Responsibility for Splashes.

If the judgment of the superior
court in the Bergman case, which
was non-suited the other day, is to
stand as law, it is we'll that resi-
dents along logging streams should
know it. According to the published
reports Of the decision referred to,
the logging company was at liberty
to splash, and raise the water in the
river many feet to the possible dam
age of people living below, without
giving any notice; that a general
knowledge that the company is like
ly to splash two or three times a
week is sufficient, placing, by infer
ence, the responsibility for damage
upon the resident below the dam, who
is practically told by the court that
he must look out for the splashes at
the pleasure of the company owning
the dam.
This may be law, but it has not
the appearance of justice to the lay
man. The Bergman case will be ap-
pealed to the supreme court, and the
result will be watched with interest,
there being no precedents in this
state covering the case.

The Water Plans

The report of Egineer E. G. Hunt
on the water problem of Aberdeen
shows painstaking effort to lay be-
fore the public the exact conditions
which confront the city in this con-
nection. But, it was not the province
of the engineer to estimate on the
cost of sites at the various places
suggested, that will come up when
a definite project is agreed upon and
will, of course, be an additional ex-
pense.
To the Herald, Project A appears
the best offered, one that will fall
within the financial ability of the city
before long. Project B, makes the
pipe line seven miles longer than
Project A and is $4,000 more costly
with no offsetting advantages that are
apparent, while Project c. with a
pumping plant should be discarded
altogether on account of the perpet-
.Mal cost of pumping.
! II the city authorities we're to be-
gin now to acquire sites on the Wish
kah and Wynooche rivers, and right
of way, or at least learn what they
can be secured for, it is probable that
by the time they are secured the city
will be in position to begin the work
of extension. 1t is noted in the en-
gineer's report that storage dam On
the Wynooche would food part of
seven sections of land, and it it sug-
gested that investigation be made as

THAT THE REDUCTION WAS

INCREASED. Even the Herald can't
reconcile those two statements. But,
the Herald says, whether or not the
Herald pays or lodges it's taxes cuts
no figure in this controversy" You
bet it does so long as the Herald
presumes to cry tax-dodger at 9th

in view of the facts which no amount
of explanation appears to explain ex.

is hypocritical and absurd. The Her

eous idea that others were doing like
wise, only to find that the World has
been lodging one-half its just dues to
government ever since it was estab-
lished
This assessment has now gone in
to history, and this contention Is un.
profitable. This article would not
have appeared but for the unquali-
fed falsehood contained in the
Worlds editorial. 1t is commonly be-
lieved that the editor of the World
would like to be on the side of the
people in this contest for justice in
taxation, but has been powerless in
the hands of his financial hackers.
AS the discussion of valuations is
over, and the chief consideration is
now the matter of expenditures, we
hope to find the evening paper work
ing with the Herald to keep down
expenses to a point where they will
be neither a burden to those now
here or a menace to capital contem-
plating investment.

What Mr.. Bryan Should Do

Mr.. Bryan should take the advice
of his host of Republican friends and
relinquish the post of Secretary of
State. What we require in that port
folio. which is properly the fountain
head of the diplomacy of the entire
country, is a little more hypocrisy,
a little more sophistry, little more
indirectness. Mr. Bryan is much too
direct in his methods. He is too
much given to taking the public in
his confidence. He doesn't know
how to hold cards in his sleeve. He
is too ready to do what he thinks
is right without regard to it's effect
on the sensibilities of Republican
editors who have been used to some.
thing else. II his salary is not large
he should not seek to exc it out by
methods which are open, above board
and above suspicion. He should put
up the conventional American bluff
and say nothing about it. Instead
of talking to Chautauquas, he should
use some advance government infor
nation to take flier or two in Wall
Street, or he should help some of his
relatives to grab valuable bits of pub
lie property, or he should establish
an umbilical connection with a rail-
road corporation or a group of finan-
ciers or protected manufacturer

The Financial Budgets.

The financial budgets presented on
page one of the paper are not pleas
ant reading for the citizens of Aber'
deem. The levy of taxes in city OF
1900 which amounts to $50.93 for
every man, woman and child within
its borders, simply amounts to civic
suicide.
In the point Of manufacturing In
dustries, for which Aberdeen has SO
many, advantages, this city has been
marking time for the past three years
and will in all likelihood continue to
do 80 IL the tax rate Is not reduced.
It Is useless to solicit the investment
of capital in industrial enterprises
where the tax rate Is six or seven
per cent, and, as a matter OF self
preservation, the levy and amount
must be reduced.
It will require some backbone on
the part of the taxing boards to cut
off some of the wasteful barnacles.
but they will be amply repaid by the
gratitude of the people at large, and
the sense of aiding the progress of
the country.

THE PRINCESS PEARLS
Winifred Black

When the bells began to ring in the
old church, the beautiful princess ran
out with lap full of lovely pearls
and threw them all, very quietly and
very gracefully, to the swine.
And the swine grunted and wagged
their great ears, and blinked their lit
tie eyes, and the princess laughed and
clapped her hands and said: Isn't 1t
delightful to see them?" And all the
courtiers stood around and laughed
softly-they pretended they were
| laughing with the Princess, but they
were really laughing at her-it was SO
funny to them to see the swine wag
their ears, and to see the Princess
smile at them, but the Queen, the
mother of the Princess, closed her
eyes and did not laugh.
She could not, for she, too, had
thrown pearls before the swine and
she knew that it is not so pleasant
after a while.
