The recent report of City Auditor

Of TIN city were getting into fairly
good condition once more and that il

months ago, is indeed gratifying 70

of the city at heart In this connec-
tSon II is well to consider whether
II is good policy to keep the men
who have Leen largely responsible
for this condition in Office at least
until the city has fully recovered
from the shrinkage / nthe treasury,
Vhe credit of bringing before the
council the real condition of the city
finances belongs TO City Auditor FL
iiott. II was he who laid before the
councilmel the city's books showing
the exact condition of all OF the funds
and pinted out the necessity for
economy. The leaders in the council
were quick to see the situation and
had the courage TO do what was
needed In this work, B. +. NAPLES
and J. j. Rudolph have taken a most
active part and through their efforts
largely. the city treasury is now
showing a very much better condi-
ton. These men are up for re-elec-
tion and good business sense says
they should be retained in office.
To be associated with these men in
the council, the Democrats have Sc
lected J F. Lust for councilman-at-
large, William Ullon from the First
ward and George Orr from the Third
ward These men are in hearty ac-
cord with the policy of conservatism
in, the expenditure of moneys. Their
election will insure that the finances
or the city will not be drained as Il
has been in the years proceeding
the retrenchment policy which has
been in force for the past months.
There is NO excuse for scratch
being placed upon the Democratic
ticket by y member of the party.

New York, Oct. 22--With two fight
ers with worlds record on her passen-
ger list. the giant Lusitania, of the
Cunard line docked at S:45 today In
the presence of crowd that rivalled
the one which greeted her on her
maiden tip. The Two fighters with
their records:
James j. Jeffrles, undefeated cham
pion heavyweight pugilist of the
world. a.....
T. P. OConnor, (Tay Pay) for
many years the leader in the fight
to secure home rule for Ireland.
But it was Jeffries that the majori-
ty of the. crowd wanted to see and
when his huge bulk was dlscerned on
the upper deck, he was cheered as
though ne was one of the worlds
heroes. The big fellow looked fine.
He made it plain before he even set
foot on the dock that he expects to
| fight Johnson and that 50 far as he is
concerned there Is no reason why
the fight cannot be arranged without
delay.

and / am prepared to uphold the su-
premacy OF the white race.
Jeffries and his wife hurried
through the customs lines and were
driven at once to the Hotel Albany
where apartments had been reserved
for them. AS the big fellow forced
his way through the crowd he was
cheered time and again and when he
finally emerged on the street his
friends and the police had to form
flying wedge to get him into the
waiting automobile.

TOO SLOW OVER HERE

For decades the English people
have been criticisng Americans be-
cause of their activities. 1t has
been common talk among Europeans
generally that the Yankees have been
going too fast a pace and this ac-
counts for the death of so many be-
fore they have really reached the
prime of life. But now the tables
have been turned The militant Mrs.
Parkhurst, she who has created such
% furore in London and throughout
England because of her cativities for
woman's suffrage, has landed in
America and her first criticism of
this country was that the women
are too slow in taking up the fight
for the ballot. Mrs. Parkhurst prac-
tically advised the women of this
country 20 adopt the tactics of Car
rie Nation, become 5elligerent and
get arrested and thrown into Jail in
an effort TO create public sentiment
and sympathy in their behalf.
1t is very doubtful whether Mrs.
Parkhurs.s ideas will appeal to
American women with very great
force. Most American women are toe
busy with their families TO spend
much time in jail and those who have
no families are too busy with society.
In this country the appeal of child
or an invitation to reception would
so appeal to the woman, that II would
be of little use trying to hold them
in Jail TO create public sentiment.

New York, Oct. 22-Two hundred
and thirtytwo pounds of James j.
Jeffries, the entire Mr.. Jefiries, in
fact, arrived in New York today
aboard the Lusitania after an abb
lsence of eight weeks. He returned
with color in his cheeks, a spring in
his step, laugh that betoken the
most buoyant health and, best Of all,
with his fighting blood up and anx-
ious TO sign articles for a fight With
Jack Johnson.
They cant get us together any
too soon to suit me-" declared the
undefeatei heavyweight, and his big
face took on a look OF iron firm
ness as, he said it.. ..43
Briefly, Jeffries says he is ready to
sign articles at once for fight with
Johnson; that he will fight before the
club. offering the largest purse for
any number of rounds from twenty
10 hundred and the largest share OF
the purse TO go to the winner.

But, seriously, when could you go
in at your top form"
Two months training would put
me there he replied carefully. But
/ mean what | say about being in
good shape now. I'm within five or
six pounds OF my fighting weight
right this minute"
And no one who saw the big fel-
low as he leaned over the railing of
the upper deck and shouted a greeting
to the score or more of newspaper
men who went out on a revenue cut
ter 10 meet him, will dispute Jeffries
statement regarding his condition.
Doesn't he look good?' remarked
Sam Berger, Jeffries' manager, who
was on the cutter.
The same thought was in the minds
OF nearly everyone who saw him.
The three weeks the champion put
in at Carlsbad worked a big i'm
provement in him.
Worked Hard at Carlsbad.
Il did ten miles road work when

in the vicinity OF the lower vest but
ton and asked him what had become
of the comfortable embonpont, this
wasn't the extra word. That was used
to nestle there.
He was taking a little too much
liberty and the big fellow hotly de-
clared that he never did have an un-
seemly paunch.

Will Attempt to Keep Liquor From Dry Section of Bristol-Many
 Saloons Throw Doors

Bristol. Tenn. Oct. 1.-To protect the Tennessee half of Bristol. which Is dry. against what is described as a threatened deluge of drunks" from the wet. or Virginia half of the city. Recorder T. J. Burrow, beginning to- day. will impose a minimum fine of S25 for drunkenness and declares "there is no guarantee that the fine will not be raised to a larger amount" This action of the recorder in giv- ing notice of the increased minimum fine for drunkenness. was taken be- cause today the saloons of the Virginia half of the city were thrown open in accordance with the court decision de- claring legal the local option election of July 8, which was won by the vets"
 In preparation for today's opening of the saloons in the Virginia half of the city. ten solid carloads of whiskey, beer and ardent spirits reached Bristol during the week. While the Tennes- see city has raised the minimum fine for drunkenness, the Virginia city will continue to impose a $10 minimum fine, also some of its people say that the fine should be lowered since the open. Ing of the saloons.
 Bristol is now the only city with saloons between Roanoke, Va, and New Orleans, a distance of nearly 1000 miles.
 Twelve saloons opened this morning at o'clock after a drought of eigh- teen months and it Is said others will open next Monday and the number may increase to twenty-five as against forty when the city was formerly wet"
 The license Is $3,oo0 per year.
 The return of saloons in Bristol was not without its tragic significance. Charles Kenny, a merchant of this county, fell under his wagon. while re- turning home from the city in an all legged intoxicated condition. and was almost instantly killed. He was well known in this section and was a pros porous business man. Until today, 1t is said, he had not taken drink for three years.
