CULTIvATING PATRIOTISM.

Golfers Weekly" looks upon the
times as an optimist, but asserts its be-
lief with such yigor as to leave no
doubt concerning its sincerity, when it
says that despite predictions to the con-
trary, there LIS not a material falling off
in the patriotic love of America and for
her institutions. 1t attributes this to
the work of the numerous American he
reditary and other patriotic societies of
the country.
There are. we believe, twenty eight of
these societies. such as the Sons of the
Revolution. the Daughters of the Rev
olution, the Colonial Danes, Of which
there are two orders, the Society of the
Cincinnati, the Loyal Legion, and a
number OF other associations related to
the war Of the revolution, the war Of

which have for their sole purpose the

event related to the achievement of our
liberties.
good work in fostering love of country
and Of free institutions. Their MEM
bership does not exceed all told 5OO,OOO
in the United States, and there are
some 5000 members outside of the
United States. Now, while it is conced-
ed that these patriotic people are labor
ing with pride and spirit in noble en-
deavor. it must be true that their efforts
are very largely among people from
whom we need fear no assault upon
free institutions They appeal mainly
to those who can trace back some rela-
ton to men and women who had a part
in the achievement of our liberties or
their preservation, but assuredly they
do not reach the millions in America
who can report no such connection.
1t is among these, the descendants of
immigrants, the naturalized citizens,
and those who come of families not rep
resented in America in the early times
that there is need for missionary work
in the patriotic direction For a good
many years we have read the represent
ative magazine of these patriotic soci-
cites, and. as stated, have not noted
that the associations work among the
people to whom we may look for defec-
tion from patriotic sentiment, If at all.
Golfers Weekly insists that the ef
forts Of these societies in the public
schools in inducing study of and essay
writing upon patriotic and historical
subjects is having a very great influ-
ence. This will not be denied, and it is
something to be grateful for, but We
apprehend that these medal and reward
schemes do not reach one school in one
thousand in all the country. If they
were general in their application the So
cieties would be bankrupt shortly in
supplying medals alone. The work re-
ferred to Is In fact confined to the
schools of a few cities where the
stronger societies have headquarters.
The debate of the subject, however,
suggests that the work of thse patriotic
hereditary and other American socie
ties might be extended in the direc-
tons we have indicated with good re-
suits. They will not want for money,
if they ask 1T to conserve the more gen.
eral study of the history of the nation
and to distribute and secure the reading
of patriotic literature. The land Is full
OF influences that are actively at work
breaking down respect for our inStitu-
tions, our laws and the system Of gov
ernment itself. These influences must
be countera cted or we shall certainly
have results that will be unpleasant.
Lawlessness, disregpect for authority,
absolute ignorance and carelessness re-
garding American history and tradi-
ton, lack of pride in the nation and
only a lowlevel regard of its institutions
are rife and suggest the need for cor
receives. These must be of the educa-
tional order and not by any means con-
fined to children.

TO-MORROw'S ELECTION.

The election to be held in this city on
Tuesday is one of such Importance that
1t is to be hoped the vote cast will be
a large one There is nothing of poll
tics in this case, but simply question
of business economy. The proposition
is to disburse S65,000 for the immedi-
ate construction Of a drainway on 5
street from Seventeenth to sunp at
Front street, where a pumping plant
will be established by which the drain
age waters collected in 1t will be lifted
out.
The new drain will consist Of half
circular ironstone pipe buried in cement
and masonry, from each side of which
brick masonry will rise and arch to give
six feet of diameter. This is on the prin-
ciple upon which the Partisan drain
ways are constructed SO that when the
volume of water is normal it is all car
ried in the smooth half-pipe in the bot
tom of the construction, and the mo-
rnentum by the confinement is thus aug
mented.
The Record Union has taken spe-
cial pains to examine into the situation,
and is convinced that it viii be eco
nomic to adopt the plan submitted to
the people. If it is not done the storm
waters will have no outlet the coming
winter and cannot be discharged by the
inadequate and worn-out pumping sta
ton and pipes at Eighth and 7 streets
The city has been sued in several cases
where property has been damaged by
the accumulation Of storm waters, and
other suits are threatened. The city is
enjoined by the courts from discharging
the waters through the drainage canal
gates and upon the property Of owners
south of street. Something must be
done, therefore. at once, and the plan
submitted is, in the Judgment of the
city officials, the best means to adopt
and we are of the same mind.
In this there is no abatement Of the
demand for complete and compre-
hensive sewer system and the abolition
of the poisonous cesspools. The pro-
posed drainway VIII not only not inter-
fere with the adoption and construc-
ton of such system, but will supple
ment it and better enable double sys-
tenn to be put in, as is advised by all
leading sanitary authorities, which op-
pose mingling storm waters and city
sewage wherever it can be avoided.
II 1t is said that for one or two win
ters more we can get along with tenn
porary lifting plant, the reply Is that
any such makeshift will be ineffective,
because there must be collection of the
waters before they can be lifted out; be-
sides, to rent a wrecking pump, trans
port and set 1t up. dig open drains and

opinion of experts, cost nearly as much
as the proposed plan to be voted on to-
morrow, and In the end an output drain
will have to be constructed anyhow. So

PLEASURE FIRST.

I boarded a part of one summer three
miles from sleepy little village up in

this village to get some mail I expected
and to execute several commissions for
friends who were boarding where
was.
When reached the Postoffice found
it closed. A phenomenally long and thin
man was lying fiat on his back on a
bench by the Postoffice door. He had
an old straw hat over his face, and
he did not remove it until I asked:
