PEMBROKE
Cuts Expenses And Trustees
Serve For Nothing.

The new year meeting of the board
of town trustees was held at the city
hall Monday night. Mayor Jones and
all the members being present, says
the Pembroke Journal.
As the long looked for drouth sets
in in Pembroke in the early spring,
considerable interest attached to the
meeting. asiplans for increasing the
revenue of the town, to make up for
the loss of the saloon license were to
be made. After considerable dis
cussion, in which various plans were
discussed. the board adopted an or
dance continuing the same license
schedule that has been in force for
several years, except that a license
of $3.50 was imposed upon soft drink
stands and $40 on soda fountains.
Ia many towns that have gone dry
the soft drink stands are alleged to
have opened as a blind behind
which hard" drinks are served.
Hence the heavy license fixed in adj
vance.
The board started an economy
crusade by voting to serve the town
for the next two years without COM
0 ensation. The salary Of the clerk
was reduced from $50 to $50 and
that of that of the treasurer from $50
to $40, The salary of policeman
was fixed at $50, which has been
paid for several years past.
The officers elected we're as fol-
lows:

WHEN LONDON TAKES LEISURE.

What is there that London in the sea-
son Is not?" asks Sydney Brooks in the
issue of Harper's Weekly for June ODD.
1T is the capital of the kingdom. the
home of royalty. and the scene of the
thousand and one festivities. ceremonies,
and fetes that go with a court. The pres
ont sovereign has displayed an unexpect-
ed relish for the social obligations and
opportunities of his position; and there
never was a time when the influence and
example of royalty added so much to va
riety. stateliness, and magnificence of the
social program. And, besides this, Lon
don Is the seat of the Legislature; it Is
the capital of the empire; and every year
for the three months that end with the
end of July. 1t is the worlds center for
opera. for concerts. for pictures. for the
drama, for nearly every form of art"

THE PLATFORM,

Nothing but good can be said of the

tinctly progressive. Even the Roosc-
welt forces could detect no steam roller
in II, and. If they resented anything
about IT, resented only its wholesale
use of their own campaign ammuni-
ton. Governor Hadlsy himself is
quoted as saying: "Tney gave us prac-
, tically everything we asked for" This
statement may SAVIOR slightly of exag-
that the platform was the creation OF
a majority hostile to the radical ele-
ment of the party the wond or Is that
il is so full of new things.
The platform says nothing of woman
suffrage or of the initiative and refer
cndum. These innovations would be
too mucn to demand OF anyone but a
professional radical, like the colonel

1t contains a plank providing criminal

Such Is the platform Of the consAr.

that only a dozen years ago this plat
form would have been hailed as &C
