1t again becomes necessary 10
ask our advertisers and others de-
string space in Tile NewS TO be
more, prompt in getting their copy
to this office. When all the mat

WedneSday morning it is more
than the regular force can handle,
consequently If no EXTRA help is
aUail06le the printers hare to wOrk
'way into the night TO keep the
paper on time. THE MtWS prints
q day earlier than most county
papers, so the paper willreach the
country readers before Saturday.
This should mean something 10
our advertisers and they should
see that theu cODy reaches this
office the first of the meek or last
of preceding week. 1t cannot
come too soon to suit US. No one
wiH be Gllowed to see it before the
paper is printed, and after all ii
takes no longer to do ii one time
than another. NOw don't forget
this. 1t is Uery important.

Base Ball.

The ball game last Friday be-
tween Meade High School and
Greensburg High School was the
first game of the season at Meade.
The score was s to. S in favor of
Greensburg.
Mayor Adams threw the first ball
across home plate. the game then
started. Greensburg were first to
handle the timber. By errors of
the Meade boys the visitors scored
three times In the first inning, and
one in the second and were unable
to find the home base until the
ninth when the bases were filled and
two outs. Dorland knocked a
home run Greensburg scoring 4 in
the ninth leaving their total runs.
In the third Dalgarn was the first
Meade man to cross the flagon.
They got one run In the fourth, two
in the fifth, one the seventh and
one In the ninth, leaving a total of
S runs for Meade.
The Greensburg boys are all fine
fellows and are more than welcome
at our town any time and hope in
the near future they will again play
on the Meade diamond.
The lineup was as follows:

Shall Meade Admit A Billiard
Hall?

| F1dll!
Last week it was bruited
about the street that a billiard
hall was to be established in
Meade. AS the admission or re-
| lection of a business of that
character was thoroughly dis
cussed in the last city election
was answered by the rejection
OF such business, the council
atonce passed an ordinance for
bidding houses of that character.
But the tables arrived in due
time and were unloaded. 1t is
said that they are not set up.
Public Indignation eliminated
in a union meeting at the Metho-
dist church, Sunday night at
which the action of the council
was warmly endorsed and the
contempt OF public sentiment ex-
hibited by the attempt to force
a billiard hall on the town, over
the known wishes of the citizens
strongly condemned. The busi-
ness of running billiard and
pool tables has long been classed
by the law and the courts am ong
those which are not necessities
and which are only permitted
to be conducted under police
surveillance and regulation. In
fact under the ban of the law
! and of public opinion. 1t is
therefore such a contempt OF
} public sentiment and defiance OF
! the wishes of the people and dis
regard for law to attempt to put
: a billiard hall into Meade as
merits rebuke from the public
The action taken Sunday night
was apt, right and one thai
every self respecting citizen
= whether present or not will en-
dorse. Public sentiment with
l. any but depraved and hardened
: criminals is better than law
> courts, and with that class the
r courts are almost powerless un'
: less backed by strong, healthy
public endorsement 1t was
comparatively easy to speak in
! favor the action taken at the
: Sunday night meetlng, for almost
none but those in sympath with
with the action taken we're pres
ent. The great benefit from
such a meeting and the action
there taken comes from the fact
that persons who were there
are more apt to speak their mind
freely on the subject in other
: places, when backed by such en-
dorsement.
Just here is good place to re-
mark that if all persons who are
church members or of high
moral character would on all oc-
casions speak their sentiments
on all moral subjects, and es-
pecially in regard to those which
are subjects of legal enactment
or of public character, the courts
Of law would be very short of
criminal business.
Perhaps it is not easy to advo-
cate a moral obligation of citizen
ship or argue for law enforce
UDSUl WuSH III ClOWu WnSl
such action will certainly bring
strong opposition sentiment
from all in the crowd, and still
harder if one is talking with a
friend to take a stand for law
enforcement against the known
opinion of his friend. But such
a course is the duty of every
person of moral character, and
especially of those enrolled as
, members of Christian churches.

