The moment is opportune o r
guaranteeing the rights Of the pro-
perty owners. guarding their inte--
rests from administrative abuses and
for all time establishing law viii
ch the assessors will have to respect
so that the property owners will not
be-as is now the case-at the. mercy
of the caprices, the aggressions- and
attacks O funtionarles absolutely
inca pable and irresponsible:
Mr.. Diaz Navarro has introduced
in the Executive Council a bill to
amend Sections 7, IA and I8 Title
* of the Political Code and Article
$40 of the same.
He proposes to correct the mOnStrouS
defect which now exists and Which
we have denounced; h c eloquent
Councillor seeks to have established
a guarantee which is necessary in
order that there may be no REPETITION
ofrecent occurr ences which are fresh
in the memory of all and constitute
a veritable administrative blot.
We are inclined to think that the
capitalization made by Mr.. Diaz Ma
varro is too high, but this is defect
which can be easily corrected, mas
much as the distinguished author Of
the project-who proposes to put a
stop to the excesses of the assessors
will not be obstinate in defending
an exaggerated, almost fantastic,
figure.
With that necessary correction, the
project of Mr.. Navarro deserves una
nimous praise because it establishes
a guarantee to the property owners
nabling them to defend themselves
against the attacks of the trea sury
agent which up to the present time
they have not had.
In the general conscience and in
the minds Of the functionar les is
proved the injustice and unfairness
Of the property owners having to
bring a suit-at great expense-bec-
ause an inebriated tax asse ssor saw
it to raise the valuation of property
10 an absurd figure.
1t has been proved conclusively |
hat the valuation was unjust and
it has been clearly demons

 Wild Turksy bagged By Paty.

WASHINGTcN, aoY. 5.--Pfesidcnt and Mrs. Roosevelt have returned from Pine Knot, Va, where they went Wednesday lest, accompanied by Sur. geon General Rixsy and Private Secre- tary Latta. The party came in the special car Signet over the Southern railway.
 The president spent his entire tlnlt while at Pine Knot in hunting wild turkeys. He had never shot one, al though he often hunted them. His hunting companions were Dr. Rlxey and l. c. Bishop, local celebrity. Thursday, Friday and Saturday morn ings the start was made at o'clock and the hunt kept up all day. It was not until late Saturday afternoon, how. ever. that the president accomplished hls desire. He shot wild turkey, the only one shot during the three days of hunting
 The president returned to Washing ton feeling much invigorated from hie outing and decidedly pleased that ht l had added one more laurel to his hunt ing record.
 l Mrs. Roosevelt took several horse back rides, and as the weather through out was ideal the outing was pro nOunced q decided success.

FIVE HUNDRED MILLION. Value of WarsIlips that Will Float on Hampton Roads Next Year.

V
 Hampton Roads Next Year.
 Norfolk, Va, Nov 5.---In size, in cost and in grandeur the naval re- view which will be on constant view at the Jamestown Ter-Centennial ex- position to be held at Hampton Roads, near Norfolk. Va, will sur pass anthing of the kind ever held. A high official of the navy depart meM has estimated that at no time will there be less than $500, 100000 worth of naval ships floating on the waters of Hampton Roads. This may seem to the lay reader stupendous value to put on just one feature Of the great celebration. but when It IS remembered that nearly all warships above and including the third rate cost a million apiece and even de stroyers cost three-quarters of mil lion, with battleships and armored cruisers costing from three to ten millions, it will be seen at glance that the estimate is not too high.
 About twenty-five of the greatest nations on earth. including all the great maritime powers, have prom ised to send to the Jamestown exposi- tion contingents of their naval strength. This insures the coming ot the greatest naval fleet ever brought , together. England will, off course, send a mighty fleet alone and the other powers not to be greatly out done by the greatest naval power will also make great showing. SuD- marine boats win be present in great numbers and all the latest engines oi naval destruction.
 Aside from the purely naval fea' lures of the exposition there Will DC series of great yacht races in which every style and size of sailing craf' will contest. Cups have been or fered as prizes by the king of Eng | land. the emperor of Germany, Sii Thomas Lipton and President Roose' welt, all we'll known yachting enthud' asts.
 King Edwards cup will go to the winner of the international cham pionship races and the other cups i will go to the winner of major events of the long series of regattas whicf will last over period of nearly two months. Several weeks will also Dc taken up by the motor boat carniya which will be held off the piers of the exposition.
 Besides these events there will b. great rowing contests held under the auspices of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen and the exposi tion. There will be canoe races ana freak races. class designed especial Iy for the benefit of the builders oi freak racing craft.
 Lovers of tine water will hnt enough to keep them busy during the entire life of the exposition.

