TONE POEM.

On high the rockets CLEAN and glare
And iridescent spangles glance
Athwart the bosom OF the air
Full jeweled with their radiance.
Below the bursting OF the bombs
Which on the sidewalk dart and dance
Tells that the sulphury perfumes
Soon viii the twilight air enhance.
And now there comes ringing clang
And hoofbeats as the chargers prance-
It is the warning bingl and bang.
Made by the speeding ambulance.

Meridian Owes $s,OoO.0o


t..stion Of property in the vii
ls0s Of Meridian, Chairman j. M.
Anderson, of the town board, made
statement of the finances of the
village and that there was an out
standing indebtedness on account
Il the water works of about Sc. 900,
and personally favored the calling
of q bond election to raise funds
d pay the overdraft of this
amount, which, 10 now held by a
local bank.
While this came somewhat as a
surprise, it has besn understood
for several months that the
original bond issue was long since
amended. To understand why
the issue was not sufficient it will
be necessary to go little into the
history OF the water works.
First, the board called a mass
meeting Of citizens to consider
The matter of bonding the village
for water works, and the sentiment
being unanimous, an election was
called. which resulted in a solid
vote with 8 exceptions) for the
bonds. Estimates were drawn by
experts and it was understood that
everything could be built with the
$4,000 bonds voted. After the
estimates were made however,
more territory was added to the
main pipe lines, and recently two
lines we're completed costing about
1900, and at least this much was
appended over the original
estimate for pipe lines.
About $500 was expended for a
lot, while it was first thought that
the small lot near the Jail, owned
by the village, could be used. 1t
was planned to have a house foT
the plant to cost $40O, but there
was demand for a better build
ing, and the present brick struct-
ore costing 81 900 was built.
The pump and machinery cost
5000, instead of 81, 200, originally
estimated. 1t was first thought a
shallow we'll piston pump would
do, but centrifugal pump, with
motor and compressor, make an
squipment for pumping the water
that is in every way better.
It was thought the we'll would
cost $500. but this item was $500.
Double casing was necessary, and
after the first contractor got
though, there was expense in
pumping out sand, and in driving
Ihs pipe four feet deeper.
The fire house and apparatus was
notfgured in the original estimate
and cost $lll5.0O.
This makes the amounts, over
and above the original sum figured
on, as follows:

The South vs.. The West.

A news item from Seattle, Wash, last
week, says:
The Back Home" movement to the
South is much discussed in this city and
in all the cities and towns of the far
West. Everywhere, in clubs, hotels
and railroad trains you hear argument
about it. 1t is the general opinion that
the movement will turn a tide of home
seekers towards the South which. here
tofore. has over-run the West and pour
ed over into Canada. A newly COM
pleted Western Railroad is TRYING to
draw upon the congestion of home
seekers on the Pacific Coast for settlers
to go upon the barren territory along its
lines in Idaho, Montana and sections
east of here.
Western Commercial Clubs, although
they deride the Back Home" move
ment, are nevertheless rebuilding their
efforts to continue the movement of
people to this Western country. The
high officials of railroads say nothing
about it, but from subordinates, it is
learned that they are seeking a plan to
the Back Home" call and
the demoraliizing effect it is having on |
from the South.

A DIFFERENCE IN PROCEDURE.

The procedure so far of the reciproc-
ity act with Canada well illustrates the
difference bt tween the two systems of
government. In this country the adj
ministratlon could not command in eth
er house a majority of Its own support
ers therefore the success of the meas
ure was due to the support given it by
the political opponents of the admins
tration. Under the Canadian system an
administration that cannot command a
majority of its supporters on a govern
ment bill necessarily resigns or appeals
to the country.
The difference of action is due to the
fundamental difference between the
two systems. OF any President Of this
country it may be said he occupies the
two fold position of chief magistrate
and the headship of his party. In Can
ada the two positions are separated, the
Governor General being the chief
executive and acting neutrally AS to
politics, while the premier or head of
the cabinet is the leader of his party.
If, then, Sir wilfred Laurier had
failed, as President Taft failed, to COM
msnd the support of his own party he
would have resigned or appealed to the
country through a fresh election. To
be sure Sir Wilfred has appealed, but
1t was because of the obstructive policy
in parliament of the opposition party.
This. again, shows the legislative differ
ence between the two nations. Here
the minimum and maximum life of con-
gress is fixed at two years. In Canada
maximum limit only, and that of five
years, is fixed, and the government can
at any time before the expiration of the
five years dissolve parliament. This
has just been done after a parliamen-
tary life of three years only.
