WATER CUT OFF

This is to give timely notice that on
the morning of January 5th, 1912, all
water will be cut out of the canals at
Sharp's Heading for period of one

This is necessary because of re-
pairs that must be made to Sharp's

now underway. All water users should
be prepared to store sufficient water

He Was In a Hurry.

Charles Monselet in his "Curiosites
Litteraries" tells of a friend Of his liv-
ing at Bordeaux who, glancing through
a Paris booksellers catalogue. saw the
title of book which he had vainly
sought for thirty years. Looking at
the clock, he found there was just time
to catch the morning express for Par
is. Stopping only to take some money
from his cash box, he dashed off to the
station and arrived at the bookshop
in time to secure the prize. As he
wrapped up the book the shopman re-
marked, IT suppose you live in this
street. monsieur" mo: have just
come from Bordeaux" was the reply.
The man looked astonished. and the
bibliophile discovered that in his eager
ness he had travelled 800 miles in dress
ing gown and slippers and had never
noticed any deficiency of attire.

SAYS THAT ROOSEVELT
IS NOT A CANDIDATE

NEW YORK, Dec. 22-President
Taft went back to Washington early
today with assurance from Samuel
Koenig, Republican county chairman,
that he would have Ne support of the
New York county delegation at the
coming national convention. Koenig
took the occasion of President Taft's
visit to state that Colonel Roosevelt
was not q candidate for 1912
The President returned without see
ing Colonel Roosevelt or receiving any
communication from him. A visit paid
by Dr. Lyman Abbott started report
that he was an ambassador from his
associate in magazine work but this
DR.. Abbott promptly denied.
While Republican State Chairman
Barnes would not confirm the report
that he and Mr.. Taft settled their diff
ferences yesterday and that Barnes
promised the President his support,
the state chairman said:
Il don't believe it is my function to
press or urge on the Republican cleo
torate Republican candidate. / will
say that whoever is nominated will ad-

adopted
Mr.. Barnes added that he would
strive to have the Republican state
convention which will elect delegates
to the national convention adopt a
declaration of principles that would be
a clear and decisive expression of Re-
publican doctrine (which to my mind"
he said, implies resistance to political
error, half thought out ideas, ill con-

B0RAH DELIVERS A
> REQ HOT SPEECH

NEW YORK, Dec. Ex-senator
William E. Borah of Idaho, at the
Young Republican Club last night,
made an address that breathed fire in
every word for 'lawless big business
and little violators of the law as we'll.
He drew a significant comparison be-
tween the McNamaras, the confessed
dynamiters, and the old Standard Oil
and Tobacco companies.
TO save their worthless lives,' he
said, referring to the dynamiters,
they entered pleas of guilty, insist
ing that they did it all for principle,
and expect an astohished world to ac-
cept their whining apologies
There is another court record
which we will, in passing, notice also

find the full record of two of the late
noted decisions. 1t is a tale twice told,

lawlessness. The plea of justification
is not unlike the plea of the planters
of dynamite, for, although the cast are
clearly in violation of law and the
rights of the public, it is claimed nev-
ertheless, that it was all done in the
interest of business growth and in
dustrial progress.

plea that twentieth century business

The ordinary newspaper for delivery,

In the twelfth century tablecloths
were very large and were always laid
on the table double. For a long time
they were called "doubliers" for that
reason. The cloth was first placed SO
as to touch the floor on the side at
which the guests sat; then all that re-
mained was folded SO that it just Gov

Charles V. had sixty-seven table
cloths which were from fifteen to twen-

had one cloth thirty-two yards long,
which had the arms of France en-
broidered on it in silk. All these were
fringed.
In the sixteenth century "doubliers"
were replaced by two tablecloths, one

"A third group of expenditures was

Referring to allotments for increas-

These were made with great re-

seemed unjustifiable, although with
in the language of the statute. They
were made because the facts were
believed to bring them also within the
spirit of the statute They were not
made because my opinion differed
from that of the Legislature in regard
to what those salaries should be; in
deed, the Legislature appropriated the
amounts which recommended at that

About that time law practice in Ho-

and it became increasingly difficult to
induce attorneys to accept public Of

signations from the Supreme and Cir

quest for new men for that depart

the Attorney General and his deputies
devote their entire time to their pub

salaries by private practice, as the
County Attorneys do now and the At

formerly. + +
