Rev Benjamin F. Root has been

der consideration. Mr. Root became

This was hard day about town.
The wind amused itself with almost
everything, especially the dust, and
men folks headgear. Many wanted
to know what the sprinkling carts
are doing and thought if the dust is
to be restrained at all this was a
good time to keep it under foot But
it would be difficult if not out of the
question to control dust on an occa-
sion like his and probably it was just
as well to let it do it's worst. The
situation was somewhat different
with reference to knocking off of
hats. The street department couldn't
be blamed for this and yet many
were so angry at the idea of having
to chase their hats all over town they
were ready to blame anybody and ev-
erybody, just to get chance to let
themselves loose. 1t is a good plan,
too, for when a man gets so mean
that he loses control of his temper
he is apt to burst if he cannot find
somebody to blame for his trouble.

The committee appointed by the
board of finance to investigate and
report regarding alleged abuse of
trolley tickets has not yet done any
thing, but it will have to get a move
on it before the next regular meet
ing. The work assigned 20 il looks
simple enough. but when one looks
into it he finds more to il than he
supposed. II the superintendent of
schools starts from his Office on East
Main street to visit the Duggan
school, which is it better for the
board, to give him a car ticket and
get him there in few minutes, or
let him walk, taking up more time
than would pay for four or five
fares? In like manner, If three or
four engineers are assigned to
job in Mill Plain, would tt pay to
give them trolley tickets aad have
them on the ground in Ave or ten
minutes after they leave the Office,
or let them use shank's mare and
spend an hour on the road? 1t is
true that some officials buy their own
car tickets and it is also true that
others wouldn't think os such a
thing. Come, now. you wise heads.
if you have a remedy which will be
fair TO all. the city included. this is
the time to make it knoHu.
