The Water Question.

AN adequate and convenient supply of
water to this city is matter of impor-
lance to our citizens. The proposition of
responsible company with ample means
to build the necessary works and lay the
pipe through all the principal streets,
should receive fair and candid considera.
ton 1t is a matter which rises above all
individual and partizan preiudices and has
to do with the health. comfort, and safety
of our homes and firesides. Precisely
what arrangements our city govern
ment should make with the Water
Company as to the number of
the hydrants and the price that should
be paid for them, We cannot say. We
only ask that all responsible propositions
on the subject from responsible sources,
shall receive careful and impartial con-
sideration. We are safe in assuming that
the city government knows how to safe
guard the interests of Augusta We be-
lieve that the enterprsing gentlemen who
propose TO furnish the means for an ample
supply of water to Augusta and Hallow-
ell. will be ready to submit to the most
careful scrutiny of their proposed I'M
dertaking. 1t is fair to presume
that they will seek to base their
enterprise on q solid and enduring
financial basis. There can be no reason
.b,e fears that our city officials will no
saek to make the most economical and
.afo contract with the company, and it is
for the permanent ~ OF the company

to give our citizens the most ample guaran-
tees for the supply of water at economical
prices. The enterprise can be pushed to
completion and success only by fair play.
open and frank discussion, without
prejudice, and with full confidence on
both sides that safe and proper solution
can be reached.

A Public Benefaction.

How to laundry linen as it is done in Troy,
N Y, has been kept secret long enough ;
it can and should be done in every family.
The Electric Starch is the only starch in the
United States that is put up by men who
have a practical knowledge of the laundry
profession. 1t requires no cooking, keeps the
iron from sticking and linen from blistering
while ironing, and gives shirts, cuffs and
collars that stiffness and beautiful polish they
have when new, which, everybody knows
keeps them clean twice as long. Beware of
imitation. See that the name J. c. HUBIN-

1t is said that Secretary Bayard has es-
sentially modified his views on the fishing
question within week, and that he is in
full accord with Senator Frye on one
ground. They hold that under the treaty
of 1918. the fishermen, by taking out trad
ing permits and registering can enter the
Canadian ports in spite OF the recent order
closing them. Then if a seizure is made
the United States will be fully justified in
demanding and obtaining the fullest re-
dress for the injury and Insult offered to
our flag and the property under it. But
the course of the secretary has already
been very damaging to the fishermen. who
have not known what to do, on account OF
his evasive, vacillating and conflicting
opinions regarding their rights in Canadi-
an ports.
