No one knows better tlinn the
fnrnier how 11 wife stands side by
side with Iter husband and helps
him to earn ami earn' on the farm
If he dies, he leaves it without fenr
in her hands. Hut lie leaves it
thenceforth unprotected by n free
man's vote. No assessor, no sti
pervisor, no legislator need fenr
mat tue owner 01 tins inrm can
call him to account at the polls for
any injustice or neglect of this wo
man's interests. Her name on any
petition will count little as against
the voters, or the pull of some one
with votes behind him. Are you
willing to deny your widowed
neighbor the protection you think
so necessary to yourself?
t
"Miss Iloiinif Hiirr," probably a
fictitious character or Indy reporter,
who is operating a rather novel ad
vertising camimigii for one of the
Portland dallies, is giving that pn
pur a fully accepted opportunity to
use up space and keep interest ugog
among (lie unsophisticated. It is a
.scheme similar to the " Rallies'
proposition of a year or two ago
It probably is a paying prooutioii
or H would not have been repeutei
It is also said to give the mashers
of that city an opportunity they
have long been looking for. There
is an ordinance in Portland string
ently enforced which forbids would
be mashers from accosting strange
fumalctt. During "Itoiinic Purr's"
regime all that is necessary to get
acquainted is to use the proscribed
introductory lemarks. The vanity
of the susceptible young woman is
instantly aroused and a friendly
feeling engendered at being mista
ken for (lie much sought "Hoiinie
liurr.'"aud the ice is tints broken
inn milliner most gratifying to the
ever alert masher. "Miss Purr"
will probably be "caught" whin
the list of high cluxs ndvcrttM rs has
become exhausted. The scheme 1
legitimate, but does it my, after all?
Tlie water rate problem has
about reached a climax. The city
council has shown a disposition to
have the rate lowered if it is at .ill
possible for them to do so If the
law is a good and viiile one upon
which tliuy linve Ixiaeil their uti.n
in attempting to force lower rati
it will Ik up to the couip iuv
prove thflt the present rates sir n
uxorbiintil, or tliul the nibs pro
soiibtnl by council U a reduction too
sweeping. While in 110 wise mil
citiing the action of the city council
yet we believe the true solution
the whole pioblem in for the cit
purchase the water works. It the
company is realizing the enormous
profits some jteoplt; imagine, why
would it not piove 11 paying inveht
iiiunt? The comiNiuy is compcllc
to imy eight iter cent Interest oil
horiowud cupital, while the city
could get it for five or six per cunt
St. Johns need not worry sbo.it the
priucliwl nor make any provision
for it, since it is foregone conclu
sion Hint I'oriiaml will siorl us
long before 25-ycr bonds would Ik-
eoiut due. This umy Ik 11 el(ikh
view, but is logical, nevertheless
Wu believe that the water couiwiiy
would not lie adverse to selling to
the city, provided n satisfactory
prlct l offertd. Why not buy nml
make the wnlcr rates equal cottl of
