RadFor City Water d case
ofMunicipsl Ownership
NOW UP TO PEOPLE

VIII the people of Glenwood pur
chase the water plant of the Glenwood
Light and Water company and thus
make good on their vote of q few Yeas
ago to the effect that they favor a nlu-
nicipal water plant? If they favor a
municipal water plant it ought to be
plain to all that, in all reason, they
will favor a monopoly on the supply
to the inhabitants of the city. Appar
emily that is the only logical way to
view the matter. Certainly there is
no object in little city the size Of
this entering into competition with
itself.
On the theory that our people favor
a municipal water system and that they
want an exclusive system, thus not
only doing away with the chickering's
and dissensions that have rent our pco-
pie asunder for many years and thus
made imposs BILE much of the develop
ment which the city should have en-
joyed, the city council has for the past
few weeks been trying to bring about
an agreement where the city might
secure = municipal water system by
the taking over of the present plant,
thus doing away with any competition
or distressing litigation which would
Of necessity impede the progress of
the city in many other ways.
With that end in view they have
been in almost constant conference
with the owners Of the present plant
for the past six weeks and, due to some
concessions on both sides, have ar
rived at the following agreement, sub
ject to ratification by the people at
special election soon to be held.
The plan in brief is as follows: The
city to purchase the entire water plart
of the company for $4,000 payable
in city bonds drawing per cent in
terest payable semi-annually. A fur
ther agreement was reached this week
between the company and the city
providing that if the purchase is made
the company shall take water from the
city to supply the swimming pool, the
Hetsl Colorado and for the power
plant, paying . rental therefor Of
$3.50 per annum, the amount supplied
being IL seeoed feet with the further

LIVELY SESSION

Washington, March 3l.-The house
Of representatives tonight, after one
Of the most spectacular legislative
struggles in the history of the natioa,
voted to repeal the provision of the
Panama Canal act exempting American
vessels from the payment of tolls.
The vote on the repeal bill was 247
to l6l, majority of 50 votes in sup
port Of the personal plea of President
Wilson.
This verdict, ON the issue of which
has absorbed congress for weeks, came
at the close of stirring day, made
memorable in the annals of the house
by party division which found
Speaker Champ Clark, Majority Leader
Underwood and other Democratic chief
tains lined up in open opposition to
the president on an issue which the
latter had declared vital to his con.
duet of the nation S foreign policy.
Tomorrow the bill goes to the senate,
where the fight will be renewed with
all the vigor and determination that
attended it in the lower house.
On the final vote 220 Democrats in
the house stood by the president, Civ

His face brown and tanned his ha, has away;
All day the birds have watched him al his play
But the sinks low the western lea
And here upon the gate my baby waits for me!
With joyous and shout, he up the walk
''Oh daddy-horseback ride!" kneel-and prance and

And thus CHARGE, wild, champs proudly up the road
TO where greet the queen-the mother of my load.
And the horsey kneels upon q clover bed
And throws his rider bold, in triumph Ger his head.
The days gone and o'er my heart is laid
The sere of Autumn time! In sorrow where he played,

No charge along the rOad-my boy is dead!

Women Who Are Sea CAPTAINS.

America is the only country where
the full title of captain" has been be-
slowed upon women. This was strik-
ingly illustrated a few years ago by a
decision of the London board of trade,
which refused to grant a yachtmas-
ter's certificate to Lady Ernestine
Brudenell Bruce, well-known yachts
woman of England, who had thorough
ly prepared herself for the examina-
ton N seamanship and navigation.
She appeared before the board of
trade and asked to take the examina-
ton, pointing out that she merely de-
sired authority to command her own
yacht, and had no intention of serving
on board other ships. The board Of
trade, nevertheless, refused to grant
her request, on the ground that 1t
could not permit a woman to be ex-
amined for masters" certificate, as
the word master" clearly implied that
only men were eligible, not taking in
to consideration the broader meaning
of the word.

SOFT BERTH FOR RUSSIAN
His knowledge of Japanese Super.
fetal, But 1t Secured Him
Professorship.

The war in Europe and rumors OF
war nearer home have given occasion
to Japanese papers to publish some
"reminiscences of the war with Russia.
When peace was concluded between
Japan and Russia the study Of the
Japanese language became something
like a craze among Russians. AT Har-
bin, for instance, Japanese were in
great demand as teachers of their
mother tongue. Many Japanese bar
bers and laundrymen shut up their
shops and became instructors of Jap
anese. AS in most cases the instruc-
ton was not conducted on a systemat-
ic method, many Russian students OF
Japanese only succeeded in acquiring
a smattering of the language. Some
time ago a Japanese interpreter who
taught Japanese to Russian railway
men at Hardin, received letter from
one of his whilom pupils asking for a
certificate of his proficiency. AS a
matter of fact, his knowledge of Jap
anese does not extend beyond what
may be called pidgin Japanese, but
certificate was forwarded to him as
required. A few weeks later the in
terpreter was surprised to receive a
letter from the Russian, informing
him that he had been engaged by the
government as professor of Japanese
at monthly salary of 500 roubles.

Moved Pole and Wires.

Moving an electric-light pole, with
it's burden of wires, was the feat &C
complished recently by Cleveland IL
Eliminating company, which is regard
ed as novel from several standpoints.
In adding five feet to the width of St.
Claire avenue 1t was decided to move
the curb on each side of the street
back two and one-half feet, but for
part of the way the difficulty was in
creased by the presence of a pipe just
inside of the curb. This was over
come by the use Of an electric truck
of three and one-half tons capacity
supplied with three-horsepower mo-
tor and winch, which is ordinarily
used for drawing wires through the
conduits. This outfit was backed up
to a distance of two and one-half feet
from the curb and the pole secured
by a chain near the ground. The pole
and it's load of wires then was raised
and the truck backed to the curb and
the pole lowered into its new loca-
ton. This was done in many in
stances without any mishap.

Worth. the pressmaker.

The noted Partisan dressmaker,
Worth, owed his early success to the
patronage of that famous parsonage
of the third empire, Princess Pauline
de Metternich, the wife of the Austri-
an ambassador to France. BY her wit
and numerous vagaries of dress and
manner she created sensation at the
court of Napoleon III and Eugene.
Therefore it was easy for Worth to
become the most sought of the worlds
dresmakers when the princess ap-
proved his styles. Charles Worth,
while so long the creator of French
fashion, was an Englishman, born in
Bourne, England, in 1925, and died in
Paris in 1S95.-Baltimore Star.
