ter, we thought it best to go down t
the Council in body and, without an!
excitement simply give the Council
the information in regard to the con
dition of the water plant. We stated
what we had found in the water anC

ing into the water, and We made some
verbal recommendations to the council
and Mayor as to what should be done
to protect our water supply.
Now, the Doctor knows the rest oil
the story, as everyone should know
it. Now, Doctor, in all fairness, do you
think that We could have started any
sooner? The Doctor recommended in
this article, or seemed to suggest, at
least, that we should have gone like
| Nicodemus at night and whispered
these things into the ear of the Mayor
and the Water and Light Committee.
so that the public would not know
these facts and thereby condemn our
city.
You say again, Since we have been
using this water, We have had only
one typhoid scare and as l remem-
ber that was not traced to our water
supply" Did you ever hear, or did
anybody else ever hear a single men,
Der of the Board of Health say that he
believed that any of our typhoid fever
was from our water supply, or that
they ever thought it came from that?
| will ask you another question. Did
you ever know or hear of a baby be-
ng born. living through its infancy,
up to its three score and ten and es-
cape without whooping cough all these
years and then have it? Now, all that
the Board of Health is trying to do
is to keep this old body, the Water
Works pond, from having typhoid fe-
yer in its old age. But the logic of
your argument seems to be wait until
the water is polluted with typhoid
germs. then go in the silence of the
night and whisper in the ears of the
Water and Light Committee.
Now, Doctor. if you want to get
posted on this matter of how many
cases of typhoid fever have been in
he town of Columbia since in August,
you just step over to DR.. Dolly's office
in the Medical Building and he can
thoroughly post you on the situation.
He has Il map of the city. He can To-
cate every single case and has the
map marked showing the very spot
where these cases were. He can give
you their names, the doctor that at
tended them. He will tell you whether
they were drinking water from the
city of their own cistern. He will
tell you whether they were drinking
milk from their own COW or from pub f!
lie supply. He will tell you whether
they are using a surface closet or a |
closet or toilet connected with the
public sewer He will tell you many
other things in regard to the sanitary
surrounding these houses. |
To enumerate them would make this |
article too long. DR.. Dolly said to me |

PROFITABLE PUNISHMENT.


Since cOnvicts are to be punished
it is well to make that punishment
profitable to society and to convicts
For centuries punishment was ad
ministered at loss to the state
That was when the theory of pun.
ishment was to avenge society fo1
the wrong committed and to make
examples of wrongdoers.
The modern theory aims at reform
No criminal was ever made better
man by the dungeon. Brooding makes
men dangerous members of society
Modern penal institutions seek to
teach the criminal a profitable trade,
In most penitentiaries the convict
contributes to the support of the in
stitution by some form of profitable
labor.
The movement to employ convicts
in road building is step which will
turn punishment to profit. Judge
Latshaw of Kansas City has demons
trated that macadam roads can be
built considerably cheaper by convicts
than by ordinary labor. Prisoners
can be employed by contractors for
90 cents a day. Unskilled labor costs
from 81 to $3.50 day. Judge Lat
shaw proposes to save the state
thousands of dollars by working state
prisoners on the highways. He sur
prised the County Court of Jackson
County by the excellence of road he
built by convict labor.
The prisoners preferred the outdoor
work to stuffy cells. They were nut
on their honor. and of the forty men
whom Judge Latshaw employed only
two escaped. One of these returned,
Many expressed a desire to live hon
orably. and thus the Judge believes
a reform has been worked in those
men.
County courts may employ prisoners
at the same wage paid by contractors
if shelter and safe keeping are guar
anteed. Assuming that 60 cents a dav
pays the expense of furnishing a man.
there is saving of at least s14O
for every day convict is worked on
the roads. Thus the benefits derived
by society are twofold Good roads
are built, and, if Judge Latshaw's con-
clusions are correct, the convict is
working his own reform.

VIEWPOINTS
AbOut City Water.

