pense of securing water from some other
 source at an expense of s50,000 CT $100,- GOO? While, as q matter of fact there is
 absolutely no danger of exhausting the present supply, if it should be discov-
 cred inadeQuats the city naturally
 would be up against the proposition of
 finding supply of water. But let us suppose that the bond issue was defeat cd and the present company continues to operate the plant and during tho dry season of the present year the discov-
 cry is made that it will be necessary to find new water supply. The company would prosecute the search at, wo will say, an expense of $50,0o0. Later, if the city decided to buy the plant isn't 1t reasonable to suppose that this ad- ditional $50,o00 would be added to the cost of the water system, and the price then would be from $210,o00 up to 8 figure equal to it's yearly enhancing value? Talk of this kind really doesn't amount to much after you reason for a time, does 1t? Let us look at the ques- ton fairly and squarely. We have a chance to acquire public utility with an earning capacity of sufficient magni- tude to preclude the possibility of an increase of taxation. Yes, even better than this. It will give to the people a magnificent sewerage system at no cost. and We will hazard the assertion that it will do all this and leave money in the city treasury for other purposes. This is simply recitation of cold facts. It would be suicidal on the cisy's part to defeat this bond issue. It would be rejecting gift actually equivalent to $200o,o0o, yea, one.half million dollars. It would give the city possession of two of its most important utilities, and blaze the way for needed improvements in every direction. If you haven't regis tered go register today and ask your friends to demonstrate their patriotism.

KING coTToN's THRONE
Is It Here, or in Lands Where He Is
 Only Visitor?

Daniel Sully in the Cosmopolitan.
 In all discussion regarding cotton, two facts are paramount-drst,t that cot ton controls the world, and, second that the nations that reap prodigal harvest from the sale of cotton goods depend upon America for the raw supply.
 The American people have begun to realize the significance in the fact that alien nations that never saw . cotton plant have long since entered the king dom of cotton and now divide dominion among themselves, excluding the United States where the cotton is grown.
 The contest among the powers today is for trade, and cotton in some form is the chief commodity carried. It is in conceivable that other natiors can go on at the expense of America winning trade triumphs with commodity which they do not naturally possess, which they cannot obtain in sufficient quanti- ties outside of the United States, and which they could not manufacture at a profit but for the fact that we sell the product near and at all times even below the cost of raising 1t.
 An analysis of this trade in cotton goods reveals that of our exports more than S6,000,000 worth consists of un- bleached cloths, while of our imports more than $22,o0o,ooo worth consists of finer fabrics, including embroideries, laces and curtains.
 Altogether, the figures show that while we exported in the ten months ended with October, 1908, $22, ,000 worth of the output of our cotton mills the nations sold to us almost 100 per cent moro than we sold to them.
 It is grotesque and almost unbe- lievable item in the commerce of this age that resourceful nation like Amer ica, the producer of the worlds cotton, should buy back s2 worth of cotton goods for every sl worth 1t sends abroad. Now is the time for American statesmen, American genius, to awaken. The dawn of the cotton century is here.

From the New Yoil1 San.
 It was announced yesterday that the moving picture manufacturers had formed a board of censors of their own to see that no objectionable films are made, and that this board would work in conjunction with the board made up of representatives of societies which have been taking an active interest in the crusade against indecent pictures.
 The Motion Pictures Patents com pany, which controls the principal film patents, has formed it's own board of censors, which will be made up of a member for each manufacturer in the company. According to the plan as an nounced by the company, the two sets of censors will meet and examine every new film that is produced. All subjects that are deemed objectionable will be

IS THERE A TRUE LOVE TODAY

IS THERE A TRUE LOVE TODAY?
 A Western bishop was asked by a young reporter whether, deep in his heart, he still believed there was such a thing left in the world as true and holy love.
 He was an over-wisc bishop, so he told tho boy reporter to go to the peui- tentiary records for his answer.
 The laws of most states provide that wife may secure divorce from con vict-husband merely by going into court and showing that her husband is serving in the penitentiary.
 The reporter went to the state prison at Fort Madison, Iowa, and found what do you suppose he found?
 How many wives do you think will stand the last test of faithfulness7 How many wives do you think, through your experience and reading. will lay down pride and prejudice and all the feelings that poison woman's mind against g convict, follow husband to the prison door, kiss him goodby and patiently await his return?
 Tn spite of the sordid records of the divorce courts of Iowa, the stories of wifabeating you read in your news paper every night, the tales of afinities and faithless spouses, 75 per cent of the wives of prisoners who are committed to Fort Madison remain faithful to them through their term of service, and re- join them when the convict leaves the prison to begin life anew.
 Love-not tho love Of "Three Weeks ''-the love that gives you pic tnre Of woman, bowed with years and hardship, tested by sorrow, burned by disgrace-isn't dead yet, when these figures can be true.
 And when the next cynical reader Of BalEac and De Maupasant and other French iconoclasts tell you that wifely love is a hollow mockery, tell him the story that the young reporter found in the records of an Iowa penitentiary.

