STORM DAMAGES WIRES

The electric light and telephone
companies are experiencing the annoy
ance and trouble that inevitably comes
in case of severe storms. The pres
ent stormy season is OF such an CA
traordinary character that it is not
surprising to, hear that electric light
poles and telephone poles are broken
and the, wires disconnected. No one
is SO capable of judging Of the annoy;
ance and expense caused by storms
to plants like these as one who has
gone through the experience OF try
ing to maintain such plants.
We feel like expressing our solici-
tude in behalf of those who assume
the responsibility OF managing these
plants during season of storm such
as we are passing through. 1t not
only adds to the annoyance but the
expense and cuts down the profits of
utilities OF this character We mag
inc the former owners of the electric
light plant are congratulating them
selves that they are out of the trouble
but do not mention the fact with
spirit of hostility toward the present
because we realize that
it is at best a disagreeable experience.

sTlRS. UP HORNETS NEST.

Governor Clarke seems to have
stirred up a hornets nest by the ref
erence made in his inaugural address
to extravaganza practiced on the part
OF the legislature in the employment
OF clerk hire, etc.
Certain members OF the senate have
expressed their disapprovdl with what
he said and an investigation has been
called for and the governor invited to
specify wherein he discovered the
species of graft which he mentioned
in his inaugural. He has responded
to the call and we apprehend some
members of the legislature will discov-
er that too much light on the stu
alton is not what is desired. We have
read the testimony or statement of
the governor and think lie was justi.
fed in complaining in his inaugural
address OF the unnecessary expense
to the state in the help employed by
members OF the legislature. We be-
lieve it is right for representatives
and senators to have such help as will
enable them to discharge their duties
but when it comes to providing posi-
tons for clerks who draw their salar-
les without performing reasonable
service it is time the practice should
slip. We are sure the governor had
but the best motive in the
world in complaining of the expense
and we hope that ntohing but good to
the state will result from it.

Hole in Strong Box Grows Bigger.
Washington, Jan. 29-Leaders o

Washington, Jan. 29-Leaders of
the administration in conference to.
day with President Wilson decided
that there was no immediate need for
legislative action to increase the gov
ernment's revenues. Secretary Nc
Adoo of the treasury announced to-
night it had been agreed that at, the
end of the fiscal year the government
would better know the effects of the
European war and What, if anything,
is necessary to be done.
Mr.. McAdoo declared that he still
stood by his estimate of the govern
ment's revenue for the fiscal year end
ing next June, which, compared with
his estimate of expenditures, would
leave deficit of $10,000,0O0.
1t was understood after the confer
ence that suggestions that the war
revenue act be extended for six months
and that congress abandon the $34,
900 900 river and harbor BILL struck
no responsive chord.
Can't Cut Any More.
On the other hand the cabinet Of
ficers were said to have made it plain
that in accordance with the presidents
suggestion they had cut their esti-
mates of expenditures to the very lin
it's and could not make further reduc-
lions without risking impairing the
efficiency of their departments.
+ The estimates sent to congress in
December aggregated $4,000, 900, to
which $2S,000,000 was to be added for
Panama canal disbursements. Some
additional estimates have been sent
in since then, however, and substantial
additions to the proposed appropria-
lions have been made by the house
committee in drafting the supply bills.
Secretary McAdoo's estimate of rev
enue, exclusive of the post office de-
partment, was $72S,000,000. This in
cludes $3.50, 900 from customs, $305,
100000 from ordinary internal rev.
enhe $54,OO0,0OO from the emergency
war tax and $S0,00O000 from the in
come and corporation tax.
Balance Dropping.
The net balance tonight in the
treasury was about $56,O00,OO0. 1t is
slowly dropping.
Internal revenue receipts for No
vember compiled today by the bureau
show falling off compared with No
vember, 1913, of about $2,3O0,0OO. The
five months ending November S0th,
compared with the same period 1913
shows an increase Of about $4.500.000.
Only Part OF the war tax law was eff
fective in November, 1914, but the
revenue front it amounted to ST.

CONFIDENTIAL NEWS TELLING

Newspaper men will be disappointed
to hear that the test case recently car
ried up from New York has been dis
posed of by the United States supreme
court without unfolding the right OF
The reporter to refuse to diyulge in
court information received under the
seal OF confidence. The disappointment
viii be relieved somewhat by the fact
that the defendants in the test case
are absolved on another ground for
their refusal to disclose professional
Secrets
The New York case developed
around story printed by the Tribune
while grand jury investigation of
some customs frauds was going on.
The Tribune story was true and the
authorities undertook to ascertain how
the newspaper got hold of the facts.
The newspaper men who handled the
story were subpeonaed and asked to
testify as to the source of their infor-
nation They refused on the ground
that the information was given them
in confidence, under pledge that
they would not disclose the identi-
ty of their informants. When
the court refused to accept this plea
of professional confidence the news
paper men fell back on their second
line OF defense. They refused to an
swer on the ground that their testi-
mony might incriminate themselves.
When assured that pardons had been
prepared for them, to become immed-
lately effective, they refused to accept
them and were sentenced to Jail for
contempt OF court.
In reversing the lower court the su-
preme court ignored the point con-
corning the right of a. reporter to re-
fuse to divulge confidential communi-
cations. 1t held that the newspaper
men had the right to refuse to testify
on the ground that the testimony
might incriminate them That a par
don had been proffered to them was
held not to affect this right so long
as the pardon was not accepted.
The supreme court ruling releases
the Tribune men from the penalty for
their refusal to testify, but it does not
confirm the right OF newspaper man
to receive confidential communications
on parity with other professional
men. TO this extent it is disappoint-
ment to newspaper workers, who gen.
orally believe that the public interest
in newspaper truth telling would be
conserved under the proposed prin-
ciple-SiouX City Journal.

