be properly considered as the
organ of the franchise applicants,
seeks TO obscure the issue by in
timating that this editor, John
Bruce and /. d. McFadden were
doing all the directing of this
campaign. II it were true there
is no reason why their arguments
should not be considered.
In writing fresh certificate to
its own unreliability the Booster
says:
HE gives out the hint tt,at Jake
Rudolph, Billy AFFORD and +. r.
Morgan are men who could be
bought or sold at will He says
that they would pay no attention
to protests from the people. This
is absolutely untrue except in one
particular and that would be in
case the people" were repre-
scnted by Rawalt Bruce ct al.
in which case very little attention
would be paid to the people"
Regarding the first stanza Of the
above. of course it is lie which
can be readily seen by comparing
our article complained of, aud the
"Knockcr" yclept Booster. Re-
garding the charge that they
would pay no attention to protests
against franchise grants, the
Booster frankly admits that if the
protesters were represented by
"Rawalt Bruce. ct al" no atten-
ton would be paid to them. That
is what we inferred when we wrote
last weeks article. We have had
a little experience with town off
cials who forget that they are pub
lie servants and esteem themselves
Empcrors. We once went to
Mayor Mead and asked a simple
question of fact as to the inten-
ton Of the board. stating that we
desired to print his remarks: He
treated us just the way MIR. Oliver
says the new board would. Mr..
Rockwell, of the same board was
approached by James Beezley in
the same way and upon the same
subject and met with insult for
his pains. The board headed by
A. B. Mead was an ideal Booster
Board, one that paid no attention
to protests. We want board
before whom the humblest citizen
can get respectful hearing, and
who will act as this present board
does-try to determine the right
and then. do it. By the way you
told the people through your in
valuable rag that this board would
not give any attention TO these
same men of whom you complain
as the influences that direct the
board. That was published just
aftcr the new board organized.
Does it not occur to you that as

MOTIVE AND INTENT.

II men have influence with a
council it may be for the common
good or the reverse. To deter
mine whether their influence is
being exerted along lines that
make for general prosperity,
one of the first things to ascer-
tain is what personal benefit the
agitators have in their proposals.
We want to discuss this little
because it is very seldom that the
largest taxpayer on the townsite
is associated with one of the
smallest in the attempt to secure
the same action from a town
council.
Does the callow Booster youth
care to claim that either Bruce,
Rawalt or McFadden ever asked
for anything as gift from this
city? We guess they will be will
ing to pass that proposal. What
advantage can either of the above
gain from Municipal Ownership
except that proportionate gain
that comes from a general pros
perity?
If Municipal Ownership of the
light plant turns out profitable for
the city, let us assume that this
editor would be dollar a month
ahead of the present game. Mr..
McFadden. having trifle more
of this worlds goods, would save
say sl.50 per month, while John
Bruce being very prosperous
might be ten or more dollars to
the good Even Mr.. Oliver. who
is so anxious to endow Mr.. Beez-
ley and his syndicate with not
only his own franchise rights but
those of all the balance of the
people, would proht by municipal
ownership, in just that degree
that he owns or acquires property,
and we would be powerless to
prevent it.
There is no possible way for
selfishness and desire to gain
undue advantage to enter into our
side of the campaign. 1t is peo-
pies battle. in which every man
and woman on the town site will
reap a benefit in just that degree
that they own property. There
fore we think it will prove diff
cult for the "knocker" to use
John Bruce or this editor for a
hammer to destroy the present
holdings of the people.
Now how is the other side situ-
ated as regards this Question of
personal gain. 1t is well right
here to say that the money bind

city of many tons weight of pipe.
To-day in the city clerks Office
are letters from the Universal pipe
people which say that the pipe
bought by O'Brien & Rhodes for
the Paonia7 system is the lightest
pipe they make. That it is not
strange that it bursts at 80 pounds,
In other words it never was guar
anteed to carry 250 pounds.
Were we not supported by the
facts in challenging the reservoir,
the pipe. and the action OF the
council in accepting and paying
for 1t without test?
In one short year the people
came to the conclusion that we
told them the truth when we said
they ought not to elect the Mead
ticket, and one year ago he and
his ticket were beaten by majori-
ties over all, greater than even
the most sanguine expected.
From being elected by a huge
majority in 1904 Mr.. Mead lost to
Geo. Curtis by rs to 1859. Their
highest candidate for the council
got 80 while ours got 143
We consider that our position
has been pretty well vindicated.
Let US see what the Booster has
said and how close they have hit
it.
They supported the Mead ad.
ministration. defended every act,
denied every one of our charges
and have been proven wrong in
every instance.
They supported Mr.. Mead tor
re- election and got the licking of
"a lite time at the polls.
They have assured the people
that franchise Ought to be and
will be granted" and have been
twice beaten and have another
licking coming due April Sd.
They advocate a council that
will disregard popular protest,
knowing by experience that such
course leads to the city's great
financial loss.

