Is An III Wind That Blows Nobody Good. One day last week Alfred Underbill made himself the most

unpopular citizen of Richmond when a man in his employ blasted

a stump in a field and took with it a large section of the only water main connecting the city of Richmond and the pumping station, and, in consequence, sending most of the populace to bed unwashed and thirsty and everyone in fear of a conflagration.

Underhill was the topic of conversation in the home, the club

rooms and on the street corners, a poet fired a volley of verse at him and the police hauled him before the bar of justice.

But the fact remains that the blast of dynamite on the Underhill field was powerful enough to pry open the strong box of the

Richmond City Water Works company, which has announced that

an appropriation has been made for the construction of a second

water main.

The water works company in announcing its decision to con

struct another main and to make other necessary improvements also states it is "considering the advisability of relinquishing its franchise and accepting the indeterminate permit as provided by the new statute (the public utilities commission law)." If such a decision is definitely reached, the company will have made no mistake, for the months of bickering between the city and the company has shown conclusively that the two parties concerned will never be able to draft a contract which will be perfectly satisfactory to both sides. Governor Ralston has assured the Richmond Commercial club that inasmuch as this city's formal application to have the public service commission act on the local water works question was among the first to be received he felt certain it would receive the prompt attention of the commission, which organizes the first of next month. This commission will deal with Richmond's complex question in a scientific manner and both the public and the corporation will be dealt with justly.

from the appropriation, will be return

A recommendation was presented by

Councilman Waidele to increase the vacations of the firemen to from seven

days to ten days. . Council discussed the recommendation favorably but referred It to the board of works. Peddler's License Fee. An amendment was passed and approved to the ordinance in relation ,to hawkers, peddlers, medicasters and auctioneers, requiring such persons to pay a license of $5 per day for pursuing their business In the city and regulating other matters connected with peddling and auctioneering in the city. A person who has been a resident of the city for one year or more Is exempt from this license fee. All auctioneers, pawnbrokers and persons engaged In this class of business are required to keep a record of all goods sold and the name and description of the purchaser for the inspection of the police. Ordinance Introduced. An ordinance making it unlawful for minors to enter or loiter in pool rooms or saloons was brought up on first reading. This ordinance provides a fine for minors who disobey the law. Here-to-fore the proprietor only has been prosecuted for the offense.

MANY MEN RECEIVE EMPLOYMENT HERE Refugees From Peru, Piqua, Dayton and Hamilton Given Work.

Owing to the scarcity of factory hands in this city the Starr Piano company officials have made arrangements to put some of the refugees from the flooded districts of Peru, fiqua, Dayton and Hamilton to work 0t the local factory. Though the work has been handicapped because of the liability of the railroad officials to provide prompt shipment, the factory has not been compelled to shut down.

The Starr Piano company branch salesroom at Dayton was the first to be opened for business after the flood. The rooms were put in shape by Richmond representatives of the company. All the piano companies are heavy losers having a number of pianos in homes on which payments were being made;

A Serious Indictment One of the things definitely established as a result of the investigation of the charges recently made by West Richmond people that the quarantine regulations were not being properly enforced in this city was that the rules of the state board of health are entirely too elastic to be of much benefit and can be construed by any health officer just about the way he desires to interpret them. Now comes a formal complaint to the war department, filed by an officer of the army medical corps on duty in the Ohio flood district, that the health officers of Indiana and Kentucky "fail to realize the gravity of the danger that exists of disease following the wake of the floods and are not doing enough to forestall possible epidemics." On this subject a press dispatch from Washington reads : Maj. Normoyle speaks of "sporadio cases of smallpox," which are making their appearance along the river from Bvansville to Paducah, and also of typhoid fever. The outbreak of these diseases and the possibility of plagues prompted Maj. Logan to wire to the Governors of Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois. Maj. Normoyle reports that Illinois health officials have proved responsive to Maj. Logan's appeal, and adds: "The state authorities of Indiana and Kentucky are not particularly energetic so far." This is a really serious indictment against the state board of health and warrants a prompt and thorough investigation by the

governor with the end in view of correcting the evils which have crept into the method of administering affairs concerning the public health in Indiana.

Shocking the Senate.

The senate is both shocked and grieved by President Wilson's action today in smashing a century-old precedent by delivering his message to congress by word of mouth, but the American people, who have small respect for precedents, fail to comprehend what possible harm can be done by their chief executive sauntering into the capitol and delivering an address. The argument of Senator Williams that the President's action violates democratic simplicity and smacks of an "address from the throne" is the absurd protest of a reactionary, smugly satisfied with the old order of things for no other reason than that they have been handed down from generation to generation, and who "views with alarm" any display of initiative. It is reasonable to believe that the President's action will meet with popular approval, for he expresses the views of the masses on a most important subject and they know that by his presence in the national capitol the lawmakers assembled there will give their undivided attention to the message he bears from the people, and, judging from the election returns, Mr. Wilson has a very highly developed ability of convincing any audience he addresses. Today the President preaches the necessity of a general downward revision of the tariff -and too much emphasis cannot be laid on the importance of such a doctrine, so he has chosen the most impressive way of bringing this message to the attention of congress. It is to be regretted that President Wilson has found no place in his message to dwell upon the importance of taking the tariff out of politics and to place this question in the hands of a commission of experts, as other progressive nations have done, but probably he regards such action too radical to be acceptable to his party.
