(f1dTIlUTQ I lluCSsI
 It may be of interest to certain ho- tel and restaurant keepers of this and other cities and towns in the state to know that they are in danger of hne varying from $10 to $100 for Keeping the good old roller towel on duty m the public lavatory. The recent ana reluctant" general assembly, to use Nod Osbornism, enacted measure 10 provide individual towels in hotels and other public lavatories.s Ordinarily it might be deemed bit of hardship on the keeper of a public lavatory in a cafe if the law would make it neces- sary for him to set out fresh toWel for every guest, but an ingenious nina has come to the aid of such with the invention of the plotting paper roll: TO dry one's hands or face, the patron merely tears off a section of the espe- cially prepared paper roll and when he is through with it drops it into the receptacle. The law reads as fol- lows:
 .Section 1. All towels provided by any hotel. for the use of guests there in. or by any public lavatory, shall be individual towels, and when used and discarded by the individual shall not be used until thoroughly washed and dried. Each guest occupying room in any hotel shall be furnished With such towels in such room, and in the public wash room. if any, m such hotel. there shall be kept at all times, in sight and easy of access to guests, a sufficient supply of individual tow els.
 ''Sec. 9. The owner, manager, agent or person in charge of any hotel or public lavatory who shall fall to com ply with any of the provisions of this act shall be fined not less than ten dollars nor more than one hundred dollars for each offenSe."
 While the law does not specifically state. it is believed that the duty of enforcement will fall upon the health officials

DETROIT WILL HAVE
 THREE-CENT FARES

Mayor Thompson. and the Detroit United Railway. have come to an agreement, and Detroit will have Sc fares.
 Slowly but surely the bulldog grip of the parasite trusts is being loos- ened from the throat of the public
 Mayor Tom Johnson showed years ago, that Sc fares were practical and profit-returning in Cleveland. And why shouldn't this condition be uni- versal? Also. and including, a seat for every fare-payer-adult or child. They dp it abroad in the municipally owned street railways of Glasgow, Edinburgh. and all over New Zealand and Australia. and still return a fair profit to themselves on the money invested. That is, working men and women ride for one half the usual penny fare during working hours; school children free going to and from school.
 But that system doesn't develop any Elkinses. Belmonts, Shonts and other "magnates," who usup that which should belong to all the people-the right to their own streets-and use these rights as means of extortion and oppression.

City Making Good
 On Water Supply
Profit of $2,6S3, ,729.7O ei Bonds Issued Fer City's
 Supply
CThe New York Call.)

Mayor Gaynor received yesterday from Henry s. Thompson, Commis- sioner of Water Supply, Gas and Elec- tricity, letter in reply to a request for figures showing that the water system of the city was self-support- ing.
 The Mayor announced as follows:
 'I have received from the Controller a statement showing that the total amount of bonds issued for the com pleted water systems now in operation is $S6,933. .517.76," wrote Thompson. s'It this money has been borrowed at per cent. the annual interest charge would be $3, S77, 34071. The appropria- tions of this department for all bor- oughs for water supply purposes amount to $4,623, GOO per annum, which added to the $S,S77, ,S40.71, makes a to- tai of $S,50O, ,340.1, as a total against the completed water system for the city, and also the running of the de- partment.
 sCoilections last year amounted tc SIS, ,283, 150.41, which would show a net profit to the city at the present time on its completed water system of $4, 7S2, ,S097O. There have also been is- sued, in addition to the above, $53, ,602, ter supply. This, also at per cent interest, would make a further charge at the present time against water rev enues of $2,144,0S0, which makes the profit for all bonds issued for water purposes at the present moment $2,- 683. .729.70.
 If the total cost of the Catskil aqueduct is to be $172, 1000, ,OO0, this would mean that the city has to lay out $119, ,0O0, 900 more. which, at pel cent. interest, would amount to $4,- 760, ,000 additional. This, under the present revenues, would show a loss of $2,121, ,270. 30. However, when the Catskill work is finally completed, we expect to be able to shut down 2 great many of our Brooklyn pumping stations, and this will save a consider able amount in the running of the de partment.
 At present do not know whai plan is best followed for the amortiza. ton of water bonds"

