The Sentinel will give the people

The ever growing military and naval
expenditures of Congress have aroused

except in the praise OF foreign nations
which our great fleets visit. Yet the
Pilot should remember that it is the
duty of the Republican party to spend
as much money as it can get. BY no
other means can 1t be held together.
The Bristol Herald Courier is de-
lighted at the general evidences of
business good fellowship in its town.
and thinks this auguts we'll for the
upbuilding of the town. II says:
There is a better feeling in Bristol
to-day than there has been in many
years Everybody Is getting ready to

1t is simply question of cause and
effect. When the business men realize
that their interests are the same. in

evitable AS long as the business men
are given over to petty rivalry or are
devoted to personal interests alone,
the city will not move forward step.
The clifton Forge Review naturally
keeps close TO conditions in the Ninth
and is watching the tight for Democ-
racy and Henry Stuart with the keen
est interest, 1t has discovered few
things about the arguments which are
going the rounds among the Republi-
cans in that section of the state, and
1t tells its readers of one device now in
use to catch the unwary:
Down in the Ninth District the Re-
publicans are telling the people IN the
country districts that the tariff is re-
sponsibe for the high prices they are
receiving for their products, and then
in the cities the people are assured
that the tariff has nothing to do with
the prevailing high prices. This Is a
case of carrying water on both shout
ders."
Exactly so. What are the Republi-
cans for except to work the game both
ways? This time. however, they are
riding to fall. The Ninth District is
not dead or even sleeping under the
domination of the Republican State
patronage mill.

A consistent pulling together OF

municipal advertising never fail to d.
the work.
