IT ISN'T

It isn't failure you bave lost . A battle you have nobly fought, If boiTeted and temp)3t-tossed You failed to reach the goal you scught. It isn't failure, thoutrh tbe prize Into another's hands is place J; A hero very often dies, If dying keeps him undisgraced. To bow unto a better man Is not the worst thins you can do; Success is not in things we scan. But in the heart forever true. It takes more courage far to fail, Than win a victory undeserved. To bear the taunts of those who rail. Than from your purpose to be swerved. Success is not in bavin? won The golden prizes of today; It is not in tne deeds you've done, But rather it is in the way You conquered, that you will be judged When all of earth's accounts are in; If you keep honor still unsmndged, . ' , God does not ask of you to win. Edgar A. Guest

HEW SUPERINTENDENT UNDERWOOD FINDS CONDITIONS NOT AS SATISFACTORY AS SUPPOSED. RIND IS OVERDRAWN 2fo Honey With Which: To Do the New Work Which Had Beta Planned Heretofore. At the special session of the city council last night to act on the new plat of the Commercial Club, another matter was brought up incidentally by a report of the new chairman of the water-works committee. Councilman Underwood. Mr. Underwood presented a report on the water-works plant when he took hold of the matter. It will be remembered that Mr. Clizbe, an expert on water-works affairs was in charge of this departmpnt- Thprp had hpn instnllpil twn electric motors for pumping water, j hut the morning after Mr. Clizbe re signed one cf the new motors was "burned out, and it has been sitting there ever since, notuin- being done with it. Naturally Mr. Underwood W n.,t unnt tn ha oWWl fh """ anvthinir for which he is not re sponsible, so he makes the following exhaustive report of the condition of this department when he was appointed to it: Mr. John B. Bowell, Mayor City of Plymouth. Ind. Dear Sir Having been appointed by you as Chairman of the Water Works Committee of the Citv Council. it is fitting that I report to you the conditions existing when I first examined into water works affairs. At the time of the Klevator fire last July, there were several leaks made manifest in the old wood water pipes, on north, Walnut street, on Dickson ' street and on Pearl street. These leaks" were not attended -tof and the Superintendent of "Water Works was . maintaining danger lights at these places each nivht. The water waa being wasted in large quantities also. " The most serious point about this state of thing? with the water mains, was tbt ;t cose of another fire it would bp nei-1 -.n-vo.j cut off these lines, ami shuiP ' fire happen to be where service.wouiu be needed from these . mains, .the firemen' would have no way of using tlie crippled Jines, and property would be at the mercy pf the flames. At the Water Works plant I found that some months since a new pump, similar to the one installed some two years since when the tank was ' erected had been placed, and in being connected up ( for running, it V7as found necessary to reduce ' the speed at which it was set to run. Tbi3 necessitated sending for new p-rt3. IJean while . by son: means urzpliizcd by any cne, tha electric zzzttr thzt drives tha eld pznp xrta tz.zz-zl en er t t cut. xzlizh

FAILURE amounts to the same thing. It was necessary to take, the' new motor that was to run the new pump and attach so that it could run the old pump, and so keep up the water supply.. Many of our citizens myself with others had been led to suppose from reports that were published, that the City had a duplicate pumping system, and safety so far as water supply is concerned, was thereby insured to us, Contrary to this I found thatj the old pump was the only reliance we had, and at any moment the motor running it might be- "burnt out" as the old one ha d been, and then the only recourse would be "back to the old steam pumps" that have been abused in so many statements in the last two years. Of course the two new boilers that were purchased by a former council were not installed, but were "disposed of." Hence the City must have steam piped from the electric light plant, so that our old steam pumps could be used in eases cf emergency. Turning to thesa two old pumps, I found that on one of them was a card hung,, informing anyone who might be concerned. that the valve connecting it with the I water pipe was out of order. When I spoke of the condition of the other pump I was informed that neither one of them was worth more than oTfl junk, and no dependence could be put on them. He further told me that they were not ('turned over" every day, or 'every week, or every month, even. Of course I could plainly see that little reliance could be put in case of an emergency, on machinery that was given no care whatever. These pumps on which the City might have to depend at any moment for safety were being 'itterly neglected, and left to rust and rot down. Going outside to where the water tank stands. I found that one of the brace rods from the center pipe to the corner of the tower structure. ToVen and Anging down, and had been so for some time. When the tower was built Hie center pipe was protected from frost by a casing kf f tea,d. of havin- a ol"ul l 1.1.'. . A 1 .. ""aiion jor uns 10 rest in. some Pleces of timber were laid down on the s:oft ground. anTl of course settled bv the weicht' of the lumber of the casing, thereby breaking thi rod, "and-endangering other parts of the structure. About the ground, half buried in dirt, were pieces of iron pipe and other materials, rusting and being rendered unnt fer use. In the room where tools and small articles are, kept I found that the citv was owner of a varietv of - - "articles too numerous tö -mention," that have eest much money, but are of no practical value. There are a number of tools that there seems to be no use for whatever, unless it be to lend to mechanics about the city. I would not be understood as wishing to make a ride "not to lend.'' for often we need to" borrow, and it is proper , to accommodate another who may need the temporary use. of atocl. vBut I learned that some of these tools have'lwen taken land haj;e been away for months, dnd are. still away. There miht ' be a .":r.U to such -a state of things, ' hgt the Superintendent of -Waier .'.-..-.'" '1-'t a record of .alLthe materials that iiaW come to his hands since he took the position, lie has a record of where each artfel tised island of each day's, work done by himself and others in the conduct of the system. To be sure these "records are kept in books that are riot well adapted for the keeping of-valuable records, but" he has kept them all right.'" ' ' ' Yon will see by this, Mr. ITayir, that the City is not possessed of a duplicate system, but is dependent on ia punp 'tnd ens cotcr. The nctcT cuy ba "dbatlsd in tha twin!r-

