uary 5rd. 1910, adopted by the COM
mon Council of the City of Sank
Centre without my approval.
Dated January 10, 1910.
f. e. MINETTE,
Mayor of City of Sank Centre.
J. w. Ward, local manager for the
Northwestern Telephone Exchange
Company, in an interview Tuesday
morning, outlined the plans of the
company as follows:
''The company will rebuild the
plant at once, expanding something
over $4,000 in the enterprise. Just
as soon as the frost is out of the
ground in the spring work will begin.
1t will take four months to complete
the work, which will be done in the
most substantial manner possible.
All poles will be taken from the
streets and set in alleys in districts
where there are alleys. All wires will
be put in cables. Every pole that
stands in the streets will disappear
except in a few localities where there
are no alleys. This change will rid
the plant of electric light influence,
and the farmer lines that are now put
out of service at night on account of
the electric lights will be as useful
at night as they are in the day. A
new switchboard has already been
ordered, thus making possible the
equipment of the Office with all the
newest and most modern appliances.
1t has not yet been decided where
the office will be located, as that mat
ter is left wholly with the engineer
ing department.
"The company estimates that it
will take four months to rebuild the
system. On the assumption that the
frost Will be out of the ground so that
work can begin April next, the sys-
tenn will he built and ready to put in
service by August /. Three months
after the plant is giving satisfactory
service the new rates will take effect.
This would bring the date for the
$3.50 and the $3.50 rate to 60 into
force, the first of next November.
Until the new plant is installed and
ready for use, the company will make
every effort to give as good service as
possible with the present plant. The
installation of the new plant will
give employmept to quite a GREW Of
men and teams here during the sum-
mer."
The new franchise runs for 25 years,
is not exclusive, and the maximum
rates provided for are maximum of
$3.50 per month for business houses
ond 81. so per month for residences.

Theodore. Dr.. and His Bride.

All the world loves a loYer-espeeially a
lover who has just taken unto himself a
June bride-and more especially thesJune
bride
So everybody extends congratulations
and best wishes 10 Mr.. Theodore RoOse-
welt. jr., and to young Mrs. Roosevelt.
It seems that they were childhood sweet
hearts-faithful and true the one to the
ether all these few years-and that makes
the contamination OF their romance not
only exceedingly interesting, but very
sweet, indeed.
Washington. perhaps. finds it some
what difficult Immediately to grasp the
idea that young Mr. Roosevelt has at
tanned the great dignity Of a married man.
But yesterday he was a boy. He de-
veIoped along eminently safe and sane
lines, and his determination to settle
down into a real man of the people-mar-
ried early and glad of It's. no doubt,
more than ordinarily gratifying to his
distinguished father, the former Presi-
dent OF the United States.
Mr. Roosevelt. jr.. bears inspection and
analysis most ereditably. Apparently. he
is well balanced-and If that is no more
than he should be, It is more than some
young men in his place would be. per-
haps We do not believe he will en-
deavor 20 make his way on the strength
of being a son OF his father. He is a,so
a son of his charming and altogether love
ly mother-which. we apprehend. counts
for much in his favor. asking the colo
neTs most gracious indulgence for the
moment
A serious-minded, somewhat matter-of-
fact, and normal specimen of young
America at its best is Mr.. Theodore
Roosevelt. jr. Our idea is that that Is
pretty hard to beat
And the bride. We feel quite sure. Is just
the sort Of bride such fine young Ameri-
can would select-and we believe she will
consider that a real compliment, too! We
are glad she is an American girl; just
as we are glad that young Mr.. Roosevelt
is not a foreign prince, or marquis, OF
earl. or something else of like persua-
sion. We revel in the realizatIoni tina;
this love affair-and we hope it is merely
! beginning, really-is domestic in its every
attribute and essential detail.

