valuation so obtained the assessed
value is fixed at 90 per cent. One

telligent champion of the consasva-
ton policy. He has at least recog-
nized the need for tariff reform
which is a good deal more than can
be said for his predeeessor-and is
trying, in what, however, we believe
to be mistaken way, to bring it to
pass. In all this he has had little
support from the party leaders of
either faction. That is fact which
the people have not failed to note.
The reactionaries do not like him
because they have not been able to
control him. The insurgents are
fighting him because, as they say, he
has "repudiated the Roosevelt pol
icies Whatever they are In such
a situation the only thing for him
is to do his duty as he sees it, and
to trv to see it Alright. He lost a
great chance when he failed to APP
prove the bills reducing the tariff,
for such action. besides being in the
interest of the people, would have
been challenge to the insurgents
that would have greatly embarrassed
them. But he will have other chances
for, in spite of his difficulties, he
has not been wholly deserted by
luck. He can accomplish nothing by
dealing now with one faction and
now with the other, for the only eff
feet of such a policy will be to please
neither. But he can make Roadway
by an honest and brave effort to
serve the people without distinction
of party.

He Likes Cider.

No man In town likes a glass of
cider better than our friend James S.
Reeve, the cold Roman" How
ever, he is particular to have his
cider all right. hence he spent two
days and FIVE hours exactly in peck
ing and sorting over the apples,
icok them to the mill with a bran
new barrel. and had his cider made.
He got a horse and wagon and got
the barrel home. and for fear some
thing would happen to spoil the elder
refused to let any one help him put
it in the cellar. Well, the story is a
sad one, for the barrel was too much
for him, went to the bottom too fast
burst open, and the cider went from
the floor of the cellar down through
the sewer to the river. Mr.. Reeve
went to the place where the sewer
empties into the river and fouLd the
earn and other fish dancing In the
water, but it is certain that Mr..
Reeve will not invite his friends to
eat walnuts and drink apple jack
with him this winter.

GREAT PLAY TO Be
GIVEN IN PLYMOUTH
Maeterlinck's "Blue Bird" Will Be Ren-
dered BY Cora Nell Patten on Nov.
7th.---What the Play is and Means.

Plymouth people will have an op-
portunity to hear one of the great
est of the modern plays, Maeter
linck s 1.-THE Blue Bird given here
next Tuesday night, Nov. z, by Miss
Cora Mel Patten. Miss Patten has
read here before, and though hel
audience was not large at the time
all who heard her were highly pleas
ed and felt that she deserved q
packed house. About one hundred
and twenty-five people have already
contracted for tickets and her audi
ence this time promises to be high
ly satisfactory.
"The Blue Bird" is to be given
under the auspices of the Saturday
Club for the benefit of, the Public
Library. 1t will be presented in the
Knights of Pythias Hall at about
'clock. This will give those who
desire to do SO an opportunity to at
tend meeting for time.
"The Blue Bird by Maurice
Maeterlinck, has made great popu-
lar success. 1t is "Fairy Play in
Five Acts Tt is an allegory just
as much as Pilgrims Progress is an
allegory.
Maeterlinck's plea in this play is
D simple one-that it is not neces-
sary to go far afeld in search Of

only know just where to look for it..

Commercial Club committees if the
council wishes. TO automatically
handle the matter so as TO bring
about a permanent and amicable
solution and thereby get the Bell
service for the Sanitarium, factories
and others who constantly use its
lines.
1t will not be difficult matter for
the council to find out what is be-
ing charged in ssimilar cases for
such service. what Is the cost of
maintaining such service and what
a reasonable charge would be. Know
ing this, they are in a position TO
help bring the companies TO a just
agreement.
We do not believe that the Gus
toner should pay for the connection
with the home company. The toll
charges are enough. This connec-
ton is as much a part of the cost
of maintaining the lines as is the
poles themselves, However, all
these matters can be thoroughly
digested and decided when the sub
jeet is considered.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
The President and His Party.
indianapolis News


Undoubtedly as leader of his party
and as. its candidate next year, Mr..
Taft feels that the only policy pos
sible for him Is to keep In the mid
die fthe road. With the insurgents
earnestly trying to knife him, and
the standpatters endeavoring to
kidnap him, he is, indeed, in a
rather uncomfortable position. To
ally himself with either faction
would be to invite the sure hostility
of the other. And yet there does
seem to be way TO win the ap-
proval of the people, and to hold it,
and that is by doing his duty as
President of the United States with
out any thought whatever of the eff
feet of his action on either faction.
1t is impossible to please the self
constituted leaders of the two fac
tions, for they have m&de up their
minds not to be pleased. But the
people are more reasonable-and a
good deal more patriotic.
The standpat leaders, as was shown
in The News yesterday, would not
be sorry to see the party defeated
next year. Mr.. Taft is great deal
too progressive to suit them. The
Wall street contingent is bitterly
opposed to him. The idea of these
men is that the defeat of the Re
publican party next year, and four
years of Democratic administration,
would give them control of the situa-
ton in 1916, and bring about a
restoration of the old order. The
view is not shared by the rank and
file of the party. On the other hand,
the insurgents seem to have decided
almost at the very beginning of the
Taft administration that it was to
be a failure. 1t was within nine
months of his Inauguration that Gift
ford Pinchot wrote his famous let
ter to Theodore Roosevelt, then in
africa, in which he gave up all hope.
The President was tried and con-
depaned by Pinchot and the rest be-
fore he had hardly got started.
Nothing could have been more un-
just.

minded people. and they are going
