POLITICS MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.
The Union League Club Decides an Inter
esting Point.

esting Point.
NEW YoRK, March Il The Onion Leagun
club held its regular monthly meeting Fri
day evening. A large attendance was called
out by the understanding that the member
ship committee was to be taken to task for
deciding against reporting favorably for
membership several gentlemen, on the
ground that at the last election
they did not cast their ballots for the regu
lar Republican candidate. The names pro
posed were J. W. Haven and J. n. Girls
wold. The secretary Of the membership
committee had asked how the proposed mem
be had voted The reply was that hi,
authority to ask the question was not rec
ognized. The meeting was held with closed
doors. J. n. A. Griswold, father of j.
n. Griswold, offered a resolution
censuring the committee. Several
speeches were made for the res
olution and Others against it and
the debate became quite lively. Young
Theodore Roosevelt prevailed upon Griswold
to withdraw his resolution and substitute
one declaring it inadvisable to question pro-
posers of candidates for admission how tho
candidates voted at the last election. BY a
rising vote this substitute was decided car
ried, though many members say that the
vote was very close. No action was taken
toward resembling an old regulation requir-
ing the committee to ascertain the political
complexion of the proposed members. The
names of Haven and GriSwold were not re-
ported by the membershiS committee.

Carbon Advocate Prizo.

Z
Last fall, II. V. Morthin e., editor of the
CARBON ADVOCATE, placed IN my HANDS
four splendid bucks to be given to four
pupils in four OF our schools, the pupils
thus receiving the books to have made the
highest class-record in their respective
schools during the first four months Of the
term. The custom Of giving priz's to sue
cessiul students has prevailed in schools
and colleges for centuries, and in all parts
of the civilized world. And while some
have placed prizes among,t the list Of
doubtful Incentives, our own observation in
THIs case would not warrant such a con
clusion. From the very start there was
healthy emulation in these schools which
WAS kept up to the time for awarding these
prizes. The names of the successful pupils
and their class record is as follows.
Granmer school-Emma Mertz, G d.
vision class record 0S. intermediate school
Title Buss, a division, class record 9s
Secondary school Ne. ELLA Walck. B
division, class record 90. Secondary school
No. Carrie Ruff, B division, class record
81, In behulfof the teachers Of these schcoIs
and the pupils to whom these books were
awarded for their exceptional good record,
return my sincere thanks to Mr.. Morthi-
mer for the ADVOCATE Priza, and for the
friendly and generous way he remen. bers us.

Shall We Have Water 3

in conversation with our most prominent
citizens and business men during tho week
VIC find all Of them, Democrats and Republl-
cans, determined to vote for no man, at the
coming borough election, who is not in favor
ofa good water supply 1t is a thinY we have
repeatedly urged and are pleased to find that
our citizens have at last awakened 10 the fact
that an adequate water supply in the town is
dire necessity, A correspondent to the
ADvoCATE, few weeks ago gave facts and
H. ures based upon an actual survey and
proved conclusively that we have three
sources from which to obtain the necessary
supply, and at q cost of not more than s.5,-
90, in either case.
Now since such is the case why not call q
meeting of our ctizens to discuss the subject
and pass resolution putting tho matter to
vote at the coming election? Now is tho
time to act. Do not wait until there is
danger of a water famine or until the town
isreduced to ashes by fire. 1t is a serious
matter and no mistake. II fire were to
break out during high wind the town is
doomed, for there is no water, no fire aupara.
