COURTS MAY DECIDE
international Waterway Commission
Censured For Reporting With
out Investigating.

Washington. Jan. 15.-Three against
twenty five, the representatives of the
sanitary district Of Chicago did battle
with members of the Lake Carriers as
sociation before Secretary of War Taft
yesterday for the right to take as much
water from the lake as needed to pur-
ify Chicago's sewage, and won from
the secretary expressions indicating
that he would grant their request. Of
ficially, Secretary Taft took the matter
under advisement.
The representatives of the sanitary
district were President r. r. McCor-
mick OF the drainage board, Chief En-
gineer Isham Randolph and Erasmus
C. Lindley. At the beginning OF the
hearing they made 1t plain that in
asking Secretary Tafts consent to the
plan of reversing the current OF the
Calumet river and taking 1000 cubic
feet OF water a second from the lake
in addition to the present flow through
the drainage canal, they did not recog-
nize the governments control over the
matter, but were acting merely out of
courtesy.
Ready for Court Fight.
It was stated that should the permit
be refused or should. in the future, the
federal government attempt to restrict
the intake Of water in the Chicago and
Calumet rivers to an unreasonable de-
gree, the sanitary district would
promptly take the question into the
courts.
The sewage from the 100000 people
residing south of Eighty-seventh street
drains into the Calumet river "and
creates q stream foul as the old Chi
cago river" stated Mr.. Mccormick.
Mr.. Mccormick cited to the secretary
the rapid growth of the towns to the
south of the Chicago and reviewed the
act of the Illinois legislature in 1908
the construction of the
Evanston and Calumet channels. He
severely censured the international wa
ter way commission. which, without
visiting Chicago. recommended that the
intake of the Chicago river be restrict
ed to 10000 cubic feet per second. IT
am informed by competent legal au-
thorities," said Mr.. Mccormick, that
1t is very questionable whether the fed
eral government can forbid the taking
of water for domestic and sanitary
purposes"

Mr.. Hart lives IN Crown Point and
is regarded as one of the wealthiest
farmers in the county and his desire TO
acquaint himself with the most up

splendid indication OF his progress

How Young Lawyer Carried Comfort

 The result of the trial was sen tence to be hanged; but the man made an appeal to the governor for a pardon and was anXiously awaiting a reply thereto when his lawyer visited him in his cell.
 'T got good news for you-yery good news!" the young lawyer said, grasping the mans hand.
 Did the governor-is it a pardon?' ?'' the man exclaimed joyously.
 Well, no. The fact is the governor refuses to interfere. But an uncle of yours has died and left you $2d0, and you will have the satisfaction Of know ing that your lawyer got paid, you know" was the comforting explana- | tiOn.

A Girls Ginnln.

Samuel Shadwell, touchy old man living in an Indiana village, had a pane of glass broken in his house one night not long ago and next day he had ten-year-old girl named Minnie Dayton arrested for it.
 When the case was called in court he was asked how he knew it was Minnie. He admitted that he didn't see her, but heard her giggle. When asked if her giggle was different from that of any other girl he said it was, but he couldn't tell why. Neither could he initiate the giggle, and he lost his case.
 We all know what girls giggle is, but if any of us were asked to give an imitation of it we'd probably fail. A boy may litter, but when it comes to giggling only girl can do that.

FARMERS EDUCATIONAL
 AND
 COOPERATIVE UNION - OF AMERICA -
FARMERS ORGANIZING.
OF AMERICA

If all farmers could agree to stand they could not accomplish, both in pol ltics and business. They are being forced to organize in self-defense. Workers in every industry have unions. When employers also have associations, and with the consolida- tion of business into large enter prises, with extensive capital, it be- comes a matter of necessity that farm CTS should unite to protect their in terests. The trouble is to secure united action. The Farmers Union and the American Society of Equity, organized to protect farmers in the sale of their products, have grown phe- nomenally, and show great strength.
 The thousands who have joined this progressive movement are not asking anything unreasonable just a fair deal. Farmers often get the worst of 1t because those with whom they deal are organized, while they are not The Farmers Union now numbers 1,400,- 900 members in 23 States. The organ. ization, in it's meeting at Little Rock a few days ago. placed a 15-cent min mum price upon the new cotton crop. The farmers think that when all oth- CT products are commanding higher prices, cotton should bring 15 cents.
 If the membership of the union will stand Loyalty up to it, surprising good may flow from it.
 This paper is in sympathy with ev- cry movement among farmers to ben. eft their condition, and will be glad at all times to help them along in ev- cry good cause.-Coosa Citizen.
