AID CLUBS VOTE
ON BOND issue
MUCH in FAVOR
Postal Gard Returns Received
to Date Show Members
Rack Rroupsed Plans ~

By a vote Of 81 to 19 members OF
the Ad Club so Tar participating in
the postal card vote are recorded In
favor OF the proposed bond issue. Al
the Ad Club luncheon at the Young
Hotel today Albion Clark. chairman
of the roads committee, read the re-
turns to date. There were 81 returns
received and out of these 81 voted
yes. Several were not definite.
Many of the returns are to come,
but the first vote showed that the
bond issue is strongly favored by
members of the Ad Club who had dis
cussed the situation. Many of the
replies received contained emphatic
declarations of opinion, in addition to
the vote.
Among the answers received we're
some who gave reasons as follows:
place the sewerage under the
frontage tax"
Yes, provided that the money is
properly spent and the graft cut out
Kalakaua avenue must be fixed
first.
Levy duty of $40 a ton on out
going sugar"
mo, not by a sight, IL. the
present bunch of boneheads are going
to control II"
Roads are wanted first"
mo. the water rates will be suf-
ficient in the future to pay for i'm
provements."
Chairman Clark in his report gave a
clear view of the situation, and inn
pressed upon the members the need
Of establishing a permanent system
OF roads. He remarked that at the
present time there is an S-inch pipe
on Kalakaua avenue that has been
there for 20 years, and before per
manent road is built the underground
sewers and water pipes must be large
enough.
Clafa read the following letter from
George p. Castle on the bond issue,
sent In conjunction with favorable
vote:
Il believe in bonds for extensions,
but think that water and sewer users,
and no one else, should pay for their
privileges. Therefore the rates for
both should be high enough to cover
AN.AAu6 SAPSuSOo, iCpoho, uphcCp anu
enough to 5uild UP a reserve sufficient
for the eventual payment Of bonds. II
this is not done then it becomes a tax
on parties not benefited. / do not
think that man living in the city
suburbs. and not having the benefit
of city water or sewer. should help
TO pay the cost of same for the bene-
fit Of city users, any more than he
should pay for their gas or electricity.
Very truly yours. t
e. p. CASTLE"

Evidence to show our general down-at- the

accommodating. At a dinner given by the Boston
Chamber of Commerce, e. Lester Jones, SUI
perintendent Of the government coast and

Of surveys and charts of recent date in the gov
eminent bureau was dire menace to the safe
ty Of our navy in case of war as well as a con-
tinual inconvenience to merchant marine look
ing to this country for such material Accord
ing to Mr.. 10 the government has never
given the deps -ent attention, housing it in
quarters which make efficient work difficult
and leaving records, which are of immense
value and not to be replaced, practically I'M
protected. But now matters are worse than
ever In spite of lack of funds to provide men
and ships for this service the department has
managed to make some valuable charts, but
the sundry civil bill which has just been re-
ported fails to provide money for the compile.
ton and publication of these. This is but an
other example of the many details of shiftless
incompetency on the part of congress in keep
ing our marine matters In proper running order.

IT'S UP TO THE WOMEN.

The suffrage plank in the republican nation
al platform probably looks stouter at close
range than at this distance The suffragists
who went to Chicago to form 'woman 8 par
tv, profess to be satisfied with the concessions,
and hence it must be regarded a suffrage vic
tory. But the plank really promises nothing.
It is to be suspected that the women Of the Con
gressional Union, after working so hard and
threatening so harshly, inclined to magnify
the fruits of their labor and thereby make the
performance measure up to the effort The re-
publican provision declares:
The republican party, reaffirming its faith in
government of the people, for the people, by the
people as a measure OF justice to one-half Of the
adult people Of country, favors the extension
of suffrage women, but recognizes the right OF
each state TO settle this question for itself
This is vague The republicans should have
gone further in their declaration. The idea is
set forth that extension Of suffrage is favored.
but not by constitutional amendment. The
plank promises hardly nothing more than that
the party will not work against suffrage In
fact the declaration simply states that the suf-
fragists shall be permitted to work as hard and
as long as they will
We have an idea now that the women of the
suffrage states In the proportion and wisdom
of their voting In the next four years, will have
