ured in votes Steunenbergism is a
fatal heresy, and even the shallow
est demagogue who has self inter
est at stake realizes this fact. The
politicians are wholesomely afraid
Of the voters. 1t would be we'll if
certain papers were refrained by
the sentiment Of the people at
large. These administration or
gans override public sentiment
while they fatten on Doodle. We
hear the clatter Of. the empty ad.
ministration political machine; but
there are no ballots to feed the
wasting power; nothing but the
empty husks of promises. Even
the democratic politicians who
hope for votes, keep out of the
very noise and dust Of the admin.
istration threshing machine.

The state administration did get
one niggardly endorsement from
the county convention of S,eunen-
berg's own county, Canyon. In
Kootenai there was not single
friend OF the governor in the tri-
umvirate convention. In Latah
county, when the confusionists as
sembled, Joe Vincent was the only
Steunenberger present, and he was
silent, if he did not deny his lord
like one of old. The fat permit
man. however, has papers to sup
port him. He has appointees who
are steadfast. The combination
makes a formidable pot-licking
pack, and it bowls along the desert
political plain. But the possible
candidate who hopes for votes re-
Trains from endorsement of the
present state administration. Meas

FOR PRESIDENT
WILLIAM MCKINLEY. Of Ohio
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT
THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Of New York

The principle Of law that mu !.
nicipal franchise Is perpetual
mutual contract between the peo-
pie and the holder of the franchise
is we'll established. The violation
OF the specific or implied terms of
that contract forfeits the rights
Of the defaulting party. In the
case of our city water company
the franchise contract grants the
use of the streets for pipes and
pledges the payment Of certain
sums for the public use of water.
On the other hand the contract
requires the company to furnish
that water under certain pressure
and to furnish water for private
use to all residents of the city
upon the payment of certain tolls.
The failure of the company to sup
ply the fire hydrants with water
and maintain the specified press
ure, or the failure to supply the
residents with water for private
use upon demand and payment
therefor, would forfeit this fran
chise. There is we'll founded be-
lief that the water pressure in the
city is below the legal limit during
some portion of every day. 1t is
also contended that owners Of city
property are unable to secure wa
ter for culinary and irrigation pur-
pose. These uses OF water are
recognized as being legal and com
ing under the presidents of the
court ruling. Now, it is a Tact
that the city has contract with
the present water company which
is generally recognized as a bad
bargain. IF the conditions cited
work a forfeiture of this franchise;
and the franchise is menace to
the city's progress, it devolves
upon the present council to redeem
the city from the burden Of bad
bargain. The present council, il
the common report is true, is in
duty bound to declare this fran
chise forfeited, at least to the ex-
tent of release from the contract
TO pay an exorbitant sum for the
piblic use of water.
