Paradox Of the American Boy.

Paradox Of the American Boy.
In America have been confounded
by the astuteness. the intelligence. and
the zest for knowledge manifested by
boys who are leaving school and about
to enter college OF business They
know. so far as book learning goes.
far more than the average English
boy, but their ignorance OF the world

tine people if we voted bonds and
that the money spent would &C
from the public tire asury into the
pockets of the laborers and workmen
about town and by them spent
back with the business men fol
their needs and wants and that all
cities prospered with the public
moneys judiciously expended among
the workmen for public labor and
public improvement in which our
town was built up and that the
people had the money for building
1t up and that it was ours to enjoy
after building 1t.
WHY didn't the town board take
Hthe people into their confidence2
1t was they who gave them the
right to do this work.
: WHY didn't they call a public
meeting if they thought they were
unable to procure what a ex-
pected Of them!
We believe in the initiative and
referendum and the right of re-
call to stop public procedure be-
fore it has trampled under foot
the right of the people they rep
resent.
The contractors claimed in this
case, so it is said by the board,
that they would require $1,000
more than the present contract
price to put in tie reservoir in
place of the steel tank.
We don't know how much they
get for the steel tank (for we're not
on the inside) but We'll venture that
any mason contractor in the coun-
try can build the reservoir for the
$500 alone or less if the contract
ors will cut out the steel tank from
their bid and let us substitute.
What mason contractor in Valen-
tine was consulted in regard to this
work or solicited to make a bid or
even had the plans laid before him
or his attention called to the con-
tract to be let? Or who else around
Valentine had notice that there was
a contract to be let for construct
ing a dam or a reservoir?
We believe that never again
will the people of our city vote
bonds for any proposition what
soever without a clear and definite
proposition and understanding of
what the money will procure.
We hear dissatisfaction express
ed by everyone who speaks of the
matter at all but they are a-thirst
and are glad for some change
from the present rotten old tank,
though the steel tank on the hill
will be but little better and we'll
alw avs be out of water while it is
being cleaned out and no chance
in case of shortage of spring or
we'll water. to pump into a sepa-
rate tank, a supply of creek water
for %sprinkling purposes or a
reserve to quench a raging fire.

In reply to the "Quartet Fined for

sue, will say that it might seem to
some that the trouble occurred in a
drunken brawl or a crap grme, by it
being at saw mill and by SO many
being implicated. but I can truly say
that I don't drink whisky, except a
toddy occasionally, and never shot
craps or played game of cards for

over misunderstanding in a business

occurred, but such things will some
