Such Corruption
Wauchula Advocate: There is al
ready corruption showing up in Polk
county's million and half dollar bond
issue. When the representatives of
the bonding companies were in Bar
tow to bid on the bonds and while the
commissioners were in executive ses-
sion, the bond men proceeded to pass
the time by pitching pennies at
crack in the court house floor, and
vigilant deputy sheriff arrested them
for gambling. Their aggregate fines
amounted to $40 and the commission
ers, considering the bond men their
invited guests, paid the fine from the
county treasury. Awful, isn't it.
Mabel? What awonderful opportuni-
ty for a muck -raker!

SOME FACTS FOR
WATER TAKERS.

An effort is being made by the cit
council to discredit and render nil tn
municipal water plant of Palatka.
This water as it comes from tn
springs is hard, but for beverage pur
poses perfectly wholesome. 1t is
however. harsh and unsatisfactory fo
external bodily application,an of sue
consistency as to form rust in pipe
and to discolor white enamel bath
and lavatories.
For several years after the installa
ton of the plant it was regarded as
white elephant in the hands of th'
city. 1t cost a great deal of money.
People who took it gradually gave
it up and went back to the supply OF
the old private water company, whose
product is soft. The plant was at low
ebb. 1t found some to apologize but
none to defend it.
Then came a change. A council with
unusually clever business men pre-
dominating and dominating, introduc-
ed a scientific softening process. The
water was softened by the soda ash
system.
Under this process the water was
rendered soft. 1t no longer was harsh
to the skin; it no longer left a rust i0
the pipes or mains; it ceased to discol-
or lavatories and oaths; a chemi-
cal analysis pronounced it one of the
purest municipal waters in the United
States.
By degrees, through force of argu-
ment, customers We're brought back
until the plant almost began to pro-
duce a revenue.
Then soda ash used in the soften
ing process began to jump. When the
softening process was inaugurated
the Soda ash cost $3.50 per car and it
took three cars a year to soften the
water. The war came on in Europe
and certain commodities went soaring.
Soda ash was one of those commodi-
ties. The present price of soda ash
is 81 800 a car, or S4,500 per year as
against 81, $50 per year when the soft
ening process was inaugurated. No
man could at that time forsee the war
nor the advance in soda ash.
But today. with soda ash at $500
per car and at an annual cost of
S4.50O for this softening process alone,
the Palatka municipal water system
has an annual income from consumers
sufficient to defray all expenses eX-
cent the interest on the investment
and deOreciation.
Business men are f@hting the plant;
some have always done so, and they
have ALWAYS had men on the city coun-
Gil who were willing to serve them.
If this opposition We're to be with
drawn it would not be twelve months.

soda ash before the pa7a+ko munl-

While he lay on cot in Belle
vue hospital, recovering from the
effects of poisons he had taken
in an attempt to die after the poi
soning of his father-in-law was
discovered, Waite told several
stories Of how it had all happened
1.-THE Little Man."
Chief among these was the
fable of "The Man From Egypt"
This mysterious and sinister
Spirit, Waite is said to have as
sured District Attorney Swami,
was with him night and day, goad-
ing him on to evil deeds.
Nameless and intangible and
possessed OF the fiendish resource
fulness of ten thousand devils,
The Man From Egypt never has
been found. Nor is he expected to
be.
Another story Judge Swami re-
ported as having been told him by
Waite was that his father-in-law
was tired of living and asked him
to get the arsenic for him SO he
could die.
Waite has made strange state,
ments and his counsel may seek to
prove he was insane.

JUDGE PLAYS STORK;
HOME IS FRIGHTENED

One lonely little home in the
south end of the city was bright
ened today when Judge yesterday
explained to Emil and Amanda
Anderson, man and wife, that he
would gladly allow them to
adopt the baby girl which Emil
held awkwardly before the bench,
provided they could assure the
court that they loved the child.
This they did and the judge
signed the papers which will
make the home at 1928 South
14th street a paradise.
There is nothing | would
rather do than to give a home
less child a home and a childless
home a child" the Judge said.
"The baby girl looks good to me
and ! am sure 1t will bring COM
fort to YOU"
When questioned as to wheth-
err or not she would stay up
nights and tend the child when 1t
was sick, Mrs. Anderson's eyes
filled with tears and in broken
English, strongly tinted with
Swedish, she informed his honor
that she had already done that.

TrimbIe Compliments

The Rev. Delmer II. Trimble,
pastor of the First NJ. e. church,
yesterday paid the Petit police
a high compliment
In one of his sermons. He said:
This city is fortunate in tho

sioner of public safety. Yet a

missioner has some knotty prob
lens to solve in these opening
days of his administration.
1.-THE police force is the broom
with which he is to do his sweep
ing and evidently all the straws
are not to his liking. The shake
up in the department would in
dictate that Mr.. Petit is prepar-
ing his broom for execution. The

that the job Is no easy one and
will be disposed to be patient.
