PRAISE FOR INDUSTRY.
Tribute That Has Been Framed in
Gilt and Blue.

Some furiously industrious indt-
viduaI is doing an editorial stunt for
the Abilene Reflector. That beauti-
full and accomplished paper used to
print about two editorial paragraphs
a day, and they usually treated OF
pink pills or liver pads. Nowadays
the paper prints four or five columns
of seething stuff in every issue
EmpOria Gazette.
As this is the first acknowledge
ment in some twenty years that any
body around the Reflector office has
received for industry It has been
framed and hung on the sunniest
wall. of the editorial room just below
the -prettiest mural painting and
where the costliest oriental rug best
shows its colors. 1t may be the last
tribute Of the kind and should be
duly appreciated.

TEST WELL A SUCCESS.
Harrington Has Hope Again Of Good
Water.

HeTlngton Sun: The test well
sunk by the city on the Creech land
in the southwest part of town proved
successful, good water being reached
at eight feet. The water tested good
and was found to be only one-fifth
as hard as that from the present
well at the light plant. 1t is net
generally known what good water
will mean for Harrington. 1t It can
be found 1t will mean that the water
department will be run at. a profit
instead of at a loss as is now the
case. The Rock Island and Missouri
Pacific will use 1t then to say moth
ing Of the many citizens who viii use
city water when good water Is fur
nished. 1t is also stated on good
authority that the Rock Island will
locate It's back shops here II good
water Is found. That will mean an
increase in the pay roll Of $4,000
per month with a corresponding In
crease In business about town. W.
hope that the well to be dug adioin
ing the test well will bring forth a
good water as the test wen does, Al
OF course 1t will.

MAY VIOLATE THE LAW.
Farmers Who Sell "Spuds" by the
BusheI Liable to Arrest.

The farmers who ellsweet pota-
toes from the corners of the streets
may not realize 1t, but 1t is said that
they are violating the pure food laws.
These farmers sell the sweet pota-
toes by measure. The law says that
bushel Of potatoes, half bushel or
a peck or any other amount must be
sold by weight-and not by measure.
Consequently, If an inspector happens
in here some day when these farmers
are selling by measure, arrests will
likely follow.

 ous as carriers of disease that you should fight for their exclusion from your home as you would against wild beasts seeking your life," declares Ed R. Pritchard. Secretary of the De- paFtment of Health, Chicago
 Flies are the dirtiest and filthiest of all vermln. They are born in filth. The manure pile, the garbage can and the outdoor vault produce 99 per cent of all the house flies in existence. They carry millions of dis ease germs on their feet. Study their habits just a little bit and you will be convinced. The fact is, the fly is so unspeakably nasty that If is impossible to tell you all the nasty or leaving his feast of the carcass of a horse or dog to sample all the good things you have on your dining room table He will crawl all over the but ter or obllgingly tumble into the babys milk with his germ-laden feet; eSCAplnB tHI5 lalCg no ulOcIb HIS end in your tea or coffee, Rest as- sured that if you permit flies to have the freedom of your home you will actually eat the filth which they de. posit on whatever they touch.

If the twisted sides indicated that the explosion was from within. there would stnl be some ground for maintaining that a submarine bomb communicated the shock which exploded the ship's ma agssins. Thus the discussion. seem insiy. Is destined to so on indefinitely whatever the raising of the wreck
 might seem to show"
 And there is just the dilemma our government is in, and the reason there has been so much hesitation and delay about raising the wreck. It would bs foolish to argue that the engineering skill of the day is not sufficient 10 do the work If 1t should be determined on, for 1t would be foolish to doubt the practicability of such a feat in this age of great achievement. It Is not postponed through fear that 1t cannot bo done, but through fear of the de- veIopments that might ensue. If the wreck were raised. and the proof should be found indisputable that the vessel was wrecked by an explosion from the inside. then 1t would be dif- ficult to avoid the conclusion that the spaniards or the Spanish government had nothing to do with 1t. and as . consequence our government charged them wrongfully and our war with Spain was unjustifable and indefens- ible.
 This. we say. Is the conclusion that would be reached by any unpreJudieed unenviable position of having made a grave and falss charge against a friendly nation. forcing that nation in- to an unjust war. and robbing 1t of It's territory. And this. in our judgment, Is why there has been SO much un- willingness to have the wreck raised. The line of argument suggested by The Union is that if if were shown that the wreck was caused by an er- plosion from the inside there would still be some ground for claiming that suDmarine Donp communicated tne shock which exploded the ships mag azine'
 That argument is farfstched and would hardly convince any one ex- cept those who wanted to be convinced that no blame attaches to our govern. ment for all that followed the unfor. tunate occurrence, But there are those who would take that view ana thus. as The Union says, the discus sion would not come to an end. tur judgment is that the wreck of the ill., fated vessel will remain where 1t ia and no attempt be made to raise 1t or to get at the truth. Pernaps that is about the best thing that could be de- cided on, after all.

EprroRrAL nArHINe suIrs.

The Talladega Reporter, very perti- nently suggests that Editor Hall or Editor Deal submit some specifications on the bathing suits that the Alabama editors are expected to wear when they get to St. Andrews Bay. The Talla- 0sRa editors. it says. are impersonally interested in the frock coat embargo but they would like to have some of neial information on the matter of bathing suits. Nor is the thirst for in- formation on this point confined to ed- ators of The Reporter and The Noun tain Home. A lot of these inland rais- win have to wear when they get to the sandy stretch and see tho surf break ing at their feet.
 Without having obtained reliable in- formation from Dothan, we heverthe- less feel safe in saying that the bath ing suits these editors wore when they lived on the farm and went in wash in on the creek will never do. If any one of them expects to hop into the surf wearing what he wore when as a boy he ran down to the creek and dived off the bank. he is going to be sadly disappointed.
 But this is no idle question. What itorsF
