HOW CITY LOSES MONEY
Water Furnished to Public institution
zat{ Means Less Revenue,

If the water department received pay
for the water that is furnished free to
various departments and institutions
it is estimated that the revenues would
be increased by fully $l65,175.
The total revenue last year was $685.

schools, parks, police and fire stations,
horse fountains, state university and
other public institutions. At the rate
Of Z cents a thousand gallons this
would amount to SOC, 800. If an allow
ance of $40 year is made for each of
the 3,74O fire hydrants, which is far
below the average, the department is
entitled to further credit Of $4,000.

The Platt Case.

Most people who have had the cour-
age to follow the matter would be apt
to say that Senator Plat had obtained
the legitimate reward of his kind Of
life in the domestic troubles which
have risen to darken his last days.
Platt found a woman who was attrac-
tive to him and placed her in one Of the
departments. He found another who
was still more attractive and placed
her in another department. The two
women had a scramble for the aged and
declining senator and Miss: Mae. Wood
"lost out,'' as they say at: the9=ring
side. Consequently the other woman
must have "won in The natural re
suit is trouble. -z.rE,

The people are interestedS in this
problem because they know that the be

Rome was on the down road when the

the gods was seriously mentioned anl
when private virtue ceased to be sof

The morals of nation are reflected
in the attitude of its statesmen We
have seen that our congress became
commercial when the country became
commercial. Great orators and great
thinkers disappeared from congress
when great moral questions .ceasedste

ways Of doing it. In the first place
it would perhaps be in better taste to
do it in q political speech than in q

dsingenuous to attempt to manufacture

public property. In the third place he

Fee Law Suggested.
A. resolution asking the governor to
recommend to the legislature the pay
| ment of an annual fee by all corpora

board, +. Every corporation, foreign or
pay the fee, and when not paid it
shall be considered prima facie evil
dence that the corporation is not doing
business. The object is to give the
board Of equalization complete list
of the corporations in the state. By
making this annual fee compulsory it
would have full list Of all the com
panies that want to be known, for all
companies that want to retain the right
to sue and be sued would have to file
the fee annually. At present they file
only when beginning business. :
The board passed resolution direct
county auditors to list all building and
loan associations: as unlisted property.

Gilbert Parker's New serIaE--A new
novel by Gilbert Parker. a story into
which he has put the best of his matur-
Ing powers, is a literary event of much
more than ordinary Importance. Conse-
quently Harper's Monthly for October, in
which appears the first installment of Mr..
Parker's latest, and what is said to- be
his best, work, will be in large demand
The story is that of a young Quaker,
who, leaving the. home and society. Of his
birthplace in England, goes INTO; the
Levant to become part of the life there.
The first installment has to, do with the
break between the young man, under a
tortur1ng unrest of mind, and his fellow
rel1g1on1sts The break is tragic in it's
very simplicity. There is no Violence no
outcry, scarcely even tear; just divid-
Ing of beliefs, silent rending Of the in
visible web of the Interpretation Of a
faith, Yet, it holds all the essential ele-
ments Of tragedy. The way in which the
author has handled it shows the artist
of genuine power, the man who can fit
his medium to his material with skill ond
nicely, so that the picture sinks into the
mind OF the reader, in sall its deeper
meaning. These first chapters give prom
1se Of a very unusual tale.
