At the risk of his life a father named William Burns saved a child from drowning. lie did not know whose child It was. Half a dozen children were playing by the side of a canal as Mr: Burns drove by. Suddenly there were screams, and little hands pointed to the water. Jumping Into the canal, Burns encountered a swift current caused by a nearby sluiceway. By great exertion he reached the drowning child and brought It ashore. "My God, It's my boy!" exclaimed Burns. You say the conjunction of the man's heroism and the rescue of bis own flesh and blood were a mere coincidence. Perhaps, but the moral remains. He who saves the child of his day or generation may be saving his own child. When a father Insists as a patron of the public school upon proper lighting and ventilation and reasonable school hours he may be saving his own child from contagion or Illness. ' When he demands an atmosphere of moral purity in and about the premises of the schoolhouse he may be saving his own boy or girl from the taint of impurity. When he declares that the saloon keeper must obey the law respecting the sale of intoxicants to minors and takes the personal pains to see that the law Is observed he may be saving bis son from drunkenness. When he helps to create a public sentiment that prohibits gambling he may be saving his boy from temptation. And so on. Fathers should realize that the interests of the child are Inextricably bound up with the interests of the community. Communal concern Is concern for the individual. The weal or woe of the child is largely dependent upon the disposition and willingness of fathers to plunge Into the waters to save a child, no matter whose child it may be. If in the sequel it should turn out that the willing citizen has saved his own flesh and blood thrice blessed Is he. No man liveth to himself. We are all tied up together in the public concern, and there Is no way to undo the tangle; The only thing to do is to jump in .when the occasion shows Itself and save the child anybody's child.

The Enquirer s View.

A few days prior to the Vermont election the Cincinnati Enquirer, a Democratic paper supporting Wilson and friendly to Taft, stated editorially that if the Progressives in Vermont polled five thousand votes the new party could consider it had made a wonderful showing. At the election the Progressives polled over fifteen thousand votes and the Enquirer's opinion of this show of strength by a month old political organization is interesting We reproduce an editorial appearing In the Enquirer last Saturday: Vermont has spoken, and In no uncertain tones. If It has failed to elect a Governor by popular vote, it has not failed to register the defeat before the people of the candidate of the Republican organization in the strongest Republican state of the Union. The Vermont vote gives encouragement to the Democrats, not through any great gains in votes for their party, but through its impressive disclosure of the terrible and fatal wounding of its ancient antagonist, the Republican party. We say ancient antagonist advisedly, in view of the Vermont vote, for the lesson it teaches is not only of the weakness of the Republican party, but of the virility and strength of the Progressive party, and the 15,000 or more votes that party polled for Metzger within one month of its organization as a natloral force is an extraordinary and amazing result in such a state as Vermoi.t. The Enquirer forthe last few weeks has warned the Democratic managers of the danger of belittling the strength of the Bull Moose party and the ability of its leader to achieve results in the present condition of public sentiment. The Republican leaders last w'nter and spring committed that error, and the Chicago convention and Its subsequent rending and crushing results followed the primaries. Vermont shows those leaders that the new party and its leaders have already done it to death before the electorate, and as every one knows that Colonel Roosevelt is thousands of voteB stronger in Vermont than was Metzger, and that thousands of Fletcher's supporters will vote for Roosevelt in November, Vermont's Electoral vote is assured now to no party. The reception of Colonel Rooseelt in Connecticut and Massachusetts last week was most significant of his popularity among the masses of the voters in those states, but the tearing down of the Republican structure in Vermont and the piling up of 15,000 votes by a month-old party in that most Republican of states is an event of prime importance. Democrats, during congratulations upon the Vermont vote, must not forget that it is two months yet to election day, and that political tides run swift and strong under the direction of an able, shrewd and popular leader.

The Maine Election.

