COUNCIL WILL HAVE
STREET CAR NIGHT

Council has two arduots tasks at
it's meeting Monday evening. They will
again remove the street car tracks
from the Glen, the ordinance to this
effect being read for the first time this
evening. The agreement between the
city and the officials of the T.
H. l. & E. system was approved by
the board of works, but has to go
through council before being placed in
effect. 1t IL thought from expressions
made by council, that objections will
be raised to the proviso that the city
will have to fill up the cut as it's ex-
pense.
Street cars will be the other topic
for discussion, the ordinance provid-
ing signs for the cars, 50 that one may
tell whittier they bounce, coming up
for the third reading.

From Mr.. Hilburn.

After reading in your w. Q. 7.
U. column a few weeks ago the
article entitled, Diamonds and
Rags" I am moved to quote your
readers q few words from the pen
of Rev. VIM. A. Prosser: "Most
|economists and social workers are
agreed that poverty is as mighty
in causing drunkenness and crime,
as drunkenness and crime are In
causing poverty, and that not all
the poverty and woe in existence
lis the result of drunkenness and
and crime" We believe that
more drunkenness and crime are
the result of poverty than poverty
the result of drunkenness.
That devout servant of God,
Miss Frances Willard, said in hei
presidential address before the
Worlds w. @. T. U. in London,
June, 1895: ssFor myself 81 years
of study and observation has con-
vinced me that poverty is q prime
fcause Of intemperance and that
misery is the mother and heredi-
tary appetite the father Of the

drink hallucination. We once
said that intemperance was the
cause of poverty; now we have
completed the circle of truth by
saying poverty causes intemper-
ance, and that the under-fed, un-
der-sheltered wage earning te-
totaler, deserves a thousand times
more credit than the tetotaler who
is well paid, well-fed and well
cared for"
| don't know about the propor-
ton of Republicans to Democrats
in the Socialist party as implied
by your editorial of a recent issue
but we don't mean to be hard on
you, Bro. AXE. If some of US
were slow in seeing the light, now
that we do see it we are so anxious
that its rays should fall athwart
the vision of all our countrymen
that we may sometimes seem a
little impatient at seeming delay.
Anyway, desire for the welfare
of the race is in itself commend
able. I want to be everything
rather than offensive and assure
you that l appreciate the courtesy
shown me in the past by opening
your columns to my feeble pen.
| believe the majority of men
and women seek to do the right,
otherwise writing would be futile.
Yes, the Socialists lost Milwaukee,
although they polled a couple of
thousand more votes than ever
before. But while the Socialists
vote rose two thousand the Demo-
crat and Republican vote fell of
to zero. Lost their identity never
to regain it in Milwaukee. Hence
forth the struggle will be between
Capitalism and Socialism, private
monopoly and public monopoly.
I learn that negotiations are now
in progress for fusion in the
whole state of Wisconsin. Later
the fusion will become national.

My Dear Old Friend Eli
| have been thinking for long
time Of writing you, as an old
friend, taking it for granted shat
you, like myself, are glad to hear
from any of the old-time friends.
How l would like to sit down with
you, and take your subscription
book, and look at each name, and
ask about each one, where they
are, and what they are doing.
Alas! many of the old subscribers
have gone to their reward, and
others / suppose have drifted to
the "Four Winds of the Earth"
and their whereabouts are un-
known. The REGISTER comes to
me like the "Weekly Letter from
Home, and in nearly every is
sue see some one mentioned who
had slipped my memory, and of
whose whereabouts I knew not.
In the process of house cleaning
few days ago my wife came
across supplement to the REGIS
TER, Sin the Arcadia Valley, but
as the ten first pages are missing I
do not know in what year it was
published. In the Explanatory"
find these words: "In conclusion,
the REGISTER presents this little
waif to it's readers as we present
friends with our photograph. In
after years when this valley shall
have become the seat of a great
city, perhaps, your children'E
children will turn it's pages and
wonderingly inquire-Did Area
dia ever look like the descriptions
and pictures of that funny old
book of grandpa's?" Wonderful
changes certainly have taker
place among the inhabitants, al
well as Improvements, and there
is quite contrast between "That
funny old book" and the one
published a couple of years age
advertising the Baptist Meetings
or whatever it is called.
1t has been two and a half years
