For Mayor, Keeper OF the Zoo and
Nut-Toter.

ne lllne is fapldly drawing neal
when i; will be up to the voters Of
Monroe TO select a mayor and board
Of aldermen. Although these posi-
tons in themselves are offices Of re
sponsibility, their main strength
lies in the creative power given the
incumbents. There has been crit
cisms made by some that supernous
Jobs were created However, | do
not claim this, but rather do | clam
or for more Offices.
Along with the condemnation Of
easy street jobs, comes much vi
tuperation against the menageric
situated on the northeast corner Of
the square. So much opposition has
been stirred up against this scene
Of Gagged ferJcity," that Jack Viii
liams the former champion Of the
much mooted hog question has been
induced to take the stump. Soon
this matchless orator, with a voice
that can rise like a temrest to such
commanding pitch that even the
leaves quake, and then fall to the
soft but far reaching whisper Of two
lovers at the A-muse-u, will come
out pause-but it is too good to
keep. Yes, Jack Williams has al
last yielded to the opportunities OF
his admirers, the pleadings Of his
friends, the hand Of fate, and will be
our next mayor.
The foregoing is given to the pub.
lie after due consideration and much
consultation with tine man of the
hour" With the swiftness of de-
cision that is always the mark Of
really great man, Jack Williams
stands ready to announce his plat
form. 1t is a progressive one, and
he demands many sweeping reforms,
but with that eye of inward nicely
like the present session Of Congress-
he advocates reform at home.
One more word, gentle voter, and
| leave the choice Of good govern
ment to your own discretion. Two
offices that this town needs are that
Of zoo manager and hickorynut-toter.
II will be the business Of the ZOO
manager to explain the history Of
the squirrels and other animals held
in captivity on the square, their
qualities as acrobats, their breeding
propensities, ETC., while il will be
the duty of the nut-toter to keep the
same beasts well supplied with that
article Of proverbial hardness. Two
gentlemen whose sterling qualities
Of manhood has never been ques-
toned, whose record for truth and
veracity is as pure as the Hibernian
SHOWS thrice washed in Ivory soap,
have submitted to popular clamor,
and will sacrifice their interests to
the public good by accepting these
offices. Like Demosthenes Of old
when elected public scavenger), il
the Office does not reflect credit on
them they will reflect credit on the
Office. W. X. Malone and John G.
Maynor, the men whose virtues |
have been so bold in exploiting, are
the sacrifices on the altar. Now get
busy, voters, and start the ball roll
ing. VOTERS.

A fierce battle was fought all day
long yesterday between the Mexican
troops and the troops lead by revo.
lutionists. The scene Of the battle
is near the United States boundary
line, and the town of Douglass, Ari.
IONA, was finder fire from both sides,
and six citizens Of the United States
were wounded. President Taft is
greatly worried, as he had previous.

AT LAST PUBLIC HAS FRIENDS

downward on the things the farmer
must buy, as well as revision down
ward on the things he produces
This is the keynote of the Demo.
cratic reciprocity and tariff program.
II differs radically from the reci-
pretty program contemplated by
the Republicans, which was: Greater
downward revision on the products
of the farmers than on the products
of the trusts.
Here are the articles that will 90
on the free list under the Democratic
program, each OF which would have
remained heavily taxed under the
Republican program:
Lumber. dressed meats and meat
products, flour, boots and shoes, sew
ing machines, saddles and saddlery,
wire fencing, baling wire, cotton
bagging and ties, burlaps and agri-
cultural implements, including har-
rows, plows, reapers, binders and
mowers.
This is not all Of the Democratic
program for the extra session. Fol
lowing as soon as possible after the
passage OF the reciprocity and free
list bills, the tariff will be revised
downward on wooden and cotton
goods.
The articles in these schedules on
which the greatest reductions will
be made will be blankets, underwear
and mems, women's and children's
clothing. The Democratic idea con-
templates the placing Of the lowest
tax on the cheaper grades Of wear
ing apparel used by the poor Tn.
der the Payne Aldrich law articles
used principally by the poor are
taxed twice as much as the higher
priced articles used by the rich.
In addition to reciprocity and tar
i'll revision downward, will come
bills providing for the direct cleo
ton Of United States Senators, which
passed the House Friday; publicity
Of campaign contributions before in
stead Of after election, and sepa-
rate statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico.

l.aIoIIette, the Prophet.

While Senator L9Follette Of Wis
consin was making his famous rail
road speech five years ago, Senators
Aldrich and Hale, to show their con-
tempt for the views being expressed,
retired to the cloak room. As they
passed out Of the chamber, LaFol-
lette said.
"Mr President, pause in my re-
marks to say this: | cannot be Who'll
" Indifferent to the fact that Sena-
tors by their absence at this time
indicate their want of interest in
what | may have to say upcn this
subject. The public is interested.
Unless this important question is
rightly settled, seats now Temporal
rily vacant may be permanently va
Gated by those who have the right to
occupy them at this time"
Again, while the tariff revision was
under discussion, LaFollette was in
suited, and he said:
II warn you that il you refuse TO
consider every proposition advanced
in behalf Of the public and carry
out your determination TO make this
tariff legislation but the instrument
by which special interests may en-
rich themselves by unjust exactions
from the public, the public will hold
you responsible and prove its resent
nent as certainly as elections are
held"
When the Senate convened on
April LaFollette's name was called
and he answered. But the names Of
Aldrich and Hale we're not called.
White House Economy.
Economy in public expense, that
labor may be lightly burdened," is
evidently not Taft policy. While
the Democrats have been endeavor
ing to abolish every useless Office in

dent Taft has justmade increases in
the salaries Of White House employ
ees as follows: Rudolph Foster, as
sistant secretary, salary increased
from $4,000 to $4,000; c. G. Wag-

Practically all the tariff bills pro-
posed by the Democrats have been

not meet with his approval. Minor

Swat the Fly.

Scientific Investigators have proved
conelusiveiy that the house fly, or ty-
phoid fly as it is now called, because Of
its activity in spreading the germs OF
this dread disease, is menace to hui
man life, and should be exterminated.
The American Civic Association has
named a fly fighting committee which
is helping 'sto hight the fly at all costs;
to exterminate the pest and conserve
human life and human health" 1t bas
issl ed special bulletin with the title,
."Kill flies and save lives" giving in
formation about the habits OF flies, the
reasons why they are so dangerous and
directions how TO get rid of them.
Cities and towns are taking up the
fight. In Baltimore last week meet
ing was held under the joint auspices
Of committee of the medical faculty
aud the Woman's Civic League, and
with the cooperation Of the state
Board of Health.
"The Fly aud the Market" was the
theme of the addresses and from va
rious standpoints was considered the
alarming toll, which disease demands,
jus, because people in the ignorance of
its causes, neglect the fundamental
principles of protection. 1t was urged
that Baltimore city pass an ordinance
requfnng the screening of all food
sLuAs placed on sale in the stores or
public markets.
Our City Council should be urged 10
give us food screening ordinance,
that we may be protected from disease
carried by flies.
