ABSENCE OF.FATHER.

A smile fitted over the features of
Congressman jeremiah Donovan of
Connecticut when his eyes rested on
the motto: IF smoking inertferes
with business, quit business" He
said it reminded him of Jones.
At o'clock tea one afternoon the
women guests were lauding the glor-
les of their respective husbands when
IL came Mrs. Jones turn to do the
eulogistic.
II must say" contributed the proud
wife just little eagerly, that Harry
is one of the best husbands on earth
He doesn't drink, smoke nor chew
and goes to church very regularly, or
that is. he used to-
He used to-" quickly interrupted
one of the fair listeners Doesn't he
go to church now?"
NO" was the frank rejoinjer OF
Mrs. Jones. "He learned to play golf
and says that churchgoing interferes
with the game. e.''-Philadelphia Tele-
graph.

There should be and doubtless will
be general approval of the 5000
additional bond issue
The additional for the water system
Water Bonds. upon which the peo-
pie will be asked to
vote some time in April. There is
general agreement on the fact the
money is needed. The additional
money is required because of the
change from a wooden to a concrete
pipe line and because of the new mains
that had to be laid here as a conse-
quence of the street paving. The only
point that has ever been in doubt was
as to whether the board could secure
the extra money on its own initiative
or would have to ask the people to
vote additional bonds. 1t was finally
| decided that in view of the contro-
versy regarding the project it would
be safer TO call the election.
The voting of the additional money
for the water system will mean the
prompt completion of the gravity
system this spring, June l being the
time called for by the contract.
Should the needed money not be pro-
Vided the use of the new water sys-
tenn will of course be indefinitely
postponed with much injury to the
city.

COAL BY WATERpOWER.

Operating coal mine with electric
power developed by a mountain
stream miles away would seem to the
average layman like the old game of
carrying Goals to Newcastle. If there
is anywhere that coal should be
cheap and economical, it should be at
the mouth of the mine: therefore. to
turn about and use current which is
carried over expensive transmission
installation and system of dams and
generators at a great distance would
seem, on first thought. as out of the
question. But down in the heart of
the Appalachians near Bluefield, West
Virginia, the mine owners are buying
power to run their hoists and drills
from a hydroelectric central power
station, says March Technical World
Magazine.
Some four years ago a company of
men conceived the idea of building a
power station near the great Poca-
hontas fields in the southwest Virgin
las for the purpose of serving the
mines in that locality. 1t was almost
necessary to the financial success of
the scheme to include most OF the
mines eventually, meanwhile supplying
the requirements of nearby towns and
the other mining industries of that
region. The iron and zinc mining and
smelling and many other industries
could be counted upon as consumers.
but these markets were as compare
lively small compared with that
which would be offered by the mine
operators.

He had a faraway look. 1t was
evident that he was the proprietor of
an assortment of large. dapple-gray
thoughts.

Prior to the cleansing of Copperfield
ernor West had
What a Little worked for weeks
Firmness Can Do. with the civil of
ficials of Baker
county to ge them to enfore the laws
and provide peace and order in the lit
tie town. Those officials replied with
evasive arguments and insults and the
militia scrub brush was the only
course left open to the governor.
In Union county the situation is
proving somewhat different and there
are indications the officials in Union
county are willing to profit by the ex-
perience of the Baker officials. The
governors agent, Miss Hobbs. found
upon investigation that the town Of
Cove voted dry yet regularly licens-
ed saloon is still in operation there
because the county court has not de-
clared the result of the election. This
fact being called to the notice of the
county judge by the governor the for
mer official has agreed to declare Cove
dry in accordance with the vote of the
people In other words the civil au-
thorities of Union county seem willing
TO do their duty without evasion or
subterfuge. II they continue in that
attitude there will be no occasion for
the use of the big stick in Union.
ty bears out the prediction made some
time ago by the East Oregonian that
the governors vigorous policy at Cop
perfield would have a wholesome ef-
feet on the civil authorities elsewhere.
The results also show the value to this
state Of a governor who stands for ef-
fective law enforcement and is will

man with the same convictions as he

Credit Where Credit is Due.

The Lambertville Heat, Light
and Power Company is entitled to
credit for the manner in which it
handled the storm situation on Mon
day. So many of the wires were
down Sunday night that it was i'm
possible to keep the current on,
and no sane man would have eX-
pected repairs to be made in the
darkness.
At very early hour Monday
morning, as soon it was light enough
to see, force of men were put to
work cleaning away the broken
wires and making such repairs as
would enable service to be. resumed
at the earliest possible moment.
Between four and five o'clock
Monday afternoon service was re-
stored Throughout a greater part of
the city, and by Tuesday night was
practically all in service.
Considering the local conditions
this was really a remarkable per-
Torrance, and General Manager F.
Stanley North is entitled to much
credit for the promptness with
which he and his able assistants be-
gan the work of regeneration.
We are all so prone to criticize
public utility corporations, that
when one goes out of it's way to &C
commodate the public it is but
fair to reverse the procedure, and
give credit where credit is due.

Curfew a City Law.

The curfew measure is now city
law, having been passed over Mayor
Morse's veto at Monday nights
session of the Lambertville city
council, and being finished, so far
as discussion goes, there's nothing
particular that we are going to dis
cuss.
Just why the mayor vetoed the
measure is best explained by his
own statement of the matter, and
the reason for the council passing
it over his head is best explained by
the fact that the members voted
exactly as they did in the first
place.
1t would have been matter rather
for regret if any of the members
had changed their vote, as we be-
lieve both the supporters and
the opposers acted as they thought
to be for the best.
