Water board management ot our
Waterworks has so far given water
users little, It anything, they wo-o
j runilced in th6 Way tit lowor rates
nnd better service, but It has one
slgniil achlovomeht to Ha credit the
tin masking ot certain hypocri tes.
The lako reform organs that Wore
so loud with demands when they
knew compliance was out of reach
and to apologetic when the same de
mand wore refused by recreant of
ficials In position to meet them, havo
been thoroughly exposed,
One of thoto' fakers for weoks ran
redink "primers" to impress people
that Omaha was paying for' water
from four to olght tiroes whit mu
nicipal plantn In other cities charge
and tc mhko bellovo Omaha could
and would do tho same the moment
It secured possession of tho. plant.
Dut tlnce the water board took hold
it has been unanimously eating its
words and defending a little 3
cent reduction as moro than anyo'no
had n right to ask. Moro brazen yet,
It hns tho gall to upbraid, tho char
ter convention for writing Into tho
nharter the 25-cont maximum water
rate for which it onco pretonded to
te fighting. ,
Anothor gallery play now oxplodqd
Is the promise of extensions held out
by the water boarders as bait to.' the
credulous. Tho old water company
wus rightly excoriated for not build
in ti needod mains into now territory,
yet although over 11,030,000 in
bonds was voted tor this purjioso, nq
extensions havo been forthcoming
and the mockery ot it all. comes back
upon those who perpetrated tho false
issues.,
The only opott question is' to what
extent ihtelHgont people will let
(linmnolves continue to be fooled by
Iho mendacious hypocrites.
Ex-Members as Lobbyists.
Tho report that as a result of tha
Muihall Confession congress may en
act a law preventing former mem
bers from engaging in the business
of lobbying, doubtless has reference
to a determination to deny the privi
leges of the floor to such former sen
ators and representatives as may bo
come lobbyists, tor that is the most
that congress can do. Of course, it
could not assume to say what occu
pation an QX-mombor might engage
in and probably tho plan contem
plates nothing of that sort. Con
gress owes it to Itself end the publlo
interests, though to take action hat
will stop the shameful, abuses Boma
men havo made ot their privileges
as former members. If such action
will strike a telling Mow ftt the root
of inttdtQH lehfeywg at tha. satlena)
capital, then so much the better. In

. . Cocktails and HKftBails.
Comes how Martin -M. Muihall,
termer chief lawmaker at Washing
ton for the National Association of
Manufacturers, saying ho'saw1 for
mer Congressman James, tJ.-Watson
of Indiana drink six cocktails in one
eYfmlng.
J'A, wicked diabolical lie," declares
Watson, who deniea'the whole ktory
in languago as yigoroua as evor was
denied, tha drinking of a .highball
by anyone ever accused of that hein
ous offonso. Of course, Mr. "Wat
8oh was , talking without equivoca
tion or reservation. Yet even
though it be proved that he drank
a deeea cocklell or whisky sours,

UnadultKftta stuff 6 his doctor's
prescription as a pain killer or even,
a mental or nervous bracer, then ti
i wholly a horse ot another color,
and he may recover damages in
court from his slanderer.
The polioy of our watr boarders
it'ehis to be t? figure out, not how
much they are i warranted in doing
fcr water users, but how little they
can do and have folks believe they
are doing, something. In other
words, although running a water
plant bought by and belonging tottte
people, the water boarder are pro
ceeding just as if it belonged to some
plvate profit-making company.

Little Stones and Ttlks About Advertising
(Copyright, J.913, by Harry. Scherman),
How Restaurants Ought to Advertise
Tho first principle which the good ad-writer follows
is to make his advertising CREATE A DESIRE for what
he is trying to sell. And tho trouble with much adver
tising is fliat it is not calculated to create desire.
A glaring instance (and many such Instances -will be cited la
those talks) is restaurant advertising.
Now and then a restaurant will advertise, but that's abput aa
far as most of them get. They put their names and addresses in
-the paper, and then the proprietor alts around and HOPES - tho
advertising will bo effective. It it la not, he la apt, like usany. peo
ple, td call advertising a bunco game. ,
v
But suppose Instead ot a card ho puts his menu in this paper
every day? Supposo he makes a point of tailing you dally about
something particularly appetlring that Monsieur tho Chef has pre
pared for luncheon?
Or, occasionally let him suggest a lusoious" "plank
steak to you, or something else that piquea tho appetite
and opens wide the salivary gland's AND YOU'LL BE
MUCH MORE LIKELY TO DROIf AEOUNDI '
Especially if ho continues to RdUSE YOUR APPE
TITE THAT WAY every day. '
Very often advertising is. not effective in creating
desire because it is written by the business man himself.
Now abuily principle for a business man to follow is not
to -write his advertising himself. ,
Why? Because, even It ho la a good writer, he Is .generally
to CLOSE to his business. It Is always wise to get a fresh, outside
point of view, td call in an expert ad-wrlter. If you haven't one
on the Job In your business, It will pay you to Institute a bunt for
one. - -
& representative of The Bee will .bo glad to call and give advice
and assistance to Intending advertisers. Phono Tyler 1000.
