If the reports arc true concerning the way the Maple street sewer sys tem is being laid, there is nothing else to do hut to have it dug up and rclaid in a proper manner at the contractor's expense. The proper ty owners affected arc entitled to their full money's worth, and we admire the stand that Socialist Perrinc and other members of the council have taken to sec that they get it. In this proposition there can be no compromise. The credit of the city cannot afford it. The .specifications arc plain enough for n blind man to read, as is also the engineer's duty in regard to it. There is a right way to lay n sewer and there Is also a wrong way. The property owners arc paying for the right way and getting the wrong way. It was only through the kindness of the city engineer insert ing figures after his bid had been read to the council that the present contractor received the contract. In view of this fact he should sec that the city gets the best work possible instead of the worst. 1 William A. linker, of the I.a Stories of Success HENRY SIEGF.L Nnpolcon vim a man of small etnturo, but I10 commanded ar mies, won (Trent victories, and founded an em pire. llcnry-Slo-K 0 1 has won many a business battle com in fin da an army of employes, and rniiKB today an tho Nnpolcon of tho department ntores In Amer ica.
