ancestor orrelatives buried in the old
Methodist Cemetery in the town Of
Milford, those who practically give
their services towards its occasional
clean-ups, have been compelled to
beg from the public contributions
to assist in making this old grave
yard less Of an eyesore than it is,
by cutting the weeds and grass,
and trimming out underground.
When those who have fathers,
mothers, husbands, wives and child
ren buried there, fail to care for
their last resting place, it is high
time that it be abandoned entirely,
and the remains be removed 10 an
other grave yard where at least
their last resting place will be kept
in a slightly condition. The pave
ment and fencing also need repairs.

WAR TO THE KNIFE

The fight is on between the pro-
gressives and standpatters in the
next Congress. Cummins, of the
progressives, has declared war
against Cannon, of the standpatters,
and what the end will be no one
knows. 1t is thought that Taft
leans towards the Cummins crowd.
Anyhow, Cummins has been invited
by Taft to come to Washington and
advise with him as to the tariff fea-
ture of his coming message to Con-
gress. The issue is clear between
the two elements and everybody ap-
pears ready to fight it out. I'VE

Cannon will be spiked. The speaker
is a political fake; the sooner he is
crushed the better for the country
and all its people.
