City Should Have
a Drinking Fountain

1t is strange that city the size Of
Watertown has not public drinking
trough where thirsty horses might
drink at any time during the day or
night. At the present time there is
not single place in the city where a
farmer could drive up his team and
give them drink unless it is at J. j.
Ballou's livery and feed barn.
Mr.. Ballou has a large trough in
front of his barn where he waters
his own stock and the stock of those
who place their teams in his r.,arn.
While in conversation with Mr. Bal
lou the other day he said: Here
is a bill from the water company for
$3.50 which is for what water was
used at my barn during the last quar-.
ter. Almost every delivery horse
and farmers team in the county has
drunk at my trough and they are ser
tainly welcome to do SO, but ! think
the city of Watertown is we'll able to
furnish public drinking trough for
the many farmers teams that come to
our city and ] don't think it is just
exactly fair for one man to stand all
the expense. If the city had $50 to
throw away on the sprinkling job
they certainly can afford TO furnish
little water to the farmers who
come to this city to spend their mon
ey with our merchants and business
men. But If the city is too poor to
DO this l will continue to give away
free water TO the poor thirsty ami
mails and that Is not ALL will feed
them too, If necessary. Then there
is another thing I would like to
speak about and while it is somewhat
of a delicate subject it is matter
that ought to be attended to ~ .hs
city authorities. II : p well known
fact that there are no public closets
in this city and many times I have
requested my men in the barn to va.
cate for while and give some poor
farmers wife and daughter a chance
to use one of the horse stalls. That
is a pretty state of affairs in ciy-
ilized community and especially a
city ike Watertown where people
boast Of having all of the modern
conveniences. It is a shame and dis
grace and drives away more basipess
from our city than all of the good
boosters can bring here.

South Dakota League is Disbanded
at Meeting at Redfield
Last Week. -.,,l
POOR ATTENDANCE THE CAUSE
Mistakes Evidently Made by
Manager Who Hired Too
Expensive Players.

At meeting of the directors of the
South Dakota League held at Redfield
last week it was decided to disband
all the teams of the league at once
The cause seems to have been poor
support of the teams by the citizens
Ct the towns represented with teams,
together with the fact that Sunday
baseball has been opposed in many
places. The teams received consid-
cradle of their support from the Sun
day games.
The Faulkton team fell by the way
side last Wednesday, and this had a
large part to do with the disbanding
of the league. Faulkton is too small
a town to support team, although
they have a bunch of baseball bugs
at that place.
1t was supposed at the beginning of
the year that Sioux Falls would join
the league, but they have their eye on
a place in the Western league and
Gu uOL get Ill.
The local fans are considerably
disappointed at the decision of the di-
rectors, but at the same time, it was
really their fault that the team was
forced to disband. Watertown> has
been represented by good team and
gave a good article Of ball at all
times. The laocal team has won
enough games, had they been counted
on the league percentage to have
placed them at the head Of the col
umn, No other team has been able to
take a game at the outlet park from
the local boys. ~
The managers of the teams have
hired players at salaries that they
could not afford to pay in order tc
get together pennant winning team
and in their efforts have depleted
their treasures.
The league managers will probably
profit by the mistakes they made this
year and next year will come bach
with Gneup of clubs that will play
good ball throughout the year,

Eiuht Hours for Women

If law now being pushed before
the legislature by some very well-in
tentioned people, should become a law
there are many women in the state
who are dependent upon their labor
for a livelihood who may have to ask
protection from their friends The
law prohibiting the employment of
women more than eight hours a day
seems to be capable of working great
injustice to a good many women, &C
cording to O. F. FenlasOn, of HO-
quiam and Raymond, who has large
experience in that class of work.
Speaking of the proposed law, Mr.
Fenlason recently said:
Il must confess, speaking as an
employer of labor and as such en-
son that this law is poor one.
Why it discriminates against the
women in the first place. For in
stance our factory works ten hours
day. If we are prohibited from en-
plOying women for over eight hours
how can the mill be operated? 1t is
impractical to operate two or three
departments with others closed
down. One feeds the other. What
must be the result? Why the women
will have to co. that is all. In our
mill there are women making as high
as So per day. Many of these women
are widows with families to care for.
Deny them work in the factories and
they are those dependent upon them
must suffer and surely a woman has
as much right to live as man. Yes,
instead of benefitting the women this
law will result disastrously for her
and if the measure passes the logic
of my statements will be forcibly
demonstrated right here on Grays
Harbor as elsewhere

land has greatly weakened the activi
ty of trade unions, since it's ends are
gained rather by public arbitration
than by private force, moral or physi-
cal. The old age pension, began in
New Zealand and copied in Great
Britain, provides for necessitous old
age. This is now supplemented in
Great Britain by a government insur
ance against lack of employment and
by another against sickness. The first
is compulsory but applying at the
outset only in the shipbuilding, min
ing and engineering trades, which,
however, affect one-half of the Brit
ish workingmen. The unemployed in
surance amounts to 10 cents weekly,
to which amount the state, the en-
ployer and the employee each contri-
butte one-third. The amount thus real
lied is expected to reach $1,000 900

The definition of SUCCESS enun-

coin, Kan, is well worth the $3.50

runs thus, and is good thing to
paste up somewhere in sight:
He has achieved success who has
lived well, laughed often and loved
much, who has gained the respect of
intelligent men and the love of little
children;
who has filled his niche and ac.
complished his task;
"Who has left the world better
than he found it, whether by an i'm
proved poppy, perfect poem or a res
cued soul;
Who has never lacked apprecia-
ton of earth's beauty or failed to ex.

best in others and given the best he
had;
Whose life was an inspiration.
whose memory a benediction."

Senators Fighting Direct Election

Direct election of United States SEN
ators by the people has sturdy
champion in Borah of Idaho. He
keeps smuggling away, until now, with
the aid of progressive republican sen.
ators, he has placed his resolution
for popular election of senators where
the senate must consider it.
Why should the national senate op.
pose direct election?
What reason is there why it should
not to be chosen in the same way as
the representatives?
Federal senators are intended to
be representatives of the people as
well as of the states. The indirect
election of them through legislatures
is a piece of political machinery that
has become as outworn as the cleo
toral college.
The object of the Constitution and
the congress which the people Great.
ed is to put and keep the government
into the hands of the people. The
manner of choosing their agents is
immaterial, and is left open by the
Constitution to alteration by the peo-
pie.
The indirect method of electing
senators has given the state legisla-
lures tasks that do not properly be-
long to them and has worked i'm
mense mischief.
1t has largely taken popular self
government out of the hands of the
people, and in the case of the sen.
ate has tended to lodge government
in the hands of privileged and selfish
interests.
If the senate continues to oppose
direct election of it's members by the
people it will strengthen the feeling
that it is under the control of private
interests and will still further weaken
its influence and standing.

Trade Unions

Copying the methods of New Tea
land, the English government is adopt
ing a measure of insurance which will
strike greater blow to the trade
unions and to more or less affiliated
friendly societies than any which
have yet been dealt. At the same
time, as in New Zealand, the trade
unions will not object.
The trade union serves two pur.
poses. 1t is, first of all, a society
which in the main works for better
hours and for better pay for it's mem
bers and, incidentally, works for the
greater efficiency of the craft or in.
dustry concerned. Secondly, directlJ
or indirectly, it acts as benevolent
society, and as an insurance against
sickness and, to a cetrain extent,
against old age.
