man has
not got the right stuff in him, then
no law can possibly get it out Of him,
because it is not there to get out. All
that the law can do is to punish evil,
to encourage what is good, and to S e
cure, SO far as is possible, an equality
of opportunity for all men to show
their strength of body, mind and soul
in the hard struggle of life.

Resources Being Exhausted.
Many of the resources which we
have been in the habit of calling mex
haustible are being rapidly exhausted,
or in certain regions have actually
disappeared. Coal mines, oil and gas
fields, and iron mines in important
numbers are already worked out. The
coal and oil measures which remain
are passing rapidly, or have actually
passed, into the possession of great
corporations, who acquire ominous
power through an unchecked control
of these prime necessities of modern

Unlawful Acquiring of Lands.

Our public lands, whose highest use
is to supply homes for our people, have
beer and are still being taken in great
quantities by large private owners, to
whom home-making is at the very best
but a secondary motive subordinate to
the desire for profit. To allow the
public lands to be worked by the ten
ants of rich men for the profit of the
landlords, instead of by freeholders
for the livelihood of their wives and
children, is little less than a crime
against our people and our institu-
tons.

Abusing Natural Resources.

The great central fact Of the public
land situation, as the public lands COM
mission well said, is that the amount
of public land patented by the govern
ment to individuals is increasing out
Of all proportion to the number of new
homes. 1t is clear beyond peradven-
ture that our natural have
been and are still being abused, that
continued abuse will destroy them and
that we have at last reached the forks
of the road. We are face to face with
the great fact that the whole future
of the nation is directly at stake in
the momentous decision which is fore
ed upon us. Shall we continue the
waste and destruction of our natural
resources. or shall We conserve them?
There is nc other question of equal
gravity now before the nation.
High Individual Character.
In conclusion, friends, let me i'm
press upon you one thing. Good laws
can do much good; indeed, they are
often Indispensable. There is urgent
need that We should have honest and
efficient legislation and honest and eff
icien action nv those whose nroyince

Mr.. R. ". OcIESBY

We published, last week, the
platform and announcement OF
Mr.. r. w. Oglesby, and on
account of the lack of space
could not get in the usual
editorial notice.
Mr.. Oglesby IS a young lawyer
who has cast his lot with us, and
is man of high attainments and
q good citizen. He has at con-
siderable length in his platform
fixed his position on the many
questions which may come before
the next general assembly, should
the Democracy select him as their
Senatorial standard bearer. We
feel chat he would carry out the
pledges which he sets forth as far
as it will be in his power to do so.
