ABBOTT TALKS
 ON ROOSEVELT

Caution, or preparedness, distin- gushing the qualities from tinidity, was one of the four virtues that marked Roosevelt essentially as "the American,'' according to Dr. Law renee F, Abbott, editor of the Out look, last night in the high school auditorium at the opening of the canvass to raise funds for the cree tion of a memorial monument at Oyster Bay.
 The other three qualities he enum- erated were courage or feariessness, a sense of humor, or common sense, and gentieness, or considerateness for others. Dr. Abbottt told of Roose- velt's caution and spoke of the late colonel's speech on his return from Egypt Roosevelt scored the British government for what he considered it's weak and dangerous policy in han ding the affairs of Egypt He told the British audience that England should use a firmer hand or step out and let someo ther country do the job

MILFORD NEWS

The hearing of Monday evening before the police commissioners on tle proposed ruling governing the barking of automobiles epn Broad street was a, lively one many of the business men of the section involved being on hand to protest. Their claim was that at the sight of the signs, sNo Parking" transient travel that is now prolific source of reve- nue would pass through to the next town where such diseouragements do not exist. Messrs. Webber, Doll, Howes, Budgen and others were ob- jectors, and Chairman Clarke and Harry Clark of the commission bore the brunt of the defense. Decision, reserved; although the probabilities are that the ruling will not be made; at least in it's originally proposed form.
 The pressure on the tennis court at the Rosenbaum school has been so heavy that it has been found neces- sary to provide an additional one, and the new court is being laid out near the Annex.

to members of the administration to
notice and thwart the attetnpt of "the
other fellow" surreptiously to gain
points of advantage on the inside. Half
dozen appointments have been held
up where Ware workers sought to Sc
cure confidential posts under the new
administration, One was telephone
switchboard operator in an important
bureau where every movement would
have been known to "the other fell

A great source Of speculation is on the
subject of campaign expenses so far as
the administration is concerned. "A
source Of income is still left to the
Ware organization in the thousand or
more placeholders controlled by them
in the county Offices. OF course, these
will be worked to the limit.
As for the administration, 1t is not
worrying about the sinews of war. II

smaller Sunday editions and the elimina :
tion of extra editions.
Repeal OF the excess profits tax and
removal of all tariff on newsprint also
were suggested by Colver as remedies.
He said the shortage trouble began with
the excess profits tax encouraging un-
usually large expenditures for advertis-
ing as a means of evading the tax.
"Smaller publishers are most hurt, "
declared, Colver, because the larger
publishers are keeping paper from then,
by taking paper on contract" -.
No increase in production through
new mills to equal the increased con
sumption was in sight, he continued.
Consumption of this country is
greater than the supply" Colver said,
"and the stocks, which are very very
slender, are steadily decreasing.
''The production Of all grades OF
newsprint for 1919 was greater than
any preceding year. The stocks of news
print on hand at the paper mills de-
creased materially from the beginning
of 1917 to the end of 1910" ....
