Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1914-09-24

Two meetings were held by the
city council this week Monday and
Tuesday evenings.
On Monady evening considerable
time was spent carefully going over
the protests to The sidewalk improve
|ment district assessment roll. Where
ever the protests were justifiable as
in several instances two much front
age had been charged, corrections
were made and affairs remedied.
Permission was granted the mem
bers of the Christian Church to move
their old building into the street if
they so desired for the purpose of
erecting a new building.
Secretary E. c. S. Brainard OF
the Commercial Club was before the
council asking permission for the
Club to use the road roller, grader,
and rock crusher on the road leading
from Payette to the new Payet.e
river bridge. After learning the plans
of the Club to make crushed rock
road from Payette to the bridge the
permission to use the machinery was
granted under the usual restrictions.
Tuesday evening the council met
and approved the assessment roll of
the sidewalk and curbing improvem-
ent district and also instructed the
water works committee to proceed at
once with the necessary arrangements
for calling an election to put before
the people of the city proposition
for installing a filtration system
for the city water and also to build
a direct iron pipe line from the pump
ing station to the reservoir
1t is estimated that the filtration
system will cost six thousand doll
ars. Bonds will be necessary and at
the election to be called the PROPOSE
tions will be submitted to the people
separately.
For a number of years the pledge
of every council has been improve
ment of the water system and we
surely need something along this line.
The establishing of modern filtra-
tion system means at least clean wat
er the year round.
The installing of direct pipe line
to the reservoir from the pumping
station means twenty-five percent
reduction in insurance rates and grea
ly facilitates pumping. BY putting
the propositions up to the people
there can be no complaint if the
bonds are not voted and supply of
purer, cleaner water made available.
1t will be up to the people to decide

THE SUBMARINES DAY.

While the naval authorities Of
Great Britain are still arguing over
the question raised by Sir Percy
Scott as to the superior merits OF the
submarine over the battleship, the
United States Navy Department is
giving tacit recognition to the great
potential value of the underwater
craft by making large preparations
for it's possibilities. On the day that
public attention was called to Sir
Percy Scott's verdict against the bat
tleship our Navy Department
launched its first submarine tender
in the Fulton, all the other mother
ships" of the submarine divisions
having been craft drafted into that
service as trial boats. On top of this
comes the announcement of Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary
of the Navy, that hereafter the
Portsmouth Navy Yard is to be de-
voted exclusively to the building Of
small craft for the service, including
submarines.
The battle over submarine VS.. bat
tleship goes its way in Great Brit
ain, the latest development being
the question of the psychological ef-
feet on the commander and crew OF
the big ship of the known or sus-
pected presence of the little craft
below the surface of the sea. One
naval authority has declared that the
captains of battleships are so fear
full of sinking a submarine and
drowning its crew during maneuvers
that the latter craft has an advan-
tage in practice which it would not
have in actual warfare. On the other
hand, it is affirmed by another emil
nent authority that the fear of the
unseen enemy's likelihood of sending
battleship and crew to instant death
has depressing effect on the morale
of the battleship's crew; and this he
considers almost fatal from the view
point of fighting efficiency.
Meanwhile Uncle Sam is making
| every possible preparation for the
day of the supremacy of the sub
marine-if it should come.

EDWIN Y. WEBB.

With the appointment of Edwin
Yates Webb as chairman of the Ju-
dietary Committee, the seat at the
head of the great law bench of the
House will be occupied by the young
est man that has ever occupied that
post. Mr.. Webb is only forty-two
years old, and he has been in Con-
press since he was thirty-one.
He takes the place once held by
Jenkins of Wisconsin, a Republican
standpatter of the worst type; later
held by Clayton of Alabama, Dem
ocratic standpatter of corresponding
quality.
Webb is a real liberal among DEM
ocrats. Born decade after the civil
war started, he lives in the present,
not past era. He is one of the kind
of Democrats whose leadership is
more and more needed by their party.
1t is gratifying to see recognition
given to men of the Webb type. no
matter to what party they belong.

MR.. INGALLS, AN
NOUNCEMENT.

The Hon. Samuel W. Mccall,
hose assumptions of erudition have
tven reasonableness to error, plausl-
Llity to falsehood, and eminent re-
pectability to purblind toryism for
pine decades, is announced as can
idate for the Republican nomination
or governor of Massachusetts,.
Mr.. Mccall having always been a
t. andpatter of rarest ray, is OF
purse predicating his campaign OF
he failures of the Underwood tariff
neasure to meet promises and ex-
bectations. To that extent he has,
or Massachusetts consumption, an
attractive argument.
But he would sound better to folks
general if, in his utterances to the
public, he would suppress the note
IF regret at the fact that the coun-
~ got a big crop this year. That
a fly in Mr.. McCall's ointment as
big as a dromedary. If only the crop
kould have failed, as it in decency
should have done on the heels of a
|tariff revision, there would be no
difficulty in bringing the McCalls,
|Aldriches, Hales, and all the rest of
the Old Guard back into power.
Mr.. Mccall is exactly the sort of
Republican that the Republican party

rs BERLIN WEARY OF ITS
NIGHT LIFE?

Berlin's might life" which in the
last few years has made the German
capital a principal rival Of Paris in
the affections of American tourists,
is threatened with extinction. The
Prussian ministry of the interior,
which controls the police laws, has
under serious consideration regula-
tions that will "shut up the town" at
II p. m.
Naturally, there is much indigna-
ton. Proprietors of restaurants and
hotels, of beer gardens, of all the
hundred and one places of amuse-
ment that have made the Berlin
night free, joyous, and unconven-
tional-decidedly unconventional, if
reports speak truth-have Joined in
one mad roar of protest. The regu-
lations, they declare. would spell
their ruin, and, they add, the ruin OF
Berlin as q tourist center.
Well, there may be an explanation
for all this passion for reform, in
addition to the Puritanic leanings Of
the Kaiserin, who is said to cherish
the opinion that her husbands cap
ital, already we'll on the road to NOR
al decay, is "the blacklist spot in Eu-
rope" May it not be that it reflects
considerable public sentiment-that
the canny Teuton himself, who loves
his ease and rest and his stein OF
lager, grows weary of the perpetual
and hysterical search for pleasure
and amusement that the Berlin night
life represents?
Perhaps they tire. They have not
had time to learn the Parisian's
method of meeting a similar situ-
alton, which is to pursue his own
Quiet life and permit the outlanders
from Chicago, Buenos Ayres, and St
Petersburg to amuse themselves to
death in the places and by the meth
DDS especially provided for that pur-
pose. The Berliner has fancied that
he must be quite as gay as the
stranger within his gates, to the seri,
Gus disturbance of lifetime habits
and racial traits and his own great
discomfort. If he would follow the
Partisan example, he would be much
happier and the city's profit would
go on just the same.

strange garb we see about our own
streets described as French. But that
fact never was brought home to me
so forcefully as during the past few
summers that / have spent in Paris.
The, fashionable French women do
not have the walkink habit as do we
Americans. So the casual traveller,
who did not happen to be entertained
at places where these women are
present. might never suspect that he
has missed the truly elite of Paris.
But when one does see the cultured
French women, she realizes how far
astray our women go in thinking
