CITY TO UTILIZE THE

That Means. and Court House
Lawn Watsred From Same
Source, Is Plan.

The city council at it's meeting on
Tuesday night discussed the matter
of utilizing the flow of seepage
water from Garnet mesa to flush
the sewers, sprinkle the streets and
sprinkle court house park, for which
members of the council think there
would be a sufficient supply.
This water flows continuously
from the substratas of the mesa in
considerable volume and has never
before been thought of as a utility
proposition. To avoid it's being a
nuisance 1t has been ditched down
to Join the waters of the Gunnison
river and has filled no mission what
ever. Its fall is quite sufficient to
give it a pressure for loading the
shrinking wagons. as well as to send
II to the court house park on a
flood proposition for the lawns and
the matter of emptying it into the
sewers would be an easy one.
That such use OF this water would
go far toward the saving and rem
dering Efficient our supply of
Doughspoop water for domestic pur-
poses, is self-evident, as II would
save to the mountain supply. sew
eral hundred thousand gallons per
day. and would cut down the pump
ing expenses of the city to merely
an emergency proposition. II seems
resource which should have been
utilized by the city in some such
matter long ago.
The preparatory expense for its
usage. 1t is said. will be a mere trifle
compared with the benefits and saw
ings to accrue, and while the city
has for years spent thousands OF dol
lars to develop additional water in
places where there proved to be no

The father of two little boys said
yesterday, 1--WE endeavor to make
Sunday very pleasant day at our
house. but pleasant in different way
from week days." After parting from
him we wished we had asked some of
the ways in which the Sabbath was
made pleasantly different for his child
rem. and turning the light of memory
upon our own childhood recalled that
the telling of Biblical stories was most
pleasantly associated with Sunday
and our own father and mother and
the singing of hymns at twilight about
the piano was delightfully."- associated
with both father and mother. The
long, fre-lit room. the mother playing
softly, the father walking hand-in-
hand with his children up and down
the long room and all singing happily
some simple hymn, these are things
remembered of children, children who
rise up and call their parents blessed,
Now men have sort of Unborn gift
of storytelling that appeals nightly
to their small sons and daughters.
Mems stories are usually graphic,
optimistic, direct, humorous and do
not end with moral At least the
moral. if there is one, is not brought
solomnely out and paraded at the end,
like drug is uncovered beneath
sugar-coated pill. Mothers have such
= way of lacking depressing morals
to- stories. morals that point finger of
remembrance to childish misdemean-
ors. Fathers do not seem to recollect
at all that you have been bad-at any
rate, they do not underscore the
moral. which is a grevious habit from
a child's point of view. Besides, it is
an insult to the intelligence to have
morals pointed out to you, as though
you had an infants stupidity and
could not see them.
Bible stories are vigorous, dramatic
narratives, eminently suited to mas
culine raconteur, and we think that
fathers ought to furnish up their rusty
knowledge of Bibel tales and tell them
to their children on Sundays They
ought to assume the responsibility of
planting these fascinating narratives
in plastic minds and memories.
Every father wants his boy to grow
up credit to his parents and the ma
ton and here is a great gift not utiliz-
ed that may turn to good account.
Take, for example, the Mussulman
father. He whispers the formula of
Mohammedan faith into the ear of
his newborn infant, making the child
one OF the faithful almost with its
fist breath. Certainly, the parent who
is thus eager to consecrate his child
to spiritual things does not neglect
his religious instruction afterward.
Christian parents should stand to-
gether sponsors at baptism to their
little children and cetainly one of
happiest ways to spiritually guide un-
formed hearts and minds to knowledge
of the scriptures is along the pleasant
paths of storytelling. And we do
contend that most men tell stories
better than women.

hostess should remember to have for
her guest room is little card on

Washington, D. c., Aug. 25.-The i'm
parchment of Judge w. r. Bennett of
Fayette county, will not be dropped
following his resignation from the
bench in the event he should be re-
elected in November. His resignation
has prevented the impeachment pro-
ceedings at the present time but he
is candidate for reelection and it
has been presumed by some that his
resignation would prevent any pro-
ceedings looking to impeachment if
he should be reelected.
Citizens of Fayette county have
written to Congressman Davis of the
Judiciary Committee, asking for the
presidents and papers in the Arch
bald case stating that in the event OF
his reelection 1t is the intention to
push the charges against Judge Ben

cided by the committee that the fact
that an ace was committed during
one term OF office would not prevent
1t from being cited in impeachment
proceedings brought under another

MR.. UNDERWOOD
FOR GOOD ROADS
Leader OF the House Heartily In Fa-
vor of Improving country's
Highways

Emphatic endorsement OF the pur-
pose Of the American Road Congress
which Is t. pe held In Atlantic City,
September 30 TO October 8, Is given in
a statement by Representative Oscar
W. Underwood, Democratic leader In
the House, which, has just been issued.
The one great weakness Of the
movement for better roads In the Unit
ed States" said Mr. Underwood has
been the lack of correlation among
the various associations working to-
wards the same end but with different
methods One association has been ag-
itating one plan and another associa-
ton another plan. In consolidating
their convention interests the Amerl-
can Association for Highway Improve
ment, the American Automobile Assoc
citation. and the National Association
of Road Machinery and Material Man
ufacturers have taken great step for
ward. The plan that has been adopted
for treating each phase % the road
subject scientifically having leading
financiers In charge of the finance sec
ton, leading lawyers in charge of the
administrative section. should appeal
to the common sense OF the entire
country.
Il remember once being on the 9TH
er side OF the Atlantic ocean and
saw a great white feet Of ships that
had travelled around the world, sail
ing into the foreign port. the national
emblem OF our country at it's mast: as
they came steaming up the harbor |
was thankful that was an American
and felt thankful that we had the
greatest fleet that ever sailed around
the world. l remember once standing
along the line of a railroad system In
a distant country and al | saw a train
OF freight cars being hauled along the
track, noticed the locomotive that
was pulling the cars and II was Bald
win locomotive built In America by
our own people carrying the commerce
OF the world and again felt proud
that | was an American. But when
went up into the mountains of Switz-
erland and Italy and saw those magni-
flcent turnpikes, graded roads, rum
ming up the mountain sides, smooth
as concrete floor, cutters on the side
carrying off every drop OF water, per-
fectly smooth, SO that the people even
in that mountainous country could
carry their produce to the market at
the lowest possible outlay. then
thought of the terrible roads that
had seen in my own home state. that
had seen in almost every state in
the Union, and for once and only once
in my life, had to bow my head wiih
shame and could net declare that 50
far as our road system was concerned
was proud Of being an American citi-
zen.
Il have already introduced joint
resolution which has been prassed by
Congress providing for an appoint
ment of Congressional Committee to
investigate all phases of the road sub
ject have worked consistently to
benefit the roads of tine United States
and | believe that the American Road
Congress will chrystalize the move
ment and map out plan on which the
work can go forward in the future"
