The righ t 10 ,,.j,.rl o r (\In i* riwiTM.il l»y tin' I'uMi.-liiT FRIDAY, OCTOBER, 29. 1 !)(>!> cA TUin Statement to the Voters THERE ARE ONE OR TWO FACTS which should be distinctly un- destood by the voters in this Township. FIRST _ YOU CA N VOTE FOR NO LICENSE WITHOUT VOTING FOR THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES. The tickets are printed'separ ately, consequently Republicans can vote their straight ticket and still vote for No License if they wish. SECOND — let no voter delude himself with the idea that a ballot cast for the Democratic candidates is a ballot cast for Temperance. Th e ties between Tammany and the Democratic party in this county are too close for any candidate, no matter how honest personally, to obtain a strict enforcement of No License. • The Democratic party in this neighborhood has been identified with the liquor interests for many years, and it has made this alliance with the \No License\ party solely to gain votes Any Prohibitionist who votes for It will be buying a gold brick. THIRD — A GOOD, EFFICIENT PUBLIC SERVANT DESERVES TO BE RE-ELECTED. How efficient Mr. Barrett's administration has been, as contrasted with that in a neighboring town, is shown by the statement made to the writer by a prominent citizen, who had been in volved in the sale of a small piece of property near the town line. He said to the purchaser: \I'm not certain whether it It in Bedford or Newcastle.\ \It's in Newcastle\ said the buyer; \If it were in Bedford, I would pay $250 more for it.\ Comment is superfluous. , . IN THE MATTER OF THE LICENSE LAW. It is charged that the present administration has not enforced the No License Law. The fault lies with the public, not with the authori ties. The Juries will not convict. The best that the Law and Order Com mittee of the Bedford-Newcastle Association has been able to do in the excise cases was to get a vote of six to six on a jury. If the voters will do their duty in the jury box, this will be a sober town. License or No-License. One conviction for illegal liquor selling will do more for the cause of temperance than ten majorities for the Democratic ticket. Suppose you try it, gentlemen of the jury, just one convic^ionj Baldivin a. Worker*for the People THE REPORT OF STATE Charities Commissioner Baldwin on the Dutchess County Almshouse calls attention to a deplorable condition in the administration of this Institution. The death rate is three a month, BBJfeordlng to Inspector Hall, whose statements **s dors<d by the Com missioner; there is a miserably insufficient food allowance and it is ^ charged that the supervision of the inmates is altogether inadequate. \On the day day I visited the almshouse\ Mr. Baldwin says, \there were four inmates in a seemingly helpless and hopeless condition, lying on their beds receiving only such casual attention as could be rendered by the keeper and his wife at times when they were not busy with their other multitudinous duties. \The superintendent, though living on the grounds, rarely visits or gives any attention to the institution. The position of County Superinten dent of the Poor, at least in Dutchess County, is regarded as a political plum, and the wretched inmates, should they fall ill, are left in a most pitiable state of neglect. The record of death as shown by our inspec tors' reports is appalling. \That the Board of Supervisors of Dutchess County should give so little attention to their county almshouse is to me inexplicable and calls for the severest condemnation.\ It needed the co-operation of a diligent Inspector and an energetic Commissioner to bring to light this unfortunate state of affairs. The State is lucky to have Justioe Baldwin as Commissioner. Bed ford may also congratulate itself that he happens to be a member of our local Town Board. A WELCOME APPRECIATIONS Why not Bedford\ Hills? UNLESS OU R ENTERPRIZING neighbor to the Southward, yclept at present Bedford Station shall adopt some new name before long we shall have confusion worse confounded, for there is little doubt that the new railroad will presently go through and call another station by the same title. It has been suggested that \Bedford Hills\ would be a name more truly descriptive. The suggestion meets with the approval of such good and public spirited citizens as Messrs. Low and Marquand and Adam s whose opinion carries weight and whose choice should rule. Can any one suggest a better? If so we would be pleased to hear from him or her. AS THE NEW YORK CITY FIGHT goes on, Bannard's candidacy grows daily more promising. * His opponent Gaynor seldom opens his mouth without putting his foot in it. The more he talks the clearer he makes it that far from being fit to govern he is scarcely (by reason of his poor judgment and uncontrolled temper) fit to hold office of any kind Hearst, who has a genius for running free shows and drawing crowds does not keep his shouters together when it comes to the actual voting. They like to hear him abuse the other man in picturesque phrases While taking his statements with a large grain of salt. H4 is a good cam paigner but a poor candidate. Meantime Bannard forges steadily ahead, backed by the solid citizens and impressing all with his sincerity and solid qualities as an administra tor. Editor Katonah Times:— If tho enclosed clipping Is a cor rect transcript from the KaU»|i&h Times, a plain citizen ibegs leav offer his congratulations to that n paper, and t o the community it Is published If there is a need in this o today. It is for a clean and tnfl*^il press, and, as you so well erj it, \It's tima the editors who h' sense of moral responsibility g< getiier and put an end to such dealing.\ If White Plains, the county: could boast of such editorial courage and high newspaper morality, these congratulations might be ItepjT* *t home, but the Katonah Times seems to stand in a splendid isolation 11 ELMER E GARNSEY. f| Whit e Plains, Oct. 22. 1909. ea WHY HE WANTS LICENSE. Editor Katonah Times — ' 1 Regarding the results from two years of 'prohibition in Bedfori, is the story told when we have exam ined the police blotter and counted the number of arrests for drunken ness and other misdemeanors?- sanv The writer signed the petltio ^Hr a reopening of the license que^^H, not from a ,ny sense of personal fnrat nor because he wanted his taxe8[low- ered but because he thought the pre sent state of things more demoraliz ing than 'the past. It would certainly be a low estimate of the infringements of the liquor law to place them at five huadred. d*t ly in the town—something more than one hundred and fifty thousand per year. It may be argued that^these mis demeanors are all by hardened wretches, liquor sellers, but then— An equal number of temptations have been laid before these, sailers by more or less reputable citizens. Tnese may not be misdemeanors — the writer is no lawyer— but morally they seem to be quite as culpable. So Ave can multiply our OM hun dred and fifty thousand by two, mak ing a total that it would tax the vo cabulary of a \temperance\ s-peaker to characterize. \Appalling.\ will answer as a makeshift adjectlvel Nor can the Committee of Safety lie blamed for not prosecuting more cases The average jury—so far as the writer has observed—Is apt to contain two or three gentlemen, who entejrtatn grav e and silent doubts and give the defendant the benefit them.

