No reliance can henceforth be placed upon a party which has no regard either for its own honor or the nation's dig nlty and safety. Patriotic citizens cannot be expected to vote for dem ocratic candidates who repudiate the solemn pledges and default In personal and patriotic obligations. "It is not wise to entrust the pow ers of government to a party of nar row sectionalism, and small Ameri canism which has no conception asi to the nation a dangers or the na tion's duty, or of the nation's des tiny..', . k,It is actually not safe to repose the fate of the greatest nation in the world to the care of a party, which proposes to contract our na tional possessions, and which re fuses either to protect our. interests abroad or safeguard our citizens at home.

"I believe we have offended the patriotic sentiment and'the best in telligence of the country," said the first district congressman. "Unless 1 am mistaken the people favor the maintenance of an adequate navy, and this sentiment is express ed in ; our last national democratic platform, the ----le have associated the continuous building of battle ships with their conception of an adequate navy. "During the Roosevelt administra tion and the first two years of TaJt's . administration, when our party was in a minority in the house, the bulk of the democrats voted-for one battleship, and in my opinion we should have maintained this at titude at this session of congress while we are in the majority.

Elmer Hufi'ner still insists that old maids are a detriment and a menace to society, and has advised Miss Gould to seek a mate Incognito in the back woods. Mr. Huffner says: "Her riches have handicapped her in real enjoy ment of life and I dare say she is not as happyi in her private car as is my servant girl." MlhN (jould'N Letter. In her letter Miss Gould took is sue with thp onlnions voiced by Rev. Huffner. Miss Gold's letter follows: "Glancing over a Denver paper, I notice an Item concerning your ser mon on 'Love. Courtship and Mar riage," one part of which 1 espec ially notice, saying that old bachelors and bachelor maids. should be isolat ed on an island so they could not hinder the progress of civilization. 1 do not know why you Wake this statement, but I feel that it Is a great injustice to the bachelor maids of our country. There are, I admit, many man-haters la the world, but Ijtorham People Agitated Orer Arrangements ror secur ing Water agreehenTexpected Water Company Proposes to Spend $150,000, But Wants to Maintain Present Rates and Extension, of Franchise -City Authorities, See ing Durham's Growth, Do Not Agree to This Town May Buy Property Under Certain Condi tions. (Specfal to The Times.) - Durham, July 26. The question of making a new contract with the Durham Water Company is occupy ing the whole attention of the city authorities at this time, though the prospects are good for reaching of an agreement either today or to morrow.; '. The water company proposes to spend about $150,000 in Increasing the plant and putting it in condition to serve the city for several years to come, but in consideration of this proposed improvement it asks for an extension of its franchise and that its present water and hydrant rates be kept during the term of the fran chise. The Opposition. There is opposition to the propo sition of extending the franchise for thirty years, and it is argued that the rates that were adopted when the city's population was very much smaller than It is now should not be in use for the next thirty years since the town has grown so much, and since the revenue to the com pany has been greatly increased. The hydrant rate of 145 should be reduced to $40, argue the city, authorities. ., . - May Buy Plant. Another clause in the proposed contract that is causing considerable discussion is the length of the pe riods in which the city may pur chase the water company if it so desires. At the present, Durham has an opportunity of buying the plant every ten years, but the new ccon tract will probably give the oppor tunity of buying every five years after the first ten. All these matters will be threshed out in the next day or two, and an agreement that will be satisfactory to all concerned will be reached. SENATE DEMOCRATS FAVOR HOUSE BILL. a Washington, July 25. Democratic senators in cau- cus today determined to sup- port the house excise tax bill, virtually levying an income tax on all persons and co- partnerships doing business of more than five thousand dollars annually, and to re- Ject the Borah Income tax ; bill offered as an amendment. There was some opposition to this course, a great many bachelor maids are not living alone because they so choose but because they have been unable to find a suitable companion. "I must admit that I am speaking from the standpoint of the bachelor maid. I feel that such persons as myself are not hindering the pro gress of civilization, but advancing It. I might have spent my money in a different way and for a reason which might not have done as much good as it bas. "Please think this question over and before preaching on this sub ject again, make up your mind that there Is some good in living a single life." '.'-.' ' " 4 Strong For Itooserelt. .
