ELECTION TOMORROW FINAL SETTLEMENT
 IF WATER QUESTION

In days gone by there have been many crisis of importance to the then smaller community in which the sub ject of city water has been the bone of contention and with much to say on both sides of the question, but on all such occasions the question in it's most serious aspect was not one of probable finality It was always a makeshift. Who should own the water works or administer them and the way to provide a bigger or better supply? What expansion could be made at a profitable investment, etc, etc.
 But on Saturday, July 26, will come before the people of Phoenix by settle ment with their ballot the all compre hensive water supply question for this city for practically all time to come. No voter need be unadvised as to how he should proceed. The city
 commission has provided a pamphlet | giving the salient features of the prof i ect The press has lent it's space 1 liberally to the exploiting of these l features and no opposition has been 1 developed Thirteen years of patient | investigation by experts has resulted 1 in the comprehensive and all embrac- ing program to be placed before the people on Saturday, and every eHgi- ble voter owes it to himself, his health,
 his pocket book, his friends and his i country to express himself on that oc-
 cation.

Itl was the latter which melted that prince of practical jokers. Theodore Hook. 10 perpetuate the most audac- ious of all hoaXes. Hook bet a guinea that l certain modest dwelling in q quiet thoroughfare leading out of OK ford street, would become the most notorious house in town, and set about winning his wager by addressing over thousand letters, containing orders to tradesmen, with the request that they would at a certain hour on cer- tain day deliver their goods at a cer- tain house in Berners street
 The lord mayor, the lord chief jus tice, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the commander-in-c chief were among the many victims that fell into the trap, and, duly arriving at the appoint ed spo5, experienced the most uncere- monious treatment amid the turbulent and exasperated throng.
 As result of a bet between the Duke Of Montague and Lord Chester | field that the former would, by adver- Using an utterly impossible perform ance, find fools enough to fill play house, it was announced that on Jan uary 10, 1749, on the stage of the Hay market theater, a person would get into tavern quart bottle, and while there sing several songs.
 On the evening appointed for the ac- complishment of this marvellous feat the house was packed from floor 10 ceiling, among the expectant audience being TO less a parsonage than the Duke Of Cumberland.
 For a while all sat in patient silence, | but, on the curtain not rising, catcalls and whistles soon swelled to open riot. Some one now threw a lighted candle upon the stage, and general stampede for that part of the house immediately followed, and in the melee that ensued the Duke of Cumberland lost his sword
 A hoax equally diverting, and with no harmful issue, was that originating with Daly, the manager of the Dublin theater, who wagered that within twenty -four hours he would introduce a perfectly meaningless word into the English language.

Phoenix. Arizona.
 July B, 1919.


 July 23, 1919. Editor Republican:
 On Saturday, July 26 the taxpayers of this city will have a chance to vote bonds for what is needed very much, first class water supply.
 If I were to lay out a site for city, the first thing I would consider as ab- solutely necessary to insure its success, would be good water and plenty of 1t. Good food and water are the two essentials of health, and without health there can be no true happiness. Even though water may not be dan gerous to the body, which is probably true of our present supply, there IS the psychological aspect to be considered. We know that nine out of ten people believe it to be injurious to their bodies, and it is a recognized scien- tific fact, that disease in many cases, is due to the influence of the mind on the body.
 Then there is the physiological ef- feet. Here again science has proved, that digestion is in a large measure matter of taste. That the glands that pour out the digestive fluids are but feebly excited by disagreeable foods or drinks. We know the present water is distasteful to a large number of our citizens. Without good digestion there cannot be good health, without good health there cannot be contentment, and contentment on part of it's citizens is the chief asset of any city. Health is what all the world is seeking. The | economic viewpoint should also be considered. People demand happiness, and secure a large part of what they | get in this world from food and water l Our present water is positively nau- seating to many newcomers, and they l leave for cities less desirable in every 1 otherways, because of it. i The financial loss each we suffer be- 1 cause of tourists leaving for this reas 1 on would go a long ways toward pay i ing the interest on the bonds, not to mention the thousands of permanent residents we have lost and will lose 1 A city's greatness is generally meas ured by her size, and we should not hesitate next Saturday to remove the ! largest obstacle in our path of prog ress.
 There are a lot of reasons being ad- vanced why we should not vote the bonds taxes will be too high. "Mos' of the money will be stolen, "Wil cost too must at the present time due to the high cost of labor and material The extra money that it would cos us for water softeners, boilers, cooking utensils etc, paying plumber bills, vii more than make up for the extra cost Besides, there is little prospect of an. change in conditions in the near flu l ture
 If we wait until everybody will b. exactly pleased, We would never get ; new water supply.
 am decidedly against the water de partment being run as a revenue pro ducer as at present. It should be fur . nished at cost.
 Let us vote the bonds, and then se that we get what we voted for a goot water system. Then watch "Phoeni grow"
 I am not on the pay roll of the city never was. and have not applied for job What I want, and what ever. other right thinking citizen of Phoe nix wants, is good water and plent. of it.

BUSINESS MEN OF CITY ARE STRONG
 FOR WATER BONDS

Every business man in Phoenix is for the bond issue for the Verde River waterworks system, and for 1t strong"
 This is the conclusion obtained by partial canvass of the cys business men, undertaken by The Republican to sound the sentiment of business in regard to the water bond election which will be held tomorrow No special effort made to interviewing only certain business men in the matter but members of The Republican staff obtained the opinions of all business with whom they happened to come in contact in the last two days And of the business men seen not one was found who could not advance some good and logical reason for voting the water bond issue of $13OOOO0 at the election tomorrow
 The business canvass developed many new reasons why the cys taxpayers should vote for the bonds tomo row. but the big dominating all was the present and future need for the big new water system
 Following are of the things representative 6us ness men of the city, picked at random had to say about the water bond election tomorrow:

GREAT SHIPMENT IF
 DIAMONDS ARRIVES

NEW YORK-Two small packages arrived in New York recently by parcel post from Holland. Each was about as large as a cigar box. These unimport- ant looking bundles contained s4000 worth of cut and polished diamonds and $25,000 worth of rough diamonds, shipped from Amsterdam to two jewel ry firms of this city. It was the largest single shipment of diamonds entering the United States since the European war was declared.
 This importation would have cost around $275,000 before the war. The war advanced the price of the gems on an average B Ia per cent throughout the world. The diamonds popularity has grown with it's price and dealers are unable to supply the demand The importers of this consignment had to pay high rate of insurance because of the danger of floating mines. This insurance will add to the price of the gems in this country.

believe they have hit it right The matter of cost is not of so much con- cern, for it will be economical in the long run. When Phoenix acquired ownership of the present water sys- tenn, many people how1ed about paying $500 900 q think that was the amount), but it has not proved expensive. Let's go at this thing in a businesslike way and get it."

q believe that this plan is the eco- nomical and sensible idea. We have city here whose water supply must be adequate, and it looks to me as though this plan will give us an ample supply for all time to come. Quality and quantity is what we will get from the Verde. and we must build for it.
