THE CITY RECORDER.

Recorder Hurt has nearly complet-
ed the checking up of water consum-
ers. He found that S91a acres were
being irrigated which had failed to
get onto the city books, thus losing
to the department $716 per year
from that source. 1t was discovered
that A homes and business houses
were getting the service but were not
paying, thus losing $633.6O per year
on that score. Then there were 13O
of those who were paying on a less
rate than the ordinance provides and
losing to the department from that
source $4,000 per year Total in
crease per year, $1,6S6.2O.
Some of the consumers had not
been on the books at all and others
had not paid for as long back as
twelve years.
We have wondered why more of
the water bonds had not been retired
from the income of the department.
The above shows part of the reason,
at least.
Mr.. Hurt is to be congratulated on
his splendid showing in getting the
departments of the city onto a sub
stantial business basis. We have
heard he has met with some opposi,
tion from the citizens as well as from
some members of the council. We
cannot see why any citizen should be
opposed to installing good business
methods in the city departments, un.
less he was expecting some undue
advantage to accrue to him by lal
methods, or why any councilman
should stand in the way of a thor
ough business system unless some
thing was to be gained by such laxity
Recorder Hurt has had too mucf

should have the hearty support ant
cooperation of the citizens as wei
as the city administration He is do
ing splendid work and the Tiding

THE THEATRE.

The theatre is a place inhabited by
people who seek to drive dull care
away and forget the size of their coal
bill. Theatres usually have stage
with a growth of natural timber and
a draft which causes the leading man
to make love in tones bearing a close
resemblance to the notes of an eX-
piring pump. There is always a
good deal of loose scenery in a thea
tire, and not all of it is confined to
the stage. Some of this scenery
chews gum and talks about the new
styles in shirtwaists during the death
scene, while another variety enters
in the middle of the first act and
makes everybody in the fourth row
of the orchestra circle double up like
a six-foot emigrant in a chair car.
There is nothing that will bring back
the mind of the absorbed spectator
to this mundane sphere quicker than

SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN ORGAN
IZATION.

After having lived, as a republican,
in a solid south state for fourteen
years, and having had the steam roll
er pass over our remains at least
fourteen times, we somewhat appre-
ciate the position Teddy occupies in
the present national convention.
When we consider that the steam
roller process is only made possible
because delegates elected from such
states represent not real republican
organization but a federal pie counter
machine, we do not blame Teddy for
resenting It. The solid south repnb-
lican delegations can always be de-
pended upon to stand hitched to the
administration, because the organiza-
tion has no existence outside of fed
eral patronage. When there is any
dirty work TO be done these delega-
tions can be depended upon to do it,
because it exists only in corruption
through dirty political manipulation.
The republican machine of the south
ern states is the most corrupt, unre-
publican organization on earth. 1t
has done more to keep the solid south
wholly in the democratic column
than all other agencies combined. 1t
has made it disgraceful to be a re-
publican in the south, because the
organization is not respectable. II
has no purpose in the world except
TO control federal patronage. In or.
der to keep its hold better on the
offices its policy has been always tC
party in the south. The desire of the
organization is only for enough white
adherents to fill the federal offices
and all others are discouraged anC
browbeaten until they become dis
couraged and lose interest in tn,
party or are cheated out of represen
tation until they give it up.
There has not been a delegation
seated in the national republican con
yention from the south since recon
struction that was not stolen dele
cation. 1t exists only to be bough
by patronage or cash as seems mos
expedient and has been one of tn
main corrupting influences in the re
publican party.
Southern republican organization
in the interest of decency, should |
blotted off the face of the earth.
it proves a dominating factor in II
national organization, as it is prove
to be in the national convention ju
closing, it is we'll if the whole repu
lican party be destroyed rather tina
be dominated by such a force.
The Tidings is strictly with TedC
in his denunciation of corrupt soutl
ern domination in the national orgal
ization. We know the things Roos
welt says about the theft of delegate
are absolutely true.

WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE
BOOK-SHOP?

Mayor GaynOr of New York, in
an address delivered the past week
to the Booksellers Convention, de-
plored the passing of the old-fash-
ioned book-shop. His regret is
shared by many.
II takes a pretty good sized city
nowadays to maintain a bookstore
that shall stand on its own feet.
minus artificial help from lines of
sporting goods and cheap candy.
The secondhand book-shop as you
find it on the side streets of large
cities, amid inglorious companionship
Of junk-shops. its location known to
a select circle of book-worms. is the
closest approach TO the old-time
bookstore, which once was found in
comparatively small towns.
The news stands of today keep pa
per novels, but the sales are more
dependent on the orange and blue
pictures on the covers than on the
brains of the writer or his place in
the Hall of Fame.
The old-time bookstore was kept
by people who loved books. There
might not be much money in it. But
they gained a certain satisfaction
from intimate communion with the
great men OF past and present
through the printed page. At dull
hours and rainy days they could be
found in secluded alcoves browsing
among old favorites.
The clerks might be pale and spec
tacled young persons who needed a
course at dances and football. But
at least they were book-lovers too.
They ran their hands with an affec-
tionate caress over the backs of their
cherished volumes as they passed.
They so hated to let a favorite go
from their shelves that they did not
push the sales of their wares with
success. But if you wanted an opip-
ion about what to read, they could
give you an offhand judgment that
had authority
There is an increasing tendency
among dry goods and department
stores to keep books. They ought to
! be patronized by their towns people
/ for the more books are bought the
more thought and attention will be
! given by the merchants to making
4 good selections.
The experience of buying a book
in the great metropolitan department
store is quite a contrast from the
musty but romantic flavor of the old
time book-stall. The counters ar,
carefully busted, the books glitter
with their bright covers and titles
But if you want a bit of advice, tn,
fluffy haired clerk might know
good deal more about the last bur
lesque show at the theatre than sh
would about Mr.. Dickens and MI
Thackeray.
