which had become more and more
equal, the tendency has been re-
versed? The explanation is the
change to the rule of the few, pointed
out in paragraphs eight to eleven.
But you, Mr.. Secretary, while de-
crying the presence OF swollen for.
tunes, such as the world has never
before witnessed, ask the people tc
leave in place the existing rule-of-
the-few and vote to continue in pow-
e. the same party machine! 1t has
not protected the peoples interests;
1t is only the chief executive who is
calling for square deal. 1t is quite
probable that the democratic ma
chine would do no better, for it is
the system that is wrong. But when
the people elect candidates pledged
to establish a direct vote system for
public questions there will quickly
be a change. Then practically all
the men elected to office will be such
as will really protect the people 's
interests, as is evidenced by the work
of the constitutional convention in
Oklahoma.
You openly claim that the people
of this country are not fit to rule.
Instancing tariff law with 1000
items as an example of a measure
which the people are unfit to say
should or should not become a law.
Our answer is that if a majority
of the voters desire to veto proposed
tariff law they should possess that
right. Unquestionably If a tariff
bill should be vetoed the revised bill
when passed would more surely pro-
mote the public welfare. The exist
ing and long continued evils in our
tariff and railroad systems complete
ly demonstrate that it is not enough
that we, the people, shall "possess
the opportunity to retire a represen-
tative who fails to be truly represen-
tative." We have only a choice be-
tween party machines. If what you
state were true there would exist
none of the crying evils which you
yourself have described. The people
most certainly wish for more than a
choice between the rule of Cne or the
other of the parry machines, and it
is our belief that al the 1908 election
more than majority of the voters
will so register their will.

Geo. H. Shibley Addresses an Open Letter to
Secretary Taft.
The Secretary Candidate is Called Down for His Col
umbus and Oklahoma Speeches by the Presi-
dent Of the National Federation for
Peoples Rule. 'Tis the Only
Escape From Corrupt1
Machine Rule

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 90
The following open letter to Hon
VIM. Fl. Taft, who is designated as
candidate for the Presidency of the
United States" has been given to the
press.
Dear Sir: Day before yesterday
read for the first time your Column
bus speech and the day before per-
used your Oklahoma City speech. The
reason for the delay in reading them
is that l have been away on brief
vacation. In behalf of the National
Federation for Peoples Rule. which
last year in cooperation with the
American Federation of Labor pledg-
ed 40 of the present members OF
congress to vote for the immediate
establishment of direct vote system
for national questions. l herewith
reply to your attack on the iniative
and referendum.
You do not describe the system nor
tell what it is accomplishing. Why
this omission? 1t must be that had
you done so it would have injured
your case. The system exists in Ore
gon, Montana and South Dakota, as
you we'll know, and is being adopt
ed in Maine, Delaware, Ohio, Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma, Utah and North
Dakota, with unanimous vote in
the Pennsylvania House of Repre-
sentatives. There certainly is suf-
ficient history to which you might
have referred.
Furthermore, you misdescribe the
existing system of government. You
say that it is Representative govern
ment" and that it has served us we'll
for 1870 years."
We submit that the existing sys-
tenn in his country is not represen-
tative government, but machine rule;
and that it has not existed for 1870
years
Facts in proof of these claims are
presented and the Federation con-
tinues:
Necessarily these facts square with
other historical facts. For example,
they explain the presence of swollen
fortunes. The gigantic centraliza-
tion of wealth is noted by you, Mr.
Taft, in your Columbus speech, but
instead of tracing out it's cause you
carefully steer away from it. Why
this shyness? And in another place
you claim that the existing system
of government has 'served us we'll. +"
Is this consistent? How is it that

THE WATER PROBLEM.
CLAMOR FOR Water may CAUSE
SERIOUS MISTAKES.
An Erroneous Opinion Prevailing
About Present Source of Supply.
Plenty of Water There for Ten
Years, When City Will be in Posi-
tiOn to Get Good Supply.

The fact that shortage OF water sup
ply has existed for few weeks each of
the past three summers, has led many,
who have been annoyed thereby, to con-
clude that the fault laid with the ecant
flow OF water in the creeks depended
upon for the supply. This has occasioned
a demand for relief, either by sale Of Il 9
system or by building to q new source Of
supply.
The HERALD believes that either OF
those plans would be decidedly unwise
vt this time, and believes there 10 a suffi.
cient supply at the present loca ton for
the next ten years-if it is properly
managed. The opinion that this source
is scant is pure presumption, based upon
the fact that the higher lands of the city
are insufficiently supplied. It is difficult
for one to imagine that, with plenty Of
water. those people should be subjected
to Inconvenience for several years, yet
such is the fact. No competent authority
has ever pronounced this supply short,
It the waste water during nine or ten
months was stored for use in the few
weeks the creeks are low.
A storage reservoir, sanitary in all re-
spects, can be built on hill high enough
to serve all the city by gravity, for less
than $4,000, that will hold 10000, 900
gallons, two weeks supply for all tina
part OF the city north Of the Chehalis
river. Another $4,000 will build an.
other system for South Aberdeen, and
81, 900 will overhaul and put in gocd re.
pair every foot of mains in in the city j.,
90 that for $25 900 Aberdeen will be
fixed for water for ten years, allowing
the same ratio Of growth as the past like
period. with the possible exception Of
building more storage reservoir room.
The plan mooted by some members of
the council. to lay pipe line to the wy.
nooche river along the county road, aud
pump to a reservoir on Dabney hill, is
Objectionable even if it was necessary.
An estimate OF the cost OF this work is
given at 1920, 900, although it is safe to
assume that $3.50, 900 would be consumed
before it was in running order. This is
entirely too much money to spend in an.
other temporary system, and that is just
what it would prove.
From present Indications, it is not
wild figuring to assume that within ten
years there will be $4,000 people within
the borders Of Aberdeen, and that it's
assessed valuation-and borrowing power
will have quadrupled. In that cond;-
ton the city would be justified in a large
expenditure for permanent water sup-
ply, and would seek gravity supply to
escape the enormous expense Of pump
ing. Such a supply could be had from
the upper Wynooche.-about the canyon
or from Lake Quinault, where the cost
of laying and maintaining the mains
would be all the expense, so that con-
sumers would not be, as at present,
compelled to pay higher rate than those
in any city in the United States, which
owns its own system.

THE SUNDAY LID.
Clerks Union Would Rivet 1t Down
and ClinCh RivetS.

dn0 N1lnCn klVGfS.
A warrant was sworn out in Judge
Fox's court Saturday for City Council
man A. E. Alexander, of the clothing
firm OF Alexander & Mcbride, for vio-
lating the Sunday closing law, and the
case was set for trial October s.
The complaint was made by the presi-
dent of the Clerks Union, Which body
seems determined to enforce the law
against all businesses except cigar stol es
pool rooms, confectionery and drug
stores, and the outcome is awaited with
considerable interest.
1t is thought the Reagan, case, from
Hoquiam, will be heard in the superior
court before the Alexander matter comes
up, and, as the former case is pretty sure
to 60 to the supreme court, the latter
case may not be pushed until the validity
OF the law is passed upon by the higher
court.
In any event, the last case will be con-
tested to the court OF final resort, and in
it MIR. Alexander has with him the A Aber-

Beyond this amount the magistrate
had TO bind the prisoner or prisoners
