$5.659. We raise village tax of o.
cents, which pays 1-2 of our annual in
terest, leaving other half to increase
debt. Our net income from water and
lights is $9.496SO With this income
we only reduced our debt the past wear
$1.372.5 80. We have in prospect a
further increase of debt as follows:-
Purchase II. A. Slayton power S12 OOO
New Town Hall, of which is $1,000
$4,000
They tell us we need more water power.
1t will be used to help outsiders, as we
have no need of it at home. 1t is about
time we make stand against this way
of doing business and the voters in the
village had better see why we have so
many empty houses. Nobody outside
lunatic asylum will come here until we
change our business methods.
We can get new Library building, if
we need it, without Mr.. Carnegie's help
The Noyes corner as called, is worth
more for Library purposes than the Kel-
sey corner. If this site is selected we can
get it for much less than we paid for the
Kelsey Corner. Besides, if we take the
Moves Corner we are offered $4,000 cash
towards a library. Then, if we sell the
Kelsey Corner, as we can at public auc-
llon, LOT 9oooO, we nave practically
money enough to build the Library
building.
To the voters in the village this matter
appeals with special force. If they wish
to stop the silly expenditure of money
that has gone on for few years, let
them come out in force on Feb. 10, and
put their feet on the proposition then to
be acted on, with emphasis.

Fire in fiardwick

Damage to the amount of 81 500 and
the Gripping temporarily of four granite
firms was caused by a fire which par
tally burned the polishing mill of the
Daniels plant at Hardwick Tuesday
morning. The loss is fairly we'll COW
cred by insurance. The flames broke
out at an early hour near the air COM
pressor and spread through the polish
ing mill rapidly. Mr.. Daniels furnished
air from his compressor to four other
granite firms, so that the employees of
the latter were thrown out of employ
ment for the present. But business is
rather slack just now and the delay will
not be felt as seriously as it would have
been felt at other times.

THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY

Edttor Neecs and Citizen:
On Saturday Feb. 10, at 2 p. m. the
voters in town will pass on the question
o. using the Carnegie proposition to give
us $1,000 The voters have been told
that Mr.. Carnegie proposes to give us
$1,000 outright and we are fools not to
accept it, The statement is NOT TRUE.
The Carnegie proposition in black and
white has never been submitted to the
voters and NEVER WILL BE. 1t is this:
| He will give us $1,000 ON CONDITION
| that we will vote an annual tax on the
same of 10 per cent, or 500, FOREVER.
| Can we affort to take the gift
We can borrow at 4 per cent interest.
Surprising instead of taking Carnegie's
money, we borrow the same amout on
twenty years time; what is the result?

At the end of 20 years what is the sit

called for. Under Carnegie plan we must
continue FOREVER to raise the $500 per
year. The child has not yet been born
that can figure the countless millions of
money that the town will raise for Mr..
Carnegies $1,000.
Do we need the 500 required to be
raised? Our present expenses are as fol-

Sir,--In the issue for Sunday, March

Is not generally appreciated Is that
the Woman,s National Suffrage Asso-

with tho socialistic party"
OF course. the Womans National

with any one political party. but why
Is IT so dreadful TO be allied to the

Temptation comes to every one of

others of us know nothing Of some
OF us may have n craving for drinI,

drink Another is intrusted wit,

he is. therefore. tempted to be dis
honest Another is tempted to make
money quickly by gambling or betting,
Some are tempted TO lie about busi-
what he has to sell. Many arc
tempted because Of an irritable nature
to swear. MI of us. more or less. are
tempted TO be selfish In our own com
forts. especially at home.

on NH: RECALL.

j bN his'.ht''
In his autobiog rapily, written nt the
acc of seventy-soven, from the serene
heights Of rich. wei-rounded old
age. jefferson said AS FOR the safety
OF society we commit honest maniacs
TO Bealnm, SO judges should he with
drawn from their bench whose erfo-
neous blases are leading us 10 disso-
luton. 1t may indeed iniure them III
rau,o or fortune, but il saves the re-
public. which is the first ana supreme
law"
THIS conclusion Mir. Jefferson had
previously discussed, ANA apparently
II bears ont In the fullest and moss
satisfactory way the principle of the
recall rs cnunciatcd by the most splcn-
dld statesman OF the Kansas variety
or tho peripatctic progressives Of the
roaring Roosevelt stripe.
VIC think TINT the believers in the
recall Will find scant comfort in full
study OF Mr Iencrsons remarks
since II is apparent that his fears
were solely that the danger lay in the
possibility of Fedora! judges under
mining the rights of the States by
stretching the Federal Constitutions
10 decisions which II was never meant
TO cover
Mr. jefferson feared and declared
that Congress, where any defense Is
made by men of ordinary preindices
ana passion, would never be able to
remove judges who are thereby made
effectunlly independent of the nation"
But nc failed 10 offer any suggestion
as to the best method OF dealing with
the conditions which he apprchended
would arise ~ deem it indispensa-
blc." said he, TO the continuance of
this government that the judges
should he submitted to some practical
ana impartial control; and that this.
to be impaired. must be compounded
of mixture of state and Federal au-
thority." The formula for that com
position MIR. Jefferson docs not give.
Certainly It win not be found in
making judicial decisions the subject
matter Of political controversies.
which solution Mr.. Roosevelt sug
eestcd in his suicidal Columbus mani
festo
OF course, judges are human; of
course. they are weak sometimes,
ana mistaken often. Who is not? OF
course, the welfare OF the public is
the supreme law, and neither Judge
nor President has the right to hinder
tho Development OF the nation. But
how to remove the offending officials
is another matter,
TO all those who believe that judges
need strong hand over them. The
Times-D Dispatch would point out the
example Of Virginia, where. by a
simple majority vote OF the Legisla-
turo. Judge anp be removed. This
form Of reca.i. his .be':n applied twice
IN Virginia without distress to any
save those VINO received the chnstisc-
ment; without bitterness, without pas
sion, and with deliberate sense of
Tho Importance OF the action taken.
Where the recall must be used the
method is ofttimes % more import
nnce than the end.
