!. THANKSGIVING DAY.

Coming at the close OF season
blessed with a bounteous crop ana
with Old Sol smiling graciously upon
us, Thanksgiving day this year Is all
that could be desired. There may not
have been enough turkey to go around,
but the sister barnyard fowl, the
chicken, was plentiful, and after all
the great difference between the turk
and tie chick is difference in size.
Everybody ought to find it easy to
give thanks this year. 1t has been
great reason and one In which the
good things were divided up. Just
take the matter of politics. for in
stance The republicans won ont in
Iowa and pretty well held their own
over the country. The democrats are
cheered by carrying of most of the
plums here at home, and are, cheered

THE cITY's 7WATERWoRks.

The majority OF the people who
voted at the special election yesterday
expressed themselves In favor Of mu
nicipal ownership of the city water
works. AS a result of the election the
city now becomes the owner OF the
waterworks. The city will take pos
session within few weeks and the &C.
tive management Of the plant will be
placed in the hands of three trustees.
to be appointed by the mayor.
The waterWorks is now the property
of the, city, and all citizens, whether
they were in favor Of the proposition
or not, must join in q conscientious eff.
fort to make the city's management OF
the plant success. Our interest is
now ascommon interest. We are all, IN
a way, stockholders in the waterworks
property, and it is to our interests to
give the heartiest cooperation to the
plans for conducting the property for
the benefit Of the citizens, not only be
cause this is the public spirited thing
to do in public matter of this kind,
but because we are privately interest
ed as citizens in securing the best re-
suits from this public utility we have
as municipality purchased
The city council and the water
works trustees, whoever they may be,
no doubt will be glad at any time to
receive suggestions for improvements
and betterments, for means of check
ing waste and for preventing viola
tions of any of the regulations govern
ing the use of water. And the citizens
should take sufficient interest in the
matter to call these things to the at
tention OF the proper authorities.
The management is entitled and
should have. the hearty and sincere co
operative effort Of all citizens for the
successful operation Of the plant. 4,
