sentery have been detected i'm ii. The
tubercle bacillus when dried in large
thick crusts and left i'm a cold, dark

To eight months. The bad condition
Of the streets is in part due To care
Iessness of the citizens and in part Ia
antiquated methods of cleaning. The
removal of ashes in cans on long
automobile cart. without emptNing
them in the street, is advocated The
use Of vacuum cleaning wagons IS
advisable The people must be edu-
Gated not to throw things into the
street. Splitting should he forbidden

Cats and dogs should notbe kept in

the place of the horse, whose manure
soils the streets. Flushing the streets
should be more frequent. The sub

an improved roadbed that can be
cleaned properly; the entering air

with the tyranny Of the bogus repub-
lie. a writer in the London Satur-
day Review sums UP the situation
| clearly.
The vast majority of the Portu-
guese people entered themselves in the
last census as Catholics, and the
1900 citizens who declared that they
had no religion include the provisional
government and its leading adherents.
Their aim is not to turn the country
| from the Catholic TO the Protestant
faith. believes this writer, but to drive
out all religion. The Protestsnts in
Portugal number only about 1000,
many of them foreign residents. so
the main attack is on the Catholic
body The country is now on the eve
OF an election. The first step taken
by the government is to pass an cleo
toral law which shuts out monarch
lists from the polls as completely as
colored voters are said to be eN-
cluded in some Of our southern states
The correspondent declares:
1t is necessary to be very emphatic
as TO the conditions under which the
elections are to be held in Portugal
lest erroneous conclusions be after
ward drawn. All the monarchical
and Independent press has been sup
pressed by force, and there can APP

save such as support the government.
The elections are to he carried out on
the basis of "A new electoral law,

The electoral lists are being 'doctored'
so that the right of voting may he
taken away from thousands of indie
pendent citizens who are suspected of
being opposed To the government. The
right of public meeting is abolished,
and the slightest attempt by the con
seryatives to inaugurate an electoral
campaign is vigorously suppressed.
No Independent citizen dare protest
against the dictatOrial DEGREES Of the
government unless he is prepared TO
see let loose on him crowds OF those
Apaches who attack with impunity

uals. spreading everywhere an atmos-
phere Of terror and oppression.

The Nuisance on Central Avenue.

Central avenue. which runs beyond
the city limits for several miles has
at great expense been converted into
fine driveway.
It is the principal pleasure thor
oushfare for the whole city.
1t has also become AN important
arteriaI highway for residents of the
| country who drive to the city.
1t is no longer a safe thoroughfare,
however. nor a safe highway for vehi-
cIes from the country.
Collisions and runaways have be-
come frequent because OF the reckless
ness of. automobile and motorcycle
speed maniacs.
Sooner or later somebody will be
run over and killed by a speed ma
Mac. since it is not practicable for
grown people or children to avoid
walking on the avenue altogether
they have to cross it. In the evening
and night it has become dangerous
for one walking to cross the avenue.
Running at top speed. frequently rae
ing with each other. the speed mani
acs have appropriated the avenue to
their own use Not only are people
on foot in constant danger, but it is
hazardous for women or children to
drive a horse on the avenue.
There is said to be no territorial law
that will enable the county authori-
ties to hold the speed maniacs in
check. We believe. however. that if
the district attorney would prosecute
these offenders for disorderly conduct
a vigorous public opinion would
strongly sustain convictions.
There is a city ordinance which can
he made of some avail The speed
can be controlled within the city linn
its. and on Central avenue the city
limits extend to the Mcdowell road
If the chief OF police can spare
from his limited force two policemen
for duty on the avenue during the
evening hours for awhile, some good
catches will be made, and the city
recorder will have an opportunity to
extend the Inequalities Of the city
Jail
We suggest the detail of two po-
licemen in plain clothes, equipped
with Ston watches the policemen to
he stationed at a measured distance
apart. so that on the question OF
speed the evidence will not be open

The morning is the time for play
When all our dreams we fold away.
The noontide is the hour for rest,
And then we dream the good Is best.
