The Editor,

Alexandria. Va,
Dear SIR
The following editorial appeared
in your issue of January 23rd, l922:
Water Pressure
"Numerous complaints of the lack
of adequate water pressure have been
received recently at the Gazette OF
flee. Inquiry at the water company
have apparently failed to satisfactory
explanation.
"What is the trouble?"
Please advise this Company Of the
names and addresses of the "numer-
Gus complaints" you refer to of lack
of adequate pressure, and they Will
receive prompt attention and lnvestl-
cation.
The place to file complaints is with
this Company and not with the Alex
andria Gazette. There is not single
complaint made at the Office of this
Company that does not receive prompt
attention. We have no complaints on
file awaiting attention.
Lack of pressure when investigated
has generally been due to old stop
ped up service lines Of insufficient size,
1t is the duty and obligation of the
consumer to remedy such matters and
we have in numerous instances gone
to considerable trouble and expense
to assist our consumers in locating
trouble with their house service con-
nections. Please give the same pub
licity to this as you did to your edi-
torial.
Respectfully,

Young Man of Sterling Worth h-Blytheville Bar Gives Judge Royal,
 Big Boost.

The following news item was clip ped from the current issue of the Blytheville Courier, published in the home town of Judge c. F. Keck. who is aspiring to represent. this judicial district as Circuit Judge, the nom- ination for which position will be determined at the primary election to be conducted next Tuesday-Au- gust 8th. Judge Neck has been in Paragould and Greene county during the past few days, meeting with the citizens, and he has made most fla vorable impression, generally regard ed as being a most formidable candi- date for the honors he seeks. Here's what his home town paper says of him:
 ''The BIytheville Bar Association of Blytheville, Arkansas, hereby en- dorses the candidacy of Hon. G. E. Neck for Circuit Judge, and in doing so recommends him to the bar and to the voters of the district as one who is ill every sense of the word worthy of the honor he seeks.
 Judge Neck is a young man who has honorably acquitted himself in everything he has undertaken.
 He is citizen above reproach, a man of the highest sense of honor and lawyer of ability.
 Our endorsement of him is un- qualified and without reservation.
 The above endorsement was un- animous and signed by every mem Der of the Blytheville Bar and ex- presses the sentiment of the voters of Mississippi county and all others who know him.
 Judge Keck is the present County Judge of Mississippi county and as such he has rendered valuable ser vice and faithfully executed the trust reposed in him. Under his ad- the enormous debt of the county has been paid; a new court house has been built and paid for and the county scrip has risen in value from thirty-five cents to one dollar. By having the county books audited annually by reputable auditors he has recovered and saved thousands of dollars for the taXpay CTS of this county. Judge Neck has been actively engaged in the practice of law for the past twelve years. He has built up his practice entire ly through his untiring energy and

Little Rock. Aug. 2.-L. A. Coop CT, superintendent of the Arkan- sas Anti-Saloon League, in reply to a letter received from Wayne D.. Wheeler, attorney for the National Anti-Saloon League, characteriZes the poll now being taken by the Literary Digest as huge farce. In his letter to MT. Wheeler Mr. Cooper says:
 For a paper that usually uses it's head I am surprised at the Digest for pulling such a bone.
 "The prohibitionists of Arkansas believe that the fight is over and they are not interested in the poll.
 Since the ballots do not have to be signed and do not contain ad- dresses, they are absolutely unfair.
 What is there to keep anyone who is interested either financially or by a desire to drink from going to the phone end calling all of his wet friends and asking them to buy a half dozen copies of the paperr and mail in the votes or what is there to keep them from printing q batch and mailing them in?
 ''The overwhelming majority of the people of Arkansas are in favor of the enforcement of the law and as matter of fact would like to see it made stronger.

RAIL WAYS TO RUN WITH NEW
 WORKING FORCE
Rail Executives Prepare to Continue Fight After Flatly Refusing
 Peace.

