eixe-us a New Water System

One eellfrom todayIny 26, the qualified electors of the city of Phoenix will vote proposition to issue bonds for the installation of water works system to guarantee an adequate supply for many years to come for city of at least 100000. bond issue of S1s3OO,o0O has been proposed. The water procured by-infiltraton is to be brought by gravity to reservoir above Phoenix through conduit Such system would be equal any other in the country.
 Engineers after long and careful study of the project have given it their most hearty approval Expert examination of the water has shown it to be of the highest quality for all purposes
 We are confronted by the fact that the present water system is inadequate. While the volume of water is sufficient city of 25OOO it has become inadequate for Phoenix and it is becoming more in- adequate every day. The water we have is not of good quality; it is good for iron work and is not good for the human stomach It is bad for the plumbing system and bad for the human system.
 Though those of us who have become used to it mind it no longer we remember disaste of it in the beginning It is dstastefu to all strangers and is that extent, drawback in that it contributes to the unfavorable first impression.
 We know that s1,3OOOOO is an impressive sum. So impressive is it that may be inclined to reject it without consideration either the necessity for it of the lightness with which it will rest Phoenix.
 The bonds proposed 10 be voted are long -tlme bonds. When they paid they will be paid by a very wealthy town of at least 100000 people; we believe the population of Phoenix will be much than that by that time. It is true that in our own time must make provision for the payment of the interest and for a sinking fund but believe that that will be than offset to us by the lessened cost of operating the plant by lower insurance rates by reduced plumbing bis by reduction of repairs for boilers by the saving clothes in the processes of the laundry and in many other ways.
 And then, think of the kind of water we will have and of the advertisement such system will be to Phoenix

Questions and Answers

c. Why is it that women seem to excel men as swimmers? w. R l.
 A. Swimming comes easier to women than men because the specific gravity of their bodies is less than those of men. The proportion of flesh is greater in the body of a woman than in that of a man and the proportion Of bone is less. Therefore the woman IS lighter in proportion to her size and floats more readily. This gives her an advantage as a swimmer.
 o. Who were the carpet -baggers? R. o. R.
 A. Carpet baggers' is the name given by the southern whites to those northern whites, who after the civil war same south and took active part in politics. The name arose from the fact that few intended to settle perma- nently but carried their effects in a "carpet-bag" They organized and largely controlled the negro vote.
 c. Are there snakes in Ireland? C. J. H.
 A. There is a legend that snakes were driven out of Ireland by Saint Patrick. the patron saint of that coun- try. The popular saying that there are no snakes in Ireland is true. There are none in Scotland and only two species in England.
 o. Who were the earliest users of shorthand? R. S. V.
 A. The Romans were the first to use shorthand. They used it throughout the first century, B. C., continuing its practice for at least four centuries. Marcus Tullius Tiro, the secretary and librarian for Cicero, was the pioneer of Roman shorthand.

War on Suspicion

Among the causes of the war mentioned by Mr. Ford at the trial of his libel suit was strong drink The wine drunk by the French and the beer con- sumed by the Germans made them suspicious of one another" Strong drink works differently different people but we had supposed that it's tendency was to dull and reduce suspicion though it sometimes distorts the imagination.
 Beer and wine have not generally been classified as fighting drinks. Up to certain point they are supposed to promote good feeling After that point what they may do is problematca, depending upon the temperament of the consumer and the condition of his stomach
 But whether sodden with beer. warmed by wine, fired by whisky. or sober, people apt to to war on suspicion They usually have definite and a deep laid purpose All Europe had been set for the great for than ten years. There may have been a few people who believed that wars would be no more, but all thinking persons knew that .he great war was only waiting for some to give The word
 It may be that the Serbian youth at Sarajevo had taken a drink much; that the Austrian, Count Berchtold had over estimated his capacity for wine when he heard the echo of that shot; that in Russia and Germany and France statesmen had fingered too long the vodka, beer and wine when world had to the most critical point in it's whole course since it spinning into space
 We hardly think though. The who make wars not usually drinking They may drink, but they a rule who do not allow drink to interfere with business.
 John Barleycorn has enough indictments against him to hang him. He has, been tried, convicted and sentenced. So far he is concerned it will make little difference whether he is accused of the world not But if we make such accusa- ton and let it lie for John Barleycorn cannot be tried now-on this charge, others who be guilty will escape.

