ANOTHER POINT WON.

lrTvHoSE who have been backing the new Fairmont
charter gained another victory yesterday, when
the Supreme Court reversed the decision Of ,aise
Raymond Of the local court and ordered the case re.
opened here. The Supreme Court stated in its decis.
lon that the tights OF the people must be respected and
the opponents OF the charter could not act as plaintiffs
and defendants in the case and thus shut out all pos.
sibie chance for the charter adherents to gain a de.
cision. +
The decision Of the Supreme Court was no surprise.
It was not thought for a minute that they would make
any other decision. Once the question was put square.
" to the highest court in the state, the decision was
\ fcregone conclusion for the evidence o. unfair treat.
raent Of the case locally was SO manifest thai no other
decision than the one which was given out yesterday
could well be made.
The court in making the decision stated:
'Peationers who have been Improperly refused the
right to file their petition in a pending suit and to be-
come parties thereto have the right of appeal in this
court as II they hadsbeen made parties to the BILL.
The court further stated that persons desiring to
have . charter put in operation have a right to come
into court ana make3as defense when the Constitution.
ality Of the charter Is attacked.
In thu lowe court this very thing was denied those
who were supporting the local charter. They we're
simply denied all right to get a fair. chance in the local
court; but thIre was little doubt that when the ques.
ton Of whether OF not they had the right to come into
court and make o defense was put up to the Supreme
Court that the court would say they had the right to
make such defense.
Slowly but surely the charter case is coming to a
head-to q final decision, and it is likely that, sooner

Alexander the Great.

Just conquered the world, which
he wasn't ashamed to admit. His
banners were everywhere gaily tun
furled, and the young man was GER
tainly 1t. But SO years he had lived,
so they say, but he'd been on the job
all the time; since his kidhood he'd
had pretty much his own way. and
now he was right in his prime. When.
he came back to Babylon, king Of the
earth, Alex published this note in
the press: "I'ye not had a single
day since my birth, but Ill take one

there were things going on in that

shoutingly tight. that he tried to.
play catch with his crown. The next
day the king started war on the
snakes, and he swore there were
cows in the house; he developed a
terrible case of the snakes, he mis-:
took his valet for a mouse. The fu-

SUPERSTITION

A SUPERSTITION is a belief held without reason.
~ The rulers in Europe claim to rule by divine right
that is superstition, It Is without reason.
The early humans WHO also called themselves the
civilized people Of their day had not risen to higher
standards because Of their superstition.
The forests, they thought, were placed before them
by a greater power simply to keep them out.
Instead OF seeing the lumber and other benefits which
the forest he'd for them they turned away in terror.
That happened countless centuries ago and those PEG.
pie were very ignorant; but we find the same foolish
ignorance today.
In Europe men are killing one another with the sam.
kind Of bruta! anger and ignorant savagery that their
ancestors displayed and doing it willingly at the orders
Of the rulers whose only right to order is founded on
the unreasonable superstition Of divine right
The Intelligence OF the human race is still similar in
many ways TO that of our apelike ancestors and will
be until unreasonable superstitions are no longer be.
