More About Assessors.

The editor u the Daily Times is not
pleased with the last city assessment
but suggests 20 remedy, and attempts
to take a good natured fall out of the
Republican because it's editor had the
temerity to have and express an
opinion. In discussing the matter, the
writer wants it distinctly understood
that he is not opposed to the present
assessor who IS an honest, conscient-
ious official, who undoubtedly made the
very best assessment possible, consid
ering the circumstances existing.
As was said in our former article, it is
absolutely impossible for a single
assessor to view all of the taxable
property in city the size Of WatertowD
and have a correct idea of values so as
to give fair. just and equal assess
ment. Since the last issue Of the Re
publican, the writer has interview
many of the business men and tax
payers of the city and the consensus of
opinion was favorable to three asses
sors instead of one. The salary OF
$500 per annum now paid a single
assessor could be divided equally be-
tween three, whose work would begin
May 1st in each year and terminate
after the meeting of the city board Of
review in July. 1t was suggested, that
the city might be divided into three
assessment districts as follows: (1) All
the territory east of the river and south
of Main-st. (2) All the territory east
Of the river and north of Main ST. (3)
Ali OF the westside except Main-st. in
which districts the assessment should
be made by single assessors and the
three acting together assess the proper
ty real and personal on Main-st after
which, acting together as board OF
assessment review make such correc-
tions as their judgment might deem
just und proper before turning in the
assessment roll to the city clerk. In
this matter, the writer is not Influenced
by any selfish motive and it will be Of
no consequence to him as to who may
be elected assessor or assessors-and as
an individual has no fault to find with
the last assessment.

CritiCisOm Did Good.

Three weeks ago. the Republican in
the issue following the fire at the
Brennecke residence contained a gentle
criticisom of the Telephone Company
for not turning in the alarm to the fire
department telephoned to the central
office. Immediately following the ap-
pearance Of the article in the Repub-
lican, the Daily Times January 9th
contained the following ''Explanation":
AS an erroneous impression has gone
abroad regarding the turning in of a
tire alarm at the time Of the Brennecke
fire, the telephone manager wishes it
corrected. He says that since the IN
PRODUCTION of the fire alarm system the
telephone central has never been re-
Quested by the authorities to turn in
fire alarms as previously done. On the
day in question, however, one of the
operators was called up and told to
turn in an alarm. The manager claims
the girl tried the West side house but
got no response and she then notified
the person calling that it might be
quicker to turn in the alarm from the
box and not wait If this be true the
published statements regarding the
affair are unjust to the operator. Just
censure is always admissible but un-
j1st censure harms innocent people.
And on the 18th inst, the following
local appeared in the Daily Times:
Telephone Fire Alarms.
Hereafter when persons wish to send
in an alarm in case of fire and when
the fire alarm box is not in the immed-
late vicinity they may send the alarm
by telephone 10 the central station,
giving the location Of the fire and cen
tral will notify the fire department at
bOtn houses simultaneously. This
matter has been arranged with the tel
ephOne management by Chief Chaser,
who requested that the public be noti-
fed through the press of the change.
Since the introduction Of the fire alarm
system but little attention has been
paid to the method Of notifying the
department, but good service in this
respect is now promised at the central
telephone station.
The Republican does not claim that
it brought about the change-but has
a sort of suspicion that it set the oall
in motion which has resulted in good.

Library Site Settled.

The common council at it's last
regular meeting decided by resolution
to purchase d site for the Carnegie
library building, the property at the
corner of West Main and Water-sts
The property is held at $1,000, one
thousand of which amount will be
raised by the Library Board by popular
and when raised, the city
will issue library bonds for the re
mainder. The people will be glad that
the matter is finally settled and that
they will have a library building tha t
will be credit to the city.

A New Departure.

After considerable reflection, the
publishers Of the Republican haye
arrived at the determination to require
all subscribers outside of the state to
pay in advance Experience has taught
them, that the nOn-pay ment of sub
scriber takes off all the profits On five
subscribers at home who pay in ad-
vance, to say nothing Of the postage
paid and vexation of spirit. resulting
from the offort to collect subscriptions
running up into the hundred of dollars
from those outside of Wisconsin,
Those who are now receiving the
Republican outside of the state, who
are in arrears, will be given reason
able time to pay up after which, their
names will be taken from our subscrip
ton books and the accounts placed in
the hands of collecting agency.
This step is not personal matter
and is not aimed at any one, but is
simply business proposition and we
hope that the subscribers outside of the
state will regard it in the same light.
Yours respectfully
Watertown Republican.

