Every dollar he has expended on our streets shows for itself and where he has worked the etfects will be seen for many years. It pays to do work well even if so much ground is not covered. The amount of mon ey which our borough authorities can spend on the streets, is limited, hut they have certainly made the most of it, thanks to the intelligent work of Mr. Hassin. Ex-Representative Driggs, who has just been indicted for taking pay from a concern whose goods he pur suaded the Postottice Department to buy, while he was a member of Con gress, is a Democrat. He is one of the worthies the republicans turned out of ofllce several years ago. The German people were so fright ened by the announcement of the Kaiser that those who voted for the Social Democrat candidates would have him "to deal with"Jthat they elected more Social Democrats than ever before.
