The Water Contract

Congratulations all around over
the settlement of the water contro-
yersy To the special committee on
the unanimous acceptance OF their
report and recommendations: To the
Company on the future thus assured ::
And to the town on the favorable
terms of the contract. Perhaps no.
body is perfectly satisfied. because the
results of human endeayor are rarely
perfect, but the situation as whole
offers little room for finding fault
Once again We have seen how per-
fectly pure democracy does its work.
The members of the special commit
tee labored patiently for months with
out any hope of reward beyond the
approval of their fellow citizens, and
the satisfaction of doing their task
well. 1t may be that men sometimes
do the same when they are members
of the complicated organizations that
run city and State affairs, but 1t is
hardly habitual. The committee sim
ply took position that they felt
public opinion would justify, and the
company had no alternative but to
come to 1t.
Political reform makes slow pro-
gress, but every year sees the idea
gaining ground that the acts of all
public officials must stand the test OF
public opinion. We are getting away
from the old idea that power and au-
thority are conferred by elections, to
be used as the holder may choose. The
idea of setting one politician to
watch another has been tried and
found wanting.

by all means let the tariff be re-
duced where there Is not adequate
domestic competition to stimulate
progress and regulate prices, but If
these conditions exist, nothing can be
gained by increasing imports to the
injury of our own workshops and
workpeople,' said President James r.
MaColl in closing his annual address
to the Home Market Club recently.
That Is probably fairly precise
statement of the attitude of most of
the Republicans who voted the dem
ocratic ticket November 8. After the
Tariff Board has reported the facts
regarding any particular industry, we
don't believe that it will take very
long for Congress to decide upon the
schedules relating to it.

With the passing of Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy, the world loses one of
the most remarkable characters of
modern times. Perhaps, now that her
wonderful personality has been elm
mated, humanity will be willing to
look upon her work without preju-
dice, although time is usually neces-
sary to give a true perspective. But
to have made the. Holy Scriptures a
vital force In the daily life of thous-
ands to whom the Bible had formerly
been a closed book. Is no slight ac-
complishment, and her place in his
tory Is reasonably secure.

Manager C. NJ. Holt of the Maine
Telephone exchange has been hustling
night and day since Tuesday to repair
the damage by the storm that began
that evening. He says 1t Is one of the
worst that he has known since he
entered the telephone business. Show
hegan was practically cut off from
wire communication with the outside
exchanges, until afternoon Thursday.
The Waterville, Hinckley, Madison,
Solon and Bingham lines had all been
put out of commission, and communi-
cation with Pennington has not yet
been restored. The Farmers lines
suffered as much or more, and very
few out of town stations could be
reached. Both the Western Union
and the railroad telegraph circuits
were broken down also, so that for
two days the trains between here and
Waterville had to be run without or
ders from the dispatcher. Fortunately
the winter schedule made it possible
to do this without much risk of colli-
sion

WOMAN'S CLUB.
Wee President of State Federation
Gives Delightful Talk.

The regular meeting of the Woman 8
Club was held in the Library parlors,
Wednesday, December 7, with Mrs.
Della Bartlett and Mrs Abbie Wildes
as hostesses.
The meeting was called to order by
the President, and the records of the
last meeting read by the Secretary, af-
ter which the following interesting
program was carried out: Song, MY
Rosary" by Mrs. Agnes Steward, op-
ened the meeting. A memorial to
Mrs. Margaret Larabee Prescott writ
ten by Mrs. Lizzie Page, was read by
Mrs. Fogler. and one to Mrs. Mary
Russell Philbrick was given by Mrs.
Elizabeth Merrill. This was followed
by an interesting discussion OF the
question whether the club would ia
vor a change in the Constitution of the
Federated clubs SO that officers could
serve more than the two years now
allotted them, if it seemed advisable
that they should do SO. This was
finally left to the discretion of the
President when she should be called
to vote upon it at Augusta.
The question was opened by Miss
Hannah Page followed by Mrs. Eliza
beth Merrill Mrs. Marsh, Mrs. Plum
mer and others.
After brief recess we again en-
joyed a song given by Mrs. Steward.
Mrs. Elizabeth Plummer from Dexter
vice president of the State Federation,
gave a delightful talk on THE Attri-
butes of a Perfect Woman" which
was listened to with great interest by
the club.
Misses Faith Harris and Marion
Lord gave a piano duet which was
finely executed and gave much pleas
ure to the audience. An encore was
called for to which they obligingly
responded.
The president announced the next
meeting to open at half-past two, De-
cember 81, and requested each mem
ber to take an inexpensive present
and If she has a guest to take two
articles. Mrs. Dora McNeelie and Mrs.
Matte Goodwin were appointed hos
tesses. Meeting was then adjourned

the nominee for district judge,
are making a clean, active cam
paign for votes, based on the ser

that they can successfully conduct
the affairs they ask to be placed

Roy Cornelius, Of HOisingtOn,
is a candidate for county printer,
to succeed himself. He has had
the work only one term, and
that has proven that the county
printing can be done away from
the county seat as well as at it.
He will receive a large vote from
the communities who know him
best, and while papers outside of
the county seat are always boost
ing for the county, this is the
first time that one of them has
had a chance to get the county
printing, and they are entitled to
a second whack at it.

WILL WAKE SURVEY IF W|NKELMAN Local Engineers Will Set tie Controversies Over
 Property Lines

For the purpose of surveying and laying out tine town of Winkleman, En- gineers B. F. Van Wagenen and C. E. Hewes will leave for that place this morning,
 Although Winkleman has grown rap idly within the past few months, it has never been surveyed and as the re- suit, the town is in turmoil over the ownership of some of the property.
 In some instances, property owners have gone so far as to fence up the principal streets, it is reported, and in several instances, serious trouble has been narrowly averted.
 The townsite contains 160 acres and the work of making the survey will re- quire a month or more, the exact length of time depending on the contour of the ground. Engineer Van Wagenen will remain on the ground a few days and leave the balance of the work in the hands of Engineer Hewes.
 The survey will be made by Gila county at the request of residents of Winkleman.

JOHN SUTTON STILL
 AT LIBERTY
Effort to Locate Man Who Robbed Wife Proves
 Unavailing

Although Deputy Sheriff Eugene Shute secured the Miami district all day yesterday in an effort to locate John Sutton, who is charged with robbing his wife of money and jewelry to the amount of nearly $50, he searched in vain.
 It was reported that Sutton, after having, as is supposed, decamepd with all of his wife's valuables, started in the direction of Miami. It was al so reported that a man answering to his description was seen there Thursday af- ternoOn.
 Deputy Sheriff Shute, although forced to give up the search yesterday, SC cured information that Sutton, or the man who is supposed 10 be Sutton, had headed for one of the mining camps in the Miami district and the search for the missing man will be continued.
 Although Mrs. Sutton does not seem to be particularly aggrieved over her husbands disappearance, she is very much perturbed over the loss of the money and valuables, which she claims as her separate property.
