Slips their grip while greetip' you

Every jinglin' wedding bell
Skeerin' up some funeral knell-
Here's my song and there's your

WHY ALL THIS CRY?

The board of water commissioners
of the city paid $4,000 to Wenix and
We-la-lot-sam-i for land owned by
them at Thorn Hollow that the
springs on that land might be used
as a source Of pure water supply for
Pendleton. The money was paid
over TO these Indian women but there
was a proviso clause in the transac-
ton by which. if the springs proved,
after development, to be inadequate
for this purpose, the commissioners
could return the land to the original
owners and receive back the entire
purchase price.
Attorney John McCourt, counsel
for the Indian women, and Agent E.
l. Swartzlander both entered into
this agreement and any one who at
tended the trial of the condemnation
suit will know that Wenix and We
la-lot-sam-i would much rather have
possession Of their land than the
$4,000 or twice that sum. The pur-
chase money paid over by the COM
missioners is being held by Agent
Swartzlander pending the result of
the development now under way.
Why, then, all this hue and cry
ever the waste of the city's money
and the ruthless disregard by the
commissioners of the trust reposed in
them? Where is the alleged waste?
In the nominal expenditure for the
development Of the springs? Such
charge would be utterly ridiculous.
The commissioners have every reason
to believe from the report of an en-
gineer, recognized all over the north
west as being thoroughly competent,
that the slow from the springs is
adequate 20 supply Pendleton with
considerably more than the maximum
consumpuCn. What stamp of men
would they be, then, if they hesitated
in spen 3.as few dollars to ascer-
tein the accuracy and truth Of this
estimate before proceeding with the
construcuoa of gravity system or
dered by the people when they voted
the s20o.ao0 bonds? They have
everything TO gain and nothing to
lose Hy this expenditure and the av-
erage citizen VIII commend them in
their action
The fa~ men back Of the move to
discredit ths Thorn Hollow springs
through e'lsa motives know full
well that The commissioners have no
intention of pending the 100000
until they have determined that the
fow of Inc springs is sufficient to
give the city its needs. They know
fun wei that the two indian women
will Immediately and gladly refund
the $4,000 paid TO them for their land

the springs And yet, in the light Of
this knowledge they started cam

THE CONINIIsSIONER,S nooKs


Comes now the enemies of the
Thorn Hollow springs with the thin
~ veiled accusation that the board of
water commissioners of the city is a
body of graf5ess, It is cited that the
electric co.ayany pumps the city wa
ter for oHa cent per thousand gal
Ions and that the commissioners
charge the consumers twenty-five
cents per thousand gallons, and this
Is the basis of their insinuations of
existing dishonesty, wherefore it is
urged that the books of. the COM
mission be exported.
The man who ordered such insin-
uations to be drawn up and published
was well aware of his own dishon-
esty in so doings He knew that the
water commission before making its
annual report has always had its
books exported. He knew that this
exporting work has been done by E.
X. Cranston, ]. T. Lambirth and
Richard Mayberry, all of whom are
connected with local banks. He
knew, furthermore, what disposition
had been made of the money collect
ed from consumers at twenty-five
cents per thousand gallons over and
above one cent per thousand paid to
the electric company.
He knew all of these things for
they We're told to him no later than
last week by the chairman of the
commission and at the time he was
offered access to the books that his
own expert eye might detect ''the
niger in the woodpile." And yet he
did not hesitate to place stigma on
the honor of the members of this
commission by misrepresentation and
insinuation. But this is only in har-
mony with other tactics used by him
and the men behind him to discredit
the commissioners and the work they
are trying to do.
As for the money collected as rev.
erue from the water users, the gen.
tieman in question Cor the question:
able gentleman) knew that there are
a number of expenses in operating a
city water system other than that in
CURED in pumping, and he knew, or
could have known upon further in
quiry, that at the time the commits
sion commenced preliminary work
upon gravity sytem that it had ap-
proXimately $4,000 in general
fund and another $4,000 in re-
serve fund. He also knew or could
have known that the only obstacle in
lack of water. He knew that the
cheaper the rate the greater the con-
sumption through increased use of
lawn sprinklers and that such an in
creased use would produce a water
known that so low is the water in
the reservoir at the present time that
the street sprinklers have been stop
ped since last Thursday.
But all of these things were imma-
terial to this man and his set. They
! thought they saw a foundation, in
secure though it was, upon which to
base bold intimation of graft and dis
honesty out their structure was very
| fllmsy indeed and needed but the
gentle breath of truth to cause it.
wreck. And buried beneath its ruins

which some few might have thought
its builders actuated in their anti
commission campaign.

ANNUAL BASEBALL
MEETING MONDAY
Fans Will Gather in Superior Court
to Arrange for Next Seasons
Work.

A manager for next season will be
one of the important matters discussed
at the annual meeting of the Keokuk
Base Ball association which will be
held in the superior court room Mon
day evening.
The meeting promises to be one OF
the biggest and most important hav-
ing to do with baseball that has been
held In several years because of the
problems confronting Keokuk fandom
Whether there will be change in the
present directorate is not certain, but
the report is that several of the men
now serving want to retire. Another
matter of more than ordinary impo1
lance is the selection of a manager,
owing to the fact that Belts retire
ment has been announced.
1t will be almost a necessity next
season to have a playing manager, be-
cause of the reduced salary limit. And
it may also take shrewd baseball
man to cope with other C. A. leaders
with the limitations that the league
has set.
The present directors urge that
every fan in Keokuk turn out to the
meeting, which will be called to order
by President E. P. McManus at eight
O'Clock tomorrow evening.
