NUGAE CANORAE;

He was spotted in Follies and

the memorable box office statistics

PLACES EMPHASIS
ON RACE TOLERANCE

BY alvin ID. DAVIS.
I am a daily reader of your news
paper, particularly the editorial
page. I am taking time to write
this letter to convey to you my
thoughts and appreciation for the
timely article entitled Racial Toll
erance."
I've followed the writing of nu-
merous editors and writers in diff
ferent papers and pamphlets Of the
country, and this is the first article
that I've read which in such a linn
tied number of words actually and
definitely condemns the idea Of
prejudice between races, bringing
about the comparison of northern
and southern states in any way.
If these United States afforded
just a few more editors of your
caliber, we as a people could and
would be more patriotic, law-abiding
citizens and without a doubt more
interested in the welfare of the
country.
I'm hoping that the future will
bring forth more editorials and a
public as liberal with such vieW-
points as have been published.

DECISION IN SEWER
CASE CRITICISED

BY H. C.
The recent decision of the appel
late court in connection with the
sewer assessments for the Bean
creek and Pleasant Run sewer does
not settle the question in the minds
of several property owners south
and east of Indianapolis and in
Irvington.
In the test case filed by G. M.
Bottema, the court has held that
those assessments are good. That
sewer was purely sanitary sewer,
inclosed in a small concrete pipe
and is connected with the sanitary
disposal plant. Yet it was built
under a farm drainage law.
The reasoning of the court is not
understood by those who must pay
the large assessments, neither can
those who understand the English
language believe that any law to
build a sewer for the drainage of
land permits the building of sani-
tary sewer.
Those farmers who are assessed do
not need a sanitary sewer for con-
nections. 1t is obvious that the
piping would be too long and ex-
penSive.
If the city wanted to build a sani-
tary sewer, why did it not use the
sewer law and not search high and
low for a farm drainage law to do
it? Perhaps it was because the city
wanted to assess the farmers also.
No question is settled until it is set
tied right.
The courts decision does not set
tie the matter, in the minds Of
those who must pay.

REPUBLICANS TO

in ORGANIZING
Liable to Be Contention in
the Matter of City
Leadership

Republicans throughout the city
are asking when the call will be is
sued for formal organization of
the cop. town committee. The
democrats have already organized
for the coming two years in accord
ance with their party rules, but
the republicans have yet to go
into session. That the meeting Of
the town delegates will be fiery
one is conceded and strong efforts
will be made by the Pape-C ooney
forces, it is believed, to overthrow
the present regime and set up q
new order of things.
With the opening of the state
campaign only comparatively
short distance away, the republic
cans are beginning to demand or
ganization stops Immediately so
that the battle lines can be laid. A
concerted effort is to be made to
win back the 18th senatorial dis
trict to the republican column. The
district went democratic by an
overwhelming majority in the last
state election and gave the demo-
Gratis a majority Of one in the
state senate with the result that
many OF the largest places in the
Connecticut government went into
the hands of democrats. Senator
Joseph H. Lawlor of this city re-
ceived one of the large posts. that
of athletic commissioner while the
democrats also captured the i'm.
portant positions, Of motor. vehicle
commissioner. tax commissioner,
cattle commissioner and SO forth.
The demand for complete re-
organization of the cop. town
committee will be based on two
things, especially the Goss-
Gormely election scandal of 1882
and the very sad support given
Andrew J. Cooney when he ran for
mayor last fall. The Pape-Cooney

"Can the powers justify in any
