Sewer Question and Town Hall
Proposition Should Be Dispos-
ed of Before Summer Months
Arrive
Now that the new council has
been duly organized why not get
down to” business and dispose of
some of the questions that have
been agitating the citizens of Sayre
borough for nearly a year. The
sewer question is still in the hands
of a council committee and so is
the town hall proposition. Both
questions have been dragging along
under the plea that more time is
needed and that questions of such
importance can not be determined
quickly. It will be conceded that
matters of this character cannot be
attended to in a minute, but it
scems as if a year ought to be suf-
ficient time for the council to make
up its mind what is needed in the
shape of sewers. A sewer system
and a town hall for Sayre are need-
ed badly and before the summer
months arrive, both questions
should be determined either one
way or the other.

ADDRESSED MACHINISTS
livered a Highly Interesting
Address Here Last Night
the National Union of Machinists,
addressed a public meeting in the
Elmer building last night. The
meeting was attended by a large
crowd of local machinists, and the
remarks made by Mr. O'Connell
were of a highly interesting nature,
His address was particularly direct-
ed against the piece work sytem
which he characterized as being in-
employe. He insisted that machin-
ists who were employed on piece
work were likely to slight work in
order to get it out quickly, and as
a result bad workmen were thus
created, while the employer is fur-
nished an jnferior quality of work.
Mr. O'Connell also spoke against
the “handy man,” and said that the
practice of using them where they
did work usually accomplished by
a machinist, should be discouraged.
Mr. O'Connell is a forceful and en-
tertaining talker and his address
great attention.

REV. EC PES
SPEAKS AT ELNIRA
at
| That City Spoken of by the
| Press in Most Flattering Terms
The Elmira daily papers speak
in the most flattering terms of an
address delivered by the Rev. E. C.
Petrie, pastor of the Sayre Presby-
terian church, before the Current
Topic Club of the former place on
Monday evening last. “Mormon-
ism" was the subject of Mr. Petrie's
remarks and the Gazette and Free
Press of last evening has the fol-
lowing to say concerning it :
“The address on the subject was
| most ably composed and was well
| delivered and the members of the
‘club learned much of this strange
|creed of which they had hitherto
been in ignorance. He began his
remarks by telling of the founding
of Mormonism by Joseph Smith,
who told of strange visions which
|came to him when he looked upon
a curious crystal, found in digging
a well near Palmyra. The Mormon
church was founded with five or six
members following these visions,
and the wanderings of the Mor-
mons from then until they finally
{took up their abode in the valley
{of the Salt Lake in Utah was
graphically described.
| “The speaker said that there are
‘now 280,000 Mormons in Utah, or
| three-fifths of the population, and
{that Mormonism practically con-
[trols Wyoming, Idaho and Indian
| Territory, and thousands of Mor
| mons people the states of California,
| lllinois, Michigan and Iowa besides
| “A short time ago Rev. Petrie
| traveled in Utah, and for a time
[saw the conditions as they exist in
| Salt Lake city, and he told of the
[Strange customs of polygamy and
|of the practices which make Mor-
|monism abhored by civilized gen-
tiles. The doctrine of Mormonism
was explained and the important
part that it plays in the politics of
part of the land in which it reigns
supreme was shown to be all
powerful.
“Rev. Petrie dwelt on the lives
of the more prominent Mormons
—thé Smiths, Brigham Young and
Reed Smoot, prominent of late
because of the efforts to deprive
him of his chair in the United
States - Senate. Reed Smoot is
not a polygamist, but the efforts
to oust him must show that he is
an apostle of the Mormon faith
which by its oaths of allegiance
binds one even above those of
his country. An interesting dis-
cussion followed the address in
which several additional points
were brought out.”
