Are there Underlying
Reasons

A superficial perusal of the edi'
torial in the News entitled, "Knock-
ing," gives very plausible support
for the knocking that is being done
in the columns of that paper; but
with maturer thought the decep-
tive underlying current of idvidual
interests is brought to the surface,
and the darkest recesses Of the
concealing shadows become efful
gent.
What "rights," have been "de.
MED" 70 the "people?" W b t
wrongs have been committed, and
what are and what remedy have
you to offer for the evils which you
claim exist?
Knocking and expectation will
never accomplish any good as long
as Interior motives are suggested.
Intelligent cooperative effort and
the hand OF good fellowship is 8
remedial agent far more effective
than all the mudslinging and knock
ing, il you are honest in your pur-
pose.
To map out al idealistic admin
istratlve policy is one thing; to
carry it to practical conclusion is
quite another.
Men who devote their energy and
strength and the ripe experience Of
wears OF contact with the problems
and difficulties which are encoun.
tered in the conduct OF public az
fairs, should not be subjected to
disheartening comment and critl-
clam from mon who offer nothing to-
tighten the burden; no substitute to
correct the evils which they claim
to exist; no teasibEe plan of extr1ca-
ton from the constantly accumulat-
ing obstacles in the way of success
Show that your first object is tue
good of the town; that no rival
business relations or conflicting in
terests, political or otherwise are
the motive power which generates
al! this discord.
A war upon ubiquitous practices
and corrupt dealings is a battle
royal and deserving of success but
it's weapons are never innuendoes
and subtle suggestions they take
the form Of specific charges AND
heroic action.

The lnefficacy of Bare

Under the caption, "Our Con-
temporary Ranting," there appears
IN the News . school-boy effort to
be funny that is only ridiculous,
which 10 offered in lieu of an answer
to and in evasion Of the question:
"Who is the Ring?" The article in
question is unworthy of notice, and
would elicit no comment from us,
were it not that it's infantile weak
ness reveals q matured and we'll
developed penehant for sidetrack-
ing an issue, and an humanity will
lngness to unserupulousIy mlsinter-
pref an evidently plain assertion, in
order to disentargle itself from u
network Of its own construction,
An organ that adopts such trivial
tactics Of defense would not hesl-
tate to manufacture offensive ma
serial.
Then comes the bewildering state
ment shat it "would not come
back any more" Alas, even the
black cat came back! But if the
News won't "come back" the
marvellous rigidity of the much
Wanted backbone has suffered q
reflex moven.ent-will it, for the
good Of the public, please take note
of this; Webster defines "Ring" to
mean .~<..
"A clique; an exclusive combination of per-
sons for selfish purpose, as to control the
market, distribute Offices, obtain contracts,

See if you cannot patch up that
refractory backbone and tell us who
the "Ring" 10 and what the "Ring"
has done.
II the News has knowledge Of any
corrupt practices OF dealings or OF
any illegal acts Of "Ring' or
public officer, it is it's duty to out

THE limit mr. LIFE

The most eminent medical scientists
are moot unanimous in the conclusion
that the generally accepted Limitation
of human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period that
determines its duration seems to be
between SO and 60; the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot be
too strongly urged; carelessnes then
being fatal to longevity. Natures best
helper after so Is Electric Bltters, the
scientific tonic medicine that revival

ing his cross examination of Mrs.
Evelyn Nesblt Thaw to-day at the
trial of her husband, District At
torney jerome brought out the fact
that in 1902 Stanford White de
posted the sum of $3.50 with a
New York trust company, with
instructions that it should be paid
to the Nesbit girl at the rate of
$25 a week. Mrs. Thaw frankly
admitted receiving a number OF
checks from the trust company,
but she would not admit that there
was a provision that she should re-
ceive the money only when out of
employment. The prosecutor spent
nearly the entire afternoon IN try
ing to make Mrs. Thaw admit that
this was true, but as often and In
as many ways as he put the ques'
ton to her she gave the one an

when the league decided to accep'