JjL-fe, takes months to get repairs ior.it. The pump that is doing us service is badly in need of overhauling, as it is leaking and - working unsteadihv This statement is submitted to you that you may understand fully the conditions existing in the "Water Works department. It is not satisfactorv to me, and I think not to

any member of the Council as now organized, and some steps will be taken to reuieUv some of the faults as fast as possible. Respectfully submitted, . A. R. Underwood. Chairman Water Works Com. P. S. The report of the Citv Treasurer shows the condition of the finances of tbe Water Works. Many of our people have been led to think that with the "present system," Jhe Water Woiks was able to pay a revenue into the treasury beyond the expenses incurred in maintaining it. However I find that besides its share of the "Funded" indebtedness of the Citv, the Water Works fund is overdrawn on the General Fund to the' amount of $7491.03. With plenty of money repairs and extensions woul l be easy. With this condition known, perhaps citizens will be careful to ask only what is absolutely necessary, until the snarl is untangled. .. - , A, R. Underwood. IilibeSd COMMERCIAL CLUB NEW AD DITION HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BY THE COUNCIL AND ALL IS PJBADY. SHOW AT ORPHEUM Admission of Ten Cents W41 Be Charged To Those Wishing To See the Drawing and Other Entertainment. The city council last night accepted "the two plats of the Commercial Clttb addition on the south side, and the same was filed with the recorder today. " There are two plats one iTreplat of the north part of the addition, which had already been platted; and the other a plat of Outlot 14, which had never been platted at all before.

TIPPECANOE CSUSBllAfiOH:

Citizens of That County . Witt Remember the . 100th Anniversary of Great Indian Battle. The citizens of Tippecanoe rountV i ... . , have planned aa interesting eelebra.1 tion of the ore hundredth anniversary of the- battle of Tippecanoe which occurred between the forces under General William Henry liar- j rison.'and Indians under the leader-' ship of the Phophet, near Lafayette' on the early morning of November J 7th, 1S11. The results of that con-' flict gave shape and direction to the whole subsequent history of the northwest and the event deserves commemoration and appropriate ob servance. The observance of this day will take place on Thursdaj-, Nov. 7 and the fallowing program has bVen ar ranged: t. Exercises at the Battle Ground Beginning at 9 :30 a. m. Parade ! by the Purdue University Corps ' of cadets; Addresses; Assembly I of School Children of the County; ! Sham Battle; Music by Purdue Cadet Band. II. Exercises at Lafayette 8:00 p. m.-Victoria Theatre. Citizens meeting with addresses. Addresses will be giveen during the day by the following persons: Governor Thomas R. Marshall -Governor Chase S. Osborn, of Michigan Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, Governor D. A. R. Hon! Addisoii C. Harris, Indianapolis Hon. Kdsar D. Crumpacker, Valparaiso Hon. Charles E. Jewett, New Albany. Companion Is For Everybody. Of course if you are too young to read, or so old you have forgotten how, you may not enjoy The Youth s Companion. That is rather a sweeping statement, however, for hosts of children love to have the stories and jingles of the Children's Page read to them. There is many a grand father and grandmother whose eyes are dim who like nothing better than to sit and listen to The Companion stories and. articles. Many a blind person, and even those who in addi tion can neither speak nor hear have been cheered by The Companion, its contents havinv been communicated to them through the fingertips of friends, The reading of The Youth 's Companion is a pretty sure cure for all kinds of loneliness. Robinson Crusoe would have been a happier man if he could have had his Com panion Thursdaj as well as his man Friday. Just send for the Pros pectus for 1912 and sample copies of the paper. We think you will agree, when you have read them, that no other paper gives quite so 'much of such a high quality as The Companion, and it costs only $1.75 now for the 52 weekly issues. On January 1, 1912, the subscription price will be ad vanced to $2.00. The new subscriber receives a gift of The Companion's Calendar for 1912. in ten colors and gold, and all the remaining issues of 1911 free from the. time the subscription is received.
