Up 90 Tires.

So distinctly has the effort to econo-

any considerable extent the price OF tires
is raised accordingly. This direct and
simple policy, while specifically hard

It means that the tire manufacturers will
not sacrifice quality to meet the emer-
gencies of the crude Para market. and
that tires. as put out by the reputable
makers. are built just as good as they
know how to build them. with a view to
long and satisfactory service rather than
to meet dxed. price schedule.

Dear Sir: On behalf Of a large number
of your fellow-citizens We invite you te
be our guest at public dinner TO oe
given in your honor on such day al
will suit your convenience.
I'VE desire in this public manner to ex.
press our appreciation Of your character
and disinterested public services. We re-
gard as not the least Of these services
your vigorous advocacy Of the protection
and extension Of American commercial
and political interests in the orient. in
full accord with the we'll known views OF
President Taft, and with his epoch-mak'
ing speech at Shanghai in 1907.
when the President appointed you
minister to China Gan honor unsought
and unexpected by yourselD you accept
ed the position at personal sacrifice and
the Presidents choice. Your intimate
knowledge Of China and it's people. the
wide scope Of your experience In bust
ness matters throughout the world, and
your extensive personal friendship with
many who hold responsible positions In
foreign affairs, contributed to your fit
ness for the position.
Confidence Undiminished.
your unusual discretion. prudence.
wisdom and modesty had been demon
strated to us by an acquaintance ex-
tending over twenty-five years OF an &C.
tive business and social life. So far no
conduct of your own has diminished our
confidence in your fitness. We believe
that the published circumstances. trivial
In themselves, were unfairly made use
of in an attempt to humiliate you with
out adequate cause, and we wish by
this means publicly to protest against
such methods which cannot fall to have
q tendency to discourage prominent pri-
vate citizens from accepting public Of

special Correspondence Of The Star.


The people of New York and Maryland
are not monopolizing strenuous politics
this year, strenuous as their brand may
be. There Is something of the same kind
here. and the visitor from across the AL
legnenies, familiar with the racket OF
politics and liking the sound. Is soothed
by the familiar cries and calls as soon as
he leaves his train Orators are on the
wing and sing. Neighbors Of opposite
views about what Is best for the town are
pouring out their information and argu-
ments in an effort each to convince the
other. The newspapers are doing their
duty. and the dead walls are alive-as
they say in Dublin-with the pictures OF
as handsome and imposing line Of can
didates for Office as any community could
possibly desire. 1t Is all very good to see
and to hear.
This is but to say that a city campaign
is in progress and the town Is stirred to
the center. Every Office, from the mayor
atty down, is in the scale, and something
more than control Of the town Is to be
won, though that, of course, Is the para
mount consideration. Four tickets are In
the field-the regular republican ticket.
the regular democratic ticket, an indie
pendent republican ticket and an indie
pendent democratic ticket. AS one may
imagine, the republicans incline to the
opinion that the re. ,:lar democrats are re-
spensible for the Independent republican
movement, and the democrats to the opin-
ion that personal disappointment explains
the attitude of the men composing the in
dependent democratic ticket. Election day
Is Tuesday next, and the registration in
dicates a heavy vote-a tribute both to
the industry of the party managers and
to the interest of the citizens in the at
fairs of their prosperous municipality.

Municipal Reform an Issue.

There is at stake here something for
which many American cities have striven,
and to which all should aspire-conduct
of a city's affairs on business principles
by successful men trained in business.
The present mayor of Louisville is a
highly capable man, who has long been
prominently associated with the CONNER
cial life of the states metropolis He
is republican, but owes his Office to a
combination of republicans. democrats
and independents effected two years ago
TO rescue the town from the clutches Of
a political machine. whose outrageous per-
tormances had been nullified and de-
nounced by the highest court In the state.
He and his associates have made good"
and he stands now well Endorsed for an
other term. l should little think of max
ing prediction as to the result though
opinion reaches me from several sources
that the spirit of two years ago for good
government rather than political govern
ment Is still active, and will show itself
on election day. Certain it is that in the
registration the republicans and indie
pendents taken together outnumber the
democrats by nearly five thousand; and
should they stand together again the
sum will easily be done.

A Woman for School Head.

Another interesting feature of the cam
paign. though Of a character directly CD
posite to the Whallen feature, is the can
didacy Of q woman for the office of SUI
perintendent OF the schools Of this, JET
ferson, county. Mrs. Rosa Stonestreet is
the incumbent Of the Office and an in
dependent candidate to succeed herself.
Denied another nomination by the democ-
racy through influences she thought I'M
worthy, she took matters into her own
hands, and offered for another term in
her own right. l am not advised as to
her prospects at the polls. but testimony
as to the ability with which she has
filled her office is abundant. She is con-
Quoting her own campaign, Is at once
candidate manager and orator. and of
course IL most respectfully received at all
of her meetings. The woman In office is
seldom seen south of the Ohio river, and
woman suffrage has but a negligible
championship in this state. Mrs. Stone
street Is not an advocate Of the ballot for
her sex, but has solved the question OF
the capacity of a woman to administer an
office appealing to women without the
slightest loss of dignity or womanly pres
tige. l would not appear to criticise the
managers Of the national movement for
the advancement Of the cause of women
In public affairs. but here was an oppor-
tunity neglected. Mrs. Stonestreet should
have had assistance from that quarter,
for although every woman in America is
regarded as her own angel-and so very
often is angel enough for two-in politics
she is no better of than mere man, who
needs an "angel' in his chases for Office.
and seldom wins without one.
Louisville Prosperous.
The growth Of this city Is steady. graft

to the new Kentucky spirit. Immigration

housed and in the main probably en-
ployed, and as many more should, and
probably will, join them In the next forty

that wonder has grown IL anything else
goes on but entertainment by such wor-
thies. A very great deal else goes on.
In fact, not half as much of what Is popu-

the gamblers are few when counted
against the great army Of busy men.

MAE VANDERBEcK

Mae, only daughter of Stephen G.
and Carrie, Warner, Vanderbeck
died at her home in Hackensack N.
J. Wednesday after a brief illness.
She was born June 8, 1885. She
was an exceptionally bright and
cheerful young lady with excellent
accomplishments and surrounded by
loving friends. Her prospects in
life were of the fairest and being the
only remaining child of fond parents,
who since the death Of their son in
1900, had lavished on her a wealth of
affection. her loss to them is be-
yond feeble words to express. In this
bereavement they have the sincere
sympathy of many here where the
young lady was well known, having
been a frequent visitor at the homes
Of her uncles John c. and George w.
Warner, aud her mother, a daughter
of the late Ebenezer Warner, is well
known. Truly in this case Death
loved a shining mark. The remains
were brought here for interment in
Milford Cemetary.
