Every man has a right 10 take a
paper or stop it, for any reason or
for no reason at all. It's a free coun-
try in that respect. But at the same
time there is certain responsibility
attaching to all actions, even to so
trivial one as stopping a paper be-
cause the editor says something one
does not agree with. There is COM
plant that newspaper editors lack
fearlessness and honesty; that news
papers are too generally mere parti-
san organs that disregard the claims
of truth and justice when political in
terests are at stake. There is too
much truth in the charge; but let us
ask how il is possible for fearless,
honest, outspoken journal to live, for
every man to cry, "Stop my paper"
when he reads something that does
not accord with his views. The men
who insist that the paper they read
shall never say anything contrary to
their views are the ones who are in a
large measure responsible for the
craven cowardliness and the weatherS
cock propensities of modern journals
ism. One or two things is absolute
ly necessary. Either paper must
be namby-pamby sheet that has no
opinion whatever about important
events, or else its readers must make
up their minds that a difference Of
opinion is not sufficient reason for
stopping the paper. II all the read
ers insist upon it that everything said
must accord with their views, then
the editor must say nothing except
on the one subject on which they all
agree, and the public must be left
for light on current events to bitter
partisan papers. In a community
composed entirely of these "stop my
paper" people, true independent
journalism would be an impossibility.
When convinced that a paper is dis
honest and deceitful, stop it. When
convinced that it is unclean, stop it..
When it likes enterprise and fails
to give you the news, stop it. When
some other paper gives you more of
value, stop 1t. But don't stop a
paper that you believe to be honest,
courageous, enterprisiug and clean,
simply because its editor has written
his own sincere views instead of
yours or somebody's else; for if you
do, you are putting premium on in
sincere journalism and serving notice
on an editor that the way to succeed
is to write what he thinks will best
please his readers. instead of what
he honestly believes to be the truth. "

Have you paid your .ub.erIp.Ionf
NtRbtin June.


When first we met I'll ne'er forget
Twas in the month of june,
The dew CLEANED on the violet
Beneath the watchful moon:
While DER the world the stars un-
furled
A spaugled canopy,
And flowers in their moss-beds cufled
Were sleeping TRANQUILITY.
That night-ah, we'll l cannot tell
The bliss strangely felt
Your presence wrought DER me a
spell
That seemed my heart to melt.
So'youug and fair, my love, you were
The darlingest OF girls,
And looked an angel standing there
Light kissing all your curls.
Absent all thought, quite forgot
The beauties of the night.
The stars and moon-I wist them
not;
You were my sole delight,
About your waist my arm | placed
In loves first hour Of tryst,
Then boldly rude with conscious
haste
Your pouting lips | kissed.
The years have nown-iorever gone,
And life is in It's wane,
But love still lives undying on,
And June is here again.
The same sweet June whose tender
moon,
Is bright with chaugeless CLEAN,
As when that night with hearts atune.
We dreamed our FIRST sweet dream

SWISS WATCH SCHOOLS.
The lns.ruotion Pursued in These
Unique Institutions.

OUlNlus ilshtuUOUes
The famous Swiss watch schools
are said to be the most exacting in
dustrial institutions in the world.
Their methods, which are doubtless
the secret of their success, will be
found very curious and interesting.
In oneo of the most celebrated of these
institutions in Geneva, for example,
boy must first OF all be at least
fourteen years of age in order TO en-
ter. After being admitted, the
student is first introduced to q wood
turning lathe, and put to work at
turning tool handles. This exercise
lasts for several weeks, according to
the beginper's aptitude. This is fol-
lowed by exercises in filing and
shaping screwdrivers and small
tools. In this way he learns to make
for himself a fairly complete set Of
tools. He next undertakes to make,
large wooden pattern of a watch
from perhaps a foot In diameter, and
after learning how the frame is to
be shaped, he is given a ready-cut
one of brass of the ordinary size, In
which he Is taught to drill holes for
the wheels and screws. Throughout
this instruction the master stands
over the pupil directing him with
the greatest care. The pupil is next
taught to finish the frame so that it
will be ready to receive the wheels.
He is then instructed to make fine
tools and to become expert in ham
ding them. This completes the in
'struction in the 6rst room, and the
young matchmaker next passes to
the department where he is taught
to ct the stem winding parts and to
do fine cutting and filing by hand.
Later on he learns to make the more
complex watches, which will strike
the hour, minute, etc, and the other
delicate mechanisms for which the
Swiss are famous. Scientific Ameri-
can.

THE CIIY WATER FORKS.
A Statement OF the Condition ofthe Water
d. xuuuty

Below is the statement from the Super
intendent of the City Water Works for
the year 1894: The water works OF the
city are In fairly good condition., the
pumping machinery at the New Pump
house. and the steam pump are TN good
condition. The pumping machines at
the old Pump house is much worn, and
needs constant repairs. Some OF the
pumps at this station have been In use
since 1892 and the machinery generally
is OF old design and not as efficient as
modern style of pumps. In either low
or high stages OF the river. only about
one-half the water these pumps should
deliver can be gotten and In very hiSh
water all the wheels are stopped, ana
the old reservoir has TO be filled from
the new pumps 1t is most important
matter that the pumping machinery
should be increased and an addition
should be made at the new pump-nouse
of such capacity that the old station
could be abandoned, and the whole pump
ing machinery be consolidated. The cfty
could sell the property at the old pump
house for a sum that would go far To-
wards the additions recommended.
II this is not done, it will be necessary
to spend quite sum TO repair ana M
prove the old pumps. The only reserve
now is the steam pumps while the water
bower machinery at both stations Is
daily and nightly run TO its fullest ca
pacity.
The appropriation made. to the depart
1924 and the department has lived with
ia this amount, IL having been expend-
ed in maintenance, pipe extensions, new
house supplies. etc. Permanent improve
ment was made on the canal bank by
building concrete wall at a cost OF
1884 This was a much needed piece OF
work AT this location OIL account of the
weakness of the bank. ll,l2l lineal feet OF
pipe IVES laid for distribution and 5Oi
house supplies were made. There are
now 1900 taps. and 1850 taps in use,
there is an average daily CONSUMPTION
OF water per tap of nearly 1900 gallons.
During the year $50 water meters have
been set. all of which were purchased
by the water-takers, making the total
number Of water meters about Nn. Ii Is
most gratifying that the large majority
who are paying for water by meter meas
urement. are pleased and satised.
The complaints about this method OF
paying for water number about one per
cent. and in every instance when parties
have had high bills the cause has in
wasting pipe or fixture. The introduc-
ton even of this small number OF meter
has aided in increasing the pressure In
the city. and the pressure guage SHOWS
for the last month an increase of J..
pounds. Most Of the meters set have
had they been I'm the lower portions
| the increase pressure would have beer
much greater. The revenue derived from
this department will be above sl3), 300
which does not include the value OF
| $4,000 of water consumed by the city IL
! all her own departments and fire service
The actal cost Of maintenance and re-
pairs will be about $4,000.
II is most important that additions
| TO the pumps and mains should be made
at an early day. unless there shall be a
water meter upon everp tap.
