THE CITY SHOULD DO ITS PART.

his Record would like to call h
attention of the city ounci TO h
need for more street and alley Cross
ings. The council has gone ahead
and very properly enforced the build
ing of mile after mile of cement side
walks at great cost to he property
owners, but the city has not done its
part in the way of connecting up
these sidewalks with crossings. There
are many localities right in the center
of the city where there Ire sidewalks
not connected up with crossings and
in the outskirts of town che situation
Is still worse. Having caused the ex-
~penditure of large sums for sidewalks.
the council should max some effort
out of the ordinary to do its share of
The work and put in h connecting
sidewalks.
Then there is the weed and rubbish
question. The council has passed or
dinances governing these matters. but
they are not what they should be by
considerable. Take the way in which
the weed ordinance works. While the
man who improved his property, built
a home, planted trees and secured a
lawn, can be made TO cut the weeds

a few to grow, the lot next 70 his may
be literally overrun with weeds. and,
because its owner lives away from

neighbor TO advance h value of his
own property so that he can make a
good thing out of 1t. he cannot. under
the present city ordinance. be made TO
keep his property in decent shape.
This should be r~enedied.
Then a look along nine out of ten OF
the residence streets of Roswell shows
that something should be done to get
the weeds and rank grass on the
streets A start has een made in
this direction. but so far II is but a
drop in h bucket.
In all of these things the city should
live up to the standard 1t imposes

must look to the president, and to
him alone to save II from the eonse-
quences Of this bit OF political perfidy.
The House submitting unwillingly
to the ~autocraaic Nomination of the
Speaker and the equally autocratic
leadership of Payne and Dalzell, did
badly enough, but the Senate has
done even worse The Payne bill is nc
longer the Payne bill but the Aldrich
bill, and as such 1t bears not the slight
est resemblance to what the country
had a right to expect from last years
Republican platform pledges
Now the bill has passed the Senate
and gone to the Conference committee
where there Is a slim chance of its
really Objectionable features being ell
minated. In all probability 1t will be
finally adopted substantially as 1t left

whole question will be up to the RI
sident.

give the measure his approval. For the
plain truth is that the Payne-Aidrich

people.
The whole demand for tariff revis-
ion which has been so strongly voic-
ed by the entire country in the hast
five yea was based on the central
ideal of removing or lowering the du-
ties on certain articles now heavily
taxed in the Dingley schedules, but un
der changed conditions no longer re-
quire such taxation. In other words.
while the people still want a high tar
in law. they most emphatica1ly do not
want a law protecting many industries
which do not deserve protection. But
Mr.. Payne and Senator Aldrich have
proceeded on an entirely different the
DRY. They are standpatters of the
most pronounced type. and instead of
drafting n law which would give relief
from the onerous Dingley schedules
they have produced one which would
make the burden on the people even
heavier.
Everybody realizes that additional
revenue must be obtained, but all Of

Dingley bill at least two per cent, but
now the bureau of statistics of the
federal government, after compiling

increases the average rate of the Ding

and Bucking Horses and Novelty
Racds Using Five Horses.
President Sullivan and Secre-
tary Orr of the Custer County
fair association are getting up a
very strong program for the
county fair this fall. They have
just signed up a contract with
Prof. Sorenson, of Berwyn, to
make flight with his new Aer-
oplane. Sorenson is the man
who rose 1000 feet in the air
with his aeroplane recently and
fell the distance without
getting hurt. Since his first at
tempt to make the flight he has
been remodeling the aeroplane
and making several improve
ments on it. Mr.. Sorenson be-
lieves that his new aeroplane
will be au improvement over all
others in the country and he as
sures the officers of the fair as
sociatisn that his machine will
stay in the cir under his control
when he makes his exhibition
flight during the fair.
| They have secured DR.. Carver,
| of Madison, Wisconsin, to give
an exhibition with his trained
bucking horses. DR.. Carver has
five trained bucking horses.
These horses will be handled by
expert riders and the bucking
will be no fake either.
The novelty races which prov
led to be such an attraction a
couple of years ago, will be a
third event on the program
which will add greatly to its
attractiveness. Each of the rid
ers will probably use five horses,
changing horses every mile in
the race.

So much then on Mr.. Gadd's
position in this matter and we
will proceed to a consideration OF
the communication writer
above.
The applause which greeted
the introduction of the county
option resolution showed that
the delegates regarded it as the
most important part of the reso-
lutions. l stated last week that
this resolution was passed as a
substitute to the anti-saloon res
olution in the committees report.
| have telephoned to Secretary
Dunn at Galloway and find that
the secretary's records back me
up ID my statement. This then
makes the resolution a part of
the original resolutions of the
committee and the anti-saloon
resolution in the state papers
was not adopted by the conven-
tion and Mr.. Humphrey should
not have given the reporter
the impression that it was
adopted. The facth that the
county option resolution was
written on a separate sheet of
paper has nothing to do with
the question and is absurd when
used as an argument in Humph-
rey's defense. Why didn't Hum
phrey tell the reporter that the
most important resolution adopt
ed by the convention was not on
the paper he handed him?
Does the elimination of the
open saloon" and county option
mean the same thing Mr., Gadd?
No one but Humphrey knows
whether he supported the resolu-
tion on the floor of the conven-
ton. He said he wouldn't OBJ
ject to its passage. The vote
was taken by yeas and nays.
Did you hear Judge Humphrey
say yea Mr.. Gadd? 1t would be
political suicide for him to
openly oppose it when the senti.
ment was 30 strong for it and
Humphrey is not looking for
political suicide" just now.
II Mr.. Gadd desires to answer
this l will give him space in this
paper for it next week.

