The Bee has given spare to a letter from one of our subscribers propound ing certain questions as to the pend ing proposal to vote water bonds. As evidence of good faith the writer says he is sending the same communication to all the newspapers, although be doubtless knew he would get diver gent answers, as the Water board and the Water board organs have stead fastly persisted In a policy of misrep resentation and suppression of the true facts. i I. The original water works fran chise gave the city an option to pur chase by the appraiser plan, without paying for any franchise value, at the end of a twenty-year period. The water company has always contended that the franchise runs Indefinitely, subject only to this option and a stip ulated right of the city to regulate rates and make a new) hydrant rental contract after twenty-five years." The city was conceded the right at any time to take the plant by condemna tion procedings. ' II. When we voted the $6,560,000 water bonds in 1909 the Water board Issued over its members' signatures an appeal giving reasons why they should be voted, among them the fol lowing: 4. It is Important that the bonds be voted now that tha Water board may be In posi tion to make Immediate compromise of tha litigation, If this Is possible. I We do not Intend to, nor will we, pay the amount of the award (W,2G3,000) unless compelled to do so by the decree of the supreme court, where tha matter Is now pending. i II If the bonds are voted the judgment can be paid by tha proceeds of the bonds. , Despite this promise, no attempt to compromise was made before the ad verse decision of the supreme court. Naturally, the water company . saw nothing to compromise after It had a valid Judgment for $6,263,295.49. III. The Water board says it will not issue the $3,000,000 bonds voted In 1900 nor the $6,600,000 bonds voted, in 1909 if another $8,250,000 bonds are voted in 1911, but the pres ent proposition does not specifically rescind the previous bond issues. A new Water board would not be bound by the personal pledges of present Water board) members. IV. We have already expressed our opinion. that voting $3,250,000 water bonds now is just as much putting cart before the horse as was voting $6,600,000 water bonds two years ago, because we are still waiting for the decree Informing us just how much we will have to pay. The ostensible eagerness of the Water boarders to bave the bonds voted in order to start Improvements before they bave pos session of the plant strikes us as In sincere, because the water company has had a standing offer for nearly Ave years to build the needed .main on mere agreement for reimbursement. V. The decree of Judge Sanborn, re quires the city to pay $6,263,295.49 an4 interest at 7 per cent from the date of the appraisal, first deducting the net earnings of the water com pany. ' It is from this order that the city bas appealed, which appeal is still pending. If the city.wins, it Will have to pay no interest at ' all, and the $6,600,000 bonds already voted, if marketable, would be ample to pay the bill. If the city loses, it will prei sumably require upward of $7,000,000 to settle, as there are also judgments and accruing interest for hydrant ren tals aggregating $300,000. The board says it wants the extra million for betterments and extensions. VI. If we vote $8,250,000 water bonds and use the proceeds as out lined, the water plant, which we were told could be purchased for $3,000, 000, will cost us $8,350,000. That is to say, the plant will bave to earn in terest, depreciation and sinking fund charges on $8,250,000 Instead of on $3,000,000. This more than doubling of the Interest and. sinking ., fund charge, will have to be taken Into ac count In connection with all the vari ous arguments heretofore used with reference to reduction of water rates, profits of operatioa, free hydrant ren tals and possible need to make up losses by taxes. VII. Member Charles R. Sherman of the Water board In a public inter "lew two weeks ago declared thai the failure to vote the $8,250,000 bonds "would not have any effect In hasten ing or retarding the actual possession of the plant by the city," which waits the outcome of pending litigation. Training- the Child to Observe. There is more than mere fancy in the old philosophy that when you have a child taught to observe and then to think you bave it educated. One thing la eertaln if the chlMrts never taught to observe be will never be well educated, for he will never do much independent thinking. The power of observation dwells within every child's mind, but, like any other faculty. It bas to be "led out." to come to the literal definition of the old Latin's e-duce to educate. And that is a matter that rests more with parents than teachers at school. In the home on the street. In the field, wherever the child and Its parent may be, la the place to begin this elemen tary education. . This would be a good thought for parents who become impatient at In quisitive children. Instead of telling the child to "hush upj' or "don't ask so many questions," the parents should encoursge It to ask more ques tions and try to answer those It asks. Take bold of its power of observation and belp the chill to exercise it. Teach him, first to observe, to notice what he sees and then to think, to ponder upon what he has observed. It Is a necessary tonlo to the young mind that you would like to see de veloped Into discriminating Intelligence. Senator Hoke Smith in the List The most notable fact in the career of Hoke Smith, the new senator from Oeorgla, is that he resigned hie place as secretary of the Interior under President Cleveland in August, 1896, in order to support William J. Bryan for the presidency. He defied the old line democrats there and then and has done so since whenever It seemed to suit him. He is a forceful character and, at 66, still