Sewerage and Wall.


Some time ago The Commercial spok,
about the relative merits Of the sewer
age system and the scayenger service
in Union City. While we empha.
sized the benefits Union City had
derived from the scavenger service we
did not then intend to underyalue the
sewerage system nor do we ever pro-
pose TO do SO. Left to us we do not
hesitate to say that if we could have
either sewerage or concrete walks, and
could have one or the other only, we
would take sewerage without foot OF
concrete walks. Always first give us
Observation-Disclosures proper sewer
age means sanitation.
Some Of the towns around us are
boosted greatly on account of their
walks and compared to Union City to
our disparagement The walks are on
the surface and they look nice to the
eye, and they are nice and useful, but
we would rather have Union City's sew
erage system to the system of walks in
any town anywhere no larger than I'm
ion City This is no ioke-we mean it.
But Union City is going TO have the
walks too, and that is what we are going
to talk about. Some time in the future.
not many months, we hope, campaign
OF walk building will be inaugurated.
These walks will be laid with due regard
to permanency and symmetry. Now
the point is this. Would it not be much
better and cheaper for those who antici-
pate connecting with the sewers to do so
before these walks are builtY Before
the laying Of the walks would it not be
much better and easier to ditch to the
sewer pipe in the street than it would |
be afterwards when necessary to tunnel
under the walks. We lay the question
before you. You need the sewerage
and intend to use it. Then why not
have the work done before the walks
are built.
A large number of residents are now
connecting with the sewers, more than
some believe are doing So Numbers
OF others ar arranging to do so. The
people Of U.s4on City are going to take
advantage Of these sewers, and Just in
as they do Union City will
be that much better off than other
towns which have no sewerage, mat 1
tiers not how many miles of walks they :
have. Walks are good but sewers are
better, and we are trying to urge all the /
connections possible while it is easier to I
do so. /,
We are not urging the connections :
simply to uphold the administration in
it's policies, but are doing so, as we'll as !,
10 defend the sewerage system, because
We believe in it. This paper was not
one OF the sewerage agitators. Other !,
papers here did more of that than we,
put none the less we have always pinned
,ur faith to sewerage, and we believe !,
o-day it is one Of the greatest improve
nents any town ever undertook. There
S nothing to compare with it when !.
properly installed and utilized. We :,
gould therefore insist that all who can :.
$ promptly as possible make their con-
Iections, and when the walks are built
hey will have no more of this work !.
or expense of same for years. !.

Taft is Gett'n5
Many Invitations

Washington, Aug. l2.-Numerous
invitations continued today to reach
the white house for President Taft to
visit cities throughout the south and
west during his coming trip, but owing
to the uncertainty of the adjournment
of congress the president has not de
finitely decided upon the itinerary.
The president is constantly receiv-
ing appeals to include the Pacific coast
in his program. He has stated that
If he could get month of good rest
at Beverly he would not mind includ-
ing the far west in his journey, but
that he must have some time for re.
cuperation.
He Is to start on his southern and
western trip September 1 6. If congress
does not adjourn before August 16 the
president will not get his month of
rest and he is not likely to go to the
coast.
Should he decide to make the trip
to the Pacific coast the president prob
ably would attend the ground breaking
of the Panama-Pacific Exposition at
San Francisco on October Is.

DEVELOPS STRANGE IDEAS
Imagines She Is Queen and That She
President of United States.

Mrs. Pauline Schuett is being de-
tanned at the police station pending
an examination into her condition of
mind Symptoms of insanity were
discovered in her less than a week
ago, her first strange act being to
announce that she was queen.
Last Sunday she attended a funeral
in a local church and twice during
the service she approached the cas-
ket and went through the motions
of writing upon it with her fingers.
Later on she took the pastor aside
and told him that she owned the
church and everything in it, but that
she would allow him to use it until
such time as she needed it. Her next
escapade was to call at the home of
the overseer of the poor, ]. H. Lid
ders, for the purpose of getting
money Mr.. Lidders was away, but
she told members of his family that
she was representing the American
nag and that she and the president
were in need of money. The police
were notified and she was placed in
the custody of Police Matron Dina
Ramser.
DIVORCED THREE TINES.
Mrs. Schuett, who is so years old.
has been married four times and di-
vorced three times. Her husband in
each case has been Fred Schuett. OF
late they have been living apart.
Mrs. Schuett spent part of her time
in her old home town, Estherville,
Iowa. and she says now that she is
DESTROYS of returning there. A petit
ton to have her adjudged insane
will be presented to Judge R. w.
Olmsted in the country court.
A commission consisting of Judge
Olmsted and Drs. Z. A. Soule and
Eli Bradford conducted an examina-
ton this afternoon and found the
woman insane and ordered that she
be committed to the hospital at Wa
tertown.

FITCH TO NEW YORK CITY
Guest of Press Club Last Week May
Give Up Newspaper Work

Give Up Newspaper Work.
George Fitch, editor of the Pc
oria Herald-Transcript, who was a
guest of the Tri-City Press club at
it's annual banquet here a week ago,
is going to New York city and will
probably make the metropolis his
permanent place of residence. For
some time Mr.. Fitch has been a reg
ular contributor to magazines and
he now desires TO be free from the
pressure of newspaper work so that
he can devote more attention to la
bors of a more distinctly literary
turn. Mr. Fitch is a Galva boy and
a brother of the late Clyde Fitch,
famous as playwright and author.
