MERELY COMMENT

It's bad enough to kick a man
when he's down.
But it's even worse than that to
lump on a man and stir up public
prejudice against him when he is
about to go on trial on a criminal
charge.
The fight on Lorimer in this CAM
paign is cowardly for that reason.
Lorimer is down politically and
financially, and some of his old polit-
ical pals are taking a kick at him.
Roger Sullivan ought to stop it for
decency's sake, even if not for the
sake of his old-time friendship.
Lorimer is human. So are the
members of his family. He is about
to go on trial for his liberty. Isn't
that trouble enough for one family?
Kick Thompson all you please.
He's big, has money and can stand it
But give Loriner a show for his
white alley.
Nobody ever became a hero kick
ing a man when he was down.
But politics is a rotten game with
the professionals. Winners get the
bouquets, but when their usefulness
is ended they get kicks. ~.
There's one thing good about the
campaign, anyhow:
Neither SWeitzer nor Thompson
has been proven to be a crook.
1t is fair to assume that neither is
as bad as he is painted by his polit-
ical enemies. .E
BY the way, why should men be-
come enemies in politics?
Don't forget the aldermen in ex-
citement over candidates for mayor.
Pick out the best man, the one
YOU think is best His party politics
cuts no ice.
This isn't a presidential election.

Four hundred years before the
dawning the Christian era, the drama

and has lived and grown down
through all lagos until it is the fore

which universal peace may be found.
1t is this sublime story that is un-

Spectacular, stirring, gripping are
its scenes; laid in Greece in the pomp
and glory of her greatest day. with
its colossal groupings, classic dances

with dramatic fire and touch of senti,

to man.

Boise river, is a fine piece of work.
But the look up the river shows a
strange sight for this time of the
year; there is now less water in the
river that have ever before seen.
some years it is at flood stage at this
season; it is said that the heading back
OF the water by the new Arrowrock
dam is responsible for the law stage.
Then perhaps you try out the new
State Road over north CANYON Hill
and find a good piece of work but
clouds of dust; and pursuing your
way towards New Plymouth you sec
the closed shacks, and still better
buildings, and wonder when will Black
canyon waters come to bring the set
tiers back to their claims and to make
TINS desert blossom as the rose"
Thinking OF the two methods propos-
ed tor its irrigation reminds me of
what a Hartford, Conn, paper said
forty years ago about the relative
merits of two proposed water systems
tor that city. 1t said it might be
about all reduced to the alternative,
whether thew should let the water
run down hill all the way from Tai
colt mountain, or whether the city
should pump the water first out of
the Connecticut river up hill and then
let it run down again.
That reminds me that once when
living IN that CITY the water one morn
ing began to smell and taste strongly
! OF coal oil; although the water-taps
in the house were all left open for an
hour it was no better; a pilgrimage
to the city hall revealed a crowd Of
| people bent on the same errand. Why
was this thusly? 1t was easily ex-
planned A workman thinking about
the great pump on the river bank had
dropped his kerosene oil lamp into
the plunger and the mischief was
done; the waste of water in that city
that dav was immense, but only thus
could the evil be remedied. And that
reminds me of another thing: in those
days some experts claimed that a
running stream or big river would
cleanse itself of impurities in ten
miles flowing" but that did not re-
concile the Hartford people to use the
| Connecticut river water into which
river several cities above emptied
their sewers; and after long strug-
gle they abandoned the river and went
to the mountains; and the fallacy of
streams and rivers cleansing their
waters in ten miles flowing is now
forgotten. When l was a bov Boston
got its water about FIVE miles out
which at first was very good but be-
came at last altogether too bad, and
| have seen the Metropolitan system
of eastern Massachusetts, go forty
miles out to Nassau river as it comes
from the hills and supply water to
all the groups of cities and towns
about Boston. And the water system
of New York is still greater and we'll,
nigh perfect. Observer

ALDERMAN HARRINGTON
ENDORSES BEATTY

wish to call the attention of the
citizens of the city of Caldwell to the
report of the Superintendent of Water
Works which has been issued cover
ing the twenty-three months of Mr..
Beatty's incumbency up to April l.,
1915.
This report shows that during the
twenty-three months last past the
cash collections of the Water Depart
ment have been $20,158.02, that the
Sprinkling Fund owes the Water De-
partment the sum of $l,042.53 for wa
ter used in street sprinkling, showing
a total of business for the period am
ounting to $2l, 200.55.
The DISBURSEMENTS for such period
have been l4,387o3, unused pipe on
hand, purchased during this period,
amounts to $6O4.o8 in value; the city
Water Department therefore shows a
net gain of $7,4l760, of this sum S.
10000 have been used in retiring Wa
ter Works Bonds.
This is the first time in the history
of the city that any bonds of the water
works have been retired by earnings
of the plant. This circumstance when
considered in connection with the fact
that the water rates paid by consum-
ers of water in Caldwell are the law
est paid by the citizens of any city in
this part of the state constitutes q
truly remarkable saving and one fol
which the Superintendent is entitled
to the highest commentator as it is
solely due to his untiring efforts thai
such magnificent saving has beer
effected.
