who make a profit out of the use of
enormous quantities of water are prop
erly subjects for a heavy charge. But
the homes. the individual users, are
entitled to practically unlimited service
up to the capacity of the supply at
rates that will cover only the cost.
The taxpayers of the city have
bought and paid for all the water and
the distributing service in use. They
pay regularly for the maintenance and
upkeep of the plant. including interest
charges. The municipality has no more
right to use the waterworks as
money making institution than il
would have to make money from the
paved streets by charging tolls on traf-
fic. OF all things. water is the most
necessary and valuable to the health
and the comfort of the community.
Next to the air we breathe it is most
nearly indispensable, and it is the last
thing that should be placed beyond the
reach of the poorest citizen.
If any of the grafters connected with
this administration imagine they can
sneak through a meter job without pro-
test they would do well to revise that
notion. If it is necessary to increase
the revenues of the city because of ex-
travagance or Incompetence, let the
council increase its income from some
other source. Beyond the exact cost of
maintaining the water system and pay
ing interest on its cost. the water be-
longs to the people, and they will not
tolerate any subterfuge that means the
curtailment of their comfort or pen
atty for cleanliness and sanitation.

at his own expense to the Salt Lake
newspapers that he wasn't pushed out

on his own motion. He asseverates
further that he is for Smoot for SEN

To that effect.
The colonel eXcites the most ardent
admiration by his devotion to a cause.

that could be heard from Preston to

been something of sport in his callow
days. he is still game; when he finds he
has been up against a brace game, he
takes his medicine like little man and
pretends it is his pet prescription.
To be sure, some folks will think the
colonel is entirely too meek in accept
ing thus cheerfully the gait that was
hooked into his gubernatorial ambition.
but what was he to do? He couldn't
hope for anything from the Democrats.
even if he were willing to sacrifice his
political convictions; the americans
are anathema to him, and unless he
took to the woods. there was no other
resting place for him except with the
Smoot aggregation.
1t will be noticed. however, that the
colonel has not as yet expressed him
self publicly as to the late unpleasant
ness in which he was advised gently
but firmly to get off the gubernatorial
map. He had a right to expect the full
fillment of unofficial pledges that he
would get the nomination for governor.
and he had every reason to be discon-
tented with the rather undetermined
way in which he was sidetracked TO
the scrap heap. 1t is only natural,
therefore. that his loyalty to the party
should be tinged with a hue of regret
that he has been buncoed.
That. however, is a matter for the
coloneTs own meditations. If he
chooses to put up for the political sue
cess of men who value him only for his
checkbook, it is nobody else's business,
Meanwhile he is to be congratulated on
the appearance of calm he preserves as

ny of banking methods that the public
now
When John r. Walsh loaned millions
of his own banks deposits to his rail-
roads, the Republican comptroller of
the currency knew it was dangerous
for the depositors years before the
crash came. Yet there was nothing
done to protect them, there was no talk
then of reckless banking. because Mr..
Walsh owned Democratic newspaper
which fought Bryan and he was inter
ested in a Republican newspaper which
obeyed his dictation.
The New York banks which issued
millions of clearing house money. did
it on a mutual guarantee plan much
less legitimate than the plan proposed
by the Democratic convention, yet Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr. Taft had no objec-
ton On the contrary, they praised the
generosity and patriotism of the banks
which issued this private guarantee
currency and made big profits on it,
Further, Mr.. Taft overlooks the fact
that the Republicans of Kansas, who
know what the Oklahoma plan of guar
antees is doing in practice, have de-
clared for the very thing he denounces
as dangerous; and the Republicans OF
all the middle west states are for the
plan in spirit. if not in platforms
which may account for his anxiety on
the subject.

I OOkING FOR GRAFT.

Every little while for number of
years some one connected with the city
administration has bobbed up with a
plan to install water meters for all con-
sumers Usually the plea is that the
city would profit by the arrangement,
that 1t would stop the waste of water,
would furnish large additional revenue
or do something else beneficial to the
community. 1t is 10 be noted that none
OF these suggestions emanates from the
users of water and that no private in
dividual is yowling for the installation
of meters.
In one instance, easily recalled, the
chief agitator for mechanical measure
ment of water service was brought I'M
der legitimate suspicion of having a
financial, personal interest in the sale
of meters to the city. These machines
are expensive. they are handled by only
a few concerns, and fat commission
could easily be paid to city servants for
a large order without impairing the
heavy margin OF profit from the sale.
AS a matter of fact, the meter is
needed here only in connection with the
heavy commercial users of water. Of
nee buildings. machinery plants. rail-
roads, ice manufacturers and others

THE BANK GUARANTEE.

