perpetrated by ailence on !lh6
part of the press that can pos
sible arise from theeompartively
few newspapers who compara
lively abuse their privileges by
venting persoual epite and in
dividual unjustly thereby.
Nevertheless, there is small
danger of the average body
ever taking the action suggested
Now that we have power the
the next thing to do is for this
city to make an effort to secure
industries and use the power
There are other places that have
power, and its the one who goes
after business that generally
secures it.
