Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
twice. juggled the books of the Treas
ury Department with the result that
they made a better showing for the
Wilson administration, but he has ap-
parently exhausted his in
that direction. The daily treasury
statement shows that the government
is running behind at the rate of
$780, 900 per day. If there were any
way in which McAdoo could cover
up this fact, doubtless he would do
so. 1t can't be done.

President Wilson says that he will
maintain the dignity of his office
by not making any stump speeches
But he was making stump speeches
more than a year ago. when he de-
clared that the Republican party haG
not had a new idea in 80 years, anC
when he denounced that party fol-
maintaining what he called out-worr
economic principles on the tariff
question. Why does he so suddenly
change his mind as to the effect OF
stump speeches upon the dignity OF
his Office?

o THE ONLY ONES

The meeting of Taft and Roosevelt
at the Union League club has been
much commented upon; but it really
not so extraordinary. These two men
the chief actors in the Republican
tragedy of 1912, are merely doing
what the lesser participants in that
contest have been doing all the time
In every state we may find former
antagonists of 1912 VINO have been
brought together by the harmonizing
and inspiring candidacy of Hughes.
In Pennsylvania, Penrose and Finn
have a common political purpose
now. In Massachusetts,, Crane and
| Joseph Walker are both for Hughes,
In Illinois, Joe Cannon and Harold
Ickes are together against the COM
mon foe. In Indiana, Hemenway and
| Beveridge are out for the Republican
ticket in earnest. In Ohio, Garfield
and Harding are working side by
side. In Connecticut, Brandegee and
| Herbert Knox Smith are earnestly
supporting Hughes. In New Hamp-
shire, Gallinger and Winston Church
i'll have the same candidate this year.
Call the roll of the state-of the
states, that is, outside of the Solid
South, the states, we mean, where
elections are not an illegal farce
and the same answer will be made.
The foes of four years ago are the
allies of today.
The meeting of Roosevelt and Taft
may center ones gaze a little more
closely, but the reunion of the others
whom we have named meal just as
much to the Republican cause.

DISCHARGED EMPLOYE REFUSES
TO ASSIST IN WILSON CAMPAIGN

Ernest Bruncken, formerly assist
ant register of copyrights at Wash
ington, d. c., Is another German
American whom the Democrats tried
to enlist In President Wilson's cause.
While holding office, Mr.. Bruncken
gave expression to such pro-German
sentiments as might naturally be ex-
pected from any man through whose
veins courses the blood of one of the
parties belligerent. Being interview
ed by a newspaper reporter, Mr..
Bruncken refused to have his views
aired in the public press. Later on.
at the instigation of President Will
son, B%runcken was compelled to
sever his connection with the copy
right office.
Corroborative of the Ridder reve-
lations in regard to the attempt of
Wilson and his party to cajole the
German vote, is the following letter
emanating from the Democratic ma
tional headquarters at Chicago:
September rs. 1916.
Mr.. Ernest Bruncken,
Assistant Register Of

Library of Congress,
Washington, ID. C.
My Dear Sir:
Not knowing whether you are
under civil service and not know
ing whether 1t would be consist
ent for you to assist us in the
pending campaign by making
some speeches in German. l ask
you to be kind enough to advise
me, by return mail, in regard to
it.. We are badly in need of
German speakers and would
greatly appreciate II you could
make yourself available to us.
Most cordially yours.

The request of Herr REG received
a very forceful acknowledgment from
Mr.. Bruncken, who declared that he
would be especially glad" to en-
tighten the Democratic masses on
how President Wilson. by his vacil-
lating. stupid and tricky diplomacy,
has twice got us into war with Mex
leo, and is now trying to get US out
of the trouble he has brought upon
us by the surrender Of American In
terests and honor. How he has sur
rendered the interests of the United
States in China to the intrigues of
Japan" Bruncken scored President
Wilson for weakly permitting Eng
land to blacklist American firms and
to rifle American mails, he declared
that the President was directly res
ponsible for the capture and subse-
quent execution Of Sir Roger Case
ment. by giving to the British gov
eminent information unlawfully OBJ
tanned through a fragrant breach of
International law" And he ccuses
Mr.. Wilson of Insulting American
citizens of German and Irish birth or
descent by calling them disloyal and
'venomous creatures for opposing his
un-American and unpatriotic poll
cies."
Needless to say. the attempt to en-
list MIR. Bruncken's services on the
side OF Woodrow Wilson ceased
forthwith. But, regardless OF the
controversy. 1t is apparent that the
Democratic party has engaged In

THE WATERWoRKs BONDS.
Public Works Commission Makes
Statement in Regard to Election.

The commissioners of public works
Tuesday made the following state
ment, with regard to the proposed
bond issue for the extension of the
waterworks system of the city:
''The present waterworks plant
was installed solely for fire protec-
ton on Main street. The cost was
approximately $4,000.
''This type Of waterworks system
brought in absolutely no returns so
far as the receipts from selling water
was concerned. But, from the stand
point of fire protection, we do not
think that any one will argue that it
has not fully paid for itself.
1.-The ideal water system, of course,
is one that will supply sanitary wa
ter for drinking purposes and good
quality of soft, stainless water for
commercial purposes, as we'll as fur
nish fire protection. With sys-
tenn like this it is not hard matter
to make a waterworks business self
sustaining on account of the sale of
water.
with this idea in view, we en-
CLOSED our reservoir some time ago
in order to keep the water clean and
sell it for commercial purposes only.
We have been very successful in this,
as our receipts for the past month
are at the rate of $500 per year.
with water system supplying
good drinking water the receipts
could be greatly increased, as the
water is used only for commercial
purposes at present and great many
would subscribe if the water could
be used for drinking purposes.
"The new bond issue is for s15,-
900. The bond issue for the present
water plant was $1,000. The diff
ference between $1,000 and $4,000
was paid by the commissioners. Then
the total bond issue covering the
plant which we are planning will be
$4,000. In case these bonds do not
bring over 6 per cent, par, the in
terest will amount to $3.50 per
year.
"Now with this increase in busi-
ness on Main street, on account of a
sanitary drinking system, and the
new business obtained by extending
the lines through the residential Sec
ton of the town it should be an easy
matter to Increase the receipts from
$500 to $3.50, which will be neces-
sary to make up the additional in
terest.
I'm order not to be misleading,
we will say here that the business
on Main street is much greater in
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1916-04-13

proportion to the money invested per
foot of water lines than will be on
lines carried through the residential
section of the town.
''If you will notice, the above ex-
penses only include the interest on
the bonds. However, these are not
all of the expenses. The expenses
necessary to supply, maintain and
serve also come in here. In regard
to these, we do not hesitate to say
that the total expenses supplying the
new, system will be less than at pres
ent, on account of using a suitable
supply.
I'm taking around the petition for
the election, we have found very few
who are opposed to it. In fact there
are practically none who have ex-
pressed themselves. We feel sure
that if all opposed to this bond is
sue will look into it from busi-
ness standpoint they will vote for it
instead of opposing it. In looking
up this matter don't forget to- find
out what the receipts amount to in
towns about the size of Bamberg.
You will find that they amount to
more than one third as much as re-
ceipts from electric current. There
is no reason why a water business
here will not do as we'll as in other
towns. If it does, the income will
be a great deal more than the
amount mentioned above, which Is
necessary to make it self sustain
ing"
