WILSON IN RACE FOR PRLS-
DENCY.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Presi-
dent Wilson To-Day cOnsen,td
formally for the first time to the
use Of his name as a presidential
candidate in the coming cam
paign. At the same time he de-
cIared he was 'entlrely unwilling
to enter into any contest > for re
nomination.
This definition Of the preSi-
dents attitude. in line with the
plans of his political assistants is
expected to bring into the open
the campaign being made in his
favor throughout the country.
Mr.. Wilson s declaration was
made in a letter to the Ohio sec
rotary Of state. who had written
that candidates for delegates from
that state to the national conv en-
tions must signify their choices
for president by February 23th
and that no presidential candidates
could be named in that connec-
ton without their consent.
Several states where no such
requirements are imposed Mr..
Wilson's name already has been
placed on primary ballots and his
friends generally have taken it
for granted that he would be a
candidate if convinced there was
any considerable popular demand
for it.

MOST METERS ARE 0. K.
NewIands Says Not One in a Hundred
Is Wrong.

Not one water meter in a hundred
complained of cheats the consumer,
according to Commissioner Frank
Newland. AS a matter of fact almost
every meter brought in to headquar-
tiers for testing purposes is more or
less charitable towards the water
user.
People are always complaining
about their water meters being off,
said Mr.. Newland, and we bring them
in to test them. We have machine
here that is absolutely accurate when
applied to a meter. Almost every
meter works just as it was intended
to work The only deviation in its
measuring comes through long use
and when that deviation begins it IS
in favor of the water consumer. Slight

ing around for some man with the
proper qualifications who will go
down to the plant and for 800 a month
work out the problem. He has re-
ceived plenty of applications but
hasn't found just the right man. Per
haps the right man will not fall for
the municipal hog pen theory. but
that will make no difference to Por-
ter, If he can show a better plan.
Fifty Dollars a Month for Coal.
The point is that the city is spend
ing about $500 a year for coal alone to
burn garbage. Added to this is the
big investment in the plant and the
payroll connected with it. And with
all the investment and all the expense
only a very small percentage of the
householders in Topeka have city gar
bage service. Those who have it pay
for it.
Porter is of the opinion that some
plan can be worked out whereby the
crematory can be made self sustaining
and still furnish free garbage col
lection service for the whole town.
That is the problem some engineer
must solve. The hog pen theory is
just one of the theories advanced. If
it should be undertaken there would
not be great deal of use left for
the crematory.
