Geo. Young. who has upwards of 150 colonies of bees on the desert southeast of Mesa states that his crop is going to be short. The extracting which should have been completed some days ago is still being done on account of the lateness of the sea- son.

 In reply. you are informed that an order was issued on the 17th instant discontinuing the service in question from July 1st, 1909 The action of the department was based on the .recommendatiop of an agent sent to the vicinity of the route for the purpose of making careful investiga- tiOn of the necessity for the con tinuance of the service between Mesa and Roosevelt, such recommendation having been based on the fact that he found that the amount of mail ad- vanced over the route did not justify the department in continuing the ex- penditure necessary for the mainten- ance of the service.

vuLeARITY ON THE STAGE.

The Philadelphia Times rises to re-
mark that public sentiment is in ia
yor of the suppression of profane and
other Objectionable language used by
actors and actresses in some of the
vaudeville and burlesque shows"
Whether our illustrious contempor-
airy has sized up public sentiment on
the subject correctly or not, all must
concede that public sentiment shohld
be moving strongly in that direction.
However, we doubt whether sentiment
against that sort Of thing is as strong
as /; should be, for If it were, we
should soon see some radical changes
in stage talk.
1t isn't fair to indict the whole actor
tribe for the shortcomings of part
OF them, but certainly the time has
come for the public to manifest In no
uncertain manner its disapproval Of
the coarseness, the vulgarity and in
decent suggestiveness of a whole lot
of rotten stuff that is heard on the
stage. vulgarity and indecent sugges-
ton are not humor except to the
coarse mind. Vaudeville and burlesque
are perfectly legitimate forms of en-
tertainment, but why should we go to
the theater and listen to talk that
wouldn't be tolerated in the home cir
Gle? There is no reason why the stage
should be dlsgraced with the kind of
stuff that we are complaining about.
The public can bring about the needed
reform II 1t will demand something
better.

Do We WANT
Street CARS?


Chickasha had her townsIte day,
Following in rapid succession came:
Her waterworks day
Her sanitary sewer day.
Her storm sewer day.
Her electric light day.
Het sidewalk day.
Her paving day
And now comes her interurban and
city railroad day
The day is at hand for both these
great enterprises

ests and improve upon the opportunity
offered.

age In the center of the streets yet
to be paved is not made it may be
years before Chickasha has street rail-
road or interurban running through
her streets.
The center parkage proposition is
the important question of the day.
Each day adds danger to the situa-
tion.
When by paving the full width Of
street we add $4,000 per mile to the
cost Of the putting in street railroad
system, it can be seen at glance
that the street car line is getting fur
ther from us each day that we con
tirue the present system of paving.
The city council stands ready TO dc
the bidding of the property holders
along streets yet to be paved and we
cannot get busy any too soon

by callin on the secretary Of the Com
mercial club or Dick Mckay, should b.
