LITTLE CHILD
SCALDED
HELEN Chandose Suffers In
tense Pain From Accident
Early Monday M0rninu.

HELEN, the ~six-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. G.. Chandose of the
west side, was very badly scalded
with hot coffee about $50 Monday
morning. The little one was neal the
kitchen range watching her mother
getting the breakfast, when in some
manner the large coffee pot, which
had been placed close to the edge,
tipped " and splashed all over her.
Her left leg, right wrist and right
knee were very badly scalded, and the
little n has suffered intense pain as
a result. A physician was hastely
summoned and everything possible
was done to give her relief. At the
present time she is resting easily, and
while it is not thought that any per-
manent injury will result, it will
take many days before the little girl
is well enough to be up and about.

Suits Against City

nothing left uncared for that will in
anyway render the latter liable under
any circumstance. As to those suits
already filed, believe it would be

the city is not at fault, | recon-.

EDITORIAL

BY careful perusal of the council
committees appointed by Pres. Lind
quist it will be noted that the min
ority members are not only recognized
on every committee, but have been
given the Craftsmanship OF important
committees. This is unprecedented
generosity and magnanimity, testify
ing to Pres. Lindquist's sincere desire
to do the right thing. Democracy
proclaimed that to the victors belong
the spoils, and IL is matter of record
that when victorious that party takes
everything the law allows, That Pres.
Llndquist has set a nobler and higher
mark for councilmen TO follow is in
deed commendable 1t should work
to the better advantage OF the city,
and be continued, but we believe that
this move of his is more In the ma.
ture Of casting pearls before the un.

License Question.

Second-Much trouble has been en-
countercd in the past in the collec-
tions of licenses. There seems TO be a
diversity Of opinion as to the city's
power to collect licenses and as to the
amount that can be legally collected
without it amounting to a second tax.
Many who have been compelled to
take out "A license In advance have
found numerous reasons why they
should not do so later If the policy
we have been pursuing in the past has
been illegal or unjust, | recommend
that the license ordinance be amended
or repealed and suitable one adopt

see no reason why the accommodation
extended to licensed businesses, OF
permitting them to run for months
without prepayment, should result in
so much difficulty for the city and dis.
satisfaction on the part of those licens.

THE JOURNALS CRITICISMS.

Honest criticism, made kindly, and
with an apparent disposition to be
helpful, is ever appreciated by intclli-
gent men. At no time during the
construction of the city light plant
and system. and since its completion
has the Electric Light committee
been unwilling to accept kindly sug-
gestion from any source, democratic
republican, but the mayor and COM
mittee, all intelligent men, honest
men, men serving the city for pit
tancc, and with only desire to rem
der a service creditable alike to them
selves and the city, have resented,
Justly resented that class of criticism
and suggestion offered by the demo-
cratic organ. To even the most casual
reader it cannot but appear that that
paper has deemed IL its duty to find
fault, TO dig up something which by
inuendo at least might be impugned:
1t has written slightingly ofthe mayor
and the committee, and said plainly
that these gentlemen have sought to
mislead the people as to the status of
the plants condition, the business
done. and the showing of the books.
This in itself might not be so serious
were IL not for the fact that every
criticism has been made acrimonious
| ly. The pen on the Journal stat that
/ writes the criticism OF the light SyS
, TEN and its officials has ever seemed
| dipped in vinegar and gall-it has
never seemed to have back Of 1t q
kindly intent. The papers most re
cent issue contains much of the samC
bitter TRADE that has marked its at
titude since plant construction wa
begun, There is less foundation fol
this attack than most Others, but tn,
tenor of the criticism is marked will
even more bitterness than usual. Thi
Is indeed unfortunate, and we believ,
every reader of the Journal, howeve
partisan, will agree with us, that tn
space it uses in acrimonious criticism
could be peter used in kindly helpful
suggestion. The mayor, electric ligh
committee, city council and othcial
generally will appreciate this at an
time. At the present time the cit
plant furnishes excellent light, stead
and brilliant. IL furnishes good power
Even at the present extraordinary lo'
price OF lights il is making money
The mayor and electric light commit
tee are interested only in making il
? better Investment These people ar
probably familiar with the diflicultic
: that stand in the way of the syster
\ making as much money as is desire
, and hoped for, and that these diflicu
: ties are not removed Immediately
! only because the way is not suggested
!, These men are honest, are not seekin
: to hoodoo the people, and it certainI
e seems that the democratic orpa
could with profit forget its poitica
game and treat the officials as tn
men OF honor they are.