SCIENCE or MOTOR TOURING
Many Americans Find Motoring Best
 Way to Travel

From the Review of Reviews.
 Learning to tour is an educational matter that has been neglected. Too many automobiles have acquired the de- sire to go without having learned how to travel. Extensive tours have broad ening influence. They teach people how to take things as they are. The frst long trip of the amateur tourist is often a failure. He expects too much, talks too much, or works too much, to got the full enjoyment out of the journey.
 The hard-and-fast schedule, with yre- determined stations, may be all right in railway procedure. The joy of motor ing is freedom from the tramnels cf other kinds of travel, This means freo- dom from baggage, dress, conventional ity, and time tables. The road that everybody takes is dusty. Each year thousands of families learn that there is great new kind of pleasure ill driv- ing about on unaccustomed highways among unaccustomed sights. Hundreds of American families now take thir mo- tor cars to Europe for tours of from 5000 to 10000 miles, which get them into closer touch with the Old World than would be possible in any other way. One family has crossed the cont nent from the Pacific. to the Atlantic coast, feat previously accomplished only by factory drivers.
 There is a good way to tour ard good way to use an automobile as 6 town carriage. Knowing the distinc- tion is great part of knowing each. The rest of the knowledge is partly common sense and partly keeping the proper focus on the mechanics, up-kcop, and driving of car under the circum- stances which govern individual exper- fence. The best information is not in books. It is on the road and in repair bills that are studied with careful con sideration of cause and effect.

HERE ARE THE FACTS


 The water company does not care to sell its plant at the optional price of Sl60,00O. It would prefer .o see the bond issue defeated and the word passed to the world that Globs has vot cd against municipal ownership of pub lie utilities. The company feels satis- fed that if the bond issue is defeated that it will enjoy peace for few years and continue to pile up big profits.
 Yesterday stockholders of the con- pany were busy circulating a story to the effect that the company had never declared dividend, and that 1t would be shame to hang such big indebted ness on the city. It is absolutely true that the company has i,ever declared a dividend. But let us explain this mat ter. It is also practically true that not one of the present stockholders ever placed dcnar in the plant. Hero is the story in nutshell. Five years ago the plant had simply nominal value so far as the real plant was concerned. It was 2 very prolific producer of coin, however, and the earnings of the busi- ness were put into extensions and i'm provements, and stock issued to the old holders. To plainly illustrate this point We will state that in 1903 there were ten stockholders in the company holding an equal number of shares. We will presume that the earnings during that year were S40,000 net. The town was growing rapidly and the capacity Of the plant was inadequate to supply the de mand. It was decided to enlarge and extend the system. The Slo,ooo earn inss of the year were employed in mak- ing these improvements and S4,0O0 in new stock was issued to each of the ten holders. This line of procedure has been practiced by the company for mum ber of years past. Starting with abso- lutely nothing they have a plant today actually worth s25o,0oo of any man s money, which was builded from the I earnings of this plant during the past five years. This is plain statement of | fact. No effort will be made to contro- | vert it. As stated yesterday the water works system of Globe is veritable | mint, and it is not a reckless assertion | to make that the plant will pay interest | and principal on the proposed bond issue and leave surplus in the treasury for other improvements.
 The figures are to be had from our sister cities-Trcson and Phoenix. The entire municipal government of Fargo, North Dakota, is practically maintained by the revenues from the water plant. The same story comes from hundreds of other cities throughout the United States.
 THERE IS TO DOUBT ABOUT THE COMPANY HAVING A SUPPLY OF A PERMANENT SUP PLY SUFFICIENT FOR A CITY or sO,oOo PEOPLE.
 The Silver Belt has investigated this question carefully and no apprehension need be felt along this line President Porter, in an interview few months ago, described the supply as Ian ocean of water" The new well affording this additional supply was brought in at the of the dry season. It is per msnent, it is inexhaustable, and it is the finest water running through the pipes of any water plant in the world. But says the skeptic, supposing this water supply should become exhausted, the city be up against the ex-

It was declared by the company that of the 1000 theaters holding it's licenses noth- ing but clean and instructive pictures would be produced, special attention being paid to historical moving picture plays. The censors are to get to work immediately.

BOOKS IN SOFT v E

Among the distinctive branches
recognized in the b~ookbinding industry
should be mentioned that of flexible
work, being the class of books bound
in what is known as limp or soft COW
ers. Years ago this style of binding
was seldom used except on Bible and
hymnal work and a principally done
abroad, but it is now employed very
generally on ell classes of books, both
for library and commercial purposes
as it makes a decidedly neat, attractive
and strong binding
1t has been gradually growing in
favor. due in great measure to the fact
that a few of the larger binders in this
country have made a special study OF
this particular branch of the trade, en-
ploying skilled labor and special ma
