While the various standing com
mittees of the city council are max
ing up recommendations for the
work that ought to be done this year,
the water committee is doing well
not to overlook its department.
There is nothing needed 50 badly as
improvements in that department.
1t is a notorious fact that the pink
slip is the result Of inadequate water
works. There is an abundant sup
ply OF water since the completion OF
the dam across the West Fork river,
a supply so great in abundance that
everyone is justly proud Of it. But,
the facilities for getting the supply
distributed are so limited that there
is danger so great that the pink slip
must remain and with it high and
higher insurance. Every one wants
this slip removed, because it is too
expensive. There need be no better
reason than that for improving the
water works, but in addition there
are other good reasons. No one
wants to have themselves or their
property at the mercy Of flames, and
every one wants a supply of water
at all times. In places there is no
water at all during the day and with
heavier consumption coming all the
time, there will soon be none at those
places either day or night. The
Telegram recognizes the urgency Of
making Improvements in that de-
partment and the city council should
give it the most serious considera-
ton.

Tillman and the Negroes.

1t must be infinitely discouraging

Senator Tillman going around the
country and doing his best to tear
down what, at such great pains. is
being built up in the way of order
and progress among the colored peo
pie of this country.
/, Tillman has been a monomaniac
who sees the whole world black, a..d
in. the seeing and in the telling of it
he becomes himself so yellow that
the outbursts of Chicago negroes on
his approach were hardly surprising
We can assure the negroes, how
ever, that just as the future is not 50
black as Tillman sees it, neither is it
SO yellow as they see it when Till
man Is in sight. The future as it con-
Germs the relations of the races in
this country Is full of serious difficult
problems. The leaders of both races
know that only too we'll But the
white race is not made up of Till
mans any more than the black race
is made mp OF the particular kind of
"brutes, worse than animals" which
Tillman revels in describing Nor is
there a tendency among the wh

there is tendency among the blacks
to develop ruthless criminals. Rec

Cannot Control School Boards.

The appellate court now holds that
a school trustee is NOT an officer OF
the civil city, and that the school
corporation is not corporation in
which the city is interested, within
the meaning of the law therefore,
the councils power OF supervise, in
vestixate, etc., as above set forth,
does not extend to school trustees.
Under the present law, since 1905,
when the council appoints school
trustees it at once loses all control
over them and they are left to their
responsibility and to the people. The
council cannot compel an investiga-
ton of the books and papers of the
school board.
The case just decided arose out oil
the refusal of the treasurer. of the
Valparaiso school board to submit
his books and accounts to an exam
ination by the finance committee oil
the council, under a resolution of the
council. He admitted the right OF
any citizen, as such TO examine hi:
records but denied the right of the
council, as such, to do so, and he wa:
sustained by the judge of the circui
court. An appeal was taken and agais
he was sustained, TIE council having
meantime squandered a neat sum Of
city money in the litigation.

h ust Be a Strong Man.

Shor.d President Roosevelt be
elected again, properly speaking, it
would only be a second term, but the
President has always given the peo-
pie TO understand that he REGARDS the
unexpired term of Mr.. Mckinley
which he was called upon to fill, as a
first term. Mr.. Roosevelt has seen fit
to announce again that lie is net a
candidate for re-election; to friends
he says he would not acccpt a re-
nomination. So great is Mr.. Roose-
velt's popularity and such is his rep
utation for doing things that the peo-
pie are little disposed to take him a:
his word. But the president is pos
tive in whatever he says and does,
and it seems that in all probability
he must be considered outside the
coming presidential race. The late
election was an endorsement of pro
gressiye Republicanism. The prin
ciples of the party haven't changed
to any great degree, but Mr. Roose-
welt vitalized them to remarkable
extent. judging by the recent election
with Mr.. Roosevelt out of the race,
it Is evident that the Republican can
didate, to be successful must be a
man OF the Roosevelt type, one WHO
has the courage and ability to carry
on the fight that Roosevelt has be-
gun and waged with success.-War-

the Monarch Iron Works in the west
end of the city Friday eveniags wit
ness the process of molding. looked
at the new buifiing and examined The
up-to-date machinery of the plant
Everybody was pleased and sur
prised at the facilities for turning
out work and at the possibilities for
building up an immense factory in
Plymouth.
At a meeting of business men held
after visiting the plant, the ques-
ton of Plymouth capitalists, business
men and others taking stock in the
factory was discussed, and there was
general opinion that little help
just now might prove. of great adj
vantage to the factory and to those
taking stock and also to every prop
erty owner and workingman in Ply
mouth, and we think full particulars
can probably be Obtained by calling
on W. H. Matthew.
The reception given the business
men at the foundry was very pleasing
and each man was presented with a