Our Sister. Pinal

The people of the country about Florence and Casa Grande locking forward to the building the San Carlos reservoir to add something more than O0O acres of the most fertile in world the cultivated Of Arizona They naturally look to the people the Salt River Valley especially the towns of the Salt River Valley, such help their influence render in bringing about this great improvement.
 There is nothing but imaginary line separating the counties of AIaricopa and Pinal We can see it only when looking a map Pnal for homie purposes is as much part of Marcopa the country about Mesa Buckeye is. We should be all in the boat then the boat would on an evener keel and carry richer cargo.
 Except for purposes of taxation for county pur- poses, it would much to Marcopa and espe- ciay to the towns of Marcopa that 100000 in Pinal should be given sufficient supply, if 100000 more acres in Marcopa should be brought under cultivation. The larger the area of land in every district is the valuable all the land be- comes The markets become greater people move in; the towns grow rapidly and become prosperous.
 We believe that by strong pulling together of the business men and commercial bodies and clubs of the towns of this valley and those of Pinal county the San Carlos dam which ought to have been built years ago will be built. We think the government only needs to be stirred to action

TRAFFIC LAW FOR PEDESTRIANS

It will be of s1O ten days for people afoot who "cut corners' in. crossing streets if amendment to the code of ordinances filed the other day by the public thoroughfares committee of the board of alderman is adopted. The amendment was introduced at the request of the police department last October and has been sleeping in the commit tee on public welfare since. It provides
 NO pedestrian while travelling any street, ave- nue or highway shall cross said street, highway, except at regular street crossing, or at designated points in the center of blocks which are four hundred feet more in length.
 Pedestrians shall at all times comply with any direction by voice. hand whistle from any mem Der of the police force to starting stopping"
 The proposed ordinance had no penalty attached, but the code of ordinances provides that when no penalty is attached to an amended ordinance the penalty shall be the general of a fine of s10, ten days in jail both in the discretion of the mag istrate presiding at the tral.-New York Mail.

The Voice of An Authority

We hope that every member of the Water Users Association will read the communication of Mr. C. C. Green which appeared in The Republican yesterday morning, urging the taking by the association of the cement plant at Portland siding. MT. Green speaks with triple authority-as prominent member of the association as a member of the highway mission who has given the subject long and careful study and who has been highly successful in the business of farming. The word of such a should bear weight.
 If it were not good thing for the Water Users Association to do, to take over the plant, MT Green would certainly not advocate it. for if disaster should attend. it would fall more heavily upon him as upon all large land holders than it would upon the average member of the association.
 If it were not good thing for the proposed high way system, again MT. Green would advocate it

sist upon the Water Users association taking over a cement plant and manu- featuring cement for the purpose which I have outlined. if I did not believe myself that it was a good commercial venture that would yield sufficient re- turns on the investment to warrant the taking up of the enterprise.
 When we sum up the Water Users association, it consists of each and every farmer in Maricopa codnty un- der the Roosevelt project who owns land and buys water. 1 only advocate the entering into this industry after we have had the fullest investigation made by an expert with unquestioned ability to judge the feasibility of the manufacture of cement, the machinery required to produce it, and the cost of production. We have the report of this expert in the person of E. Duryea, whom we all know. The machinery at the plant at Portland Siding, which is now under discussion, is reported by him to be four-fifths of the cost of the plant in first class condition with many new parts on the ground to re- place those minor parts that show wear by use. Motors now in use on a rental basis in our city are reported by F. A. Ensign to be in first-class con- dition.
 I will ask all those who are not in position to speak intelligently on the manufacture of cement and the taking over this plant. to inform themselves before condemning the proposition as submitted to the Water Users associ- ation by the highway commission. I will say to the farmers that the high way commission are your fellow farm CTS and are as much interested in the success or failure of the cement indus try as they or any other citizens in this county.

HE SILLY SEASON


 A silent will often reason soundly, A man who's square may still berate you roundy; A pitcher is not chosen for his mug, A family jar occurs without a jug And fine-cut features may adorn plug. A poor prune wins peach and still is fruitless, The business of a cobbler may be bootless; You must be in the push to have a pull, A bum steer makes a coward throw the bull, And sheepish minds most often gather wool. A girl may give you lip and yet not kiss you. And still maid dismayed may not dismiss you A man who to smoke may still be fired, Or have his wages lowered when he's hired.
