FfIibuster Bids Fair to Win.

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 26.-Prior to
the convening of the Tennessee house
of representatives at 1920 o'clock this
morning, supporters of the liquor law
enforcement bill expressed themselves
as less hopeful of its passage than at
any time since the fight over it be-
came marked by bitterness and
threats of violence between the two
factions in the legislature. Several
supporters of the bill admitted that
the fiIibuster conducted by opponents
of the legislation bade fair to be sue

Washington, Sept 26.-No gambling
of any sort is to be permitted among
government employees and men of the
army and navy under the terms of a
bill introduced today by Representa-

ate dismissal is the penalty. Buying
and selling futures are included among
the forms of prohibited amusement.
The congressman's incentive was the
recent disclosures here of hand book

Location Of Well.

A great many wells are located i'm
mediately by the house, convenient to
the kitchen, and all waste water is
thrown upon the ground near the well
without any thought that it will soon
sink down and be found in the we'll.
With our modern appliances of wind
mills and gasoline engines, there is
little reason why every rural and town
home may not be supplied with mo-
dern conveniences of sanitary plumb
ing and proper house drains, thus do
ing away entirely with outside closets,
cesspools and kitchen waste.
There is a loudly crying need for an
efficient state health department with
ample funds to drive home such plain
and homely facts, again and again, un-
til the most stupid citizen of us all
may see that his own self interest and
self preservation depend upon proper
sanitary surroundings.

Large Springs From Deeper Sources.

Many cities and towns in Iowa have
an ideal water supply from magnifi-.
cent springs Of immense size and COM
ing from subterranean depths which as
sure the purity of their waters. Hum
boldt, Iowa Falls, Cedar Falls former
ly). DEBORAH, and other places are
municipality supplied in this manner.
Water from deep springs is usually
of the same degree of purity as artes-
ian water, and it requires only that
the same precautions be taken in pro-
tecting it as is required in the case Of
artesian water.
Cedar Falls is notable example Of
lack of care in obtaining pure water
from such deep springs, sewage being
permitted to mingle with the water as
it was being conveyed through an old
wooden aqueduct. These splendid
springs have been abandoned and
another supply from the same rock
formation has been substituted for it,
but it seems certain that the rapidly
growing city of Waterloo will soon
avail itself of this immense volume of
pure water and add it to its present
artesian supply.

such vast proportions that it has until

the Oneota limestone, high up on the

found in Iowa.

Local Springs.

Local springs are subject to the same
influence as wells. The water in them
is pure only so long as sewage is kept
away from them, Such springs are
entirely dependent upon the local rain
fall and contamination occurs as readi-
ly in them as in wells.
Springs of this character within the
limits of city are usually SO saturated

