''Since the death of Tom Reed, nothing
but good is being said of him, which is
all right enough, But, after all, Tom
Reed was not an admirable character.
We all admired the 'iogar," but he
possessed many disagreeable traits. He
was not the big, broad open hearted
man he ought to have been, considering
his intellect. He was all intellect and
had but little heart. He was apt to
sulk and refuse to play unless he could
have 1t all his own way. He resigned
in huff, from the speakership. He
did not like Mckinley because he wa,
nominated for the presidency when
Reed was candidate. He was ungra.
oious, unaharitable, sarcastic icouoc
lastic. Reed was an intellect ual man
but not an admirable man. He preferred
hurting another's feelings TO doing him
a kindness. He never entered the
White house but once while Harrison
was president. and but three times
while Mckinley was in Office. The
sole reason was some imaginary
slight. We do not consider that kind
OF q man very great man nor
a very useful man. At any rate,
he could have been so much mora
useful II he had not been so pettish
These things and true, although it may
be in bad taste to speak Of thelu."

THERE used to be custom In ancient
times of criticising leading men or rul-
ers, after their death, which had a
wholesome influence on them in life,
and which II followed in our day would
at least do no harm, and might in some
cases be productive of considerable
amount Of good. In these days how
ever 1t Is the custom to be blind to the
virtues, and argus eyed to the faults Of
our species during life, and to follow
the opposite course after death, and
extol those whom we had no good word
for inlife. It's refreshing to see or hear
the words of of man who has suffi
cient originality about him, backed by

In is only after having tried to serve
the public, and please everybody that
a person becomes fully conscious of
the wisdom Of the scriptual statement
THAT no man can serve two masters. "
The scripture in following the matter
up says in effect that the unfortunate
man will either hate the one or the
other OF his masters, this Is not exactly
the way 1t effects us, the hating, (per-
haps that is too strong language) come
in on the other side of the proposition,
in our case 1t is the mrsters who get
out Of sorts with the servant. when he
tries to serve them all. We long since
learned that 1t was an impossibility to
please everybody, but like the perpet-
ual motion crank, we are every now
and again fascinated by the thought OF
what fine thing it it would be il
it could be done, and And ourselves
trying again at the old task, 1t is the
aim of THE RECORD to treat all people
right as far as we are able, and when
we fail in this it is owing to our inabil-
lty, and not to our lack Of inclination.
1t must be understood however that we
do not profess to be running the paper
on the principle of Turning
the other cheek" we only claim to be
mortal, and subject to mortal weakness
and we naturally feel more interest in
those who help us by their patronage,
than we do in those who do not. And
we must confess that the more our
friends do for US the more we feel like
doing for them, and the more we will
do II we can. On the other hand we dc
not consider that those who do moi
help us are our enemies, and II we had
help to spare after helping our friends
all they required, we should be qnitC
willing to help those who do not help
us, but we consider that our duty /,

THEY have water matters on soien-
tifio basis in SEWER County, 1t made us
almost turn green With envy to read
the report of the water commissioner
of that country as published in the
Reaper. You Gan read there state
ment Of all the water that has been
used during the irrigation eeasop of
1909 from what source 1t has been taken
and to what company or com blnatiop 1t
has been distributed. IT appears from the
report that the irrigators of that sec,
ton have used during the period repor-
ted, one billion, sevea hundred and
thirty nine million, and seven hundred
thousand second feet of water, and OF
this quantity twenty eight million
seven hundred and twsnty thousand
second feet, has been drawn from their
Otter Greek Reservoir. We are not
familiar with the situation there, as
regards the wator supply, but IT APP
pears reasonable TO suppose that the
most OF the water that they get from
the reservoir would be wasted if it were
not for that improvement, as it would
doubtless come down AZ a time when
they had plenty of water from other
sources. 1T is greatly to be regretted
that we cannot unite our water inter
ests. and 60 to work unitedly to save
this most important of all sources Oh
wealth, There can be no doubt that
our water shed furnishes sufficient
water to nearly double the service that
we get from it IL we would only COM
bine to put it to the best possible use,
