Frontage Tax
"Planks in both the last Democratic
and Republican territorial platforms
called for amendments, by the 1917
Legislature, to the Frontage Tax law.
We point to this criticism of the law
as evidence Of its general unpopular
ity, in its present form, among ali
classes of citizens. While reiterating
our adherence to the plank in the
Democratic Territorial platform on
this subject We direct the attention of
the voters to the fact that this law has
been enacted and upheld by three Re-
publican legislatures. The Democratic
party therefore pledges its candidates
to faithfully carry out the mandates
Of the law. using such discretionary
power as may reside in the board in
so doing, in such way as will work
the least possible hardship on prop,
erty holders when roads are to be con
structed under this law

tiohary power as may reside in the

will work the least possible hardship

to be constructed under this law.

Fogarty a Hard Worker
Chairman E. P. Fogarty Of the Re-
| publican county committee and the
Republican campaign manager, is
working like Trojan, day and night,
to win for the straight Republican
ticket. Fogarty is generally credited
real dope"-with being live wire
on detailed work, and though his
term has been short, he has been try
ing to make up for it by laboring long
hours.
Neither party IS spending anything
like the amount Of rooney that has
been let loose IL former campaigns.
The Republican organization has an
unusually good business system,
whereby every dollar spent is account
ed for in black and white. The paid
runner days are about over, it would
appear, for there are less precinct
workers nnder. pay than in any cam4
paign in recent years, it is declared.
A feature Of last nights meetings
was the number of Republican speak
ers who turned their oratorical fires
upon the Star-Bulietin because it has
not urged the support of the straight
Republican ticket, to the exclusion OF
all other candidates.
The fact that the Star-Bulletin sup
ported the straight Republican ticket
two years ago is brought forward b.
the campaigner3 as a conclusive req
son why it should do the same thing
in this election.

MANY LONDON WOMEN ARE

as the woman pocket money work
err a conference convened by the
Womens Industrial Council is to be
held this month
1t is asserted thaht large numbers
of girls of good family are working in

of lowering wages for the genuine

over.
The council is endeavoring to i'm

Women Has Taken Place of Man

Even Mine Causes Change in Their Wearing Apparel

ROTTERDAM, Holland. Oct 22.-
The German Empire, to same extent,
has become dependent upon women's
labor, declares a German correspond
ent of the "Niewe Rotterdam Courant.
In the hospitals, at railroads, in shops
and in offices, even in the most re-
sponsible positions, the work is prin-
cipally done by women. In even first
class restaurants girls and women
have replaced the walters. The travel
Ter who enters hotel encounters a
porter in long skirts, who carries out
his behests as quickly as before.
Street traffic is largely in the hands
of the women. Women conductors,
drivers and inspectors are dressed in.

Passengers meet with better treat
ment than was the case with the male
staff. On the railroads women are
serving in booking offices, as guards
on the trains, or porters. Letters anil
kilograms are delivered by women
and girls. Most of the few automo-
biles are driven by women.
But the main work of the women is
in the factories The skilled work
has now more and more passed into
their hands, as well as the carrying
of heavy loads At the turning bench,
at the furnaces, everywhere they are

are more and more to be seen in the

GREECE WAS ABOUT To

TI0NS OF EUROPE.

ATHENS, Oct Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.)-A4
dream of empire which would have
made Greece a ruling power in Asia
Minor, along the route to the Orient
opening of the war in Europe. This
has just been brought out with Off
cial eXactness in the mass of diplo-
matte documents laid before parlia-
ment, and in statements by Premier
Venizeos and the Minister of Roreign
Affairs, NJ Politis. Referring to the
territorial concessions which Greece
could have acquired at that time,
NJ Venizelos said:
Il had succeeded in obtaining the
recognition of the rights of HELEN.
ism over western Asia Minor And /
can say without exaggeration that
the day received the communication
of Sir Edward Grey speaking of very
important territorial concessions on
the coast Of Asia Minor, was day OF
rejoicing ais keen as that when the
ucharest treaty was signed, giving
us Saloniki, Macedonia and new
Greece
Il who had known how small ana
feeble Greece was only three or four
years ago, saw the supplying bound
she was about to make. This little
Greece had now succeeded in occu-
plying a place equal to that of the
great powers in the settlement of the
fate of Turkey which had been the
apple of discord between the Euro
pean powers"
But as Asia MINOR was a field ow Ger
man ambition and hope, NJ. Venizelos
said he found himself opposed net
only by the then King Constantine
but also by the army general staff,
which, he declared, served policy
purely Germanic." And with this op-
position backed by the king, the OPP
portunity held out to Greece to be-
come a great power in Asia was final
ly lost
NJ. Politis, the Minister of Foreien
Affairs. gave some of the details of
these concessions, and told how near
Ithey came to being realized in two
formal treaties.
There was the desire of the west
ern powers" he said, ito have Greece
adopt policy mutually advantageous
to them and to Greece, that they de-
clared for the Hellenic government
that they were ready to assure to
Greece, in return for its cooperation
in the war against Turkey Smyrna
and an important part of the hintec-
land"
After lengthy discussion, NJ. Politis
said, a double convention was con-
cluded But at this point the army staff
interviewed and succeeded in defeat
ing the plan.
while these large territorial plans
came to nothing, yet their definiteness
indicates they may again be heard
from when the final adjustment of the
war takes place. for Greece is not
unlikely to have the same aspirations
toward entering Asia Minor, and the
western powers the same willingness
they have already shown to give
Greece a foothold on this route to

Specimens

H. Suessdorf and Happy Bjorn re-
turned yesterday from the headwat-
ers of the Gravina river with three
fine bear skins to prove their skill.
Mr.. Suessdorf stated that the season
was little late to hunt these ami
mails for the reason that the foliage
was so dense that it was impossible
to see them unless one went far up
on the mountain tops. He and Mr..
Bjorn mushed 8 miles inland from
Gravina bay and made camp at their
old quarters, established last year.
The bears were all black, with very
fine skins.
