definite steps were taken for the
work. From that time. day after

in this paper an editorial urging the
paving. Some days when the editors
became imbued with unusual inspira-

That he has been a capable, con-

Some of the papers have concluded
that Arnold c. Scherr, the present
State auditor, will be candidate for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor. and are now working on his
case the same as II he had really
announced himself or is actually a
candidate. AS yet he neither affirms
nor denies that he will be a candi-
date, and until he declares himself.
it would seem that the only course
to pursue would be for those papers
that want him to be a candidate to
appeal to him and to sound his
praises to the extent of arousing a
demand for his candidacy.
With few exceptions. however, his
praises have not been sung nor
has any of the newspapers been
able to tell what he would stand
for. Doubtless, he would have some
elements of strength but his main
strength would depend upon his at
titude toward some of the great pol-
icies and principles the Republican
party is promulgatEng and bringing
into operation But some who pro-
fess to be for him. provided they
may know fully his policies. confess
that he has not been in accord fully

A Notable Victory.

With the turning of the first clod
of dirt this week in the beginning
OF the work of paving Baltimore
street, there will be marked another
victory by the Telegram for civic
improvement of which this paper and
its editors are justly proud.
The Telegram claims the, credit
of being the chief exponent and fac
tor in bringing about this very i'm
portant piece of public improvement
and as the work is now reality af-
ter it had been urged persistently,
fearlessly, earnestly and forcibly by
this paper, it is not out of place at
this time to remind the many read
ers of the Telegram of the service
: has rendered the city and the pub
lie in achieving it's commendable
purpose.
The Telegram realized, along with
numerous others, several years ago
/ that Baltimore street, one of the
most important thoroughfares of the
city, needed to be paved. At that
time, however, there were other i'm
port2nt public improvements that
needed attention and as the limited
revenues of the city would not permit
all of the work to be done in one
big rush, the Telegram lent its ad-
vocacy to the other work and had
the satisfaction of seeing it accom-
plished as fast as the circumstances
permitted, but was at no time I'M
mindful of the necessity of paving
Baltimore street at the earliest
practicable opportunity.
Finally, when there seemed to be
an opening for preliminary plans for
the work. the Telegram editorfally
took up the question of paving the
street and urged the City council and
city officials to plan ahead for it as
1t needed improvement badly. This
was followed at intervals by other
editorials urging the work 1t is
needless here to enumerate all of
the arguments that were set forth
by this paper and the many personal
appeals OF its editors in advocacy of
the paving as readers are we'll ac-
Quainted with all of them, or at least
should be. for they were given no
small notice in these columns.
Plans were already in formation
for this Improvement when they
were dealt severe blow by an UNI
fortunate and accidental turn of
political affairs. which resulted in
the Induction of shiftIess, obstruc-
tive and imperative city administra-
ton. For while it seemed that
the needed paving had received a
very painful black and blue eye.
There was delay, inattentlon, indif-
ference and again delay. The Tele-
gram awoke to realization OF the
fact that 1t was the policy of the ad-
ministration then in power to abso-
lutely ignore the wishes of the pub
lie and the imperative needs of civic
Improvement that were set forth by
the awful condition OF Baltimore
street. The Telegram editors. not

A test case has been taken to the
State supreme court in the matter
of increased liquor license taxes
this year. If the State wins. 1t will
have gained one hundred and six
thousand dollars. Such a sum is
worth fighting for, and that is what
the tax commissioner is doing. The
Democratic side of the legislature
opposed the increase. and thought
it won. but the tax commissioner
made discovery that led to the col
lection of the extra tax, and then
the suit resulted.

AS this opposing element bases its
argument on what the city clerk
would show all who consult him and
as he has already declared there
will be no additional debt. it is un-
necessary to answer or reply farther,
as he agrees with the Telegram ON
the subject and the opposing element
agreeing with him, all are agreed
there will he no debt.

not as good reason for berating it
