 TIE OASIS asks "Why such haste" in accepting the proposal to put in the machinery and bring the water from the river without advertising. The reason for that haste was. that the water Tn the wells IS already unusually low for this date, and from all present ap- pearances we are facing an extreme ly dry season, and as it will take about four months or more to bring and install the heavy machinery and piping, improvements and ad- iuncts necessary to secure water supply from the Santa Cruz river, and as proposals have been made by the only two firms in Nogales, apparently desiring to consider the matter, and comply with the ne- cessary specifications calling for high grade guaranteed machinery, piping and installation, under heavy bond, and the lowest of such proposals being so low as in the opinion of competent men to be a matter of doubt as to whether or not the contractors could carry 1t through without loss to themselves, 1t was considered by the Council as matter of good public policy, in view of the emergency conditions Goat once accept same, and com mence to order the machinery and piping immediately, without the long term of advertising which fl done would very seriouslydelay mat ters, besides apparently inCurring two or three thousand dollars loss. in an expected rise in the price of heavy steel piping which had al- ready been commercially notified. Inquiries were also made by the Council, if in the opinion of the Town Attorneys, advertising for bids could be dispensed with, Under the circumstances they were pf the opinion that it could be, and l understand that they are still of that opinion.
 Now further in relation to the right of the Council to purchase lhe Nogales Water Company's sys- tenn, l have always had and ex. pressed grave doubts AS to their light to do so, under the wording of the bonds and at the price de. manded, but the majority thought Otherwise and petition signed by quite a number of our prominent cltizeNs requesting the Genncil lc purchase the Nogale$ Waler Com. pany's eys'em, at a price not ex. ceeding $60,Q00 was presented anc is now on file which petition wa. auly considered by the Council especially in connection, with lh, snit of the Water Company, whicf held up the sale of the Bonds.

Gov. T. l. eddie.
Carson City. Nevada.
Dear Sir
Since talking to you about the nee
essity Of more good road building in
the western states. I feel it Is my
duty 10 write you about some Of the
good work that has already been
accomplished in your state.
In my position here. as manager
OF the Automobile Clubs touring
bureau. It has been my pleasure to
meet some three or four hundred
owners Of ars crossing the country
the past season. II Is through them
partially. and through personal OBJ
seryations. letters. and also through
articles published in eastern auto
mobile magazines. and journals that
I have learned Of the good work
done in the past and At the present
being performed BY one Of your
state citizens. Mr.. Gael 5. Hoag. OF
Ely. Nevada. Apparently this gen
tleman has been practically alone in
bis efforts to secure automobile ira
vel through your state. Every tourist
coming from the west into Utah
speaks Of Mr.. Hoags kindness to
them and his efforts to have them
leave your state with a good opinion
of Nevada. have sent some two
hundred cars TO him this past year
With instructions to take his advice
on all touring matters throughout
your state. and have as yet to receive
the first kick" on any advice he
las given them.
Through Mr.. Hoag's efforts. Ne
vada has been prominently brought
TO the notice OF the American Auto
mobile Association. an organization
of over N hundred thousand mem
bers. throughout America. The Au-
tomobile Blue Book Publishing com
pany, which is considered official IN
routing tourists. has recognized his
ability and recommend that autopo-
bile tourists pass through Nevada on
the information received from Mr..
Hoag.
Knowing as / do, the good that
comes from Eastern tourists seeing
cur western states from an automo-
bile. instead of from a closed sleep
ing berth, / can say without hesita-
ticn. that | believe the work done
by Mr.. Hoag is doing more to ad-
vertise the state of Nevada than any
other signle agency within the state.
II it ever comes within your power
to reward Mr.. Hoag in recognition
of his work. I believe the automobile
touring public would greatly ~appre-
ciate II.

Wilson on Tariff.

Governor Wilson's position on the
tariff is so clear and well defined
that it merits the closest study of
every earnest citizen. For example
he said in his speech of accept
ance:
The revision should begin with
the schedules which have been
most obviously used to kill compe-
tition and to raise prices in the
United States arbitrarily and with.
out regard to the prices pertaining
elsewhere in the world; and it
should before it is finished or inter-
mitted to be extended to every item
in every schedule which affords any
opportunity for monopoly, for spec
ial advantage to limited groups of
beneficiaries, or for subsidized con-
troll of any kind in the markets or
the enterprises of the country; until
special favors of every sort shall
have been transformed from a sys-
TEN of governmental patronage in
to a system just and reasonable
charges which shall fall where they
will create the least burden. When
we shall have done that, we can
fix questions of revenue and of bus
mess adjustment in new spirit
and with clear minds. We shall
then be partners with all the bust

The Child Should Work.

The education in school does not
fit the child entirely for work A
Graduate is not desirable work.
man when let loose from school
Two things are necessary. First.
habit of work and a knowledge OF
how work is done.
Many parents of today are allow
ing their children to grow up in
idleness and when grown this idle
habit sticks to them, A child
should be taught that work is nee
essary to health and to earn live
lihood. They should be taught that
those who will not work are not
desirable citizens to country.
Far too many parents fail to re-
alize that the habits formed by
children will linger with them when
they are grown up. Idleness begets
unrest and a desire to run about
the country and soon the expense
of all this will be greater than the
income and trouble begins.
Teach the child how to do things
and why they shoald be done and
let them get the habit of doing
work and they will grow to be good
citizens and good livers. Owen

The Mothers of Men.

The bravest battle that ever was
fought!
Shall ] tell you where and when?
On the map Of the world you will
find it not
Twas fought by the mothers of
men
Nay not with the cannon or battle
shot
With the sword or noble pen;
Nay, not with eloquent words or
thought
From the mouths of wonderful
of men!
But deep in the wall-up woman's
heart
OF woman that would not yield
But bravely, silently bore her part
Lo, there is that battlefield!
No marshalling troop, no biVouac
song,
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
But. oh, these battles that last 50
long
From babyhood to the grave.
Yet faithful still as a bridge of
stars,
The fight in her walIed-up town
Fights on and on in the endless
wars,
Then silent, unseen, goes down.

ness men of the country and day

ness men of the country and a day
of freer, more stable prosperity shall
have dawned."
Nothing can be clearer than that
Governor Wilson has given the sub
ject of tariff revision close and in
telligent study. He has avoided the
reactionary attitude of the taft
Republicans, and has put to shame
the disingenious quibbling of the
third-term candidate in the discus
sion of this important issue of the
campaign. He has left nothing to
inference but has clearly and hon
estly stated his position. The
American people. who have so long
been the victims of republican rep
udiations of platform pledges re-
garding the revisions of the tariff,
will find Governor Wilson's frank
and clean cut statement refreshing
and inspiring. His speech of &C
ceptance holds out the prospect for
the first time in many years that
the tariff will be actually revised
downward and revised with refer
ence to the good of all the people
rather than for the special inter
ests which heretofore have been
able to prevent the Republican Par
ty complying with its solemn plat
: form pledges. Fulton Telegraph.
