A WATER sNAhs

The water snake appears TO have az
many heads as the famous monster OF
mythology. When one Is cut off. an
other shows itself. Ever since a was
determined to build new water plant
there has been strange tendency on
the part OF our officials to turn their
eyes westward. There is an attraction
In the indianapolis plant hard to resist.
There are other filters ia operation. and
they have been examined and no fault
has been found with their construction
or efficiency, but they do not compel
admiration like the indianapolis plant.
We learn from the discussions that
take place from time to time that
there is a marvellous and most in
senious device which keeps the filters
from freezing during cold weather.
steam pipe is run around them and
the heat discoufages the formation OF
ice. Marveiousl Just think Of the in
genuity required to evolve such a
scheme. The application OF heat by
means Of steam pipe to neutrallze
cold shows a degree OF inventive genius
that ought to be rewarded by giving the
Inventor a contract for erecting our
plant.
But in view OF our past experience.
if the Water Commission makes third
contract with The sand Filtration COM
pany' or its successors. or with any
other concern which does not secure
the contract as the result Of open bid
ding, we trust that Mayor Bird will
lagaln take hand.

ACCOUNTABILITY

we notice that the press generally
has been very delicate in It's references
to the somewhat extensive stock gam
bling Of two Of cur ministers. Most Of
the brief references to the matter that
have come under our notice have
sought to gloss the affair over as an
unpleasant incident which It is well to
forget as soon as possible.
We have no objection. since the topic
gives no pleasure, but ere the matter
is dropped it is necessary that there
should remain no false Impressions on
the subject. The president of the
American Press Association in his an
hual address last year declared that
newspapers are more censurable for
what they suppress than for what they
print, and we are not certain but that
he was right. There is always the item
OF influence to keep certain things
quiet or to suppress them altogether.
But the poor weak man who is drag
ged Into the police court for playing
policy, the colored man who gets
caught at shooting crap" receives no
mercy. The papers write up half
humorous article in which his dereiic-
tion is made a matter Of Jest. Yet when
those high In religious authority gam
bic on a larger scale, the newspaper
men either hold their breaths or hunt
for plausible excuses.
1t is this spirit which refuses to hold
men accountable for thir acts which
breeds iawlessness Nobody wants the
vIolators OF election laws punished, be-
cause they are well known In the COM
munity, and therefore. certain election
laws remain a dead-letter. For the
same reason juries bring in verdicts
that are In absolute defiance OF the
facts and at variance with their uaths.
Recently a coroners jury IN Kent
county brought in a verdict Of suicide
when there were present all the evil
dences Of a horrible murder-and con-
fesslon now comes as proof. The neigh
bors didn't want to make a scandal ana
to cause anybody trouble. There is al
so a feeling shared by many Of our cit
izens that 1t Is bad policy to show up
the political rascality Of this state;
they believe, or profess to believe, that
Il does no good, but brings rs injury.
II may se that we are unwittineiy
teaching the younger generation a very
dangerous lesson. 1t may be that they
are being impressed that the only dam
ger In wroiV-dolng lies Ia discovery,
and that even that may be avoided II
one has influence. But It doesn't pay
for person or a community to live IN
an atmosphere Of hypocrisy or con-
cealment.
Now we think the young should be
taught the lesson that the difference
between speculation and gambling Is
that in speculation you buy something,
While in gambling you bet ON the turn
Of a card, on a horse winning race
or that stocks will SO up or down. To
buy stock and pay for II Is an honest
and legitimate transaction, but when
one buys on margins he has no prop
erty In the stock, but stakes his money
that It will advance. No matter who
engages in this sort OF gambling 1t is
pernicious.

Budding Time.

Old Pan, past master OF the flute,
Thou usty, dear melodious brute.
Sit on thy launches by my side,
And blow my spring dream open wide,
Puff out thy shaggy jowls and make
The honey bulbs Of Nature break
Abloom FOR joy; stir up the Juice.
The sap. the chlorophyi. and loose
Once more the tender. searching strain,
While all the world goes wild again.
Pun out thy shaggy jowls ana blow,
Now high and clear, now soft and low.
Until the music stlrs my feet
Until my veins the measure beat
And that vague wonder masters me.
The panic or thy melody
All, Pan. Pan. Pan. one OF thy boys
Sull holds TO those Arcadian Joys
Those simple, deep-born. keen de-
lights
OF colors perfumes. sounds and sights.
And love, love, love, when In the

As to the Tug
 of War Meet
CAPTAIN OF THE CALUMET AND ARIZONAS WILLING TO PULL OFF THE DISPUTED CON TEST FOR s1,ooo IF c.
 O. MEN CLAIM
 CONTEST.

Dr. T. s. Collins, who captained the Calumet & Arizona team in the tug-oi- war Sunday night, said last night that while technically his team won the match, it was willing to divide the purse, and this for harmony's sake. Tn a tug-of-war. the same as in any other sport" said the Doctor. the team that succeeds in pulling the marker over the dead line wins, no matter how much the advantage the other side may have had up to that time. Take q boat race. or any otr- CT kind of a race; the boat that cross es the finishing line in the lead wins. no matter how much the best or it the other boat may have had up to the time t is headed by the winner. Sc it IS Tn the tug-of-war, and while we won, for the sake of harmony we are willing to divide the prize money. This. We think, is fair, and if this Is not acceded to we may be forced to take steps 10 collect the entire purse. '
 Dr. Collins stand seems to be well taken. and those who look at the mat ter in al unbiased manner think as he does. and that the offer of the C. & As to divide the prize money should be accepted and no further animosity stirred up.