The rural water supply of Iowa il
very largely, indeed almost wholly
dependent upon shallow wells either
dug or drilled in the glacial drift, an6
comes almost entirely from the local
rainfall in the immediate vicinity
The water in such we'll rises and fall,
according to the moisture in the ground
and the supply therefore varies from
year to year.
The smaller towns throughout the
state, and many homes in every city
are supplied with water from similar
wells.
All shallow wells-and by shallow
wells is meant those sunk in the drift
or other porous strata to a depth of q
few hundred feet-are easily con
taminated with sewage, and all such
wells in cities and towns are already
so contaminated that almost none OF
them is suitable for use.
1t must be every evident to the most
superficial observer that wells which
are dependent upon the rainfall fol
their supply of water, just as readily,
and even more readily, take in the
fluid portions of the sewage dumped
upon the ground or into cesspools and
outside closets near by. These fluids
mingle with the water in the we'll and
find an outlet through the pump.
1t is widely prevalent popular be.
lief that if the ground slopes from the
well toward the closet there will be nc
danger of seepage into the well. II
must be remembered however, that
the well is deeper than the closet an6
fluids in the latter will radiate widely
from the bottom of the closet as they
sink downward into the ground and
into the well.
In all cities and towns where mu-
nicipal water is provided every private
well should be condemned and closed
Des Moines has set an admirable ex-
ample to the state along this line and
it really begins to look as though "Des
Moines Does Things"
1t is of course presumed that the
municipality will secure the best pos
sible water obtainable.
/ am gratifed to note, in passing
that the little city of Osceola has
showed the commendable enterprise
during the past week to vote, almost
unanimously, to sink a well for an ar
tesian supply for the municipality.
No well should under any circum
stances be within fifty feet, and much
better, within one hundred feet, of any
privy or cesspool. Even then the fiuit
portions of the sewage and night sol
will reach the well. For similar
reasons all barn yard wells are insult
able for a domestic water supply.
The spread of typhoid fever in rural
sections is almost entirely through the
well. The body discharges from a
typhoid patient are thrown into the
closet or cesspool; these discharges con,
tain the typhoid germs, they soon get
into the well and the entire family falls
i'll with the disease. If dairy be To-
Gated upon the farm, and the water be
used to rinse the cans, the infection be-
comes widespread throughout the COM
munity or through the neighboring
town, as recently occurred in the
severe epidemic of typhoid at Okaloosa,
and a few years ago at the State Col
lege at Ames, when many students
lost their lives. AL dejecta from
typhoid patients must first be treated
with strong solutions of bichloride OF
mercury, carbolic acid or other Olsen,
fectants, and then be buried several
hundred feet from the WELL

use. The Haskell spring located in
the children's play ground in Fort
Dodge is well known example of this
class.

The Chautaqua Making Good

If there was any doubt that the Chau-
tauqua would be a thorough success
it has disappeared. The people of the
city seem to be realizing that they have
an unusual opportunity for high class
intellectual entertainment and evil
IDENTIFY are taking advantage of it. The
Chautauqua is a good thing, there is
no question about that. and the city
ought to be better and happier for it's
coming.
There are a great many reasons why
everyone should attend as many of the
entertainments as he can. 1t isn't neces-
sary to say what those reasons are, in
detail. But if tits remembered that the
bigger the crowds the larger viii be the

But the Chautauqua is not a plan to
get money for a good cause without
giving full value in return. If there
have been any disappointed persons at
any of the entertainments, they have
concealed their disappointment under

Socialism Under the Tent

Savannah Press.
Saturday night was good time for
4 joint debate in Savannah The big
tChautauqua tent was packed from flap
to fly, and there was generous ap-
plause for both sides. When the dis
putants appeared upon the platform
and took seats on the opposite sides of
the trim little card table they glared at
each other a moment and then shook
hands cordially. A strange feature was
that neither man looked at the aud
ience, but each seemed to be sizing up
the other.
Many people wanted to know whether
this dicussion was a cut and dried af-
fair or whether it was really going to
be a debate Before the night was over
they were pretty well convinced that
the men were in earnest.
Once when Adam Bede playfuily
twitted his adversary with the taunt
that he could not be converted before
September, when the Chautauqua sea-
son was over and up to which time ha
was under contract to preach Social
ism" Mr.. Seidel arose and gave the
only interruption of the evening. Point
ing his long Wisconsin finger at his
adversary, he exclaimed:
"Mr. Bede, you know that isn't true. +"
The old man regarded it as "a lick be-
low the belt, and he called his accuser
down.
But Bede was good humored and ex-
planned: "Oh, well. Mr. Seidel and l are
both under contract to hold up our
ends until September" Mr. Seidel
smiled and sat down.

For Socialism IS one of the live wires
of the day. No one is willing to accept
all that the Socialist claims, or to be-
lieNve all that some of them say they
believe. And yet when the state began
to educate children the first step in
Socialism was taken. When the gov
ernment began to carry letters or to
clean out rivers or put up the parcel
post another step was taken. Now we
hear that the state furnishes children
with school books carries them to the
school room in big trucks, and furnishes
them with lunches every day. When
the city commenced to control the water
plants for the sake of the people

cities built their electric plants and be-
