THE PUSSYFOOT PLAN
DIR. GEORGE AMOS DORSEY

can detect a low rumble of pessimism with very slight wringing of hands and the furrow in the old mans brow will deepen considerably. He is worried. It just breaks his heart to think that he might have to turn so many good men off. But what can he do? If Wilson is elected-It just breaks his heart. But if Wilson is elected, he will simply have to shut the factory down.
 Honest to goodness, ain't 1t awful
 Cheer up! The majority of the people of the United States believe four years more of Wilson means four years more honest government and the continuation of the rule of the people for the people by tfle peo- pie. And the working man and the farmer know especially what they may expect from four years more of Wilson-they have a sample in their pockets and they have abundant proof of it in their homes and all over the farm. They know.
 They know-every liberal minded American knows-that a vote for Wilson is a privilege-an honor and 8 glory to his country, and a credit to himself.

JOHN FLAHAvEN, POLICEMAN, DIES
 AT F0RTY-E|GHT.
Death Ends Grim Battle Against Ravages of Consuming
 Malady.

John Flahaven, better known to his police associates and widely through out the city as Jack" passed into the great beyond at his home, 1892 Strat- ford avenue. at 3:15 this morning,
 MT. Flahaven's death was fully ex- pected by his family and though the victim of a fatal and progressive malady which he had fought with a tenacity that is seldom witnessed, he accepted the inevitable with fortitude and final tranquility which in other battles has created martyrs in the eyes of history.
 He was only AS years of age, having come to this city in 1883. He finished his education in the Bridgeport schools and was later employed in various shops in the city. receiving his appointment to the police force on March 31, 1903.
 As a policeman he served the city with distinction until he was incapaci- tated by the ravages of disease and was placed on the pension list, July 31, 1916. In the Main woods he sought that exercise and relief from the salt air which he hoped would reinvigorate him, but as these meas ures failed in relief he returned to Bridgeport to spend his last days in the bosom of a family which consisted of 8 wife, four children, two sisters and four brothers.
 He is survived by a widow, and children, the oldest of whom is nine years. His sisters are Mrs. c. J. Ryan and Miss Nora Flahaven. His brothers, David, 1925 Stratford ave- nue; Patrick, 17s0 Stratford avenue; William, 1780 Stratford avenue, and James, 1892 Stratford avenue.
 In acordance with the usual cus- tom the police stations of this city will be draped in mourning in his memory.

GOOD ROADS AS AN IN
VESTMENT; NOT A TAX

"No cham is stronger than its
weakest link; no road is better than
its worst hole, and, as the resistance
Of the weak link is the real test Of the
chain, so is the worst hole the real
measure of the road"
Permanent highways cost less in
the long run than temporary roads.
The rainfall in this country is so
great that a hard surface on the road
is absolutely necessary. There is no
single thing which means more to the
comfort of the family and adds more
to their happiness and contentment
than conveniently located permanent
highways, to enable the farmer to
market his product eXpeditiously and
to go and take his family when and
where he pleases.

