Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-03-26

New York has just voted a consti- tutional amendment ordering the issue of s50,O00, 1000 of state bonds for highway improvement, carrying an interest charge of 3 per cent per annum and one of per cent for a sinking fund, to be issued to the amount of $5,000,000 annually for ten years, and to be paid, principal interest and sinking fund.-. by the state and the counties and towns, where applied in the proportions of 50 per cent by the state, 35 per cent by the counties and 15 per cent by the towns. The general plan is the outcome of long and careful study, based on experience in Massachusetts and elsewhere, and it seems worthy of the closest study by the legislators and people of the whole country. It is impossible for every farmer to have railway station on his farm. Iol tuC SiCdI ludJOilty oi tuCin thS public highways of the country must forever remain for greater or lesser distances the only means of getting their products to home markets or to the great steam arteries of com merce-the railways or the rivers O, canals. In New York the authoriza, tion of the work is confidently ex. pected to add at least s10 per acre to the value of the farm lands affected and the Mississippi valley would Dc of necessity relatively greater. Fo! every dollar of tax paid for the pur pose enhanced values would be count ed in scores of dollars within a sin gle lifetime.

 Whats the use?" growled the pes- simist. "The warm weather has kept the lakes open and all we saved on coal will go next summer to pay the increased price of ice."-Philadelphia Ledger.

for Franchise.
OPEN LETTER TO Tug coloRGD
VOTERS OF COLORADO.

Dear Sir-Franchise grabbing Is not
intended to give lessons in the Golden
Rule, and therefore 1t is not usual to
apply rigid rules Of right and wrong to
promoters. But it has remained for
the Automatic Telephone Company to
overstep the bounds and resort
to downright Misrepresentation to
bolster up its cause Through its pres
ident, F. H. Stow, 1t says, in a circular
addressed to colored voters:
Another point wish to inform you
on is that one Of your acknowledged
papers and one Mr.. ]. W. jackson, We
understand, have agreed TO deliver all
Of the colored taxpayers to the Colo
RADIO Telephone Company in order to
defeat our franchise"

SO thoughtless as 10 be voted by my
self or any other man In any particular
direction. willy nilly, without regard TO
their interests For MIR. Stow to use
such an insinuation, ascribing the pre-
sumption to me, is to convice himself
Of having no appreciation Of the grand
struggle Negroes are making up from
poverty, nor of our self-relianace or
business acumen. Did he know better.
he would seek some stronger argu.
ment for his franchise than the resent.

letter. The impossibility of delivering

II 10 = pleasure to know that the
great issues at stake have been seen
clearly by colored voters. They ap-
preciate as no white men can that the
courts are the safeguards Of our insti.
tutions and that they ought rot be
made the subject for partisan review.
Having suffered In the southern states
because courts there are the creatures
OF popular will. they will not consent
for the same condition to obtain here.
Then again, It is pleasure to ac-
quiesce In the results of the last Legis-
lature's work. Whether one under
stands the methods pursued or not.
whether he knows the evidence or not,
It certainly Is patent what the result
has been. Even Democrats had three
separate reports as to the result OF the
election. and with doubt In their mind
no count Of the vote two years ago
was more than guess work and upon
the head Of Alya Adams was visited
all the sins Of his party. No one de-
mics Its foul record. no one denies the
good result that has come out Of his
deposition. and the people Of the state
are content to 20 no further.
When It comes to the oficers who
have served US SO faithfully for the
past two years, We could rest their
case upon the one statement that even
the opposition has found nothing to
accuse them Of. 1t is true that Char
ley Thomas has been dug out Of the
Democratic scrap heap to make
charge that they have favored corpor-
ations by not collecting state tax.

the same had been true for 1--WE

He is a Christian gentleman, whose

he did all the could by argument and

was unknown until after the campaign
was In full swing. for NO colored per

No doubt had II been known earlier

A number of United States officials have been on the downriver steamers the past few days. All of them, and particularly those connected with the district court, were quick to inquire for news regarding the senate's action in the Wickersham matter, or if any inti- nation had been received as to the probable time of the adjournment of congress. Of course there was nothing to tell them.
 The general belief is that the senate will not act regarding Judge Wicker sham, and that the president will re- appoint him after adjournment.

INTERESTING LETTER
 FROM DR. GIBBONS

w. w. Crockett recently received q very newsy letter from Dr. C. H. Gib- bons, dated Seward, May 24. The letter was primarily intended to make known the fact that the writer had mailed a number of plays which the Arctic Brotherhood may utilize in the future in entertainment at Rampant.
 The doctor wrote that the Seward camp of the brotherhood had played Nevada the week before and scored a big success. The camp has 126 members and Dr. Gibbons is the present Arctic chief.
 Interesting quotations are made from the letter regarding coast matters as follows:
 Seward is all l hoped to find it-in fact rather more. Just now everything is quiet, but that is on account of the railroad being almost at a standstill un- til the tunnels are finished, which will not be until late this season. Windy Jim formerly of Rampant is agent at the end of the track, and is quite popu- lar not only with the boys, hut with the officials also. fear. however, his health k breaking down."
 The letter continues; "A new railroad k being started from Cor,lova Bay about iOo miles east of here, which books as fl it meant business.

 The Married Men and the Single Men crossed bats on the new ball grounds Sunday afternoon, and had Schaber not made bad throw to second the last round, the married men would have hut the single fellows out
 George Woods was on the rubber for the mated ones, and pitched a good, steady game and kept the hits we'll scattered.
 The singles put Sam Harper up to do the trick, but when the benedicts scored two in the first, Ben Mayo was put in the box and Harper went behind the bat The husbands soon solved Benny's curves and it was all over but the cheers.
 In the first, Woods famed. Schaber was hit and stole second. Like born thief Bob took third in the same way and scored on Gohress hit Isom hit the air three swats and sat down. Smith singled, scoring Chores. Stanley struck out, retiring the side.
 The young fellows went out in order, and neither side scored in the second.
 In the third Schaber damned one past short and scored on Ghores's hit. The kids were in cold storage by this time and failed to get to second.
 Woods got busy and ripped out sin gle in the fourth, stole second and scored on Schabers safe hit. Bob trotted down to the middle sack on the throw, stole third and scored on Gphres's hit to left. Smith smashed one that was little too tropical for Joe Bush. Frank then caused Mrs. Smith to blush with shame the way he purloined second John which Lee Mayo accepted, and Old Man Smith was killed at third, making two out, Isom having died at the plate. Carlo was next to bat, and Stanley wore pleased look, expecting to get d chance to swell the score; but Carlo tanned, retiring the side.
 The kids thawed out a little in the fourth and saved themselves a shut-out but only on an error by Schaber. Ben Mayo hit safe and started for second on the throw. Schaber threw low and gave tine boys their only chance to score. Lee Mayo hit the air and sat on the bench. Harper found the ball and was safe. Joe Bush damned one, Mayo and Harper scoring the runs that saved the kils shut-out. Collins hit safe. Bacr hit liner and Woods made great stop, the star play of the day, throwing Baer out.
