THE SEWER RUNS.

The Cavalier Chronicle, probably with
the assistance of the city fire depart
ment, got Flushed" again last week. Its
theme was that the Pink Paper and the
Pioneer Express are together discussing
the Cavalier sewer just to irritate the
Chronicle and to ''throw discredit on
Cavalier"
1t says "that (through the Chronicle)
the sewer has been thoroughly and intel
igently discussed and therefore there
seems to be nothing more to say that
can give further enlightenment to the
people" etc.
While it is true that Editor Farchild
has 'cussed the sewer to a considerable
extent, yet considering how much he
said, it is the one remarkable thing
about his discussions that he has said
nothing.
The Chronicle man says he never said
the sewer matter was none of the peo-
ple's business. Yet in the same editor
ial he says in effect it is none of the bus
mess of the Pioneer Express or OF the
Pink Paper. That these two papers are
only meddlers, and inferentlally, their
readers and subscribers are ditto.
The taxpayers of this whole county
have invested some $1,000 in sewer at
Cavalier. Some two thousand people
use the water contaminated by the Ca
valier sewer, and help pay the taxes.
The Pink Paper is published in town
on the banks of the river. The Pioneer
Express clrculates among these people
as we'll, and also among the people all
over the county who pay taxes. The
Chronicle says that the only reason the
Pink Paper has for discussing tho sewer
matter is that of politics, while the only
motive of the Pioneer Express is hatred
for Cavalier.
Even If these latter statements were
true. how does that help the sewer mat
teri Isn't that sewer matter of public

toned be doing their duty it they failed
to let their readers know about the
factsf
Both papers have several times asked
the Chronicle to give explicit answers to
the question Of the ownership OF the
sewer, and what interest the county has
in that same sewer for its $780,?
The Chronicle has never answered,

SOME MORE SUPREME COURT

The supreme court has recently made
two very Important rulings One dc.
ciares the law making all estates pay
five dollars fee when entered for probate
and five m ire per thousand when the
inventory is completed, is uncons .itu
tlonal. AS we understand it the coui
did not rule whether such fees which
have already been paid without protest
shall be refunded or not. But If such de-
clsion should be made it will take about
SlOUOO from the county funds to repay
the heirs to such estates. On just what
grounds the ruling was made we do not
know, but on the face of 1T the estates in
probate ought to pay at least sufficient
fees to cover costs to the county, as the
business thus transacted is of particular
moment to the heirs of such estates,
rather than to the public at large.
The other decision was to declare the
law making the state bonding, in
surance company, unconstitutional. A
couple of years ago, it was discovered by
county, city and township boards that 1T
made no difference to what company
they applied for official bonds, that the
prices were always identical-and secm-
ell rather high.
The Legislature then passed law en-
powerng the state insurance commits
sioner to bond state, county and civic
officials at reasonable fees, which has
been done since the law took effect
This law was evidently rather more
paternal than most laws and made the
state go into what had previously been
private business and of course practical
ly knocked out the private concerns, and
we can see that many technical objec-
tions could be brought against the state
thus interfering with private business
Notwithstanding the fact that the bond
ing companies had evidently gone into
the trust business, and deserved the law.
Perhaps, however the attorney general
may be able to get his revenge by catch
ing the companies under the antitrust
laws.
But if the state can't go into the In.
surance bonding business how can they
do business as hail insurance COM
pany? And for that matter, how about
running twine' factory? Or any other
socialistic endeavors?
AS we said several times before, things
like theseare too hard for the layman to
understand. Nobody but supreme court
judges can find these things out.
Later.-Wednesday morning papers
announce that the supreme court took
another try in rehearing, and decided
that the preliminary fee of five dollsrs is
all right, but the five dollars per thous-
and afterward is wrong-and there you
are, as Major Edwards used to say.

TRIALS OF A

New York, April 3.-The movie"

of affairs to such an extent that where
you find newspaper men you may also
look around for a "movie" camera op-
orator, n the arrival of the world
here was a busy day. for both. There
were a dozen moving picture cameras
grinding away in n place or the 9TH

and locked, and the movie" men pro-
duced a little story all their own.
Coming somewhat late. but still an
untold tale, here it is:
One Of the moving picture compa-
MES had a special boat to carry it's
camera men down the bay to the
quarantine to meet the Lusitania and
the tourists. Arrangements had been
made for them to board the liner, and,
with the, company flag flying from the
special boat, the movie" men prepar-
ed to sail forth. A rival picture con
Germ sent it's camera man down to the
pier with instructions to get on "a
boat and meet the Lusitania. He was
unable to get on the revenue cutter,
and had about given up hope Of ever
getting to quarantine, when he had a
happy thought. There was the rival
company's boat at anchor; why not
test their hospitality? He did. He ex-

you. Sure, we'll take you down the

The boatless movie man was TAX

when he got back he had not soil
