M0ULD WE Be BUYING DUR. OR BUNCH OF LAWSUITS?

What will be the ctys legal situation if the street railway
purchase plan adopted by the peope Or in other words
would the CITY be buvng street railway system or fresh
bunch of lawsuits if the purchase plan should be adopted
This phase of everncreasng argument the adop
ton rejection of the plan has most refreshing feature
There point small to be but still point
which both sides agree And that that lawsuit must be
fought out and will probably be the fire within few
days after election if the purchase plan is adopted.
That suit by the the youngest of large family of
lawsuits most of which have been in the courts long that
they have that ancient and hoay of wisdom that

And here little secret Should this decided in
favor of the city and with the Michigan supreme all
will be well from the cys standpoint, but should bond

the United all bets off and another fond
dream is gone.
The for this statement that the street railway
commission confidently counting the acquescence of the
trustees under the various bond issues little legal scrap

will not be serious to them because fairly quick action be
obtained in the circuit court and in of public importance
the court will probably jugge its docket
early decision But the federal courtswe be stated
that they do hurry without fear of being committed for
contempt.
Then too if the bondhoders their trustees should
break over the bounds there are so many different ways in
which they could start lawsuits that the existing
bonds and their children and their chdren children would
be paid by other bons and forgotten before the fighting had
fairly commenced

trustees under all the bond issues the D. u R. foaed
should sign all the stpuaton the English language capable
of framing releasing the city from responsibility the city
would still be liable and they quote court decisions by the peck

Should the courts hold that the city, in taking

If the courts should hold that the city may limit the

KING ALLIGATOR IS DEAD
Porieero Leg Tied to q Tree Lures
Wary Old Beast to His
Death.

Atlanta, Cattle king alligator Of
Georgia has been killed at Hutchin.
sons pond at Adel by M. l. Crowley.
after the beast had eluded hunters for
twenty-five years. The alligator meas.
ured ten feet four inches and had thir-
ty-seven notches on its tail, which
shows that It was thirty-seven years
old.
Many have been the attempts to kill
the sly old creature, but always until
now it has escaped the bullets aimed
at It, and has scuttled safely back to
its cave It was the gators appetite
for hogs that proved its undoing.
MI. Crowley, who for twenty-five
years has been hunting this beast, tied
the leg of porker to a tree near
Hutchinson's pond, and hid himself.
The wary old gator slid out of the
water, through clump of bushes, and
was just reaching for the bait when
Mr.. Crowley fired. The bullet took the
beast IN vital spot and killed it in
stantly.

FOR THE NEIGHBoRS

The hardest housekeeping in the world is the
housekeeping that people do for their neighbors.
Half the troubles have are caused by worrying
about what people think. What difference does it
make what they think anyway? No can live
his own life and two three other peoples lives
besides. What's the of setting up house
keeping on the roof the outside walls for the
benefit of the neighbors? You would rightly be
judged insane if suggested anything of kind
and that is practically what half the people do.
They can't do this because the neighbors would talk
any they can't do that because the neighbors won
der if they could afford to do something else.
They may not say DIT in many words, but they
mean it, and it is simply great big vacuum in
some Of our natures where moral courage ought to
be. Half the sting of poverty small means is
gone when one keeps house for himself and not for
his neighbors.

Topeka, Kan.-D. G. Anderson of
Paola is in hard luck The state has
some Of his money and he cannot get
It. Last fall he bought four COWS at
q state sale at the Osawatomie asy-

He paid 1925 real money for them.
The state guaranteed the stuff it sold.
One Of the COWS died while being
driven to Andersons place and the
three others when shipped to market
were condemned by the federal in
spectors.
They were all in the last stages of
tuberculosis
The board of control turned the
money into the general fund. Ander-
son asked to be reimbursed. The
board couldn't get the money out of
the fund to return it to him. 1t asked
the legislature to appropriate the
amount so he could be paid. The leg
