There was an article some time ago
in the Forum about park for johnson
City. For scme time Recorder Pou.
der and others have salked of the block
between Watanga aad Myrtle avenues
and between Stuart and and Baxter
Streets as fine place for a small park.
This is owned by different parties and
would cost much more now than theee
years ago There is beautiful piece
of woodland across from the Taylor
residence, which would require little
labor to make an ideal park. There is
also the beautiful grove on the grounds
of the old lake Waiassee. Will the
Monday Club kindly suggest some.
thing? We want to attract good citi.
zens here to do this We need, first,
good churches. second, good schools;
third, good streets; fourth, beauty.
The churches are already at work.
The Episcopalians are getting ready
to build on the corner Of Myrtle avae.
nHe and Roam Street. The NJ. L.
Church are planning for the neer future
The ladies of the w. A. Presbyterian
Church are trying to make the church
lot as attractive vs they can. The Bap
lists are working hard for their chapel.
The bonds ought to put the schools in
good shape and start the streets on the
way they should go, ie, out of the
mud, but who will remember that we
shall waut play places and that every
year Will make them harder to get.
Who will suggest or start something
more?
We want a park. We need a park.
We must have a park. WhyY That
in hot weather there will be a pretty
green spot, where we can 60 and loaf
and enjoy ourselves with all the inhu-
ences to make for happiness around us.
Where we can see the children at play,
where where those who have no beau
ty at home can find it, and seeing it,
go home and plant a flower, or tree,
or a tree, or vine. There should be
one section with no keep off the
gras" sign but place for games and in
moment entertainments. The question
of the future ofthe boys and girls Is to
be decided and nothing can do more
good to all classes than a place where
all can go and find themselves cheered
and bettered thsreby. Keep talking
and by and by some one will do some
thing, perhaps.

To the Editor OF THE COMET;
Mr.. Burbage'S Candidacy for RepreSen-
tive
When we are called upon to select
one to represent our interests in any
matter of Importance we naturally
enough decide upon the man who, in
our opinion, possesses the best qualifi-
cations for the duties that are 10 de-
volve upon him, if such man is to be
bad. Now, in the matter of politics,
the best man is not always to be had
and we find it hard, often impossible,
to agree upon him when he is to be
had.
Mr. George e. Burbage is among
those who have recently announced
their candidacy for Representative
from Washington county, and I have
him in mind as the best qualified man
for the place that has announced him
self. Particularly at this time when
the temperance people are making war
on the liquor men, would Mr.. Burbag-
els services as Representative be of
great value because of his demands up
on whiskey sellers for unconditiona
surrender. His fearless conduct as
City Editor of the johnson City STAFF
and his views on the liquor question
already made public and in which
know him to be absolutely sincere, ar,
in themselves enough to strongly re.
commend him to all who sdvocate Oh
believe in temperance.
While Mr.. Burbage stands out pre-
eminently as the temperance candidate
there are more planks than onein his
platform. In every sense he is thor
oughIy progressive. He has alread,
told us, not after the fashion of the pol
itician but straight from the shoulder
how he will stand on present issues

MR. Mupn ELEcTEp

The election of Sydney +. Mudd as
Congressman from the Fifth Congress
sional district is not surprise to
many Democrats. Mr. Mudd stood
upon his past record and his victory
was assured from the first. To offset
the deserved popularity of the Repub-
lican candidate the managers had at
tempted two novel devices whereby to
increase the chances of the Democratic
candidate. The first device or
scheme" was characterized by the
Republicans as the fake nomina-
tions of Sydney 0. Mercier. candidate
of the Reputation" party, and of
John f. Mudd, as candidate of the
Independent Republican" party.
The second device was conceived in
the brains of the supervisors and
known as the sliding scale" where
by the position of the Democratic
nominees ON the ticket we're fixed and
those of the Republicans slid from
top to bottom.
The result of the first scheme I'M
doubtedly brought many voters to
Congressman Mudd's support, although
John e. Mudd obtained about 25
votes in the three city wards of An
napolis. The sliding scale resulted
in the net loss to the Republicans of
possibly 100 votes in Annapolis and
$50 in the county, making total of
400 votes, thereby reducing Mr..
Mudd's normal majority in this city
by that number.
Mr.. Mudd's value as representa-
tive of this district can hardly be
overestimated. His ten years of ac-
tive participation in the affairs of the
government has made him leading
figure along certain lines of govern
mental action, This is notably true
in his value to the country, to this
state aud to this city as leading MEM
Der of the naval committee of the
House.
Whether he can justly claim TO be
the originator of the governmental ey-
penditure at the Naval Academy or
not, makes little difference, in view of
his recognized advocacy of this meas
IRE from the start, and his announced
determination to see that the appro.
priations should continue until
Annapolis would be the recognized
naval school of the world.
Mr.. Mudd's return co Congress.
therefore. is but an earnest of the faith
that voters of all political creeds
have in his interest in our local well
fare, as well as a recognition of his
past efforts along the same lines.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ELECTED

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ELECTED
IL is all over, even 10 the shouting
and Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt is elected
President of the United States by the
voice of the American people.
For three years and two months
MIR. Roosevelt has been the Chief Mag
istrate Of this Republic by accident,
only. The untimely death by assas.
sination of President Mckinley made
him President, but yesterday it was
the unanimous vote of the people who
chose him to rule this grand and glo.
rious Republic.
1t was a sweeping Republican vic
tory and Roosevelt and Fairbanks will
be President and Vice President for
the next four years. beginning March
!, 1905.
We are not a biased or prejudiced
people, and we who are Democrats
will take our medicine cheerfully.
Much as we should have preferred Mr..
Parker for the Chief Magistrate of
the United States, it behooyes us one
and all to support the government and
to uphold the hands of the President,
whatever his political complexion may
be, so long as he does what is right
and what is best for the country he
governs.
Mr. Roosevelt's policies in the past
three years have not been what they
were expected to be by many. Nor
did he follow in the footsteps of his
predecessor along the lines of govern
ment, but he has his good qualities,
aside from his imperialistic tendencies
and his views on expansion.
1t is hoped in the next four years
President Roosevelt may so conduct
the affairs of this nation that the
American people may not regret hay
ing given him yesterday the over
whelming victory which he received.
of which he may prove himself
worthy. He can only prove his
strength by the character of his adj
ministration. So long as he governs
according TO the mandates of the Con-
stitution of the United States, just so
long will the people, both Democrats
aud Republicans be satisfied, but as
soon as the President departs from
these, the people will become anxious.