Editor of the Misourian: AS /;
citizen of Columbia, please allow mi
space in your columns for a few
words regarding the controversy tina
is taking place between the Mayor
and City Council on one side and The
City Board of Health on the other. Il
conditions existed around the water
and light plant as was reported by
the Board of Health, the board should
have investigated and made its re-
port earlier. Even when these con-
ditions were found, the board should
have taken up the matter with the
mayor and the water and light COM
cleaned up. Instead they went to the
council with reporters at hand to
send broadcast over the state re-
port regarding the condition of our
water supply that would naturally
bring condemnation upon our city.
The health board must have known
for some time that on occasions when
much water was needed that draft
was made on the lake. Since we
have been using this water, we have
had only one typhoid scare and as |
remember that was not traced to our
water supply
| am sorry that our Board OF Health
resigned. AS guardians of the health
of our city, they should have stood
their grounds and kept right after
the City Council until there could have
been no question raised regarding the
healthful condition of our water sup
ply. But since they have resigned |
hope there will be no public meetings
held that will keep up this agitation,
which to say the least will not make
for the neglect of all parties
in the past. 1t seems that
our city has had all the advertising il
needs along these lines.
AS for typhoid among the students.
there are many causes. Students
come here from communities where
typhoid is prevalent, bringing the,
germs in their systems. Changed oc-
confinement in classrooms,
and study bring about lowered vi
tality, giving the germs a chance to
get in their work. No one questions
the fact that many disease germs are
carried in the system for indefinite
periods. For example three years ago

WIFE Of MARTYRED
PRESIDENT IS TAXED

New York, Oct. 21.-A dispatch 20
the Herald says: Among those affect
ed by the new income tax law will be
the widow of the nations martyred
president, James A. Garfield, who was
given pension of $4,000 year by the
government. According to Representa-
tive Cordell Hull, who framed the new
income tax bill, no exception can be
taken by the government in the case
of Mrs Garfield or of any of the men
of the army or navy who have either
been pensioned or retired on part sala-

According to Representative Hull, it
will be the duty of the government to

WANT ADS IN THE
T|MES-REC0RDER
BRING RESULTS

Want ads in The Times Recorder
bring results. The people of Ameri-
Gus and vicinity are learning that the
little classified ads are read by the
people and that they furnish a SPLEEN
did medium of advertising. Every day
from three to dozen people report
that their ad has accomplished its
purpose.
For instance, Mr.. w. S. Roach pur-
chased fine bird dog in Tennessee last
week and on circus day he was stolen.
Mr. Roach inserted an ad in The
Times-Recorder and next morning, in
a few hours after the paper had been
delivered he was called UP and in
formed as to the whereabouts of his
dog.
Mr.. Will Dudley had house that he
wanted to rent. A want ad secured
the renter. Mrs R. B. Goodwin was
anxious to secure a good tenant for her
farm. She put short fifteen-word ad
in The Times-Recorder and yesterday
she reported that she had secured a
tenant and signed fiye-year contract
with him. These three ads were re-
ported among several others yester-
day.
If want ads are getting results for
your neighbors they will get them for
you. If you need anything, have lost
anything or want anything phone 80
and have your want ad inserted. Then
sit back and watch the result.

JUDGE QUASHES CASE
AGAINST PUBLISHER
Declares That Ii Red. Haired Gentle

eryone Who Mailsa Bible Is Also
Guilty.

Augusta, Ga, Oct 21-The trial
here of Thomas E. Watson, charged
with sending obscene matter through
the mails ended abruptly at noon to-
day when Federal Judge Rufus E.
Foster sustained THE motion of the
defense to quash the indictment
against the Georgia editor. Immedi-
ately upon the announcement of the
courts ruling there was demonstra-
ton by the audience, which Judge Fos-
ter permitted to pass unrebuked.
The specific point upon which the
indictment was quashed was empha-
sized by Mr.. Watson himself during
his brief presentation of what re
termed "other phases" of the case
termed "other phases" of the case.
He argued that if the indictment
against him should stand it would be
necessary to hold men guilty who send
through the mails copies of the Bible.

Well Known Druggist Will Oppose the
Present Incumbent.

Elsewhere in The News this morn
ing Will be found the announcement
for alderman from the First ward of
j Sidney Roberts, the well known
Newcastle street druggist. Mr.. Rob
erts has been mentioned as a prob
able candidate for some time, but
Ionly definitely decided yesterday to
get into the race
With the entrance of Mr.. Roberts
into the contest for aldermanic non
ors, it brings forth the first contest
in the primary to be held on Nov

bent, announced Sunday morning tnat
he was candidate for reelection.
They are both well known and pop

orally and have many friends who will
no doubt rally to their support.
From what can be learned at pres
ent, no other announcements from
any of the four wards are forthcom-
ing