Gentlemen
In accord with the custom Of offer
ing few suggestions of the council at
the beginning of each administration,
/ respectfully make the following rec
Communications TO your honorable
body.
First Your attention Is called
to the unsatisfactory condition Of
the fire department. This depart
mcnt of the city needs your immed-
late action. The fire apparatus Is
poorly sheltered and accommodations
for answering calls so bad that fear
we would not be bameless in case
a disastrous lire should occur be-
lieve the people generally would will
iDgly pay small tax to provide fun
for a reasonably good department and
/ therefore recomme nd that suitable
building be erected, sufficiently large
for all fire purposes, including living
apartments for groom. l believe
che council should act in this matter
Immediately.

THE REPUBLICAN knows that these
gentlemen return tOprivate life with
hearts filled with thankfulness, not re-
gretful that they were called TO sacri-
flee their time and energy for the city,
but rather that their work Is done.

less task, an empty honor as a rule.
The councilman's job is always that.

STEEL DOES NOT GET TIRED
That Is, If 1t Is Properly Made, Says
One Who Has Investi-
gated.

An interesting problem often dis
oussed is whether iron or steel becomes
changed in its properties by what Is
termed fatigue. Most probably, accord
ing to r. A. Hadfield, it does not, II
tho material is, in the first or original
state, properly prepared, says London
Engineering.
Failures, so called, of this kind are
generally owing to the steel possess
ing either internal flaws, which are
often only detected by an examination
or it's micro structure, or that 1t has
not been in the proper condition when
sent out to the user. So-callGd mys-
terious failures are generally due to
improper heat treatment and are quite
apparent when adequately investigated
A recent writer states that, after long
experience, he has found steel does
not change by fatigue-that is, under
ordinary working loads; "once right.
always right" is mis- explanation.
This investigator took large num-
Der OF specimens that had been many
years in use, some having given salts
factory, some unsatisfactory, results
and he detected no difference or break
down in the mechanical qualities
Probably this conclusion is correct.
at Waterfowl arsenal the official
testing department of the American
government, interesting tests have
been made upon iron which had been
submitted to severe mechanical treat
ment % years ago-that Is, it had been
stressed close up to the elastic limit
and then laid on one side. No change
in quality could be detected. The char
acteristics of the earlier overstrained
condition produced by the loads ap-
piled SO long before still remained.

DISCOVERY OF GOLD FIELD
Apparently Worthless Rock Turned
Out to Be Valuable
Find.

Five years ago a desert rancheT
named Jim Butler was prospecting In
southwestern Nevada, packing his out
fit along on the backs of six burros,
trudging among the mountains $50
miles from a railroad in g country
which an experienced miner would
have laughed at, says Outing.
II had none of the signs of gold bear
ing rock, and in his plumb ignorance
Butler plodded along 40 milea from
water and one mile from Ill.," trust
ing TO gold seekers luck, and not at
all confident of making strike big
enough to keep him in tobacco money.
One night he camped on Tonopah
spring and found some rock that
looked good to him. He broke off a
few chunks, loaded them on burro
and took them home in the course OF
time. In the town of Belmont, near
his ranch, his rock was greeted with
ligbt-hearted incredulity, and he was
about to throw it away when young
lawyer named Oddie pricked up his
ears, and with the rashness Of youth
offered to have the samples sssayed.
Butler went back to his ranch in
Monitor valley and betook himself to
the more important business of har-
vesting his hay crop. He had forgot
ten all about his rock when Oddie sent
him word that the stuff assayed sew
eral hundred dollars a ton in gold and
silver.
