At every move Of Madeline Pol
lard there Is a hue and cry Of the
press. This little woman, who was
certainly as much sinned against
as SHINING, has only commended
herself to a wise reticence on the
part Of the critics by her singular
retirement from public notice and
her determination, manifest in
deeds, not words, to make no ap-
peal to the public, but to depend
on her own unaided resources. By
her wise and womanly self-respect-
ing she has disarmed all honest
criticism and fronted herself to her
future in the only way to show that
she was not merely the creature OF
low passion. This present life Of
herS is confirmation strong Of the
truth OF her allegations against hel
seducer.

1t is not the clean sweep Of the
terrible wickedness" that Is OBJ.
jected to, on the ground that q
wicked city draws trade, as is as
serted by some pseudo essayists.
1t is the fact that such wickedness
is so closely in line with the pas.
sions Of humanity that no clean
sweep is possible, that leads prac-
tical men to decry all attempts to
prohibit in toto, because these only
end in removing a restriction that
is practicable, thus abolishing re-
straint and leaving unrestrained
the vices Of those inclined thereto.
All wise legislation deals only with
the possible, and positive and gen.
eral prohibition is found upon ex-
pertinent to be impossible. 1t is
this one fact that determines the
great body OF the moralists OF this
day to decide in favor of license as
against prohibition. 1t is we'll to
remember that "by their fruits We
shall know them" and the fruits Of
license have in almost all cases
been shown more excellent than
those OF the prohibition school
The imputation that those who
plead for license are pleading for
their own indulgence is not worth
serious consideration.

THAT SEWER CONTRACT.

haste slowly. This aphorism might
| we'll apply to the letting of the
prtsent sewer contract, which on
the surface of things seems to have
been put through the City Council
regardless OF the plain provisions
of the charter. That instrument,
which is in effect the constitution
under which the City Legislature
acts, expressly declares that:
"All bonds shall specify for what
purpose they were issued, and
shall not be sold for less than their
par value; Provided, that no debt
shall be contracted, for tho pay
ment whereof such bonds are is
sued, until such bonds shall have
been disposed Of and the proceeds
thereof paid into the city treas
ury."
II this language means what it
says, then the city cannot let con-
tract for the construction Of sewers
beyond the amount of the bonds
actually sold, and the proceeds of
which sale have been conveyed in
to the city treasury. This was the
opinion OF the city attorney, as
given In council. That it was also
the opinion of the late mayor, the
Hon. Geo. Paschal, is we'll known,
and it Is an opinion concurred in
by several Of the best legal author
tiles in the city, among them the
late Judge King, Mainwarring and
others, not to name men on the
bench whom it would not be courte-
Gus to bring into this controversy.
This fact leaves this contract at the
mercy of the citizen taxpayer who
may incline to sue out an in
junction restraining the city
and the contractor from execut-
ing their contract. When the
LIGHT urged that no unnecessary
delay attach to the letting Of those
sewers it did not contemplate rid
ing over the ordinances Of the city
in order to effect it. The primary
reason Of such urging was that the
unemployed might find immediate
work, but the interests OF the labor
Of the city seem to have been dis
regarded by the council in its &C
ton, for the contract does not
specify any restrictions as to the
hours Of labor or the price that
should be paid, although several Of
the contracting parties were ready
to incorporate that provision in
their instruments. 1t will be re-
membered that one Of the contract
ors, as soon as the opinion Of the
City Attorney had been read, q uali-
fed his readiness to commence
work and made his couI Sc depend
upon the opinion Of his legal ad-
wiser. This fact Is suggestive
and opens the door still wider
to enquiry, for II as careful
a man as A.C. Schryver would not
agree to proceed save under the
advice Of his legal director, it may
we'll be questioned IL the City
Council has not acted hastily in
signing contract for 1924, POO
more than sewer bonds have been
sold for and conveyed into the
treasury, in contravention of the
direct provisions Of the charter. Is
1t wise to imperil the success OF
this work in this way? 1t is we'll
known that Of late the courts are
very strict in holding municipal
tiles to the plain letter Of their
charters, and is there not grave
reasons to fear that the outcome
OF any revision Of this action Of
the Council by the courts would
lead to an adverse decision as to
its legality.

MORTON a oANDIDATE.
He WIN Accept the HOnors rendered to
Him al Saratoga.

New YORK, Dec. 15.-The Morning
Advertiser will tomorrow say that Levi
P. Morton is an avowed candidate for
the presidency. The Advertiser is able
10 make this announcement on what
may be termed the best authority.
During the present week distinguished
party leader told an Advertiser reporter
that the governor may conclude to take
his friends into his confidence and de-
clare to them how he feels about 1895.
A leader who saw the governor Thurs
day last came back with a pretty good
conviction that Mr.. Morton does not
propose to toss away the honor offered
him at the last Saratoga convention,
and that, while he does not propose per-
sonally to exert himself, he will be
pleased to have the New York delega-
! ton stand as firm y for his nomination
at ST. Louis as did the famous 3O6 for
Grant.
Continuing, the Morning Advertiser
says:
THE Advertiser possesses other infor-
mation which has to do with the forma-
ton of a most powerful com bination, ,
which, when occasion requires it, is in
tended to be swung to the support OF
either Morton, Reed or Allison.
