The Water Question. 
An unwarranted position has been 
taken on this question by the Salem 
Willows Budget complaining of the 
wasting lawns and dying flowers 
and shrubbery at ‘‘The Willows.”’ 
It is lamentable that the open areas 
of lawn and flowers cannot be 
saved but ‘‘The Willows’’ must take 
its loss with patience, good sense 
and philosophy. The problem is se- 
vere enough without. arousing com- 
munity prejudices. The claim that 
the use of the hose is permitted in 
Beverly and forbidden. in Salem is 
true but the: ‘Budget gives the im- 
pression that each owner of. a hose 
is using it at liberty, and without 
restraint. It ‘‘eannot understand 
why the wealthy North Shore resi- 
dents, whom the city fathers evi- 
dently fear to: offend are given a 
water using privilege that we are 
refused. There should be a decided 
uprising against such an mequality 
grant as this. Let’s-have the water 
question treated fairly and_ fear- 
lessly by both Salem and Beverly 
water boards.’’ That there is an ap- 
parent difference of rulings by the 
Salem and Beverly Water boards 
eannot be gainsaid. An appeal to 
the ruling of the Salem board should 
be made in the legitimate channels, 
but this in no wise justifies the at- 
tempt to.arouse a class. feeling. 
As a matter of fact the-Budget 
editor is misinformed as to the priy- 
.- G. E. WILLMONTON .... 
-Attorney and Counsellor at Law- 
ileges of the hose users of the Gar- 
den City, and the attitude of the 
Beverly water board. This is an 
hour in which a journal should use 
its columns to assist and not hinder 
the solving of a problem. that has 
ceased to be serious. It is acute. 
Whether the hose shall be used in 
Salem or not is a question which 
must be settled with the Salem City 
Fathers. 
That the Beverly City Fathers 
‘fear to offend’’ wealthy North 
Shore residents is amusing to those 
who know how hard it has been for 
years to get anything in the line of 
improvements in the very districts 
the Budget thinks the city fathers 
‘‘fear.’’ Beverly has an_ efficient 
system of government but the Shore 
is neglected as every outlying dis- 
tr ict is in any eity and always will 
be. 
A democratic spirit is ecommend- 
able in all but the Budget is wrong 
in its facts and the spirit in which 
the facts are presented. It is not 
improbable that Salem has been 
foreed to make the ruling which it 
has because it takes its water at a 
higher level and will cease to have 
an available supply for its pumps 
much sooner than Beverly will be 
eut off from its supply. As it is the 
Beverly water board has limited the 
use of the hose to an hour a day, 
either at night or in the morning 
between the hours of six and seven, 
and the hose must be held in the 
hand, automatic sprinklers being 
prohibited under a heavy fine with 
a provision ‘‘for shutting the water 
off from the premises of any water 
taker found abusing the privilege.’’ 
The lawns and gardens of the rich 
and poor are suffering. The rains 
fall and are withheld from the poor 
and the rich, the unjust and the 
just. Many a poor man’s garden is 
suffering on the North Shore. On 
one of the estates wells are being 
driven for water and on another 
beautiful shore place the employees 
are filling barrels with brook water 
by hand buckets, the water to be 
used to help save the plantings. 
The North Shore rejoiced with Sa- 
lem Willows when the rains fell. 
The citizens of Beverly do not wish 
any privileges denied to her sister 
city and hopes for equity but the 
North Shore must protest against 
the undemocratic spirit into which 
the Budget was drawn through ig- 
norance of the real facts.

If Governor Eugene Foss contin- 
ues to arouse the enmity of the 
Democratic machine of Boston by 
his differences of opinion and action 
with Mayor Fitzgerald there will be 
an increasing ‘‘chance’’ for the Re- 
publican contestant for the guber- 
natorial honors. 
Mr. Walker’s attack on Senator 
Henry Cabot Lodge has resulted in 
a free and fair statement of the 
Senator’s stand with the President, 
for the Reciprocity Bill. Is Mr. 
Walker playing politics? If he is 
has he attacked to his advantage? 
May it not virtually mean his loss? 
Mr. Frothingham will face as the 
most vigorous opponent Mr. Nor- 
man White. Robert Luce has an- 
nounced his candidacy for the see- 
ond place on the ticket. He an- 
nounces ‘‘if elected I would not 
deem that the office of itself gave 
title to further honors at the hands 
of the voters nor expect that it be 
considered, save as it might bear 
witness to faithful performance to 
duty.’’ The announcement is what 
might be expected from the ardent 
supporter of the campaigns for bet- 
ter nominations and its application 
in State wide primaries. In some 
‘‘quarters’’ his political aspirations 
have not been looked upon with 
favor beeause of his ‘‘radical posi- 
tions’’ so-called. But most of the 
people have been with him in his 
fight for cleaner politics. This prae- 
tically settles the question of Lieu- 
tenant Governor and as there is no 
other candidate in the field, the nom- 
ination will probably follow. This 
will be virtually an election. The 
shrewdness of Mr. Luce’s decision 
is manifest when the possibility of 
Governor Foss’s election is consid- 
ered. Mr. Luce will then be the 
logical candidate to contest the 
Governorship. Kvery day increases 
the faith of the Republican forees 
and the future is far from hopeless.
