Cutting Of the Water.

Mondays Herald roasted the
city water collections because.
forsooth. it was delinquent and
was cut off as per the city ordl-
nance-Grays Harbor Post.
Our weekly contemporary errs
when he calls the Herald article a
roast for anybody, or that it was in
spired by reason of the editor having
had experience with the system. This
paper, unlike the Post, is not used as
a vehicle to carry the pleasures or
displeasures of its editor. 1t is the
city ordinance that was, and is, COM
planned Of The system of cutting
off the water supply and mulcting
the forgetful consumer in the sum Of
a dollar without notice of any kind, is
absolutely indefensible from any bust.
nesslike point of view.
Suppose the telephone service was
to make such rule, and, without no.
tice, cut off the wires of all unpaid
patrons on the 10th of the month,
how long would it be tolerated? In
engaging in the water business, the
city should set the pace in business
courtesy, whereas, under the present
system, it exhibits degree of dis
courtesy that could only be afforded
by a monopoly.
Suppose, for sake of illustration.
the city had competition such as
other lines of business have, and the
consumer had the option of using the
water of which party he chose.
In such an event, does one suppose
for moment the city would treat its
(freel customers in such an arbi.
trary manner? Not on your life. That
illustration alone convicts the ordi-
nance of gross discourtesy.
If the present system saved any
money to the city it might find de.
tenders, but it does not. The water
department sends man out to give
personal notice few days before the
supply is cut OIL, at greater expense
than a postal notice to all delinquents,
with the additional objection that he
does not always find the householder
at home.
Inquiry at the water office reveals
the fact that less than 100, on the av-
erage, are delinquent on the 10th of
the month, and that 50 per cent of
those are busy people who have for
gotten to pay, having received no bill
to jog their memory. 1t is admitted
that postal card mailed to those de-
linquents on the 18th, would bring in
80 per cent Of them before the 10Th,
and the tired housekeeper would avoid
the annoyance of having the water
cut off just as she was preparing a
meal, or bath.

MARKHAM SINGLE MILL BURNS
Mill Property, Dry kilns, Houses and
Five Million and a Half Shingles
are Destroyed BY Flames.

Fire starting from the refuse burn
err early Thursday afternoon destroy
ed the Markham single mill at Mark
ham, on the south side Of the har-
Dor, entailing a property loss of %,
600. Along with the mill We're de-
stroyed the dry kilns, two cottages
belonging to the company, the bunk
house, two cars loaded with shingles
standing on the siding, and almost
5,5O0O,000 shingles. Insurance of
$4,000 was carried on the plant.
A deal for the controlling interest
in the plant was closed Wednesday
Messrs. Eastman and Fletcher of Ia
coma buying 81 per cent of the stock.
Henry Anderson and Alfred Beaulieu
retained their interest. The new
owners took charge of the plant Wed.
nesday and the next day they saw it
burn to the ground. The fire started
from the refuse burner during the
lunch hour and it was but few
minutes before the entire plant was
in flames. For a time it was feared
the new Deming mill would also be
burned, but the wind changed from
the east to the west and carried the
flames the other way. The Demine
plants fire pump was also set to
work and helped keep back the
flames.
The company's Office and hotel
was destroyed, but the fire was check
ed before any of the buildings oc
cupied by employees We're destroyed
The county bridge across the Johns
river at point near the mill was
saved after a strenuous fight.
Plans are underway for the i'm
mediate rebuilding of the mill ant
kilns which were destroyed by fire
according to a report brought to the
city today. The mill was built at {
cost of about $4,000.

