"One of the stories ! like best about
Tad and his father, Secretary Stanton
used to tell, says "Aunt Janet" in the
Woman's Home Companion for Febru-
ary. Zone day-the boy was scarcely
ten then-he happened in the Office of
the Secretary of War in search of
amusement, sMr. Stanton, for the fun
of it commissioned him lieutenant of
the U. S. Volunteers. Very elated and
important, Tad went Immediately and
ordered quantity of muskets sent to
the White House, organized and drilled
the house servants and gardeners, dis
charged the regular sentinels about the
premises and ordered his recruits on
duty as guards. Things took rather a
serious turn, when servants who had
been at work all day were ordered tC
keep watch all night. Tad would
listen to no one, he would be obeyed
The President was at last appealed to-
He took Tad's boyish whim in goo6
part, and in his great gentle way SEN

happy and important, to bed"

Since the Municipal Convention
the matter of town Improvements
has been more or less discussed by
our representative business men.
Smyrna unfortunately is handi-
capped from the reason that under
the existing town charter no more
than $4,000 can be raised from its
taxables. Much of.this has to be
applied to the Electric Lights and
Water Plant for new boilers and
other necessary Improvements. The
result is that but little is left for
other purposes such as extending
the power and influence of the
Police Department and macadamiz-
ing our streets. The police service
could be we'll increased and per-
fected and it is pity that our town
ordinances, a number of which are
never enforced, do not receive better
attention. But this cannot be done
and is made a one-police town
system, (save the extras that are
put on Saturday nights and special
days. because of an insufficency OF
funds to increase the force. So if
is with our streets until now Smyrna
is becoming known for having the
muddiest and most uneven streets
of any incorporated town on the
Peninsula. The time has come
>>,when Smyrna should give better
care to its streets. Milford, Sails
bury, Cambridge, and other town:
have long ago set the pace and theil
good streets are advertising the
towns. Even Clayton and Kento1
can boast of better streets thai
Smyrna. If the funds are no
available for Smyrna to take III
this matter of Improvements, thei
the time is ripe for our Town Coun
Gil to appeal to the Legislature nov
in session to grant amendment
allowing the town better and NOR
flexible working charter. Smyrn
would be taking a step in the rigt
direction if it would resolve t
macadamize two squares a yea
In time we would have good streets
A movement of this kind would

did not think Mr.. Roosevelt should
run for the presidency again Mr..
Roosevelt has declared he will not run
for the nomination again but what is
he to do if we hand him the nomina-
ton on a silver platter and tell him he
must take it? But for Mr. Bryan to be
so solicitous about Mr.. Roosevelt ac-
cepting the nomination again Is
strange and we can't figure out the
reason for it. Mr.. Roosevelt has made
good and has proved his ability as an
executive as well as theorist, and
that is something Mr.. Bryan has not
done. Mr.. Bryan has proved to be a
beautiful theorist but has never yet
shown himself to be a great or even
medium executive. Therefore mas
much as Mr.. Bryan will undoubtedly
be the democratic nominee for the
presidency, why would it not be bet
ter for US to keep Mr.. Roosevelt in Of
flee rather than exchange him, tried
and proven man, for Mr.. Bryan, an I'M
tried and rather uncertain man?