From the New Yosk Evening Post
Twenty miles OF streets were strewn
with rose petals in Portland. Greg. last
week A carnival procession marched
along these twenty miles. There were
girls wearing wreaths OF roses in place
Of hats; horses almost completely con-
ceaied beneath blankets of roses; and
floats on which roses were displayed in
masses. The fronts of the buildings along
the route were decorated In the same
way.
Portland seems TO OFFER the queen OF
flowers more congeniaI climate than

An English View.

We are not so sensitive, as a people,
10 the opinions Of our English cousins
as we were when Miss Trollope wrote
her impressions, or when Dickens turned
out Martin Chuzziewlt,'' but It IS well
sometimes TO hear what q conservative
foreigner has to say, especially on a
subject which is so near-not TO say
dear-to us that our judgment on it
may be slightly warped and prejudiced.
Mr.. H. G. Wells we all know. AS an
author. he has made many friends on
this side of the water. and because he
IS man who has done things" he is
entitled to be listened TO with respect.
In an article In Golfers, Mr.. Wells
writes about Col. Roosevelt and his re-
cent trip through Europe. He writes
Of the colonel as a talker and doer,
and he does not attempt to minimize the
influence that the coloneTs lectures have
had. But there is one utterance OF Mr.
Wells that We deem the most important.
1t is where he says:
But Mr.. Roosevelt has made us see
America in another light, as a land of
growing purpose and a new social con-
science. And he embodies as much as
any one man can do that social con-
science. That. think, has been his
cardinal work; that is why he stands out
before all other Americans in the Euro
pean imagination. and why so many of
us are disposed 10 watch him now with
such unqualified expectations"
This is TO say, in other words. that the
tour Of Col. Roosevelt had done much 10

in which we are held as nation.

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
Jack Cade's Rebellion-June e.

Almost 100 years after the famous Wat
Tyler rebellion there broke out another
similar Instruction In England, which
was known as the Jack Cade rebellion.
This instruction was named after Its
leader. Jack Cade, and had rs beginning
in Kent on June q 1450. Cade was OF
Irish birth and had served in the French
wars Assuming the name Of Mortimer
and claiming relationship with the Duke
of York. he marched with 10000 TO $1,000
armed men on London and encamped at
Blackheath, whence he s kept up com
munication with the citizens. many of
whom were in secret sympathy with the
uprising.
The court sent to inquire why the
good men Of Kent" had left their homes.
Cade. in a paper entitled THE Complaint
OF the Commons Of Kent" replied that
the people were being robbed of their
goods for the Kings use; that mean and
corrupt persons, who plundered and OPP
pressed the commons, filled the high
offices at court: that 1t was "noised that
the Kings lands in France had been
alienated:" that misgovernment had BAN
ished justice and prosperity from the
land: that the men of Kent were espe-
ciaily ilI-treated and overtaxed. and that
free election of knights Of their shire had
been nindered.
The court sent its answer in the form
of an army, before which cade retreated
to Seven Oaks, where he awaited the at
tack of a detachment, which he defeat
ed. The royal army refused TO fight
against their countrymen. The court
made some concessions. and Cade en-
tered London on July 3. For two days
he maintained the strictest order; but he

Caste in the Army.

From the Delineator.
One thing not commonly understood
among civilians is the completeness OF
the barrier which divides army officers
from the soldiers-or. as they are more
generally called, the "men." n is always
vastly amusing to those familiar with the
service to observe the errors in this re-
spect frequently made by the novelist
and the playwright.
Personal qualifications have nothing
whatever to do with the matter A SOL
der may be a gentleman who has en-
listed with the purpose OF obtaining a
commission; yet there can be between
him and his officers no social intercourse
OF any sort and severe penalties would
be inflicted upon the officer who would
attempt to disregard the rule.
II might seem that this enforcement OF
a caste sense would result In much hard
feeling on the side of the men. Such,
however, Is not actually the case 1t is
taken for granted and recognized as con-
ducive to i'good order and military disci-
pllne." 1t is military regulation like
any other, and implies no disgrace. Dr.
rectly a soldiers enlistment Is out or d.
recty he rises from the ranks, the prohi-
bition is removed.
