The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1908-12-20
Rebuke Was Bitter.

The party. after being rebuked by
the president declared his action to be
more rude than the unknowing action
of the three young women in passing
the party.
The president led in the attack on
the three girls but he was closely fol-
lowed By the other members of the
party. The rebuke given the semin-
airy girls was indulged in by the pres
ident and Miss Roosevelt. II was most
bitter and the exact nature of IL is not
definitely known.
Expressions among local citizens.
guided entirely by press accounts. are
in condemnation of the president.
They regard his action as unwarrant-
ed and ungentlemanIy even though
there seems to be written law that
the president should be the first in
thA land.

Probable Action Unknown.

What action the school officials
will take in the matter is not known
to the student body. At first the
feeling was very strong against the
president. II has subsided, but little
be growing deeper every day among
the intimate friends of the three girls.
one of whom is the local young wom-
an. that an apology should be de-
manded of the president This atti-
tude on the part of the student body
will no doubt be pressed upon the
parents during the Christmas vaca-
ton and it is very probable that the
parents will take issAe with the presi-
dent.

Story OF the Affair.

In speaking of the affair the Rich.

morning a party of three girls, with
Miss Sisson. an instructor in the
school as chaperon went horse back
riding. The seminary is about ten
minutes ride from Washington. The
members of the party We're riding
along when they saw party ahead
of them In the distance. Never think
ing for a moment that their actions
would be taken as an insult and still
less thinking that the party included
the president, his daughter. Miss
Ethel, Mrs Roosevelt, an unknown
gentleman and a grand son of u. $.
Grant, EXPIRE sident. who was acting
as guard to the party. The girls ac-
cordingly. allowed their horses free
reign and passed the unknown party.
The party Of girls was some dist
ance away from President Roose-
welt when they noticed the sound
of hoof beats behind them. One OF the
girls, who had slowed up her horse
to a walk, was nearly knocked from
her mount by the presidents rush in
TO the party She does not know
whether the presidents body struck
her or whether the horses head strik-
ing glancing blow caused. her to
her Richmond friend that the presi-
dent struck her mount with his rid
ing crop.

There is nothing nw in the report by the State Potable Water Commits
sion t. the Governor. The statistics that are presented belong to the State
Geological Survey, and the facts set forth IRE familiar to those who have
taken a studious interest in the water supply question. There has BEEN pend
ing for more than a rear the question as % whether the pan of the Geoogi-
cal Survey or that of the Flood Commission for a great impending reservoir
at Little Falls OF Mountain View, on the Passaic is preferable, but the Pota-
bic Water Commission has 10 opinion to give OF this subject Evidently it
has not given it the study demanded
without adequate storage of the waters of the Passaic region it must soon
reach the lmt. of potable water supply with the increase of population. New
ak and Jersey City are well provided in the Pequannock and Rockaway
watersheds, but in a few Yeas they will reach their maximum supply III
must look further. Newark is already providently looking ahead, and viii OBJ
tain additional watershed I'M storage capacity the State commission does o
hand the opportunity over to the East Jersey Water Company for it's private
exploitation. But a general system of storage for all the municipalities and
for future increased population is demanded, and hence the project oil the
creation II a great lake at Little Falls to catch the storm waters and i'm
pound them for potable purposes
The vita question in this connection Is whether reservoir construction at
the public cost shall be done principally for the benefit of the East Jersey
Water Company. and as long a s that question remains unsettled satisfactorily
to the public n % progress will be made in carrying out the plans projected. But
the ohciaI machinery provided by the Legislature is imperfect should be
changed in accordance with the suggestions of the Governor.
