SPRING WATER
CO.'S ASK AID
Continued from first page.l

llsh the water meter system came from
several quarters when the clerk read a
resolution forwarded by the water COM
mittee, in which the meters were advo-
Gated and the committee empowered to
/ install them, first in the manufacturing
and business places, and later in the
| dwellings, as fast as conditions would
permit Before the discussion had got
| ten we'll under way, Alderman Brown
moved its adoption, and after a number
| of people had aired their views, Alder
man Patterson asked for a yea and nay
vote. The resolution followed a recent
informal session of the council in which
the situation was thoroughly considered
| from every angle and the decision was
reached that prompt steps should be
taken to conserve the present supply.
| Last night Alderman Dawson took the
stand that the council would do better
to expend $4,000. the sum estimated to
establish the meter system, in building
new reservoir. He had seen a man
who said that large area in Orange
could be flooded at a minimum cost.
| Alderman Dawson was supported in his
contention by William Scott of the firm
| of Scott Bros. who told of his tour of
inspection of the water sources on the
previous night. He was surprised to
find such small supply at the Martin
brook. And he was quite astonished to
see the newly constructed dam at the
Orange reservoir. He didn't believe that
the upper reservoir alone would give the
city a days supply of water. He could
almost jump across the pool, he said,
and yet the city had paid $1,000 for
the construction of dam. Mr.. Scott
also spoke of an area some two miles up
the stream that might be converted to
reservoir purposes.
Alderman Patterson explained that
the new dam was created for sanitary
purposes, in that it had the effect OF
cleansing the water. Alderman Brown
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1913-08-20

held to the contention that the city
might build ever so many reservoirs and
still be short if it did not take steps
to conserve the supply already in hand.
He favored the meters. Alderman Daw-
son laid the shortage up to the waste
of water in stonesheds and with Alder
man Brown he deplored the waste among
householders and people who support
garden lawn hose. Mr. Scott thought
the question should be submitted to the
people.
At IL o'clock the council reconvened
to adjourn in the early morning watches
around | o'clock. The proposal to me-
ter was again considered, but the argu-
ments, pro and con. differed little from
those of the first session, and shortly be-
fore midnight Alderman Dawson moved
that the resolution be laid on the table.
His motion was carried with one oppos-
ing vote.
Camp Street Improvements.
1t was well into the morning when
the clerk read petition from property
owners along Camp street, asking that
a sidewalk be constructed along the
easterly side of the highway. Among
others, the petition was signed by John
Reynolds, S. Hollister Jackson, j. p.
Corskie, James +. Higgins, Miss Alice
". Beckley, f. A. Walker and Mrs.
Shackley. 1t was not the first time
the council had been asked to consider
on Camp street and when
someone suggested that it be referred
to the committee of the whole.
Chairman Patterson of the street
raised an objection. He
thought the council was familiar with
the situation without conducting anoth-
er investigation. Alderman Brown
moved that the request be granted, but
his motion went unseconded. Alderman
keefe's motion to table the petition was
seconded by Alderman Keefe, but the
motion was not put After spell, AL
derman Dawson started to voice his
views on the matter. He held that

republic endures. Mexico, in spite o.
its fierce internal dissensions, has Z
national feeling so strong that the
whole people would unite against in
PREVENTION or invasion.
The clash of nations and races has
been intensified in the Balkans to an
extent scarcely paralleled in previous
history. Little governments create
by diplomatic compromises are in deo-
perate fighting humor, all of the same
mind as against the Turks, and yet
eager to rend each other when the
common enemy is disabled. Allies Of
to-day are adversaries tomorrow, and
the shifting combinations of Bulgars,
Serbs and Greeks are bewildering as
philosophical study in the march Of
mankind
The slavs, numbered by tens C.
millions have no nation of their own
that they accept as sufficiently distinu-
tive Some of the races consider them
selves submerged and are fighting to
gain what they hold to be their right
full place. Most of them are oppres-
sive toward the Jews, who alone seem
to be satisfied without arming for ma
tionality. The Eastern question is an
amazing problem and never more per-
picking than now.

