Personal Statement from Mr.. calvin.
Editor of The Phoenix:
have read the statement purporting to
be the recommendations of the water
board. signed by three members. knew
nothing of this statement or It's contents
until you inquired as to my knowledge
and approval of the same. Some of the
facts set forth l know nothing about.
Others / know to be glaringly untrue
(Which will receive attention later). II
the village cannot treat with Mr.. Crowell
on the proposition to arbitrate, as 1t
seems to me IL is in honor bound to
do, then l say let Mr.. Crowell own the
water supply and furnish the village.
But there is one thing that am fully
convinced of, and that is that the essen
tial thing to do at the special meeting is
to dispense with the services of the pres
ent water board. 1 never did and never
will knowingly be misrepresented in a
matter that is for the welfare of the
community. This is my own statement
1 represent no one else, and have not con-
suited any other member of the board.

Was the Jamaican RIaht7

In the early spring of 1899 the writer
of this paragraph was in theN island OF
Jamaica, Our war with Spain had been
fought the summer before and the United
States government was administering the
affairs Of Cuba Professionally and feeling
its way toward Independence for the
people of that island. On railroad
train between Kingston and Port Antonio
one day We overheard a native Jamaican.
evidently OF English descent, and a man
OF strength and business standing. dis
cussing the Cuban situation with some
fellow passengers. and he expressed the
opinion, in strong and unqualified terms,
that ''the United States could never let
go in Cuba" The Cuban people, he said.
had no fitness for self-government, and
II the United States were to let go its
hand of strong and steady control the
natives would fight among themselves,
and those in the outlying sections would
plunder the plantations and other in
dustries which outside capital might es-
tablish and develop, and would steal
everything in sight" We thought at
the time that this Jamaican was preju-
diced, and that he had gained ais ideas
under English colonial rule, and not un-
der the freedom and confidence in hui
man nature of our American democracy.
But now seven and a half years have
elapsed and the events which we see in
progress in Cuba inevitably raise the
question: Was the Jamaican right, and
was he simply speaking out Of intimate
personal knowledge of the Unborn char
acterisucs of all those native tropical
islanders?

Mr.. FItts's Report.

The report of Attorney General Fits
to Gov. Bell on the alleged sale by the
Vermont cattle commission, for food pur-
poses. OF condemned tuberculous CATTLE
is printed with substantial completeness
on the 5th page of this paper. 1t makes
mighty interesting reading" Mr.. Fits
evidently went after the facts and he has
no hesitation about letting the public
know what he found out. No comment is
needed to explain what the report means.
The apparent and essential fact Is that,
instead Of making 1t their first business
to safeguard the public health. the first
consideration of the commissioners was to
sell the condemned cattle for the most
money they could get. It was a paltry
and disreputable business for the State OF
Vermont TO have been engaged in through
these officials, and there need be no
doubt that the present legislature and the
present state administratio will make very
sure that nothing of the kind ever hap
pens again. Meantime 1t is to be hoped
that the law can reach and punish every
guilty person, whether he be a Vermont
official, a dealer, or a member of some
rendering or packing concern. We await
with interest the final outcome OF the
Chittenden county grand jury's work.
The disquieting thing about this whole
wretched business is that these con-
demned cattle appear TO have been count
ed by the drovers and slaughterers to be
as good as the ordinary run Of cattle for
beef purpOses-so long as they would
pass" What are we to suppose we are
eating when we eat beefsteak? And what
about those cattle, too far gone for beef,
that were sold to Hayerhin concern for

Another contribution to our long-drawn-
out water controversy is printed on the
second page of this paper. 1t appears
that at a meeting OF the water board
held about two weeks ago It was voted
to have statement drawn up for pub
ncation. The statement as now made,
however. was not submitted to the board
as a whole, and at least six members Of
the board have not seen 1t before publica-
ton. The statement declares positively
against ownership of the crowell system,
but at least four members OF the water
board state that they stand squarely by
the agreement to arbitrate for the pur-
chase of the present system, and that,
while still in favor OF municipal owner
ship, they would not now eountenance
or support a movement to establish an

Mrs. Mary StaIlens, rs, was at work in

the bullet lodging in the hip. She died
Saturday. The shot was fired by Clarence

CoDurn in the Senate.

As secretary OF the Kansas board of
Agriculture Foster Dwight Coburn has
done as much as any other one man
for the improvement of agricultural
methods and the promotion of agricul-
ture in America. He is nothing of a
politician and everything of a student
and worker in his chosen field.
His appointment by Governor HOch
to fill out the unexpired nine months of
Joseph BuTton's term in the senate
will give him a pleasant vacation in
Washington and keep the lOngterm
senatOrship open for the Kansas repub-
Iican politicians to struggle for in the
election of the Legislature this fall.
If this is Governor Hoch's purpose
in appointing Mr.. Coburn. no better bit
of politics has been played in Kansas
for many d year. But it has its ele-
ment of grave danger to the politi-
clans
The republican farmers of Kansas
may like Senator Coburn so well as to
insist upon his entering the lists for
the six-year term. which begins on
March I next. But if Mr.. COburn is

the Egg-O-See interests, recently gave
an address before the Agate club III
Chicago. This is an organization oil
advertising interests. with incidental So
cial features. and is one of the most
prominent in its class in the country
Mr.. Linihan talked on the subject OF
advertising in connection with cereal
foods and told of the upbuilding OF
Egg-O-See by creating a good article
and telling the public about it.
The company now used many forms
of advertising, but the business had its
foundation in the daily newspaper.
The speaker laid down this first and
golden rule: THAT for the introduc-
ton of an article into the homes of
the people. there is no other medium
that will equal the daily newspapers.
In this connection it may be men
toned that every advertisement ever
penned in the interest of Egg-O-See

How to Break Up a Cold.

1t may be a surprise to many to
learn that a severe cold can be com
pletely broken up in one or two days
time. The first symptoms of a cold
are dry, loud cough, a profuse watery
discharge from the nose, and thin,
white coating On the tongue. When
Chamberlain's cough remedy is taken
every hour on the first appearance of
these symptoms, it counteracts the eff
feet of the cold and restores the sys-
TEN to a healthy condition within a
day or two. For sale by all leading
druggists.