THE NEWSPAPER does not ask
you to take its unsupported word.
We want you to look into the
question yourself. Read what
even so discountenanced a journal
as the Booster furnishes. They
might stumble onto a truth and
publish it by an inadvertance.
They ask you to support the
Mathews ticket. They make
splurge about the license question,
knowing that the Good Govern
ment people have submitted that
question to the voters, and also
knowing that the people expect
their council to do as they say on
this question without reference to
the councils own feeling. The

viduals become entitled TO the
public confidence by reason of the
accuracy of their statements.
The Booster is SO very anxious to
lay this paper in the lie that we
want to re-capitulate a few of the
things that each paper has said
during their brief careers:
THE NEWSPAPER Editor said in
the spring of 1904 that the ticket
headed by A. B. Mead should not
be elected because it was not SO
good ticket to construct water
works system as the Spencer
ticket. The people disagreed
with US and put the Mead ticket
in. We felt no chagrin because
we knew the future would demon
strate the truth of our claim that
it was not a good administration n
to delegate great construction
work to-
When this paper was started the
editor took occasion to say that
the city reservoir was fraud and
could not be made to hold water
on account of faulty construction.
We said the pipe was way below
grade, weak and defective, incap-
able of anywhere near reaching
contract specifications.
We criticised the council for
accepting the system without
a test. Our protest made
in advance of the acceptance was
disregarded as the Booster wishes
other councils to act.
When the next campaign came
on we asked the people to defeat
Mayor Mead and his ticket.
We asked the Curtis ticket to
make pledges to the people that
they would sacredly guard their
interests in the matter of con-
tracts.
We asked them to obey the ex-
pressed will of the people.
We asked them to hold no en-
ecutive meetings behind closed
doors.
We asked them to promptly
publish their proceedings.
Every request was accepted
because it appeared proper and
good for the public service, and
every pledge has been kept:
Now how many lies have we
told.
That the reservoir is fraud is
proved by the fact that it has
never held any water. 1t has
been frequently repaired, but
never as yet has it given any SER
vice to the people.
The pipe was proven to be way
below test by the fact that while
the contract called for pipe that
would stand pressure of $50
pounds to the square inch, breaks
were frequent at 90 pounds.
Samples of bursted pipe showed
that they were less than half the
thickness guaranteed by the con-
tractors. Weighing sections and
computing the total showed that
the contractors had robbed the

ing the option on the electric
light plant is Still in the hands of
the trustee. The fact that the
franchise was beaten has not
caused them to discontinue their
effort to win. We meant it when
we said the franchise question was
the issue in the coming compaign.
Part of the original subscribers to
the stock of the concern are anx-
ious to get their money back as
they do not now hold the same
views, but the others still hold on
to the option in hopes that death
or an earthquake will give them
an opportunity to get that franchise.
1t is pretty well conceded that
a twenty year franchise makes
this plant worth about $4,000.
This is figuring the franchise at
about $4,000.
The price set on the franchise is
based to some extent on present
and prospcctiscincomc and partly
on the herculen efforts being put
forth to obtain it. In no event
can an actual value be set. In
the very nature of things Its value
is a speculative one but probably
very much under estimated.
If the people retain that which
is their own they must elect the
Zaun ticket. 1t goes without say
ing that the Booster speaks by
the card when it says their ticket
if elected will not listen to pro-
tests unless they come from some
of the franchise seekers, and as
there is little reason to exoect
them to protest we may credit
Mr.. Beezley with victory
snatched from the Jaws of defeat,
if the Mathews ticket is elected,
1t is not question of the per
sonal integrity of the gentlemen
on that ticket. They were nomi-
mated as franchise men and the
only effort made as yet to hide
the fact is the editorial utterance
of an alleged newspaper that
seems to pride itself on getting on
the wrong side of all questions, to
take a delight in saying some
thing that will be proved lie as
soon as possible. Mr.. Mathews
appeared in the council chamber
on the occasion of the first appli-
cation for a franchise and made a
good speech in favor of granting
it. Mr.. Oliver, Mr.. Baetjer, MIR.

all of whom had fought the coun-
Gil in the campaign, we're granted
respectful hearing, their argu-
ments considered. and to such an
extent that the Booster felt justi-
fed in saying in its next issue
that the franchise should be and
will Be granted" OF course it
wasn't. After being SO handi-
capped as to be burdened with
the Boosters approval. it was a
Icinch that it would die a bornin'

President Roosevelt has received
the Noble prize of $4,000 from Nor
way for being the worlds greatest
peace champion. This, of course. is
based on his successful efforts in ter
minating the war between Russia
and Japan and he is clearly entitled
10 the prize; yet it cannot be denied
that President Roosevelt is carrying
a big chip on his shoulders and is
anxious for a scrap with most any old
nation on earth. He wants TO put
the United States on a splendid war
footing and advocates a strong navy
and a large standing army. Instead
of putting the United States on a
war footing" why does he not adj
vocate putting it on a peace foot
ing" and use his efforts in dismantling
the navies of the world and the ar
mics OF the world? If there were no
navies, no armies and no guns there
could be no wars and all nations
would be at peace and the doctrine of
Christ would be established through
out the world.

AS an indication of how near to to-
tai elimination is sectional feeling in
the United States, an incident that
took place this week is of interest.
For several years Boston has priced
highly a tattered and torn Confeder-
ate battle flag captured in New Or
leans by Ben" Butler. Some few
weeks ago it was decided to return
the banner to New Orleans. Mayor
Fitzgerald, Of Boston, accordingly
brought the old flag to Washington
his week, and when he met Mayor
Behrman, Of New Orleans, at the wa
terways convention, to which both
were delegates, he announced his in
tention of surrendering it, Mayor
Behrman promptly replied that New
Orleans didn't want it, The war was
over, the old differences had been for
gotten and national patriotism was
too freely established to require out
ward evidences. The two mayors
parted the best of friends and Bos-
ton undoubtedly has more respect
for New Orleans, as New Orleans
must have for Boston.
