If the present city administration goes forward and estab lishes public ownership of water, it will have accomplished the biggest thing ever done for the city of Salem. Nothing has ever been accomplished giving the city municipal control of any public utility. Mayor Lachmund deserves a great deal of credit for taking a firm stand in favor of the city owning the water plant. The mayor has stated that if there had been a tie vote on the ordinance buying the property he would have cast his vote in favor of purchasing the plant, without the least hesitation. This proves again that Mayor Lachmond is a man of convic tions, that he will not shirk any reasonable responsibility. As chairman of the water board, he will have a great deal to do in carrying the purchasing ordinance into effect. The mayor of the Capital City will ever , have accomplished a greater progressive step for progress than that of public owner ship and control of the city's water supply. As was pointed out by several prominent business men in in terviews in this paper, it means that Salem will have pure water, lower rates and lower taxes. It means that mains will be extended uniformly to all parts of the city. It is to be regretted that a year has been lost in bringing about public ownership of the water plant. A far better contract could have been secured a year ago for supplying the state institutions than can be obtained now. The last legislature made some large appropriations for im proving the water supply at the state institutions. If the citizens had acted promptly on this matter, all that money could have been utilized for development of a mountain water plant. The fact still remains that the city and state institutions should have an adequate supply of pure water from a gravity system. Whether this can be accomplished remains for the water board to consider. i With possibly a thousand new water consumers the present plant could, inside of a year, be made a veritable money-making machine, from which the city can derive large revenues. The city can have from two to three thousand customers pay ing their water rents into the city treasury every month, and this means a revenue of from $75,000 to $i00,000 for the city. Is not that, a desirable condition of things for any city to look forward to? We belieye that every business man and property owner will take this view of the matter when he fully investigates the sit uation. It is to be regretted that a year has been lost in establishing this condition, and it is to be hoped that there will be no further delay in getting the water plantinto operation under municipal ownership. WILL CONTEST REDUCTION OF HIS BILLS That State Printer Dunlway In tends to contest the authority of Sec retary of State Olcott to reduce his bill for printing the bills, resolutions and memorials for the last legislature to the extent of 17 per cent, became evident 'trday. when Superintendent Plimpton, who is in charge of the of fice during Dunlway's absence in California, advised the secretary of state that he would not receipt the voucher In the regular ftnrm. The regular voucher, says the sec retary of state, does not cause any claimant to waive any right of re course to the legislature, but pro vides that he shall have such re course. Superintendent Plimpton evidently, however, desires to take the precaution of guarding his rights In every respect, and, upon the ad vice of his attorney, has prepared a specially drawn receipt for the sec retary of state, and he will accept it. o RETORT SAYS CHINESE REBELLION IS CRUSHED UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE.

Because the last legislature, in Its eagerness to supply members with an abundance of copies of Lord's Oregon Laws, at the expense of the state, nt only passed a resolution and law on the subject, but also annuled tire old law, prlvldlng that Justices of the peace should be provided with copies of the state's law free, George W. Hubbard, justice of the peace for the Sllverton district, has resigned, and Judge Daniel Webster, justice of peace for the Salem district, and Judge Jphn Brentano, justice of the peac efod the Champoeg district, have petitioned the county court ask ing it to supply them with the state's code, at the county's expense. Members Get Two Copies. The two houses of the legislature had but bareiy convened when a res olution was rushed through both pro viding that each member should be provided with a copy of Lord's Ore gon Laws. The house went the sen ate one better, preseating a resolu tion that its members should be pro vided, in addition to the codo, with a digest f the state's laws, and, though the members had about as much use for it as a native of Sena gambia has for a copy of Shakes peare, It was passed. Later in the session, evidently to make assurance doubly sure, both houses passed a law providing that each member should be provided with a code, giving to each member two copies of Lord's Oregon Laws. That law provided that certain coun ty officers should also be provided with ooples, but eliminated justices of the peace, and annuled a law pro viding that they should have copies of the state laws free. Justices Suffer. The two justices, In their petition to the court, sr that the office of Justice of the peace is not a lucrative position, and they do not feel like buying the code; that It Is expensive and that it to the duty of the state to supply them. Host of them are lo cated in, districts far distant from attorneys, and they are unable to avail themselves of any law books in the administration of the law. County Clerk Allen says there is no law authorizing the county court to supply the justices of the peace with the state codie, and is unable to say just what disposition will be made of the petition.

I could not eat anything without the most awful distress. Did not even dare to drink water before I went to bed at night. If I did, I would awake in the night with such dreadful agonies I would be unable to sleep for hours. I tried about everything my friends, Including the doctors, rec ommended, but without much relief. "Then I resorted to Hood's Sarsa parllla, and the first relief I noticed was that I did not have that awful distress In the night. I kept on tak ing this medicine until In a little time I was entirely cured. Today I am a well person, and thankful for the won derful benefit Hood's Sarsaparilla has been to. me. I recommend It to all." Mrs. H. L. Jordan, 167 North Willard St., Burlington, Vt. There Is no real substitute for Hood's Sarsaparilla.
