DaILy EDITION. THE ATTACK ON THE “NEWS” - Tuurspay, Nov. 2 A philosopher has pointed out the reason why a buzz of anger comes from those insect creatures that love the dark, when a rude hand rolls away the stone that hides them, and lets in the light. The psychology of the insect is the psychology of the hnman animal under similar circumstances. A great thinker once applied it to a branch the human race in a very biting sentence. For these reasons, the attack of Alderman Hilditch and the Mayor on the News was a matter of no surprise. A newspaper that lets in the light is the last thing in newspapers they want. A lickspittle soporific sheet plentifully fattened by pap from the civic purse, chanting hired praises to the aldermen would suit them bettér. The News prefers, however, to espouse the interest of the citizens. Alderman Hilditch and the Mayor are very much alarmed lest Colonel Davis may feel hurt over any criticism he may receive. But there is no word of sympathy for ¢he thirty-nine gangs of men who packed their grub up through the bush to Woodworth Lake, who spent the days in measuring up the timber and at nights riskeed the perils of sleeping out in the open, on a fool’s errand. Colonel Davis is a professicnal man and is in receipt of a goo| salary for the part he played in the comedy of ‘Letting the Contracts by Competitive Tender.” Colonel Davis is a professional man, and knows perfectly well the impropriety of acquainting himself with the bids of the contractors and station gangs before putting in his own bid. If Colonel Davis while in receipt of a salary paid by the| citizens, is willing to put professional usage behind his back and join in with Alderman Hilditch and the Mayor in their petty political schemes, Colonel Davis need not expect to find protection by lurking behind his professional position The proof that Alderman Hilditch and the Mayor intended to fool the station gangs is seen is the statement made by the Mayor ‘to its rough last night in reference to the clearing contracts And as for the City Engineer’s estimate the citizens do not forget that the City Engineer’s estimate for the retaining walls done by to be labor was $8,000.