HOW FRENCH PEOPLE
CURE STOMACH TROUBLE

A household remedy of the French
peasantry, consisting OF pure vegetable
oil, and said to possess wonderful
merit in the treatment of stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles, has been
introduced in this country by George
H. Mayr, who for twenty years has
been one OF the leading downtown
druggists OF Chicago and who HIM
self was cured by its use. So quick
and effective is its action that single
dose is usually enough to bring pro-
nounced relief in the most stubborn
cases. and many people who have
tried it declare they never. heard OF
anything to produce such remarkable
results in so short a time. 1t is known
as MasN's Wonderful Remedy and can
now be had at all leading drug stores.
1t is sold with the positive under
standing that your money will be re-
funded without question or bubble if
ONE bottle fails to give you absolute
satisfaction.

SHOULD HAVE PvRER WATER.

we understand That nothing definite
has been done by the city looking to
the Improvement OF the quality of the
city water furnished here. 1t is said
that representatives OF the city are in
correspondence with engineers with
reference to digging more wells or
adopting some method to insure not
only an increase in the quantity of
water, but an improvement in the
quality as well.
1t is fact to be deplored that Den
ison is poorly supplied with water and
not enough to insure protection
against fires and still more in danger
on account of the quality of the water
which is furnished. There has been
some sickness OF late attributable to
the quality OF the water which we are
drinking. Whether this claim is we'll
founded or not we do not know, but a
rumor prevails that diseases which
are found are traceable to impurities
in the water.
While this condition exists it is no
time to delay or trifie with the ques-
ton. There should be the greatest
activity on the part Of those respon-
sible for furnishing the water to our
citizens and if they do not promptly
deal with the question then the citi-
zens themselves should take, up the
matter to Immediately adopt some
course to improve conditions We are
in favor of meeting of the citizens
being called to Immediately deal with
this important question because hui
man life is of too much significance
to be trifled with.
1t appears the city wells. are To-
Gated where surface water accumulates
at certain seasons OF the year and
remains on the ground in the nature
OF pond in close proximity to the
wells. II this is so it is absolute neg
ligence because the water necessarily
will perculate through the soil and
reach the wells. Fifty or seventy five
dollars expended in proper bitches
would drain the locality and carry the
water off and we do not understand
why methods have not been adopted
to prevent water standing in the local
ity of the wells. We do not believe
that the wells that we now have, where
surface water can find its way into
them, will ever answer the needs OF
the city What Denison should have if
it. depends upon wells to supply wa
ter to the city is to have them sunk
to a depth where we will not have TO
depend upon surface water to supply
the needs of the city. Ii we have mon
ey to buy electric light plants We
ought to be able to raise money to
provide ourselves with good, safe
drinking water and it ia certainly
gross negligence to postpone this i'm
portant matter any longer. II the in
debtedness of the city is such that it
cannot provide money for this purpose
then the citizens should come to the
rescue and subscribe money enough
to insure Il test being made by dig
ging at least one deep well here to
see il better water cannot b obtained.
We believe that with a thousand or
fifteen hundred dollars deep well
could be sunk in Denison which would
insure permanent water and of a
healthful quality.

The High Cost of Distribution No. :.

A farmer living in the outskirts OF
q large town tried to market some po-
tatoes at the grocery stores in this
place. He was unable to dispose OF
them. Finally he sent them to a
commission merchant a hundred miles
away Coming into the nearby town
a.few days later, he found that some
of the grocers were selling his pota-
toes. They had paid freight over 200
miles of distance and at least one
middleman's profit, plue several cart
ing charges.
Another farmer living near med
ium sized city went lin one day and
tried to market Il supply of apples.
He spent the forenoon going the
rounds OF the grocery stores. None
of them would look at his product or.
any part of it. At noon he sold the
wagonload to a wholesaler.
He remained around the town until
night. Just before leaving he had the
of seeing barrel Of his
apples being opened in front of gro
Gerry store that had refused to buy
them direct from him. The grocer
had PAID one carriage ana mluQle-
mans profit, all of which was cheer
fully charged up to the consumer.
Whoever stops to ask whether all this
is necessary?
Gov. Glynn, of New York, in re-
cent address before a convention OF
cooperative societies, remarked that
the farmer gets only IS cents on ev
cry dollar that the Consumer pays for
his product. Several farmers present
said the governor had put the farmers
share too high. Who gets the rest?
At this meeting one farmer told of
making a personal investigation in
New York city, to see what the con-
sumer was paying for his food prod
ucts. He went in at one time when
potatoes were very scarce and the
farmer was getting $1.35 a bushel.
The consumer was paying $1.50 to
$500. He looked the matter up sec
ond time when potatoes were very.
plenty, and the farmer was getting
only Is cents bushel. He was not
able to find that the consumer was
paying appreciably less.
No wonder the middlemen become
