A Communication from Ex-Sapervi-
Sor FAIRIES.

WAUwATosA, Oct. "a.
EDITOR WAUwATosA NEWS: - Win
you ALLOW me to correct statement in
an article on County Sewerage" that
appeared in your last Saturday issue?
The statement was that the septic tank
was abandoned on account of its '.im-
perfect or incomplete construction
1t was constructed from plans and
specifications furnished by the city en-
gineer of Champaign, H., land, By the
way, the plans cost the county but $40.
Such plans were the result of his ex-
perience in handling the septic tank of
that city during a term of five years.
After its completion it was visited by
our mayor and myself several times
and seemed to be working perfectly,
the only fault we could find was that
more than half of the sewerage was
going into the north half of the tank.
This no doubt was caused by the une-
quail settling of the new grading and
could have been easily remedied.
In our city they are very strict in re
gard to what enters our sewers, not
even allowing the overflow of our ois-
terms to do so. But when the sewers
for our county buildings were laid
catch basins were made so that the
water that ran down the ravine was
turned into the sewers.
When the tank was built / called the
attention of the chairman of the town
board to the fact and asked that cul-
vert be built across the road so that the
catchbasins might be closed. He said
he told Mr. kiechefer to see to it and
charge it to the county. On account
of the lateness of the season or some
other reason this was never done, so
that when we had our heavy rains last
May mighty torrent passed into the
tank, and if it had been of imperfect
or incomplete construction" the build
ing would have been torn to pieces; as
it was, all the damage that could see
was that several of the partitions were
lifted out of the steel grooves that held
them, and | could see no reason why
the valve could not be opened, the tank
emptied and the damage repaired. In
the distributing chamber there are
two gates. Ii the one leading to the
tank had been closed and the other
opened the vast body of water would
have flowed direct to the river Dur
ing the four years that | was member
of the board there was marked I'M
willingness to do anything tor the
county sewerage, and | dared ask for
no more than enough to complete a
septic tank, knowing as did, it would
never pass the board, expecting in the
future to ask for enough to build filter
beds, and one of the last acts that |
did on the board was to introduce
resolution, which passed, TO authorize
the joint committee to advertise for
plans and specifications for filter beds,
Why the committee did not advertise
and build the beds last summer is
something others can explain, not /.
Respectfully, WIN. FARkIEs.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

1t is difficult TO find words to exp ess
the qualification felt at the successful
outcome of the presidents efforts to
end the coal strike. When lie first
preached the subject, lr. Roosevelt's
political advisers deprecated his propo-
sition They said he would accomplish
nothing and would make enemies for
himself and his party. that even if he
secured the consent of both parties to
arbitration, it would possibly fall to
him to name the arbitrators and that
he could not do without making enc
mics; he had no legal right to inter
fere, and he had better abstain from
adding to ,his responsibilities, to all
Of which Mr., Roosevelt replied that he
could not contemplate the appalling
prospect of the continuance of the
strike into the winter months. with
the terrible and widespread suffering
which must ensue, and feel that he was
doing his duty as the chosen represent
alive of the people without at least
making an effort to eliminate the
struggle.
The history of his efforts IS known,
including the tact with which lie CON
Quoted the meeting of the opponents,
the gentleness with which he received
the accusations of the railway presi-
dents, that he was not doing his duty
because he had not sent federal troops
to protect their interests, the earnest
ness with which he pursued his efforts,
even after the first conference failed,
the courage with which he insisted
that the operators permit him to add a
la Dor leader to the list of arbjtratorS
and the persuasiveress with which he
led Mitchell to accept the arbitration
commission he had selected The whole
goes to make up one of the most
creditable chapters in the history
of the present administration and
demonstrates beyond cayil the excel
lent Judgment of the President Of the
United States.
Every one seems confident that the
commission Mr., Roosevelt has selected
will ascertain the facts and adjudicate
the contentious with perfect impartial
ity. Under the ru.es which will govern
the proceedings of the arbitrator a
two-thirds vote viii be required on
every mooted question and their find
ings viii bind both miners and opera
tors for period of at least three years.
II is to be hoped much longer.
by unanimous vive voce vote the
convention of the United Mine Work
ers at WilkeSbarre, Pa, accepted Pres
ideut Roosevelt's arbitration plan
shortly before noon Tuesday. Great
cheers greeted the announcement of
the result, The resolution as adopted
carried with it declaration that the
strike was off and provided for an i'm
mediate resumption Of work in the
coal mines throughout the anthracite
region.
Thousands of men began work
Wednesday repairing the mines and
placing the collieries in condition for
the s5netal resumption of coal mining
which took place throughout the an
thracite region Thursday.
Acceptances have been received by
the Prcs;8cn. from all the members cf

