The Fourth street champion Of the
council has said nothing about the ex-
cellence of councilmanic business
methods since the hose affair came up.
1t has always been contended, and is
admitted by members of the fire COM
mittee and the council. that the best
offer the city ever had for fire hose
was the one she turned down, that of
sl.o5. for hose guaranteed to stand
four hundred pound pressure for five
years. There has been none to touch
it since, and the city has finally had to
buy 1000 feet of the hose after all

II the city would investigate the
assessments of some of its public OIL
GERS instead Of paying so much atten.
tion to those of some of our public
corporations, the taxpayers would get
better results. The telephone company
has been exorbitantly assessed, and the
council seems to be glad of it. The
city assessor first assessed the compa-
ny at IS, 1000. The board Of sapieut SUI
pervisors who know very little about
the value OF property Judging from
some of their "equalizations," found
out what the telephone company in
Lexington was assessed at, and based
its assessment of the local company on
that, making it $4,000 instead of
IS, The company promptly had
an inventory made showing that its
total taxable property, cost price, was
only $27, 900, which with . two-thirds
assessment would have required the
payment Of taxes on only SIS, 900.
This had little effect, however, on
the supervisors, but they did finally
oondesoend to reduce the assessment,
to $40, 900, still requiring the compa-
ny to pay on s22, 900 worth of prop
erty that it doesn't possess, as it has
shown ty the sworn statements of its
officers. 1t appealed to the council,
and was last night informed that the
supervisors settled such questions per-
manently, and the only way the COM
pany can secure redress is to go into
court.

THE REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK.

The text book for the Republican
campaign OF 1909 has Just been issued
by the committee at Washington, and
contains many quotations from the
speeches of the late President McKin-
ley, and President Roosevelt, and ex-
tracts from their messages 1t defines
the position on the trusts as follows;
1.-The attitude OF the,two great par
ties on the trust question Is clearly de-
fined. That of the Democratic party
looks to constsnt agitation with no re-
strictive Legislation; that of the Re-
publican party to such restriction as
wall prevent arbitrary advance in
prices or reduction in wages through
exclusive control, but not the destruc-
tion by legislation or injury by ficti-
tious agitation of legitimate enter
prise, through great manufacturing
systems by which production is cheap
ened, prices Of manufactures reduced
and permanency of employment as
sured.'' az
The Republicans, in this campaign,
~ they have in every other, will take
the position that the trusts have al
ways been more formidable in public
press and discussion than in real bust
ness. It contends that the Republicans
have as successfully IS possible en-
forced the antitrust law.
The question of imperialism" is
given due attention. The book re-
views the Philippine case from the
time that the United States acquired
the islands through the various vi
cissitudes of subjugation to the pres
emit day, and proves by many author
itative statements that the Filipinos
are not ready for self government. one
of the strongest supports of which is
Admiral Dewey's testimony before
the committee.
The book shows that the Republic
cans have done great deal in con-
eress. That their money policy is one
Endorsed by the best and the most peo-
pie in the land, that our diplomacy
in the Orient, especially that Of the
late President Mckinley, saved China
from Acknowledgement. 1t is shown that

the sudden disappearance Of Dock

General Jake Smith seems to be q
victim of the sickly sentiment that
is responsible for so much of the
newspaper rot going the rounds
relative to the "inhuman" treatment
Of Filirinos by the American soldiers.
General Smith has ventured to say q
little about il. He declares his re.
tirement was very unpleasant sur
prise to him. That he was never
cruel, but did at all times what he be-
lieved was the best thing for the ser.
vice. That is about the size of it.
The people who profess such an indy
ing love for the Filipino are those
who know least about him.
