Tho mesBngo Is tho first of a
aorioB of such communications
which ho will mako to Congress In
tho early days of tho session, nnd
deals entirely with tho forolgn ro-
woro classmates and close frlonds.
tlioro Is n vast difference In tholrjlatlona of tho United Statos, bogin-
by tho people.
Commuiinl co-operntlon nnd tho common good triumphed ovor In
dlvldunl exploitation nnd prlvnto greed. Tho peoplo hnvo determin
ed to do Bomothlng for thoniBolvca and tholr expression wns so om
phatlc that It cannot bo questioned or quibbled with.
Any movement calculated to lmprovo tho living conditions In
nny community Is tho moat important which this or nny other city
line to deal. All othor questions nro necessarily sccondnry. Who
thor or not certain Individuals will bo monetarily benefitted or In
jured should hnvo no weight In arriving nt n decision,
Tho peoplo of Mnrahflold by tholr votes yoBtordny proved tholr
cnpnclty nnd compotency for solf-govornmont. Thoy proved tholr In
telligent understanding of conditions and tho nblllty to glvo expros
hIou to their vIowb. Thoy voted for principles Instead of porsons.
Complimentary ns It may bo to tho successful cnndldntcs Individually
their triumph represents n victory for prlnclplo rather than person.
Tlmo wbb when tho ndvocnto of munlclplo ownership was looked
upon aa n hnro-brnlucd fanatic. Nevertheless after montlm nnd
yenrfl of weary nnd futllo waiting for Improvement of conditions
thnt nro Intolerable tho peoplo nf Mnrahflold nwnkoncd. Thon mon
who woro known to bo opposed to municipal ownership dlscovorod
thnt tlioro might bo something In It. Suddenly they beenmo moved
with n chnngo of heart nnd lost no tlmo to go on vorlml record ns
being ntllllated with "tho peoplo." To bo nn advocato of tho "Bquaro
deal for tho peoplo" quickly becamo the popular thing with mon
who woro moro devoted to politics thnn to principle. Hy tholr noire
nnd much protesting you can generally know tho protending vnrloty.
And nono despises tho protonder moro thnn tho people when thoy
find him out.
Ycatordny's election proves tho futility of trying to opposo nnd
thwart the wIsIiob of n community where tho will of tho pooplo In
tho ultlmato will rulo. Such opposition In merely tho damning of tho
river of public opinion which bolng dammed, will presently sweep
away nil barriers ns It did In yesterday's election.
Tho ladles, too, contributed their full shnro to the magnificent
victory. Tho reoutt tolls thnt. Thoy proved tholr ability to voto In
telligently and undorstnndlngly. It wna a question that ontored di
rectly Into tholr homes nnd tholr liven nnd ono on wliloh thoy hnd
tho right to oxorclBo tholr Judgment nnd thoy did It wisely nnd well.
Tho mon who nro oxchnnglng follcltntloiis on tho nutcomo of tho enm
pnlgn, inuat not forgot the Indlos when passing bouquotB. Thoy nro
entitled to tho lnrgest and moBt fragrant for their splendid aBslat
anco in yestordny'B good work.
No city rnn afford to take chnuccrt with doubtful wntor nnd an
Inadequate sorvlco. Mnrshfloid cannot contlnuo to develop nnd grow
nnd do tilings unless It innkes sure thnt It Is In ovory way a whole
some plnco to llvo. It miiBt bo n Cortnlntyvlllo as to health aa well
as to business opportunity.
The roault is n tribute to Wlnklor and Albrecht, but It Is n still
greater trlbuto to tho principles on which thoy stand. Tholr election
brings with It a grent nnd gravo roBpoiiBlblllty nnd n duty to tho
pooplo which thoy must moot, rccognlzo nnd nionsnro up to. Thoy
havo u duty to porforni that will reqtilro tholr beat Judgment, tenac
ity of purpoBo nnd a loyalty nnd dovotlon to tholr community nnd
tholr follow citizens thnt will not permit of nny wnvorlng or tempor

cnpnclty to provo worthy of tho confldonco and honor which has boon

Any solution of tho porploxlng water problem must rofloct thft

It ennnot bo Ignored. Tho TIiiicb bollovos theso mon enn bo dopond
