COAIAIUNITY CLUB AlEETS
The St. Johns Community Club
convened nt the auditorium of
mo nign scnooi building Tuesday
ovuiuiijf insieau oi tno library
as had boon announced, owing
iu uiuiimiiea spnco or tho latter.
t imriy goou attonoanco was
present, among whom a number
ot property owners residing on
tho site that is proposed to bo
nnnoxcd to the Caples tract as a
park site. Soveral of these made
remarks, tho burden of which
was that if they must give up
thoir homes in tho interost of
a park that thoy wore entitled to
a fair compensation for tho ex
pense and trouble they had gone
to in securing and beautifying
thoir residences. That it was on
ly right that such should bo tho
caso was freely conceded. Chair
man Dow Walker of tho park
committao said tho commiss
ioners had given nssuranco that
they would bo fair and just in
tho matter and that tho property
owners would bo accorded full
value for their holdings. Mr.
Walker anid ho did not blamo
anyone for vigorously protesting
if they were not proffered the
full valuo of their property. lie
said so far ns tho park commit
teo was concerned it had been a
matter of area with it, and
when tho commissioners had
asked if tho Caples tract, aug
mented by three doublo blocks
was adequato tho committed
could do nothing else than ac-
nulcsnuo. On motion of A. E.
Jones tho secretary was directed
to indito a letter to tho city corn
m as oners asking them to meet
with the nroncrty owners in an
effort toarrivoat a fair and just
settlement n regard to tha pro
parties affected, and it was the
senso of tho meeting that tho club
would exert its influcnco in see
Inir thnt full justlco was dono.
Mrs. J. M. Shaw stated that
the Y. W. C. A. was boing do
prived of its headquarters in tho

Cliy nail Bincu uiuiairuuiuru was
undorgoing needed alterations
and thoy would hnvo no placo to
meet. After giving a tow n
toresting statistics rclati vo to the
splendid work boing dono by this
orunnizntion, sho wanted to
know if it waa worth whilo to
tha community to establish new
nunrterfl and keen tho work go
inc. After somo iittlo discussion
it was decided to appoint a com
mitteo of fivo to dovisc ways
and moans of procuring a now
home, and President Monahan
appointed tho following: Mrs.
J. M, Shaw, chairman; II. W.
Bonham, Dr. E. P. Bordon,
A. E. Jones and Mrs. R. G.
Brand. Dr. Borden stated that
tho Baptist church building could
bo purchased, as it was not now
in uso. tho Baptist congregation
of Univeristy Park and St. Johns
having combined, and a now
edifico would bo erected somo
whoro between tho two points.
H said tho building could bo
purchased for K000. $201) of
which tho church would donato,
and suggested this might serve
as a homo for tho Y. tT C. A.
and also as a temporary home
for tho community club. Dr.
Mnlkoy, in speaking of a com
munity house, stated that ho
believed tho best plan would bo
for the citizens to raise funds for
the purchase of a site centrally
located and then secure tho aid
of tho city in erecting a suitable
building. He volunteered to be
onoof 25 to giro $100 or of 50
to give $200 toward such project,
A. E. Jones asked all to stand
who would bo willing to civo
$1P0, also all who would gUo $50
and then who would give l and
up, according to thsir means,
tovard tho erection ot a new
community house. Ho received
response to all three caiia and
all stood up at lu- iatk-r call.

THE POLITICAL POT
By P. J. Kupfer.
Tho candidates for offices at
the coming primary election,
which tnko3 placo on Mny 21, aro
now prepared to go before tho
voters nnd oxalate on thoir
qualifications, thoir patriotism
and tnat tbey will promise in
tho Way of reform, nconnmv nnd
tho subjection of tho discontent.
ed malefactors whoso opinions
are and hnvo been antagonistic
to present conditions, whnn
politicians begin to make out
their slogans for presentation to
the voters, it should bo as brief
as possible. As a rulo when tho
candidate runs for nn office ho
or sho starts out with so many
things that need remedying that
it gives one nn impression why
mako promises at all? I don't
sco any use of any candidate
mnking n contract boforohand
with tho public. First find out
if tho bill can be filled. But tho
trouble with the primary laws is
that it is very hard for each ono
of tho candidates to appear bo-
fore a civil sorvico commission
and trike an oxnmination for tho
office to which ho or sho may
aspiro to. Tako for instance
several of tho candidates running
for Longross. Supposing thoso
candidates l have in view would
bo elected, nnd when tho timo
came to servo nnd assume tho
duties, could they render unto
tho citizens the sorvico required
for tho amount which tho covorn
mont pays them? I should say
not. And wo find the samo
thing in many other instances.
Take for instance tho number of
candldntcri who aro running for
Stato Senators and Represent
atives how many of them nro
fitted for making Inws that are
and should bo for thu benefit of
thoir follow man?
I am going to givo tho reader
a complete bill of fare of all tho
candidates who aro now running
for office. This is dono for tho
purpose of mteting competition
with the great daily nowspapers.
Tho proprietors of tho a mill I
weekly newspapers do not have
stock In any of tho paper fac
tories, so therororo wc, that is
tho writer, cannot imposo too
much on spaco, which is very
vnluablo at this atago of the
game, and must not maxo too
many comments about tho gcTud
or bad qualities ot candidates.
For President of tho United
States thcro aro fivo candidates
in tho field on tho Republican
tlckot. For Vico President thero
will bo thrco on tho ticket. On
tho Domocrntic ticket wo have
not heard or seen any ono who is
going to run outside of Hoove.
That boing tho caso, tho Domo
crates will hnvo no troublo in
nominating their choice, nnd as
to tho Vico President so far wo
cannot speculate; its against
our principles.
l'or United btates bonator
well at tho last minuto there had
to como "out of tho woods" the
son or Abraham, wnethor no
camo too lato or not to get into
tho runninr"right" depends up
on tho "practice" ho has had.
At any rnto tho race will be
between Robert N. Stanfield and
Albert Abraham for the Repub-
ican nomination. On the Demo
cratic ticket there will also be
two candidates, Georgo E.
Chamberlain and N. E. Stark
weather.
For Congress on Republican
ticket wo have Hon. C. N. Mc-
Arthur, present incumbent,
bugene E. bmith and Thomas A.
Sweeney. For tho Democratic
nomination wo have two ladies
Dr. Esther Lovejoy and Mrc.
Aloxander Thompson. No gentle,
men are contending for this of-
ice on tho Democratic ticket.
Como 7, come 11. but it is
only 7 for Secretary of Stato.
