LIBERTY DAY.

Where once the Spanish gallcons
Toward the sunset bore,
The laden transports race away
To Furope's troubled shore.
The sunlight and the starlight on
A million bayonets dance,
For all the reeling decks are packed
With soldiers bound for France.
Queen Isabella gave her gems
To fit Columbus out
With ships and men and carronades
To put his foes to rout;
Shall we do less than did the queen
To whom we owe today
This broad and fertile land we love
The dear old l. S A.?
Upon this date we dedicate.
With starry flags unfurlcd,
To Liberty. sweet Liberty,
The jewel of the world,
The armies of America
Are speeding Ger the wave,
The nations vet unborn from chains
And servitude to save.

And voyage ocr the sea,
But we can help to buy the blade

0tHE attendance at the open meeting of
= the Chamber OF Commerce Committee
on Municipal Affairs on Monday afternoon
will disclose the extent Of the interest Of
the public in the subject Of street cleaning
Bids for cleaning the streets next year
are to be opened on Tuesday. II was dis
covered late this week that the SpecifiCa-
tions on which bids are asked had been
radically changed. Instead Of requiring
q fixed number OF mon and a fixed number
of wagons and sweepcrs to bo used in each
district, these matters arc to be left to
the discretion OF the bidder who gets the
contract. Then. too the number of square
yards of pavement to he cleaned every
day is reduced and other changes have
been made.
The immediate demand of tho Chamber
OF Commerce that the meaning Of the
changes be publicly explained is wholesome.
Members of that body are leading business
men of the community. If they decide that
the government in the City Hall must be
efficient and If they take steps to put their
decision into effect, there is hope for the
future. The present unsatisfactory Condi-
tions have prevailed because of the indif-
ference of those whose influence is power
ful enough to bring about their improve
ment.
The first thing to be done is to find out
what the new street cleaning specifications
mean. Mayor Smith, Director Datcsman
and Chief Hicks should be present Monday
to explain. We await the outcome with
some curiosity.
