"a MODERN WANDERER
IN CLASSIC GREECE

Previous successes were repeated Fri
day eveoing at the third of the series OF
five lectures by DIR. Arthur S. Phelps in
the First Baptist church. Under the title
of "A Modern Wanderer in Classic
Greece" he gave what proved to be one
Of the most entertaining and cultured
lectures of the series SO far given. DR..
Phelps is an observant traveller and has
the happy faculty OF being able to drive
home very accurate and clear descrip-
lions of what he has seen. In this he
was helped great deal by the splendid
collection Of tinted views of the places
of historical and traditional note in the
old world. The old Grecian landmarks,
wonderful specimens Of their arcllitec-
ture, their mode of living, their customs,
their industries, were all clearly depicted
in the slides, while the lecturer added
to the interest by his tales Of their char
acteristics. habits and forms of amuse-
ment. ~

ILLEGAL ADMINISTRATION OF
WATERV|[LE CITY AFFAIRS +?

Our Democratic friends point with
pride to their party's fine business record
for the rast three or four years and
display under striking headlines the
statement of Mayor Hiiliard and the city
auditor Of the financial condition of the
city.
The fact that our city debt is sSo,ooa
or $4,000 above the debt limit does not
seem to trouble them nor do they seen,
to be troubled by the fact that d city
official VINO gives a note of the city
when the debt limit Is exceeded lays
himself liable to prosecution they prob
ably think that the holders OF the notes
are the ones VINO ought to worry. The
auditor does not mention the fact that
the annual interest and coupon charge
is now SIS. 97E9S-nearly double what it
was ten years ago. The editor of the
Democratic organ must refer to the new
High school building and attempt to
slur a former Republican administra-
ton, but the fact remains that what
that administration did stands as firm
now as the day it was finished, except
for the damage by lire.
This fine business administration If
the Democratic party is seen in the work
OF finishing the new High school build

IT is no wonder that the High school

cratic officials may have a bite at the
plum.
Il seems a little too Iare-faced for
Alderman Neservey, a member OF the
building committee, to let the job of
Repairing to himself and so he pulls out
until after election; but you may be
sure that many Democratic officials and
ward politicians have their eye on that
81 900 of insurance money to be ex-
pended by one of their members by tn !,

will have and the taxpayers Will foot

Civic improvements Wanted

Some writer in the columns of the Sen
tinel wakes sarcastic at the expense of
the local Republicans and makes sugges-
tons that if we went back to primitive
methods OF doing things the Republicans
Of Waterville would be pleased.
Nothing OF the sort Waterville Repub-
Hcan5 want to see their city forge ahead
as we'll us do the Democrats and when
any civic Improvement is offered, Repub-
Leans will be found hustlng as hard as
anyone to secure 1t.
Republican tax money as we'll rs Dem
ocratc tax money pays for these i'm
provernents.
All a fair-ninded man can ask is that
the money be expended wisely and with
economy.
Tho Republican party is not claiming
that betterments that have been made
| in recent years should not have been
made. They were all necessary 1t is
false economy to do without necessary
things.
Does the Republican party want to go
back to the days of fire fighting when
handtubs were in order? Every citizen
is proud Of the fine central station and
the most improved service is none too
good for Waterville. Everyone hopes
the day will come when it will be i'm
proved still further
All are looking forward to the day
when the Hayden brook shall be under
cover its entire length. 1t is an exper-
sive little stream at present ard the pub
lie health is in no wise improved by it.
Republicans want the Hayden brook
sewer completed.
New schools are necessary Those
built years ago have outlived their use
fulness, and if the city grows, so must
the schools also.
There are many other things needed
in Waterville and year by year they
will be added to the equipment of this
modern city.
Republicans do not. bemoan the fact
that these things have been provided
Their money has been put into them
They have helped pay the cost and will
continue to do SO.
What is being asked by al, IS have no.
some of these Improvements cost more
than is necessary? Have there not been
many things done in the ordinary course
OF the city's business that have cost too
much money? Have there not been times
when the citys money has been expend-
ed to further the political fortunes of
some member Of the Democratic party?
These are the questions. How can they
be answered.
The city's business should be open to
all citizens. But there has been no de-
tailed report made for the past fiscal
year. The city report has not been is
sued and it all leads to the suspicion
that its delay has been caused on ac-
count OF the unwiNngness of party lead
ers to have the people at large make a
close examination Of the different &C
counts. Until these reports appear. all
Will have to go on the assumption that
affairs have not been conducted quite as
they should have been.