annual chautauqua assembly,
now in session, modelled on the
lines Of the New York chautau-
qua and presents a splendid pro-
gram for the entire month.
Thirty-fve acres adjoining are
owned by the United Brethren
church under the name of the

meeting begins the Sd of Au-

AT the same time the Y. w. c.

campment on the chautauqua
grounds. Here is also reserva-
tion of 5000 acres mostly wood
land, owned by the Coleman es-
tate, and adds much to the at
tractiveness of a sumner home

nearly 5000 people. The first part

called Conewago nestles at the
foot of Mt. Gretna, in the very
heart of the South Mountains.
Beyond the opposite bank the
state guard and the regular
army frequently camp. AT one
end of the lake is large boat
house, where boats can be rented
by the month or for IS cents per
hour. Directly across one of the
four lovely rustic summer houses
over-hangs the lake. AT the
other end are bath houses and a
fine beach. Nearly opposite are
the ice houses. Way above the
end of the lake, perched nearly
on top of the mountain, is fine,
large, new hotel called, The
Conewago, and is reached by
flights of steps or a narrow
gagged railroad that runs be-
tween the station and the rifle
range. There are nearly 800
cottages built right in the
woods, also two tabernacles,
number of stores and hotels. A
reservoir and pumping station
supply the entire grounds with
excellent water. The sewerage
system is complete. The grounds
are lighted all night by electric

Early last Saturday morning
the pickners began to come to
the grove of Martin Bates to
spend the day. AT noon dinner
was spread under the trees and
after it was cleared away an in
teresting program was rendered
in which all willingly took part.
After the program Rev. Syden-
ham gave an effective talk about
the Importance of little things.
He was followed by Rev. Jack
son. When the speaking was
ended, the young folks flocked to
the ball ground where Berwyn
and Broken Bow were contesting
for the supremacy. They were
driven to shelter, however by the
approaching storm and the next
two hours were spent in wailing
against the weather man, and
wondering which team was
ahead when the game stopped,
and when at last the rain ceased,
every body agreed that the picnic
had been "thundering' success.
Alf Sloggett has his threshing
about done and will soon begin
threshing for the rest of the

FACTS ABOUT
COUNTY OPTION
Resolution Passed by Republican Con
yentiOn.
Vas Passed As a Substitute
Anti Saloon Resolution was not PaSset
by the Convention and Should not
Have Been so Reported.


Have Been so Reported.
Editor Chief:
Referring to the editorial in
the REPUBLICAN of this morning
concerning the resolution offered
by me favoring county option in
the Republican convention which
was adopted as separate reso-
luton, l do not think that Judge
Humphrey can in any way be
criticised for this resolution not
appearing in the state papers
with the platform adopted by
the county convention. The
platform adopted was written in
duplicate while the resolution l
offered was single type written
page. A copy of the resolutions
offered by the committee was
furnished the reporter, it being
carbon copy of the resolutions
adopted by the convention.
My resolution was single copy
and was retained by the secre-
tary of the convention. If it
had been drawn in duplicate and
copy furnished the reporter it
would have gone with the others.
Judge Humphrey supported the
resolution | offered on the floor
of the convention and the reso-
lutions offered by the committee
covered the same matter as my
resolution, but not in so many
words.
Surely no blame can attach to
Humphrey for this resolution
not appearing as intimated by
the REPUBLICAN. N. II. GADD.
July 3Oth, 1909.
The above communication was
published in last weeks issue Of
the Chief in reply to an editorial
in this paper.
I have no desire to enter into
a controversy with Mr.. Gadd,
but he has seen fit to rush into
print in reply to statement Of
mine and / feel that it is duty
l owe to myself and to the read
ers OF this paper to state the
facts in the case. l have said
nothing about Judge Humphrey
that | did not feel certain was
the truth and l do not intend to
change my policy.
So far as my criticism Of
Judge Humphreys action in not
informing the reporter for the
state papers that the county
option resolution had been
adopted is concerned I am more
certain now than l was last week
that my position was correct
Mr.. Gadd was the FIRST man to
complain to me about Humph-
rey's failure to get the county
option resolution in. He criti.
cised Humphrey for his action
and stated that he had person.
ally wired it to the State Jour
nal the folio wing day. When
asked him what reason hi
thought Humphrey could have
for not including it in the report
he stated as his only reason tha'
it was his conviction that Hum
phrey has been a high license
advocate and does not now ant
never has favored county option
Had Mr.. Gadd not have made
this statement l would not hav'
written the editorial, so that he
himself, is really responsible fo'
my criticism of Humphrey ol
this point. Just why he shoul'
make such a statement to m
and then publish a statemen
taking the other side / canno
say. / leave this for the peopl
to Judge. If any one doubt
these statements / can bring
sworn statement of myself and
witness to back up my words.
