WILL Be A CITY:
That's the Way Things Look
in Cranston Now.
People Will Probably Vote to Accept
The Proposition on May 10.

Although but little discussion has thus
far been indulged in, it is very evident to
the observer that the citizens OF the town
have decided that they will avail them
selves OF the privilege granted by the
Legislature, and vote the adoption of the
city charter. Thus far the opponents TO
the charter have not not adduced IN
argument OF any import, but have
contented themselves with the
thought that the agriculturists of
of the western end OF the town would
vote against the charter on the assump-
fion that municipal form OF government
must of necessity mean an increased rate
of taxation and a reckless expenditure OF
money for the benefit of the more thickly
populated portion of the town and for
which the whole town would have to pay.
1t was to do away with such extrava-
gance, and TO make more equable and just
the distribution OF expense, and TO give
each section OF the town equal representa-
tion in the affairs OF the town, that such
q change has been suggested, and need of
such change was fully demonstrated at
the late financial meeting, which appro-
pristed money lavishly, and in the same
breath, protested against floating bonds
20 carry out the provisions OF the appro-
priations.
While Cranston is not essentially busy
manufacturing centre, ii is without ex-
ception the most progressive and quickest
growing of any suburban district adjoin-
ing Providence. Large sums Of money
have been spent by the town in improv-
ing the highways, and Cranston can
boast OF more miles OF good roadway than
probably any other town in the State.
At the present time there is decided
boom in real estate, the different plats
that have been opened within year have
been successful TO a remarkable degree.
Miles OF new streets have been opened up
by these private enterprises. Gas and
water mains have been laid and the num-
ber of new residences attest to popularity
of Cranston by home seekers. The town
council has decided to call q special town
meeting Friday, May 10, when the voters
OF the town will decide whether they
shall enroll Cranston among the progress
sive new cities of the State or still con-
tinue under the old and over burdened
town meeting system with its attendant
evils.
Whatever the sentiment in different
parts of the town, 1t is eyeryKhers wholly
independent OF politics. Although by
reason of the circumstance of Republi-
can town government and Republican
General Assembly the proposition may
be said to have been Republican meas.
ure, the elements that have entered into
its consideration are entirely devoid of
politics. Indeed the actual drafting of the
bill was done by counselor Palmer, who
is Democrat, and Democrats who have
looked over the bill are perfectly satisfied
with Ii SO far as the political end OF il
goes, and the measure Is not liEely to be
either supported or opposed on political
grounds, but simply on its merits as affect
fng the interests of the various sections
Of the town.
just now it looks strongly as II the peo-
pie will adopt it.

NO ALLIANCE.
This Country Will Not Co.
operate.
An Independent Policy on the Eastern
Question Will Be Adhered TO.

WAsHINGToN, April '3o.--The attitude
Of the United States on the Eastern war
trouble has been made clear to the various
powers interested. In brief, 1t Is that the
unvarying policy of this country Is not to
form alliances which may involve it In
complications with the countries OF Eu-
rope or Asia.
It's reassertion OF the policy Of isola-
ton, except In SO far as this country may
be able to exert kindly or advisory In
huence toward the adjustment OF trouble
involving Eastern nations. The fore
going is now accepted by diplomats here
as tho policy which will guido the United
States in the pending European compllca-
tions over the Japan China settlement.
At one time within recent days there
was q prospect that the United States
might cooperate with Great Britain and
Italy in endeavoring to effect solution
OF the Japan China trouble and the bellig-
erent protest OF Russia, France and Ger
many. Such action, IL IL had been taken,
would not have been in the nature of
assistance to Japan, but merely an exer.
ton OF joint influence to persuade China
to ratify the peace agreement.
1t is said by diplomats that as Japan
has already ratified the agreement, SINH
lar action by China would make 1t ef-
fective While therefore. Russia. France
and Germany were protesting at Toxic,
the desire Of the other powers was 70
bring to bear their influences at Pekln.
lt Is known positively that Italy's
policy is that of a neutral power, but that
1t favors the execution of the Japan
China agreement as already made and TO
this extent its sympathies are with Japan
This will not. however go to the extent
OF opposing the Russo Franco German al.
lance.
1t Is understood that Great Britain's
course Is along the same lines So far as
the United States is concerned there will
be no cooperation, as already stated, ex-
cept in such kindly way as may seem
Tor the interest Of all concerned, but al.
ways short of an alliance or the possibili.
