SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, July 2s.-At a
mass meeting of 5000 miners here,
7. l.. Lewis, national president of the
union and committee which was
selected to affect compromise OF
the Peoria agreement at Indianapolis

John H. Walker. state president,
was the principal speaker. Resolutions
were adopted condemning Lewis for
the proposed compromise and approx
ing the course taken by those who
opposed it,
The acceptance of the compromise,
according to Walker, meant an ac-
knowledge by the miners of ILL
nois that they are defeated Duncan
Mcdonald, state secretary-treasurer,
also spoke. He gave the first an
nouncement of check for $4,000
received from national headquarters
saying this meant 371s cents for each
miner in the state. Cries of send 1T
back!" were heard He said there
would be ten thousand more men
working in Illinois today if the Chi

THE ONE GREAT MUNICIPAL SUBJECT

At this time all the cities, great and small, in the
United States discussing the question: that is
sewers that will absolutely prevent the pollution of the
streams throughout the country and thus prevent the
spread of typhoid and other fevers Chief Engineer Cal
vim w. Hendricks of the Maryland Sewerage commission
is responsible for much of the interest shown He has in
terse words advanced unanswerabe argument in favor
of cities being compelled to construct proper and
at the time to make practical disposition of
age. The subject home to the inhabitants of the
Rogue river valley who exposed to disease and DEATH
like other sections OF the country, almost constantly
through the careless pollution of the water they drink
But let Mr. Hendrck in his eloquent way tell the
story:
''Of all the great municipal and state problems our
country is trying to solve the proper disposition Of
age is the most serious Procrastnation and the lack of
proper handling OF this problem have complicated and in
tensed the conditions very greatly Do you realize that
the people Of the United States suffer preventabe loss
of over 100000 human lives year-1700 human beings
day for every day in the year-over minute, from
one years end to the other and for year after year?
This terrible loss might be prevented by reasonable
safeguards Measuring the money value of American
citizen at $17OO this prevenabe loss by death alone is
thousand million dollars, annually equal to the gross in
come OF the United States government There 3000
1000 people sick all the time in the United States from pre-
ventabe causes of whom 100000 are in the working
period OF fe-about three quarters of million actual
workers losing on average $500 year. and approx-
ate loss from illness Of $50000000O and adding reason
able allowance for medicine, medical attendance special
food and care like of $500000000, these losses
would make another thousand millions of dollars of pre-
ventable loss to the people of the whole country
MI Hendrck urges that proper laws should be passed
by each state compelling every community to purify it's
sewage before allowing it to empty into any stream of
water This subject without doubt one of the most i'm
porant that onronts the people of the United States
the present time and must be handled without DELAY bv
each and every community.

PERMANENT WATER SUPPLY NEEDED

Awaer supply for Grants Pass should soon occupy the
attention of our citizens that may be ready to act
when the contract with the Rogue River Water company
expires. The supposition is that the supply furnished
was all right when the contract made but the city has
completely outgrown the service and from necessity fu-
ture permanent supply must be secured The mayor
should be requested to appoint committee consisting of
at least two members of the council two carefully selected
citizens and the city engineer This committee should
be instructed to go into the whole subject and make re-
port with recommendations The facts are that water
supply for the future will be the cys greatest need and
the subject should be taken up without delay.
Suitable water for domestic use is all important but
no more so than supply for protection against fire Our
large business blocks and residences generally will de-
mand fire service which will be adequate in time of need
what Will be needed is more water and larger water
mans and more pressure. Besides this, we must have
reservoirs protected from the brong sun of summer In
short modern water system is in demand and whal the
supply must be free from disease germs which bring in
their wake fever epdemics and death

million dollars is spent in temporary repairs and the dis
couragng feature is that roads repaired at big expense
this year must again be repaired next year. The trouble
that little of the work done of permanent nature
If twenty-five per cent Of this money could be used
each year in building permanent highways, in short
time all the main roads would be like city boulevards
When permanent road is once built the maintenance
expense ceases, and the money formerly expended in
keeping it in repair could be used for constructing other
permanent highways.
More than 100000 belong to organizations that are
urging the building of permanent roads, and in time their
efforts sure to bear fruit.
The money expended for permanent roads is put in cir
culaon among the who pay the taxes and it also
increases the price of the land adjacent Road tax is the
one kind Of tax which the farmer well afford to paw
provided it is udiciousy expended When these facts
become better known the demand for permanent roads
will be great that the authorities can not longer ignore
It, and and era OF permanent road building will be shered
ln When that times it will mark the beginning of new
era OF prosperity such the country has before
known.

have their capital in it. He says it raises the question as
whether their cause trade is In competent OF IN
incompetent hands, or whether it be possible that the
liquor trade disreputable that can not be defended
before the bar of public sentiment
In the late campaign the liquor men in many places,
notably in Oregon made strong effort to stem the tide
that seemed to be overwhelming them The New York
Tribune says that the prohibition movement has become
irresistible in large part of the union Other great
journals hold similar views, but Notwithstanding this,
the liquor interest intends to make fight until the bitter
end is reached 1t may be stated that the American peo
pie have their hands matter to be settled which is
quite as important the slave trade There will be
compromises offered such come from the Home Rule
and these may 60 into effect in certain oca
ties but it will be found that such compromises will have
permanent effect than did the efforts of the south

certain counties to prove whether not the liquor trade

BIG DEATH RATE AMONG FARMERS

Zone of the most remarkable facts, says Dr. Harvey
Wiley, of the department of Agriculture, lis that satis
tcians have determined that the farmer dies at far
ier age than the city bred man. The only possible explain
alton of this strange condition is that the farmer knows
practically nothing of sanitation He is satisfied to do
things his father did them He has stood still for 80
years. He and his family ought to outdstance the sub
urbanite in years. in strength in vitality; but he doesn't
because he is blind to modern scientific knowledge Con
dtons in the cities bad enought is hard to get the
people to believe in pure air and pure foodbut in the
country they infinitely should like to turn
the schools of this country into institutes of sanitary

to teach physiology and hygiene in VITAL living manner
In this way could add ten years to the average span of

A DUTY YOU OWE TO THE CITY

TO certain extent there appears to be lack of in
erest in the municipal election which is to take place next
Monday The who fails to vote at the coming cleo
ton does an injustice, not only to the city in which he
lives but to himself Every person who feels an interest
in the growth and prosperity of Grants Pass should 90
to the polls and express not only his choice of candidates
for the ticket but his interest in the welfare of the city,
These municipal elections the very starting point in
our plan Of self-government, which makes the United
States the leading nation of the world To allow the cleo
ton to go by default would be disgrace to our citizen

PERMANENT HIGHWAYS NEEDED

While the people Of Grants Pass are paving their
streets and showing every determination to continue the
work in the future the county roads should not be forgot
ten. The taxpayers of the county demand permanent
highways which will be of service during twelve months
in the year. 1t to be hoped that the agitation will con
tinue until all roads leading into Grants Pass will be
highways worthy of the name. The opportunity is now
offered to make start the voters of the state have said
that the people of the county have right to build such
roads they may need and if it is desired they may issue
bonds to pay for the work Many Of our counties will IN
the near future avail themselves of the opportunity to
build permanent roads.
