admissions o the Soldiers Home at Kearny One years. residence is all that is
nece.aryt to make a man a citizen Of the State, but if he is an aged veteran of
the great Civil War n bears battle scars nay, if he holds a medal OF Congress
for distinguished bravery, ne is not accorded equal rights witt other citizens.
He may be in great need or utterly destitute, and here will be no shelter for
him In the Soldiers Home at Kearny. Such is the law just signed by Governor
Fort. Now he Federal government, which pays nearly one-ha1f the cost of

BRITISH NAVAL POWER QUESTIONED

Lord Beresfnds statement ito he British Naval League that II thu country

a panic" Is a panicky M and, as te doughty admiral is in high repu in
England as a naval authority, it will be strange il, the panic does not spread. If
there is one thing thu typical Engnshman has had an mistaken faith in it is
the nvnabnity of the British navy. Therew were n ships or u Ike those Of
FnHands n no officers and seamen to compare. No ava rganization could
hold a candle to the British Admiralty Lord Beresford, who knows the
British LAY like a book" tells the Enghshman he is mistaken, that he navy
IL in bad and wen pernous condition, that he mas been cherishng a deuion, and
that England, as far as her naval power is concerned is in anger 1t is hard
to reason against a prejudice, IN insular prejudice is the backbone of the
British character. The scare in England las not beer based or ida of the
weakness OF the naval organization n material. hut solely on HI number of
battkmhips a compared with Germanys naval program. A Lord Bnesford
says the "reaIt truth" about the navys condition is lot yet known.

A RUMOR has been circulated in Clifton to the effect that the Town Council had already run itself in debt to the amount of S1400. This is news to many of our citizens and it was also news to the mayor and council men. Mayor Fraser stated to an Era reporter this week that such report was without foundation, as the coun- cil had guarded against going into debt ever since it commenced busi ness. This is the reason why the council has been slow in contracting for street lights, fire protection and other expensive improvements. Our town council has been very conserva- tive so far and it is unfair for anyone to circulate rumors of d Sl400 indebt- edness. In fact it is a wonder that the town is not in debt. To start business it was necessary to incur a considerable expense for office sup plies, record books, publishing of or dinances, and various other necessary items that will not have to be met in the future. Beside this a consider able amount of public street work, including gar bage wagons, has been done. These expenses were met with funds collected for the first quarter, and the council has done exceedingly well to keep out of debt. Licenses for the present quarter are now due, which, together with more than S12,000 to be collected for taxes, will put the treasury in excellent condi tion. However, even if the town was in debt at the close ot the quarter on September, there would be no ex- cuse for criticism. If our council continues to operate on as economi cal basis in the future as during the first quarter it will have money to burn

Another Fire Sunday.

Late Sunday afternoon the resi- dence of MT. and Mrs. A. J. Burgham, together with its contents, was de- stroyed by fire and but for the des- perate efforts. ot members of the A. c. fire company and a number of other friends it might have spread to the residences of H. s. Wheeler and Guy Bates.
 MT. and Mrs. Burgham had left their home shortly before the fire and it is supposed that it must have started from the stove in which had been a small fire just before they started. The fire originated inside as the house was a solid mass of flames when it was discovered. Not a thing was saved. The house and contents were insured for $500, which will not cover one-half of the loss.
 The house was on the hill in North Clifton and the fire boys made con- nection with one of the plugs from the lower street, but when the water was turned on the hose bursted and was of very little use. However, by the efforts ot those present the fur niture was removed from adjoining residences and by tearing down a portion of the Wheeler residence the flames were confined to the one build ing. Fortunately there was no wind bloWinO.
