FINANCES ARE
UNSATISFACTORY

II was most unsatisfactory showing
which was made TO the taxpayers at the
annual meeting on Wednesday. when they
were informed that the last town cou-
ell had run the town into debt more than
81, 600 over and above the appropriations
during the year
According to these figures there is a
deficit In almost every department, and IL
is no wonder the people and especially
those who have kept a watch on tho
financial affairs of the town, came TO the
conclusion that II is high time that there
was a change In management
That there was either gross extrava-
gance or an absolute incapacity on the
part OF the members of the old council
Is very evident There rs no other way to
account for the situation.
The new council has a burden placed
on it's shoulders which is mcalled for,
and IL II manages TO lift IL during the

won the commentator OF the whole

SCHOOL MATTERS.
Superintendent OF Schools Richardson is
making plans for a better condition OF af-
fairs in the public schools of this town.
In the first place IL has been decided to
established a ninth grade for the gram
mar school The failure 10 do this be-
fore has placed the schools of this town
considerably behind those OF neighboring
places. There were 35 pupils of the eighth
grade who took examinations for gradua-
ton this year and OF this number only
Is have passed. a showing that does not
reflect the very greatest credit on the
system, for II is difficult to believe that
the average pupil of the public schools
OF this town is particularly different than
the average pupil OF a neighboring town.
IL IL Is the system that is at fault Super
intendent Richardson will deserve the
thanks OF the people by bringing about
changes that will secure an improvement.

faction

The recent action OF the taxpayers OF
this town toward securing from the gen.
eral assembly the authority to change the
date OF its financial meeting from June
TO November was a most wise one Under
the present arrangements when the town
officers are elected in November and the
appropriat ations are made in June there Is
no possible way by which responsibility
for the expenditure of the money can be
fixed upon any one set OF men. 1t seldom
happens that the same men are elected
10 succeed themselves entire. There are
almost always some changes I'm the town

Will JEFF fight
JACK JOHNSON? =?
Fitzpatrick Looks Up the Ne.
gro and Something Must
Be Doing

Is Jim Jeffries to be lured from his
retirement?
And, stranger still, is the Turing to
be done by a negro?
Such a thought is almost unbelieve-
able, and yet the whispers have start
ed on the rounds that Jeffries is go
ing to hook up with Jack johnson, the
negro, in finish fight in the West.
The first evidence that there is some
thing doing is already forthcoming.
This is found in the fact that john
son has already got a manager, and the
man who will look out for him is none
other than sam Fitzpatrick, who has
handled some good ones in his time.
According to the rumors now going
around, Fitzpatrick has received word
from the WcUt that Jeffries has agreed
to break his long retirement and has
consented to take on johnson. The
bout according to the story, is to be
held at Goldheld, New. some time next

No mention has been made of the
size of the purse. but Goldheld has all
ready proved that it win produce a
big sum for ,lightweights, and one al

O'BRIEN KEEPS
'EM ALL GUESSING
Who Will Ills Next Fight
Be With is the
Question

Jack O'Brien certainly has got his
Philadelphia friends puzzled. First he
started away TO pick up part Of a S15,-
600 purse in Australia for fighting Bill
Squires. Jack gets to Chicago and
there it is announced that he signed
to meet sam Berger in Frisco. A few
days later O'Brien gets to the Coast, re-
ceives an offer Of $4,000 to fight Tom
my Burns, decides to take ON the Cam
adian, and cancels his trip to Kanga-
rooland. Further developments are
eagerly awaited.
The surprising thing about II all is
Berger suddenly becoming COY. After
his fight in Philadelphia with OBrien,
Sam couldn't get match with O'Brien
quick enough. What has changed the
"Boy Wonder?"
Berger doesn't look like a youngster
who lacks courage, and he wants to
get TO the top.
1t is just possible that Sam has de-
cided to take some advice handed out
to his manager. Jack Gleason. and de-
termined to make haste up the cham
lpionship ladder slowly He would be
sensible TO do so, for he's got lots Of
time to learn some points about the
game Of which he is yet in ignorance.

PULLIAM RIGHT
In Ills fight
The League MagnateS Should
Give Him Their Sup
port

Pulliam's platform announced, to-

ceed himself as president Of the Ma
tional League, provided he can get the
necessary votes, strikes a note that
would land him in the office with "a
big majority. provided the fans Of the
country had a right to vote
Unswerying antagonism to all the
foul practices known as "McGraw-
ism" forms the keynote Of his fight,
and it would be hard to find a more
popular issue. With fine courage Mr..
Pulliam defies the New York Club,
and proclaims that either the rowdy
manager of that club must be sup
pressed or he will quit professional
baseball.
The special encoura cement in this
is the fact that President Pulliam did
not rest content with his first victory,
gained when he compelled the New
York Club to accept the umpire it
had barred the day before, but that
he is pressing home the advantage.
The time is ripe and he has the
public with him. Even i'm New York
there are growing indications Of the
rising revolt against the only tactics
by which the former Baltimorean was
able to keep his team at the top.
If there is one atom Of shame left
in McGraw. his cheeks must have
burned as he read the words Of critic
ism heaped upon him by the head of
his league. and the pangs must have
increased in proportion as McGraw
realizes the ancient adage that it is
the truth that cuts.
Every word that Pulliam made use
of was justified.
Pulliam is taking a grip on the af-
fections Of the baseball public when
he makes it his fight to suppress Nc