None of the cunning of the political
prestidigitator for them. They want
ed an open expression against the two
mile limit law in accordance with the
understanding which has existed be-
tween the sheep men and the party
for nearly two years, that the law
would be repealed the moment the
party could secure the confidence of
the people long enough 10 get into
power. The bitterness between the
politicians and the straight forward
ones is quite intense and may devel-
ope into the extreme stage.
The most laughable part of it all
is to see the Boise Statesman gyrate
in an attempt to keep up with the
moves on the chess board 1t was
as fearful of the matter as Of a
tarantula and fabulous prize might
be offered for the evidence in the
Statesman Of any interest in the
ranchers rights until the convention
decided on the dodge-but as soon as
the string was pulled the music began.

There is very strong sentiment in
Washington in favor Of adoption of the
metric system. The British government
is about to adopt it throughout all the
colonies, and our officials realize it is
necessary for this government TO move
into line on the subject. The interests
OF trade demand that we shall have a
uniform system Of weights and measures
throughout the world, while, in the in
terest OF simplicity and convenience, the
reform is needed at home. Heretofore
congress has declined to take the mat
ter up seriously, but it is probable that
the growing public sentiment will soon
force it to act.
The Boise Statesman speaks well,
and if Great Britain is about to
adopt it throughout her colonies then
we should follow suil We have
adopted the English financial policy,
we have adopted her colonial policy.
we have adopted her world power
ideas and her mllitarism, and we
might as well follow her in this. 1t
would be discourteous to ask the
British government and other
countries to adopt our system in the
interest of the god Trade-by the
way, that makes US think that this
nation is not the god-ordained leader
the world-power fellows claim, if we
must do the following

DISSENSiON OVER DECOY.

There was bitter fight in the re-
publican convention over the sheer
question. The sharp politicians
knew that it was hopeless fight fol
the ticket named unless the. Idaho
farmer could be made to believe the
party was not against him.
They knew the Idaho rancher was
up in arms at the republican pro-
posal to repeal the two mile limit
law enacted by the democrats for the
protection of said rancher, and,
knowing the democrats intended to
maintain that law as long as they
were in control, they urged that the
rancher and cattleman we're well ac-
quainted with the democratic posi-
ton, and unless the party at least
made professions of standing up for
them 1T would walk into an open
grave when it went out Of the con-
ventlon hall. The sheep man is not
much given to deception; if he has
consideration for you, you know he
will go around and leave you grass
enough for the milk cows. but II be
wants it all he will tell you so fiat
footed and proceed to carry it out.
SO in the convention the sheep inter.
ests did not believe in any deception
or faced business and they re-
fused to recognize the wink given by
the shrewd platform professionals.
NO beating about the bush for
wanted bleating about
the bush. They wanted no false
colors, they wanted the party to
stand on its real sentiments, tell
The people what to expect and then
hammer it through by main force.

five times over, and on full valuation
each time, as we understand it.
This is naturally prohibitory meas
ure, as the Catholic schools could
not stand under such a process.
This law has not been enforced and
the schools have been conducted
by the nuns all along without the
authorization to be secured only by
the payment Of this tax. The anti
catholic pressure has taken advantage
OF these conditions and the old law
is beng called up. The Catholic
schools are determined to run as
they have been, they refuse to pay
the extOrtionate fees necessary to
secure authorization and the officials
are expelling the nuns and closing
the schools The peasantry want
the schools to run and the riots are
the result of the ever present condi-
ton of all official minority walking
over the mass-najority. The people
are "rioting" in defence OF the nuns
and the schools and in many cases
the expelling agents of the govern
ment have been beaten off and the
schools kept open. While large
numbers of the public schools are
poorly attended, the governments
educational provisions are not suffi.
Gent to accommodate all the children
OF France with these Catholic schools
closed, and in Paris alone there
would be over 80, 900 children with !
out school facilities. The regrettable
condition is apparently the product
OF spirit that is found everywhere.
even in this country, and which
breaks out In various forms. $500
schools have already been closed.
5000 teachers and $50, 900 children
turned out of doors. France licenses
the abandoned woman and expels
the sister of charity!

Columbia, one Of the poor little
revolution torn republics OF South
America, has had the misfortune to
get It's foot into an international
complication. There is nothing
worse than the international compli
cation. 1t is death on republics.
The Beers and the Philippines are
late victims of the i. c., and it would
not be surprising if the British lion,
fresh from bloody feast in Africa,
with feroclty unappeased, concluded
to make Columbia part of British
soil. The modern spirit Of Greed
and Gain is tending toward placing
the World under the five uations of
England, Germany, France, Russia
and World Power America.
