Philanthropy in Ice

From the New YORK Evening Sun.
Are the ice dealers hoggish? Well.
there are some persons who will be dis
posed 10 believe that the hoggishness Of
the iceman has no parallel In the whole
field OF industry. and II is very difficult
for the iceman % get credit anywhere
for the high and honorable motives
which really actuate him. The truth
about him Is that he is the greatest con-
server Of natural resources that We have.
The advance n the price Of ice is the
first fruit Of a great conservation move
ment in which the ice dealers are en-
gagged.

SENATOR GEORGE S. sILzER
Therefore when It became known
that Cannon had been given ma
jority Of thirty-two there and that
Silzer had majority of twenty-nine,
the democrats rejoiced greatly.
Soon the returns began to come in
from New Brunswick. This was
Iackson's stronghold. The republic
can machine was depending upon the
county seat to roll up a big majority
for jackson in the hope that it would
overcome what Cannon polled else
where.
In this they were doomed to iisap-
Dointment. In spite OF the fact
that the republican machine had
practically thrown away the rest Of
che ticket in order to save jackson in
New Brunswick, the result was most
disappointing to the republicans.
