ain connection with this work is the
building of several miles of boulevard,
which will be completed this year. In
the number Of miles of asphalt paved

town in the country. There is tire

and an architectural triumph.
1T was built entirely by public sub.

owns it absolutely. With a seating ca

justly proud of possessing such an AS

Does Not End The Fight.

According to Lincoln {Neb. J dis
patch. William j. Bryan expressed no
surprise over the ratification of the
peace treaty and commented briefly on
the matter. When asked if he had
heard of the result, he said
Yes, but have not been able to
learn whether any Of the resolutions
were voted on.
Does this ratification of the treaty
end the fight against the annexation Of
the Philippines?
Not by any means, While many
have thought the fight should be made
against the treaty. have felt that the
real fight is to be made for resolution
declaring the national policy. The op
position TO the treaty has served useful
purpose, and the opponents of ratihca-
ti0n made a gallant fight. but there was
never any chance of defeating the ratifi-
cation. 1t looked for awhile like ratifi
cation might be prevented in this senate,
but the next senate was certain to ratify
Now that the treaty is ont of the way 1t

and the line can be drawn between those
