When it comes to the building of now
sidewalks It is hoped that the commit
tee will give some attention to the en-
frances TO driveways over the side
walks from the streets at several points
and see to it that the steep, long and
Unneces sary grades are materially re-
ducad, bearing in mind the fact that
the greater number to be accommodate
ed should be given just little consid-
Grafton. There are at least a dozen OF
these objectionable places along Bank
street and now is the opportune time
to apply the remedy. Where one team
uses the driveway thousands of pedes-
TRANS walk across them and to their
peril. especially in the night season.
There is no more need of these steep
driveways than those in front of the
firehouses in Bank street which are of
easy grade and hardly noticed by those
who walk in Bank street. If Bank
street is to be improved make the i'm
proNement complete and not have the
new sidewalks punctuated by these
Objectionable steep driVawaNS that
cause church members to feel it in

some of those steep grades in the side
walk.

Eek Governor Thomas M. Waller,
who was booked for the permanent
craftsmanship of the democratic state
convention preferred remaining at his
Barney castle at Ocean beach, pick
ing posies in the early morning from
his own little garden. meandering over
his broad domain and resting under
the shae of the trees and listening to
what the Wild waves were saying, than
being confined in a convention hall and
posing as leader to hope that was
hOpelesSly forlorn. Governor Waller
is rightly termed the father of Ocean
beach.
The Ocean beach colony is of the
governors own creation and most Of
the improvement was done under his
personal supervision. It was he who
secured the Mott property. too. and
converted it into what's now gnown as
Neptune park, one of the most attrac-
tive summer residential places on the
Atlantic coast. His latest purchase
was the old DR. Elliott stone house.
located between Ocean beach proper
and Neptune park.
The governor has remodeled and
greatly improved this property and has
so transformed the old stone house that
it is the most attractive in the beach
colony He has selected the place as
his summer home and has given the
quaint structure the appropriate name
of Barney Castle for be it known that
during of his political speeches the
eloquent speaker touched a tender spot
in the hearts of some of his hearers
when he referred to the noble traits
of the Irish character and made no
bones of asserting that he was some
thing of an Irishman himself
1t can be put down as a fact that
there is but one Governor Thomas NJ.
Waller and in the present generation
there does not seem to be any to take
his place in politics. in law or in bust
ness. Waller is the man who has
made New London famous.

The noble action of James Brennan
who died hero in rescuing . little
girl at Ocean beach whom he supposed
was drowning, is worthy of more than
passing notice. and is a case that
should receive the attention of the
fund. Mr.. Brennan leaves a widow
and eight children. but fortunately the
children are all of an age that they
can care for themselves. but ample
provision should be made for the
widow. Mr.. Brennan was a moulder
by trade and one OF the very best
Several years ago the heat of pouring
off so affected his eyes that he was
for a time almost totally blind, but by
long and scientific treatment his sight
was partially restored, but he was for
ever prohibited from resurning work at
his trade. He was therefore compelled
| to do odd laboring jobs of a light
nature and wherever he could find en-
| ployment.
| Ie finally was employed by the park
| commissioners to help keep clean the
! bathing beach and the beach avenues,
and was engaged in this work at the
| farther end of the beach, when the
| chaperone of the little girl struggling
| in the water shouted that the girl
was drowning.
Mr.. Brennan needed no urging to 60
to the aid of the child, so just as ne,
was he rushed into the water secured

calls to mind among his old shopmates
the cheerful disposition and good fell

Declares Investigation Not Most Sc
rious Proposition Now on in Wash
inoton

Baltimore, March 3.-The Ballinger-
Pinchot affair smacks strongly of
grandstand play, according to United
States Senator Cummins of Iowa, here
yesterday because of the illness of his
wife. The senator says the investiga-
ton is by no means the most serious
proposition now on in Washington.
THE people, thru the newspapers"
said the senator, have obtained the
idea that the investigation is to de-
eide whether the methods and ideas of
Pinchot or Ballinger are the right ones.
1t is not this. The only question before
the committee is this:
is Ballinger an unfaithful public
servant and has he violated the ma
tional laws? Roosevelt's conservation
policies never took concrete form. He
started a great work and whatever his
ideas were, Pinchot is his prophet. He
was an efficient worker and accom-
plished much good. But public SER
want can be too zeaious-not that l am
criticizing Pinchot Still, it is possible
for one to go too far

Demand For Farm Mares.

Never has the demand for farm
mares been so large in the Chicago
maket as it is at the present moment.
Never have prices been so high. Never
have so many individual purchasers
been on hand to select from one to
three pairs for their personal use. With
the opening of the trade right after
Jan. i, the farm buyer put In his APP
pearance and his delegation has stead
lily increased in volume ever since.
Some very good mares have gone back
to the country, but for the most part
the class has been from medium down
to poor. Some few buyers have come
in with the determination to purchase
young, fresh, breedy stock, believing
that such animals will pay better than
underside mongrels, and in this are
eminently correct. Still vast numbers
of mares have been taken for ship
ment to the rural regions that Will