NO REPORTERS ALLOWED.
President Roosevelt is Going to Pana'
 ma Without Them.

ma Without Them.
 Washington, D. C.. Nov. 5.--News- paper correspondents who have ac- companied President Roosevelt on nearly all of his travels over the country wonder why it is that the president is going to the Panama canal zone without single repre- sentative of the press, in contrast to his previous methods of taking th< public, through the> newspapers, into his confidence.
 The speculation as to his change of method on the part of the presi- dent leads to more or less criticism, newspaper men declaring that the unsavory condition of affairs on the isthmus being such that the public ought to be posted.
 According to the present program there will not be a single press rep resentative with the president at any time during his journey, not even men from the three press associations that supply the newspapers of the country with most of their informa- tiOn.
 Attention Is called to the fact that Chairman Shonts and other members of the commission have gone on to Panama in advance of the president to get everything in good shape for his coming. Like the good house wife when company is expected, they will get everything as spick and span as the large force will permit. There are many people in Wash ington who think that the president Is anything but satisfied with the work that has been done on the canal and that his main object is to see just where the trouble lies Whether he will be able to do so in the comparatively short time he will be there can not be stated. Millions of dollars have been spent on the canal to this time and yet there is no appreciable material progress to show for it, according to numerous ] statements. beyond the sanitation measures that have been taken. the houses that have been built and sim liar preparations that have been
 made. As to actual canal digging opening of the great ditch, the show | ing is far from what many people
 think it ought to be.
 I A practical acknowledgement ol
 this. it is declared, is the recent adoption of plans for letting the con
 struction of the canal out to con tractors. turning 1t over to private | brains, energy and talent. Yet the government has an immense force
 of men on the isthmus and the ex'
 penditures for machinery and mater ial to carry on the work under govern
 ment supervision and control have been enormous. What is to become of much of the material the govern
 ment was to have used when private
 contractors take charge is not known here.
 Newspaper correspondents believe it would have been better had the
 president opened his visit and the
 secrets of the canal to publicity.

Democratic Ballots Missing.

A lot of rumors are af1oat to-day
 regarding the whereabouts of 250 democratic ballots removed from headquarters by Harry w. Minor, a commissioner of the department of public safety and also a member of the town committee. The ballots came to Waterbury consigned to ]. II. Freney. chairman of the demo- cratic town committee, and were placed in charge of couple of clerks at headquarters. Mir Minor dropped in yesterday and being a member of the town committee and a Jefferson ian democrat nobody questioned his right to take as many of the ballots as he choEe. The thing hadn't hap pened long until it came to the ears of Mir Freney and he immediately nut himself in communication with Mir Minor and demanded that the ballots he returned within certain time. The commissioner made no ob- lection to this and the understand Ing is that the missing ballots will De returned to headquarters tonight. lust what Mr Minor wanted with the ballots does not appear quite clear to some folks and as is customary on all such occasions many make no bones of putting the worst possible construction upon his conduct. But
 hat isn't fair. Mir Minor Is an at .orney and probably he thought it would be a safe plan to exarline a large number Of the ballots sO as to make sure that there was rot the re- hottest chance Of any of them being tasted in favor of Jacob D.

To the Democrats of Waterbury.

All democrats should be careful and take their tickets from the ticket booths. Spurious tickets are in cir curlation with pastors on them over the names of Wallace. Donahue and Hurley. The republican candidate for sheriff also has democratic tickets in circHlation with his name over that pf Hugo. The democratic party in Waterbury should not be misled by hny so-called leaders in the pay of County Commissioner Walter. who are working for their own pockets rather than the interests of the par fy. MT Hugo is n loyal democrat and any member of hIs party who votes against him ought to be ashamed of himself. Take your tickets from the booths and see that there is no pink pastors on them.

Hurlcy's Name Pasted.

Editor Democrat:
 That the republicans are sorely afraid of Candidate Hurley's strength Is evidenced by the fact that to-day numbers of democratic voters were surprised to receive by mall so- called official ballot with the name Joseph H. Reid" pasted over that of Mir Hurley. and pathetic appeal to vote accordingly. This was signed Committed" but what or whom tho committee consists of. is left to the imagination of the recipients. Such subterfnges as those show thnt de- spairlng of defeating Mir Hurley by fair means. this so-called ''Commit- tee will not hesitate 10 use any m- dcrhand method to accomplish their end. Mir Hurley's friends are natur- ally indignant oyer the matter and it is safe to say that Joseph II Reid will lose much more than he probably expected to gain.

Nearly everyone likes Griddle Cakes for breakfast and while the old fashioned Buckwheat seems to be under g ban a variety of other kinds take their place. In York state" they use batter pails. They mix batch of cakes in one of these pails on the first of the season and it is never allowed to get empty until the season is over. A fresh batch is mixed every night and set by the stove to raise 80 that when the time comes the cakes are ready for the griddle. We have these Batter Fails and believe them to be just the thing for the purpose.

 There is a feeling abroad that the best interests of the country demand a change, but whether 1t will come or not nobody can say for sure at this time. A strange condition of things exist in Waterbury where men who profess the democratic faith and are prominent in the coun- cils of that party have plans perfect cd to boost republican nominees and knife candidates of the party with which they claim afiiliatiOn. They nay that there is no remedy for this and perhaps 1t is so. since many feel that they are not capable of deciding between right and wrong on such an important question as state election and leave this for others to do for them. But there is little use in dis cussing the subject now; very few, if any, converts will be made from this time forward; the independent voter has made up his mind and those who look to others for guidance have already been drilled into how aud for whom to vote, so that the only thing left is to deliver the goods. The democrats have strong ticket in the field and if it does not receive the support 1t is entitled to it will be III to so-called reformers who are clam. bring for something better to explain the reason why.