concerned the Honorable Champ Clark
is still way in the lead He has been
carrying State after State with only
brief campaign over other candi-
dates who have been busy since way
last fall.
There is just now lot of IN
founded gossip about Colonel VIII
liam j. Bryan getting into the fight
once more at Baltimore and having
his friends attempt to stampede that
Convention to him. That is not go
ing to happen. No man in this cour-
try can now take away from him tho
pledged delegates to Mr.. Clark. It
is only human nature that those de-
legates controlled by Governor Har.
mon, will never go to Mr.. Bryan be-
cause Mr.. Bryan has attempted to do
all he can to defeat Governor Har-
mon.
1t is also natural that if Mr.. Under.
wood and his friends see that he can.
not be nominated, they should ask
that all his delegates be thrown to
Mr.. Clark. Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Under.
wood are the closest kind of friends.
They understand one another thor
oughly and it is to them and their
work that is due the harmony and
the team work of the Democrats in
the House of Representatives.
Mr.. Underwood knows thoroughly
and we'll that if Mr.. Clark is NOM
mated he will be elected President.
In that case it means Democratic
House of Representatives also and
that means Underwood for Speaker,
of the next House. That is the big
gest job in this country except the
presidency and with the kind Of re.
cord Underwood would make
as Speaker, he would succeed
Mr.. Clark as President because
he is still young man and
can afford to wait a few years
Take it altogether it looks like tho
Honorable Champ Clark would he
named on the second ballot or not
later than the third as the standard
bearer of the Democratic party at
Baltimore the last of next month.

THE NATIONAL
CONVENTION
That the Republican Conven-
ton Will Split Now APP
pears to be Certain
ROOSEVELT WILL BOLT
Democratic Candidates Make
Dignified Campaign For
the Nomination

WASHINGTON, D. c., June T.
Especial Correspondence of the Her
ald) An analysis of the vote in all
Republican primaries in every State
that has held primary election
where Roosevelt has won, will show
to the observant citizen that there
has not been 80 per cent of that vote
polled in any State. That absolutely
proves that the greatest portion of
the voters of the country who have
hitherto been Republicans are
thoroughly digusted with the manner
Of campaign that is being made by
these two doughty warriors in the
Republican ranks for the Presidential
nomination, and that they have stud
iuosly stayed at home. That means
that they want neither Taft nor Roose-
welt. They are sick and tired of this
sort of politics, not only the weak
backbone policies of Taft but the
strenuously radical policies OF Roose-
welt. and that they prefer Democrat
with patriotism and brains and de-
cency TO either one of these men in
the Presidential chair
There are men offering to bet that
Roosevelt will be nominated and if
he is nominated. it will make me out
a bad prophet because ] have said
all along in this correspondence that
Mr.. Taft would be nominated Now
then, Taft may not be able TO hold
all of his delegates that have been
instructed or pledged to him and the
Roosevelt forces, adopting the same
strong arm methods used by their
chief, they may go to Chicago and
bulldoze through the nomination OF
Roosevelt. but | do not believe it.
The leaders of the Republican par.
ty, that is the old-fashioned Republi-
can leaders, who are still in control
of the National Committee, do not
intend to allow Theodore Roosevelt
and a hand full of Republican insur-
gents to take control of the Republi'
can party so long as they can help
it and believe they can. They pass
on all these contests between Taft
and Roosevelt, and it is a safe bet
that they will run the steam roller
over every contesting Roosevelt de
! legation that comes before them

