New plan which his people are to sab

would NOT consider the original Ro

provided for a system Of wafer works
for the city. and for this reason Ro-

make rand new proposition to In.
,l1de a water element.
Tho proposition or, in fact, there

city either acquire the present water

that II is undcmocratic to impose pro.

THE HAYWOOD VERDICT.

1t was not tho unexpected that
happened when the jury in the Hay
wood case brought In verdict of
not guilty. II there was any surpris-
INK thing about the verdict It WIS
that tho jury did not reach MI agree
ment sonncre than II did. Tho ac
quittal was not looked for because
there was any general feeling that
Haywood was Il man spotlcss in
character and reputation and even,
above committing the crime with
which he was charged, but it wouid
bo almost incomprchcnsiblc TO see
how jury could send man To tho
gallows on the testimony of man
who by his own confession has done
everything in tho criminal line from
stealing sheep To taking human lives.
There must have been II great deal
that WAS truthful In tho story of
Harry Orchard, for no man of ordi-
nary ability-and that Is all that Or
chard Is II he Is that-could have
framed such story and stuck 10 IL
through ncrcilcss cross examination
without making II sad mess of 1t.
III II NIL was the fancy of mad brain
there would have been contradictions
on the part of Orchard. There were
of course dcnials OF the story and
likewise corroborations, the form
en- being in the majority. but just the
same thorc must have been some
truth for the base of all that Orchard
told. The jury realized this undoubt-
eddy but at the Same time no II
Americans could convict on the tes-
timony of II man of tho Orchard typo.
That would be against human nature,
Mt least in the United States. The
law does not take much account OF
the witness character. but the jury
does. 1t is I'M Instance of where
human nature Is higher than the
law
II is announced that the colleagues
of Haywood will be placed ON tria
despite the acquittal of Haywood. Il
is to be hoped that either the State
or the defense will by the time Tho
next trial occurs secure some new
evidence that will clear up the whole
4 miserable situation. . ASS 1t stands
nov it is known that a horribl'
crime was committed against socict!
and also that tho mine owners were
not ovcrscupulous in their trcatmcn
of the mine workers. There seem!
to be no doubt but that both sides
waged warfare against law and so
oiety and while it occurred in IA
away Idaho the whole people of this
country arc more than eager to have

WAVE OF PROHIBITION IN THE
SOUTH.

The Georgia Senate by vote of "a
to has passed stringent prohibi-
tion bill, and 1t is said that poll of
the members of the House shows
that more than twothirds of them
are in favor of the measure and will
promptly pass 1t when it reaches that
body. The bill prohibits the sale
or barter of any kind of intoxicating
liquors, or the giving of it away in
any place OF business for the pur-
pose of inducing trade. nor can ii
be furnished or kept in stock at any
public place The act also prohibits
the manufacture of liquor with the
