UNDERWOOD FOR PRESIDENT.

The growth Of sentiment in favor Of
the nomination Of Underwood Of Ala.
bama for President is growing among
Democrats.
It Is becoming more and more ap.
parent that Underwood is a big man,
and that much Of the credit that Mr..
Clark gets for Democratic leadership
in Congress really belongs to the Ala.
bama man.
His friends say that his nomination
would unite the whole party, and the
very fact that he Is from the South
would win him votes from Republi.
rans who will rejoice in showing
their appreciation Of this evidence Of
o thoroughly reunited country.

TALKING ABOUT WATER.

Chicago has spent many millions OF
dollars in trying to secure a pure
water supply, with the best water in
the world right at its door.
When Chicago built a lake tunnel
four and one.half miles long 1t thought
II was astounding the world.
When II was discovered that the
sewage was communicating the water
supply the sanitary district, with all
OF it's expenses, was the result.
What lesson there Is In the fact
that Los Angeles, Cal, brings It's
water supply 24O miles. OF this length,
a. miles Is in tunnel and over nine
miles in steel siphons ten feet In
diameter.
