lengthy statement in which he said In
part
'If they send me to Jail, bully!
will edit my paper from a cell and
will never stop until this damnable
power Is taken out Of the hands of
our Judges, which makes us a nation of
serfs. This law, permitting a Judge
to punish a citizen for statements
made outside the courtroom, Is a re
version to the dark ages. We fought
for years for trial by jury, but here is
a law which undoes the struggles Of a
thousand years.
The contempt charge against Tenn

ON the surface that need erasing. The
Inspector OF the board of health fire.
ouently receives communications,
sometimes anonymous. Alta newspaper
office these latter would be thrown into
the waste basket, but to these he very
frequently gives heed. One Of his
more recent of these anonymous let
ters called attention to one Of these
dark spots. It really proved to be
very black 1t is described as having
been a veritable cesspool Of typhoid
and other diseases. A whole, piled-up
wagon load OF decayed vegetable mat
ter and swill was taken from 1t. The
most of this offensive matter was in
bags or cans and it was ordered that
vessels and all be loaded up and cart
ed away.
This was In most respectable
and density populated part Of the city
and not many blocks from the center
Of business. 8
There was enough poison in that
one load OF malaria to inoculate the
entire city and it was hauled away to-
day.
It would seem that care for the
health and prosperity of the city would
be incentive enough to cause an occ'i-
pant to remove such a stencil without
waiting for the health authorities to
Interfere This is a bad time Of the

Trimming Trees.
There is another matter being at
tended to. The inspector is notifying
people who have shade trees about
their premises which obstruct the
lamplght to trim them, Tinid women
and children who are called upon to be
out at night tremble oftentimes as they
are compelled to pass the mouth of al.
leys darkened by shade tree obstruc-
ton, and even some parts of the
streets are darkened from the same
cause 1t very often interferes with
the fire department which in some
parts of the city can scarcely see
their way and are frequently delayed
while thousands of dollars worth OF
property is in jeopardy.
This could be remedied In a great
measure by the cutting away of the
lower limbs and branches SO that the
light may have free access to all the
street over which the firemen and
others may be called upon to travel
Singly these seem to be insignificant
affairs, but In the aggregate creates
gigantic grievance which 1t would no
doubt be well to eradicate for the good
OF the city and it's inhabitants.
Citizens who have such trees might

They would be performing duty and
al the same time be doing a good turn

would be voluntarily aiding toward
