THIS rs NOT POLITIOS--ITS ONLY
COMMON SENSE.

Is there any person living upon
any street that is visited by the noe
turnsl street sweeper that will not
unhesitatingly pronounce it an un-
mitigsted nuisance? Every window
upon such street must be kept closed
and sealed during the hottest nights
of the season, or the house will be
literally filed with the filthy dust of
the street.
If our cities owned their water
works, as they ought to do, they might
afford to avail themselves of system
of street cleaning that would be con-
ducive to both the health and comfort
of their citizens; but what Is the
health and comfort of citizens COM
pared with the glorious privilege Of
being robbed by corporations to pay
dividends to nonresident bloodsuck-
ers who hold the stocks, largely lctl-
tious at that, of the companies that
grudgingly dole out limited supplies
of water to the people?
City ownership of waterWorks
would not do. That would be pater-
nslism; and SO the people suffer from
the intolerable, disease-infected dust
of the street and delight in paying
the water companies four prices for
the limited use they are permitted to
make of the water supply. How long,
Oh Lord! how long before people will
have sufficient interest in their own
welfare to inject little grain of plain
common sense into public affairs?
