SKOWhECAN.

Notwithstanding the iaet that some
of Skowhegan's most flourishing indus
tries have closed, there is a scarcity of
rents and considerable building is go-
ing On. Houses are renting for more
than ever before, and there is hardly
a vacant one in the town. The people
that have always paid rent. some OF
them now are putting up houses. Some
of them are small but in great many
cases they have been able to make a
comfortable home With a little ex
pense. John Lee bought a piece of
land just outside of the village and
put up Il small. comfortable house,
and has now quite a farm. There is
hardly road out of Skowhegan that
this same thing is not being done and
many of the old barren farms are now
beinf reclaimed.
Among the fine residence now in
process of construction in Skowhegan
are those of Postmaster G.. E. Durrill
on Madison avenue: Frank Benner,

Nutting, on N0rridgewock avenue.
At the expiration of the year Sheriff

Madison avenue, now occupied by
principal Of the High school, Ralph W.

Palmer Merrill place. at the head of
Coburn avenue. where Everett Good

occupy the Palmer place, on Pleasant
street, for the winter. While Mrs Pal

vision for seven-year tenure for gov

nents Of that dangerous innova ton to re-
lax in their efforts to prevent its adoption
by the two houses of Congress. II is vi
tally important to the maintenance OF the
merit principle in the government service
TO stop the writing even of tentative
law fixing the tenure of the clerks TO any
specific term. BY preventing the adoption
of the conference agreement on this sub
ject those who now fight for the true
civil service reform idea in government
work will accomplish their purpose much
more distinctly and surely than by rely
ing upon a presidential veto.
1t was asserted yesterday in the Senate
that this seven-year tenure clause would
demoralize the departmental service. 1t
most assuredly would destroy all there is
at present of corps spirit and zeal for
the governments interests. 1t would in
spire every worker in the service with
the sole purpose of holding on to his job

From the New York Evening Post.
Mr.. Roosevelts speech at Chicago to-
day is ntoierably long and repetitious
He will doubtless accuse the newspapers
of suppressing the truth for not printing
all of it, but if they printed it in full
they could not print anything else. And
large part of it comes from him fol
the hundredth time. He has improved or
the Greek saying that good thing will
bear repeating two or three times, and re-
peats himself endlesSly. His new speech
launching new party is only what we
have heard from him in wearisome itera-
ton before. Some of his old ideas he
utters with fresh emphasis; but it is evi-
dent that he has SO frequently emptied
himself of all he has to say that nothing
remains wherewith he may burst uIon a
startled world. Everything has been dis
counted in advance.

The Local Gambling Charges.

The Commissioners announce that a
thorough investigation will be made into
the truth of the assertion that members
of the police force of the District are en-
gagged in gambling. that they permit the
maintenance of gambling establishments
under their very eyes and that there is
supposedly corrupt relationship be-
tween the gambling fraternity and the
men who are sworn to enforce the laws
against this vicious practice. No less
could be undertaken. 1t Is idle to dis
miss such charges lightly, as obviously
unfounded or as inspired by jealousy or
enmity. Such an attitude. IL maintained.
would encourage those who. it is per-
fectly well known, are ready to resume
operations in this city for the separation
of thoughtless. reckless, greedy persons
from their money.
Several years ago it was plainly proved
that some of the police of Washington
were. If not actually implicated in gam
bling enterprises. at least complacent
toward their operation. No doubt could
exist in the public mind that a lax
concept of law enforcement in this direc-
ton prevailed. AS result of certain
disclosures a shake-up occurred. and
gambling was put under the ban until it
was we'll nigh eliminated in the District.
Perhaps this latest run of charges has
been started by the police graft scandal
in New York. Possibly the allegations
are unwarranted and are started merely
to make trouble for the police organiza-
ton. Maybe they are true. That is for
the Commissioners to find out, and with
as little delay as possible.
The police department is really more
vitality concerned in this contemplated
examination into the allegations rejecting
upon it's good name than the community
at large. The citizens feel confident tina,
the heads of the District government are
sincerely DESTROYS of keeping the loca
administration far above reproach and
that they will make their inquiry thor
ough. To this end the hearings, such as
are held. should be open. No closet in.
vestigations will meet the public expec.
tations. private examination of wit
nesses will serve to spread the suspicion
that there are circumstances which may
not be exposed to the light. For the
sake of the police force itself the probing
should he done with the least possible
delay and the greatest possible publicity
