POUNCED
Onto the Water
Question.
Walker Cant Keep
Quiet" Any Longer.
Declares Time Has Come
For Relief,
When Water Knocks Out Iron
Boilers.

"I can't keep quiet on this water
question any longer" began Mr..
Walker at Council meeting Monday
evening.
"The water we drink Is something
terrible. It is SO bad that it has
wrought great damage to the paper
sack industry of the Thomas Phillips
Co., and an expert chemist has report
ed that where city water is used for
making steam the boilers are steadily
being ruined. Now want to ask how
long our stomachs can hold out against
water that is steadily running iron
boilers? Think Of these things! If
the water Injuries the paper business
Of the Thomas Phillips Co. to the ex-
tent that it starts a suit for $4,000
damages, what will 1t do to us? Well
be laughed at-and jeered very justly
too-if we endure this thing any long
er. Surely the citizens of Akron are
stupid enough to continue drinking
water which knocks out iron boilers,
and makes materials manufactured
with it unfit for market MY well
was condemned simply to make me
use city water. The Water Works Co.
is obliged by contract to furnish us
pure water-and, gentlemen Of the
Council, look-they're giving us an arti-
Gle wholly unfit for use"
Mr.. Gauthier said that the odor of
the city water reminded him of moist
gum boots on warm day. He agreed
with Mr.. Walker that something
should be done to obtain relief
Mr.. Foster likewise was In the ring
against the water question. He said
it was high time for citizens to take
steps for relief from an article which
ruined paper sacks and iron boilers.
President Koons said that Council
didn't need to worry over the matter,
as the Board of Health was doing all
1t could to procure better water.
The company has stated that it will
soon be furnishing water from wells
and expects to secure only about one.
third Of the supply from the lake
The Health Board expects to call a
special meeting to consider lette,
sent to 1t by the Water Works Co., in
which promise was given that the wa
ter service would be improved within
a very few days. The company ad
mitted that the lake water was now
in bad condition.

they wildly leap;

they wildly leap;
Skies today are fair and blue, smiling
e'er our heads,
Stars at night peep forth as gems
from their azure beds.
On the morrow threatening clouds
loose the tempest's breath
AS we drift adown the stream to the
port of Death.
Drifting, drifting with the tide down
the stream of life,
Some days cloudless and serene, 9th
ers rent with strife;
Often song and laughter blend as we
float along,
Then the moaning notes of pain drown
the notes Of song;
Storm and sunshine, gale and calm
thus the story goes,
Pleasures cheer us for day but to
end in woes.
Sorrow blights the flowers Of joy with
its whitening breath
AS we drift adown the stream to the
port Of Death.
When we sight the harbor lights OF
the port below,
Some will welcome them with joy
some with trembling woe;
Some will see a haven of rest, free
from sigh or tear,
Some will gaze into the past thrilled
with nameless fear;
Visions of a misspent life, broker
laws of God
Will before full many rise DER the
path they've trod.
Others will review their lives as g
pleasant dream,
AS we near the beacon lights twink
ling down the stream.

lawlessness and admits that ut is
hard to see how the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, or any other officer
of the government can hold up
Federal statute" Then, swift
as ever to apologize for its lapse into
an expression of independence In re-
gard to the predatory horde from
whence it derives its support, the Sun
adds: what is of more Importance,
however. is tnat Congress should I'M
mediately repeal the obnoxious clauses
of the internal revenue law without
waiting for the general repeal of all
the war taxes, and should also pass
an act exempting from all pecuniary
liability those who have unwittingly
violated the law in the past. This Is
the only way in which the matter can
be finally and definitely settled"
"Unwittinely violated the law" is
good considering who the violators
are. Why they claim to be the wit
tiest men alive; In fact they live by
their wits, and at a pretty good rate,
too. The Suns proposition Is that a
law obnoxious TO them shall no longer
s.and, and that another law shall be
passed giving them immunity from the
penalties for their past violation of the
present law. Why not make the i'm
munity general? why confne it to a
particular class? Nothing would
empty our prisons quicker or give
greater JOY to their inmates, than to
make 1t general.
1t all reaches this point, at the end.
DO we have a privileged class among
MS? A class which for year and a
half may go on openly violating Il law,
and then, when an attempt is made
to execute il, that class may call upon
the Attorney General of the United
States to disclaim all knowledge Of
the duties of his office and all present
intention of performing them, and
may stgmatize its government as a
crowd and threaten it with the
vengeance of its own courts, and may
"send for the revenue officers of that
government and instruct them not to
enforce the law, as against the class
in question, and may call upon Con
gress to give them legal indemnity
against the consequences of their
past disobedience of the law, and
thus let them out of liability on ac-
count of the want of validity of con-
tracts entered into with this infirmity
upon them-all this Is not only posi-
bic, IL Is the actual state of affairs in
