London, March 2-Keen disappointment
as to the results Of recruiting under the
voluntary scheme proposed by him was
expressed in the House of Lords today
by the Earl Of Derby, former chief OF
the recruiting service.
The earl laid the chief blame for the
failure to achieve the full results he had
aimed at to the easy exemptions of sim
gle men, belonging especially to the
starred grades (men required for work
on necessities required by the govern
ment) and agriculturists. He made an
emphatic plea to the government to pre-
vent bachelors Of military age from evad-
ing military service by transferring them
selves to starred occupations and declar-
ed that a strong effort was necessary to

DO YOU REMEMBER
THE GREAT FLOOD OF
TWENTY YEARS AGO?

1t was 20 years ago yesterday. March
2. since tho great freshet that carried
away the old covered BRIDGE which had
served the travelling public for q period
Of 42 years. It was apparent on Sun
day, March !. that, should the ice
break up after the So hours Of heavy
rainfall, the result would prove disas-
trous. The concensus Of opinion how
ever seemed to have been that the
thickness and strength Of the ice
might prevent the worse happening.
The sounding Of the freshet alarm,
which WAS given on the fire whistle at
three o'clock on the morning of the
second. brought most Of the merchants
and q large percentage Of the popula-
ton to the vicinity Of the river. to find
1t swollen and rushing and rising with
frightful rapidity. The merchants at
once went to work with all the help
that could be drafted into service get
ting their stock Of goods from the
Easements. By eleven o'clock in the
forenoon the water had risen so that
/ 1t came into Water street opposite the
Johnson House. A jam was reported
at Swan Island and the cause Of the
rapid rise was thus explained.
At two O'Clock the water reached it's
highest point and seven feet Of water
stood in Water street, at the deepest
point. At $50 the jam broke and the
water rapidly receded. Just then
Manager O'Brien Of the telephone
company reported a message saying
that the Brown Island boom had brok-
en- and with the enclosed logs was on
the way down the river. The logs
struck the toll house pier. There was
a wrench, a tear and the old bridge
started oceanward.
The loss to the merchants Of this
city was never accurately compiled as
Of course there was no insurance
against food. It was estimated as be-
tween $4,000 and 100000. The lum-
Der interests were naturally the great
est sufferers from the freshet. The
new Phillips mill at Farmingdale was
damaged largely beside the loss Of
1000. 900 feet Of logs they suffered.
Jewett and Co.'s loss was $4,000. j.
Gray and Son $4,000 and Lawrence
Bros. loss aggregated about $4,000.
Over ten million feet Of logs passed

BONDAGE OF PUBLIC DEBT
The people of Chicago who went to
the polls to elect some high-priced
Judges were also favored with the OPP
portUnity to vote themselves and
their children deeper and deeper into
the pit of public debt that threatens
to engulf the whole world.
If all the voters were enlightened
in regard to the ethics of taxation,
its natural law and the evil results
of wrong methods Of collecting pub
lie revenue, the system of bondage
by public debts would soon be aboI-
ished.
The philosophy of taxing posteTity
is morally wrong. Each generation
should pay its way as it goes. The
people who come after US will have
their own burdens to bear. We have
no power to bind them, except the
power of the same ignorance that
permits the system Of today to exist.
POsteTity, if they should get wis
dom to do so, would be justified in
Tepudiating every burden Of debt that
we are voting to place upon them.
The system is so unjust that it must
in the future perish from its own
wiCkedness. 1t is not necessary.

the people every year was taken for
public purposes and the value that

GOV. DUNES REMARKS

GOV. DUMMIES REMARKS-ApI
ropos of Gov. DUNES remarks, reIa-
tive to the necessity and duty of
every man fit for service to enlist,
respectfully rise to inquire whether
such members of the Dunno family
sons and sOns-in-law-have done
their enlisting early. Also, I am
rather curious to know whether Gov.
Dunno really believes that all those
who participated in the preparedness
parade did so Of their own vOlition.
By far the greater number of
those who marched in the parade did
so, not as individuals, but as compo-
nent parts of various institutions or
corporations. AS a rule their desires
or views in the matter were not con-
sulted-they were told to report at a
certain place at a certain time ready
to march. Those who ventuTed to
question whether this was obligatory
were told that they must either
march or lose their days pay-and
in some cases the inference was
given than the penalty for failing to
report might have even been greater.
