MIR. Roosev.rrs Frie.c As A witness

Following is an extract from an edi-
torial printed in the August, 1908,
number page 140) of the Review of
the Reviews. The editor af this mag
azine is Albert Shaw, an intimate
friend of Theodore Roosevelt. In this
editorial Mr.. Shaw says;
at has been supposed that west
ern business man would be made treas
urer of the republican committee but
MI George Il. Sheldon was finally
chosen. Mr.. Sheldon has acted
as treasurer in New York state
campaigns, and belongs as typieally
AS possible to the corporations anG
Wall Street elements. If it was de-
sired TO avoid the impression of any
relationship whatever with those par
ticular factors in the business COM
munity, Mr.. Sheldon's appointment
could not be regarded as tactful. His
business is 2 Wall Street and his nams

The prospects for the election of Mr..
Silsr as clerk of the County court are
satisfactory to him and his friends.
Mr.. Siler ought to be elected by good
safe majority. His standing in the
community is as good as any man in
the county. His life is an open book.
IN the county and is one of our own
people He has been respected teach
er in our puplic school for some years
and he has always performed his
duties to the satisfaction of the people
and lasting credit to himself and to
the high calling. AS every one knows
the salary of public school teacher is
at rest meager and only affords liv-
ing with very few luxuries. His SER
vice to the community has been Of
great value TO all the people and
though he has long and faithfully
served the people he is poor man.
His opponent has lived here about
twelve years and during that time has
been in the ealoen business for eleven
years and according to his statement
to Rev. Mr.. Ely he made 100000 a
year from that business for eleven years
and ought to be in comfortable eircum-
stances and beyond the need of
office.

We might give endless lists but we
have only taken few from the be.
ginning of the list which will show
the tendency of the rise in taxes, not
only TO the farmer but to every man
who has property. Look at your tax
bill Tor last year and see if it is not
higher than the year before.
We ask, in the name of common
sense and reason, why will not taxes
raise when the expenses of running
the state government have Increased
from, in round numbers, $1,000
10000 under the last democratic
administration to S6,000,0o0 under
tine Dawson administration? Where
is the money to come from?
The stlte must collect the money
before it can pay it out. There have
been hundreds of offices created during
the past ten or twelve years and the
salaries of the old ones have been in
creased and every conceivable extra
vagance has beenindulged in

BUYS VALUED SITE
John E. Mcfarland Purchases Steam Heating Company's
 Property.
TO OPEN PUBLIC MARKET
Ultimate Outcome of Transaction Will Probably Be stablishmpnt of
 One similar to old One.

A real estate deal of some prom
 hence in this city during the past few days was that of the purchase of the New Haven steam Heating property by John E. McPartland of Park street from the United Illuminating company. The property is located al the juno ton of George. Commerce and Temple streets and was bought by the illum- mating company some months ago, when tho affairs of the Heating com. pany had reached such state as to necessitate the abandonment of the business which 1t had pursued for some time
 Why tho Illuminating company chose to purchase the property has always remained mystery, but it is com monly thought that the main object,ot the purchase was to prevent another company buying the plant and con tinuing the business. The objection arose from the condition of tho pipes of the company which at the time of abandonment were leaking badly throughout tho system and were caus- Ing the Condutts of tho Illuminating company to rust. thus necesitating new ones,
 The property has footing on George street of 40 feet, of 225 on Temple, with like amount on Commerce The pur- chaser, John F. Mcfarland, vice pres ident of the Yale Brewing company, has not yet decided what use he will make of tho property, but has engaged Architect Charles F; Joy of ths city to draw sketches of types of buildings which would be particularly adapted to the site
 II looks at the present time as though he would establish on the site q public market, similar to the ola Public Market, which formerly stood on Chapel street, near State The spot is a particularly advantageous one for q market place, owing to the large number of vendors that congreeate in this vicinity every morning to peddle their wares, and it is Mir McPartlands plan i'm case he decides to erect 8 pub lie market here, to rent space in the building to these vendors

BURCH RESIGNS

INJURIES PROMPT THE ACT

! Captain Robert E Burch of Cincin- inati, who was elected leader of tho
 Yale football team last winter and who was injured Thursday in practice. has
 tendercd his resignation as captain and the other members of the team have unanimously refused to consider it. Aa a result the resignation has been with drawn temporarily and it Is hoped that If Rurch is unable to play he will at least direct proceedings from the side lines
 When Burcb was injured t was not believed that he would be out for more than 3 day. He vas knocked uncon- scious and taken from the field. II was thought he was stunned and would soon be all right again, But the next day he appeared at the field with his arm in a sling. and went to West Point the same way wearing citizens clothes lon tho side lines instead of football suit, He appointed Murphy captain on tho field and followed the team np and down.
 Bureh resigned Friday, but this fact was kept quiet. The announcement was made at the training table and then one of the men spoke strongly against accepting the resignation. There was not even a vote, the sent- ment was go manifestly in favor of keeping tho present captain in office.
 The retirement of Burch as captain al the present time would he the worst blow that could befal the team. While in the game he played remarkably well at right end, and had got so that he could kick goals with great precision. After he loft the game he directed the men, as well even as he did while on the field and his scientific knowledge of the game on account of which he was elected, was even better shown here than while playing
 Snrch's trouble is a badly injured shoulder The shoulder is not diso- cated. as has been published nor is his collar bone broken, another published statement But his shoulder is iniur- cd in such 3 way as to preclude any possibility of the captains pleying he- fore the Princeton game and lt ia ex- tremely doubtful If he will recover so far as to be able to play before he graduates
 Burch has heen extremely ,nfortun- ate in his injuries ever since he came to college His first injury came In h's sophomore year when after playlng
