etc. in thessame~ strain, and of the same
tenor. ,.
Now. With all due regard for his
ability, and sincerity, and the esteem IN
which the young man who occupied the
chair. is held. objection must neverthe-
less lie, taken to the manner in which he
dealt. with the position taken by the
Water Gut Fisherman Felix, and the
remarks from the Chair as to the con
sideratfon of. that speakers point or any
part of this grievance as stated. Ac-
co5rrding to the .pulrport of the. meeting,
there could not be any exception to any
particular. cause Of grievance. for the
benefit Of any other cause and the argu-
ment is that, the Water Gut F~ish-ques-
ton or the Sanitation Service, as the
latter bears upon. the former, or vice
sersa, was<of more interest to a large
portion of the TeWn-fok including the
respectable poor Of Water CUT than is
the matter of the scheme to drive ouN
the Field Laborer from Town to Country
residence.
, 1920-11-24

The Sanitation Service is in q great mea-
sureonly in it's infancy. Officials concern
ed in the methods adopted for beneficial
results, may be more filled with zeal for
the same, that with 3 knowledge of con-
ditions governing the surroundings.
Time will show. And therefore a hint or
two thrown out by a party or parties
better acquainted with such conditions,
and especially when these may be work,
ing against, and threatening the collapse
of a necessary industry, 60 say nothing
of the great inconvenience to a consider
able portion of the inhabitants, should
not be pooh-pooh'd in a public discussion
of general OR public grievances. Felix's
point. as to what he. considered a grave
error, in prohibiting the sale of fish at
Water Gut Bay. taken by fishermen OF
that quarter; and therefore compelling
the people residing there to go a consid-
cradle distance to procure their fish at
GaIlows bay-was undoubtedly a strong
point; because it contained much that
bears immediately upon and against the
results sought after. by the Sanitation
Service and for that reason, if for no
iother-rthough there are others was
fully worthy of consideration; and for
him to be told at the end of his speech
that Sanitation grievances or %lnconvenl-
ences needed no comment or remark at
q meeting such as that purported to be.
was indeed a positive hufnbug, and may
be characterized as nothing less than
hypocrisy. -;
The %extraneous matter complained of

rather more 'e~onspicn0ps In the speech
:M another speaker who seemed certainly
more determined on brulting other sub
sject.r not at all, called for. either by the
advertisement OF the chair. =
- In conclusion, it must be said that if
such a Tremendous Success as is
claimed by The Herald was the result
of that meeting--7then it was a TIE
@4nandous success: at Tremendous
Sacrifice: a sacrifice of honor and princi-
pie: 10 calling a meeting together for a

Would Barter Her Baby; Changes Mind

cred the first week OF existence, 1t Is
shown to the satisfaction of the juve-
nile court that 1t were better for the
child to be adopted by others.
The young woman admits that she
has been thoroughly shamed through
the publicity given her plan, and that
to shame has been added desire to
hold what is hers and to make her
husband. an automobile salesman, see
that they must manage to care for the
baby as for themselves. on his salary.
"The time has passed when girls
can do as they please regarding their
babies" Judge Lindsey said. "Then,
too, II women get the idea that they
can transfer their babies without for
mality of court proceedings. what is
likely to happen In the affairs of the
men and women taking such babIes?"
He said people wanted to procure
clear title with their property. and
no child could be adopted without the
consent of the Juvenile court in this
state under the present statute.
Upon discovering that any person
applying for the child and agreeing
to pay the hospital expenses attendant
on its birth in exchange for posses
sion of the little one would be guilty
of conniving at dependency, many
women called upon Judge Lindsey.

taken to hospital on the mainland
and Is now back home, convalescent.
The constable is out on $500 bui.

Mayor Carey Crockett, who is also
a preacher, speaks for the reactionary
faction when he says: at is neces-
sary to be firm with the bad ones who
don't go to church." The older people
say the constable was right, II by
destroying one mortal body he ccud

Tangier has new preacher, Rev
w. +. Goodwin; the Sunday of the
shooting saw his first service. He
doesn't exactly condemn the constable,
but he says he's going to make such
methods unnecessary by making the
church attractive.

Colorado: That's Where the West Begins

" The recent big snow that blocked

of Arthur Chapman's famous poem.

which the last stanza reads thus:
"Out where the world is in the making.
Where fewer hearts with despair are

And man makes friends without