found in Kipling's sheer at women the Indifferent rhyme which he has named, ''The female of the species is deadlier than the male."
 This poet of blood and primitive passion, of lust and tooth and nail philosophy, says that women should not vote, because they are chiefly charged with the perpetuation of the race. That is, women should no, vote because the future is more in women than in men.
 The forces behind the universe move constantly to some goal. The generations unborn are more the charge of that intelligence than the living. All philosophy asserts this; all facts show it.
 The societies that men have built, the governments they have establish ed, the laws they have passed con- stitute the environment which safe guards the present and assures the future.
 Kipling's chief assertion becomes dominant against him.
 It MUST be folly to deny those a voice in the creation of institutions that determine the racial future, who are the chief custodians of that fu- ture.
 Since high-flung speech redundant with distractions may state the truth better than concrete illustrations, but rarely drives it home as we'll. let us illustrate.
 There are such problems as child labor. the industrial employment of females excessive hours. the social problem, the economic conditions de- laying marriage. the failure of socie- ty to reward or protect motherhood and the matter of alcoholic intemper- ance.
 All of these practical problems ot everyday life have profound bear ing upon tomorrow.
 It is not likely that some of them will be better solved, adjusted, eli minated-or at least moro speedily solved-when. the mothers, of the species have voice of power in their determination?

WILL TAFT BE
 RENOMINATED?
View of Repub ican Presidential Situation by Tsaned
 Ob erver
By Clyde H. Tavenner. Special Wash ington Correspondent of The
 Farmerl

ington Correspondent of The Farmer.)
 Washington, Nov. 13-will President Taft be renominated?
 This question, which is being asked and re-asked all over the United States, Is the theme of an article by Frank B. Lord, well known Washing ton newspaper correspondent, in the National Monthly.
 "We are told by the bread and but ter brigade of administration adher- ents that the President is steadily retrieving losses,,' and that he is daily gaining ground" that the Taft regime is failure, !" says MT. Lord.
 "What are the facts with reference to the opposition to MT. Taft within the ranks of his own party? In the House, during the last session of Con- gress, twenty-eight Republicans saw fit to join with the Democrats in sup porting measures which the President saw fit to prevent from becoming laws. In the Senate, thirteen Repub- licans, more than one-fOurth of the entire membership on the majority side, for the most part openly and vigorously fought his policies. Nine or LucS6 ItSpuOllCdu OctldtOIS nave Q0- clared against MT. Taft's renomina- ton.
 were these differences merely per- sonal or petty, discussion of them might be abandoned, but they are not of that sort. The differences between the President and that faction of his party which has come to be known as 'sProgressive'' are fundamental; they strike at the very roots of the func- tions of government and it is scarce ly conceivable that any consideration of political expediency. or the desire for party supremacy. or the Republi- can lust for office, can now unite the warning factions.
 Flight months before that motley aggregation of standpatters and pro- greSsiveS, reactionaries and near pro- gressives, regulars and insurgents, ad- ministration and anti-administration partisons, Lily Whites and Blackand- office holders, which will go to make up the list of delegates to the next
 Republican National convention, shall assemble, this opposition to MT. Taft within the ranks of his own party finds expression in we'll directed;
 ably financed, organized and system
 atic campaign to defeat, him for re- nomination.
 ssThe names of more than POO, GOO Progressive Republican voters are at this time on the mailing list of this organization, and this list is growing with leaps and bounds. Long before the delegates to the convention are chosen, this league will have it's or ganization effected in every State in the Union, and it's adherents will be preaching the doctrine of anti-Taft. Definite results from the Progress sive Leagues work will soon be in evidence, for, before the Ides of March, one State-North Dakota-will have chosen delegates to the convention. Already it is the confident claim of | the La Toilette followers that he will be endorsed for the nomination. ssBut even considering all these con- ditions, sane view of the situation compels the admission that up to this point the odds are in favor of the. re- nomination of MT. Taft"
