This Is My 40th Birthday

A New Deal

It will be a long time before the waterworks question is settled. And whether or not the waterworks question could be settled at once and settled fairly there is' one good reason why it should occupy a considerable length of time. That is because this contract is really an agreement entered into by the citizens of Richmond and until the provisions of any plan are well understood by everyone it would be a mistake to go to the inai proceedings.

If You Need a Medicine, You Should Have the Best.

Before the Palladium takes up any of the details of the two proposals it wishes to call attention to the fact that the present proposal of the Richmond City Waterworks is very different from the proposal it brought forward two years ago. At that time the contract proposed was in line with the already existing or.e. It did not contemplate that the city should ever own the waterworks. It did not consider the possibility of the city buying stock. It did not consider the possibility of the city participating in the profits. Nor did any one consider any modern basis of valuation. Therefore the present suggested contract is a more pleasant thing to contemplate than tho former one of two years ago. The principles which have been brought forward in modern public service contracts have therefore been recognized. This is a gain. Two years n.o these did not exist either in the minds of the company or well developed in public opinion.

Rut because the main principles have been established on which this ' waterworks question ought to be settled only means that a basis has been created on which to work. It docs not follow that the actual wording of the contract or its real Intent it so framed as to guarantee a square deal to the city. City Attorney Gardner has already pointed out many things in the contract as submitted which do rot seem equitable to the city these appeared in yesterday's Palladium In some detail. There will be others and many tlmeB others before the contract will take shape. But the point we wish to make is that while the first contract was so impregnated with Its old time ideas that it ought to have been flatly refused as it was with a burst of public Indignation, we believe that the present contracts submitted by both the waterworks company and Mr. Campfield can be amended without proceeding from the beginning. In this discussion which Is bound to come it will be the best thing for the town if the proposals are considered with the idea always foremost that the city cannot be any worse off than it is at present. That no effective club can be held over the city and that a gain has been made already for the benefit of the citizens. That this is so the average man has only to consider that while the question now is as to what valuation shall be placed on the physical plant and the "going concern" value this never even entered at the other contract discussion. We do not know that the citizens are going to take kindly to the proposition of buying back the franchise value of the plant which they themselves have created but they can consider whether they want to do It on a proposition which will keep it from growing larger year by year as the town grows.

So that whatever else can be said of the present condition of the Clty it Is in no hopeless state with nothing to gain. It has already gained. The city has already In Its attorney's hands a franchise contract which was drawn up at the time the Richmond Natural Gas company wanted a franchise. This is a good model with changes, as an expression of what is possible of accomplishment even in Indiana. With this to work with as a comparison we think that something hopeful may bo expected from the present negotiations to follow for the next few months. It is a new deal that the citizens have this timo.

$200,000 SWINDLE BROUGHT TO LIGHT (National Newa Association) Chicago, Juen 14. The changing of street numbers In the "loop district" In Chicago was responsible for the discovery of the successful 1200,000 forgery swindle conducted over a period period of eight years by Frank C. Jones. This was revealed today. Jones, for several years president of the American Electrical Fuse Co.. admitted that he had forged notes and drafts and committed false acknowledgements of accounts in order to raise money to conduct his business, which never had been on a paying basis. He said he had raised probably $70,000 In that way. Discovery was made when, owing to

the change of numbers in the Loop, a bank messenger tried to find the Chicago branch of the Fuse company. He failed and took a note for $3,000 he had Intended delivering to Jones to the man who was supposed to have made it, for a better address. That man declared the note a forgery and Jones was arrested.

HIS MASTER DIED; COLLIE KEPT HERD

(National News Association) Portland, Ore., June 14: Keeping together a band of sheep numbering 3,085 animals for two weeks after the death of the herder on the lonely range near Wagontiro Mountain, Lake County, Oregon, was the feat of a sagacious sheep dog belonging to Manuel Saunders. The dog lost but one sheep during that time. ' The herder, John Sagoiday, died of heart failure while out alone with Sounders band of sheep. It was two weeks before his body was found hf the camptender, who visits the herders at infrequent intervals, bringing food and supplies. But the sheep were safe, the faithful dog having kept the flock from scattering and guarding it from coyotes, although the Wagontlre Mountain range is among the roughest' country in Eastern Oregon. Saunders said he would not believe it possible for a dog to have handled such a large band of sheep alone had not the count of the animals disclosed the facts. No amount of money, he says, would buy the dog.

ELECTION WAS HELD Hot Campaign in Nova Sco

tia Is Ended Today. (National News Association) Halifax, N. S.. June 14. The elec

tors throughout Novia Scotia are to

day expressing their political prefer

ences and on their verdict depends

the fate of the Liberal Government,

which, under the leadership of Premier Murray, has been in office for many years. The campaign has been hotly contested in all of the eighteen constituencies. Both sides express

confidence in the outlook, though un-

pdejudiced opinion inclines to the belief that the. Liberal Government is practically certain of five years" more in office. It can be truly said that outside of extreme partisans nobody expects the Murray Government to be defeated. This is due to many reasons, the main fact being that since

1S67 only one Conservative Govern

ment has been in power in Nova Scotla, and that was twenty-nine years ago. Four times has Premier Murray appealed to the people and four times has he been returned to power with overwhelming majorities.

On the other hand, the Conserva

tives profess confidence that, even if not defeated, the Government's majority will be reduced very close to the

vanishing point. The Conservatives

have attacked the Government with a general criticism of their policies

and with the declaration that it is

time for a change.

From a broad viewpoint the results

of the election will be of interest as

indicating Canadian opinion on the reciprocity pact. It is not a direct issue

between the local contestants, yet

there can be no doubt that the proposed agreement, if it is disapproved in Nova Scotia, will notably diminish support of the Murray ministry, since the ministry not only favors the agreement but procured an assembly vote of approval for the Laurier ministry's course in negotiating it. The present election is the first important election held since reciprocity came to the fore. From It wide and influential inferences will be drawn all over CanadaIf the Murray Government is notably weakened the result will be attributed in Ontario, Quebec and the West to Nova Scotlan dislike or reciprocity. A triumph for Mr. Murray on the other hand, will undoubtedly comfort and reassure all Canadian friends of the cause. For this reason the results of the election are awaited with unusual interest by politicians and the public generally all the way from Charlottetown to Vancouver Island.

Goldsboro, N. C "A physician treated me for many distressing symptoms,' writes Mrs. Etta A. Smith, "but eave me no relief. "I suffered with neuralgia around the heart and was troubled at times with my head. I had pain in my left side, bowels, left thigh, shoulders and arms. "After talcing Cardui, I am now well and can recommend it to other suffering women." Just such doubtful symptoms, as those from which Mrs. Smith suffered, are the ones for. which it will pay you to take Cardui, the woman's tonic. It is at such times, when there is nothing to show, for certain, the real cause of the trouble, that you need a tonic, to give the body strength to throw off the illness that evidently threatens. Take Cardui, when you are ill, with the ailments of your sex. Take Cardui as a tonic, to prevent illness, when you feel it coming. Your druggist keeps it. N.
