parade. TO this Mr.. Harrington says
he replied-and he says he might have
used strong language--that he would
have the parade. band or no band. and
that IL would start al 10 o'clock.
Mr. Harrington further says that the
union action was In the highest degree
reprehensible After agreeing with
me that any band might play in the
parade, whether union or non-unfon,
provided they belonged 10 the associa

You may further add that have
received a request from the Nameaugs
OF New London to visit them and assist
them in drawing up the papers neces-
sary for a suit.
They were unaquainted with the ex-
tsttng conditions, and when they saw
the Hedly- -Livsey band leave the ranks
there feelings were injured keenly.
This company is composed OF some
OF the most influential men OF New
London, as well as the most wealthy,

can say for me that something will

OF course, he is a brother OF Mr. Gillen,

PAWTUCkET WILL
PROBE ICE CASE

pared TO make a fight against what they
believe are extortonate rates.
Manager Russell OF the Pawtucket Ice
company declares that he has been forced
TO make the advance because he has
not been aoie to secure supply. He
says that his present supply will not
last more than another week. and that
after that he does not know what he Is
going TO do.
His explanation is that large amount
OF ice on which he secured an option
earlier i'm the season has recently been
denied to him because the people who
owned IL have sold Il 10 some one else
at q higher price than was TO be paid
by him. and that he will bring a suit for
damages.
1t is generally admitted that much suf-
ferng among the poor people will result
especially where there are little children
dependent on milk and similar foods.

ployed in opposition should not
be stamped with ignominy be-
cause they defend clients whom
the law cannot prove guilty Of
any misdemeanor. And if the
superior talents of the corpora
ton lawyers are accountable
for the conditions which are
said to exist surely there is a
remedy for this. Who are the

there is an effect there is GER
tainly a cause and herein lies
the solution Of the problem.
Our government is as able to
secure the services of the best

hoped that the future will have
no instance to show where the
superiority Of corporation
lawyer over a states attorney
will terminate in a rash injustice

PRESIDENTIAL
BILIIIES.
IOSSI-

IAL IOODl-
BILIIIES.
The question Of choosing a
bearer for the presi-
dental campaign Of 1908 has
already assumed a prominent
place in Republican and Demo-
cratic circles. Widely diverse
predictions and prophesies are
in order and it is interesting to
note the fluctuations of the pub
lie pulse.
Democrats in general seem to
fear the denomination of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The cutlery
against a third term is already
quite audible Notwithstanding
tho persistent declarations on
the part of Mr.. Roosevelt that
under no condition would he
accept the nomination. Roose-
velts friends and supporters are
as numerous as the stars of the
armament. They maintain
that the opposition to third
term is Irrelevant. The COM
mon sense Of the country, they
say, would revolt against any
anti-third torn proposals.
Roosevelt is without a doubt
the man Of the hour. His con-
tinued usefulness to the nation
and devotedness to the
country's welfare are too fully
appreciated by the masses Of the
American people to permit his
rejection from the head Of our
government. His reign has
occupied at the most consider
ably less than eight years. He
took the place Of our martyred
president and received but one
election at the hands of the
people. His election would be
no violation Of the unwritten
law because he has not served
two terms and to limit the USE
fulness Of a true, tried and hon
ored citizen on such a pretense
would SAVIOR rather Of rashness
than any devotion to the ma
TONS needs. The President
has repeatedly denied any in
tention Of becoming a candidate
in 1908 but there can be no
doubt that he will respond to
the demands Of the American
people when their greater well
fare is at stake. The interven-
ing years between now and the
convention ofl9O8 may devolve
many novel changes. There is
a possibilityif not a probability.
Already there have appeared on
the political horizon two men of
extensive influence and ability
in the persons of Secretary Taft
and Senator La Toilette. Both
are prominent figures in the
arena of politics and itwould be
unwise to prophecy as to the
outcome Of the Republican con-
vention should Roosevelt de-
cline the candidacy. In the
Democratic camp the name Of
William Jennings Bryan is the
watch word. His return from
foreign parts with the gigantic
PERCEPTIONS to be awarded him
is expected to re-enkindle the
|spark Of his former popularity
and he will sweep the nation
amid a storm of applause. His
NOMINATION in 1908 is almost
assured. w. r. Hearst will be
4 prominent among his competi-
ltors but will probably succomb
1 tothe superior prowess of Mr..
/ Bryan. The campaign Of 1908
will be Bryan's supreme effort,
Like the returning pugilist he is
destined to go down to defeat
/ once more before the over
whelming strength Of Roose-
Hvelt, Taft or LaF gillette.
