AGAINST VIADUCT

down town by means of horse and car
riage.
"The very first proposition of the new
management of the railway lis TO destroy
the best highway we have leading TO the
hill and is not to widen and improve eN-
listing highways. The gentleman VINO mas
preceded me has convinced me TINS is the
best possible project for the railroad COM

Rev. Henry NJ King. ID. d., presented

or turned into some old museum Inc

William C. Poland, William Gammeil ana
David w. Hoyt.
Rathbone Gardner, representing the
Corliss family. whose residence is at the
corner of Angel and Prospect streets,
said that the engineers of the company
had handlsd the matter simply as one OF

be said the problem had been successfui-
ly handled.
He urged return to the plan he advo-
Gated a year ago, on which there was al
most unanimity, namely, tunnel, which
as then MANNED, located with its entrance
near Market square.
Dexter II. Potter protested vigorously in
the name of the University club as a law

J Amasa M. Eaton protested against the

Prescott O. Clarke presented petition

ENGINEER BRONSDON.
Engineer II. NJ. Bronsdon made brief
defence OF his plan as the cheapest for
the city; that Il had been found 80 per
cent of the East Side people did not drive,
but used the cars. that there would not be
much noise accompanying the viaduct,
and that from an operative point of view
Il was the only one that had been present
ed as yet.
Timothy Heffernan advocated tunnel.
Ex-Councilman Daniel f. Grady OF the
Tenth ward made an impassioned appeal
for the easy-grade street. He was very

THE SPLIT rs WIDENED.

The Republican state central committee, in ses-
sion yesterday voted to endorse ex-senator George
Peabody Wetmore for a third term in the Million
aires Club at Washington. The score at the end
of the balloting IS to 9, and probably never
before in the history of the g. O. p of this state
was evidenced striking unharmonious con-
dton of affairs, as the committee is supposed to
be the very backbone of the Republican party in
Rhode Island.
One only has to note the vote and then draw
their own conclusions.
There is nothing worse than civil war, and
quite along the same line of thought there is
nothing more serious than defined split in any or
organization that presumably is working for one
object-success.
That there is a split in the Republican ranks,
and among its leaders, is we'll known, and today it
is wider than ever before and will continue to widen
until all possibility of reconciliation of the two
factions is impossible.
What does it all mean?
Simply this 1t heralds decided victory for
the Democracy next fall--a victory for the people
and for good government which even Wetmore's
money and Braytons generalship cannot overcome.
Never before were the chances of Col Robert II.
I. Goddard becoming junior United States senator
for Rhode Island, brighter than they were when the
Republican state central committee yesterday cast
that ballot making official and political rupture
whose effect will be felt in every city and town in
the state.

UP TO HIM, TOO!

Not so very long ago President Roosevelt
made plea" it might be termed, to the Benevo-
lent and Protective Order of Eks, that it refrain
from using the elk's tooth ornament or SYM
Dol of the order as it called for the Staying of that
noble animal in order to secure the priced molar.
Coming from the president, who is himself or
has been mighty hunter, his request appeared
lust bit inconsistent if he has not made up his
mind that he will also, personally, refrain from the
killing of game
The presidents idea is all right and should, in
deed, be carried still further-applied to all ami
mails, in fact, carrying out that good old saying,
Live and let live"
There was time in the early history of our
country when the newcomers were obliged to Kill
game for both sustenance and protection. That
time has passed; but men deliberately shoot
and kill simply for the fun of the thing and in nine
cases out of ten don't care rap what becomes OF
the game after they have put it out of existence.
The fun (termed such) they have provides fund
of conversation for their clubs and other social
meetings, and that is about all.
What glory, fun or satisfaction can any man,
after figuring and considering ALL get out OF de-
liberately shooting and killing beautiful deer a
pheasant-in fact any animal that is not harmful
to the human? Surely nothing except to demon
strate the cleverness of his aim, or to demon
strate the power of the bullet-and, after all, what
does either matter? Life is sweet to the human
and lust so sweet it must be to the animal and the
thoughts and dongs of hunting man should be
turned into worthier channels.

