FOR USE TODAY
Superintendent Stobart Says Mains
Will be Free Of Impure Resaca
Water this Morning.

AT 1920 yesterday morning the
gan pumping water from the Rio
Grande river, and at the I'M hour
this morning it is promised that all
the water that was pumped from the
resaca will have been cleared from
the mains.
This, in substance, is the result of
quick action taken on the part of E.
A. Stobart, superintendent of the
water works system. when he, at
$50 o'clock Thursday night, set
J wo divers to the task of cleaning the
sand away from the intake pipe at
the river. This pipe is the II that
became choked in several feet of
sand uring a recent rise. and resulted
in the city switching to the canal
and resaca to get lis water.
Mr.. Stobart says that he can keep
the sand away from the intake pipe
at least until the new pipe line. pro-
posed and authorized at the last
meeting Of the city council, can be
constructed.
He also says that the water users
may begin using the water this
morning with the full assurance that
it is real iRo Grande river water.

through the pipe line, thence into
the filtration plant and from there
into the water mains.

CHANGE OF MIND.

No one has the right to expeu. or
demand Of another hat that other
shall never change his mind or alter
his opinions. The man who has not
frequently changed his mind and al
tered his opinions has either lever
lived long in this world or has no
mind worth speaking of. Yet we
can not and ought not TO follow the
leadership Of the nan who too fire.
quently changes his strongly ex-
pressed view, especially oil important
matters. Such a man need not com
plain if he speedily f~orfeits the con-
fidence Of the people. We feel that
in some strenuous hour of conflict he
may change again. and thus do harm
ITO the cause we hold dear.
This is why a man like Colonel
Roosevelt can never be followed with
confidence by the people.
Take for example the question Of
a III lCIlh " N ColhChL hlShNiJ
or wrongly the people consider that
a matter of great Importance. Once
Colonel Roosevelt considered it a MAJ
ter of great Importance. For just
before he closed his last term as
president he said:
"The wise custom which limits the
president to two terms regards the
substance and not the form, and
under no circumstances will | be a
candidate for reelection"
That is putting it about as strong
ly as it can be put. But now he has
changed his mind. What if he
changes his mind as to some other
equally earnest promise.
In August, 1911, he wrote to the
editor of the Pittsburg Leader: 81
must ask not only you but every
friend | have to see to it that no
movement whatever is made to bring
me forward for the nomination Of
1912. | should ear Gem it a general
calamity, if such a movement were
undertaken
Yet he flung himself bodily into
1.-THE arms of the first people who
Istarted a calamitous movement Of the
kind. Changed his mind? True. but
what if he shall change his mind as
to some or al lof his other vehemen
announcements? Suppose, for eX-
ample, she changes his mind back to
where ii used to be on the trust
question.

 The potato situation abroad offers no relief adequate to meet the demands here, and Scotland, which in 1909, and 1909, when our crop fell so low that we were obliged to import enormous quantities sent 2,6S4, ,000 bushels, cannot be depended on to send nearly 50 many this year Canada, which sent us L. ,000 bushels, has none to export and has buyers now in England, expect ing to import
 England, which furnished 1,7S5, 900 bushels, has a short crop. Holland and Belgium have none to sell. and Germany has been buying abroad. Mexico's crop has not been produced because of civil war, and she will be an importer instead of an exporter. Ireland, which. sent us about 2,000,O00 bushels, is the one fortunate country, but her prices will be very high, be- cause many countries are bidding for her crop.
 During the past week New York re- ceived 100000 sacks of potatoes on which a duty of 70 cents a sack was paid. Last year -importations began in October-though the normal time even in short years is December-and up to the first of 1912 the total inn portation was estimated at 500 0G0 sacks, all of this amount coming from England, Scotland and Ireland, rep reseuting a third of their total sur plus.

AS a matter of fact, said he, the women have always done half the worlds work, but recent so- ciaI conditions have resulted in theiI activities being transferred from the home to the industrial establishments. Many women are working under con- ditions that are bad physically and bad morally. Legislation is needed to memo these conditions.
