Study The Budgets

On October a, taxpayers of Lyn-
den and of the local school district
will have an opportunity to speak
out their mind on the taxation
question, if they desire. For on
that day, the Town Council and the
School Board will sit for the pur-
pose of hearing arguments for or
against the proposed budgets for
1916.
Both town and school budgets
are published in this issue of The
Tribune. They should be studied
over, for they give a forecast of
how much money will be spent for
municipal and educational purposes.
The town budget shows an in
crease over last year of S2,50S in
the total to be raised by direct
taxation. The bulk of this money
will be used to take up old war
rants and pay old debts.
The amount to be raised by dis
trict tax for the schools also has adj
vanced. In 1915, $4,13S.13 was
asked; this year, the total is $5,-
424.74.
October is the day on which
taxpayers will have a hearing. Let
them look over the budgets well
now.

Profit VS.. Honor

DR.. Charles F. Aked was the
minister who delivered the bacca-
laureate sermon to the class of
which we were a member. We re-
call him as a brilliant speaker with
a brain magnified several times
above the average.
This week we received a pam
phlet in which he sums up the
arguments against the shipment OF
munitions of war. 1t is as sound
document as has been produced on
the subject.
1--WE should prohibit the exporta-
ton of arms anG ammunition, de-
clares DR.. Aked. "On grounds of
humanity we should refuse to feed
the conflagration of civilization to
secure financial profit for ourselves.
On grounds of public policy we
should prevent the further growth
and insidious influence of great So
cial forces directly Interested IN
the continuance and spread of war.
On grounds of neutrality and ma
tional honor we should escape from
q situation so uneven, winch puts
the sincerity of our high profess
sions in dubious light. Early in
the war President Wilson set the
influence of the government against
the raising of war loans in this
country, and the good sense of the
people applaaded him. We ought
at this time to have applied the
same principle to the expectation
of arms. Today far more malig-
nant resistance will meet such
proposal. 1t is commonly assumed
that so powerful a trade can no
longer be curbed If that is true,
the better self of the nation is once
more helpless against mercenary
interests. In that case we ourselves
now have a war party which dom
mates our politics. A strong pro-

5 SOME REAL ECONOMY

The board of county commission
ers are trying so hard to save mon
ey to the taxpayers, we are going
to show them a few places where
we know money can be saved, for
instance:
Superindent King of the Poor

could save money should he be al
lowed to buy his own supplies, but
Recently five sacks of sugar were
needed and he was authorized by
the board to buy them from the
Fairhaven Cash Grocery. Sugar Mt
that time could be bought anywhere
in the county from $685. to $3.50
per sack. Now we are reliably in
formed that bill is now before
the commissioners, but as yet has
not been laid, for this sugar at
$3.50 per sack. Other merchants
in the county should take notice
of this discrepancy.

FAREWELL TO HIS WIFE.

TARE thee well, and If forever.
L Still forever, fare thee WE'LL
Even though unforgivng. never
/ 'Gainst thee shall my heart rebel!
Would that breast were barred before thee
Where thy head SO oft hath lain.
While that placid sleep came DER thee
Which thou ne'er canst know again!
Would that breast, by thee glanced over,
Every inmost thought could show
Then thou wouldst at last discover
Twas not well to spurn it So
Though the world for this commend thee.
Though 1t smile upon the blow.
Even Its praises must offend thee,
Founded on another's woe!
Though my many faults defaced me,
Could no other arm be found
Than the one which once embraced me
To infiict a cureless wound?
Yet, oh, yet, thyself deceive not;
Love may sink by slow decay.
But by sudden wrench, believe not
Hearts can thus be torn away.
Still thine own its life retaineth-
Still must mine, though bleeding, bea:
And the undying thought which paineth
Is-that We no more may meet.
These are words of deeper sorrow
Than the wall above the dead;
Both shall live, but every morrow
Wake us from q widowed bed
And when thou wouldst solace gather,
When our child's first accents flow,
Wilt thou teach her to say "Father!'
Though his care she must forego?
When her little hands shall press thee,
When her lip to thine Is pressed,
Think of him whose prayer shall blass
thee,
Think of him thy love had blessed!
Should her lineaments resemble
Those thou nevermore mayst see,
Then thy heart will softly tremble
With pulse yet true to me.
All my faults perchance thou knowest,
All my madness none can know;
All my hopes, where'er thou goest,
Wither. yet with thee they go.
Every feeling hath been shaken,
Pride, which not a world could bow,
Bows to thee by thee forsaken.
Even my soul forsakes me now.
But tits done; all words are idle
Words from me are vainer still,
But the thoughts we can not bride
Force their way without the will.
Fare thee Welt Thus disunited.
Torn from every nearer tie,
Scared in heart and lone and blighted.
More than this I scarce can die.

OF Registration.

Today was the last day appointed
by the Circuit Court for registration
appeals. These appeals are from deci-
sions of registration officers on revi-
sion day.
An appeal which will attract the
attention of politicians of both parties
comes from the Fourth Ward-Fourth
Precinct. Sixth District-and in
wolves the time regulating the striking
of names from the books. MIR. c. NJ.
Jones was sworn off as a nonresident
and the notice sent him by the board
of registry allowed him to appear on
Oct. l2, 1915, between the hours of 8
q. m. and p. m. He arrived at the
registration Office about $40, but his
name had already been erased from
the books, as the law compels the reg
istrars to begin the striking off of
names at o'clock.
The notice served on Mr.. Jones gave
him until o'clock to appear, whereas
the law says by o'clock all names
must be stricken from the books The
decision of the court in the case is
awaited with interest is it will settle
a most difficult question for registra-
tion osneisls hereafter. II is expected
the appeal win be tried on Thursday.
