A DANGEROUS PROPOSAL

What Justification can there be for frfHicting the ss.oOo,ooo Herring sewer plan on Bridgeport.
 The plan. was suggested four or five years ago. tin the term of Mayor Reynolds.
 It was considered during the term of Mayor Lee, and met with almost unanlimous disapproval.
 During the term of Mayor Bucking- ham it was again examined by the Board. Of Apportionment and Taxation and discarded.
 There was substituted a sewer plan, also devised by Mir. Herring, which everybody believed entirely sufficient for the needs of Bridgeport, and which would cost no more to build, than the sewers of Bridgeport had been costing
 This plan was probably no improve mArt on the Scoheld plan.r In many respects it was distinctly. inferior.
 Nevertheless it received the approv- al offthe Tax board. It also received the approval of four members of the committee that originally recommend ed the expenditure of ss,0oo, 900 for sewers. There were five members of this committee, which was known as the Bridgeport Sewer Commission, and three Of them are committed in writ ing to a statement that the $3,000, 600 system is not necessary. This state r1ent will be found in the 1912 year book
 But, as we have shown, $3.0oO, GOO is g small part of what. the system will cost That is the estimate furnished by the engineers It includes no es- innate of expenditures to condemn oyster beds.
 Yet the engineers who designed the 100000 system stated in their re- port that the oyster beds would have e be purchased

 Jerhaps John L. feels the sublimated glow of his once favorite liquid diet in the actions and language of his sex- aited friend who is trying to hammer h1s way to the most top-lofty prize of political championship. At all events Theodore has found would-be true brother in the once mighty pugilist now sadly adumbrated into the shad- ow of a name. The latter desires to revive his memories of 'tscrapping'' for money by battling for his hero Perhaps, too, he might get a consu1- ship in Greenland, or in one of the new towns of the Congo. Theodore is ...the man who dares,'' who has got the goods with him and does not hand out lot of buncombe and bIuff.,' etc., who hits hard in the place where it does the most good.

 Perhaps the. great man. who cnce boasted that he could tslick all crea- tion,'' much to his own uttermost dis comfture. has way down in his heart an irresistible feeling of sympathy for the new prota gonist of the battle ring.

 Gov Marshall of Indiana as candi- date for vice-president, used some pretty Strong language in speaking of the rascality of the s'progressives" of Kansas, but the facts in the case jus tified his condemnation of such trick cry. The progressives are trying to elect their presidential ticket by fore ing the names of the Roosevelt men on the ballot under the Republican emblem and title. Gov. Marshall said:
 This may be a mark of slick poli- tics, but it is not one of honest pofi- tics. cannot speak for my distinguished associate, for whose election most honestly plead, but I truthfully say for myself that my ideas of government make me prefer the loss of Kansas. when the men of the state have had a chance to vote as they desire, to the winning of Kan sas through political trick, such as is being worked here--a trick which would i'll become candidate for con- sta ble.