young and vigorous enough to claim a part In the struggle within his party for political prefer ment. It must be remembered that he still stands high with Mr. Bryan, who, only a few months ago, spoke favorably of him as one of the many possible democratic presidential nom inees. That he will now be added to the already rather long list of entries for that race may be accepted as set tled. Hoke Smith is one of the men who have made Oeorgla politics as uncer tain as Tennessee's. He and his polit ical arch rival, Joseph Brown, bave been having a sort of four-year go-as-you-please governorship race. Two years ago Brown beat Smith for re election and v few months ago Smith beat Brown for re-election. But last November Governor Brown bad the privilege of naming former Governor Terrell to serve out the unexpired term of the late Senator Clay and it seemed Smith was in total eclipse. Now comes the state election and Smith defeats Brown; then the legis lature meets and elects Smith to do what Brown- had appointed Terrell to do, and, just aa he Is about to step back into the state house for another two years as governor, Smith is sent to Washington to serve In the senate until March 3, 1915. In the meantime It would scarcely be Smith if he did not shy his castor still further into the arena of national politics and try out his luck for that big plum which the democratic national convention will shake down next spring, or summer. Should Senator Smith enter the race for the presidential nomination, with Governor Harmon already in It, It would make two former members of the Cleveland cabinet In the contest. Harmon, however, never disagreed with Mr. Cleveland over Bryanlsm, but has always disagreed with Bryan. 'Mountain Out of a Mole Hill. The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, writing about the democrats' investigation of the Controller bay land case, says: Tha Controller bay Incident promises, after the dust has cleared away, to go down In history as an attempt to make a moun tain out of a mole hill. The vital question involved Is whether or not tha president and former Secretary of tha Interior Rich ard A. Bellinger gave a monopoly of exit to the sea for a railroad connecting with the rich' 'coal'' mines of southwestern Alaska. No auch monopoly b.as been granted. This correspondent, whose paper was among the powers that from the first opposed Ballinger and have at times criticised the Taft administration se verely, goes , on' to say that there Is nothing to the story that Charles P. Taft interceded with his brother, the president. In behalf of the Guggen helms and that the whole charge of unfair dealing is based on error. This testimony surely cannot be regarded as biased. But what effect will this and other equally relevant testimony nave upon those who are seeking to make polit ical capital out of this case at the expense of the administration? One thing is certain if the democrats go very far with their scheme it Is likely to react with serious results upon them. . The president, after conferring with his cabinet officers, bag directed that everything bearing on the Con troller bay case be turned over to the Investigators and that all possible as sistance be accorded them in any ef fort they bit make to get at facts, for it is facts only the public wants. It looks as if tha democrats had driven their ducks to the wrong mar ket this time.

Norris' Big Bomb ( onarraaraaa'a Kapoaare of Ike White lloaa Pabllrlty Bnrenn and the Allrneri Conspiracy. Washington letter In Boston Transcript. Since the publication by Representative George W. Norris of Nebraska of a letter written by him to the Rrepubllcan Pro gressive league of his state, charging tha White House, or tha White House "press bureau," with laauing falsa political state ments, newspaper men have been curious to learn the facts. If any, upon which Mr. Norris bases hla charges. These charges are directed more against the local than the general press, but they are sufficiently broad to Indicate that many newspaper correspondents are acting In lino with some suggestions from Cherlea D. HlUes, secretary to President Taft, and misrep resenting the circumstances of the candi dacy of Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin for the presidential nomination. The first charge of Mr. Norris is that "a systematic and dally publication of mis representations and false reports regarding the course taken by leading progressive re publicans in congress have earmarks that indicate that they originated In tha White House." Thla la a reference to a story published some weeks ago that eer taln leading progressive senators would not work for La Follette delegations la their states and thus, Inferentially, and te that extent, would support President Taft for renomlnation. The original story, which was accurately stated by the correspondents first receiving It presented tha axact facts in the case. It waa obtained at the capitol and not at the White House,' which had no more to do With It tlianvMr. Norris bad. It was based on the knowledge that several pro gressive republicans had declined to sign a paper advocating the nomination of Mr. La Follette tor the presidency and It con veyed the Information that these gentle men, while sympathising with the La Fol lette movement and being personally op posed to President Taft, yet believed that the La Follette candidacy would be futile and therefore were not Inclined to en courage It In their own states. It waa dis tinctly stated that the progressives named were not enthusiastic for or even friendly to President Taft but that they regarded his renomlnation as Inevitable and thought It wiser politics to send a solid Taft, dele gatlon from their own communities. This was the substance of the original story, but the inside facts were known to only a comparatively few writers and aa the tale