PASADENA, Jan. 24-Something
was started in the water bond cam
paign today when the anti-water fac
ton asked: "Did not this administra-
ton illegally divert $4,000 of electric
light bonds to the general fund? Can
you trust them now?"
Mayor Farley pronounced the ques-
ton raw work" in a statement given
out for the press. ANY one acquainted
with that affair knows that we pub
Ideally announced the borrowing of
$4,000 from the general fund to put
in operation the power plant left UNI
finished by the previous administration.
1t was lying useless and we had to do
something to make it earn its money
when we voted the bonds we re-
turned the loan to the general fund. -
The anti-water faction held the
action illegal on the provision of BOND
laws of the state, providing that money
raised by bond issues must be disposed
of by methods and for purposes desig-
mated in the call for the bond election.
The anti-water people announced the
names of the men at the head of its
movement this evening. They are as
follows: Martin H. Weight, Edmund

Winston Churchill Says His Party
viii Return to Power with
Majority as Great as
Was SalIshurys

LONDON, Jan. 24--Unionists gained
another seat in the Southport division
of Lancashire today and one in Mid
dlesex. Otherwise the few results an
nounced tonight do not change the
party strength.
The newly elected members of par
lament now stand:
Unionists, 221; Liberals, 202; Labor
ties, "a; Nationalist, So.
Results of Saturdays elections, as
announced this morning, gave the Lib
erals 10 seats, Unionists 1 and the Ma
tionalists 1. Results of the bulk of to-
days pollings will be known tomorrow
Late tonight, with the cessation of
the stream of Unionist gains, Liberal
leaders are exhibiting a more hopeful
spirit Winston Spencer Churchill, at
Poole tonight, claimed that the Lib
erals would return to power with a
majority practically as great as Sails
bury ever enjoyed.
The Unionists. notwithstanding their
failure to make material gains, con-
tinued to derive satisfaction from the
enormous decrease in the Liberal ma
jority. notably at Roomford, where Sir
J. H. Bethells majority was reduced
nearly 1000; at Tottenham. where the
majority fell over 1000, and at Tor
quay where the Liberal candidate re-
tanned his seat by IL votes.
Chancellor Lloyd Georges election
from Carnarvon borough was an
nounced, but his majority was not as
great as at the last election.
The Liberals are showing thankful
ness for small mercies and welcome
q day without a series of Unionist
gains as an eminently hopeful sign.
Support Is Ample
Premier Asquith and Chancellor
Lloyd George in their speeches tonight
said they were convinced that the
government would have an ample ma
jority to carry through the Liberal
program.
The chancellor, speaking at Derby
shire, declared that before the next
elections were fought steps must be
taken to put an end to the intimida-
ton the great territorial magnates
exercised over the village voters.
Realizing the difficulty of carrying
out it's complete program while de-
pendent on the support of the Ma
tionalist vote, it is reported the gov
eminent will suggest that the reform
of the house of lords be undertaken
by a conference of the two parties,
and will further promise modification
in the spirit duties and the license
duties in the budget of 1910-1911 If the
rejected budget is accepted as the
financial scheme of the present year.
A. ]. Balfour, opposition leader. at
Baddington tonight again referred to
the perilous consequences that would
face the country. unless the government
took measures to strengthen the navy
ST tell you with all solemnnity," he
said, that if the navy danger is
neglected before many years there will
be a Nemesis for this scandalous folly
of saving money at the wrong time"
Referring to the elections, Mr.. Bal
four said: "This election may settle
the budget. 1t certainly will not settle
tariff reform or home rule or the house
of lords. These are issues which the
country will have to decide separately"

BRIGHT COL0RS WIN THE DAY
Indian Parents Finally Decide on
Vermilion Hue for Cap for Their
Papoose.

Mr.. and Mrs. John Brown of Pender
came 10 Omaha to buy a cap for their
baby, the Bee of hat city says. Mr..
Brown has another name. Johnny Red
Bull, and Mrs. Browns name trans.
lated into English means Annie Gray

tened.
Although shy on nomenclature, the
Indian boy is well-ntted with clothes.
What garments Fender stores and the
Indian agency can afford the baby has
already had, but still one item has
been missing. No cap.
1--WE have a very fine line of baby
caps began the clerk, but desisted
when she saw that the customers were
looking AT the caps and not listening
to her.
The modus operandi of the selec-
ton WAS as follows: Johnny Red Bull
held the baby and his wife put a cap
ON the %papoose's head. Then Mrs.
Brown stood back and surveyed the
effect. After a long look she in turn
held the baby in her arms and Johnny
took an observation.
First a brown cap was tried. Then
one of dark blue. Johnny grunted
with satisfaction at this, but his wife's
eye had caught a filmy affair much
bedecked with lace, and she promptly
clapped this on the infants head.
Then she smiled in a pleased way.
Taking the cap off she patted the
lace, smoothed il down and generally
observed it with evident pleasure,
thus proving hat admiration of lace
Is not confined to white women, who,
one is informed. do much delight to
ornament themselves with lace.
Sporty floorwalkers were laying
bets that the lace cap would win the
day, and the outlook for this did look
good, when suddenly Johnny Red
Bull caught sight of still another baby
cap, lie motioned toward 1t. Neither
he nor his wife had so far said a
word, while the baby was as impressive
and silent as a block of wood.
The cap was produced, Johnny look
ed d question and the clerk said $1.25.
Johnny forked it over and the three
departed.
The cap was a bright vermilion hue.

THE QUIET HOUR

You'd the grave? Must We shut our

Toll, toll, toll forever restless soul.

gals your neck. You have never as
serted your right TO live and enjoy

A few days ago while walking along

grapevine, peered through and saw
a very attractive spectacle. There
was a partridge and more than a
dozen little ones something like a
third grown. The. mother was crouch

spread and with her bill was preening
her feathers while two little birds
erept under the stiffened wing as if
it were an umbrella. Some of the lit

THE QUEEN OF TROUBLES.

1t is a serious matter to be the wife
of a mar of genius. The trials of a
spinster or of the wife of an ordinary
mar may be foreseen; but the wo-
man who marries a genius can be
sure that her p~erplexities will take
new form every week.
Mrs. Carlyle has represented the
class for the last twenty years. 1t

his doctrine Of non-resistance, until
he was ready to say that if he saw
her and his daughters attacked by
robbers. he would not lift a hand to
defend them.
She struggled with a brave patience
to adjust to her children's education
her husbands theory that they should
be taught, not to think, but to veg
etate, not to act but to leave all de-
termining action to fate. She met as
best she could the counts financial

p~ersuading him, defending him,-as
she would a spendthrift boy who re-
garded neither conventionality nor re-
sponsibility.
At the end the countess had to en-
dure her husbands setting the cruel
stamp of desertion upon his wife's
long loyalty. He preferred to slip a
way and face death alone rather than
surrounded by his kindred. He was
not the first who has SO preferred,
but he must be almost the first who
has yielded to the temptation so to
indulge himself.
Tolstoi's service to Russia cannot
