Thursday mgbt an unusually
lafge a« well as thoroughly repre-
sentative meeting of citisens and
texpayers was held at the city hall,
the purpose ot the meeting being
that of_ diseasing and providing
ways and means tor the establish-
ment of a municipal water plan*,
and, also that of securing an ade-
quate supply of water fer all put-
poses.
P. H. Tobin was chosen chair-
man and Mr. (Jrimsbaw, city editor
of the Herald, was chosen secretary.
On motion ol N. H. L. Decker it
was unanimously resolved that the
time was now npe for Denison in
its municipal capacity to secure an
adequate supply of merchantable
water for ail purposes and to estab-
lish and maintain a water plant tor
the'" distribution and sale ot the
water.
Capt. E. J Smith moved that the
chair appoint four committees, one
on ways and means, one on legisla-
tion, one to secure estimates of costs
and one on source of supply and
suitable lecation ot p;ant. This
motion received at least half a bun
dred seconds and the door was open
ed for discussion. Mr. Decker
gave a brief history ot the contro-
versy between thi water company
and the city council during his.
Decker’s, term as alderman. He
counciled fairness with the company
but his judgment was that the onlv
solution of the water problem w«>
tor Denison to get into the business
and not stop until a municipal plant
has been established and that too
with a capacity to serve all who may
come.
W. B. Munson responded to
heaity cills. He stated that be was
so anchored in Den son that it was
impossible tor him to leave the city
even it he so desired. He had ever
been and was now heartily in favor
of every move taking to the advance-
ment and upbuilding ot the city.
Water was and is a prime and tun-
damental necessity and the local
I situation was such that apparently
municipal ownership was the only
solution. He doubted if the time
was ripe, however, for the immedi-
ate building of a plant. The prices
| of material and labor were abnortn-
! ally high. It was a stupendous un-
i dertaking, requiring the outlay of
| $200,000 to $300,000 and the city
) could not afford to make a mistake.
In short, Mr. Munson counciled
prudent and conservative action, but
such action was necessary and now
was an opportune time to begin.-
Dr. A. W. Acheson was cglled
out and he made probably the
strongest speech of the evening. "Re
was not in favor of any further cle-
lay. High wages and high prices
suited him exactly, the higher the
better. In his judgment the prob-
lem of a source ot supply had been
solved. Hundreds and thousands of
millions of gallons were at our door,
within easy tnking distance. If
Denison did not act and act prompt-
ly the necessity lor action would
soon pass. Water was just as es
sential to a city as to a farmer m the
growing of his crops. He was glad
to see so much interest m the mxt
ter and hoped that there would be
no cessation until the problem bad
been fully and thoroughly solved.
He-w«s frequently and generously
applauded.
Judge W. M. Peck was in the
hail and the crowd called and kept
calling until he appeared on the
speaker’s stand. Judge Peck’s re-
marks were timely and opportune.
We had been moving slowly; in
fact, had \iot moved at all. The
matter had been delayed long
enough. He was heartily in favor
of the movement. Denison is
able to do the work. Municipal
ownership was the order of the day.
In his opinion the motion to ap-
point committees should prevail and
the movement should |not stop until
the work bad been fully and thor-
oughly dompletcd.
Aldermen Halton and Butler
made short addresses. Mr. Halton
gave a short sketch of the investiga-
tion ot a committee of th> council
who had been investigating n source
of supply. He, together with Mr.
Butler was heart and spul in favor
of the movement. Engineer Rha*my,
Mayor Kennedy and W. S. Pearson
favored the meeting with brief ad-
dresses. All tavored municipal
ownership and each was earnest in
aesire that the work begin and pro
ceed along the lines ot intelligence
as well at conservatism. In making
the motion Capt. Smith gave quite
an sriay of facts and figures ■» re-
ference to the legal as well as finan-
cial ability of the city to provide,

There waa a joint session ot (be
city council* ot Sherman and Deni
ton at ibe Sherman city hall Mon-
day night and a mojortty of both
bodies including the mayor* and
ctly attorney* of both participated.
The peraonnel of the Denison
party waa: Mayor S. C. Kinnedy,
City Attorney Erwin J. Smith and
Aldei men B. J. Lindsay, J. T. But-
ler, J. A. Jennings, L. S. Cox,
E. E Davit, W. H. Hilton and
John Suggs.
At the ciote ot the call of routine
business Mayor Fielder notified the
Sherman board of the pretence of
• he visitor* and invited the Deniaon
< fficials to take Ibe dea a of the borne
hoard wbo retired to chair* iaaide
railings.
