A TENTH WARD
POLITICIAN HAS
A WORD TO SAY

II see." said a Ward 10 politician to
News-Democrat reporter, this morning
that all the dope dispensers are not de-
voting their attention to possible con-
fiict with Japan. l refer to the men who
are making up all sorts of states for the
local democracy Now my ward used to
be the very woods for chattering OF po-
litical nature. but same for my friend
McNamee--"
You mean Councilman Miles A. Nc
Nance" asked the reporter Yes, but
please don't interrupt. AS / was about
to remark my friend McNamee is the
only thrush that has a note at all at all
TO give out i think we have a real quiet
time for though | did not vote for Alder
man McMann and am going TO keep my
eyes wide open and upon some alleged
friends OF the alderman, still as a whole,
/ like the aldermans career. IL he can
only get away from some of the Hes
slams that insist on keeping his COM
pany he will give valuable aid 10 the
straight Democracy.
But / was not referring to my own
ward when / spoke OF dope dispensers. If
you are at all posted you must know"
continued the Ward 10 politician getting
real in earnest, that DR.. Carroll an dDor-
ney are not all the pumpkins in the po-
litical field this year.
There's Ward Z. It's a banner Repub-
lican ward and there is the warmest
kind of fight there. This fight is direct
ed by a man whose brother is a Repub-
lican office holder in big town OF the
state. OF course. the local fighter is not
training his batteries on the Republican
party. That would seem funny but he is
right after Assemblyman Myers. Inciden-
tally some OF his gang are against Gov.
Higgins. Most OF them are. however. just
after Myers. They want Attorney Stephen
j. Casey. All l have got TO say on that
proposition is Mr.. Casey ought TO know
better IL he doesn't he will get his lesson
next September all right.
THE test set by the News-Democrat
for loyalty this year is the right one. 1t
is, does man favor the denomination OF
the men that served the city so well in
the last assembly. It's the test. too. of
decency. II any man seeks to prevent the
denomination OF any man on last years
assembly ticket ask him TO explain.
lis there going to be any Republican
money giving?
Now why did the Republican machine
select former Senator Wetmore as can
didate OF the party? But amt interest
ed so much In that as / am in getting
rid of the dope dispensers, who want or
pretend to want aber men on the assem-
bly, ticket. They are all tricksters, all
aiders and abetters of Dorney, Moran,
etc. l hear my friend o'Neill is out to
trim Representative Hogan. This is in the
interest OF strengthening the delegation
no doubt. as former Representative John
c. Lyons has Mr.. ONeils backing for
Mr.. Hogan's place.
How about Alderman Dunn?" asked
the reporter.
II won't give you any Ward tips to-
day. II is a hard ward to make out. /
hear some whisperings that Alderman
Dunn won't run again and that his sue
cessor will be a former Dunn councilman.
but l don't know. Here comes my car.
Good day"

PAWTUXET PASTOR
SCORES POLICE
FOR EVIL RESORTS

Rev. Thomas E. Bartlett pastor OF the
Baptist church, Pawtuxet. yesterday
morning preached another sermon on To-
cal conditions. He appealed that the no.
torious resorts In the town be wiped out
OF the place.
I'VE may have clean village II we
WILL" he said "The blot on Tucker ave-
nue. may be washed white as snow. When
the people come TO loathe the sight OF
place. the proprietor may begin to feel
the public scorn, and in due time the
weight OF the law. Contempt and scorn
leap up unbidden for the principles of any
man. already wealthy. who. 10 add to his
store. preys upon the public morals And
when half the people know where these
dens are. vigilant police may at last
discover them.
Our town council and their appointed
officers are In charge, year by year, OF
The local ship OF state They are expected
10 make the annual cruise for the public
welfare. If caught in fog from any po-
litical quarter. they lose their bearings.
or, listening 10 the persistent clamor of
those who have only self TO serve they
almost forget why they set out and even
yield the helm to INSCRIPTIONS men.
Then the owners OF the noble vessel Will
send wireless peremptory messages for
their direction and also remember with
gratitude that repairs and changes may
be made on the annual day OF reckoning
in November.
THE people are not helpless. They are
getting aroused. They want every place
now open for immoral purposes closed.
They demand that those whom they have
clothed with authority for this very thing
shall see that this is done, and they will
demand that every police officer found
stone blind shall account for his blind
ness"

KAMTCHATKA VOLCANO

San Francisco. July l5-The outburst or
q volcano on the peninsula OF Kamtchat-
ka on Feb. Is last threw the country into
darkness for As hours and resulted in the
starving OF scores Of natives according
10 the officers of s. n. Castle, which
reached this port last evening direct from
the Okhotsk Sea. The natives told Capt.
Petersen and his men that they had no
knowledge OF the source of the terrible
storm that had come upon them.
They knew only that while they were
crossing the valleys in the first flush of
spring a wave of dust fell upon them,
followed by utter darkness that continued
for two days and nights, while lava al
most hot. fell about them and there were
showers OF black ashes.

Hereford, Tex, July 15-Prof. T. l..
Everly. an archaeologist and instructor
in the Canadian college at this place. has
discovered a buried city in Ochiltree
county. 100 miles northwest OF here, In
the extreme northern part of the Pan
handle
The appearance OF number OF mounds
upon what was otherwise a level plain
attracted Mr.. Everly's attention and he
began Investigations. His excavations
have revealed buried buildings In which
are human bones. ancient pottery and
stone utensils. The mounds are rectangu-
lar in shape and their number shows that
II was once a city OF several thousand
people. The character of ruins indicates
that they antedate the Aztecs or Toll
tees.

Atlantic City, N. j.. July 15.-The
new city law requiring fair bathers to
wear long robes over their bathing
suits while on their way TO and from

withstand the smiling request TO
"Please take care OF this until come
out" and declare they must have ward
robes for self-protection. as they are
often unable TO stand up under the
heaps OF robes smilingly thrust upon
them.
