WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
The Census Supervisor.

The appointment of census super visor for this state is announced else where in this paper and is likely to prove a surprise all around. A strong ly endorsed petition for the selection of J. O1in Howe of Waterbury was forwarded to Washington, but this was understood to be strenuously opposed by the two senators, who recommend ed E. s. Young of this city. To an outsider it might well look as If poli- tics was forcing it's way into the situa- ton, and so the president has ap- parently dropped both suggestions and made one for himself, naming an expert in statistics, Professor w. E. Bailey of Yale university, and to all for the job. The president announced sorle time ago that, if he could pre- vent, there should be no politics in the census this time and this choice seems to make good his announce ment MT. Howe's endorsement in cluded every state official in Connecti- cut and republican leaders irrespec- tive of their senatorial predispositions and was a paper a young man might take a reasonable pride in but it was signed by politicians and was not signed by the members of the delega- tion. Their opposition seems to have killed off MT. Howe and the Howe pe- tltlon to nave killed off their man. Meanwhile the state gets an expert and politics seems to be out of it, Hartford Courant.
 One of the Roosevelt policies which Taft is carefully following is this: When in doubt, appoint Yale man. This seems to account for the unex- pected nomination of Professor Will liam B. Bailey of Yale as census su- pervisor for Connecticut. There is a supplementary theory also to help &C., count for it. J. Olin Howe of Wa terbury, the well known newspaper correspondent, had the indorsement of all the officials of the state and of many others, but he lacked those of Senator Brandegee and Senator Bulkeley. Another candidate, Ed ward S. Young of Hartford, had the support of the Connecticut senators Between these two the president was in doubt, so he appointed Prof. Bailey.

When You Buy, Buy Right

Buy right is the chief factor in all
business transactions. To buy some
thing tina, does not give satisfaction
is the most czasperating thing that
can happen TO anyone.
In buying carriage you should
never forget that an unsatisfactory pur-
chase is dear nj any price.
II you know all about carriages you
can rely on your own Judgment. II
you don't know all about them you
should be guided by the judgment OF
someone who does know and on whose
honesty you can absolutely rely This
is where we come in.
We claim that the carriages we sell
can be relied on. They are carriages
that have been tested thousand times,
and every time they have made good.
In buying from us you know you
will be buying right. because you know
we would not make anything that
wasn't right
Our name and reputation are bound
up in these carriages II you have
confidence in us you can depend on
what we sell: and 10 buy Burns make
is to buy right Think about it.

Papers.

KALISPELL. Mont, May 15.-The
contest which for the past few weeks
has so strenuously engaged the sur

and the Great Northern railways, has
drawn to a close with the filing this
morning of final maps of definite loca-
ton of both companies comevlng re-

The st. Paul people got to the court
house so minutes ahead. Throughout
the contest they have maintained the
lead and now claim to have the route
secured from Coram along the North
Fork river to the Canadian boundary,
distance of as miles
AT places the maps show lines as
following the same couse and many
points mark where they cross or con-
tinue side by side.
The contest will now shift to the
courts, where a number Of condemna-
ton suits instituted by both sides will
be threshed out
The first Great Northern summons
is returnable May 90, and the first Mil
waukee suit will probably open on

THE CITY OF LIGHT,

Have you heard the golden city
Mentioned in the legends old?
Everlasting light shines DER it,
Wondrous tales of it are told.
Only righteous men and women
Dwell within its cleaning wall;
Wrong is banished from it's borders
Justice reigns supreme DER all.
We are builders of that city;
All our joys and all our groans
Help to rear its shining ramparts,
Ali our lives are building stones,
But a few brief years we labor,
Soon our earthly day is DER,
Other builders take our places,
And our place knows US no more.
But the work which we have builded,
Oft with bleeding hands and tears,
And in error and in anguish,
Will not perish with the years.
1t will last and shine TRANSPORTED
In the final reign of Right;
1t will merge into the spIendors
OF the City of the Light.
Felix Adler.

How long. oh, how long it outlast
