McCandless camp, but 1t is not un-
fair politics for all that. The eXhi-

desiring to take the police department
out of politics and place it upon a
civil service basis. It shows the

Will 60 TO
WAYCROSS
WAS CHOSEN CITY engineer
Will Complete His Work Here
Very Soon

Mr.. B. H. Klyce, who for year
past has served here as assistant city
engineer in experimenting the con-
struction work of sewer extension,
waterworks improvements and street
paving, was honored by election as
city engineer of Waycross at a re-
cent meeting of the council, and will
soon go to assume his new duties
there.
Mr.. Klyce has had wide experience
as a civil engineer, and while con-
graduating him upon the merited pro
motion accorded him the many friends
made during his stay in Americas will
greatly regret the fact that he will
go elsewhere.
Mr. Klyce is now engaged upon the
final work in the extension of the
sewerage system, which will be COM
pleted probably in three weeks. He
hopes to remain in Americas until
the work is entirely completed, and
has asked permission to this end OF
the Waycross city council.
Waycross has secured two of Anne e
icus' citizens in official capacities, Mr.
A. G. Miller, as superintendent of her
schools, and Mr., B. H. Klyce, as city
engineer.

course of his duty he is not, accord
ing to the Carnegie standard a hero
at all. Thus policemen, firemen, life
guards and others who are employed
to safeguard life are never heroes f
they save life when pursuing their
regular vocation, ut if one of them
saves a life ION the side" as it We're,
when it is not in the line of his duty,
he may, or may not, be a hero.
For instance, a fireman who rescues
a persno from burning building is
never hero, no matter how brave
he may have been. He has merely
done his duty. But a firemen who
plunges overheard and saves a per-
son from drowning may, or moy not,
be hero. 1t depends upon the degree
of danger encountered and the amount
of risk incurred. And it is to deter
mine these fine points that the hero
fund commission maintains it's staff of
hero hunters.
Cases BY The Thousand.
Notices of heroic deeds pour into
the commission by the thousand.
Sometimes disinterested spectators
who witness brave deeds write about
them; more frequently friends of the
hero send in the news, and sometimes
alas, the hero himself forwards infor-
nation of his prowess. Newspaper
editors, school teachers and clergymea
are among the most frequent of the
commissions informants Seldom, in
coed, does any piece of bravery go
unreported.
For news of such items the COM
mission depends upon the services of

companied by affidavits, which indicate
that the would-be hero or his friends
are trying to bolster up weak case,
and second, the cases reported by
clergymen, vecause clergymen are
given to overestimating courageous
acts.
To every person who reports a case
the commission sends a blank to be
filled out and returned This blank
asks for minute details, names of wit
nesses, etc. Often these blanks are
not returned, and thus many unde-
serving cases are at once eliminated

Naturally enough all come from
Pittsburg newspapers. Hence, like the
man who qualities for the presidency

the man who wants to become hero

on a Pittsburg paper. The beginner

all his travelling expenses. After he
has acquired experience his salary is
raised to $125 a month with expenses.

 The action of the democrats in the | house in voting for abolition of the tariff on sugar was cited by Colonel Roosevelt as another example of what he meant He said the democratic party stool for free entry of sugar, which would compel the great majority of sugar cane and beet g1wers to

 At one stop an overalled workman, spying the governor on the car plat form, cried out:
 Heiio, Woody, Old BoyI"
 I like that" smiled the nominee as he stepped down and shook hands
 With a whirl of speeches and recep- tions. the governor completed his New England trip, making an address before a big crowd here. Throughout the day as the nominee journeyed from Boston, people crowded the sta- tions cheering and clamoring for but tons. The governor had passed through Hartford three times. but found another crowd there today.
 'I thought you'd had enough of me at Hartford said the candidate.
 "Oh, no," came in a chorus from the crowd, and the governor shook hands with a great number.
 At Willimantic. the governor made a brief speech. "As I stop at this particular place." he said, q cannot but think of tine absentee Landlords who own the thread industry and do not live here, because. of course. one of the difficulties of our whole politi- cal arrangement in the United States IS that the people that run us don't have anything to do with Us anI stand off at distance and find 1t very difficult, indeed. to budge actual conditions.
 Governor Wilson found an enthusias. tic welcome at Bridgeport.
 The regular republicans are back with more promises" he said, and we say you said before that you would alter the tariff to protect the people put instead you altered 1t and furnish ed new opportunities to the trusts. r
 He also attacked the money trust. ' saying:
 This money trust of which congress has begun an investigation is no myth no imaginary thing. It has the power of life and death. economically speak ing. l have seen men crushed by it and put out of business
 The speaker characterized as a grand piece of humbug' the idea that the protective tariff brought higher wages.
 Speaking of the proposal in the pro gressiye platform to regulate trusts by a commission. the governor said:
 T would be ashamed to attack in- dividuals, but I have great arior in attacking such party program. It is fatal"
