MORE SEWERAGE NEEDED.

Eds. STAZEIIE.-
Just at this time, as our beautiful
city is putting on her spring coat of
green, and the birds. are warbling their
lays to the revivified nature, and the
fair goddess herself is doing everything
in her power to make all things beauti-
full, it is proper and right for us to
look after the defects that art has Gre
ated, and art must rectiiy. If man
is about to be married, and goes to a
tailor for a wedding suit, he will not
order an expensive coat and pants
and say that he will make his old
ragged vest answer, because he can
not afford to buy new one, but he
will select a cheaper coat and trousers
in order that he may get new vest,
and thus make all things correspond.
So it should be with us as city. We
have a SIS 200 court house, a $4,000
college, and we are to have district
school building to cost $4,000, an
electric light plant, and numerous
other improvements, that will add
greatly to the beauty and welfare of
our city, but while we will have all
these things, is there not one thing
that we have not yet acquired that we
need more than even thesea
Our greatest writer's and philoso-
pliers have always told US, and our
poets have sung it in our ears, that
good health is to be priced above all
other earthly blessings, and I believe
that every thinking person accepts it
as an axiom. If such be the case
should we not look most carefully after
every measure that tends to procure
us this blessing2 Now, Mr.. Editors,
what l am trying to get at is this. We
have right in our midst, an evil that
is threatening cur lives and those of
our loved ones, and is growing stronger
and stronger every day, and if we do
not take it in hand and remove ii, it
will eventually remove us. We are
saluted by this evil on almost every
hand, and it appeals not only to our
eyes but to our nostrils. I refer to
our lack of proper sewerage, and the
cess-pools that are caused therefrom.
l hear you say that, "Oh, this is sub
iect that we have talked about so often,
and we. have had SO many communica-
tions about it already" That is just
as it should be. You should talk
about it, and communications should
be written about it in every issue Of
your paper, until there has been steps
taken to eradicate it. If smallpox or
yellow jack should appear in ur~city
how quick we would be to take ac
tive steps to control and wipe 1t out,
and neither labor or means would be
spared to accomplish the desired end
and yet we sit idly, with our hands
folded, while just as insidious and sure
a disease, if it is a little slower, is
