to explore the region Of the present

view of obtaining an adequate sun
ply, and saw no chance for relief from
that quarter Suggested the use of
water from the creek during auies-
cent stages of the stream. Councillor
Jones was unqualifidely in favor of
going after the Cluf Spring and said
he was ready to take action on the
matter tonight" Councillor Fuller
believed that the town must have more
water or il couldn't grow.
Attorney Ryan was called upon for
an opinion as to the legal ability of
the city to bond for a sufficient sum
to impound the Cluff Spring and in
clude 1t in the city's water supply.
Also in relation to the legal status of
the question should the city decide to
use the water from this spring, which
now flows into the creek channel and
is part of the general water supply
for the valley. Mr.. Ryan pointed out
how the balance of the city's bonding
capacity of approximately $4,000
might be stretched to cover the es-
innate submitted for cement pipe by
making them bear the full legal rate
of interests. And did not antici-
pate any serious legal complications
from the appropriation of the water
from the spring, calling attention to
the city's right to condemn water for
culinary purposes, il found necessary.
! The net result of the discussion was
the appointment of committee to in
vestigate the chances of bonding. and

business as the choice of a candidate
who may become President of the
United States you ought to have quiet
elaboration, freeplay, not for those
who can shout the loudest but for
those who can speak the wisest.'
And to this remark the bowling,
whirling dervishes who attended the
Convention might have responded, IL
they waited long enough to hear IL
through, by yelling "Hail, Hail, the
gangs all here and would have
darted off to catch up with their
fellow bacchanals." etc. SO
Commenting on this depletion of a
National Convention, M. Beale, in his
letter, said:
"If these conditions were strange
for the nomination of a President,
they were still more strange for the
working out and forming of the prin-
ciples and planks of a political plat
form"
"A political platform would surely
have more clearness if thought out
in the libraries and studies of the
scholars of the country than in the
turmoil and noise of political con-
vention; it would have more consis-
tency it made away from it's EARRING
elements; it would have fewer eva
sions and antiquities If not made
under the pressure of it's clashing
interests and the great organic truths
Of sociology and economies for the
guidance of party could be more
profoundly considered and more eff
fectively expressed.
"There never has been a time when
the two great parties have differed so
fundamentally in principle as now
differences that go to the very foun-
dation of society; never a time when
so many brands of quack medicine
have been so theoretically hawked
about as cures for the distempers OF
the state, and therefore never a
time when an honest platform and
straight thinking, holding out nc
false hopes and promising no short
cuts to the millennium, is more inn
portant than now"
