Kerr Writes Another Letter.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In my communication to the Sunday Age-Herald I requested that any person having any reasonable objection to the plan proposed for a primary election in the Third ward for a successor to Alder man Eggleston should make the objec- tion public. I am glad that my friend, MT. Cutcliff, so frankly stated his ob- jection in yesterdays Age-Herald. But he does not meet the issue. He says that MT Gambill would do much for the ward. That is prediction, merely He says the people are tired of elections. That is a mistake. Whenever a people are so tired that they will prefer to have their repre- sentatives named for them by others they are ready to relinquish their highest priv ilege. That such Is not the case in the Third ward is evidenced by the fact that 300 out of 400 voters have expressed their opinions In the matter, as shown by the names attached to the petition which will be filed with the Board of Aldermen It Is true there Is "a combination against the election of MT. Gambill," but it is tho combination of the great majority of the voters, of the ward, and no secret com bination
 The writer has not the slightest un- friendly feeling for MT. Gambill, but on the contrary considers his services to the city as license inspector were of great value to the city; but the question Is one of principle. The question is one of home rule and the right of the people to be heard, and that is a more import ant matter than the personal ambition of any man. Truly yours,
 R. H. KERR

Fight In Third Ward,

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 I understand that MT. R. H. Eggleston alderman from the Third ward, stated publicly on Saturday last that he would hand In his resignation August 5. It is currently reported that Mir A. A. Gam bill has a majority of the aldermen pledged to elect him to this vacancy The people of the Third ward seem not to want MT. Gambill as their alderman They said so two years ago very en- phatically, when MT. Eggleston defeated him by majority of almost to l. They have just spoken again with just as much emphasis for a petition of more than two-thirds of the qualified voters of the Third ward, asking that Mir Asa Hoyt be elected to the position, will be presented to the council on August B. One member is reported to have said that the board of aldermen would pay no attention to this petition. If he is quoted correctly, and his assertion is a fact your correspondent is at a loss to know what we are coming to.
 The members of the City Council are elected by the people, come from the people, and should be of the people. and, in my humble opinion, things are coming to a fine pass when the petitioners of more than 300 registered voters of a ward out of the possible 400 receives no atten- ton rom the Clly council in a matter of vital interest to themselves. Knowing nearly every member of the board as I do, I am free to confess that the alder man in question must have been mis- quoted for the right of petition is one of the most cherished privileges of a free people, and your correspondent Is con- fident all of these gentlemen are fair and just men and ever ready to do the right.
 notice MT. Cutcliff speaks of a com bination against MT. Gambll. If 300 voters out of 400 in a ward can be termed a combination he seems to be in a man. ner correct but this is no secret comb- nation, and for every bona fide registered voter who takes his name off of that pe- tftion l think l can promise two more who will sign it. More than 30 have added their names to it in the past four |. days, since the matter has been agitated. MT. Cutclif speaks of how much MT. Gambill will 'do' for the ward. We do not recall any special public services that MT. Gambill has rendered.
 With these facts before the City Coun- l ell, I cannot see how they can fail tt grant the request of such a large mum | Der of the citizens of the Third ward l and grant them at least the privilege oi ! primary. If MT. Gambill can go into l the primary and receive majority oi l the votes in the Third ward, well and ] good; but in the name of all that Is jus l and fair, let the people of the Third ware have chance to express their sentimen 1 on the question

any frost Another thing you can de- pend on Is, you will always get every cent due you. No gratis are permitted in Mexico. Your share of the fruit, after deducting all expenses, should easily ex- ceed 5000 per annum from a five-acre or chard. I know this from my own ex- perience.
 Do you know any place where $500 or $500 invested in land will bring you a net profit of more than 5000 per annum. without any effort on your part? With such opportunities there is no excuse for anyone being without home, or for remaining poor, this offer Is made to both men and women, no matter in what country you live.
 By addressing the official in charge, Senor Elisha D. Ely, Tuxtepec, Mexico, you will receive all desired information regarding Mexico, and the procuring of free land here.

It is not necessary to do "big" things in entertaining to create a favorable irn- pression upon your guests. It is in the cleverness, the good judgment shown in preparing the menu.
