date campaign subjects. These will
he used and delivered by graphaphOne
to the people of Wood County. The
writer had the pleasure of listening
to these speeches and they are certain
ly excellent and they are delivered in
the natural tone of voice of the candi-
date for president. The voters will be
highly entertained with the rendition
of these speeches and they will prove
not only entertaining but profitable in
the present campaign. While the
records are in Mr.. Hambrecht's office,
he will be pleased to render any of
these selections TO those who are
interested sufficiently to come and
hear them.

on the temperance question at the NJ.
E. Church Thursday evening to fair
sized audience. Owing to the numerous
entertainments in progress in var
iOuS parts of the city at the same
time, the attendance was not as large
as It other wise would have been,
never the less an attendive and ap-
preciative audiance, greeted MI Cox
at the church last night.
The speaker and his associate, Will
n. Cork campaign singer. were intro
duced to the Assem- bled audience by
A. D. Hill. After this introduction
Mr.. Cork rendered several vocal solos
which were much enjoyed by the
listeners. The speaker of the evening
then took the floor and spoke very
enteTtainingly to the people on the
| temperance issue.
His address throughout was an inter
esting and instructive one and well
worth listening TO.

CITY MAIL CARRIERS
ARE NOT OVERPAID

Nearly four years ago the free de-
livery of mail was installed in this
city. At that time the Department
appointed four carriers at a salary of
$500 year each. The second year
according to the rules and regulations
they were paid $3.50 a year. At the
close of the second years service they
were raised to $780, Now at the close
of their third years service they are
receiving $1,000 since July 1st 1908, the
highest salary they can reach in
second class post office. While their
salary has been increasing the work
has also been increasing until now it
is way beyond their capacity to render
prompt and efficient service. No man
can walk from II to Is miles every
day in the week and carry from 30 TO
10 pounds of mail most of the distance.
The Department don't intend that
they should and when those whose
duty it is to inspect these things we
know it will be corrected. Up to the
present time there has never been a
field inspection of the Free Carrier
service in this city in nearly three
years, When it does come we are
sure relief will be given. Any man
who claims and believes the present
city carriers are overpaid, or that
they don't earn every cent of the
salary they receive. is either a knave
or a fool. Every city carrier at this
post office is faithful and efficient in
the discharge of his duties and does
everything possible to oblige and &C
comodate their patrons within the
rules and regulations of the Depart
ment and know one knows these facts
better than the writer. We have al
ways stood for their betterment and
will always defend efficient service,
and we are anxious to have it well
paid, Those who belittle their at
tempt for better service and a COM
plete service are standing in the way
of progress.

COUNCIL CHAMBERS SHOULD
BE KEPT MORE CLEANLY

While at the Electric Light Co.'S.
Stockholders meeting which was held
in the city Council chamber last
week, we were surprised at the un-
slightly and uncleanly appearance of
the entire place including the strong
barn OdOr that comes from the horse
stable beneath and to the rear of the
same building The odor perhaps
cannot be prevented as long as the
horses are stabbed there, but there is
no excuse for the filthy and dusty
condition Of the alderman's desks,
chairs and benches. These can
be busted. the floors scrubbed, for a
| little expense, and the walls calci-
mined and the woodwork painted.
Its true that the building is being
used temporarily until such time as
| the city is able to erect a suitable city
| hall building. Ii the Mayor, or City
| Council, would assign this work to
some committee to look after the
| building little closer, this condition
could be obviated. 1t is a very repul-
sive place to take strangers to and
what an impression this condition of
our council chamber must leaye upon
visitors who are accustomed to better
conditions. Have the Janitor or
some one look after this room and
keep it scrubbed out and busted for
every public session and little atten-
tioD on the part Of some one assigned
to look after it can easily be corrected.
| The city fathers have been meeting
here since 1900 and may have to
several years yet.

REVERIES: BY THE REPORTER

Indian Summer, famed in song and
story, is here. Dramatically it is the
only thing of which we can boast in
this latitude. Our winters are olOng
and cold, and our summers too short
and warm. But in Septem Der, and
running into October, there comes a
glorious six weeks or so, when the
summer is definitely gone and the
Fall has nOtyet come, a provisional
period as it were. when a spell falls
over the land There is a thin haze
| along the edge of the horizon and in the
air langour which, while not ener-
waiting invites to repose. 1t is now
that the happy human delights to
| loll about, to build air castles
and dream dreams, to feel the deli
ciouS langOur of the season steal into
his veins and magically transform
Lhim into paladin Of the olden times.
| The colors In the woods has become
ravishing in its variety and profusion.
1t is period of utter cOntentment,
of elusive charm and fondest aspira-
tionS realized in dreams
No season except the Spring, when
the vegetation is slowly coming forth
! in its bewilderiug variety and profu-
sion, will compare with it. Indian
Summer has a charm all its own,
distinct, definite and qualified. From
dewy morn till eve is a succession of
delights, delicately tinted and shaded,
unobtrusive and fieeting, waiting to
pe absorbed through all the senses.
And the beautiful moonlight nights,
they have place of their own in the
catalogue.
1t is for us to enjoy these t1eeting
days, to make the most of every one OF
them. No vacation days will compare
with them, rightly considered and
rightly utilized. They stand alone in
their peculiar charm, inviting one tC
the fields and woodlands, to the outer
world. which lies bathed in beauty,
inviting US to enjoy it.
