The Purposeful Orator Returns 10
Hot Springs Chautanqua.

Most people are novices at living,
and die without obtaining perspec-
tive. Prof. Edward Amherst OFT. lee
turer and orator. however, is an ex-
pert. Although he carries few side
lines, his chief business is living, and
above all he is a good liver
lie is a man Of ideas and a man of
doing, who wants To share his ideas
with all the world. The thought in
his lectures is deep, deeper than in
tie ordinary popular lecture, but he
has provided enough humorous life
preservers and shoal waters of anec-
dote and illustration 10 save even the
most superficial mind from being
drowned in the sea of thought and
facts.
And he delivers his message well:
ne impersonates without straining the
representation: he paints picture
and then always keeps inside the
frame. In short. he is his own best
advertisement, for TO hear him once
is sure call to hear him again.
Every babe has right to be born
healthy and strong II is crime to
imbeciles. Genius may be
born in poverty, but never of impov-
erished blood. The man who drops
below the character Of his family is
coward: If he rises above II he is
hero.
That is an extract from Edward
Otis lecture on Sour Grapes
or Heredity and Marriage. Don't
yon want to hear the rest of and learn
something on this vitality interesting
subject: Learn from a man who
knows, too. That's Prof. Edward
Amherst OFT.

Here's comparison in freight rates
which is very interesting. A piece
OF machinery was shipped from
Cairo, Illinois TO Forrest City. The
rate from Cairo to Memphis, haul Of
l67 miles, was As cents per hundred;
from Memphis TO Forrest City, haul
OF only A miles the rate was GA cents
per hundred. On another shipment
between the same points the rate to
Memphis was 80 cents per hundred
and from Memphis here, 4s cents.
What we would like to have explained
Is how the Illinois Central can haul
freight distance of 1877 miles out OF
Illinois, across the Ohio river. through
Kentucky and Tennessee, for As cents
per hundred pounds, while for the final

Showing the best twenty ears Of
corn on or before November Is,

our farmers will ever prosper as
they should until they raise more

To the Editor of The Press; Sir: The Statutes of the State of Cali fornia relating to Municipal Corpora tions, Section S63, provide that the enacting clause of all ordinances shall be as follows: "The Board of Trus- tees of the City of. ............ do ordain as follows"
 Ordinance No. Al, some times re- ferred to as the Spite Ordinance" 7" or freak" ordinance, had no such en- acting clause, and no enacting clause at all. It was flor that reason void, and Trustees Brown, Hamilton and Pellet so declared at their regular meeting held on November 23rd. They were so advised by the City Attor- ney.

THE TRICK THAT FAILED
City Attorney Refuses to be lnveigIed Into Futile Prosecution of Fool
 Liquor Case

On motion of City Attorney Ansel Smith, the case of the city against Arthur Lindley, a divrer of one of the local livery stables, charged with vio- lating the city anti liquor ordinance, was dismissed in City Recorder Ha- vens's court Monday.
 The ClLy Attorney said:
 Tn view of the action I propose to take it is proper for me at this time to state my reasons therefor.
 This action, if prosecuted to judg- ment, might be considered a test case under Ordinance No. A., purporting to amend Ordinance Mo- 6. It is not proper action for that purpose. It is not a strong case. It is a weak case.
 I may some time seek to determine in the Superior Court the validity of Ordinance No. 41, the validity of which has been quite generally call ed in question. If I do, shall do it when please, and on case select ed by myself, and not on or by case selected by any one opposed to the ordinance, and certainly not on weak case, and it will probably be done against one of the principals.
 If Ordinance No. Al is void then Ordinance No. 6 is in full force as or iginally passed. It is the duty of ev- cry citizen to uphold and observe the law. Good citizens will, others must.
 If we have undesirables who de- sire to make trouble, and I find that the ordinances are not, for any req son, sufficient, I will draw and pre- sent to the Board of Trustees two ordinances, that I am satisfied if en- acted, will meet any case and may put some such men out of business in El Centro.
Imperial Valley press., 1909-11-27

one may have liquor, why not a number?"
 City Attorney-"I think you are sup posing mere evasions of the law. If any such attempt is made I shall prosecute the persons responsible. Any good citizen will obey the law with out quibbing."
 Blackinton-'I want to explain that voted for ordinance forty-one be- cause some people wanted the Eagles Hall buffet closed and supposed they wanted people in their homes treated the same way"
 City Attorney-"It may be well not to forget that violators of the law can be prosecuted at any time within a year, and some heavy penalties may yet be imposed upon some undesir- able citizens of this city"
 Trustee Blackinton's solicitude for the young men who want beer sub sided and the vote was taken. Brown, Hamilton and Pellet voted to repeal the spite ordinance and restore the original anti-saloon law of the city. Blackinton and Pearson voted no.