An UNUSUAL display of the faithful
ness of the dog is brought 20 light
in the death of John Cross IN La
grange county few days ago.
The circumstances attending the
death of Mr. Cross were peculiar. He
lived in small house near the viii
lage of Honeyville Thursday night
until IL O'Clock he was at the home
of one of his neighbors. On his way
home across the fields Cross was
stricken with heart failure and was
mot discovered until o'clock on the
following afternoon.
The fences had blown down on an
adjoining farm and the farmer spent
considerable time Friday fixing them
up. He noticed dog ON the other
side of the fence sitting for hours
apparently watching something. The
dog went home at dinner time, but
later the animal came back to the
same place. The farmer finally con-
cluded that there must be something
lying there. and upon investigation
found 1t to be Mr.. Cross, who was
still alive but very weak He died a
short time after his body was dis
covered.

Big Four Prosecuted.

Attorney General Miller has filed
a suit in the Marion superior court
for the state railroad commission
against the Big Four railroad COM
pany to compel that company to
make proper distribution of cars of
coal delivered TO it for shipment by
the Southern Indiana and the Evans
vile & Terre Haute railroad COM
anies. The grounds of the suit are
the failure of the Big Four to handle
and deliver ears consigned to it by
either oil. these roads for the gas belt
and other localities and its failure 20
return cars which have been accept
ed. 1t is alleged that instead OF re
turning cars which 1t has accepted
the Big Four has reloaded them and
has sent them to other parts OF the
country, mainly to the West Virginia
coal fields, where they have been
loaded again and this time with West
Virginia coal, which has been ship
ped back to the Indiana market but
for which Indiana must pay higher
price. The reason the Big Four does
this, it is alleged, is selfish one, as
it gets more pay on long hauls. This
has been carried on to such an extent
that Indiana roads refuse to deliver
coal to the Big Four for shipment
The case will be pushed. as the al
legged practice Is leaving the Indiana
gas belt in a coal famine

Senator Gallinger, of New Hamp-
shire, arrived in Washington Sunday
night in a combative mind. He served
notice upon Representative Burton
of Ohio, chairman of the house COM
mtee on rivers and harbors, that if
the latter opposed ship subsidy legis-
lation this winter the river and har-
Dor bill would be cut into ribbons
when it reached the senate. Senator
Gallinger said:
"Mr. Burton should understand
from the beginning that if he inter-
poses any obstacle in the way of
shipping, there will be some men in
the senate who will scrutinize care
fully the provisions of the river and
harbor bills.
There is no logical reason why we
should improve rivers and harbors,
expend hundreds of millions to i'm
prove the highways of commerce for
the benefit of foreign shipping, and
refuse to appropriate mere pittance
for the rehabilitation of American
merchant marine"

William Mckinley, although no
relative of the late President, is in
the Providence Hospital in Washing
ton, and Civil War veterans all over
the country will mourn at the news.
Mckinley, although not an enlisted
man, was one of the most trusted
engineers on the military trains of
the Union forces during the Civil
war. It has often been said of him
that he was shot up" so often and
manned in SO many railway accidents
the result of train wrecking during
the conflict, that he resembled a hu
man sieve when the war ended. Nc
Kinley's first work for the govern
ment was when he was summoned to
drive the locomotive that drew the
train on which Abraham Lincoln
travelled from Philadelphia to Wash
ington to be inaugurated. For years
Mckinley was on the payroll of the
postoffice department as laborer at
$720 a year, but a short time ago he
was retired because of disability. The
worry over his dismissal aggravated
the suffering he experienced because
of old war wounds and he finally had
to be taken to a hospital. His case
is a sad proof of the ingratitude of
republics. He is without pension, al
though Congress at one time consid-
cred the matter. Nothing was ever
done and the old man who did SO
much for the nation in its days of
travail, is practically without funds,
should he recover.

who attempted to swindle the First
National Bank of Galesburg out of

and comes from wealthy parents.
Early in September she appeared in
Monmouth and registered at Mon

attempted to cash forged order for
$500 on the First National Bank OF
that city. When the officers of the
bank refused to give her the money
she left the city, going to Galesburg

There seems to be a general con-
census of opinion that little will be
done at the session of Congress that
began Monday except to pass the APP
preparation bills, and possibly to
force through the ship subsidy bill
Indeed, there is not time to do much,
for the session expires March A next
by constitutional limitation 1t is
almost certain that the tariff will not
be touched. Nor is it probable that
the laws recently enacted will be
strengthened. Ii will be argued that
there has not yet been time for them
OF prove their value. And Congress
will be disposed to wait until IT can
learn something from experience
with them. Some subjects may have
to be considered, such as the status
of the Porto Ricans, the Philippine
tariff and the Santo DOMINICAN and
Algeciras treaties. Congress may,
too, have to deal with the Japanese
complication But Congress will be
likely to postpone till its next session
whatever can possibly be postponed.