CIVIC LEAGUERS WARNED OF TH E LIQUOR MENACJE.. To Publish Statements Offsetting the. Misrepresentation of the. Opposition. WHY HE WANTS NO LICEN8' Editor Katonah Times — I desire to take a lltle space In the columns of •your paper to briefly state my views upon the license ques tion tha t comes up for the voter* In this town to settle at the ballot box. Opinions will always differ on matters of manners and morals so it is a waste of tim e to dwell on that point, sufficient to say that with an experience of more than a third of a century in the affairs of this world in which I have come into contact with all classes of men, with their- di versified Interest*. I am fully per suaded that the saloon as an insti tution must go if we would safe guard the good institutions of this fair land of ours. Whe n I say the saloon, I include every place all over the country where liquor Is sold as a boverage. The late Henry W. Grady In his im mortal \Warehouse \ speech at At lanta. Ga , truly said \It (the liquor traffic) defies the law when It can not ccerce suffrage'\ and thus It is, from not only the moral, but the ec onomic side of the question, the ar gument Is overwhelmingly in favor of no license and no sale of liquor as a beverage We ought to make it so unpopular to buy a drink of alcoholicc liquor that everybody would be ashamed to go where It is sold, and theih the seller will go Into some other and better business. Voters, speed the day with your •ballot. HENRY W. KELLOGG A spirited meeting of the Civic League was held at the Methodist Church. Bedford Station, on .Monday evening, last, a number of delegations of members from Katonah, Bedford and Mt. Klsco being present The presiding officer, Mc. James Wood, called attention to the need of active work for this week to qff- set the energetic efforts <xl the ene mies of no-llcense in spreading broad cast circulars full of misrepresenta tion and mlstatement of facts, and statements calculated to mislead and influence the minds of casual readers. He warned the members that unless this growing evil of tte Illegal sel ling of liquor and its attendant dis orders was checked, Its effect would result disastrously to business and property Interests In this neighbor hood and the county. Reports of members who had can vassed the several districts, repre sented conditions favorable to no-ll cense and all wer e urged to work dili gently In securing votes on Election, Day. It was arranged to prepare and to publish In the several newspapers of this locality a statement of conditions affecting the liquor question in the communities In the League's field of operation. • Vote for WILLIAM A.

WESTCHESTER REGISTRATION The returns show that the regis tration In Westchester county has fallen off between 1.200 and 1,300 since last year. This showing Is very satisfactory to the Republican leaders since 1908 was a presidential year, while tills year the highest officer running (except supreme court Jus- ,tlce, who has been endorsed by both parties) is sheriff The net loss in Yonkers, Mount Vernon.

Bedford has a uniformed Rural Po- i lice, the first in the County and the best in the County. The law under which they were appointed originated with Supervisor E. P. Barrett. It is not possible to overestimate the good done the Town' by the appoint ment of this Police force. Vote un der the Eagle and approve the po lice force as a branch of our Town government. For justices of the Peace vote for ROBT. K. CLARK A G. H . MILLS. They have been tried arid not found wanting. They have voted in the Town Board for our spendid road system. They helped in the organiza tion of the police fores in the Town. They are not strangers in the com munity. They come of old Bedford families. Were born here and have lived here alt their lives. A vote un der the Eagle is a vote for these two competent officers. PURSUANT TO AN ORDER of Her Frank V.
