THE AUTOMATIC STORE.

Thomas A. Edison is threatening to
put the department store clerks out OF
business. Perhaps it, would be more
proper TO say the menace Is Indirect

any enmity to the clerks. In fact, he
does not feel anything of the sort so
far as anybody knows.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS,


A citizen Of Cairo, Fred Stcinhouse
received from his 81 ter, who resides
in Seattle. washington, clipping
from the Star of that city, which, "a
her opinion, might have some appli-
cation in Cairo. In Seattle, as here,
great public Improvement schemes
have been carried on for years
greater than those Of Cairo in the ag-
gregate, but not greater probably, IN
proportion to the size and wealth OF
the city, The clipping Is an editorial
comment BY the Star upon the decla-
ration of the city engineer OF that
city. that he will ask the city coun-
Gil to cali halt for at least one year
In civic improvement work OF any
magnitude, In order to give the tax
payers a chance to catch up. The
Star says:
Thanks, very much. Mr.. Thorn on!
There have been times in the past
when the Star couldn't agree vii
you II has seemed to us occasional
" that there was too much politics
In your office and not enough interest
in the city's welfare. But We are 90
ing to forget that in view Of your let
ter to the council asking that no
more Improvement work Of any mag
nitude ordered for year.
rOur action will strike a respon
siye chord In the heart Of every tax
payer In the city.
sWe have been going too fast. We
have been piling up debt against
the taxpayers which has been an j
most unbearable burden. We have
inaugurated street improvements be
fore they were needed We have bur
ried about work that could we'll har'
waited two, three Of five years.
I'VE have done all this at the be
hest Of the real estate Spectator
and the street contractor and tn
private selfish interest. WE have lai
burden upon nearly every HON
owner in this city.
f.The time was ripe to cali a halt.
THE Star and It's thousands of tai
paying readers realize that In tn
main this was necessary work-tha
nearly all or the work that has bee
done would have To be done som'
time.
'sBut Ms We look back over the ST
pendous aggregate Of this city's bull
ing accomplishment during the pa
eight years, We, the taxpayers, viii

past cry d loud Gmen when you a:
