AN OPEN LETTER
 TO THE VOTERS
Setting Forth the Views of One of Our Citizens on an All
 Important Question

That was very happy, almost a shrewd remark of Tennyson' $. when he said, that 'knowledg ge grows but wisdom fingers. ; After all the greatest difficulty in life is to make knowledge eff fective to convert into practical wisdom. We often confuse the two and we think they are iden. tical, but Cowper says that far from being one they often have no connection whatever. This seem to be applicable to our past legislators. Now as the time is approaching for the election of l legislators and county officers we as voters and tax payers should wake up to sense of our duty. duty we owe to ourselves and to our state and county and do our best to elect honest, compe- tent men as our representatives. Let us elect business men who will go into the legislature in the New Capitol and do that which is right and not desecrate the fine new State Capitol at the start. I, for one, have quit vot- ing for a man because he is a good fellow and a friend, wheth- CT he is competent to fill the of flee or not. Too much of this has been done in the past for the good of the country. Vote for competent and worthy men. who are capable of filling the offices to which they aspire, from legis- lature down to constable.
 There are lots of good fellows socially, and as clean as they can be who are not competent to fill the offices to which they aspire, while there are men who we would not like so well socially and do not look upon them as being good fellows, who are really more competent to fill the
The Carlisle independent., 1910-02-10

offices to which they aspire than the one we vote for because he is a good fellow If we want the affairs of our state and coun- ty to be conducted right. we must first look to the competen- cy, honesty and business qualifi- cations of the men we vote for.
 I used to vote for men because 1 liked them personally, and be- cause they were good clever fel- lows, but 1 have resolved to vote in the future only for staunch men, as 1 think are honest, com potent and have the business capacity to fill the offices to which they aspire. Our officers should be men of honesty, integ rity and god-fearing and feign to do right and abhor evil Do we, as voters and tax payers, realize the fact as to where we are drifting, and just so long as we elect men to fill the different positions of legislators and other offices who have no other object in view except to accomplish their own ends, such as killing time in the legislature for their own benefit. to the detriment of the peoples and states interest. Just as long as we send such men to represent us. who useless ly waste their time and get an extended term of sixty days, which is an enormous expendi ture of the peoples money use lessly, our state treasury will be empty and a deficiency of means to keep up our charitable institu tions and an embarrassed condi- tion of our state treasury, and state government, and the cry will be high rate of taxation Men say, Why is our taxes so high?" It's plain to be seen that this extra sixty days of our legis- lature is a large useless expendi- ture, which is one great cause, while there may be other causes. Now, fellow citizens, voters and taxpayers, it is up to you to stop this, and no one else can stop it. It seems to me that the peo- ple of this country are getting to be subjects of the men who come to them and solicit their votes. This is the way it has been in Ireland for many years. Our free and republican form of government of which we boast as free and independent peo pie, it seems, is fast drifting away from us. Now, this is caased by the carelessness of the people. They elect too many good fellows, who are either in competent or work for their own selfish notions, instead of the people who elect them to these important offices.

Disaster.

New York-Over score of sailors
from the battleship New Hampshire
are believed to have lost their lives by
drowning when the tender, loaded with
80 or 80 men, whose shore leave had
expired, was swamped or upset in the
Hudson river about $50 feet from the
West 18th street dock.
Midshipman Godfrey de Chevalier,
who had charge Of the tender, was
taken from the water unconscious and
is in the ships hospital. 1t is report
ed that he saved Is sailors before ex-
haustion overcame him.
When the deeply laden tender set
out from the shore, towed by launch,
there was a strong wind blowing across
the river and kicking up choppy waves
The sailors we're singing and joking
at the top of their voices, when the
craft struck large wave, dumping a
great quantity of water into the boat
Another wave threw water over the
gunwales.
Seeing that the boat was sinking.
some of the sailors sprang overheard.
The fellows first overheard made the
jump, as one sailor explained, because
they were expert swimmers, and got
out hoping to Tighten the cutter.
Their jump was made at the behcst OF
heavy-voiced sailor, who shouted
every man who is a good swimmer
jump out"
A moment more and the cutter was
awash, with her load of jackies strug-
Cling in the water. Some chung to the
water-logged craft, strong swimmers
gave hand to the weaker ones, while
dozens shouted the familiar call "Mar
overheard" This cry WAS heard or
the New Hampshire, and the steam
launch put out to the rescue
The launch rendered valuable assis.

er boat, which CHANGED to be on the
scene, every man in sight was taker
out of the water. Whenever a bob
bing head showed, man was rescued
But in the darkness several sank, ant
others were almost unconscious whei
dragged to safety.
On board the New Hampshire 6
were counted with wet clothes, in
dicating merely that 81 had been save
and leaving blank the more serious ga
Of possible dead. AS $50 men fron
the ship had shore leave, there was n
way of ascertaining just how man,
were aboard the tender. Several sail
ors who were in the upset boat hest
tated to estimate the number lost, al
though those who are inclined to TAX
more serious view of the affair place
the list as high as thirty.
There was given out from the battle
ship list of 29 men who were sur
posed to have persisted. Appended t
this list are the names of IL men VIII

recognized as having been in tn
