PHOENIX. OCTOBER p. 1899.

That the board of trade was not pre-
mature in calling a mass meeting of
citizens to take action
COUNCIL on the question of mu-
SHOWS nicipal ownership of a
ITS HAND water works and sew
erage plant was shown
last night by the attitude of the city
council. The majority of that body
gives every indication of an intention to
tie the city to the water company for
forty years.
Very scant courtesy was shown the
committee of citizens who called to
voice the wishes of the taxpayers
Councilman Fickas tried to raise
some objections on the score of the
cost of the proposed improvements, and
when the committee informed him that
the citizens by their votes would decide
whether they wanted to spend 5000, 900
for water works and $4,000 for sewers,
he said the councilmen were not a set
of children to do just what they were
told to do, and that they had ideas of
their own.
The city attorney appeared to be
very anxious to find some way to
block the wishes of the people and
raised several ridiculous objections
which were easily overthrown.
Councilman Morford said the council
had decided some months ago to post
pcne action on the water question I'M
til November 1. and that it would
be acting in bad faith to bring it up
before that date
Will Mr.. Morford kindly tell US who
were the parties to this agreement?
Certainly the taxpayers had nothing to
do with it. If they had they would
know something about it. Was it the
water company? If SO, will Mr.. Nor
ford tell US whether he is acting as an
agent for the water company or as a
servant of the people?
The citizens of Phoenix can rest as
sured that three members of the city
council-Ganz, Fickas and Morford-
will do all in their power to sell the city
out to the water company
The citizens of Phoenix will not al
low the council to sell them out and
if the wishes of the citizens are not
regarded it is not unlikely that the
designations of three members of the
council will be demanded in no I'M
certain manner.
The actions of the city council
clearly show that the majority viii not
grant the prayer of the taxpayers IN
less compelled to do so.

While the Beers have displayed great
bravery in their recent encounters with
the British their boast

DOOMED. purely imaginative In
the face of the destruc-
tive fire of the British artillery their
organization has invariably gone to
pieces. By virtue of numbers they
have wrought much damage to their
foes but it must be plain to the world
that as soon as the British are rein
forced by a few thousand troops the
Beers will be sent flying northward.
IL the Beers ever had the power of at
tack their operations in this war have
not revealed it, and they unquestion-
ably have lost the talent for defense.
Their boosted craftsmanship is a de-
parted tradition, they cannot use the
modern artillery they have bought
with Outlander money: they cannot
command the synchronous precision of
large field strategy, and, above all.
they cannot stand before the British
charge.
The Beers chose the ground for the
Glencoe battle and fought it on their
own terms. Not for d moment was the
British position in peril from their ar
tilIery fire, and their rifles did execu-
ton on the steady lines that swept up
to them, after the scientific precision
of British ordnance had siIenced their
guns, only in the supreme moment
when calculated daring deliberately
pays the price of blood for victory.
British troops fell as American troops

sary to do in an hour what might have
been done in a week without loss.

MADE HER FATHER GOVERNOR

Mr.. Young and some friends had been
discussing the political outlook in Ken
lucky at Mr.. Young's house in LOUIS
Vile one night, just Oh the eve of. the
democratic state convention, several
years ago. When the party broke UP
Mr.. Young's daughter, then about -
years old, now married, who had been
an interested listener during the dis
cussion, spoke up;
why don't you run For governor
pa?"
why my child, they would never
think of me for that Office No one
cares enough about me for that"
"But, pa. would you accept the nom
nation if it were offered you?"
why, of course I would; nobody
would refuse the honor
Miss Young said no more at the time,
but quietly slipped out of the house
and started in the direction Of the
Courier-Journal office, Colonel Henry
Watterson being an intimate friend Of
the family It happened that she met
the veteran editor in the street.
"Ah. Uncle Henry, will you do me q
favor?" the young woman asked, 1n-
pulsiyeIy.
Anything in the world that I can do
I will"
We'll 7 want pa to be governor OF
Kentucky, and tan you get him the
nomination.
Colonel Watterson turned back to the
office and sat down and wrote a splf-
tied editorial. demanding in the IN
terests of the democratic party mat
John Brown Young be nominated pX
the convention, soon to meet. The re
suit was in accordance with the noted