control the temporary organization OF
that convention and that temporary
organization will APPOINT the commit.
tee on Credentials and that committee
will follow the National committee s
recommendations and seat the same
delegates, thereby giving Taft the
nomination on the first ballot. That
means further. that Roosevelts peo-
pie will cry fraud, withdraw from the
Convention, hold a convention of their
own, nominate Roosevelt on an in
dependant ticket on the ground that
he has been willfully defrauded of the
nomination after he was the people S
choice.
The Republican leaders are firmly
convinced that this will happen, also
that this spells defeat for the Repub.
lican ticket next November. Never
theless and Notwithstanding, they pre-.
fer defeat and Democratic success to
the success of Roosevelt which means
anarchy and disintegration of the Re.
publican party. They would rather
take defeat at the hands of pa
tritic Democrat than success with
publican party which does not mean
the Republican party as they have
been taught and believed all their
lives because the Republican party
they believe in is the Republican
party of public plumber through a pro-
tective tariff.
The talk of third man or dark
horse winning the nomination is sub.
siding very materially. The reason is
there is no self-respecting Republican
willing to take the nomination with
the conditions facing them after this
campaign of vituperation between
Taft and Roosevelt. They know they
would be defeated and they are not
crifce simply to pull the chestnuts of a
few standpat republicans out of the
fire. So it does not make any difference
to the Democrats of this country who
is nominated on the Republican ticket
they will beat that candidate to a
FRAGILE
There is so much difference in the
camnaign being made nv the Demo
cratic aspirants for the Presidential
| nomination and that OF the Republi-
cans that it is almost sacrilege tC
mention both contests in the same
letter. Nearly everybody in the poll
teal world in Washington is contrast
ing the decency and dignity Of the
Democratic candidates with that oil
the Republicans. When any patriotic
citizen sits down quietly and figures
on the vituperative, disgusting and
abhorent campaign made by the re-
publicans and great difference the
| quiet decent and Statesmanlike
attitude of such men as Chamr
t Clark. and Oscar Underwood
they can but come to one conclusion
that is, there is not a Democratic
candidate who would not make a bet
ter President than either of the can
didates on the Republican ticket. Sc
far as the Democratic candidates are

h'tGerto had not been spoken of at all. or only in whispers. did so with definitely moral intention: a moral purpose so obvious as to ruin their art.
 The novel of today presents i'm moral characters acting immorally but presents them in new way way that takes the violation of the conventional sexual morality as the merest matter of course. some thino calling for no comment, still les for censure. In many of the uptC- date books the breaking of the sev- enth commandment is. at it were. just an act of politeness, like the raising of a hat. or the handing of q chair. And this tendency of nod ern fiction, inspired by the reading public's demand. is so strong that il has called forth magazines to cater to il. Tn many of our periodicals the stories exploit a sentiment al most simian. fir love in them takes small account of matrimonial bar rlers. These magazines would most certainly not print such stories un- less they aleased the people upon whom the publishers are dependent for profit. The Cosmopolitan frankly admits that Robert w. Chambers risque serials have doubled it's cir. eulation
 There is a world of room for spec ulation as to what may be the mean ing, the end. of this drift towards the ncn-moral treatment of sex re- latcns in recent fiction. Let others. however. with more space and larger mind undertake the discussion. Per haps, after all, it is only passing fashion, or else merely indicative Of greater tolerance But while we wait for this discussion. would it not be well to bear in mind the Young Person? Is it good that he or she should be allowed to read such stuff?-Rocky Mt. News.

NON-PARTlSAN,

There is nothing more amazing than the manner in which people cling to partisanship in the face of plain proof that their enemies are entirely non-partisan. Take the Mil waukee election as case in point Two years ago the voters of the Wisconsin city elected a Socialist mayor as a protest against the rot tenness of the two old parties Mayor Seidel was defeated for reelection, but how? The Re publican and Democratic gangs" put aside all pretense of partisanship, nominated a single ticket, and join ed workers" and 'slush funds"
 There is not a corpc ration ruled city anywhere in the whole country that isn't operated under bi-parti- san agreement. The pretense of partisanship is only kept up in order to catch what ward workers term the sucker vote"-that is. the votes or those who cast their ballots for the parties of Lincoln and Jeffer- son."
 Mayor Seidel gave the people a clean. honest, efficient administra- tion. He did not try to put the cardinal principles of Socialism into practice at all, but simply attempted tc put an end to rottenness and put civic affairs on firm business basis.
 Many important contributions to community well-being were made, however. chief among them being a Bureau of Economy and Efficiency. As the Survey notes: Under the general direction of Professor John k. Commons of the University of Wisconsin, this bureau secured as consulting experts such men as Major Charles Hine, organization expert for the Hartman lines; Professor w. T. Sedgwick of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, on health and sani- tation, and men of similar high standing in the fields of engineering, accounting, social work and finance and taxation. It has published near ly score of valuable bulletins deal ing with various departments cf the city administration or with matters closely connected with the welfare of the city"
 In addition to this, municipal ice plant was proposed, work on the municipal lighting plant pushed for ward, and a municipal stone quarry
