Assaulting an editor or anyone else, for that matter,
does not accomplish anything, except to remind us how
little the human race has advanced since the days when
physical might was right, and it plainly shows the barbar
ian skulking under the veneer of civilization. If the editor
has any stamina in him, it intensifies his efforts.
The assault upon Mr. Pattison speaks volumes for the
effectiveness of the work he is doing in advancing the
progress and prosperity of Central Point.

THE INTERLOPING COMET.
The comet now visible in the early evening as a bright
star on the western horizon is pronounced by the astron
omers to be one of those strange interlopers from space
whose coming is entirely unexpected. It has nothing to
do with Halley's comet, which is scheduled to appear in
May. The new comet is named "Comet A, 1910."
Lick observatory reports that Comet A is a comet of
the first magnitude as it has been seen there in full day
light. The spectrum has been photographed, and it shows
that the comet is shining both by reflected sunlight and
by the blaze of its own intense heat.
Comet A, 1910, was first observed just before sunrise
at Johannesburg just before it passed the sun and began
to emerge in the evening sky. It must have passed close
to the sun, to which it is attributed its brilliance, and if
it remains in sight long enough it should exhibit a long
tail.
Astronomers predict that it will remain in sight for
two or three weeks.

when the new charter was adopted,

opposed tho measure, at least In such 1
form as wonld be of any particular

he resigned from tho board. Ho
has been opposed to the water sys
tem, and at tho last municipal elec

of the antl-wcter, conservative ele

vigorously opposed Mr. Freeman's
candidacy, using all of Its Influence
to olect Mr. LceTer because ho came
out squarely for a water system, for
street Improvements and other pro
gressive Ideas. Theso things show
something of the animus of the as

Neither does he deny that It was lack
