NEW WATER SUPPLY FOR

For some time the city Of Murray has
been striving 10 secure an adequate whtcf
supply for Murray City and TO proVide
for an ample supply in keeping with the
future growth and population OF the city
The north portion OF the city is fairly
well provided for by the artesian "cl'
supply. which the city has recently de-
ve:oped in Cottonwood. But the southern
part OF the city Is seriously in need OF
this modern convenience. anG there seem :

Several important meetings have been

the matter.

Editor The Tribune Regarding your

not only what ] said. but was fact
Your article. published the morning OF
the 5th. was incorrect either through de-
sign or because of having the wrong in
formation, and II seems TO me II would
have been a more proper courtesy 10 me
10 have verified your information before
publishing your article on the morning
OF the 5th, than TO have expected me to
tell you it was false the day after. as
you implied | should have done in your
editorial OF the 9Th.
am in receipt Of clipping from the
New York American of Sunday morning,
December 4, reeking with falsehood on
this same subject OF the battleship serv-
Ice. II has hardly line OF truth in
the entire article, Whoever invcigled the
American or your paper into using ya!u-
able space to put before the American
people such falsehoods has certainly a
very vicious grudge against our state.
and the most surprising part is that
either your paper or the American would
publish such dribbe without first de-
termining whether there was one atom
OF truth in what your informant stated
You understand I am speaking as the
one who sold this service to the COM

Remarks.-The acidity OF tone of the
above may be pardoned. perhaps. by
what Mr. Pearsall considers the provoca-
tion. but II is not justified. For no one
questions Mr.. Pcarsalls good faith. nor
on exhibit here, The question is as to
what Is on exhibit in New York, pLr
novting 10 be part OF this service. AS TO
that. i, seems Incredible that an alert

would he so utterly In error as Mr.
Poarssl thinks. 1t would be more likely
that Mr. Pearsall does not know what
that New York exhibit Is II so. it
would by no me0ps be the first time
that unsuspecting Gentilcs have been
taken In by the wiles and tricks OF the
brethren" Tho Tribune is still open for

Insurgency In The Democracy.

Northern and Southern Democrats
are as far apart on vital issues oil
The day as Aldrich and Cummins OF
the Republican party. Indeed. IT
would be safe to say that there is
l. wider gulf between the opposing
actions of the Democracy. The
-.ttitude> of the Democratic branch
on the tariff will illustrate the
point Instead of presenting its
once solid front for free trade its
leaders found themselves hopelessly
split when the subject of revision
was brought up. 1t became a Local
instead of a national issue. The
Washington Post has put the argu-
ment well in a recent editorial.
The Democratic party is not solid
it is not cohesive; 1t is not coher-
ent. 1t says:
1t has come to hold the tariff
local question. and most Southern
Democrats are for protection Tor
their local Industries. When Morri-
son. Carlisle and Mills led the Demo
cracy the South. except Louisiana
was for free raw materials. but
new evangel has been proclaimed
in that section and the South Is as
clamorous for taxed raw materials
as New England is for taxed finish
ed products.
Texas and North Carolina demand
tariff for revenue on raw mater
iaIs. Kentucky and Missouri answ-
er, AS long as there Is tariff for
revenue on raw materials there Will
be tariff for protection on finished
products"
Florida is as much OF q protec-
ton state as Maine. and virginia
ia as strong for protection in 1917
as she was when Henry A. wise
was q whig advocate Of that dogma
There is a strong protection senti-
ment In North Carolina
There are ten reasons for a tar
III duty on raw cotton for every
one that can be advanced for q duty
On iron ore, and yet the Souen ie'
cotton slide and kept iron ore on
the dutiable list. And the next
time the tariff is tinkered with the
south will be srong for tariff on
raw cotton. and that to the disgust
of every Northern Democrat.
In the light of such evidence no
one should stand in fear and tremb-
ling of a Democratic landslide for
the next congress. An opposition
must be united to achieve any de-
gree of success at the polls and the
most cursory glance at the Democi.
tic slate will show that its ranks
are hopelessly split But were 1t
able to present an united front 1t
would come far short of turning the
political tables. The tremendous m;
jority polled for Mr.. Taft shows
that the country has Republican
blood in its veins these days and
it would be surprising indeed IL the
Democracy could infuse its own doc
trines ca into the body polite

Train Blocks Street Crossing

An Enterprise subscriber and pa
tron called to see us today to register
an informal kick CT complaint against
a train crew for blocking North Grant
street about the breakfast hour this
morning during the rain.
The trains have five minutes in
which to clear crossings, and five
minutes is a long time to stand in
the rain, especially if one is impa-
tent to get breakfast or to business.
It is altogether probable that the
five minutes time was exceeded IN
this instance, but the railroad off
Gals nor the stockholders were to
blame. 1t was the work of a train
crew and they possibly had trouble
of their own, probably a broken
coupling or disabled engine. Ger
tain it is that a grade crossing is a
nuisance.
