Around the midnight hour a cry for
help was issued. A booster was need
ed, some one who would rouse people
to patriotic thoughts and save them
from selfish instincts and political hat
reds. Judge Reiter, jurist; DR.. Weis.
city official, and Engineer Shields,
an outsider, had all spoken. But their
logic had not taken root because all
appealed to the intellects without
touching the emotions.
Few Plain Remarks.
Judge Reiter remembered the man
who at one time went to the rescue of
the Chamber of Commerce and called
for him. He put C. J. Sharp. pastor of
the First Christian church, in the
tightest place of his career. But Sharp
never faltered in declaring himself for
the sewer and Kidding the arguments
of the antis.
He said: you have spent too much
time criticising the system proposed
You pit your judgment against that OF

| devising similar projects.