The Water Supply Of Meade.

|
previously stated that the water
supply of the town is short. 1t
then makes an effort to defend
itself on the grounds that the
fault for action which it says
the insurance companies took in
regard to not lowering the
rates, is the fault of the city
council IN not having sufficient
water supply. If the Globe
stated that the city has not suf-
ficient water for fire protection
it shot wide of the mark. The
public is entitled to know what
it's servants, the city officers
are doing. The action to be
taken lies then with the public.
Whether or not there is a suf-
ficient water supply for fire
protection is not a matter of
opinion but of fact. The facts
are that the old tank, which is
connected with the new mains,
holds about $4,000 gallons and
the new one about $4,000 gal
Ions. There is from 10000 to
$4,000 gallons more in the
reservoir at the pump house
ready to pump up. The vary
ing amount at the pump house
being caused by use from it.
That would make from 10000 to
100000 gallons of water on hand
at all times for use in fire hght-
: ing. The city is supplied with
a great length of hose, fire plugs
and hydrants are conveniently
located.
The elevation of the tanks
give good pressure for any
buildings now in town. The
figures given are approximate,
and likely below the natural
amonnt of the water held in re-
: serve. The present flow deliv-
ers into the reservoir about
10000 gallons in twelve hours,
or 10000 gallons per day of "a
hours or more than so gallons
per day for the use of each man,
woman and child in the town.
There is another well at the
pump house which has not been
turned into the reservoir and
has never been cleared of sand.
The city is running water
through pipe into this well
from the high tank. The great
pressure under which this water
is delivered washes out a great
quantity of sand. What amount
it will supply can not now be
determined. The statement of
the amount of water now deliver
ed into the reservoir is the
amount give when the water is
being used from the reservoir.
When it is nearly full the water
does not flow in at such speed.
If the supply from the flow is
kept up or increased, as seems
it is likely to be, a great saving
will be made over maintaining
deep well pumping machinery.
Everyone who ever comes into
Crooked Creek valley has his or
her own opinion as to the best
way to get the largest supply of
the arteslan water on the sur
face. The less one knows about
it the more certain he is that his
theory is the correct one. Years
ago we learned that advice as to
wells and farming was OF no
benefit, as neither are taken in
this country. So we have moth
ing to say about methods of de-
livering the water for use. AS
to the Globes defense against
the charge of being a knocker
on the town it is none Of our
concern.

TOPHAM BATTLES FOR
SALOON NEAR CHURCH
How Better Can God Fight the
DeviI?' His Answer
to Protest

The amazing spectacle of Police
| Commissioner John Topham fighting
for a retail saloon permit in the face
of strong opposition was presented to
the police commission last night Other
members of the, commission and spec
tators could hardly believe he was in
earnest, for Topharn has no sympathy
with the liquor business and has been
chiefly responsible in causing the IL
quor interests all the sufferings they
have undergone in the last fw months.
Tophams action was brought about
by the application of Willard A. Os-
good for a saloon permit at 23S East
Sixth street. With the application for
the permit was presented lengthy
protest signed by members and at
tendants of the Church of the Naza-
rene, which is only block from the
proposed saloon, and F. G. Epperson,
secretary of the church board, APP
peared before the commission to
strengthen the protest.
1--WE have 200 saloons in this city and
the people have said they shall remain.
We have to put them some place and
how better can God fight the devil than
when the saloon and the church are
together" demanded Tophan1. Epper-
son called his attention to the fact that
there are eight or ten saloons within
two or three blocks of the church lnd
he thought the locality well supplied
with liquor emporiums.
Commissioner Johnson told Topham
he was not consistent and the mayor
later made the same remark.
But on Johnson's motion the 'appli-
cation was denied and when II came to
the vote Topham voted to deny r Ms
did all the others.
