many for years to come receiving water

The reason why we say the RESPONSE
bility rests entirely upon Mayor Hoos IS
simply this: His signature will complete
the award. 1t will make the contract
operative. without his signature, nothing
can be done. There is no such hin as
overriding his veto. The law requires his
approval to any contract for a water sup

We believe Mayor Hoos will sign the
award. He is sincerely DESTROYS OF ad-

business man and the figures which show
the enormous saving to the city from the

LAFAYETTE'S PARK.
Finance Board Requested to
Appropriate 500, ooo--Hud-
son City's Park.

The Street and Water Board Commits
sioners sent a request to the Finance
Board yesterday, which was read at last
nights meeting Of the ~inanciers, request
ing that an extra appropriation of 100000
be made for park sites.
The commissioners intend this sum to
be used for a suitable site in the Lafay-
cite section and for the Improvement of
the park on Ogden avenue, known as the
River View Park. II is the opinion of the
Board of Street and Water Commission
ers that the Lafayette section should
have a park. and to accomplish that,
money, of course, is needed. No site, of
course, has been chosen. That would be
a matter for consideration after the Fin
ance Board makes the appropriation.
AS to the Hudson City park, money
is needed to build terraces, make walks
and generally adorfs the site selected.
The request was by the Finance Com
missioners last night referred to a COM
mittee of the whole. There Is good reason
to believe that the money will be appro-
priated and Lafayette will then rejoice

The reformatories and reform schools,
we hold. are useful only for children Of

absolute ~debauchery. Justice Nevin was
fully justified in his reluctance to commit
to any such Institution a child who had
a home with honest parents. He was fully
justified in saying thai to do so was to
create a probability that he would come

"Heroism', Run to Seed.

That Naval Constructor Hobson is
braye, nobody can doubt. That he Is
Ekillful in his profession nay possible be
true, though his record seems to be made
up of very expensive and rather ridiculous
aascos. What there is about him or his
career to justify the capers with which
he has been disgusting the decent part
Of the public of late, it is difficult to
imagine.
The course of promiscuous kissing which
has attended the young mans movements
ever since he emerged into notoriety has
become an offence to good taste and good
manners in the superlative degree. AT
first, one was inclined to pass it by as no
fault of Mr.. Hobson's, but mainly a yell
low newspaper exaggeration of a young
1nanss natural and venial ind%ulgenees. But
the recent utterances of the hero" him
self are so full of vulgar self-complacency
and indicate bravado that one cannot
helpcontracting the painful suspicion that
he is an objectionable cad. and that his
one strong point, his undeniable courage,
is a misfortune to him because it has
given his other qualities a free field for
exercise, and has rendered them con-
spicuous.
In the last day or two. a blessed relief
has come from the way of crazy adula-
tion which rolled over the country in the
wake of the kissing operation. Decent
women seem to have at last awakened to
The vuIgarity of the proceeding, and men
appear TO be realizing its u~nmanIiness and
its ungentlemaniiness. That Mr.. Hobson's
picture was Kissed last evening when ex-
hibited at a show in New York is a
thoroughly healthy sign.
1t is wei that the Navy Department is
sending Mr.. Hobson abroad. Among
foreigners, who nave a few heroes Of
their own, he will find his level. In his
absence the American public will cool
down and get his true measure.

The Reform School Problem,

The Estate Gazette falls foul Of Justice
Nevin. this morning, for his remarks
about the State Reform School, but we
believe it is out of Misunderstanding. The
"Gazette' says
Police Justice Nevin, of Jersey City, told
a twelve-year-old boy who was brought
into his court the other day. charged with
larceny. that II he sent him to the Re-
form School he would come out in a few
years a '.hrst-class crook.
This is a reflection upon one of the most
important State institutions hat is wholly
without warrant or excuse, and could
have come from nothing but a mind dis
torted by prejudice.
To our astonfshment we find the Jersey
City Journal endorsing the opinion OF
Justice Nevin. and declaring that the Re
form School is a preparatory school for
the State Prison.
We do not believe that. There are no
statistics nor evidence of any character
to show that such a belief is true. Were
it a fact 1t would be necessary to enlarge
the State Prison each year in order that
all the criminals might be accommo-
dated.

extent that almost any sort Or 4 home Is
