An exchange remarks that
confidence men are the most
wicked of men. How about those
who are taken in by the conf
dence men? Was it not on ac-
count of desire on their part to
get something for nothing, or
in other words, to beat the other
fellow, that they were caught?
It is generally a case Of confidence
men on both sides of the propo-
sition.

IL seems that some of the new
voters do not quite understand
why a candidate for city Office
may be both Republican and
Democratic nominees. This is
because they were chosen by
both parties at the recent pri-
maries for the office to which
they aspired. Politics, however,
should have little to do with city
government. 1t is the man that
counts every time. whatever his
politics or religion may be.

Sanitary Inspector DR.. T. r. Brown

Blair, made the rounds of the recent
flooded districts Of the city and in.
vestigated, generally. the conditions

er. DR.. Brown. during an interview
following his examination. stated that
the sanitary condition of the city is
excellent considering the amount of
surface water that has lately filed

the lower districts.
He recommends that the people boil
the city water for several days at
least and take every precaution until
the report from the analysis Of the
water now in the hands Of the state
board Of health can be made.
A report from the analysis, DR..
Brown said, will probably not be re-
ceived for several days on account Of
the unprecedented number of sam.
pies that are now on hands for analy-
sis. The board is laden with work
far above its capacity, but will work
swiftly and steadily to get out ac.

OF anyone.
Personally, Mr.. Blinn stated thai
he was not In favor Of disposal plant
and said that, II he could have his
way, the sewage would be carried ia
the creek In pipes and would be al
lowed to escape into the water. The
state board Of health admitted, he
said, that Mt. Vernon It not badly In
need Of q plant Of this kind but that
one must be built here to set an ex'
ample for other towns and cities who
do need other means OF disposing OF
their sewage. A sewage lift would be
necessary in order that 1t might be
carried to the plant. This lift would
have to be SO constructed as to ef.
feet lift of 80 feet He said that the
first estimate of the cost of establish.
ing sewer system in Mt. Vernon
would place the figures at $4,000 and
that an additional $4,000 would be
necessary to erect and establish the
plant.
Mr.. Lot C. Stillwell explained the
intricacies of the statutes governing
the legislation necessary to secure the
money for such an improvement. He
said that the plant, no difference at
what cost It was procured or how
great was the difflculty in procuring
1t, must be subject to the approval Of
the state board Of health.

the committee has been divided into

said, however, that the task cut out
for them was too big to allow them

government of other cities and, II
possible, secure some good points that
can be put to good use In the future
government of Mt. Vernon. The CON-

existing In other cities where char
ters are about to be voted upon and
they will also investigate ways and
means whereby the present form Of
government may be simplified and
concentrated and whereby saving Of
public money may be effected. Mr..
