Fine Tribute 70 Wilson.

In his recent speech at Staunton. Va,
the birthplace Of the New Jersey Gov
ernor, former Governor Montague Of
Virginia pays this fine tribute to Wool
row Wilson
s.But the machine is not yet victorious;
the people still aspire, and leaders from
time to time come forth to lead. In
this city was born q man, now looming
large, in whom we hope for delive-ance.
He has the courage of soldier. the
philosophy Of the seer, and the sympa-
thy of the patriot. He has come from
the scholars cloister, and by no secret
passaeeway, to great place and power,
where his armor has been invulnerable
against the poisoned arrows Of the ma
chine. He has opened wide every pub
lie window in New Jersey and has food
ed that State with the light Of his con-
hdence and his plans. The machines
throughout the nation are already blink
ing in the blaze of Woodrow Wilson's
aacendancy, bordering whether they
should foully puncture the tire Of his
morning chariot or to leap there-upor

The Water Question.

The real reason that the Water
Company is treating this commu-
nifty so outrageously is that it
can't pay dividends on watered
stock and furnish pure water too.
Thousands of gallons daily are
taken from the town supply to
furnish the Baltimore and Ohio
locomotives. This water belongs
to and is paid for by the citizens
of this town, and should not be
shipped out. But the Water
Company needs this revenue to
pay dividends on its inflated CAPT
tai.
The Government has an expert
at work on an analysis of the
water now being furnished. We
will soon. therefore, have reliable
data as TO just how badly it is
infected. Then it is up to the
people of Charles Town to SUI
pinely continue to allow them
selves to be- imposed on, or to do
things and do them quickly and
hard.
