THE DUTY OF WATER


subject of some searching investiga-
tions by Don Bark. says the Idaho
Statesman, and he proposes to show
by careful investigations that he Is
now working out the exact amount
of water the companies are losing
every day because their bitches are
not constructed right, on account Of
evaporation, seepage and other eau
ses that allow leaks to occur in the
systems that are now operating in
Idaho.
Mr.. Bark thinks that there are
many things that the water COM
panics can learn through these in
vestigatiOns that will mean money
to them and still give the settler his
water when he wants it and at the
least cost. The Investigations will
tend also to show just how much is
needed at each month in the season
and what kind of bitches will de-
liver the most water in the least
amount of time.
Much significance can be attached
to these Investigations by Mr.. Bark
as they all tend to show how small
supply of water is absolutely nee
, essary to meet the requirements Of
t the companies and settlers under
t the most favorable conditions.
During the past season he has
! been experimenting with the duty
e of water on the North Side tract,
= and has found that | 45 feet of wa

the maximum yield of wheat in any
part of the state. Granting this to

the packing industry of New Jersey appeared be-
fore the Board Of Health of that state at a hear
ing to determine what rules and regulations
should be enacted relative TO the canning industry.
One OF the speakers declared that more stringent
regulations should be adopted requiring that un-
sound or decayed fruit should be segregated from
the sound product before any part of the canning
process was begun. The members of the Board
of Health replied that they wanted to cooperate
with the reputable Gamers.
After this statement some of the Jersey Gamers
aired their grievances. One of them asserted that
Baltimore Gamers obtained Jersey tomatoes of
grade that would not be packed in New Jersey,
shipped them TO Baltimore, canned them, sent
them back TO New Jersey and disposed of them
as product Of that state He maintained that all
this operated to the damage of the New Jersey
Gamers
The same speaker added that he had seen hose
deliberately turned into a vat of tomatoes at a
Baltimore cannery in order to increase the pro-
duct by watering it, This was packing water and
selling it TO the public. The result Of this it is
contended, enables the Baltimore packers who do
it-but OF course not al 1.-The Baltimore factories
pack water-is that tomatoes sold at five or
six cents less the dozen cans than the New Jersey
prices
The Jersey Gamers made no complaint against
the Delaware Gamers, and that speaks we'll for our
product But it is true that some of the highly
reputable Delaware canners men who have spent
thousands of dollars in equippng their factories,
suffer because of competition with the inferior
stuff and some of the packers of inferior goods
grow fairly rich while the first class Gamers earn
only small profit If the Gamers Of the first class
should act with health authorities as they evil
IDENTITY intend to do in New Jersey the unfair COM
petition TO great extent would be knocked out

DIRECT PRIMARIES.

1T is probable that there will be a conflict be-
Il tween the Democratic progrcssives and con-
servatives if the very radical changes proposed IN
the management of the party arc attempted for It
seems that the progressiveS in Kent county desire
TO extend the primary system further man inc
mere nomination of candidates for the Legsla-
turc and for the Levy Court.
Ii is proposed 10 change the party rules so that
the voters at a statewide primary may express
their choice of a candidate for the presidential
nomination and this carries with If the nomination
of a candidate for United States Senator by d-
rect vote of the people at primaries.
In this county the Republicans have FOR years
named their candidates for county Offices and for
the Legislature by primaries, and the Democrats
have done likewise, excepting in the nomination
Of some of the candidates for county Offices SO
far as the Republicans arc concerned the method
has worked satisfactorily, but among the Demo-
Gratis there has been considerable sentiment fav
oring a change so that the primary plan shall
apply to all nominations.
The objection is frequently heard that the di-
rect primaries would open opportunity for
the use of money at the primaries, but that OBJ
lection holds good to primaries for the election
Of delegates TO a state convention IN hotly con-
tested fight Years ago the delegate elections in the
lower counties very bitterly contested between
the rival factions of the Democrats and doubtless
money and other means of bribery employed.
under the present method of electing delegates as
by direct nominations at primaries.
For long time many Democrats have held that
the present method of manipulating state con-
ventions and nominating candidates for Office
failed to express the real sentiments of the
majority Of their voters. Certain it is that Demo
cratic platforms have not echoed the sentiment OF
a large majority of the Democrats of the state.
For example, the voters of the party before the
last state convention would undoubtedly have eX-
pressed themselves in favor of the income tax
amendment TO the constitution and in favor of
public utilities commission but the Democratic
convention was silent on those points. The con-
venton was practically ruled by the state COM
mittec
If the progressves of Kent county continue their
fight and win as they have good chance of doing,
Democratic conventions in the future will be diff
ferent from those in the past and there is little
doubt that the conventions will be in closer touch
with the people
We lock for a change not only in the Demo-
cratic methods but in the Republican methods as
we'll and it is only question Of time when the
political machinery of Delaware will be adjusted
as it has been adjusted in many other states.

ATTACK ON GOMPERs.

~ HE resolution presented to the convention Of
i the American Federation of Labor in Ses-
sion at Atlanta by representatives of the Western
Federation of Miners attacking the Civic Fedora
Son is another assault on President Gompers of
eie Federation who has been active in the civic
body
Some time ago the miners forced John Mitchell
out Of the Civic Federation, and that action was
a small and narrow-minded fling on the part of
the miners. The Socialists arc powerful among
the miners, and for years they have been seeking
the scalp of Gcmpers because he has vigorously
opposed converting the Federation of Labor into
political adjunct of the Socialist party
1t is to be hoped that Gompers will vigorously
resist the attempt Of the miners to make labor
chiefs withdraw from the Civic Federation The
action OF the miners is merely an effort to widen
the breach between the so-ealled classes and TO
bolster UP the Socialist doctrine of class conscious
ness 1t would be unhappy for America should
there be continual jarring between the so-called
classes

celery so as to keep the water from
drowning the plants; but the judgment
of Mr. Laundry and others has demon
strated their belief, that this part Of

famous. celery lands of Michigan. The
young men of today, will live TO see
all the low lands of Delaware drained,
