Not less than three or four deals for improvements in this city during the coming year are now under way and will be ready for announcement within a few days. It is likely that the coming summer will be as busy as was the last one. The finance committee of the firemen and business men will meet this evening to plan for raising the funds. " hen they start out they should be greeted with respect for they are working for your interests, not only in giving this convention which brings a big crowd here, but all the time. The volunteer firemen are the fellows who protect your homes and your business houses, at the risk of their own health and for small pay. If they want this convention, that s enough for tae average fellow. Be liberal. It has been charged that the pending dental bill was intended as a blow at advertising dentists. This is a mistake as any one can see by reading the bill. A man may advertise as much as he pleases, provided he meets the conditions of the bill, which are not onerous. In order to get a license the applicant must, indeed, present a diplonia from a dental college recosni”-' ed by the National Association of Dental Faculties. And this is as it should , he. For dentistry today is a proi'esixit.iv lXl“vilaliit b. 1 Lilis bill .-ecognizes it as such. The purpose is to exclude men who are not competent to practice the profession, and so to protect the public from them. There is no reason why any advertising dentist, provided he be a real dentist, should oppose the measure.—lndianapolis News. At the democratic state editorial meeting last week Tom Taggart was one of me speakers at the banquet, and there, in the presence of Senators Kern and Shively, and democratic editors from all over the state, he stated that he was not a candidate i for any office and would not be. Thus the opposition press is deprived of a subject for long and windy news items and editorials, for the space fillers and the editorial writers on republican papers in this state have always been able to spin a political yarn about, Tom Taggart when there was a lull in politcal Uncles. And even in the face of Mr. Taggart s positive declaration, it is very doubtful if the space fillers ! and the editorial writers, will accept his statements. When the time ap-! preaches for the election of a successor to Senator Shively the odds are about 100 to 1 that these "old women politicians will-be at It again and will have Taggart in the race, his statement to the contrary nithwithstanding.—Columbia City Poet.