RESOLUTIONS
MR.. LEE ELMER ROBINSON

Resolutions adopted by the Session
and Board of Deacons of the Presby-
terian church of Welsh, in joint meet
ing
Whereas, it has pleased the ALI
wise Providence, our Heavenly Faith
er, to remove from our midst, and
call from his labors, our valued
friend and colaborer, Mr.. Lee Elmer
Robinson, the senior Deacon of this
church, we hereby recall the follow
ing facts, and most heartily offer
this tribute to his memory:
Mr.. Robinson was one Of the char
ter members of the church, taking an
active part in its organization and its
prompt and proper equipment. He
was elected deacon at the time of the
organization, refusing the office of
Elder which was offered him, and
choosing rather to serve the church
in the conduct of the business affairs.
He was elected chairman of the Board
of Deacons, and served in this capa-
city until called from his earthly la
bors, and served during a part of the
time also as Treasurer of the church.
His loyalty, fidelity and skill in the
conduct of this office are all attest
ed by the results as seen in the splen-
did church building that accommo-
dates the congregation, the excellent
home provided for the pastor, and a
resident pastor for all of his time, as
well as in the marked success which
has attended the church's activity.
He was elected the first Superinten-
dent of the Sunday school, and served
in this capacity until the fall of 1909
when he was pursuaded by the newly
organized Baraca Glass to become it's
first teacher, which place he filled
most acceptably until declining health
forced his retirement from the active
duties. He was recognized as a SUI
perior and successful teacher of the
word of God, keeping ever before the
young men the eXhortation of Divine
wisdom: Remember now thy Crea-
tor in the days of thy youth" = And
though now dead, yet lives in the
lives Of the young men of the Baraca
Class.
In the Christian Endeavor Society
he was recognized factor in it's de.
velopment, making valuable contribu-
tons in the way Of leadership and
instruction.
He was also liberal in the support
of the church, giving literally to the
local needs, and. responding in like
manner to all the calls for the larger
work of the Kingdom.
In him was to be found at all times
a ready, faithful and wise counsellor
but never dictator, thus helping and
not hindering the larger development
His home was always open to the
church, in all of its departments, fol
the pleasure and entertainment Of
young and old alike, and labor and ex
Ipense were never spared to that end
and that hospitality was extended Il
those from without, who in the pur
suit of the Masters work, sough
shelter in our midst.
Resolved therefore, that we record
our high appreciation of his valuabl,
services and our deep sorrow in thi'
our loss;' and that this paper be en-
tered upon our Seasonal records, ant
that copies be sent to the family AIT
to the raper for publication.

GIVEN TWO YEARS FOR
FORGERY At JAMESTOWN.

Dickinson, March A7.-Joseph Els
sert,' who deserted his wife and foul
children, forged a number of small
checks and left for Montana, later go
ing to Milwaukee, is now in the peni
Tertiary where he has two years tG
serve for the crime of deserving his
wife. A short time before his arrest
in Milwaukee he was married to a
girl Of seventeen years, having repre-
sented to her parents that he had
many houses and a large property al
Dickinson. In marrying at Milwau
kee, he committed bigamy, his wife in
this city not having been granted he1
divorce until about the time OF his
arrest. In fact, Essert was under
bonds to pay a certain share OF his
weekly wages to the woman for the
support Of herself and children. AS
soon as he has finished his presen,
sentence, the authorities will likely
take him on the charge of bigamy
which will be punishment for mis-
wrong doings in Milwaukee.

MISSOURI RIVER
RISING RAPIDLY
Huge Gorge Holds at Williston;
River Level With High
Banks.

The Missouri river at Mandan TO
day reached the same stage, 12.G, as
, during the high water earlier this
spring. and the >ater is now within
two feet of the top Of the high banks
Oh each side
The water is much higher at San
ish now than it was earlier this
spring, and this would indicate that
still higher water may be expected
here.
SO far the ice has shown no signs
Of breaking up, but has risen with
the water.
The Heart river has gone down and
little trouble is feared from that
source.
Havre Flooded.
The Milk river at Havre, Mont,
is still on the rampage and the low
lands and lower parts of the city are
flooded. No estimate Of the damage
has been reported.
Gorge Holds.
The gorge in the Missouri at Will
liston is still holding, but the water
is reported to be falling.
Conditions Serious.
O. w! Roberts, section director is
sued the following last night: "Con-
ditions along the Missouri river in
North Dakota continue to be more or
less serious. The gorge at the mouth
Of the Yellowstone still holds, while
for several days there has been a
gorge at the mouth of the Milk river,
which has caused the lowlands of
Havre to be inundated. From Willis
ton to Sanish the river is fairly free
from running ice, a gorge having
formed several miles below the latter
city. The river has risen steadily at
Bismarck during the, past few days,
the stage at 700 p. m. last evening
being 1870, a total rise of 3.5 feet
since 700 a. N. Thursday. 1t is
barely possible that the excessive wa
ter may run out without breaking up
the ice at Bismarck, but it seems
hardly probable. Should any one Of
the upper gorges let loos while the
high water is cming down, Bismarck
is very likely to experience one or
the worst floods in her history.
