My Trip South.


 Steamer Alamo, March |.
 DEAR PATRIOT .-Ilere we are, a mixed company of quite congenial people, aboatthirty-five passengers al- together. representing nine States and also the Province of Ontario.
 We have been sailing under eloHi- less skies and perfectly smooth seas since sailing out of New York hafb0r, bidding good bye to the Goddess of Liberty as the last object of interest as we steamed away into the broad and trackless ocean.
 This morning, when we awoke, We found the steamer skirting along in plain sight of the coast of Florida and well down towards and within hun dred miles of Key West. We shall reach there at about o'clock this af- ternoon.
 Sunday evening we sailed around the dreaded Cape Hatteras, with no more motion to the boat than when sailing down the Providence River af- ter bake jun bketing.
 Every passenger is found at his seat at the table three times day, as he has done during the entire voyage thus far.
 It will doubtless be difficult for you to picture rs body of passengers is seeking shelter all day under the avn. ing, to keep out of the hot rays of the sun and to keep comfortably cool.
 Can you imagine the enjoyment of an invigorating shower bath just 3e. fore breakfast, in water right out of the Gulf Stream The water was not as cool as The ordinary salt water found at our Northern seashore resorts in summer time.
 Among the personages making our family o passengers, we have lawyer from massachusetts,, Professor from Ontario, a typical representative from the New Rich, from Pennsylvania, several well-to do merchants, also from Pennsylvania, a railroad contractor from Iowa, woolen manufacturer, a breezy young man from Kansas, a wealthy lumberman from West Nir- ginia-w ho ls whispered to be a bach. eler, and therefore k of especial inter est to the young ladies of our compa ny which includes a rich and beautiful young willow. There are others whose eccentrieities would be hardly proper to mention in print.
 Although such a varied company all the passengers seem equally to i'm. bibe the spirit of the "Sunny South7 as they gather together in the twilight and join heartily in the music of "Old Black Joe, T Ben Bolt, and other ia. miliar airs.
 The party is not so large as to pre-, vent us getting qulle well acquainted, and think all will regret the hour when, arriving at Tampa, we separate and each bids one another good bye as he starts en his special destination.
 For m absolute rest of mind and oody give us d trip 10 Tampa on the Alamo. GEO. r.. SHAW.

Regarding Milwaukee.

Editor Of THE PATRIOT
 \ few weeks ago THE PATRIOT puo- Iished statements by Alderman Bogk of Milwaukee in which he tried to show how the Socialist Administra- ton had increased the taxes and en- larged the city's pay Toii.
 As an answer quote the following from the March 4 Appeal to Reason:
 The present tax levy on which Mil waakee people are uuW paving taxes was made by the former admlnistra- , ton and the assessment made by for mer capitalists appointed assessors. 1 Only the new levy 10 be paid next year is by the Socialists, and will be assessed by them. The Social ists fell heir to the extravaganza, mis- Use of money, and debts of the notorl- ous Rose administration. The pay rolls have been increased because the city is eliminating the biggest grafter that lives on the spoil of eities-the contractor, and the work will now be done by the city direct, and the work men paid by the city. Then, too, it will be remembered that the city closed up the dives and lost this reve- nue. If the legislature will give the city administration the power to operate public utilities the Socialists will in d few years give the tax payer the lightest burden he has ever borne.
 A more specific reply is made by Controller Dielz of Milwaukee. As published in the x. Y. Call March 6, it is as follows:
 The charge that the payTolls during the first six months of the present ad- | ministration have increased SIS, ,593. 1O is explained by very good and suffi- cient reasons, mainly among which is the fact that during those months the city was doing thousands of dol lars of public work on it's own account, which would otherwise have been let to private contractors. The increase is covered by the following items: Sal. aries fixed bY the former administra. ton iu police and fire departments, which the present administration had 10 pay, S2l ,00S.70 increase under the extraXagance of the old board of pub lie works before they were let out of of ice, s2i, ,239 06; all other purposes, in- cluding construction ot 18th street via duct, S73,3 ,355.94. Total, SIS, ,593.70.
 
 street Viaduct amounted to S44, ,9lS.oO.
 Any one with grain of common sense can understand the following: If the work had been let to private contractors there would have been no charge on the city's books for labor under those contracts, but the entire amounts, including material and the contractors profit, would have been charged under one contract item. Where, however, the city does the work, the entire amount is divided on the books as so much for labor, so much for material, and the profit is eliminated to the advantage of the city. Neces sarily, therefore, when the city did it's own work during these months, the item of wages on the eity's books was increased accordingly. The only question involved on this point Is what benefits accrued to the city" The answer is the contractors profits
 To counteract the misrepresenta- tions printed in papers all over the country regarding Milwaukee, Social. istS are distributing some two million copies of the March 1 Appeal to Rea- son, 400 copies being distributed in Putnam.

-The RnffaIo Chamber of Commerc

The Buffalo Chamber of Commerce has voted, SIS to 31, in indorsement of the commission form of government. It will now work for the passage of a bill before the New York Legislature submitting To the voters of Buffalo a charter for such form of government. IL is q favorable sign to see the larger cities Of the Easti adopt the commis- sion form of municipal government. They are not doing this without care fult examination of it's advantages in practical operation. But like every form or government, the people must take an active interest in the commis- sion system in order to derive the best results. The new charters are design ed to win greater participation by the people than than do the systems they replace.

 end at noon Ss turday, left an unen
 viable record Legislation demanded

 that discredits national legislslion-
 the Senate-the more august body
 was the greater transgTessor. It made
 necessary the calling special session of Congress on April 4th, by prevent ing the Canadian Reciprocity agree ment coming 10 vote. The President gave due notice that 8 special session would be called should the Senate pre- vent a vote 10 be taken. The special session will be more likely to adopt the Reciprocity agreement than the retired Congress, 50 that nothing could be gained by mol allowing vote to be taken.
 Among the measures defeated for the l ack Of opportunity to act upon then' were the Permanent Tariff Board and the Parcels Post system. There were eight other measures defeated some of which had passed the Senate and some the House.
 senator Mclean, who fills Balke- Iey's seat plans to make short trip to Connecticut before the extra session of Congress eonvenes on April 1. It may be depended upon that he will re- present the wishes Of bis State In ait that he has 10 do with legislation.
 Breaking all records by some thous- ands. the lofai number of public and pn4ate biIls introduced in the House during the three sessions of the Com gre-s just closed, was 35,0l5, besides 1 .5O0 resolutions of various kinds.

The ancient way for Connecticut to elect her State Senators tor Assist ants, as she called them, because they were assistants to the Governor in car rNing on the government, and her GongresSmen (of W hom she had seven 1, was to nominate twenty Senators and fourteen CongreSsmen by direct prim- arS, and then six months later, for each man in the State to vote on a gen eral Statewide ticket, for the twelve ot the nominees for the Senate and the seven of the nominees for Congress whom he preferred

Has been the business of the Hevwood Boot and Shoe Company for almost half a century Styles in "frames' have undergone many changes during all those years, but the high standard of excellence established away back in 1864 has been concientlously maintained. It IS no idle boast to claim that ''Heywood" on boot or sloe is an unquestoned guarantee of select materials and skilful workmanship It has alaays been one of tie tenets of our business to consider first the requirements of the foot, framing it comfortably and elegantly ln accordswith the prevailing modes w, do not manufacture freak shoes or models which openly disregard the anatomy of the human foot.
