BY requesting Mayor Wilson to investigate the
charges voiced by Commissioner Knox of extrav-
agance and mismanagement in the Water Depart
ment's affairs, City Council has acted promptly
and in a manner that should meet with public
approval. Councilman White in offering a reso-
luton providing for an inquiry, emphasized that
he was acting in good faith, and doubtless the
mayor will conduct his inquiry in the same good
faith and with an idea of conserving an economi-
cal management of the Water Department

PROGRESSIVE FARMERS.

a S AN agricultural community Lancaster
IA county, Pa, ranks at the top Of the list A
Farmers League has been organized in the
county which proposes to advance the interests
socially and financially Of the members The
league intends to introduce high-bred stock
throughout the county, and lectures upon agri-
cultural topics will be heard. Lancaster county
already has much high-bred stock, and the fact
that the farmers are improving in this line shows
how important they regard good live stock. The
league proposes TO make arrangements whereby
the farms will be supplied with electric power in
the near future. Several abandoned flour mills
will be converted into plants for generating elec-
tric power for the farms.
The question Of securing better seed for the
farmers also is being agitated Scientific cultiva-
ton Of test seeds has been planned and these
seeds will be distributed among the farmers. To
solve the farm labor problem an effort will be
made to bring workers from Europe.
The Lancaster farmers propose to improve so
cia life in the country, as lack Of social attrac-
tons has been given as one of the potent reasons
why the young people leave the farms for the
cities.

PARTISAN CRY.

THERE is cry that the Republicans arc
i doing this, that and the other thing that
they propose to convert the Water Department
into political organization.
II the Republican organization has such ideas
or has had them, it has been unsuccessful ~
pushing its plans. The Republicans, although
they are majority in the city and IN the ota.s'
,,s,-e not converted the Police Department or the
Street and Sewer Department into political or
ganizations. and we have no notion that they pro-
pose TO make a political machine out OF the

DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN.
Douglas of Massachusetts, Slated for
the Position.

Lincoln, Neb., July 24.-The polit-
ical situation In the South was the
subject of a prolonged discussion be-
tween William j. Bryan and Josephus
Daniels, national committeeman from
North Carolina In view of the claims
of the Republicans, as reflected from
Hot Springs, Va, that they were
counting on the states of North Caro-,
lima, Georgia and Virginia In the com.
ing election, considerable importance
was attached to the visit. The conclu-
sion was reached, however, that those
three states were impregnable against
Republican assault.
The craftsmanship of the national
committee also was talked over, Mr.
Daniels being a member Of the sub
committee which will select the man
who is to conduct the campaign. For
mer Governor William l.. Douglas oi
Massachusetts continues to be looked
upon as the new chairman OF the com
mittee, but the selection Is beint
guarded with such secrecy as to make
1t impossible to get confirmation o.
the report that he will be chosen.
