For a number of years ln\ response to the demands for improved s{reets the taxpayers in city meeting' ap- proved of the plan-for placing per- manent pavemeni§ in some -of the principal - thoroughfares. The im- provement has added greatly to the appearance of our streets and no one would think for a minute of < going back to the unsatisfactory conditions which formerly existed. For several years there has been lit- tle .or nothing done In this direction, but the opportunity for tfie continua- tion of such rk is by» no medns lacking. Petitions have been made for appropriations to improve streets and particularly the entrances to the city, but the need of keeping down the tax rate has resulted in such proposi- tions being indefinitely postponed. Again this year in the call for the city meeting are included a number of petitions for the improvement of streets. Some of the improvements have been asked for repeatedly and are only such as the city should un- dertake especially when consideration is given to the two big outlets through /Thames and North Main streets. They, as well as some others, should be put in such condition that they would be a credit to the city and it is entirely possible without burdening the tax- payers. It could be accomplished un- der such a method ds was adopted when Little Water street was widened, and with a slight paring of the esti- mates made for this extra work it would bé possible to secure thls much needed benefit by laying a half mill tax for the mext four years. No one would feel this mite, a number of the needs could be met and the appear- ance of the city approaches greatly improved and such work would put an end to eyesores and Street problems which are hard nuts for any commis- sloner to crack. Such™ is a' matter which onght to get thorough consid- eration at the coming city meeting. YUAN SHI KAL The death of Yuan Shi Kai, presi- dent of the Chinese republic, coming as it did at this time, only increases ductive tariff which prospers Ameri- ca first was well put as he endorsed for as he said “we want our prosperity to .be home created and home sustained, and not dependent upon conditions abroad. He insists upen a' square deal for honest busi- ness, big and little and the creation of a shield against destruction by for- eign competition. His reference to the duty of this country under the Doctrine ‘was to the point as was that which re- ferred to the course in the past and that in the future regarding Ameri- canism, and the protection of Ameri- can rights at home, on our borders, on the seas, in overy land and under every sky, and- in.this respect he wisely declares that “one must be un American first and a partisan after- wards.” “Straight “ahead” is the wsmgh‘woru he gives in this respect, and®it is a [fact that Americanism, like charity, must begin at home. TIME WILI® TELL. From the claims which are coming from Germany regarding other British ships sunk in the fight off Jutland, and the accompanying denfals from Great Britain that such is the case because those ships have already re- turned to their base and are therefore not at the bottom of the North 'sea, it is quite evident that there is still much uncertainty as to just what the respective losses were In that great battle. Great Britain declares ithat it has announced each and every one of the ships -that were lost, but as yet no such statement has come from Ber- lin. There has as yet been no answer to the British Insistence that the enemy lost 18 vessels, including some of its best ships, which if so would make its loss in tonnage and men equal if not greater than that of Great Britain. * At The time will come when the real facts will be known, but the.fight has shown, whichever side is eventually found to have suffered the greater loss, that the bottled up German' fleet can fight when it does come out, even though it does not possess the ability to wrest the control of the sea from John Bull, but though it can fight it e shrieks andsSam npearly lands us in e ditch. 5 “Oh, that’s right—stop!” tells him approvingly. “Henry, just look there!

Strange as it may seem there has been a noticeable lack of straw votes taken upon the choice for the vice presidency. In standing for the addition of two dreadnoughts to the navy this Senator Tillman is a good one to pass on the needs of the nation as to fight- ers.
