The Taxpayers Convention a Good
Thing.-If you do not take an active interest
in the affairs of your neighborhoo!d, town,
county, State and nation, you are falling short
of your whole duty says the Belair Times.
Under our form of government the people are
sovereign and it is wonderful what can be &C.
complished in bringing things worth while to
pass when they set about it. Here in Hartford,
if considerable number of representative men
representing all shades of political belief, were
to meet to discuss county affairs-sOmething
like the Taxpayers Convention held in Balti-

be made and the county officials be kept on
the alert to keep abreast of the times. Public

fall will see them going into territory north Of

letter wrote: Dear John or Bill:

Is conceivable that such place was,
even in the palmiest days of Rome,
solitary, peaceful and devoid of life.
In the reconstructed Forum and on
Palatine Hill evidence of living Rome

still in keeping with the accepted
idea of Roman life. In the picture

great building in the background is