New York, Aug. 2.--Railway exec utives yesterday firmly but courteous ly rejected the program advanced by the Harding administration for settlement of the rail strike.
 Willing to accept conditionally two suggestions put forward by the White House-that both sides abide by wage decisions of the Labor Board and that lawsuits sDringing out of the strike be withdrawn the heads of 14S roads declared cmphatically that it was impossible to reinstate strikers with unim- paired seniority rights, the third provision of the presidents plan.
 After being told by Robert s. Lovett of the Union Pacific that there was no moral or practical req son for Judging from their position, the executives disbanded, indicating that they are going ahead and will operate their roads with the forces they have assembled since the shop men walked out July l.
 The decision not to yield as to senipritS wls made known to the White House by telegraph after the rail heads had listened to 20- minute address by Secretary Hoover, who as representative of the presi dent told them that the administra- tion holds the seniority question of minor importance in comparison with that of upholding the Labor Board.
 The only question which arose in the short period during which the presidents proposal was under active discussion was how emphatically the reply of rejection should be worded. In the balloting each road was given one vote for each 1000 miles of track operated. The reply. drafted during the noon recess by the stand ing committee, was adopted by a vote of 265 to 2
 This however, represented unani- nous disapproval of the presidents plan, the two dissenting votes being cast by L. F. Loree. chairman of the Eastern conference, representing the Delaware and Hudson, ana the Kan sas City Southern with the explana7 tion that he wished the seniority turned down even more decisively.
 Only two roads operating in the United States were not reported rep resented. They were the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic, and the Gulf and Ship Island, both of which have been unaffected by the strike.
 President A. H. Smith of tho New York Central apparently crystalized the sentiment of the chiefs when, during their discussion, he threw on the conference table 400 telegrams from foremen and supervisors of the road, announcing they would resign if the seniority ranking of the strikers were returned

SoLrPHoNE SUBSCRIPTION
GOOD MARRIAGE LAWS.

Of the making of marriage laws, like the making of books, apparently tler4 shall be no end. Two sugges- tidhs made by Dr. Anna Hochfelder, of Brooklyn, N. Y, might we'll be incorporated in any matrimonial legal code. Mrs. Hochfelder advo- cates other restrictions also, but the two mentioned have especial merit. They are:
 Every woman, before marriage license shall be issued, should be required to present evidence that she is skilled in trade or occupa- ton which would enable her to sup port her children should she be left q widow.
 The man should be required to certify that lie is capable of provid- ing for himself and his wife, and that for at least three months prior to his application he has had q lawful and gafnful occupation.
 What saving sense is here! The history of wifehood and widowhood would have been very different in the past had such precautions been made compulsory long ago. The pension problems of the nation would be infinitely lighter today. The protection of the adult, the child and society would be served by such laws. M

We'll for those who can get away from home and business to entirely new scenes. We'll for those who must remain on the job to accept the challenge of the laziest month, get as much leisure as they can, and do their work with as little effort.
 The ice man and the farmer who is harvesting are about the only fellows whose business is not quieter in August Probably they will have to stay on the iob full time, but in most other occupations the con- cern or the individual in business hy himself can arrange for short ened business day or week. Family and house keeping cares should be frightened, too, so that the home maker may have her chance for rest and recreation before fall and school begin to make demands upon her.

WAR OR CONFERENCE.

Bad economies. not lack of pa triotism. is at the bottom of the rail apd mine strikes. President Hard ieE f1ads that clear in his reply to the &nwfse telegram. sent him by J. Cleve Dean. Everybody involved in either strike his made mistakes. not excepting the administration. But none of the faults arose from disloyalty to the United States. Wrong g-headed action, riots. calling out of troops, etc, are the results of letting the settlement of labor disputes fall into the strike stage instead of keeping them in the con ference stage.
 Just at present the outlook is hopeful for return to conferences. Here Is always the greatest oppor- tunity of government--to compel conference and the presentation of facts. Somehow or other, when cold, straight facts are lined up in plain view of the quarreling parties and of the public, the solution to the problem comes to the front, too When the conference method is aban- doned for strikes and violence and war. the wise solution is lost in the confusion and things are invariably thrown into a hopeless mess.
 War--between nations, between factions, between individuals has never really settled anything yet. The human race learns that little fact over and over again, only to forget 1t for time in the next emergency. Some day it will re- memher It in the first place. and a lot 0f time and energy will be saved and misery and abuse will be avoid ed.
