SOMEWHAT wATERsoAKEp.

There has been good deal of
dirt thrown at the old sewer in
spector, Kuefner, for the persis-
tency with which he has stuck to
his statements as to the quality of
the material put into the sewers.
AS the proof Of the pudding is in
eating some OF it there is nothing
like good look at the material
itself and an examination of that
does not give that conclusive proof
Of first.class material that is de-
slrable. Where the water has not
touched these brick they remain
firm and uninjured by being put in
to the work, but where the water has
had its action the infiltration of the
moisture is not only plainly percep.
tible, but it disintegrates the ma
terial so that it is easily cut with a
knife and peels of to the depth to
which the moistures penetrates,
just as watersoaked ceiling does.
The samples that have been ex-
amined in the LIGHT office show
this popularity of condition,
whether the others do or not. The
material has considerable grit in it
and might have been all right had
the clay been properly worked and
burned, but as it is now these
brick have the appearance OF be.
ing made out of poorly worked
clay and imperfectly burned. Just
such brick as would make good in
side filling in walls, but not such
as would be put where it would be
exposed to the action of the at
mosphere, particularly to the
softening Of moisture and rain.
There Is no assurance from the
character OF these brick that they
will not crumble out Of shape, and
disintegrating little by little as
the water penetrates them, actual
ly dissolve into a mass of soft clay,
to be in time washed out by the
action Of the sewer streams. At all
events the samples in the LIGHT
office, taken from the sewers, show
where the water has penetrated
and that its action has been very
much the same as that of water
upon a hard plastered wall. It
peels of in layers to the depth
that the water has penetrated.
This is not the material that the
City Of San Antonio wants to con.
struct her sewers with.

more than merely formal act. As
long as he lives he A not cease to be
a public man, whether in parliament

long after he is dead. For more than
sixty years he has been before the Eng

For fifteen years he has represented
Midlothian in the house of commons,

1t is late in the day to discourse
upon the "Unpardonable sin
against the Holy Ghost" 1t would
be more in consonance with the
eternal fitness Of things to discourse
about the objectionable sin against
humanity, particularly that which
has not attained it's growth. The
sins that are committed against
the children Of this country, both
before and after they are born, are
enough to cause the devil to blush
with shame. When to this inhu-
mainly to the little men and wo-
men Of the day, is added that Of our
inhumanity to the docile and do
nestle animals that serve us, it is
certain that a better field
OF practical homiletics is
opened for the preacher
than the imaginative themes
that so often engage attention.
Horses and dogs are terribly Ill
used in this world and the preach
or who would light out on that
theme would be preaching to some
purpose. What would become of
the average man or woman, kid or
baby girl, il the conditions were
reversed in the future and the
horse or dog that they had so
senselessly abused was their mas.
ter for that new stage of existenceI
Mans inhumanity to man makes
countless millions mourn, but
mans inhumanity to the little
children and the animals abou,
the home Is more iphuman still.

st. Louis Republic.
II any one man, ahead of the COM
mon sense Of the whole American
nation, created the Monroe doctrine,
it was Thomas Jefferson.
In 1901 he was emphatic in the re-
iterated declaration that the destiny
Of the United States was separation
from the entanglements of Europe.
He said in 1903 that main object
..must be to exclude all European
influence in this hemisphere In
1920 he wrote: 1.-The day is not
distant when we may formally re-
quire meridian of partition through
the ocean which separates the two
hemispheres."
Canning, then at the head of
English affairs, proposed in Septem-
Der, 1928. to Rush, American minis
ter to the court of St. James. that
the United States and England
should cooperate in preventing the
interference of the holy alliance with
the Spanish-American republics.
When kush reported Canning's plan
TO Washington, Monroe asked Jeffer-
sons advice. The response was:
1.-The question presented by the let
ters you have sent me els the most
momentous which has ever been
offered to my contemplation since
that of independence. That made US
q nation; this sets our compass and
points the course which we are to
steer through the ocean of time
opening on us. Our first
and fundamental maxim should be
never to entangle ourselves in the
broils OF Europe. Our second, never
to suffer Europe to intermeddle with
cis-Atlantic affairs" This was in
October, 1928. December of that
year Monroe's famous message was
sent to congress.
Canning knew the sentiments of
the American people and the opinion
Of American statesmen before be pro-
posed TO Rush that England aud the
United States should join in forbid
ding the encrOachment of European
force upon the independence of any
part of America which had obtained
independence.
During all the eight years of JEFF
ferson's service as chief executive
the most laboriously pursued feature
Of policy was absolute separation
from the entanglements of Europe.
We say laboriously. because it took
ceaseless effort and watchfulness
while the long Napoleonic conflicts
ragged to steer clear of complications
with the combatants. The British
Order in Council, Napoleon's Milan
Decree and our Embargo were all in
cidents of our policy.
The inevitable logic of our entire
separation from European politics
was the separation of Europe from
the politics of this hemisphere. The
Monroe doctrine was created when
our determination to avoid alliances
with Europe was once fixed. We
could not keep out of their affairs
unless they kept out of ours. AND
ours included and still include a pro-
lection of weaker governments whose
overthrow would he a menace to oul
ability to protect ourselves. We Of
fer this protection for our own safe
ty. The obligation does not extend
further.
This Monroe doctrine is Jefferso
Man; it is American; and it goes.
