.DENlSON PUBLIC
BUILDING ASSURED
Chairman Of the Committee on Pub
lie Buildings and Grounds Writes
Letter to Tho Review.
PRESIDENT TAFT SIGNS BILL
Architect Two Years Behind In Work,
Necessitates Waiting a White
Before Starting Building.

From letter received from Wash
ington on yesterday from Honorable
Richard Bartholdt, chairman of the
committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, we quote the following:
"The Omnibus Public Buildings bill
has passed through both the House
and the Senate, and went to the Presi-
dent for his approval last night. II
carries an item of $4,000 for your city.
My only regret is that this amount
could not have been made larger, but
it was necessary to harmonize the ap-
preparation for. your citysswith that
given to other cities of equal size.
Hoping that this is entirely satisfac.
tory to you. with kindest personal re
CARDS. I remain, Your friend. =
The associated press reports that
the President signed the bill, and it Ii
therefore now law. The fact that the
office Of the supervising architect is
almost two years behind with its work
will necessarily delay starting this
II
improvement for long time, but 1t Ii
only a question of time until the pub
lie building for the city will be under
construction. There is every reason
why the good people of Denison should
be thankful for the recognition which
comes to our city in the authorization
for the government building. Wller
we see the stars and stripes waving
over It, we should love the old flag 1
little better. It is up to our citixeni
to show their appreciation by renew
ing their efforts to carry out the pro
.|jects already planned, which mean 81
much for Denison. Let US make an
|other pull. q long pull and strong
s[pull and 9 pull altogether for the oper,
Ihouse, and without question We vii
succeed. When the opera house il
completed, then other improvements
which we have in mind, should b
taken up In their order.

TEND The
CONVENTION
Very Important That All Delegates
Elected at Primary Attend coun-
e ty Convention at Denison.
|HELD ON SATURDAY., JULY 2.
Delegates Should Come Early and
Work Of Convention Pushed So
They May Return to Business.

~ 1t is up to the delegates to. the
republican county convention, called
for Saturday, to say whether the
meeting shall be largely attended.
Delegates selected at the primary
should consider that they are officers
elected for the discharge Of an i'm
pOrtant duty. It is not a matter of in:
difference, but one of official responsi-
|bility, and the obligation created by
# can only be discharged by each del
egate making every sacrifice to at
tend the county convention. So far
as possible, delegates living at dis
tance from the county seat should
strive to reach here on the morning
trains, so that the work Of the con-
yention may be disposed Of In time
to permit them to take the early af-
ternoon trains for their homes. This
Iis especially important because the
Iconvention is to be held on Saturday,
the business mems busy day, and the
purpose should be to dispatch the
business of the convention at as early
an hour as possible in order to per-
init the delegates to return to their
homes to look after their private af,
fairs. No man should accept q posi-
Ition of this character unless he in.
tends In good faith to accept the re.
sponsibility which it carries and at
|tend the convention. We do not be.
lieve that any delegate to the county
convention in this county will be dis.
posed to treat lightly the obligation
cgeated by his election. It is desir
liable to have as large an attendance
Els possible in order to keep up the
party spirit and show that republi
|r4nism In Crawford county is posses
sed Of its former vitality. The time i.
coming when the republicans of Craw
ford county will come into their own
and will not be a minority party. The
reason for this condition now exists
and has for some time, and nothing
can be offered as reason why the,
should not enjoy what they are en-
4 titled to. Our advice is that ever,
j delegate should come to Denison OF
Saturday and come early, and atten,

DENlSON BUSINESS
MEN ENTER PRISINC
Many Evidences Of Enterprise That
Escape Notice Of Ordinary citi-
sss' zen Are Practiced.
ELEcTRIcAL CHANDELIERS HERE
Are Erected by Crawford County
State Bank at Corner Of Main
and Center Streets.

Evidences of enterprise on the
part Of business men of Denison are
so numerous and varied that It is not
an easy matter to keep track of all of
them. It is no surprise, Of late, to
hear Of one Of our, stores being en-
gagged in wholesaling lemons to such
an extent as to create envy on the
! part Of city wholesalers, or to hear
Of sugar and other commodities being
shipped in by the car load by another
firm.
The automobile trade has grown in
to stupendous proportions, which re
fleets credit not only upon the dealers
who sell the machines, but also upon
the farmers and others who are max
ing the purchases The city is max
ing a record for up-to-dateness along
all lines.
The latest improvement, and one
which gives the Crawford County
State Bank a long credit mark, is the
erection of an electrical chandelier
at the corner of the bank, near the
fountain on Main street. The bank
is to be congratulated on this evi-
dence of progressiveness. The chan
delier stands twelve feet high and is
surHounted with five large globes,
which will light the street for more
than a block each way. The chande.
lier Is put In at the expense of the
Y bank, but 1t is understood the city
agrees to pay the expense Of the light
after it is installed. This improve,
ment helps to put US In the class OF
larger cities, and saves one the time
and expense of going away from hons
to ascertain what the large cities are
doing, and the comforts they enjoy.
WeS6re pleased tu know that oul
people are interested and willing Il
spend their money to improve and ad
vance the interests of the city. Our
business men are prosperous, and it il
but proper that they should spen6
their money to make the city more at
tractive, rather than to send it away
for investment. While this light il
something of an experiment, we hope
1T will prove SO popular that all the
streets in-the business center of the
town may eventually adopt this kint
of light.

for people to avoid leaving their