CLEANEST TOWN IN THE WORLD
(From Garden and Farm News.)

(From Garden and Farm News.)
The cleanest town in the world is
said to be Brock, Holland. 1t is only
few miles from the capital and has
been famous for it's cleanliness from
time immemorial 1t is also notable
on account of the fanciful style of its
houses and yards and gardens and
streets. The people, though on!F
peasants, are well-to- do, and all feel .
pride in their town. 1t seems to be
their first business to keep their gar
dens in perfect order and their yards
and streets as clean as a parlor. No
carts are allowed in the streets and
no cattle, though the raising of stock
and the making of butter and cheese
are their occupations.

Moreover, the Secretary of State IS
not the Cabinet officer to whom the
financial interests of the country are
intrusted.
However, the bill is not Mr.. Bryan
bill. 1t is practically the bill of the
monetary commission, with. no real
changes in principle except the desir-
able change of making the central re,
serve association or Federal reserve
board a government body instead of a
body of private bankers. The other
differences between the monetary bill
and the present bill are largely those
of phraseology.

FUTILITY OF THE CAUCUS
(New York World.)

If the Democrats of the United
States Senate are not bound by plat
forms and pledges, no action by eau
Gus can commit them.
For almost a generation they have
been promising to take the greed and
graft out of the tariff On that issue
they have carried three President; II
elections, elected a majority of the
House Of representatives seven times
and a majority OF the Senate twice.
1t has never been supposed that any
tax bill that could be drawn would BE-
precisely to the taste of everybody. No
well-informed person can have mag
ined that the party's will could by any
possibility be made effective without
arousing local alarms and protests on
the part of the interests affected.
Experience has shown that the peo-
pies burdens cannot be lightened I'M
less Democrats cooperate Loyalty. /;
was by coalition on the part of SELL
seekers, by log-rolling trading and
dickering of every description that
these unmerciful exactions were male
in the first place If those who have
been commissioned to put an end to
them cannot work in harmony, hope G.
reform may as we'll be abandoned
! Most Democratic Senators do not
need caucus support. Some honest
men among them resent it. Those
whose faithfulness it is thought may
be strengthened by it are not to De
depended upon. Men who will not obey
the people will not heed caucus. Men
whose word is not good at home are
not likely to keep faith in Washing
ton. The right course has therefore
been taken. A binding resolution gives
way to one which presses upon all
democratic senators the duty of giving
undivided support to the bill
The less we hear about the caucus
and the more that is said about per-
sonal and party honor the better it
will be for all concerned.

STRUGGLING FOR NATIONALITY

One of the most marked features Of
the governments of the world during
the last century was the general as
piration toward an ampler and more
secure national life. Germany AMI
Italy are the most notable recent ex-
amples, but there are many others.
This movement is partly along race
lines, but the ambition is strong where
these limitations are not distinct. The
tendency is persistent, as in Ireland
and Poland. Hungary enforced its
demands, but there are several races
there, with the Magyars dominan-.
Austria is a polyglot empire, yet It's
ancient nationality is strongly assert
ed. Norway and Sweden divided OIL
nationality rather than race. The
English speaking colonies of Great
Britain have almost expanded into
nations, with a consolidation of inter
ests among themselves. China and it's

We need to live-for life is more
Than eating, drinking, wearing,
Than seeking pleasure door to door
And hither, thither, faring
By artificial dress and speech
We teach the world to doubt us,
And cry for riches out of reach
Mile joy lies all about us.
We need to love-for life is more
Than drinking, wearing, eating,
The outer moral striving for,
The inner mortal cheating.
The tinsel things of life we clutch
While skies are blue above us,
While here beside us at our touch
Are those who long to love us.
We need to learn-life is more
Than wearing, eating, drinking
A little less of later lore
And more of early thinking.
We need to live and love and learn
The simple things to cheer us,
To truth established to return,
And learn the lesson near us.
