The average man desires to do the fight thing, ' The average editor desires to print about the right thing. Ho doesn’ t wish to abuse a section 'of the community, and in the main would rather please than offend, (Yet there are little fottrt by bine fellows in every community who assume that everything in the. papef ia written with' a malicious heart; that it is theworkj> f a fiend iucarnate whose soul is cracked ' with. Ablistering lust to stab, to wound, to1 torture those who come near him? These people take all sorts of merry jibs, and iron the smiles out of them and make them doggers, .These peo­ ple take happy satire and twist it into statements of fact. They are queer people, these serious, malevolent folks, and life is not very joyous af­ fair for them. For they lack the charity,which gives humor her eyes. They get along iti this *world some, way; but they worry so, and fret and groan and moan so over the iniquities o f others thatlifje isn’t much fun. In the meantime the editor grinds away, smiling with the the "happy couple,” shaking hands with the "charming hostess,” bracing*Up "one o f the town’s solid financial concerns,” throwing bouquets At the "graduat­ ing date,” Smoking the cigars o f the "proud.parent,” weeping with the "grief stricken family,” And filling the scrap hooks o f all the fond ■moth­ ers in town with kind words that never die—and all for a small sub-' ecription price, -And as he wades through this Vale of tears the editor has Alittle fun in passing and gets complimentary „ ’tickets "for self and lady not transferable” to tho greatand only big show At the cud o f it all,—€ .

Further it is said that the business was injured to a great extent by this ordinance. To drive out the saloons 'by injurying their business; would boo f more good than prevent-; ing the sale of liquor by force. We have' been called upon by .a- number of our best citizens and asked to urge bothpeopleand,’council to have such ordinances. We' feel that this ordinance will be passed by our legis­ lative body. It will be rememberet that the Herald called council’s atten­ tion to this same matter several issues back, but no action was ever taken. Must beTrue. Through an unexpected "leak” amongst the high officials of the t ) 8, & UMan explanation was Ias| night found in the plan of the road to elect- trify the Little Miami branch of the Pan Handle railroad. ^ It is, simply, to build a line from Yellow Springs te Clifton; Cedarville, Jamestown, etc.; and thus to enter at once into that ter­ ritory now thought to be monopolized by the road for which Harry Frey is promoter, *A, F, Appleyard, who laid out the D. S, & U. and represented the prin­ cipal stockholders, is now doing-the necessary surveying, etc,, to equip the Pirn Handle from Bpringfielif to Yel­ lowSprings withelectricity* This will he completed; then the X>« S. dt t£ intend to build A line from Yellow Springs te Clifton, and over the entire route by the Frey road. After the information had once be­ come communicated, the logic o f the plan was apparent, The field propos­ ed* and as yet uoltAVersed, ia oqa o f the ‘ richest from nil points of view ever traversed by a traction line. Traffic would be tremendous, construc­ tion would be easy; and the straight roads possible, . and level stretches would make lightning spe&dalmost at tainable, Frey has beet; working on hk vw rious franchises for more than a year, hut only with indifferent success, . It is said the p . S, & U. will get their preliminaries completed and their -franchises granted before Frey can possibly begin construction; and thus get the bulge on the trade, i f notdrive him altogether out ofthe field. ■' ’ - • The D. 8. ,&U,- .officials have not confirmed the story, jiut its authority is from such a sourc* as to preclude doubt.—-Springfield Suip, • .
