BROKEN PROMISE TO

Davis, naming $4,000 as a likely
amount to salve her injured feelings.
She alleges that Davis induced her to

promise that he would marry her.
The prospects of future happiness he
held out did not materialiZe. She says
that instead of marrying her the two
lived together in Tacoma, San Fran

time promising but never actually
marrying her. Finally, she claims, he
sent her away to her friends in Idaho

WILL SHOW WHO Is RIGHT.

The investigation of the condition
of the property of the Northwest Light
& Water company by City Engineer
Doolittle and the council is the best
move that has been made looking to
the ultimate ownership of the NUM-
cipalitys water system. 1t will clear
up the atmosphere and show whether
the price asked by the company is in
excess of its real value. 1t will also
determine whether or not the system
is worth purchasing, or in other words
whether its acquisition will be a per-
manent asset to the city. Superinten-
dent Arrowsmith says that it furnishes
the only method of corroborating or
refuting his statement of the situation
and his candor in this particular is 60
ing a long way toward the amicable
adjustment of the problem which has
been a bone of contention in the city
for years.
The Herald is unqualifiedly in favor
of a municipality owned water system.
Furthermore, ii is in favor of acquiring
a system at once because it is of the
opinion that the water problem is
the Invest question that confronts the
municipality at this time. Other things
being equal the Herald is in favor of
the acquisition of the present com
panys property at a price that is rea-
sonable. There is no use of trying to
buy something for nothing, but on the
otherhand it is folly to pay an exor-
bitant figure for a plant the condition
of which is not known and the future
usefulness of which IS in doubt. The
engineers investigation will establish
these points beyond cavil or contro-
versy. If the mains are found to be
in excellent condition as Mr. Arrow
smith contends, perhaps it will be ex-
pedient for the city to raise it's esti-
mate of the value of the property as
set forth in its first offer to the water
company. If the mains are in a poor
and unsatisfactory condition, perhaps
Mr.. Arrowsmith will admit that his
estimate is too high. The investiga-
ton should be thorough and painsta-
King enough to determine.

WHEN A MAN TRIES TO BE \
CORPORATION.

Each of us has within him two
Identities.
First, there is the physical self
the animal.
Second, there Is that self that dis
tinguishes us from all other animals
the mental man. There Is no need
of discussing here the question as to
whether the mental self is again di-
visible into a thinking self and
spiritual self (souD.
The animal man or physical self is
merely the human body with all its
marvellous machinery for renewing it
self and keeping alive. The physical
body also prepares the food for our
brains and keeps alive our nerves and
thinking apparatus.
Our mental self is a sort of an aris-
tocrat, and it often treats our physi-
cal self most shamefully. 1t regards
the body much as kings and princes
and Aldriches and Morgans regard
common workday people. That is, it
compels the body to work and pay
taxes Gin nourishmenD to brain and
nerves and in return it pays the least
possible wages and demands the long
est possible hours.
For the wages of the physical body
are food, air. relaxation. rest, sleep.
And as a king, for his amusement
or ambition. sends his troops tramp
ling across the grain fields of the
common people, so the mental mar,
for his pleasure, sends the poison of
liquor and tobacco sweeping over the
work places of the physical body.
And as land thieves and trust build
ers take more than their share of the
fruits of natures bounty, so the
mental man, with restless brain, robs
the blood, or life current, of more
than its share of nourishment.
The result? The body. overworked
and underfed, can no longer pay its
taxes of nourishment to the brain. it

READY.

Among the lively and important
scrimmages of the autumn, one of the
most significant promises to take place
on our western coast. Francis ]. Hen
ey is just now the object of a wide
spread newspaper attack. Its source
is Patrick Calhouns literary bureau.
An attempt is made to show something
illegitimate in Heneys relations with
the federal government. Should not
Calhoun avoid comparison of past
judicial records? The present cam
paign against Heney is made. of
attention from Calhoun and the
question Of his guilt or innocence. 1t
is an old trick of defendants with
means to create popular feeling
Heney's record is safe. Three years
OF bitter attack have failed to dis
lodge him from public confidence. He
will probably be a candidate in the
fall for District Attorney of San Fran
cisco. On the result of his candidacy
Will to no small extent depend the
level of esteem in which San Francisco
will in the future be held by the coun-
try at large Already Calhoun's prom
inent sympathiZers are declaring in
San Francisco that eastern capital-
lists have announced they will avoid
San Francisco so long as the prosecu-
ton of the "higher-ups' continues
Among all the silly arguments that a
discredited cause puts forth this is
among the most familiar. If the vari-
Gus cities of the country would look
to the nomination and election of
prosecuting attorneys of the uncom-
promising type of Heney and Langdon.
we Americans should not be compel
led to explain why municipal dishon-
esty has among us such an ascendency
as to require popular upheavals for
its overthrow. Heney has cleared the
moral atmosphere of San Francisco.
Before his advent petty corruption had
so woven itself into the fabric of the
body polite that it was scarcely pos
sible to secure even a transcript of a
public record without bribing an Of
fetal. BY the election of Heney the
federal government may be shown the
way to better things. Champ Clark
recently denounced on the floor of the
house of representatives the appoint
ment of incompetent district attorneys
by the governments necesstating in
many cases the employment of special
counsel. The minority leader said that
il there had been a competent dis
trict attorney or two in the west there
would not have been so much stealing
of public lands.-Collier's Weekly.

WHY NOT DRESS UP?

Inasmuch as President Taft is to
pay this city a visit, it might be per-
tinent to suggest that those people
who are planning to paint their houses
or in other ways dress up their prem
ises, do so before the presidents visit.
This has been a season of travel and
many visitors have looked in upon us.
A little attention to external appear
ances not only creates favorable i'm
preston upon those who visit us, but
reacts upon our own personal pride as
well. After the dusty season, 1t is in
order to dress up the city and make
it appear at it's best.
