st. Adams and Montpelier are con-
sidering the question of installing water
meters. Every argument is in favor of
the use of water meters on all municipal
systems. Then each consumer pays for
what he uses; there is no trouble over
the use of garden or lawn hose, or the
needless waste of water. When the meter
is registering every cubic foot of water
flowing through it, and the consumer is
paying for it, there will be no leaking
faucets; no waste; no more water used
on lawns and gardens than is absolutely
needed, and every city and village will find
its present supply more than adequate.
Carefully compiled statistics from one
hundred and twenty five towns and
cities that were short of water and must
increase the supply, and that installed
meters, prove that there was ar abundance
of water after the meters were installed
and everybody was better served and
pleased. There is no reason why water
should not be sold the same as every
thing else: pay for what you get. The
st. Adams Messenger says:
1.-THE same wise principle of business
involved in the use of water meters as in
the use of gas meters or electric light
meters-the consumer pays for what he
gets and no more, no less, and con-
sequeIfly the tendency is to restrict
waste because it is expensive. The
l,water problem in St Adams is not how

I According to West Virginia report
Mr.. Davis, through his wealth and

destinies Of his state, and is given
the credit Of having performed a lead.

tion is ON the theory that the hand

statement 1t was whispered that Sens-

Although Mr.. Davis is an alert man
for his years, Of course no pretense is
made that he is capable of performing

should be called to their exercise, or
that he is even equal to the nominal
Of the vice presidency. The

Trying to Get West Virginia.


The Democrats will not get any pi'
and comfort from the Republican stat
convention which has just met II
West Virginia. Dawson, who ha'
been nominated for governor by tn
Republicans, is an able and popular
man, who will undoubtedly carry thu
state in November, says the Globe
Democrat. There has been q good
deal of.rivalry between certain leaders
Of the Republicans In West Virginia,
but all will pull together for Roose'
welt and for Dawson.
West Virginia has an especial in
terest this year because Of the fact
that the Democrats have selected their
vice presidential candidate from that
state, which is the first time in many
years that any member Of the Demo.
cratic national ticket has been chosen
from o Southern state. There had
been some indications Of a possible
rupture among the West Virginia Re-
publicans this year, and this was
probably a leading reason why the
Democrats went to that state for their
vice presidential nominee. The pres
emit indications are that the Demo-
Gratis will be badly deceived In their
forecast. Says Senator Elkins; "West
Virginia can not be beguiled into CIV
ing up protection and sound money
to make Judge Parker president. even
IL, by so doing, they make Senator
Davis vice president. l have no doubt
as to Republican success in Novem'

For many years West Virginia was
Democratic. 1t gave its electoral
vote to Tilden in 1876, to Hancock In
1880 and to Cleveland in all three Of
his canvasses. But in 1894 on the
congressional candidate it came over
to the Republicans, and it has been

then, giving Mckinley . plurality Of

His Estimate Of Tho Candidate.

AAoso VI Aug V8UulUAto.
Ihs Atchison Globe, a politically
independent paper, views the nomina-
ton Of Parker in this way:
MANY people will believe that
Judge Parker Of New York is a great
man because he was nominated for
president by the Democrats.
"There are two reasons why Par
ker was nominated: First, because
he comes faom New York; second be-
cause he is ~nonenity. The Demo-
Gratis desired 9 candidate against
whom nothing could be said; who had
no record. Parker is that sort of Q
man. You read Of hundreds Of promi-
nent men in New York, but you never
heard Of Parker until he was selected
as a Democratic candidate for presi.
dent because he was unknown, and
because there was 'nothin' agin him
"ltis certain that Parker will run
better than Bryan; there is q good
deal Of wisdom in nominating such a
candidate. Thousands Of people hate
Roosevelt, because he Is active and
aggressive, but nobody hates Parker;
they know nothing about him. Par.
ker is the sort OF q man We must take
on trust. His supporters will say
that he is the greatest man in the
world, and We cannot deny 1t, because
we know nothing about him. There
Is q sort Of man who never does any
thing himself, but who is q great
of0those who do accomplish re-
suits. This sort Of man says he Is the
right sort Of man, but we cannot
prove the contrary. for the reason
that he has never done anything. and
therefore be has no record. That's
he kind Of q candidate the Democrats
lave.
"The Democrats could not have

Judge Parker. seeming to be almost

him and for themselves, and be may
be tried and judged by them as fully
as his party will be tried and judged
by its silent platform, says the New
York Globe. One Of the unique cases
arising from the daily events Of the
great city Of New York was that Of
Robertson against the Rochester Fold
ing Boz Company, the plaintiff being
a young, estimable and lovely woman
and the defendant q manufacturer Of
folding boxes, and using billboards as
we'll as its boxes, for advertising
purposes. The facts Of the case are
recited in The Green Bag, a legal
journal Of Boston, in its issue OF
March, 1904. the dicision having been
rendered in January-long before
Judge Parker was q Presidential can

The facts alleged and proved in the
trial courts were as follows: The de-
PENDANT had surreptitiously obtained
q photograph Of Miss Robertson, and,
having had 1t engraved, used it on
their boxes and billboards absolutely
without her knowledge or consent
throughout the State Of New York,

colored and the drapery of the bust

ment and care Of a physician were
necessary. In the meantime her
counsel had notified the defendant
that 1t must cease using the photo
and as no attention was paid
the rightiul and reasonable request
IN injunction was sued out.
In the Supreme Court the plaintiff
was granted the reliekior which she
had prayed, and damages were given
