LIGHT TINE TOWN.

The lights that at night illumin'
ate the streets Of Caldwell do not
dazzle. They barely flicker. This
gives our town dark eye, at least,
dark night. and bespeaks an alb
sence Of that energy and enterprise
which in past times has distin-
guished Caldwesll from all rival
towns wheresoever lying, being or
situated.
We believe that majority of the
people favor better lighted streets
and would be glad to see the Mayor
and City Council take steps to-
wards the accomplishment of that
end.
Sometime ago a committee of the
council was appointed to make
some investigations with a view to
ascertain the feasibility of putting
in a city electric plant. We do not
know what progress has been made
in that direction, but if city plant
isimpracticable, some arrangements
might be made with the private
plant now in operation.
It has been suggested, and with
reason, that being that the city has
already an adequate power plant.
1t would involve but comparatively
small expense to put in a dynamo
and string wire enough to light the
streets. We believe Mayor Steun-
enberg is inclined to favor that
plan. 1t would seem that it could
be soon ascertained which would
be the cheaper, putting in city
plant or purchasing light from Mr..
Sebree.
The report is that Mr.. Sebree de-
'llands an exorbitant price. The
truth of that report has never, we
believe, been verified by any public
official statement emanating from
the city authorities. Again, the
price asked by Mr.. Sebree must be
considered in its relation to cost of
production. We take it, from the
prices now charged private individ-
uals. that the cost of production is
extremely high in Caldwell, so high
indeed, that many who have wired
their houses will be obliged to 90
back to coal oil and gasoline unless
there be made a substantial red NC. |
ton in rates.
The people would like to see
Mayor Steunenberg take up this
matter and push it with his usual
vigor to the end that if the town
can be more economically lighted
by a city plant than by the private
plant, that be installed.

Herran treaty for construction of
the Panama canal was rejected,
Panama would withdraw. The
treaty was rejected and avowedly in
order to extort more money from
the United States and to blackmail
the French company. The Bogota
politicians believed they could make
20 millions more by rejecting the
treaty, and they took the chance in
face of Panama's threat. There is
not a single fact to indicate that
President Roosevelt OF any one con
nected with his administration did
a single thing to encourage the
withdrawal of Panama, nor that he
or they perferred an improper, i'll
advised or hasty act afterwards.
The record is clean and straight.
The fact is that the big capitalistic
combinations, banks, trusts and
railroads, having failed to make a
tool of Theodore Roosevelt, have
made up their minds to replace
him with Grover Cleveland or some
one else to their liking and they are
combining with the Democratic
party to bring about that result.

FACTS IN THE GASES

How much of the criticism of
President Roosevelt is ignorant
and dishonest may be judged from
the following facts: In the case Of
Brig. Gen. Leonard Wood who has
been nominated for major general,
it is charged, iterated add reiterated
with every degree of energy and
malignity, that he was picked out
and undeservedly promoted over
the heads of hundreds of more de-
serving officers to the great demon
alization of the army. The facts
are that General Woods leap was
made three years ago on the recon-
mendation of President NICK inlev,
duly confirmed by the Senate, and
his present nomination by President
Roosevelt is in the regular line of
advancement, carrying with it over
a hundred other promotions, all of
which the President has recon-
mended.
1t is charged that while in Cuba
General Wood granted a gambling
concession for consideration; that
is, accepted bride. The fact is he
stopped the city of Havana from
granting it. It is charged that
General Wood invented and en-
forced laws against Rathbone of
Cuban postal frauds fame, with ex-
treme severity out of a malicious
spirit. The facts are, everyone of
those laws of which Rathbone's
friends complain, was Promulgated
by the Secretary of War under the
direction of President Mckinley be-
fore Rathbone's defaication. These
instances are fair samples of many
falsehoods which are made the
grounds for criticising President
Roosevelt.
OF the same order are the grounds
upon which are based criticism
OF the Presidents dealings in the
Panama affair. People who desire
to be halfway just should know
that the compact between Colon
bia and Panama existed on the
specific and written understanding
that Panama might withdraw and
go upon its own hook whenever it
saw proper SO to do. AS long ago
as last July or August representa-
tives of Panama informed the gov
ertment at Bogota that if the Hay

PIRATES SLUMP NOT
DUE TO POOR PITCHING
ST. Louis Sporting News.

ST. Louis Sporting News
Statistics show that the low standing OF
the Pittsburg club is due to the inferior bat
ting and bad fielding and not to poor pitch
ing, as the public has been led to believe
This would indicate that there is ground
for the opinion that the spirit of the Ma
tional League champions was broken by
their loss of the worlds series of 1903. The
gamblers. who have infested the Pittsburg
park for years, have made the players mis-
erable by hooting at them from the stands
and encouraging patrons to dissatisfaction
and disapproval Every baseball club has
its losing streaks during which its patrons
are eStranged, but squirt will soon win
them back But success does not stop the
gamblers from attacks on teams or individ-
uals. They have only a sordid interest in
the pastime and its exponents and always
root roast their bets are placed. They
are a menace to the games integrity and
should be driven out of every park in which
ii is played. There is no other way to Sc
cure protection against them. The newspa-
pers of Pittsburg should commence cru
sade against these parasites and aid the
officials of the club and law in bringing
them to justice.

DISCIPLINE IS NEEDED.

The indianapolis baseball players seem to
be about the worst in-and-outers in the
American Association. One day they play
phenomenal game OF ball and the next aft
ernoon they lose through miserable work
in the field and dopey pitching. The game
in Kansas City Friday must have been
horrible exhibition on the part of the
Hoosiers and it followed such remark
ably fine contest by them I'm milwaukee,
Baseball fans have little criticism to offer
when a game is lost by a narrow margin
and the players go through the battle fight
ing every inch of the way, but they cannot
tolerate grumpiness on the part of the
players and a don't-care sort OF spirit. 1t
looks as if there might be some dissension
in the ranks of the Indianapolis team and
to this cause might be laid some Of the de-
feats encountered on the present western
trip. From this distance it appears as if
there should be stricter discipline and Man
ager Phillips should take steps to stamp
out any petty jealousies that might exist
among the players and to prevent dopey
plays on the part of the men who do not
seem to have the welfare of the team at
heart No matter how strong the team
might be individually it will never win a

shrk their duties and do not enter into the
contests with the intention of doing their
best both individually and collectively.
With the exception of one or two places
every position is occupied by a strong play
er, but the best work cannot be secured
from the men if there is dissension in the
ranks. One or two men on the team can
upset the calculations and plays of the en-
tire aggregation if the player or players do
not give their best support at all times. 1t
seems that the worst fielding errors are
made when certain pitchers are in the box
and it might be possible that those twirl-
ers represent one faction and the players
who commit vile misplays the other side.
II this is true Manager Phillips could do
we'll TO assess a few fines and make the
players realize that they must give their
best efforts TO the club. The team has
shown that it can put up a frst-class arti
Gle of ball and had 1t played during the
western series as it did in few games
better record would have been made. The
team will not return home until May q.
and it is hoped by that time that Manager
Phillips will have the men under better con-
troll
