WARNING ON THE WATER HOG. ;.

We notice that the City Superintend-
ent of Waterworks, Mr.. Thomas Hob
day. is out with warning to the
water-hog- This sort of warning comes
usually about this time of the year.
and, as has been the custom of super
intendents heretofore for many years.
the warning is a notice 10 the general
public that it will be restricted to GER
tam hours for watering, unless the
water-hog ceases his depredations
That is, unless those who wiilfully and
hogglshly waste the water stop that
The water-hog reioices in this sort of
notice. for it only makes his, hogging

We do NOT in the least blame Mr..
Holiday for this sort of warning. 1t
IS precisely the same warning that the
people have been accustomed to receive
ever since the water pipe system was
put IN. But II is a warning based or
wrong proposition throughout; and
though Mr. HOLIDAY is strictly following
precedent III making ~, we could de-
sire that he should make an amendment
that would in fact reach the water.hog,
and not punish those who are not
water hogs.
1t is noteworthy that there have been
very few prosecutions against water
hogs in the history of this city. Peo.

and let the hose run freely, and run
all night. the gurgling easily heard
from the sidewalks, and still the prose,
cut,ons are SO few as TO be negligible
in the discussion Of the question.
The amendment that we would pro
pose in this matter is that all the city
officers, including the police, should
have strict orders to catch and prose

invited to point out cases Of violation
Of the ordinance in letting the sprin.

CAPITOL COMPETITION

We are glad TO see that the Capitol
| Commission is disposed to throw wide
open the doors for competition among
architects on plans for the new State
| Capitol of Utah II is all we'll enough
for us to boast of our home architects
and TO say that they are as good as
any in the world. Let us continue say
ing so and continue thinking so. and
let us prove il through thorough, wide
open competitions If indeed we have
architects here. as may reasonably be
claimed, that are the peers of any, and
that are able to give us plans for the
State capitol that will he in every re
spect satisfactory and as good as, or
better than, other architects can pro.
vide. we will all acclaim those local
architects and yield them due praise.
But. if in this particular ield of desigr
they should not be as good as the coun-
try affords, then let us get the best
without regard TO any local sentiment
or local pride. We are about TO build
State capitol here. which will be am
pie for a generation. and may be suf1i.
cient for the State, with additions. per.
haps, for many generations. These
generations of the future will take as
much interest in the State capitol as
does this generation which will build
it. We must build a capitol that will
be JOY and pride TO all the citizens Of
the State as long as it shall last; and
it should be built on lasting basis,
beautiful, commodious, freproof, and in
every way combining the best utility
with the finest ARCHITECTURAL effects
We should be censurable in the eyes
of the future generations, if we al
lowed any mere narrowness of view, or
restricted policy of competition in the
plans for this State building, with the
result OF getting something less than
the best is. unless We throw open the
competition? 1t is necessary that we
should have a building, first of all. in
every way suitable for the State uses

ing, corresponding to the site on which |
1t is TO be placed. These we consider
the chief points to be kept in mind in
the planning and building of the capi. |
tol, and we commend the breadth of |
view which the Capitol Commission is |
opening up in this matter. in its ten.
dency to throw the competition of plans
AS wide open as possible, so that the
people of Utah may get the advantage
of every modern idea. of every profit

Iencc. and that commodiousness and |
utility shall be combined in the high

THE NORTH BENCHERs' CLAIMS

The residents on the Month Bench
have decidedly the advantage of the
Board of Education in the contention
that is now on between them. There
is no question but that the Board Of
Education plainly and specifically prom
ised the voters of the North Bench that,
if they would vote for the 100000
school bond issue, there would be con
structed between Ninth and Tenth ave
nues a 100000 school building. The
necessary understanding which the res
idents got from this promise was, that
the 100000 building would he con
,tructed between Ninth and Tenth ave
nues from the proceeds of the school
bonds then to be voted. If that was
not the meaning Of the board, then the
promise was an utterly deceptive one,
The voters on the North Bench, ac-
cepting The pledge at its face value,
and as meaning what II said, voted
strongly for the bonds. Now it ap.
pears that the board has spent the mon
ey elsewhere. and is trying to put the
residents there off with little build
ing costing some $4,000, with a prom
Use to add to that building later on.
Very naturally, the residents of the
North Bench resent this tritliug with a
plain pledge, the reputation of a spe.
cifc public promise. The explanation
made by the board that the money has
been spent elsewhere is not satisfac
tory TO the residents of the North
Bench and we do not see how the
board can expect that IT would be. For,
it is clearly the duty of the board to
keep its promises TO those voters, aud

ises. lt was a plain, specific promise
to the people of the North Bench, that
would get from the proceeds of those
bonds "A 100000 school house lG the
promise as made did not mean that.
then it was a clear and ignoblc attempt
TO deceive, and get votes under false
pretenses.
The plea made by the board that The
money was more needed in another di- !
rection is something that the board !
ought to have thought of before it made |
the definite promise which it did, to !
erect the 100000 building between
Ninth and Tenth avenues. If it did not |
intend to erect the building there from
the proceeds Of the sale of the bonds,
it ought not to have made any prom.
ise to do so in connection with the
bond election But, having made the
definite and direct promise it is now a
clear breach of faith for the board to
TO repudiate its obligation,
and 10 put the people there Of with i
mere makeshft of school building,
which is so far beneath what was prom
lsed as TO be utterly contemplate. We
DO not wonder that the people of the

where the promise had been to erect a

parents.
AS he did not know at all in which di-
rection he was jOurneying. lnOOsarsuk
was greatly surprised one morning to
find that he was headed straight for a
stretch of shining shore. He made up
his mind that he would land, and in
doing so took great care to avoid collid-
ing with what seemed to be a massive
gray rock that lowered high above his
head. So the boy shook with astonish-
ment when the rock addressed him in
a deep, believing voice and asked him
his name. Looking more closely in the
direction of the voice, InOosarsuk now
saw that the rock was no rock at all.

him well for provisions. And so realiz,
ing with great excitement that he was
having his first adventure, Inoosarsuk
padded gayly out into the open sea.

~ lived in a fishing village an orphan
boy called Inoosarsuk. He was
brave. industrious, good tenn
pered boy, and you would sup
nose that his foster mother and foster
father. having no children of their own,
would have loved him very much. But
the truth is that poor little Inoosarsuk
had very hard time.
"Tnoosarsuk," his foster mother. called
to him one day when her husband, as
usual. was away fishing. Il am hungry
but am tired of eating the coarse fish your
father has brought home. So hurry and
go out in the extra kayak (Which is the
Eskimo name for fishing boat and
bring me home some frogfsh."
But my foster father has forbidden
me to go ont in the kayak" said the
boy, much alarmed.
He will never know of it. l myself
will clean and dry the boat when you
have brought it back. Go quickly, dear
Inoosarsuk. and you and l will share
the fish together" And the selfish wom-
an fairly drove the child out upon the
water in the fishing boat
Although Inoosarsuk came back as
promptly as he could, his foster mother
did not find time to clean the boat as
she had promised. And when her hus-
band found that it had been used he ac-
cused the unfortunate child of disobedt
ence and gave him very dreadful beat
ing, for he was a harsh, cruel man.
Some weeks later, when the boys foster
mother had forgotten this happening, she
again called Inoosarsuk to her and direct
ed him to go out in the fishing boat and
bring her home some stalks of the quan-
mex. which is a plant that the Eskimos
find eatable. In vain the boy pleaded
with his foster mother not to send him
out, for he knew quite we'll that he should
be beaten even more cruelty than before
if it were discovered that he had again
made use Of the kayak. But the greedy
woman insisted that she must have the !
