Everywhere in the country where

investors are to be found, Ely dis

attention. and, as its present work at
production becomes more generally
known. higher praise. The camp has
made a marvellous record in more
ways than one. and yet is only at the
beginning. The future has a great
deal more TO disclose in wealth of re-
sources and immensely of provisions
for reaping benefit from these than
the past has shown. Stay with the

steadily making and you will in later
years have no cause for complaint

denial given by William ]. Bryan Ia
story printed in Pittshurg this
morning that he had sold out" To
the Kerr faction of the Pennsylvania
Democracy in order to accomplish the
defeat of Col. James NJ. Guffey for
national committeeman. The price
alleged to figure in the transaction
was 100000 as a campaign contri-
button. The charge is said to nave
been made that Mr.. bryan made
good but that Mr.. Kerr and his
supporters had not come forward
with the money.
Mr.. Bryan declared that he had
never heard of the offer or agree
ment, and he suggested that he

The danger of the defeat Of the
Republican party next November be-
cause of the do-nothing policy of the
republican majority IN congress and
refusal to do anything for The benefit
of the people, is drawing on the lead
ers, especially in the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes, where, under autocratic
conduct of the speaker and few
members more interested in trusts
than the people, the session has prov
en- failure :. thus far and the party
missed it's opportunity to gain the
good will and approval of the people.
Possibly, something may yet be
done to restore confidence, buC rs the
session ls nearing a close it will be too
late to give the people the legislation
demanded and expected and should any
Legislation be attempted at this late
day, it would be ill-advice and of a
character that would not commend
itself to the people.

has been an average monthly deficit
since last October of about So, 900, =

to have small deficit rather than a
large surplus to attract the cupidity
OF dishonest or thoughtless congress-
men. If he deficit continues to grow.
it will in time necessitate the issuance
of bonds to liQuidate the deficit and
thus add to the burden of the people
in paying interest. 1t is always g
poor policy to issue bonds unless de-

THE FOLLY OF TOO MANY

The following sensible and convinc-

appropo just at this time:
There are American editor who have
seen fit to contrast the action of Con-
gress in refusing to authorize the
building of four new warshlps with
the action of the Reichstag in deciding
to build four wsrships, and who have
undertaken to suggest that the CON-
parison IL discreditable to the United
States. These editors are not wise.
Warships cost great deal of money
money to build them. and money to
maintain them. and they grow obsolete
very soon. The countries which are
at peace are straining themselves in
the construction of warships are afford

The present time, when the monthly
Income of the United States is be-

of expenditures-Su excellent time to

two battleships instead of four. 1t

VOICES OPINION ON
CARR Street MATTER
"CITIZEN" THINKS THOROUGH
FARE SHOULD BE VACATED
On the Plat of WdtertOWn So
Years. But Scarcely Known
Never Been Opened to the Pub
liC-Extends Neither Way and is
of No Public Utility.

10 the tax payers of the city of
Watertown:
The undersigned being tax payer
of Watertown, consequently interested
In the welfare of this citv, wishes to
call the attention of all taxpayers to
a matter of universal interest which
has been before the public and city
council for almost year. 1t is the
Carr street question. Carr street is
a street which has been on the plat
Of Watertown for about fifty thu ee
years, but outside of that not known
by anyone. save by one or two, for the
reason that it had never been opened
to the public. Only of late LIS of the
the property holders adjoining the
street petitioned the council for the
opening of the same while As are
opposing it, basing their attitude on
the fact that for fifty three years the
street has not been considered by any
council as a public utility; on the
contrary an expense. The casual
observer will also notice that this
little street does not extend to the
west from Tenth street, nor to the
east from Twelfth street. Hence
there is no necessity whatever for OPEN
ing it, which is still more evidenced
by the fact that Eleventh street ends
at Western avenue. In consequence
this Carr street in question in reality
is short strip of one block of particu-
lar interest only to the few property
owners adjoining the street. Four
fifths of these property owners have
perItioned the city council to vacate
this street entirely and rightly SO,
for the opening of the street would
mean additional taxes to all tax payers
of the city, who already are heavily
burdened by taxes, to say nothing of
the future taxes for keeping up this
street in good condition. Inasmuck
as the greater number Of the property
owners have petitioned tor the vacat-
Ing VI thO otiCCS anu oiiiy III ~
for the opening. the best way to dc
| justice to both would be to vacate
the east end and open the west enc
and thus create socalled "Court, .
like streets, as are found in many
cities. This would be treating botf
sides justly and showing no partially
to any. At any rate, the undersigned
wishes to call attention of all ta1
payers to a matter which, carried ou
as intended by a few, would NEAR
additional expense to the city with NJ
public utility whatever. 1t nigh
be said that after fifty three years
conditions in this section of the cit,
warrant the opening OF the street
To this can be said that the observe
will find that conditions have nc
changed and will not in the future
Yes, it might bs said. that the opening
OF Carr street will never prove ben
eft to the city nor to the public il
general. The situation of the stree
in question substantiates this asser
tion.
