The Mayor assured Mr.. Bennett that
he would be allowed any reasonable

turned TO his attack on the Writ item.
"The city has other experts fully as
competent as Mr.. Writ" said Mr.. Ben
nett. ~ am informed that it costs the
city from 10000 to $4,000 year TO

New Rochelle Has
Hot Political Fight
Insurgents Wage Bitter Cam
paign Against Reelection
of Mayor Grifing

NEW ROCHELLE, n. Y, Oct. 81
New Rochelle is now in the middle Of
one Of the most bitter political battles
ever waged in all its stormy municipal
career. On one side is the political ma
chine created by Mayor Edward Stetson
Grfhng. who seeks reelection on the
Republican ticket, and is supported by
both the local newspapers. On the
other are ranged certain independent
Republicans who resent Mayor Crit
fng's rule, Democrats and Progressives.
This latter body is led by Edison s.
Lott, president Of the United States
Casualty Company. He and his follow
ers charge that during his last term
Mayor Griffing used his authority to
build up personal political machine,
and that through his lieutenant, Robert
Lesser, he has distributed patronage
for his own advancement.
The insurgents allege that .Grifing's
machine has subsidized the press of
New Rochelle. "The Evening Stand
ard has always been his stanch sup
porter, Until this year, however, "The
Daily Star" has opposed him. Recently
II changed its policy and is now sup
porting him.
Other indictments which the Mayors
opponents have laid against him include
one which charges that he has broken
his word TO the people Of New Rochelle
When running for Office four years ago
he promised that ne would not increase
the assessment roll. During his admin
istration, his opponents say. the roll
has been boosted more than so per cent.
1t is also said that he has increased the
bonded indebtedness Of the city by $780,
600. 1t is likewise charged that ne has
attempted to increase the Mayors sal
airy from $4,000 to $4,000 year.
Griffing's rival is Frederic II. Wal
dorf, who was Mayor of New Rochelle
in 1912 and 1918.

THRIFT.

Thrift, is the one word that the
American nation as a whole and the
American people in general should
keep before them constantly.
Beginning with the government, the
heads of the different departments
should get to work and stop the leaks,
from the wasteful methods of building
~battleships to the useless destruction
of our forests. They are already be-
ginning to wake up to the fact that I'M
less something is done without any
delay, we shall soon have exhausted
all III natural resources. In the
west there are a few men employed
by the government to take care of the
forests and see that they are not de-
strOyed by men or fire, and plant more
trees where there are none, but what
can a few men do? Go down to the
station any day and you will see a
steady stream of wagons loaded with
wood to be shipped away. Where does
the wood come from? The mountains
of course. Do the men who cut the
trees nlant more to take their places?
No! When the trees are cut off do the
springs dry up? Why of course. Well,
where do the rivers rise. They rise
in he mountains. Then if the trees
are cut off not only will the best of the
land wash away but in time the
springs will dry up and lower the wa
ter in the rivers, where it is needed

Like most all great aggregatiOns Of
earth's population, Chicago calls her
self not only one, but two grand cities.
One is denOminated the LOOP" and is
what is known as the business district
and is really one of the most bristling
spots of the earth. The other city,
covering many times more territory is
what the Chicagoans themselves call
the Vacation City, and it is of such
great immensely that thousands upon
thousands of people living within the
radius, do not have anything but limit
ed knowledge of the place in which
they live. Think of nearly 80 miles of
frontage on the West bank of Lake
Michigan, a fresh water lake with bath
ing beaches for millions of people, and
the surface of the Lake covered with
many kinds of sailing craft, plying in
every direction.
Chicago is the most famous park
city on earth-Lincoln Park, Washing
ton Park, Jackson Park Cthe old
Worlds Exposition grounds)-McKin-
ley Park, Douglas Park, Sherman Park,
Garfield Park Humboldt ark, Mar
quette Park, Hyde Park, EngIewood
Normal Park, Ravens Wood, Chicago
Lawn, Union Stock Yards and The I'm
1Vers1ty of Chicago, all covering many
thousands of acres and the expendi-
ture of many millions of dollars. Have
you read Haymarket Square where the
anarchist bomb was thrown in the riot
OF 1885? More truck garden produce
is sold here than any other place on
earth and who but a wretch would
want to throw a bomb at any such
place? The Hull House, where Miss
Jane Adams and her organized help
ers, take care of and look after tens of
thousands of girls and woman strang-
ers-the La Rabida Sanitarium. for

THURSDAY, MARCH %. 1917.
HE is CAPABLE AND WORTHY.

We see by the Lexington Dispatch
that Colonel E. M. Uzzell, for many
years North Cardinals Public Printer,
is aspiring to the office of Commission
er of Public Safety for the city of RAJ
leigh and this paper quite agrees with
the Dispatch in the high estimate 1T
places upon the character and fitness
of Mr.. Uzzell for the position he seeks.
Such an Office demands, first of all, a
man in whom the sense of justice is
supreme-one who will hew to the line
of equal rights to all and special priv
iIeges to none, bending no more to
popular favor than to corporate infu-
ence; fearless alike of demagogue and
coruptfonist. The Commissioner of
Public Safety in any city should be a
courageous, just man, rather than a
politician, and Colonel UZzell has a
long record for honesty, industry and
square dealing. His work as Public
Printer has brought him into an init
mate knowledge of men and affairs and
he would bring into any public office a
ready fund of individual information
and experienced Those who know him
feel that he would hold the scales
evenly and weigh out justice to all
classes, without fear or favor. ;,
The people of the State naturally
feel a pardonable pride in the affairs
of their capital city, just a sthey feel
an interest in the promotion of capa-
BILE and deserving men. 1t is little
wonder, therefore, that outsiders are
manifesting an interest in the an
nouncement that "Pa Raleigh" and His
son, Colonel E. M. Uzzell, are antici-
pating a copartnership for the mutual
benefit of both and the protection of
the public in general. Colonel Uzzell
is admirably qualified for the duties of
the important position of Commission
er of Public Safety and here's hoping
the fair Getty of Oaks" may draft him
for service. -