Maine is holding its state election today. It is quite probable the state will go Democratic. In anticipation of this the reactionary press for the past few days has been making a vicious effort to belittle the strength of the Progressive party in that state by passing out the misinformation that the Maine Progressives have united with the Republicans in a common cause to defeat Governor Frederick W. Plaisted, a Democrat, for re-election. The reactionaries believe that if the impression can be created that Progressives are the allies of the Republicans in the Maine election they will be able to 'convince the voters all over the country that the new party in Maine did not have enough strength, even when united with Republicans, to prevent a Democratic victoryIt is needless to state that the reactionary press has absolutely distorted the political situation in Maine. Just one grain of truth can be found in the articles referred to, and that is the Maine Progressives have no state ticket. The truth Is the Maine Progressives in their determination to administer another severe beating to the Republican machine, which for so many years controlled the government of the northeastern state, decided to support the candidacy of Governor Plaisted for re-election and all through the campaign have been fighting sturdily in the Democratic ranks. IF PLAISTED IS RE-ELECTED IT WILL BE AS MUCH A VICTORY FOR THE PROGRESSIVES AS IT WILL BE FOR THE DEMOCRATS. Governor Plaisted has been a splendid executive. His services, in fact, have been so great to the state that the reactionaries of both old parties have united forces to defeat him. The two machines began war on him in 1910 when he was a candidate for governor the first time. Even the hand of the national administration could be seen in the attempt to route Plaisted. Illustrative of this is the fact that Judge Putnam of the United States court of appeals, a Democrat of the old Cleveland school, wrote letters and sent them broadcast through the state urging Plaisted be defeated because he championed the initiative and referendum. But these principles triumphed. Two years ago Plaisted forced his nomination over the Democratic machine and,hewill be sustained again today by Progressives and progressive Democrats. The utter absurdity of the stories in the reactionary pres :: that the Progressives have joined with the Republicans against Plaisted is further borne out by the personnel of the Republican ticket The candidate for governor is William T. Haines, an important cog of the old Blaine-Frye machine; the candidate for United States senator is Congressman E. C. Burleigh, a consort of the Penrose-Guggenheim-Cannon-Dalzell crowd. In the national election the Maine Progressives will not be found supporting the Democratic nominee. They will line up solidly behind Roosevelt and it is already conceded that the fight in Maine is between the Colonel and Prof. Wilson.

The Palladium: The absorbent character of the present political situation, is, I am somewhat afraid, detracting the at tention of the press from local is- j sues of vital importance. The events ! of the past week suggest that the work in connection with the water works franchise must not be relaxed or ere many days it will have receded back to the conditions very little better than those of the company's first proposal. There is no great cause for complaint in the removal of the profitsharing clause as it was framed, for it can be demonstrated to a mathematical certainty that the city never could receive a dollar in the form of profits in excess of 6 per cent, basing the necessary earnings to pay said profits on the present valuation. There is cause for complaint, however, in the city relinquishing her rights to free water privileges. The Intention to so relinquish is the more amazing, seeing it emanates from the city officials without a suggestion from the water works company. The idea of such a proposal being made with the end in view of bringing down the cost of water to the consumer, does not hold good. The former proposal is all that is necessary to prove that fact, for they proposed to discontinue the free water privileges in that proposition, yet raised the cost of water to the consumer one and six-tenth cents a thousand gallons. I feel justified in asking, and the public is entitled to know, why this proposal to forfeit free wafer privileges was made. Has the administration any assurance from the competing companies that the equivalent to the free water used will be given to the consumers in general? Will the reduction given be a just return for the sacrifice the eity is making? Let me demonstrate what I mean by "sacrifice": The Richmond City Water Works claim to have a perpetual franchise. If they are sustained In that claim it will be on the construction of section 31 of the ordinance of 1885 and the amended ordinance, Sec. 6, of 1892, which says: "And all rights and privileges herein granted to the city, of water for the use of the city, citizens, and the public, Free of Cost, shall continue free and without cost during all the time said company. Its successors or assigns, shall hold or exercise any rights or privileges within said city, now granted by this ordinance." If the Richmond City Water Works can be sustained in their claim that they hold a perpetual franchise, the court so sustaining must concede that the city also holds perpetual free water privileges as both claims are covered by the same section. Would it not have been more like business to withhold any such intentions to forfeit said rights, until after bids had been submitted? A chance to see what the consumers were profiting by the forfeiture would be possible if such a course had been adopted. The present franchise expires Sept. 21st, 1912. Bids are not yet advertised for. The question will not be settled before the present franchise (or contract) expires. To the members of council and the city administration I want to give a word of warning. TAKE NO CHANCES: Prepare a resolution extending the time of the present franchise until the present proposal is whipped in line and made acceptable both as to conditions and rates. The courts have decided in other states that a private company operating and exercising its franchise privileges after the contract expires and before another Is granted acquires, by. so operating and exercising, a perpetual franchise.
