ARE WE rAID2

1t has been insinuated during the
present campaign that this paper
is supporting the republican ticket
and especially Governor Brady be-
cause we received government print
ing as compensation.
This is the same brand Of mali
cious and ill-smelling rot that has
eminated from various sources dur
ing the present campaign concerning
Governor Brady, this paper and pri-
vate individuals who incurr the dis
pleasure Of a certain gang who are
attempting to control things in the
state and this community
Anyone faminar with the politicei
end of newspaper knows that Gov
ernor Brady has nothing whatev =
to do with government printing ia
any manner whatsoever. Further, We
will say that Governor Brady has new
er diverted one dollar into this Office
in any manner as a donation, pub
lie printing or through any of tie
state offices.
The policy of this paper is not for
sale. We have never taken one dol
lar from a candidate or private in
dividual for the policy of this paper,
neither have we yielded to the de-
mands made upon us for support eth
er in the past or during the present,
for money. Not a single candidate on
the republican ticket has any inter
est in this plant or any control over
the paper in even the smallest d p
gree.
We defy anyone to prove that The
above is not a fact. Liars especially
requested to get busy.

HOME OPINION

Sometimes men and women, dis
satisfied with the methods employed

bers in the nomination of candidates.
rebuke such action by voting for the
opposition candidate, ever though not
member of the same party. This
condition. we presume. has brought
forth the idea so often repeated OF
voting for the man."
In the present campaign, however,
each person desiring to do so has
had an opportunity to express his
preference for candidates. The win
ing candidates are now upon the bal
lot. They represent the expressed
will of the majority of the members
of their respective parties. bound by
the platform which they have made
through their representatives APP
pointed for that express purpose.
In the event the individual Yoler
is not satisfied with the final action
of his party, he would then natural
ly, before casting his ballot for an
opposition candidate, inquire thor
oughly into the qualifications of that
opposition candidate.
candidates for governor. For the sake
of argument we will say that some
individual member of the republican
party is not satisfied with every ac-
ton of Governor Brady. Before vor-
ing for his opponent it is well to con-
slider what the effect of that vote viii

Mt. Aetna Not
AS Dangerous
In Activities
INTERNAL FIRES HAVE
SLIGHTLY SUBSIDIZED
IN VOLCANO.
Scientists Announce the
Greatest Danger Is
Over for Present.

CATANIA, March 26.-The internal
fires of Mount Aetna subsided slightly
today, the violence of the eruptions
decreased and the flo wof lava from
the rifles in the mountain began to be
Stacked. Scientists announce the
greatest danger is over for the pre-
sent.
The scenes throughout the night on
the mountain and it's vicinity were
awe inspiring. The skies were lit by
flames from the craters while cavern
Gus rumblings and sharp detonations
broke the silence. A molten food.
CONCEALED and rock-like by day, was
alight with the red glow of internal
fire and lambent flames player over
the mass.
The greatest danger to life now is
the recklessness of tourists who are
besieging the authorities with demands
for passes through the lines in order
to get a nearer view of the eruption.
So little fear is displayed by the
tourists that troops were compelled to
establish a deadline and threaten to
shoot any persons who passed 1t with
out permission. Many persons were
rescued by the soldiers after they had
been overcome by the sulphurous
fumes or partly sufficated by the ash
.aden vapors.

Gravel Is Good for
Street Paving.

Engineer r. H. Thompson, of Seat
tie, who was in the city yesterday in
the interests of the good roads move
ment, was in conference with the city
council yesterday afternoon relative
to the plan proposed some time ago tc
construct a storage reservoir in con-
nection with the gravity system, and
he estimated the cost of such an i'm
provement at $50,000. The figures
were based upon the average for 10
reservoirs thai have been built in
various parts Of the country during
the past few years, and for an out
lay of this sum Mr.. Thompson said a
100000 gallon storage plant could
be installed. =
Members of the water committee
were some time ago authorized by the
council to take preliminary steps look
ing to the sale of certain property
owned by the city, in order to raise
the money to defray the expenses of
such a reservoir. the Improvement be-
ing one Mayor Eugene Tausick's fa-
vorite policies. In his annual mes
sage more than a year ago the mayor
urged action along this line, but as
no action was taken by the council,
the subject was again called to their
attention. with the result that Coun-
Gilman Batchtold entered the motion
that the water committee take the nee
essary preliminary steps.
While no report has yet been made
relative to what has been accomplish
ed along the line of Sc ling city pro-
perty, it is known that members of
the water committee are following out
the letter of their instruction, and
hope to report in the immediate fu-
ture The plan is to have the reser-
voir completed within the next few
months, and Engineer r. III. Thomp-
son, who had charge of the installa-
tion of the gravity water system, lent
encouragement to the move, and as
sisted the council by the information
he was able to give.

While in consultation with Mr..

regarding the respective merits of

use in concrete base in street paving.
