INTERVIEWS.

Below are given short interviews with
many OF salem's best business men,
citizens and taxpayers, with reference
TO the present administration OF city
affairs, all Of which speak well for the
same. Among them are not few who
did not support the movement year
ago, but after the showing that has been
made they cannot refuse 10 accept the
results. Many more who are timid
about publishing matters, endorse what
has been done and give their unqualified
support, but do not care TO be quoted.
The plain truth is the sentiment for
good city government is almost unani-
nous.
A. N. Moores--We should have a
ticket that will be guarantee OF con-
tinuing the good methods Of the present
administration. The present regime
has given excellent satisfaction, espec-
tally 10 tae taxpayers.
R'J. Fleming-I think considerable
money has been saved the past year
aud that the city's affairs have been
carefully handled.
N. j. Damon--The Bishop administra-
tion has been the cleanest, most prOgree.
siye, economical and business-like that
Salem has had within my knowledge.
A. Bush--I favor non-partisan adj
ministration OF municipal affairs. II
cann0rt be denied that It's trial In Sa.
lem has beeh successful.
+. 4. Carey, manager for the Salem
branch Of the Mitchell, Lewis 4 SiayeI
Colt has been success financially
And any man who has 'taxes 10 pay
ought 20 endorse the present council
with his vote.
j. q. Wilson, favor the admnistra.
tlon as far IL keeps within lis income
What we can't pay for we should dc
without. Don't favor selling part Of the
park for a post Office site.
.. T. Northcutt---t think it's oil right

The present administration should he

when he renewed his pledges to con-
tune the good work. Tom Burrows said
he would try to do as well as he did last
year, but like Mr.. Buren he was no
speech maker and begged TO be excused.
lie was given hearty applause.
Judge Boise was called out. He gave
Citizens movement a cordial support
last year and the veteran iurist got a
rousing reception. The only account
rendered by partisan officials to party
was in the nature OF a campaign assess
ment. Before this movement began a
year ago il was seriously talked that the
city would default on its interest and
bonded debt That danger point was
passed The practice of the past was to
run the city in debt. This council was
running it out of debt. Soon IL would
become desirable to own property and
capital would seek our city TO invest in
enterprises. 1t was encouraging to learn
that we were getting to be able to see
our way out. Let us not 90 back. We
have the elements that will make us
prosperous. All we have to do is to 20
in the direction we have started.
John A Jeffrey was called out and
said the people of Salem seemed to know
what they want and knew how TO get it
and the majority on Monday would
show that they have got it.
II was no time for rhetoric or eloquence
When taxes got down so that a business
man found it safe TO invest, they would
prefer to come TO the Capital City OF the
state.
DIR. J.W. Mere lith and John NJ Payne
heartily endorsed the movement. On
motion Of DR.. Cusick the convention
thanked the officials for the honest and
economical management OF city affairs
for the past year.
The chair appointed a committee OF
three on literature with full power to
act, that shall be placed in the hands Of
voters as follows: n. J. Judah, r. p.

and would spring some new tricks.
There was not much danger Of the
city being colonized at this coming

should be made success again and

Drawn at Night.

The architect and his friend the builder were driving back to tho formers office. They had been out to the edge of the city to look at some work on which they were engaged. As they drove by certain house the build CT looked up at it proudly, saying: "There is a house that I built myself. I not only built it, but I drew all the plans. Every bit of work in it is mine." The architect looked at the house and smiled in provoking way. The builder noticed the smile and looked at the house in new light. How hard I worked on that!" he said. Tn the day. time I had to do something else, but every night I would sit up late drawing on those plans. 1 drew on 'em every night for month." The architect looked at the house again and smiled once more, and the builder saw him. Again he turned his eyes toward tine product of his brain, twisting his neck to squint at it after the carriage had passed it. Then he looked at the archi- tect with humility. 'It looks as if those plans were drawn at night, doesn't it ?" he said, and there was pathos in his yoice-Worcester Gazette.

 With nervous haste Gertrude took off her dainty petticoat, which Mary promptly tore and rigged. "Now," she this here flag of ourn all you're wuth."
 Mary desperately bent to the oars. There was dark spot across the water, which seemed to Gertrude but a patch of blacker cloud, but Mary knew it for what it was. Soon the others recog- nized it, too, for they cried together: "A schooner!"
 A man ran the length of the vessels deck; then a second man appeared; and as Mary, exerting her last bit of strength, drove the dory within reach, a rope was thrown to her, which she caught and fastened to the painter.
 The man drew the dory alongside and lifted out the children. God bless us my Mary!" cried one of them.
 Never was ship more welcome than was that little fishing schooner when it came to anchor again in the cove.
 Mrs. Ellerton, after her first trans port of joy, drew Capt. Mary close and kissed her freckled face again and again.
