NXTHILE there is The strongest possible public
w sentiment behind the demand that licenses 10

street and elsewhere throughout the city who are con-
duetns resorts that are demoralizing and offensive
& to the law abiding element Of the community, it
should be realized by all who are active in the pres
ent movement and especially by the police authorities

going to abolish the evil.
Jackson street today is not nearly as bad as it used

crime that were never heard Of in jackson streets

Marx Mellor. West Virginia district man
ager for the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
company, who gave an illustrated lecture on tie tee-
phone to two Faimont audiences yesterday said that
the world is indebted to two accidents for the tee-
phone, but that was stretching the point Bit The
accidents had nothing to do with the actual develop,
ment Of Prof Bells great theory. although they did
hasten public acceptance of it.
The telephone as we know it today and whole
lot of maes that the engineers have not yet worked
out to the point where they are willing to tell the public
about them is the result Of persistent plugging That
is the great lesson in the marvellous telephone story.

amendments to the Frelinghuysen seasonal coal

The explanation for the collapse Of small theatre
in Pennsylvania town which involved loss of
life for seven people is that men esxcayaing for

walls of the theatre In other words the stupidity OF

large property loss Will the time ever come when
such criminal carelessness is properly punished?
