FAIRHAVEN I
say So. said the governor. My wife and |
daughter want me to 60 to Europe, but
feel that the people have honored me as {
the first governor and am willing, II my {
health holds out TO retain my office until
the end of the term. but whether remain
or resign | am not and never will be a
candidate again for any office whatever"
/ When the fact is generally admitted
I that the heir to the throne of as great
country as England has no mission in the
world except to preside at swell dinners
and club receptions it is high time to
abolish the throne and everything else
connected Herewith. The idea of Eng
land holding on To her royal family after
il is widely advertised that it is an eX-
penSiye luxury, cannot be understood by
free Americans. But that the family |
should even be designated as a luxury is |
beyond our comprehension. II the penu
rious queen. the idle prince of Wales. his |
son who enjoys the title of collars and |
cuffs together with other royal loafers /
are luXuries we are at loss TO know why |
they are SO considered. In this country 1
they would be considered intolerable
nuisances
It might be persistently asked WHY are
the democrats so bitterly opposed TO the
! election bill Il they are in favor of free
I vote and fair count as they profess to
= be. The truth of the whole matter is that
, the democrats know that fair and just
n election law is not what they want in the
! south. Any law that will enable the negro
To cast his ballot without fear of being
I, bulldozed or violently assaulted will be
q opposed every time by the democratic
: leaders OF the south. They well know
II that whenever We get a free vote and an
d honest count the south will be no longer
Is solidly democratic. hence their bitter OPP
, position to just and reasonable legislation
!, upon the subject.
y. The city council. sitting as a board of
y equalization. has not. 81 far. received a
'e complaint from any one of too great an
assessment. Indeed. the only complaint

n
n, erty has been assessed ON his account
h, which he does not own. Yet there are
IA those who claim that the aggregate valua-
y. ton is too high. and ON that base their
a, kicks against taxation for school purposes.
: There j. only one way To keep some
of people from kicking. and that is to break
u their legs and do the legs up in splints.
=, Then they won't dare to kick
at Nothing contributes more to the stabi-
D" ity and prosperity of community. than
Ia. the ownership of homes by their occu-
rh pants. and nothing. 1t NAV be added. con-
e. tributes more to the ownership of homes
st by. people Of limited means. than the
a modern loan and building associations. Is
a. it not time that some such association be
