S H OULD VOTE SEW E R
BON

Without doubt the best i'm
provement the citizens of Cot
tonwood could make this year
and one that should by all means
be made just as soon as possible
would be the installation Of a
sewer system for the town. The
expense would not be very great
to put in a sewer main from, say,
the brewery to below the flour
mill and another main up King
street and the benefits derived
therefrom would be so great as to
beggar description. Cottonwood
needs sewer system badly, in
fact, will have to have one be-
fore great while, and we can
see no reason why the matter
cannot be taken up this year and
completed before fall. Situated
as this town is, it is very difficult
to take care of the sewage and
in many places it follows the
rock to the surface of the ground
and then becomes a serious
menace to the health of the COM
munity. By putting in two sew
err mains through town the citiz-
ems could install lateral drains at
their own expense and thus set
tie the trouble for all time.
Sometime, if something is not
done soon to correct the trouble,
state health officer may order
a sewer put in, so why wait for
this to occur. Any material
street improvement or paving
cannot be done until the sewer is
installed so it is almost necessary
to put in the sewer in the near
future.

The democrats declared a truce in their

by President Taft long enough yesterday
afternoon to allow the confirmation of
Carmi A. Thompson, former secretary to
the President. as treasurer Of the United

no fight against confirmation.
But the filibuster is on again today in
full vigor Since the meeting of the Sem

democrats intend to fight the confrma-

meeting Of the committee the democrats
informally outlined their position to the
republicans. but the fight did not come
