Railroad officers had declared that
there were only two factors in econ

namely the amount of rates charged

rate question by the commissioner
aroused considerable interest among
the railroad men and attorneys pres

The witness was William Ellis COM

WATER SUPPLY IS
SHORTEST EVER
IN TOWN
Danger Of Water Famine Unless
Every PrecautiOn Taken
CAUSE THREE DRY YEARS
All Local Users Of Water Are Re.
quested to be Careful and Allow
No Waste

The water supply in Bennington is
the lowest since the Putnam. system
was put in and there is danger of a
partial cut off of the supply unless
every precaution is taken to prevent
waste.
There has been more rain this
year than last but it has been the
third dry season and the springs
have never wholly recovered from
the drouth of the fall of 1908.
The ennington Water company re-
quests every user of water to use as
little as possible in order to keep a
reserve for fire protection and all
property owners are warned to stop
leaks and allow no waste.

TO this end. stringent laws must be
made and enforced laws carrying
severe penitentiary punishment

This subject should be taken in
hand at once by our churches and
societies. But, however, it must be
remembered that talk is cheap and
only the backing by actions counts.
The churches must drop plutocracy
and adopt Christianity The church
ediiice must return to the House of
God. from its present standing as
the money-changers temple. The
church member must become the
Christian and cease to be the fashion

alt honesty and condemn hypo-
cracy.

is the freedom Of the press Aside
from a very few of the large and
wealthy periodicals. every paper in
this broad land is subsidized to some

by direct pressure from the patrons
of each such paper
In conclusion we would say that
the agitation as carried on by the
Boise Statesman ana other papers
is of inestimable benefit in that it is
only by and through such means
that the people are being aroused to
a sense of their obligation and their
danger.
A spirit Of unrest is rampant in
the land. The rumblings are distinct