Mr. Taft is still attacking the Demo-
cratic plank on bank deposit guaran-
tees with a fervor that indicates his
alarm az the growing popularity of the
proposal. In his most recent utterance
on the subject, he says: The funda-
mental objection to the proposed plan
to guarantee deposits in national
banks. is that it puts a premium on
reckless banking and is an inducement
to reckless banking. Relieved of the re-
sponsibility to and the fear of his de-
positors, the tendency would be to in
duce exploitation, manipulation and the
use Of assets in a speculative way upon
the part of the banker"
The argument has been used and used
over until il has become tiresome. As
yet no reason has been produced for
the supposition that a guarantee plan
would not induce such strict supervi-
sion Of national banks that reckless
banking would be more difficult than it
is now. The present national bank law
provides for examination of bank Sc
curities. methods and assets on scale
that would protect depositors fairly

If every national bank knew it was
guaranteeing the deposits of other ma
tional banks. the examinations would
be genuine. there would be such scruti-

WHEN TO WIND A WATCH.

The best time to wind a watch formed a
topic of discussion at a recent meeting of
the British Watch & Clockmakers' guild,
in London, says the Theological Review.
Here is serious scientific discussion on a
subject that perhaps never receives the
slightest thought from those who own and
wind watches. Some members of the guild
advanced the theory that the winding
should be done at night, as in the morning
the handspring would be colder and more
brittle than after the watch had been car
ried about all day. Another argument
was in favor of winding a watch in the
morning, because it could then better
withstand the irregular conditions to
which it was subjected while being car
ried about during the day. A majority of
the members agreed to this view of the
discussion

IEkYLL OR HYDE?

1t would puzzle a Philadelphia law
yer to tell just which Taft is running
for the presidency: the Taft who is
going to inherit and promote Roose-
veltian policies or the Taft who is to
be so conservative that Wall street
may be assured he is innocuous and,
like the Welsh rarebit, means no
harm"
In the campaign literature now being
sent out from Republican headquarters
great care has to be exercised to pre-
vent crossed wires. Such appeals as
are designed for consumption in the
financial centers of the east portray the
Republican candidate as the conserver
of old traditions, the enemy of the fan
tastic notions advanced by Roosevelt
and La Toilette. To read this matter
one would think the cOrpulent OhiOan
spent his nights regretting the i'm
petuous actions of his patron saint and
chief, and devising ways and means to
overcome the injury he had done the
country by his disregard of the COM
monest canons of sound government.
In the west another class of litera-
ture is distributed. Here the appeal is
TO those enthusiastic reformers who
have shouted loudest and longest for
the Roosevelt they thought was going
to reform all creation. including the
trusts and corporations which have
dominated the Republican party. Taft,
in this department of the literary bu
reau, is another Roosevelt, bigger
and better edition, with all of Theo-
dore's fiery zeal for the cause of the
common people tempered by judicial
experience and a wider knowledge of
what really is needed to bring on the
millennium.
Unhappily for the literary bureau,
the reading American is going to insist
on knowing which Taft is which before
he casts his vote. VIII the national
committee choose to present the RCose-
welt edition or the Wall street edition
when it is compelled to make its
choice? Are we to believe the eastern
romance or the western fairy tale? Is
il possible the committee expects to
bunco the American people into believ-
ing that both descriptions of its candi-
date are accurate and that political
JekyIl and Hyde is a desirable man for
chief executive?
With the great issues now before the
people there can be no uncertainty as
to which Taft is running now, nor is
there much doubt now as TO his person
ality and Affiliations. He is inextricably
bound up with the special interests
that are expected to finance his cam
paign and that are the special aversion
of the common citizen who seeks no
government favors for himself. The
real candidate is in the hands of the
men who control the government and
who are determined that the people
shall not rule. He is bound by a plat
form which in effect repudiated Roose-
velt drawn by the men who tied
Roosevelt's hands in congress, and to
be financed by the interests that owe
their power and wealth to Republican
favor extended through government
agencies.
And by that same token. the real
Republican candidate is going to be
beaten