Politics May DeveIop-lssue Comes
to Head.
Especial Correspondence

Washington, March 3.-An indefinite
proIongation of the session of congress
may result from the decision in the to-
bacco trust case. This is one of the
possibilities which is now recognized
by members of the senate and house
that decision.
This is the way the situation stands,
from the viewpoint of a good many
members: The government is likely to
win the case and the court may hold
that the Sherman law is sweeping in
its application; in that case, the de-
partment of justice will feel impelled to
begin a number of prosecutions; the
cry will go up that business will be
injured and there will be great pres
sure on congress to legislate
Congress will at once desire to do
something to ameliorate conditions for
various combina tions which are threat
ened. But at the same time, it will be
afraid to do so on the eve of con-
gressional campaign. Members will be
fearful of taking any step that might
be considered letting down of the
Sherman law with fight for nominal
ton and election ahead of them.
May Go Into Campaign.
The result may be to throw the ques-
ton of control of trusts and combina-
tons into congressional politics and
into the congressional campaign. 1t is
looked on by a good many members on
each side of house and senate as likely
to overshadow every other issue in the
campaign.
For the present, there is a lull in the
consideration of the question of ma
tional Incorporation. The bill has been
shelved and for days. 1t has seemed
there was no hope for it. But it is real
lied that if the tobacco trust decision
is as sweeping and far reaching as
many expect it to be and as We're the
findings of the lower court it may sud-
denly be revived, and a great effort
made to shove it thru this session.
It Is impossible to disguise the fact
about the capitol that members are
giving a great deal of thought to the
questions which will be raised one way
and another by the tobacco trust de-
cision; or that they. are wondering
what the political effect is going to be.
For forty years. said a republican
member Of the house today, 1--WE have
gone on lodging and squirming on the
questions connected with the regula
ton and the prosecution of the big
trusts and combinations. Now. we have
at last come up against the stone wall

be escaped. The thing has gone to a
point where there must be show
down. To my mind, it is the biggest
question which stands ahead of con-
gress"

FEWER JAPs ON COAST.
1000 Less in California Today Than
Two Years Ago.

Spokane March 3.-Dr. H. B. john
son of San rancisco, superintendent of
Pacific japanese missions, who is max
ing tour of the northwest. declared in
an interview in Spokane that there are
1000 less japanese in California today
than were in the state two years ago.
Those migrating to other states are not
included in his estimate.
Several thousand have also returned
to Japan from other states since 1908.
The recent run on the Japanese-Ameri-
can banks has caused a financial de-
preston among the Japanese. he said,
and this is augmented by the fact that
the American banks refuse to advance
money on lands for which the Japanese
are paying on the contract plan.
He intimated that the immigration of
the mikado's subjects to the Pacific
coast will be smaller in the future, be-

Chicago, March 3.-Hog buyers ham,
mered the market today and sent prices
down 1920 cents under the best Of
yesterday Top prices quoted today
was $685.
Advance in hog values has been so
rapid in the past month that the most
optimistic traders have been surprised.
A month ago when the best hogs We're
selling around So, very few had the
rashness TO assert that hogs would sell
at SO by the first of March. tho many
predicted that price by the first of
April Now that hogs have passed the
$40 mark. there are all kinds of pre-
dictions as to how high values will soar
before the summit is reached. and
prices start the other way. There are
many who contend that there is moth
ing that will arrest the upward flight of
the market. except larger receipts. and
they will not be forthcoming till next
fall. 1t certainly looks like an era of
high hog prices for some time to come.
Cattle.
Cattle generally were 10 cents lower
than yesterday. The best figure re-
ported was s7.e5
Anything with decent killing grade
was quickly snapped UP by either the
packers or shippers. Competition be-
tween these forces, was keen from the
outset, and buyers were not inclined to
get very far away from a drove of cat
tie after bidding on them.
Packers buyers dug deep into the
feeder crop, taking away from the feed

liberal crop of these, and We're willing
TO pay considerable premiums for them

Charlton, March 3.-John III. Darrah.
candidate for the republican nominal
ton for congress in the Eighth Iowa
district. today issued a formal state
ment of his position on various issues
now before the people. He says:
an my formal announcement as q
candidate for the republican nomin-
alton :. for representative in congress
from this district, I promised that
would, at a later date, submit to the
voters of the district further state
ment of my views respecting the i'm
portant questions which will come be-
fore congress for consideration in the
near future.
"The sincerity Of the promises and
protestations of a candidate for office
respecting his friendship for certain
policies favored by the people can best
be judged by his past record on sim
liar public issues, and in order that the
voters OF the Eighth district may have
a fair opportunity Of determining the
attitude which shall assume If elected
to congress, upon the important issues
and public policies that will demand
the consideration of congress within
the next few years, desire to submit
a few facts regarding my past affifia-
tons and public record.
"In seeking the nomination to this Of
flee, am asking recognition at the
hands of a party with which I have
always affiliated, and for whose sue,
cess have always labored
The republicans of Lucas county,
honored me three times with the Of
flee of representative in the general
assembly of the state and as their
representative was an early advocate
and gave my earnest support to the
following mea sures: The anti-pass
law, the 2-cent fare law. the primary
election law, the law prohibiting the
over-c pitalization Of corporations. the
anti-discrimination law, the child labor
law, the law limiting campaign contrib
buttons and compelling the publicity Of
campaign expenditures, the joint rate
law, the pure food law, and all other
legislation demanded in republican
state platforms and enacted under re-
publican administration.
Whether my support of the above
measures, or similar measures is con-
sidered just plain 'republicanism, pro-
gressive or Roosevelt republicanism, or
some other kind, desire to say that
whatever it's name, it Is the kind be-
lieve in and shall continue to practice.
I desire to reaffirm the statement
previously made that If nominated and
elected, I will vote against the re-
adoption Of the present rules OF the
house of representatives, and for q rea-
sonable restriction of the speakers
powers I deem a revision OF these
rules necessary in order that the indi-
vidual representative may at least have
a fair opportunity of -discharging the
responsibility with which he is COM
missioned, namely, that Of representing
his constituents.
