FIGHTS FOR TAX MAN.
Mrs. Mackay Tells Voters to Ask A

Mrs. Mackay Tells Voters to Ask AS
SCISSOR to Raise Rates.
New York, Aug. 2.-Everyone should
ask the tax collector to run up his or
her tax bill as high as the official
thinks he can do conscientiously for
the sake of the schools.
Deep, dark, cavernous cellars of the
seventeenth century type have no BUSH
ness to be located beneath school
houses and the members OF the school
board are mean old things because
they won't admit it.
With these as the main pianks in her
platform. Mrs. Clarence n. Mackay
expects to be elected to membership in
the school board of Roslyn, Long Is
land, today, by the largest vote ever
given candidate.
The entire community is interested
in the fight, as never before in its
slumbrous, uneventful history. Mrs.
Mackay's running mate is John T..
Remsen, keeper Of the principal livery
barn.
by Mrs. Mackay are tersely set forth as
follows:
1. The light in the school building
COMES over the right
ders instead of their left.
2. The children ought to be taught
manual training.
3. Everybody ought to be only too
glad to be taxed high for the schools.
4. The basement of the central
school building is dark deep, unven-
tilated, insanitary cavern, even if the
old members of the board don't think
SO.
Mrs. Mackey's last statement to the
voters is in the form Of a letter, as
follows:
IF am elected to the Roslyn board
of education shall try as far as it lies
in my power to see that the necessary
Improvements are made without delay.
''Of course I can do nothing unless
you and every thinking member on the
poll list help me by working with me
in this undertaking. I count upon you
showing your interest in the welfare
of the coming generation, as we'll as
your belief in my earnestness of pur-
pose, by casting your vote for me at
the school house on Wednesday,"
Mrs. Mackay, it is believed, will be
victorious The school children are
electlOneer1ng Tor nef, ana IL is De-
lieved their appeals will be needed.
But Mrs Mackay has strong opposi-
ton in what are termed the shell
backs" who fear that she will intro
duce fads. The opposition Furthermore
handicaps her with an opponent in the
person of DR.. p D. Legs, who has been
on the board for fifteen years, and has
the support of DR.. j. H. Bogart, pres
ident of the board. But the women
of Roslyn are allowed to vote, and 1t
is said that they are nearly unit in
fa1,o, of Mrs Mackay

Specfal to Times -Republican.
Muscatine, Iowa, Aug. 2-That
the Muscatine North and South
will build to Burlington and ultimely
build north until Dubuque is
reached were the facts brought out at
the meeting of the business men of
Burlington last evening which was adj
dressed by Manager Howard and Hen
ry Jane of this city. The Burlington
people seemed enthusiastic at the
meeting last evening and a committee
will be appointed in couple of days
to raise the necessary $4,000, the
amount to be raised by that city. This
money Is to expended for terminals
in Burlington. 1t is not a bonus from
Burlington, but an aid to get this road.
In the course of the remarks made by
Manager Howard and Mr.. Jayne of
Muscatine it was learned that the ulti-
mate aim of the road is to build
from Muscatine north to Upton and
to Dubuque, putting this road in direct
connection with every trunk line that
crosses the state east and west.

URGES STORAGE OF GRAIN.
Royal Commissions Report on Cues.
ton Of Food Importation.

ROYAL Commissions report on 0ueS'
ton Of Food Importation.
London, Aug. 2.-The royal commits
sion under the presidency of the prince
of Wales, appointed in April, 1903. to
study the question of the importation
of food in time of war and other sim
liar subjects, has just presented its re-
port to parliament. The contents OF
the report have not yet been published.
but on the whole it is understood they
are reassuring. The main report
which is concurred in by all the COM
missioners, concludes that there is no
cause for apprehension CT uneasiness,
because it would be virtually impos-
sible, noting the adequacy of the fleet,
for the whole of the British coasts to
he blockaded simultaneously. At the
same time the commissioners do not
discourage the experiment in the di-
rection of the storage of grain for times
of emergency.
An important reservation almost
amounting to minority report, sign
ed by the duke of Sutherland, and some
others of the commissioners, points out
that at certain seasons of the year
there is only a six weeks reserve OF
grain stored in England and strongly
urges the Importance Of the adoption
of a national system of grain stor-
age.
