SPECIAL COMMITTEE HOLDS
EARLY MORNING SESSION
Looks Like Concrete VIII Be De.
clded Upon as Proper Paving for
Between Car Tracks In Mar
ket and West Second
Streets.

A very early morning meeting of the
special committee OF council recently
appointed to confer with the Maysville
Stree Railroad Company to reach
some agreement on paving between
the car rails on Market and West Sec
ond streets was held this morning at
1880 o'clock and considerable headway
was made.
Mr.. e. T. Kirk, extensive property
owner on West Second street, was
called into conference by the commit
tee and the opinion of the property
owners along the line will be obtained
before anything definite is done toward
finally solving this much discussed
problem.
1t seems as though. the committee
has just about reached the conclusion
that concrete is the proper sort of paw
ing to use and 1t is more than likely
that the payment will be made by di-
viding the cost into three parts, be-
tween the car company, the city and
the property owners along the line.

For twenty years I suffered with
bleeding and itching piles; at times
was confined to the house for more

using San Cura Ointment and one 6Oc

Springfield, H., May 24.--Two limo

in the house Friday by Representa-

floor leader, have apparently knocked
into a cooked hat Illinois $60,0O000O
program for good road building.

Director of Public Works Frank T.
Bennett last night said:
we are placed in serious di-
lemma. | do not care to discuss the
situation until | have talked with Mr.

Bennett believes the amendment
will invaidate the $6000e,000 bond

fall and make impossible the expendi
ture of single penny on good road
building.
Waterway Bill Amended
The house advanced to third read

companion measures already through

insudes the passage Of the big water
way measure.
The Shurtleff amendments to the
road bills were the sensation Of the
day Shurtleff is recognized as the
spokesman for the administration, and
it was taken for granted that the
amendments had been sent with the
approval OF Governor Lowden.

THE THIRD TERM SET AT REST

i The Orlando Reporter-Star quotes
President Wilson's own words which
sets at rest the third term" scare
crow.
The words were spoken at lunch
con in Paris in honor of Elilaclo Pes
soa, president-elect of Brazil.
In making the initial speech, Pres
ident Wilson said:
81 am particularly glad to have the
opportunity of paying my respects 10
Mr. Pessoa. 1t is very delightful. for
one thing, if | may say So to know
that my presidency is not ahead u
me and that his presidency is ahead
of him. l wish him every happiness
and every success with the greatest
earnestness, and yet l cannot, if l
may judge by my own experience, ex-
pect for him a very great exhilaration
in the performance of the duties Of
his office, because, after all, to be
the head of an American state is a
task of unrelieved responsibility.
American constitutions as a rule put
so many duties of the highest sort
upon the president. and so much of
the responsibility of affairs of state is
centered upon him, that his years Of
office are apt to be years a little
weighted with anxiety, a little bur
dened with the sense of the Obliga-
ton of speaking for his people, speak
ing what they really think and en-
deavoring to accomplish what they
really desire"

MEMORIAL ADDRESS a
CLASSIC

The New York Herald says that
nothing could be added to the charm
and beauty of language used by Pres
ident Wilson in his Memorial Day
address at Suresnes, France. His
tribute to the American soldiers bur
led in the land of lilies; his inter,
probation of their heroic sacrifices
and their truly American spirit, Civ.
ing courage and confidence to their
French comrades; his chivaIrous
gratitude to the women of Suresnes
who "have given evidence of the Low
ing sense with which they received
these dead as their own" comprise
a cluster of literary gems worthy any
man. His words were indeed noble
when he said: For the beauty n,
this war is that it has brought a new
partnership and a new comradesbir
and new understanding into the
field of effort for the nations.

HOSTING THE RED FLAG

1t was once our proud boast tina
the United States offered an asylum
for the oppressed and Outcasts o
all races and all lands and to this ent
we opened wide our doors to receive
them whether they were political O.
other exiles.
That boast no longer fills us will
joy or pride.
Those exiles, one after another
have abused our hospitality and they
have failed totally to appreciate oul
form of government.
They come amongst us bearing con
cealed bombs and whenever and
wherever the opportunity offers they
hoist the red flag of anarchy.
Within the week they have planted
bombs in eight of our principal cities
with the purpose of committing das.
tardly murder Of innocent victims
with the hope of overthrowing the
oO'OA AAOhI anu UL1h6luB LGrTOF upon
the people.
One of these deadly missiles was
placed under the home of Attorney
General Palmer and but for an acct
dent would have destroyed the build,
ing and caused the death of the en-
tire family.
Bombs were simultaneously placed
in seven other principal cities and
the declared purpose of these men is
to destroy human life because some
are more prosperous than Others
"Class war is on" is what they pro-
claim in their literature, land cannot
cease without a victory for the pro-
letariat"
That any man born under our flag
could give these assassins counte-
nance is almost inconceivable and yet
they are not without their sympathi.
zers.
The whole gang, wherever found, il
not strung up without benefit of cler-
gy should at least be deported.
Our efforts toward amelioration has
been abused, our kindness has been
misinterpreted and hereafter we
should lock our ports against them
the same as we lock our doors against
burglars and murderers.
America for Americans" should
be our future slogan.

I, patriotic and high purposes simply
