COMMUNICATED
ELIMINATE MAIN STREET
 CROSSING:

To the Editor:
 Having read yuur editorial If Jan uary Sth in regard to the Lake street extension project, will you please al low mo to tai Ike some Of your Nalua ble space to express my sentiments on the ma tier.
 To my mind. We ought to first look out for tho sa fcty of the public at large and not for the floating of a corporation of business men and prop erty owners who are looking forward to increasing their property Nalua lions, as you say.
 Granted that the city is willing to finance the project, the public safety ought 10 come first. Eliminate the railroad crossing which endangers the lives of the city's mon. women and children every minute of the day. Only q few days ago. the gates at one of the crossings were broken and an aged man, standing in the middle of the street, waved a sign STOP to those who would cross. either by foot or in vehicles. Children. going to their homes from school needed not the warning sign and their precious lives were put in utmost danger, IS a string of freight cars rapidly neared the crossing. Fire apparatus whe summoned to either s small blaze or large ones. always risk the danger of
 having 10 wait if a train is CroSSin 2 the tracks. Doctors are delayed, our
 police ambulance. at times carryin 2 patients who arc between life and death arc al times. held up by pass ing trains.
 There is an open passWaN for pc destrianS., which adjoinS the tracks. and which extends from Lake street to Main. but that condition does not make the railroad crossing any safer, for it has become q. habit with many. to cross tho tracks at the risk of their lives. even when the very gates were down.
 We are certainly paying taxes which arc heavy enough and which no
 doubt will be higher this year. If VIC are going to m3k Ike expenditures. then why in tho namo of common sense do We not make them for the welfare and safetN of the people who live in our city: A subway for passing trains would do aNay with traffic con5es ton. lessen public danger and still open uc . street.

Butler: cast his mortar board hat in. The New York mans views on pr. Buffers candidacy include the following: r,
 Announcement of pr. Buffers can dIdacy caused no great stir. either in hls own state or elsewhere so far a $ could Be a5certaihed. It was taken as T noNeno ent against the candidacy of Gen! Leonard Wood, who continues to lead the: field. Although no doubt was expressed that Dr. Butler was sincere in his candidacy. there was d bclier in some quarters that the But Ter movement might in some way par allel that for Gov Frank O. Lowden no formal alliance, any delegates that might be for pr. Butler it was said. could be more easily swung for Gov. LoWdcn or for Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio than for any other candidate.
 Few could be found among New York State republican leaders who believed that pr. Butler had much chance of getting the nomina ton for president. although it was said that he might be named for vice president, thereby pla cling him in possible oppo- sition to the rcputed mbition of Sen ator William AT. Calder. At the sa me time. it was said. Dr. Butler undoubt- edly would obtain some New York delegates, if only for a plim entary vote on early ballots
 New Brita in's record during he past few years lends emphasis the sage advice about not judging by ap- pearances.
 Prophets Of woe have forecast all kinds of trouble for the Hardware City principally because so many. of it's rcsid Tents first saw the light in Flu rope or Asia.
 When draft les islation was enacted by congress il was freely predicted that refusal to enroll would be wide spread in this city and there was even silly talk of riots and bloodshed Fortuna telN these never came to pass and there were very few foreigners or natives on the ''slacller' list.
 Ut was also said that the "forelsn CTS" would not invest in the Liberty loans. If they ran true to fo1'nl-that Was the way it was arsued-the% would withdraw their money from tho banks and hide it under the mat tress Did they: wo'u say they didn't.
 1'heir predictions wasted in respect to the two foregoing subjects. the busy little taliscrs assumed another tack-this time they couldn't possibly fail The foreign ner5'' would rush to join the ranks of the BolshcNiki and the streets would run red with blood. An examination Of the thorouEhfares today reveals nothing but a coating Of slush thrown up by tho Connecticut company's pray as you enter cars.
 Taken by and large, the foreign CTS have given a good account of thcmSclVes.-

Churches Filled By Ads.

 Ministers in Rhode Island are be- ginning to sec great possibilities of advertising and are using consdera bic dj*pla; copN in the leading neWspa pcrs. It is gradually doing for the churches they say. what it docs for every enterprise.
 One pastor says that newspaper ad NcrtiSing in the past liaS increased the Sun lay att"Hdancc at, his church not less than 50 per cent. PFoNidcccc clcrsNmen who have tried ii and eX- pericnccd it's beneficial results have only ono complaint on .advertisin g. This is that church advertising has not N"t reached a plane of effective ness that compares with commercial a dN cruising. The church should have an advertising expert. one pastor states. as the solution Of producing the greatest amount of good. Several I declare that still better results might be obtained by.'c operative, or insti- tutiOl:&i advertising, supplemented by the individual announcements Of the different chl rcl. .eS. This would per- init the use Of more effective display and stronger arguments in favor of church. going for all.
