the water. The carpenter en- gineer
watched them swell with bulging
eyes. H had never seen metal act
that way before, and surely the ma
chinery was all iron or steel, for of
those two metals all machinery was
made. Any fool knew that.
Grew Like Mushrooms.
But the pinions grew and grew
like mushrooms in the night. The
deadly oil had done it's work and
nothing could stop the mischief.
The machinery came to a stop last
Sunday and the citys wells went out
of business. The dirty Glover creek
water alone slushed down the city's
pipes and had things all it's own way.
Monday the lone engineer at the
pumps swOre blue steaks at the car
penters, but cussing did no good. The
pinions of rawhide had been ruined
and must have substitutes.
Of course the men of the hammer
and plane cussed back. They said
that the blankety-blank old ma
chinery was no good anyhow and
that nobody ever before heard of
machinery that wasn't built out of
iron or steel. The city had suffered
from a rawhide bunko and must
drink Glover creek water for penalty.
All the while precious good care
was taken by the city officials to keep
the facts from getting out. They did
not want such scandal, on top of
the other scandals which have been
developing thick and fast since the
Wright administration took hold.
But the citys guardians did not
keep all tongues silent. One of them
quietly tipped off the situation to The
Times, at the risk of his job, feeling
that the people ought to know the
facts.
PiniOns Cost just $500.
The cost of the ruined pinions is
$500. New ones have been ordered
from the East, and while waiting for

Water Supply From South Tacoma
Cut Off by a Carpenter Who
Was Trying to Act as
Engineer

Mayor Wright's city administra-
ton is conducted upon the principle
of grabbing all the spoils in sight.
Out at South Tacoma the spoils
Included three jobs in the city's new
pumping station at the wells.
Two carpenters recently needed
places, also an engineer. They were
assigned to the pumping station.
The fact that there were plenty of
competent Democrats who were en-
gineers didn't cut any ice. The DEM
ocratie politicians running the city
government had friends to take care
Of.
The fact that the carpenters knew
nothing about pumping machinery
cut no figure in the arrangement.
Each wanted work, and, as one Of
them naiVely informed a Times re-
porter, He guessed he could learn. -
The three were given an eight
hour shift apiece and the city's valu-
able pumps turned over to them.
Carpenters Looked Wise.
The engineer got along all right
from the start. He understood his
job. With the carpenters, however,
it was different. They looked wisely
at the revolving wheels and the mys-
terious parts that whirred and
watched them go round and round.
Finally one of them, in the dark and
silent watches of the night, feeling
that he ought to do something to
earn his salary, picked up the en-
gineer's oil can. "Those machines
need oilin he soliloquized. Then
he began pouring oil on the COM
pressed rawhide pinions, parts made
especially durable and noiseless, as
long as they were let alone.
The oil sank into the pinions and
they began to swell like sponges in

them to arrive some makeshift pin
ions of bronze were put into position
and the pumps started up, but last
night the incompetents broke some
thing and again put the plant out of
business. 1t is not running today.
Rawhide pinions are the most ex-
pensive as well as the best contriv-
ances of the kind ever invented, and
will last long time with intelligent
use. In the hands of a bungler with
an oil can they can be softened and
easily destroyed within few days.
The three employees at the pump
ing station in South Tacoma are
named Miller, Simons and McClel-
land.
They refuse to divulge the name Of
the one man among them who did
the deed with the oil can.
The city is protected from $500
loss on the ruined pinions because of
an agreement with Contractor Nc
Connie, who built the wells, and who
agreed to keep them in running or
der for one year.
But the city loses the use of the

PARKER BREAKS HIS PROLONGED
SILENCE IN ACCEPT TANCE SPEECH
DECLARES AGAINST SECOND Term

erty in Colorado by dynamiters, and
expressed the conviction that the
Offenders should be rigorouly pun-
ished. and continued:
This crime led to the formation
of committee of citizens, suppo-s-
ed by the military power, and the
deportation of suspects and other
persons without trial was COM
menced. In both cases the reign of
law gave way to the reign of force.
Constitutional Guarantees Violated.
These illustrations present some
evidence of the failure OF the govern
ment TO protect the citizen and his
property, which not only justified the
action of your convention in this re-
gard, but made 1t its duty to call at
tention to the fact that the constitu-
tional guarantees are violated when
ever any citizen is denied the right
TO labor, acquire and enjoy property,
or reside where his interests or in
clination may determine, and these
rights should be enforced by every
official.
Tariff Laws Unjust.
"The present tariff law is unjust in
its operation, excessive in many OF
its rates, and so framed in particu-
lar instances as to exact inordinate
profits from the people. Judged by
the record of It's performance. it
would seem that. in the event Of it's
success. the Republican party would
increase the duties. We cannot hope
to secure a majority in the senate
during the next four years and hence
we shall be unable TO secure any
modification of the tariff, save what
the Republican majority in the sem
ate may give. While unable TO give
assurances of relief, we should state
that our position will be In favor OF
a reduction of the tariff.
Combinations, popularly called
trusts. have been encouraged and
stimulated by the excessive tariff
rates. All men must agree that the
net result of enaeting laws that fos-
ter such an inequitable condition is
most unfortunate for the people as Il
whole"
He urged that the people of the
Philippines should be given their lib
erty and that no law should be made
or enforced which should abridge the
privileges of any citizen or deny
equal protection to all The other
questions suggested by the platform
he left to await his letter OF accept
ance. In conclusion ldge Parker
said:
VIII Not Accept denomination. n
II accept the nomination, and if
the action of the convention shall be
endorsed by the people / will, God
helping me, give to the discharge Of
my duties in the exalted office The
best service of which | am capable
and at the end of the term I will re-
tire to private life. / shall not be It
candidate for nor accept renomina-
tion. The controlling reason with
me is that ! am fully persuaded that
no incumbent of that office shoul6
ever be placed in a situation where
the temptation would be possible to
consider what effect any action taken
by him in an administrative matter:
of great Importance might have upon
his political fortunes"

that it could be completed, or If the

Complaints of scarcity of Water.
For some time past there has been
active complaint from all over the
city that water was scanty in the
pipes at times.
The cause is we'll known at the city
hall. A number of incompetent men
were given jobs by Mayor Wright in
payment of his political debts.
Among the incompetents were the
men assigned to the pumping sta
tions. They did not know anything
about the machinery and made a
mess of things, suffering the ma
chinery to get out of order and break
down on numerous occasions.
The only persons whom Mayor
Wright did not select for engineers
at the pumping stations, with the ad-
vice of Billy Welsh, were competent
engineers. Billy guessed the men he
wanted could learn, and he had
promised them jobs of some kind.