traveled it finally was distorted into a statement, In some papers, that the progressives bad "deserted" Mr. La Fol lette and that he was so depressed by ths desertion that he contemplated going over to the democratlo. party. This distortion of a few simple facts Mr. Norris and other progressives are justly entitled to condemn, but it Is a mistake, arising from a mis understanding equally unfortunate, to charge the misrepresentation to tha White House or any one representing it. Another Incident referred to by Hepresen. tative Norris Is the pumicatlon In Wash ington of an lntervew wth Fraakln A. Shotwell, secretary of the Republican Pro gressive League of Nebraska, In which that gentleman declared for tha renomlna.. tlon of President Taft. From the tone of Mr. Norris' letter ir might be Inferred that he also charges this utterance aaralnat tha White House press bureae, although ha did not say so. The facts are that Mr. Shotwell was Introduced to President Taft by Senator Norris Brown. On imiHnr tha White House offices ha was approached by the newspaper men, as all visitors of any distinction ' are, but Bald practically noth ing "worth a story." Tha Whlta Houaa bulletin presented a simple fact, without comment, that Secretary Shotwell had vis ited the president in company with Sena tor Brown. Later, at his hotel, Mr. Shot well was Interviewed by a reporter for a Washington paper, and speaking for him self only, declared enthusiastically for the renomlnation of the president This Inter view. It Is understood, was not s-lven hv him aa secretary of the league or Intended to represent the views of Its members. The Washington paper later declined to print a telegram to Mr. Norris from the leazun setting forth different views than those entertained by Mr. Shotwell and attempt ing to correct whatever Impression Mr. Shotwell may have given, if any, that the Republican Progressive League of Ne braska favored the renomlnation of Presi dent Taft Whether or not thla caoer imert good professional judgment In declining to puDiisn tne matter requested, the Shotwell story did not emanate from the White Houoae and the offending newsDaner la democratlo sheet Newspaper men lnstlnctlvalv rii.tm.t presa Bureaus and. among themselves, have Indulged In aome comment over the press oureau system which has been established in several of the departments this wholly aside from the merits of tha nrasa bur.ni product The White House press bureau. If it may be aigmried by such a name, was established in response to a legitimate de mand of the correspondents for prompt and early information as to the routine transac tions of the president's office. While as sistant secretary of the treasury, Mr. H tiles made hla office noteworthy among the newaigatherers by his courtesy and fore sight In preparing and issuing erfrly in the day bulletins stating concisely the concrete news of the hour. Often these were were tips," starting with which the corres pondent was enabled, after maklnv Inquiries of one or more officials, to send nis paper an interesting - or important story. Thla method has been followed by Mr. HUles slnoe be became secretary to the president and has brought excellent results. Mr. HUles Is assisted In the preparation of these bulletins and the giving out of routine news by Gus J. Karger, correspondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star, who is not only a first-class newspaper man, but Is excep tionally popular In the press gallery and a man of unusual tact But neither Mr. HUles nor Mr. Karger has made the mis take of using the press bureau to head oft the publication of news by requiring that no Information should ba given out except through tha presa agency and questions are answered as freely as If no press ser vice existed. In tha days of Fred W. Car penter, the correspondents got no news at all at the White House except of the most wooden character. Secretary Norton talked more freely, and Secretary HUles has gone him one better by issuing typewritten sheets, and thus saving ths time of him self and everybody else.

No better evidence can be given aa to the success of the business Bide of Presi dent Taft's administration than the an nouncement that fur the first year since 1 ItVf the Vntted States treasury has a sur plus. In the last fiscal year approximate! I700.OPO.000 was collected, Including 3S,000.000 from the corporation tax. The gross sur plus Is said to be t4K.Oie.000 and the net surplus la about 131,000,000. The estimates of receipts and expenses were prepared so carefully that the actual receipts from all sources were only tlO.000,000 more than ex pected, while the actual expenditures were K.000,000 less than expected. The closeness with which the estimates were prepared shows clearly how well President Taft has Impressed upon his subordinates the necessity for estimating accurately. The old method was for the head of a bureau to give a guess and then add a few millions, while congress, know ing the departmental method, gave another guess and slashed off a few millions. The guess made on each side made an element of chance to the appropriations that may have added to the Interest of the proceed ings, but certainly detracted from effi ciency and economy. With the president's reform In effect at the present time, the work of congress In the future will be simplified. Appropriation committees can accept It as a fact that the department chiefs have pared" down their estimates to the very bone. Not only Is economy effected scientifically at the out set, but the valuable time of congress la saved simultaneously. The else of the corporation tax receipts Is an evidence that business is booming. The tax Is dependent on the amount of earnings and It Is clear, therefore, that the earnings UiXMsLUl IMIW- VP f! n 111 w Only the woman who has tried knows ; what comfort and relief a New Perfection?.'
