AId n.Im.I for a Square peal.


To the Editor OF The Times: The
natural gas proposition which was
brought to the attention OF our city
by j. w. Martin is, see, approved Dy
j. F. Lynn. Mr.. Lynn also states the
great benefit II would be TO Detroit,
something which We all know. Tne
whole trouble with Mr.. Lynn seems 10
be that he wants TO be the man VINO
will arrange the preliminaries, as ne
says lawyers and others should nave
nothing TO say, as they are middlemen.
| remember a short time ago our
mayor, VIM. b. Thompson. had reso-
luton put through the council. calling
for an appropriation OF the $4,000 10
investigate the conduct OF the Detroit
City Gas company. Later he selected
this same Mr.. Lynn for the position,
and whether or not there has been
any change In our gas bills, Mr.. Lynn
pulled down the appropriation for his
services Now I don't suppose there
is thing in the natural gas PROPOSE
ton for Mr. Lynn aside from patriot
ism, but | do believe in giving every
one a square deal and 1t would appear
that the people who stand ready TO
finance this natural gas proposition
and are the parties who called our at
tention to Ii first, should get our sup
port and not the patriotic citizen who
steals some other mans thunder.

Canada Faces Disgrace.

To the Editor OF The Times: In.
dorse all you have printed III your
paper, relative to the cruel sentence
now hanging over the head OF Mrs.
Angelina Napolitano. l consider IL
an outrage TO convict this poor wo-
man of murder when she acted not
only in defense of her honor, hut of
rher life.
The brute cher husband had
threatened TO kill her, and he VAS
quite capable OF II, as was proved
by his having shortly before stabbed
her In several places, evidently with
the intention OF killing her, and she
had hardly recovered from the eff
fects OF these wounds when the ruff
fan threatened again to kill her.
By his words and his acts he prac-
tically said TO her, Abandon hope
forever"
The unhappy woman evidently act
ed under an insane impulse, Undue
ed by despair, and should not be
held accountable for what she did.
II a full vote could be taken Of
the people OF Canada and the United
States. think there would be OF
overwhelming majority in favor Of
giving this woman a pardon, and
"Vox populi, vox Del" ] wish that !
could be governor-general of Canada
for one day. so that | might pardon
this poor woman, and restore her
to her children. for whose sake she
guarded her honor, and be the means
of shedding ray OF sunshine over a
life which has hitherto been over
Swallowed by clouds and tears
In conclusion, will say that should
the sentence, as passed. be carried
out, II will be an everlasting els.
grace to the administration OF the
Dominion of Canada.

Opposes Commission Government.
To the Editor OF The Times: am
constant reader OF The Times and
delight very much in reading your
splendid editorials. But a great sur
prise came upon me Friday night when
I read that you uphold the commits
sion form OF government. | can't CON
ceive the idea for a moment that you
sincerely believe what you advocate.
Your very first argument destroys the
whole proposition. In your whole list
OF cities there isn't one the size of
Detroit. Out OF the twenty largest
cities of the United States there isn't
one that advocates the commission
form. AS soon as these smaller cities
and towns will increase In size and
population and become incorporated
cities, they will readily adopt the
mayor and council system.
Your argument that no city has ever
discarded the commission form OF gov
eminent after once giving Il a trial,
Is invalid I'll prove my statement by
an example. Twenty years ago, De
Moines (by the way, strike out Des
Moines in your list, had a commits
sion form of government, was In debt
to the highest legal limit. and had
property TO show for II less In amount
than 100000. A mayor and council
system was adopted. and ever sinces.
DesMoines has lived within her In.
come. has reduced her debt $500 900,
and has over 100000 worth OF
property.
I hold that the mayor and council
system offers the best and safest
means for municipal government. be-
cause Il Is based on American policy.
II is based on the strength OF repre-
sentative leadership. IL is based on
the security OF a public franchise. II
is based on a rational system of checks
and balances.
II is absurd TO say that In commits
sion governed towns (of course, no
cities). the city employees give more
efficient service. The nature of NUM-
cipal government makes the mayor
and council system far superior A
comparative view shows the advan-
tages OF the mayor plan I'm point OF
efficiency. The history Of Des Moines.

LOVING WORD OF REFORM

LOVING WORD OF REFORM
Should radical reformer use
soft words or should he hit with
a club? Should he go after wrong
with a bitter tongue or speaking
the accents of universal love-,
The Wendell Phillips centen-
nary has raised that question in
Boston and it seems rather time
ly in view of the era in which we
are living. Phillips spoke in
scathing denunciation of slavery
and of all its defenders and apol-
ogists. He never pretended to
bride his tongue. He cut and
stabbed right and left, and
though he has slept long years in
the old Granary burying ground,
many of the wounds are gaping
yet.
Gov. John A. Andrew, on the
other hand, dealt mighty blows
to slavery without bruising the
hearts of those who believed in it.
For example, here is one of the
impressive things he said:
I know not what record of sin
awaits me in another world, but
this | know: | never was mean
enough to despise any man be-
cause he was poor, because he
was ignorant, nor because he was
black"

An almost lhminess quantity of "Chadwick's" 200yard six cord spool

Newark spool cotton factory. Guaranteed full strength; full yardage and
smooth running. This particular brand of cotton has not been sold to
any great extent here in the East-the plant in which II was formerly
made having been absorbed by the spool cotton people some. years ago
We secured a large quantity of 1t for the purpose of meeting the fompeti,
lion OF other six cord spool cottons sold in this locality. We can not tell
how long the price will remain at this figure, hence we would advise every
one-indlvdual users, dressmakers and other merchants to stock UP at
ouce-because OF this sale the "Chadwck" brand will become well y -
known and sell for a much higher price. Sizes 20 to loo-Black and -