Call* for Mayor Kennedy, which
was liberally taken up by citizens at
well as officials called bim to bis
teet, but be at once asked that City
Attorney Smith state the occasion
ot the matt.
The city attorney of Deniaon,
personally, professionally and poli-
tically popular in Sherman, was
the focus ot a demonstration surpns
i g to even a man who knew he was
among hit friends’.
Ii was the expressed feeling of
the speaker and of ever tnan there
that the imaginary line of a differ
ecce in municipal interests ot Ibe
twin citirs was wiped out forever.
Mr. Smith in epitome said that the
discussion of the franchise n quire
ments against railways and ethers
occupyii g streets in the matter of
paving had been instructive anc
interesting to himself and associates
in the Denison city government
He spoke of tbe ripening of tbe
hour for a concert and unity of pro-
cedure on tbe part of the two cities
in municipal advancement and
pledged bis own and ;he effjrtoi
every Denison official to maintain
ib*t unity.
He referred to% the report of the
city's public works department
which showed such a handsome
excess ot revenues over expenditures
snd stid that Denison, now con
templating the ownership of it*
water and street light plants, asked
f r data and facts that it might pro-
fit by the examp’e set by Sherman.
City Clerk Zimmerman, Supl.
Tolson and City Attorney Maxey
responded respectively with a com
prehen*ive outline of the record*,
practical operation and legal status
of Sherman’s municipal properties.
City Attorney Maxey in replying
'o Mr. Smith tendered to the cily
council of Denison ha* setvice* and
echoed tbe spirit of unity.
Mavor Kennedy of Denison reit-
erated the pledge lor the govern-
ment and people of his city and
Mayor Fielder placed at the dia-
j poal oi Demson all the records and
j the service* of every department of
j the city of Sherman.
Thus in a love feast, a* it were,
was the dawn of the day of ad
; vancement in which the sis'er
Cities agree to share and share alike
the good ot the other.

PROTECT THE OHILDREH.
The Houston Chronicle is making
a praiseworthy fight in behali ot the
overworked children. The follow-
ing paragraphs are taken from a re-
cent editorial. Tne sentiment ex-
pressed ought to find a ready re-
response from every sympathetic
man or woman in Texas:
• If tbe lactories wtre operated at
the expense of thousands of lives of
adults every year a protest and cry
would go up all over the land, yet
they are operated at tbe expense ot
the health of tens of thousands ot
children, who with pale cheeks, hol-
low chests, listless eyes and bent
shoulders and permanently impaired
constitutions are stunted and dwarf-
ed every year in tbe factories both
north and south, and are given
neither mental nor moral training,
and to all intents are ground up and
converte 1 into dividends, yet until
recently the public looked on the
sacrifice with ind tference.
Tbe state or Georgia has taken a
long step torward in the passage ot
an anti-cbild laDor law, and already
the factories are preparing schools
tor tbe mental and industrial train-
ing ot children . under the age at
which they are permitted to work.
The legislature of Texas should
without fail pass the same character
of law, and make it to rigid and the
penalties to severe that no individ-
ual will dare to put to work in any
factory any child under 14 years of
age. Texas hat no young lives to
sacrifice on the altar of heartless
greed. _
Notwithstanding the numerous
and vigorous protests that have gone
to the president because ot bis action
in discharging the negro troops of
the Twenty-fifth regiment, because
of the violence and murders com-
mitted while stationed at Browns-
ville, he stands pat, refuting to mod-
ify the action taken, or suspend tbe
order unless evidence it presented
showing the tacts at presented to
him are false.
$1,256013 31 ! In • lengthy srticle reviewing the
various decisions ot the courts on
the general provision* of the local
option law State Senator Looney
sums up si follows-
lo * nutshell, the court holds that
all tbe legislature can do (which it
has already done) it to prombit tbe
sale of intoxicating 1 quors in local
option territory ; that those kindred
crimes and evas on., the devices and
shams by which tbe sale it accom-
plished, cannot be prohibited, such
as gilts, exchanges, cold stoiages,
blind tigers illegal prescriptions, c.
o. d. shipments and soliciting orders
in local option territory.
Tbe courts also hold that when
the,local option law is put in oper-
ation, it abrogates all laws inconsis-
tent with the local option law. As
for example that applying to the
selling of intoxicants to minors.
Senator Looney says the only
remedy is an amendment to the
state constitution.
