TO the Tax Pa, ers and Voters

AS q candidate for the nomination
of County Treasurer of Fall River
county at the primaries, Tuesday, May
23rd, wish to say that the work that l
have been engaged in during the past
few years has brought me in touch
daily with the Office of county treasur-
or which believe enables me, il nom.
mated and elected, to conduct the af.
fairs of the otice in a more efflcien,
and economical manner than one who
has had practically no experience along
these lines.
The tax payers can rest assured that
economy in Office will be exercised to
the fullest extent of my ability.

W. G. GARDNER DEAD
President of c. & N. W. R'y Died Last Week
at Osteryjlle. Massachusetts


at OsteryilIe, Massachusetts
William A. Gardner, president of
the Chicago & North Western Railway
and the Chicago, st. Paul. Minneapolis
& Omaha Railway, died last week at
his summer home in Osterville, Massa-
chussets. He left his desk in Chicago
about ten days ago for brief rest, and
his end was sudden. His wife was
with him at the time of his death.
The passing of the president of the
North Western was shock through
out the railroad world today. Officials
of the lines OF which he was head paid
tributes to their chief today and re-
vealed characteristics of the man
which they believed aided him in
reaching one of the highest stations in
the transportation world.
Mr.. Gardner was 81 years old, and
entered the service of the North West
eru as telegraph operator in 1878.
Since that time his advance has been
steady, stepping upward from one
grade to another until in 1910 he be-
came president, succeeding Marvin
Hughitt, who was made Chairman Of
the Board of Directors, and retaining
all former activities and interests.
"Mr. Gardner's death is shock to
u.s." said Il. r. Mccullough. vice-pres.
ident. I've thought a needed rest
would restore him to his usual activity.
Our intimacy and association has ex-
tended back to our early effioial ser
vice and the entire organization, of
which he was chief, are with his family
In mourning."
"Mr. Gardner's career as high Of
acial of the North Western was mark
cd by intense loyalty on the part of
his subordinates." as stated by an Of
dcer of the road. He was strict
disciplinsrian and an advocate of
highest efficiency in every braDch of
railrosding. Bot under his direction q
spirit of general teamwork permeeted
every department Of the railroad"
He was essentially q bome-lovine
man. and in his hc:ne he fou"' eis
only interest outeide his business eo-
deavors. The story of his rise in the
railroad world is not sensational; ii il q
record of steady progress ss result OF
ambition based on unflsgging interest
in bis duties. Mr.. Gardner often said
Il have always tried to be good sub
ordinate-and good subordinate is
pretty sure to have good subordinates.'
Mr.. Gardner Was born at Gardner
Illinois. He entered railway service IL
1872 as telegraph operator 9. & A. Ry
at Lemont. Illinois, since which time

BENEFI7iNG BY WAR
HOW LEADING RUSSIAN WOMAN
 VIEWS CONFLICT.
For One Thing, She Says, "lt Has Taught Us to See a World Larger Than the World of the Fam
 fly Doorstep"

You will learn in America that this great war will have it's benefits" the doctor said Tt is teaching us that we are strong; it has issued call commanding us to organize and act not only in war, but in peace; it has taught us to see a world larger than the world of the family doorstep. It has shown us that we can do all the necessary old duties and have energy and desire to accept new labors. This morning at breakfast my children spoke of Russian victory. l said to them that the great Russian victories were in the new thought and visions of the people,"
 The doctor did not speak of any class or sex she made no distinction between different kinds of Russian hearts and Russian heads. There are almost twice as many men, women and children ill the empire as in our states, and the doctor seemed to in clude them all The doctor was near ing middle age, but was still pretty, even in d severe Woolen suit.
 The reason for her disregard of sex is not difficult to define. Russia is the foremost undeveloped country In the world. Like its own flat, gray expanse of physical surface, beneath which un- touched treasures of resource lie a crust of mystery covers the human resource of the Russian millions. The charm of Russia is not in it's romantic, hazardous, youthful past, but in the suppressed seething of human force beneath the crust What will burst up through it? What will this war, cracking open the surface, rending the cover, let loose?
 When 1 went to Russia to put my ear where 1 could hear beneath the crust the new bubble and heaving of potentiality, writes Richard Washburn Child in the Century, the volcanic seething which the war has filled with new tremors, did not think of the Russian woman at all.
 1t is the women, I think, who today possess a vision calmer than that Of the Russian men. From woman IeCelNed lue tOOleSl anu llle MlSeSl analysis of the politics of the empire and the most sensible forecast of the struggle between the people and the bureaucracy. Through woman I ob- tained the greatest fund of informa- tion about the future commercial de- velopment of the land and about the opportunities for American business. A woman drew for me the dearest picture of what was needed to organize for military victories. It was the wom- an of Russia who, without distortion of self-interest, of prejudice or fear could see what the new human growth required of compromise with the pres ent form of the government and what of fight to a finish. And that is the most delicate question which Russia must determine in the decade which follows the final peace.
