A QUESTION
Of MORE POLES

The visit of Superintendent Brisbin
before council Friday night brought
out the fact that the Bell Telephone
company, which has been doing bust
ness in Danville for many years, has
no franchise. circumstance which
was as great surprise to the COM
pany's representative as it was to the
majority OF the councilmen.
MIR. Brisbin had prepared large
and elaborate blue print showing
where the poles are located at present
and where the company desires to
plant new ones preparatory to Install
ing a larger switch board. Under the
circumstances all it could do was to
submit the blue print and proceed to
have an ordinance enacted. The latter
was submitted to council and, on the
advice of the borough solicitor, re-
ferred to the committee ON law.
AS matter Of fact few of the corp
orations maintaining poles in the bor-
ough of Danville have been granted a
special franchise they have come in
under the general ordinance regulat-
ing the construction, maintenance and
annual licensing of poles, which per.
mits telegraph, telephone and other
companies to erect poles within the
borough limits after making applioa-
tion of and securing permission Of
council.
Mr.. Brisbin desires a franchise con
ferring certain privileges, without
which it will be ineXpedient for the
Bell company to go on with the i'm
provements it has in view. As far as
practicable he proposes that the addi-
tional poles shall be planted in the al
leys
Some of the councilmen are averse
to increasing the number OF poles in
the borough Under the general ord
nance poles can only be planted with
the permission Of council and wheth-
er Che borough will confer special priv
ileges on the company in question by
granting the franchise asked fer re
mains to be seen.
1t is quite evident that council does
not intend to act hastily in the mat
ter and that the proposed ordinance
will be given due consideration by the
committee on law. 1t is subject that
demands cool deliberate thought
Whatever the outcome may be it is
hoped that it will be for the good of
the borough and in line with civic en-
terprise.

Mans Real Measure.

The place to take the true meas ure of a man is not in the darkest place or amen corner nor in the forum or field, but by his own fireside. There he lays aside his mask and you m ay learn whether he is an imp or an angel, king or cur, hero or bulldog. I care not what the world says of him = whether it crowns him boss or belts him with bad eggs; 1 care not copper what his religion or reputation may be, if his babies dread his home coming and his better half swallows her heart every time she has to ask him for five dollar bill, he is a fraud of the first water, even though he prays night and morning un- til he is black in the face and howls hallelujah until he shakes the eternal hills. But if his children rush to the front gate to meet him andlove's sunshine Eliminates the face of his wife when she hears his footfall, you can take 1t for granted that he is pure gold, for his home is a Heaven-and the humbug never gets that near the great white throne of God. He may be a rank atheist and a red-fag an archist, a Mormon and a mug wump, he may buy votes in blocks of five and bet on the election; he may deal from the bottom of the deck and drink beer till he can't tell a silver dol lar from a circular saw, and still be indefinitely better than the cowardly little humbug who is all suavity in society but who vents upon the heads of his help less wife and children an ill na- ture he would like to infict on his fellow man but dares not, I can forgive much in that fellow mortal who would rather have the hate of the world than the contempt of his wife; who would rather call anger to the eyes of kings than fear to the face of a child.

IMPORTANT TO VOTERS. They Must Have a 1907 Poll Tax Receipt to Vote at the
 April Election.

Attorney General Hal l.. Nor wood has rendered a lengthy opinion on the question as to whether 1908 poll tax receipt would qualify voter in the ab- sence of the possession of 1907 receipt, to vote in the municipal election to be held April 9th in F't. Smith and other Arkansas cities.
 The request for this opinion came from the election cOmmiss- toners of Sebastian county.
 The attorney general holds that the question hinges upon the construction of the words in the constitutioal amendment, at the time of collecting taxes next preceding said election. " and expresses the opinion that the time for the payment of taxes last year was the time for the payment of tlXeS next preceGl g the election to be held on April 9th. He also hold that if a person who proposes to vote has paid his taxes for the year 1907, that it could not be held that he had paid poll tax next preceding the election at which he proposes to vote, because there can not be two times of paying taxes next preceding the election. ,
 One or the other periods for collecting taxes" says the attor ney general, must be adopted at which the voter must have paid before he would be allowed to vote and in my opinion the constitutional ammendment can not be construed to mean that the payment of poll tax during the present period of collecting taxes is the payment of poll tax at the time of collecting taxes next preceding the election at which the person proposes to vote and qualities him to vote in the April election. :"
 The attorney general suggests that it would be advisable for the legislature during it's present session to define the amendment and prescribe a more detailed method of carrying into effect it's provisions.

Base Ball ak.

Almost any day now you can see a small knot of base ball fans with their heads together talking over the big league" situation, picking out the winners for 1909 and it is safe to say that there is not team in either sf the big leagues that will not win one or more penants-but finally after the penants have all been awarded the talk drifts to our local team. Our boys did not play but a few games at home last year and as a result the people seem to want to see some real base ball this year. It will be possible to put much faster team in the field this season than ever before, for all of the boys who have been playing on the team for the past three years, are still here and with little practice would be in condition to go out and hold up the repatriation of Carlisle as the town that does things.
 If we are to have team this season right now is the time to start and make some of the other towns in the state sit up take notice when it comes to indulg- ing in the great National game.
