VOLUME 4, NUMBER 3$
Immediately upon the passage of the
bill awarding the printing contract to
the Times the good government league
began an agitation for the recall of
tho six aldormon who constituted a
majority of tho council and whoso acta
in tho matter of granting franchises,
etc., had been unsatisfactory for
months. Councilman J. P. Davenport
of tho sixth wardthe workingman's
ward, and tho worst sufferer at tho
hands of tho "Big Six" was selected
as the first to be called.
Following tho provisions of tho
charter a petition was started, tho
minimum number of signatures of
which must be 25 per cent of tho voters
of tho ward. Within two weeks it
bore 1,300 signatures out of 2,864 votes
cast at the previous election. This
petition was presonted to tho city
clork for tho certification of tho names
it bore. It was chocked against tho
city directory by that official and was
thrown out for tho reason that many
of the addresses placed opposite tho
names did not tally with the directory.
Another petition was started. Other
charges were added and the second
document received more signatures
than tho first. After a similar process
of elimination it was iound to contain
upward of 900 authenticated names.

An election was accordingly ordered I
by the council. Davenport sought to I
ljruvtuii una uy bint lor iujuucuuu,
but lost the case, Judgo Oster of tho
superior court sustaining the recall
petition, thus clearing the way for
an election.
The fight thereafter was a hot one,
Councilman Davenport invoking the
aid of the saloQn element to secure his
re-election. The election was held
and resulted in the ratification of the
recall, Davenport being defeated by a
vote of two to one. Press Dispatch.

Philosophy of Felix Q. Pryrae
Platitudds are the paste diamond
of wisdom.
The professional advice giver rarel
advises himself.
An augur and a man of many anec
dotes aro alike perfect bores.
It is usually safe to be suspicious of
the man who is suspicious of others.
The pqssibilities of a fool are naugh
when compared with his impossibil
ities. .
To lenow what is right and not to qd
it is as bad as to know what is vrong
and to do it.
Do not forget that it isn't necessary
to be disagreeable in order to disagree
with the other man.
When a man -admits that he is never
too old to learn you may be sure that
ne is getting pretty old.
Life is like a rifle your hind sight
and your foresight must be in accprd
j li you would bit your target. Success,
