 So much of the time we can neglect our streets. save for the attention given to them by the sprinklers, that We are in a measure excusable if we forget about them when the sun shines.

In his address to the republican ma

tory in 1904. and then asked: ''In view
of this Endorsement, it becomes pertinent
and opportune to inquire, what has the
republican party done in the last four

For this question the Rochester m Y. J