Joe E. Davies forGoVernOr

| The editor of the Columbus Democrat
| favOrs our esteemed and talented young
townsman as the democratic nominee
! for governor, In an editorial which
recently appeared in the Democrat, he
said in part:
"There has been considerable said
of late in the newspapers throughout
the state regarding the candidacy of
Mr.. Joseph E. Davies the talented
young lawyer of Watertown, Wiscon-
sin for the nomination on the demo-
cratic state ticket this fall for the
Office either for Lieutenant Governor
or Attorney General. We have taken
considerable pains to sound promine ent
leaders Of the democratic party in this
state regarding the probability of bis
success in securing the nomination for
either the above named Offices and we
are thoroughly convinced that his
| friends are entirely too modest in their
demands upon the democratic party
for its proper recognition Of the abil-
ity, character and talent of this promi-
nent, answering and popular young
| democrat
If he is entitled to any thing at the
hands of the democratic party this
year it is that he take his proper place
as the leader and standard bearer in
the coming campaign which is certain
to be one of the most celebrated in the
political history Of the state. Why not
give him the unanimous nomination
for GOVERNOR We need exactly this
style of man to fill that exalted posi-
tiOn aud the democratic party Can
never hope to attain the success it
deserves until it nominates as their
candidate for Governor a man who has
the complete confidence of the people
Of this state regardless Of party lines.
We are certain that there is no man in
the entire state who has crater hold
upon the people Of Wisconsin than has
Joseph +. Davies Of Watertown. Born
Of Welsh parents la Dodge county. he
grew up to manhood the same as many
other Wisconsin young men. He COM
pleted the prescribed course OF study
at the public school of his native city
and afterward graduated from the law
department of the state university,
where he carried off the honOrs of his
class. Returning to his home he en-
tered into the active practice of his
profession. and soon established a we'll
earned reputation for honest dealing
with his fellow men in conducting their
legal affairs san orator he is sec
ond to none in the entire state. His
fellow citizens irrespective of party
recognizing his ability and integrity
insisted upon his accepting the office
of District Attorney of Jefferson County,

for the nomination in opposition to one
Of the oldest and ablest attorneys 10 the
county he was placed in nomination by
his party and from that moment his
election was foregone conclusion"

gotten for the comfort OF the employees.
During working hours everything is
quiet in the sortiDg rooms, there being
no talking or laughing, each sorter
striving To accom- plish' all the work
possible, as they sort by the hundred
pound scale and some of the girls make
as high as 81. 90 per day. The establish
ment is run as regular as clock work
and each hand of tobacco is so checked,
that after being packed, it can be
traced, should it be necessary. back to
the farmer who raised it. 1t is an i'm

of the people Of this city are aware and
is we'll worth a, visit. W. +. Earle is

The writer IS under obligations to Mr..
Earle for showing him through the

"The Kerry Cow"

that splendid Irish actor. Joseph Muir
phy has charmed the American play
goers with his beautiful Irish drama,
1.-The Kerry Cow Like Tennyson s
Brook this rare old play bids fair to
live forever, for that never. ceasing
warm welcome for Mr.. Murphy and
his plays are as assured as are his
annual visits There are few actors
who live so fondly in the appreciation
of the public as does Mr.. Murphy, &C
countable largely because he has not
wasted time and money in trying our
new material, and that is where he
demonstrated a talent 20 manage sue
cessfully as we'll as act admirably. The
habit of many actors in abandoning
good material for inferior was not Mr..
Murphy's tickle idea. SO long as the
public greeted him 10 his plays he was
not desirous of change. Only once
during his whole lifetime career did he
gain the above knowledge by exper.

financial loss he gladly returned to

he abandoned it. It has made Murphy
and he has made The Kerry Cow. :"
They have been inseparable these
many years. The foremost theatrical
proprietors argued however that the
play could not succeed without its
famous star when there was talk of in
PRODUCING Allen Doone in Mr.. Murphy's
former role; nevertheless they have all
been cOntradicted, for Mr.. Doone's
ovation to date has been most fatter-
ing, and proves that so great play.
so famously established can succeed.
The similar instance of James A.
Herne's notable production of Shore
Acres" and Hearts of OAK" Denman
Thompson's "Old Homestead", and
many others are cited as positive proofs
of this fact. 1t is with profound regret
that we are compelled to suffer the
loss OF so great an artist as Mr.. MUIR
ply. While he has not wholly retired
from his chosen profession his seasons
in the future will be limited to few
weeks. 1t is gratifying, however, to
know that he has selected as his sue
cessor such a capable young man as
Mr.. Allen Doone, who is said to be
most charming in his creation Of Dan
O'Hara. Not only is Mr.. Doone
favored with rare talent as comedian
but nature has gifted him with a
beautiful tenor voice which is heard to
great ad vantage in a choice selection
of songs written expressly for the play.
Favored with such a splendid vehicle
and ably supported by Mr.. Murphy's S
excellent company Mr.. Doone will be
seen at Grand opera house next Sunday
January 28th matinee and night per-
