disposed to feel thankful. though un-
doubtedly If ii were we should, in the
course Of time, come TO accommodate
ourselves 10 the condition and wonder
how We could possibly have been happy
with anything different But for the
same reason that we are thankful that
we are not always shut up in a snow
bank. we are glad of the rare occasion.
A novelty is OF itself fetching. When
that novelty comes in a form to sus-
pend all our usual occupations and pro-
cedures. TO sidetrack our ordinary
pursuits. TO strip us OF many of the
accustomed advantages OF civilization
and to deny US the opportunities of
mental and physical employment and
diversion which we have long come TO
regard as matters of course, there is a
wonderful exhiaration about IL. a keen
ness of pleasure that is incomparably
fine. providing only -that-nn real hurt

Indeed. to be occasionally deprived of
having things your own way, especially
IL the things are the particular things
that YOU are accustomed to have your
own way, is So the philosophic soul, a
rather good thing. Most of us have
times of disappointment in this respect,
but one should be elevated rather than
depressed thereby and take the expert
ence i'm good part. The following COM
munlcation, however seems 20 suggest
that there is one group of fellows who
consider themselves authorized by law
to never be moved from their own way:
Providence. L.. l., Nov. %.
To the Editor OF The News:
| cannot agree with YOU that the posi-
tion Of the Board of Canvassers IN the
matter OF the aldermanic count IN ward
10 is "a good one. IL seems To me that
you are not fully acquainted with the
circumstances of that case. IL should
be remembered that Mr.. Covell secured
n plurality by the count of MaTdens
and clerks who were politically opposed
10 him. and you may be sure they
counted the ballots with Jealous care.
Moreover, IL appears that In the count
of the Board Of CanVassers every lden-
tiCal vote that Mr.. CoVell lost, Mr.. West
gained--one i'm the first district two IN
the second district and three IN the
third district. without rejecting upon
the integrity Of the Board. | ask: Was
this not n peculiar coincidence so pecu-
liar. indeed that a revision might rea-
sonably be asked for? The friends of
Mr.. Covell are not satisfied. Many OF
the friends of Mr., West even do not
accept the count as conclusive DO you
think it's n good thing, Mr. Editor, to
have the Board OF Canvassers stand on
it's dignity when there is a doubt in the
public mind as to the accuracy OF the
count? To separate the ballots into
two lots with relation only TO the votes
cast for alderman would consume little
time and would demonstrate the cor
rectness of the count or the contrary.
IL remember right. recounts were not
at all unusual when the aldermen used
to perform that duty. | recall one in-
stance when ballots were counted five
times before final decision was made.
1t seems TO me that the Board of can
vasscrs cannot afford to be bumpticus
in such n matter. and that there rs
nothing i'm their position TO make the
public confident in the correctness or
close count The Board is but human
i'm it's makeup. and 10 err Is human.
The chances are accordingly greater
that any count they can make would be
incorrect moro often than correct If
there is any doubt in the minds of any
body as to the Covell-West count, the
reasons advanced by the Board have
no bearing ON it unless they serve TO
dispel such a doubt The Board gives
reasons why it will not make n re-
count. but IL presents no argument to
demonstrate the accuracy OF the count
already made or TO make the public
feel confident that its figures are cor
