CIVIC LEAGUE WILL MEET
FRIDAY NIGHT AT Y. M. c. A.
The New Commission Charter Will
Be Discussed at the Meeting.
Many Will Be Present.
A GREATER FAIRMONT MEANS
MUCH TO ACTIVE GROWTH
OF THE CITY.

The Civic league will meet Friday
night at the Y. NJ. c. A. for a fur
ther, discussion of the new charter
for the city.
The new bill is now the absorbing
topic Of discussion in the business
places, on the streets and wherever
the voters congrcgate.
Whether or not the city Is to hav"
n change in the form OF government
largely depends upon the interest
the citizens show in bringing about
such a change.
That the new plan will have seri-
Gus opposition is sure. No new
charter was ever put into operation
in any city without opposition
There are those every where who op-
pose the initiative. referendum and
recall and no matter what the pro-
posed plan might be there will al
ways be found some who have bet
ter plan and so 1t goes but Il fair
discussion Is essential and q better
understanding of the new charter
and all voters should come out "a
these meetings OF the league.
The plan to secure Greater Fair
mont means much to the future
growth and development Of the city.

In regard TO the teaching force for

younger now than 20 years ago and

among them. Our schools in the coun.
Try are falling into the hands OF boys
and girls rather than into the hands

such large numbers is especially to be
regretted, but nothing except better

LONDON, Aug. lit is announc-
ed that the Cunard Steamship Line
has decided to drop Queenstown al.

Three years ago the company's
vessels did not put in at Queenstown
on the eastward voyage, but owing
TO its contract with the British Post
office its ships were Obliged to stop
there on the westward trip In order
to pick up mails.
Now the company contends that
owing to the increasing size OF the
vessels II is a source of danger to
them to enter Queenstown harbor,
and that an arrangement for putting
mails on board outside the harbor
would mean constant inconvenience
and in stormy weather would be Il
matter Of impossibility, thereby
causing such serious delays to the
mail service as would not be toier-
ated by the business community.
When the British mail contract
was signed in July, 1903, the Lust

been built, but even those giant ships
