If He Had Kept Out of Politics.

IT lie Had Kept Ont of Politics.
tom Watsons new book, WATERLOO is
out. If it's as good as his Story Of France it
is cheap at the price, whatever it is. We hon
estly believe Mr.. Watson would have wrought
much more for good in this world if he had
kept out of politics and applied himself more
to literature"
So says our friend, the Washington, D. c.,
Herald.
But if Mr. Watson had kept out of politics
he would never have written book. He
would have gone earning big fees, specu-
lating in land, pi1ing thousands upon thou
sands, until he became a millionaire. Then,
having accumulated one million dollars, he
would have started out brskly to make an
other; and Death, coming around in due time,
would have interrupted him in the count of
his money.
If Mr. Watson had kept out of politics he
would never have known what it is to go
through the mill He would never have known
what it means to attack established wrongs;
never could have understood how the scream
of oppressed humanity appeals to the soul Of
those who will listen to it; never could have
understood the motives and the feelings of
those champions Of the common people whose
willingness to live and die for an idea gives
to the civilization of today everything of value
that it possesses.
To understand those who have suffered one
must suffer. The quality which gives "The
Story Of France" its distinctive place in the
minds of those who have read it is due to the
fact that it's author did go into politics. did
fight the battle of the oppressed did 60 down,
under criminal Methods in political and fnan-
Cial ruin, did endure the almost maddening in
justice and cruelty Of those who held the reins
of power.
Seeking to illustrate historically the manner
in which Special Privilege runs the machinery
of government for the benefit of the Few and
thus brings about the impoverishment, degra-
dation and desperation of the Many, Mr.. Wat
son wrote for the old Peoples Party Paper
those sketches which gradually broadened into
little book which caught the attention of
Hon. Wharton Barker of Philadelphia. Mr..
Barker was SO deeply interested that he, in
turn, enlisted the interest of Mr.. Geo. P. Brett,
the President of the American branch of the
Mcmillan Publishing Company. The net re-
suit was the two large volumes to which the
Herald alludes.
Without his political tragedy it is certain
that the author of "The Story of France"
would never have written book.

CITY WATER SUPPLY
IS AGAIN EXHAUSTED
Pumping System suspenJs
Operations Until Another
Stagnant Pool is Found.

The city water supply was again
exhausted Saturday morning asa re-
suit of the long drought. and it be-
came necessary to suspend operations
at the city pumping station on the
West Fork river.
For some time Superintendent
Callaghan has had to resort to ahxil-
liary pumps and pipes for the pur-
pose of pumping water from pools
in the river down to the pumping
station. These pools are being rap.
idly exhausted and 1t is necessary to
extend the auxiliary pipes farther
and farther up the river. Another
such extension had to be made Sat
urday morning.
Superintendent Callaghan is nego-
tiating with the owners of the West
Milford dam in the West Fork with
the object of getting the supply OF
water behind that dam down to the
pumping station.

There has never been a Republican
