Thr Rev. DR.. Houghton, of New Haven,
Conn.,. a few Sundays ago preached on the
murder of Rose Amber and boldly pro-
claimed William Lewis, the man who has
been suspected, guilty of the crime. Last
Sunday he repeated the performance before
great crowd. The coroner's jury, which
has spent some weeks listening to the testi-
mony, has been unable to do more than
find that there is reason to suspect Lewis
but Mr.. Houghton, who has seen none of
the evidence except what appeared in the
newspapers, does not hesitate to pronounce
Lewis guilty and denounce him publicly as
murderer If the purpose of Mr.. Hough-
toms performance was to fill up his church
1t succeeded, and he can accomplish the
same result an indefinite number of ii mes
by similar performances. Mr.. Houghton
declares that he does no. care what the
newspapers say about him and this is un-
doubleday true, for minister who will com.
NIT the indecency of proclaiming from his
pulpit that man is guilty of murder, when
evidence enough against him has not been
obtained 20 justify his arrest even, probably
does not care what anybody says about him.
Some of Mr.. Talmage's methods of crowd
Ing his church are not very reputable, but
we believe he has never been guilty of any,
thing quite so indecent as DIR. Houghton's
performance.

In the case of the suits against Archbish-
op Purcell the Ohio Supreme Court seems
t. have decided in substance that the legal
title of church structures is in the persons
or societies which contribute the money to
build them. The fact that .all Catholic
structures in diocese are held in fee SIM
pie by the Archbishop was looked upon SIM
ply as the result of a rule of the Catholic
church and was not deemed to alter the
title which was held to rest with those who
paid the money. Under this decision church
es built by general contributions can not be
held for the Archbishop's personal debts
while churches built directly by the Arch
bishop may. The decision seems to be
equitable and founded on common sense.
OF course the creditors of the Archbishop
would have Jared better if it had been de-
cided that all property held in the Archbish-
ops name was really his property and there
fore answerable for his debts.

The Ohio Brewers and Liquor Dealers
Association has undertaken to bulldoze the
farmers by advising brewers to defer their
purchases of grain until after election so as
to punish farmers who vote for prohibition,
by refusing to purchase their grain. Such
tactics, though they may affect few timid
farmers, are likely to drive away more votes
than they secure. Bulldozing, no matter
what form it lakes, is not popular at the

A Record of Incompetence.

At last we have the report ON the cost of
the Chestnut street schoolhouse job, and it
exceeds all previous estimates. The figures
are as follows:
Original approximation s47oo
First additional appropriation from
Second additional appropriation (from
contingent fund.-, 500
Total cost. $40, 800
The history of the business is briefly as
follows: The sum of $4,70O was appropri-
ated for repairing this schoohouse. Plans
were made and proposals advertised for, ac-
cording to law. The aggregate of the low
est acceptable bids for the different kinds of
work was 1920. Contracts with entirely
responsible parties could have been made
for all the work except the heating apparatus
for that sum. The architect carefully ex-
amned the bids, aud gave his opinion that
they were as low as the work could be done
for. The Mayor rejected the bids, and de-
clared his purpose to 60 on and do the job
by the day, without being authorized to do
SO, aud in violation of the city ordinances.
A membe, of the committee protested, and
Insisted that repors should first be made to
the city council as the ordinances required.
a special meeting was then called, at who
Mr.. Prince stated tliat he believed the
work could be done for the amount appropri-
ated or very near that sum-" On the strength
OF this assira ce the committee was author
lied TO proceed, and Mr. Prince took charge
OF HE work. In little more than a month
he came to The city council asking for $4,000
In addition to the appropriation, which was
given. He acknowledged that this sam
would not complete the job; but neyertbe-
lesshe went on and finished it, and now lie
presents bill of So, 100 which was expended
before II was appropriated in defiance of
city ordinances. The job which he assured
the city courcil could be done, if he were
allowed to do it in bis own way, for S4,700,
has cost $l2, 300 which is $1,000 more than
the appropriation, and 81 800 more than re-
sponsibe parties offered 10 do it for. The
lasl sum, less what the heating apparatus
cost, perhaps $1,000, represents the city's
ss. Such management of public business
condemns those who are responsible for it as
incompetent and culpable.
