To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: a walk through SeveEteenth-st east from

Through the middle of this narrow street runs a
horse railroad On side is lying a row or
huge waterpipes. on the other is an open trench
in which pipes viii some time or other be
buried. On the sidewalk the stones and the
earth taken from the trench. How much space IS
left for the ordinary traffic Of the street can be
imagined.
Every work day few come and work
eight hours toward the relief of this state Of
things. and then go away. and for sixteen hours
not a stroke Of work is done Why this gang Of
men should not be followed by another for eight
hours. and this by third. thus making the work
continuous. but politician tell With
such wages those paid by the city there would
be hardship III requiring the in
during a portion OF the night. and the public
inconvenience would be 1e1uced one-third OF
what il is. Besides. the work could be car
ried on in the night with much less interruption
from traffic
If Mr.. Lows administration should add to all
the other blessings We expect from IL this re-
ducing by two-thirds the time during which any
opening Of street shall be allowed TO continue

much to the comfort Of citizens and the de-

CrOwley's Troubles.

The town of Crowley is having
considerable trouble with its cleo
trio light and waterworks plant, as
will be seen by the following from
the News:
s.The notice of the sale of the
municipal electric light and water
works plant by the sheriff appears
in the Rice Belt News tomorrow.
The sale is to take place November
23. 1t is possible that Sheriff Muir
rel will close the plant down pending
the sale.
"The plant in question has cost
the town of Crowley many thous-
ands of dollars, and much more is
yet due on it. The debt for which
it is about to be sold is but a frac-
t,onal part of it's cost, and repre-
sents only about one-tenth of the
sum of present Indebtedness of the
town on it's account.
eff the plant is sold for this
Judgment there will remain yet a
debt of $40, 900 or more which the
tax payers must pay. This debt is
against the municipality ard the
sale of the plant will not affect it a
particle.
..The management of the power
plant has been such series Of Off
cial blunders that the News warns
the tax payers of the municipality
to keep their eyes open in this mat
ter and understand the steps that
are taken.
stThe News has the interest Of
the people at heart and will watch
matters Notwithstanding events
without fear or favor.
"To reporter Mayor Campbell
stated it as his belief that the bonds
men intended to allow the plant to
be sold. What do our taxpayers
think about letting it 60 to sale
for few thousand. allowing pri
vate company to acquire it and then
have the municipality start to pay
ing for its water plugs and street
lights, as we'll as pay off the bonds
and the present floating indebted
ness?
1.-THE News is not likely TO be on
the inside of any such plan as this
but it is not outside of the bonds
Of possibility. The mayor and al
dermen declare themselves power
less, the bondsmen don't care, and
the end seems approaching rapidly" "

The much discussed question as
TO what is the proper uame of the
presidents official home has been
passed upon by the new president,
who declares for the familiar term,
the White House, in preference to
the Executive Mansion, which in
late years has been accepted as the
proper designation, says the Wash
ington Post. The stationery or
dered for future use will be thus
engraved and all correspondence
with the presidential family should
be so addressed. AS each State has
it's s.executive mansion,' the special
name commonly applied to the
presidents home naturally appeals
to most persons as being not only
correct, but most appropriate. At
one period of the nations history
the official designation was the Pres
ident's House, which is engraved on
much of the silver plate now in use
there. Little addition has been
made in linen, china or silver in
the past five years, SO that the
necessary furnishing to be selected
by Mrs. Roosevelt will be marked.

Representative Weilep, a Kan
sas legislator, is probably the only
man in the world who has been al
lowed by a court of inquiry to
testify regarding what he SAID to
himself" says the Green Bag. ''In
1895 a committee was appointed by
the Kansas Legislature to investi-
gate the alleged bribery of certain
members in connection with a de-
feated railroad bill. Mr.. Weilep
was the first witness called by the
prosecution. In the course of his
testimony he told of seeing Repre-
sentative NJ late one night
coming down hotel stairs. 4
said to myself continued Weilep,
but a member of the defense had
jumped to his feet. Hold on? he
shouted; you can't testify about
what you said to yourselfH The
prosecutor retorted holly that there
was no law to prohibit Mr. WeileP
from SO testifyIng. Both serious
and ludicrous was the argument
that ensued. A majority of the
committee finally concurred in the
chairman's decision that the witness
had a right to tell what he said to
himself. Il said to myself Sc
riously proceeded WeileP, *that
NJ had been up to Billy Car
ter's room to get his pay The
testimony was recorded and made
a part of the official record of the
