Moro AIlont nhnds.

There appears to be mtscon-
struction Of the declination of Mr..
r. T. Lowndes to serve on the bonds
and water works coznmlssion, pro
vided for in the bond ordinance,
which Willie voted on at a special
election in January.
Mr.. Lowndes stated in his letter
of adeclination that to perform the
duties of the office would require
more time and attention than he
could give. and he was therefore I'M
able to accept it.
AS all know Mr.. Lowndes has
large business interests, which as IS
implied from his declination requires
the greater part OF MS time and at
tention, and, because of this fact he
deemed it best both for the city and
himself not to accept a trust that he
felt would require more time and at
tention than he could give.
There is nothing in the action OF
Mr. Lowndes to indicate that he was
prompted not to serve because OF
personal opposition to the bond Is
sue. On the other hand it may be
stated without fear of contrad iction
that Mr.. Lowndes rs enthusiastically
in favor of the bond issue and will
not only EolS 4OA II D"I S"iSO WIN
for 1t.
The report of the special commit
tee, on which Mr.. Lowndes served
which was accepted by the coun-
Gil, is fully approved by him as his
letter of declinatfon states. The let
ter also states that he is deeply in
terested in the improvement of the
present watr works system.
There is an impression that the
city council should have provided
for the election of a permanent water
works commission, such as the spec
lal committee in its report favored,
hut the special committee recognized
the fact that a special act of the leg
isature would be necessary to create
such an office. In other words, the
charter of the city must be amended
before that can be done. Doubtless
this will be done later and the per-
manent board established. But, to
oppose the bond issue on this ac-
count is to base ones opposition on
something that can not he provided
for at the present.
Opposition should he based on
something in reality and not upon
mere suppositions and misconstruc-
tons of other mems acts.
One good reason for opposing the
bond issue is that the residents Of
the city do not want a good service
and proper fire protection. Another
good reason is that they prefer sick
ness and death to health and life.
The sewerage system is very costly
now because of it's inadequacy. No
one knows just how many lives 1t
costs every year and none can feel
secure against it.
Perhaps, some would rather run
the risk of having their property de-
stroyed than to have a good water
supply. Others would rather grow
sick and die than have a sewerage
system that would carry OFF waste
NTH and disease.
Let every man be honest with him.
self and with his neIghbor in the
matter. The people themselves
must decide the question and no one
has the right to misconstrue another
mans actions.

The Stampede

Without substantial basis for such
belief, beyond the fact that men of

hold upon political power and influence
without struggle, the Daily News has
persistently and repeatedly predicted
that Theodore Roosevelt would again
be the presidential nominee of the Re-
publican party. o
And the action of the New Jersey
convention in voting down a Taft
resolution and urging the nomination
of Roosevelt, as told in yesterdays
dispatches, is in the opinion of many
conservative men the beginning of
the stampede, which is to eliminate

present chief executive for a second

These students did not expect to
be dragged into court to prove their
charges. They had not figured on
this annoying result at all. How
eNer, they should take it philosophic-

the witness stand.
In modern journalism editors must
be alert with substantial evidence in
support of their contentious. News
papers are the ever watchful guar
dams of the public veal They are
detectives, prosecutors and public ac-
countants. Criminals hate newspa-
pers, scheming politicians bitterly as
sail them, incompetent public officials
treat them with affected scorn. Only
the honest man with his life free from
possible entanglements looks upon the
newspapers as his friend.

have dared to do what. older men
would have hesitated to undertake.
