THE WATER QUESTION.

Mr.. Claypools plan for utilizing Fall
creek as a permanent water supply is at
least worthy of careful consideration.
The suggestion has been made before,
but, when coupled with the idea of a
park system, and control OF the stream
by Park Commissioners for a distance
above the city that would insure pure
water, 1t takes a new form. The engi-
neering and mechanical features of the
voir, sand filter, etc., are probably en-
tirely feasible, though the judgment Of
engineering experts should be had on
these points, as also on the point
whether the stream will furnish an dee
quate supply for the distant future and
the seasons of drought. 1t is generally
understood that Fall creek is largely fed
by springs. and it's water is naturally
purer than that of White river. AS yet,
also, it is not contaminated by factories,
and if the Park Commissioners should OBJ
tain control Of it that source of danger
could be permanently averted. Alto
gether, the suggestion deserves careful
atlOl Will
Without disrespect to the Mayor and
other city officials. including the Park
Commissioners, it5may be doubted
whether they ought to take any definite
action or make any final conclusion in
the matter without calling In the advice
of some high authority in water works
supply and engineering. The question is
one of great Importance, and its right
settlement seems to call for something
more than good business capacity. 1t
seems to call for expert advice. If it was
worth while to send East for an expert
On sewerage and pay him handsomely
for outlining an improved system of sew
ers, it certainly is equally SO to obtain
expert advice on SO important a matter
as securing a permanent water supply
for the CITY.

In st. Paul there was much the same
controversy over sunday baseball as
there has been in this and other cities,
but the outcome has been different.
Early in the season the clergy of that
city came to the conclusion that Sunday
games were demoralizing and should be
stopped. A committee communicated
club. and several interviews followed. the
clergy meeting the manager The latter
attempted to convince the committee
that Sunday games were an innocent
form Of amusement. but when he found
that his logic and eloquence did not con-
effect that his team be permitted to play
five more Sunday gamesiin st. Paul. with
the understanding that no more should
be played on the first day OF the week.
The proposition was made in writing,
and after considering the matter the
committee decided to accept it. They
have required the manager to sign an
agreement to that effect. which will be
binding. This requirement he has com-
piled with. on the understanding hat
the next five games scheduled for Sun
day shall not be interfered with by those
whom the clergymen represent. They
give as a reason for their action that the.
compromise was accepted rather than
take the risk of defeat in the courts.
1t will occur to the worldly that the
ministers have been overreached by the
manager. They are not to interfere with
five Sunday games in any way. AS only
seven games were scheduled for Sunday
in st. Paul, the ger has secured i'm
munity from attack for five of them,
which is an advantage for the manager,
since he ~forfeits but two. games, for
which he can make up by making it to
appear that he has. the consent of the
ministers to play five. OF course, the
ministers have assumed that the five
games will end Sunday playing in future
years, but suppose that Comiskey is not
the of the ST. Paul club next
year, will the new manager accept the
agreement of his predecessor? If he
should not, 1t would seem that he can go
on with the assumption that the minis
ters who sanctioned five games have ad-
mitted that they a no legal remedy
to stop Sunday playing. and, having con-
scented that games be played on five Sun
days. it cannot be sorgreat a crime to
continue to do so.
