AQUEDUCT BEING PUSHED.

The prospect is that the North Tenn
pie street aqucduct will be completed
10 the Fair Grounds within ten days.
That insures that 10 such damage Will
occur to property on the west side. next
spring as has characterized every sea
son of high water since this valley was
settled and people began TO live over
on the west side.
This presents an entirely new siiua-
ton in the life of the west side. and
incidentally it sets the people out there
in an array of contemptuous indiffcr-
cncc toward the claims Of the obstruc-
lionists who arc now asking citizens
in that vicinity TO give them
chance - IT is true that these fcl.
lows have not always sailed under the
same party name rs now, nor has their
emblem Of professed faith toward the
people s interests always looked as
ii looks now; but they arc the same
men who. for a period which may be
measured by the life of this commun-
ity, have persistcntly refused TO give
TO the west sidcrs the relief that they
have obtained from the American party
within the past year.
1t is impossible for the church politi-
clans, no matter by what party name
| they may call themselves, TO convince
the west slider that the. record Of this
Que year s work by the American party
is not better than that Of the whole
career of the entire outfit of church
| Politicians-cvcn if they want TO count
back as far as July "a. ls47, which
they recognize as Pioneer day. The
reason for that is the fact that since
! lS47 west sdcrs have suffered immense
annual damage from City Creek floods.
They have implorcd the political man
ipulators TO give them relief: and these
men have taken taxes paid by west
siders and expended them in yicinities
where church dignitaries held property,
or where the Mormon church has had
its own realty interests.
1t has always been the policy OF
these prestlv politicians 10 expcnd the
public money where il would do the
Ihicrarchical bosses the most personal
lprivaIe good. thereby procuring for
themselves reelection under the favor
Of these bosses. II has happened that
the hicrarchs have not lived on tho
west side--thev considered it too low
. quarter for their dignificd presence
And so it has been that The west side
has suffered from one year 10 auotheI
for sixty years, until in one year the
American party has given them tb,
relief that has been prayed for in all
Of that time.
, If the Mormon people of the wcst
! side believe in the efficacy of PRAYER
they surely must now recognize TN,

ROAD COMPLAINS
ABOUT FARMERS
GROWING WEEDS
Companies Clear Right Of Way,

Des Moines. Ia, July 5.-The usual

Iowa and Illinois railroad today asked
the railroad commission to make the
formers cut The weeds in their fields
Usually. the railroad is the derelict
and the Iowa legislature had to pass
law compelling the railroads to keer
their right OF way free from noxious
weeds and imposing it on the railroad
commission to enforce the law.
Today the commission received n let

they are keeping their weeds down,

readily seen that there is little gained
by the railroad keeping the weeds
down unless the farmers keep them out
of their fields and from along thu
fences The farmers ought to keer
the weeds down along the highways
adjoining their own land. for they will
scatter there as we'll as anywhere. Il

MAYOR DENIES
The CHARGE OF
BEING DRUNK
Says Cosson Law Does Not
Affect Him Because He Was
Sober When Accused.

Des Moines, Ia, July 3.--An absolute
f.nial of the charges. of intoxication
urged against him by the citizens OF
from the Office OF mayor is made by
a. NJ. Henderson, who yesterday filed
his answer to the charges. Effort Is
pciag made to remove Henderson from
office under the provisions of the Cos
son law passed by the Thirty-third
general assembly authorizing the re-
moval OF any officer OF police power
provided charges OF sufficiently seri-
Gus nature can be proven against him.
Henderson denies specifically that he
was intoxicated on any of the dates
named in the original charges, ais
though he admits the use of intoxicat-
jng liquors on those dates, on dates
previous and at the present time. He
alleges that he was elected to office
with the voters knowing that he was
"a drinking man. he claims that his
drinking was made an issue of the
campaign and that in spite of this fact
he was chosen Mayo.
/. He now claims that the new law can
In no wise affect him, as he was elect
ed to office prior to it's passage. He
further alleges that the new law is
UNCONSTITUTIONAL as it prohibits trial by
jury.
From the tenor of Henderson's reply
it is evident that he has no scruples
about the use of Intoxicating liquor
and that he believes he cannot be re-
moved from office. Affidavits have been
introduced stating that Henderson has
been in constant state of drunken-
ness for weeks at time and that he
was ousted from n church to which he
once belonged on the ground OF drunk
ennesS.
His case was originally set for June
10, and later for June IS, having been
postponed on account of injuries re-
ceived by Mayor Henderson in the in
term. 1t is understood that he will be
able to stand trial in a few days and
that his case will be tried by District
Judge Byron w. Preston, of Oskaloosa.
