THE WATER QUESTION.
Talk of Installing Meters Has Opened
 Up Big Subject.

Private property owners in Water bury are considering the question of water rates and 1t is probable that an effort will be made to get the small consumers together on the matter. There is no objection to meters, but there is a very pronounced opposition to the schedule of prices which gives the article to the large consumers for little or nothing while others pay q stiff price Talking about fairness and the interest of the taxpayers, what's the matter with meteMng all water consumers and charge uniform rate so that everybody will have to come down on the same basis for what he uses? Wouldn't this be an equitable adjustment of the question:? The large consumer says no and backs his argument by stating every big pur- chaser gets a liberal reduction. That's all right, but it does not apply in this case A private corporation is at lib- erty to have as many prices as IF pleases, but it is quite different with municipalities The city cannot levy a 40 mill tax on one man and make 1t 30 mills on other ratable property ln the same district. Neither has 1.-the right to charge one person 3 cents for a hundred gallons of water and sell a like quantity to his neighbor for one half a cent, simply because the latter uses more than the other fellow. The opinion of two very able attorneys has been had on this question, and they are not of the same political faith by the way. and both agree that the city cannot discriminate in the price of water no more than in the rates of taxation on real estate This water question needs stirring up. Every body wants some of it, and as it be-. longs to the public there should he no special favOrs. Nobody wants to de- priye large consumers of all the water they need. but the question is why shouldn't they pay for it? Can it be possible that men who own millions of dollars worth of property are not wills ing to pay on the same basis as their neighbors who are engaged in hand to hand fight to keep the wolf from the door? Really, this water question means more to the residents of Water- bury than the result of the November election. If the meter system becomes general md no reSision of the present water rates follows, the ordinary run of mortals will have to go dry and dirty unless they find some way of se- curing water besides purchasing 1t from the city government The water system was originally designed for fire protection and domestic use, but these have now become secondary com alterations and the situation is so grave that it should not be disposed of off-hand by any body of citizens, even though they may have the power to do. as they please for the present. As somebody said last night, the present administration will not last for all time.

THE LADIES CAN VOTE.
For Their Choice Between Parker
 and Roosevelt.

An opportunity will be afforded the ladies of Waterbury next week to reg ister their choice as between Judge Parker and President Roosevelt. They will have an opportunity also of seeing for themselves just how each of the candidates looks and what kind of man he is. The opportunity isythe out come of a clever plan devised by Man, ager Poli and will be provided at the Jacques all of next week. MT Poli, as many of our readers are aware, is a wax worker and modeler, and during the vacation he spent at New London last summer he conceived the idea ot making up two 1ife-size figures of the presidential candidates. He wrote to both men and secured direct from them measurements, dimensions and other characteristic details, so that with these and by the aid of photograp phs he was able to reproduce the candidates with lffe-like exactness. These figures will be placed in the lobby of the Jacques all of next week and every lady visiting the theater will have the privilege of casting vote for the can didate of her choice. It will be a novel contest and one that will no doubt ere ate much interest and be pleasing diversion for the ladies wholly apart from the enjoyment of the show on the stage.

BLOCKERS ARE OUT.
Benedict a Burnham Workers Dis-
 satisfied With Pay.

The blockers at Benedict & Burn hams quit work this morning on ac- count of a difference over wages. When the rolling mill at Holmes, Booth & Haydens was closed the blockers were taken over to Benedict & Burnham's and put behind the rolls with the hands there. Up to that time the men got $1.75 a day, but af- ter they were doubled the wage scale was reduced to $1.60. The men claim that although two men were behind the rolls where before but one did the work, the rolls were speeded up so that even more metal than ever was going through and a fellow was on the jump all the time. This morning the men decided to ask for the wages they had been receiving prior to the new order of things, but MT Filling informed them that he couldn't do any better than $1.60, and not thinking this fair return for their labor the men took their coats and left the premises. They are not affiliated with any labor organization and never have been. Blocking is hard job and attended with great danger. Now and then a not unusual to hear of loss of life in the business. The number of men, who quit is small, but such help is scarce, but of course the company will put up with inexperienced hands until they can break them in. 1t is the same old story. everybody trying to get the,mcst he can at the lowest pos sible figure This is the kind of pro- tection that leaves one man at the mercy of another and which the pulp lie is asked to continue for four years more, If not indefinitely.

Then they were told that pipe had burst, and no trouble was experienced Eighty policemen and n large detail of flrerlcn were hid den beyond curtains and doors and in the wings ready to stop any panic that might develop.

 "Knipp," says Blink, T did not realize who it was coming out of church until I passed by. If I saw you coming out of a saloon with hat on the back of your head and a cigar between your fingers, with happy look on your face, or coming from the side door of drug store gazing with an interesting look at the clouds, then would have recognized you but com ing out of church with a meek look and accompanied by your wife was too unconventional for you, Knipp.''

Sick
Blood

Feed pale girls on SCOTS
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
riCh in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it docs.
Scott, Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at it's best,
fullest in strength, least in
taste.
Young women in their
"tccns" are permanently cured
of the peculiar disease of the
blood which shows itself in
paleness, weakness andncrvous-
ness, by regular treatment
with SCOTS Emulsion.

is naturally adapted to the cure
Of the blood sickness from