TO PROVE ITSELF.

Over the head of Mayor McCarthy's' veto both
branches of the city government yesterday passed
the franchise ordinance granting the Providence
Telephone company exclusive rights in this city
In his veto action and in his reasons for SO do
ing, the mayor demonstrated that he had given the
matter his deep attention, and there is no doubt but
that he was absolutely conscientious in his convic-
tions. Some of the points he made were plausible,
especially that as relative to the duration OF con-
tract.
After all, the main point to be gained in such
matter as the telephone question was that OF eff
cient service to the public at the very lowest price
possible and if this is obtained it matters but little
whether there is one company or one hundred. 1t
is now up to the Providence Telephone company
to give this efficient service; six years hence is not
so very far distant and it is not presumed for an
instant but that this company desires to treat the
public fairly, it is probable that all will be forth
coming in the near future.

THE SUMMER MILK.

Now that summer and real summer, too is ap-
oarently close at hand, the pure milk question
arises as mighty important one. In this broad
land of ours every summer thousands Of infants
die from this one cause alone-sn't that enough to
make every Official every individual and every
head of family to see that milk is as pure as mod
ern methods will make it.
The product from healthy bovine contains no
bacteria or disease producing germs. but by the
time the milk reaches the pail Gf the surrounding
conditions are nsantary) or finds its way into the
home it sometimes contains as many as $4,000 bac-
terra TO the cubic inch.
Not very pleasant to contemplate, now is 1t!
All this may be remedied if the proper pre-
cautions are taken. A strict eye must be kept on
those who supply milk and cleanliness must be in
sisted upon Don't kick at the price il you are sure
of getting pure milk. Dirty milk is cheap, and
cheap milk in the end will prove dear investment
for YOU and yours-depend upon it.

ALARGER POLICE FORCE.

Sixty-three additional police officers and an
appropriation of SI2,Soo.25 to pay their salaries
for the balance OF the fiscal year was asked by the
police commission in their petition to the
city council yesterday If the request is granted it
will cost the city S52S337s the first year, but un-
oucstionaby il will be worth the increase to have
the city of Providence policed exactly it should
be.
In the petition, Chairman Luther puts the re-
quest fairly and squarey and to the point stating
that the present force is entirely inadequate, and
the numerical strength of the department must be
increased 10 properly patrol the city, In the out
lying districts officers compelled TO travel long
beats and many in the heart of the city are greater
than they should be for the security OF property.

1t appears that the professional hold-up men
who at one time figured SO prominently in the West
have found conditions pretty hard in South Amer
ica, to which country they retreated after being
driven from the United States They were forced
to retreat from one country to another and have
for some time been lost in obscurity. The three
most famous members of this bold class of robbers
who fed to the south were Butch" Cassidy Harry
Longbaugh and Eta Place. These parties divided
their time between robberes and cattle raising.

obtain booty that would more than cover the in
creased amount necessary for the augmented force.
The prevention OF disease is just as important
cure and this may be applied to this question
let everything be done to prevent crime, and its
effect will sooner or later be shown.
1t is sincerely hoped that the city council will
give their immediate attention and grant theS peti-
ton of the commissioners.

MUST WORK TOGETHER.

No town will become a good bust
ness center so long as its business
men rely on a few merchants to make
the effort to bring trade to town. Too
often the men in a few lines OF trade
are about the only ones that reach
out after custom. Other merchants
wait until these men induce the peo-
,le to come to town and content them
selves with trade that naturally drifts
to their place. A public spirited man
should ask himself if he is doing his
part to attract people to come to-
town to trade in helping the entire
business community, and no town IS
a success unless all lines are working
to extend the trade as far as possible
and trying to bring larger terri
tory in the circles in which the town
is the business center.
