4 CONTRAST

The Republicans feel with good reason. that
they are not called upon to snake issues" for
the coming Presidential campaign. Their
record is before the country. BY that they are
willing to be judged. A year or two ago, they
were anxious to set themselves right on some
matters, on which they had not at that time
done all that they felt that the country desired,
or on which their action had been misrepre-
sented or misunderstood. But that work has
been done well or ILL., it is for the people to
Judge Nothing that the Republicans can now
do or say can materially change the record
which they have made during twenty three
consecutive years of their administration OF the
Government. Nor do they manifest any
feyerish desire to modify that record. On the
contrary, the most striking fact in the political
situation at this time is that one of the great
parties is calmly awaiting the verdict OF the
people, with absolute and unqualified readiness
TO be judged by the record rs it stands. There
are individuals in the party who wish to perfect
their personal hold upon the confidence oi
States or districts. But there Is no section or
faction, no wing or fragment OF the Republican
party. which desires at this time to bring about

T0 SIZE THE 4DIRONDACKS.

We understand that the Chamber OF Com
mercc Committee have not been so well pleased
as they hoped to be with the bill which Senator
lansing has introduced, and that they now
think of preparing one Of Their own to be
presented at an early date.
The Chamber of Commerce Committee and
the other friends of the AdirOndacks should
avoid the danger of undertaking too much.
They thus rcpel, through fears of expense, talk
Of heavy taxation danger of jobs and the like,
the very support they would naturally get. The
people of the State desire the Adirondack
forests preserved. They can only be kept from
making that desire peremptory demand upon
their Lawmakers through alarm at the enormous
expense it might entail Why then should not
the Chamber of Commerce Committee cOntne
its efforts entirely to the southern slope of the
Adrondacks, or, in ALL say about e-fourth
of the Adirondack wilderness Leave the rest,
which is the best numbering region, for future
consideration. Protect every foot of land from
which water flows into the Hudson or into the
Erie Canal, and let that which feeds the St.
Lawrence wait. This would immensely
simplify the work in hand, reduce the cost,
and increase the popularity of the measure.

that the indictment in some mysterious way

yesterday declared that he is perfectly sound

So he has been set at liberty. No better proof

soon as NAV be- The preamble contained talr
st,ltement of the facts of both these crimes.
The resolution went over until to-day under
objection. The objection must have been made
for pure forms sake, we suppose. Certainly no
Senator, whatever his politics, should object to
have the riot and She murder impartlally ex-
amined Either they were political crimes OF
they were not. In either case all honest, law
respecting citizens ought to be glad to have the
truth known.
The reception given to the President of the
United States, last night, by his fellow
member of the Union League Club was worthy
of the club, and of the President Whoever
seeks for a hidden political signihcance
in il will be mistaken. General. Arthur
has been member OF the cluD
since the days of the war-not always
entirely in accord with the majority
of its members on purely pHltisan GUS
tions. but under all circumstan -es and at
all times commanding their personal regard
and esteem. The club has for long time
rendered such mark of respect to every
succeeding President. There was every reason
why, when rendered to a President who was
New-Y Yorker, long an active member and
habitual attendant, with whose administration
his fcllow-members were satisfied, and OF whose
personal conduct under the trying circumstances
they were proud, il should be marked by un-
usual heartiness and cOrdia!ity. The fine CLUB

The report of the State Assessors is the
strongest kind of an argument for the revision
of the tax laws. In twenty-seven counties
the officers have found only three towns where
uniform assessment of property prevails. This
state of affairs is mainly due to the various
interpretations given to statutes governing as
sessments, and the only remedy seems to be new
legislation. The Assessors make number OF
suggestions which should be carefully consid-
cred upon their merits. One of them is to tax
all incomes of more than $lO, 900; and another
is that debts created for the mere purpose OF
reducing taxation on personal property shall
not be treated as just debts 1t might be diff

wisely trusting to the commOn-sense of the

that he is pecunayily interested with Senor

has called forth vigorous denial. His letter
on the subject is printed in another column of
this paper. In addition to correcting the false
report referred to, General Grant seizes the
opportunity to set forth some arguments in

IT is limited and whispered around,
sort'er on the sly, by his enemies,
that Judge S. S, Semmes has piled
up an enormous debt upon the coun-
ty by allowing fraudulent claims,
exorbitant fees, &C., for work done
for the county. If those who feel an
interest in these matters, (and every
citizen should), will take the trouble
to go to the court house and exam
inc the records, they can easily con.
vince themselves Of the falsity of
these reports. One item in particu-
lar, we have heard harped upon; and
that is the building of the bridge
across Mud bayou, on the Carson
Lake road. This "job", we would
state, came up before the County
Court on petition; was advertised to
let to the lowest responsible bidder;
the contract was awarded to Mr.. P.
Feezer, who out of some half dozen
bidders agreed to do the work for
the sum of 1920, TIE lowest bid. A
commission of three disinterested
citizens were appointed by the court
to view and pass upon the work; the
bridge was received by said commits
sion, which was composed of Messrs.
Elvis Bevils, II. Waller and w. H.
Hart, who received and accepted the
work and reported to the court, up
on which the claim was allowed. In
the name of common sense, is there
any anything wrong about this trans
action? Go see the bridge and de-
eide wether the terms of the contract
were complied with, and amount al
lowed excessive; if so, lay the blame
where it belongs-on the commits
sioncrs, Bevil, Waller and Hart.
We had hoped to have been fur
nished, as the law directs, state
ment of the financial condition of the
county, by which, we feel satisfied
that Notwithstanding the extra ex-
pense, in the past two years, of a
new court house, and necessary i'm
provements about the grounds, re-
pairing jail, &C., 1t could be shown
that the total liability of the county
will not exceed $4,000 or $4,000.
We have been promised this state
men. by the Clerk, Mr.. Bacchus, and
yet hope to get it in time to satisfy
the credulous upon these unwarrant-
ed reports and insinuations Of unlaw-
full claims and allowances.
In the meantime, if it is desired
to do the fair and honorable thing
by Judge Semmes-to ventilate his
public acts, or charges to prefer, let
them be made openly, boldly and
publicly. Every citizen and tax
payer is more or less Interested in
these matters, and the columns of
the TINES are open to you to discuss
them. Come out like men, and
quit sneaking around, breathing
venom in secret whispers, insinua-
tons and inuendoes, in order to be-
