our INEFFICIENT DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC WORKS.

Nearly two months ago North Side
taxpayer complained to the Commits
siOncr Of Public Works Of the condition
in which gang Of city labOrers left the
street pavement In front Of his resi-.
dence. after they got through putting
in a water cock. The Commissioners an.
swered that the matter would dc at

tended TO yet. A few weeks ago the
same taxpayer met Deputy Commits
siOner Toolen on the street and report.
ed the matter to him. Mr.. TOOlen said
It would be attended to at once.
II has not been attended to yet.
Aud the street, which was In good
repair before the blear-eyed buns EN-.
ployed by the city tore 1t up, Is rapidly
getting worse.
Seventy.five per cent. OF the bad
street pavements IL directly traceable

street work by the Department Of Pub.
lie Works.
And yet Mccain, the Commissioners,
has the gall to blame the trouble on
the poor taxpayers when some OF the
Mayors pets, the bicycle fends, ask
for an explanation.
For cool. unadulterated cheek. the
following from Mccain himself takes
the cake:
1.-THE cycling clubs can help us best. Z"
Mr.. Mccain told their ambassadors,

sent TO street improvements. Many OF
our thoroughfares on the North and
West sides are In frlghtful condition
We are doing what We can to make
temporary repairs with broken stone
and cinders where possible.
But the main trouble We have il
with the property owners. More than
80 per cent. OF the Improvements order
ed are being repealed right along. We
are seeking to put down the very
cheapest possible roadways - cedar
block, macadam or anything that will

property owners 60 into the public

pavement, which in turn Will be torn
up by another gang Of loafers next
year.

When war breaks out those on both
sides are apt to underrate their enemy.
No doubt In the present war our cOun.
trymcn were too ready to say that the
Spanish could not or would not fight.
and that victory would be easy and
speedy. Nevertheless, while that was
a mistake, 1t Is a fact which other PEG.
pie beside Americans see and declare,
that the Spnniards Of to-day IRE In a
broad sense inefficient. As q writer
In the London Spectator puts II, "they
never quite succeed" In anything. They
know their government Ii corrupt, but
they do not purify 1t; they know that
their army lacks organization, but they
do not organize II. Inetficiency extends
through all their public, social, indus.
trial and commercial life. Yet while
they perceive the defects. they have
not the energy to apply the remedy.
England, France, Germany and Italy
have largely extended their colonial
possessions, and have known how to
govern their subject races SO as to
maintain not only peace and order. but.
to a degree, the cOntentment and good
will Of the natives over whom they
rule. Spain alone has acquired no new
territory, ana has SO misgOverned what
she had that even her c0lonists Of Span.
ish blood have been In revolt against
her In every quarter Of the globe. 1t Il
much easier to state these facts than to
explain them. Time was when Spain
was conqueror. She produced the
boldest Adventures, the most enter.
prlsing merchants, the most audacious
leaders OF expeditions across the sea
to extend her power and increase her
wealth. To-day apparently all the fierce.
ness Of the Spaniard remains. ana all
his pride; but OF energy OF the quality
that persists until an end Ia reached he
has none. Perhaps all this Is not true
of the people Of northern Spain; but
they do not govern the country, MOI
give the characteristic tone to the race
All their faults-their pride which
makes 1t undignified to exert them
selves. their love Of ease, their "hiddeu
root of inefiiciency," to quote again
from the Spectator-all these faults are
exaggerated In the aristOcracy ana the
ruling class. II we cannot explain why
the Spaniards Of today possess these
traits. the traits themselves explain
why the government is so bad, why the
colonies are In rebellion. why the treas
ury Is bankrupt.

not so much the severity of punishment |
as its certainty that Ii the most power. |
full restraint Of crime Of all kinds, and
Of murder no less than those Of lesser
magnitude. There are many argu-
ments, rs well as facts, that seem to
demonstrate the correctness Of that
contention, and one of the most slgnifi. |
cant is the experience of New South
Wales in dealing with the crime of
homicide. In 1904, and for many years
previous thereto. there was in the col.
ony one murder for every 25O, 600 popu.
lation, but the punishment was about
as lax rs 1t Is In this country. A new
plan was tried, and as result the mum.
Der of murders has been reduced to one
in each 100000 Of population. In the
last four years there were only thirteen
murders committed In the colony, and
for these crimes eight persons were
executed and Ave were sentenced to a
life Imprisonment. The method adopt.
cd was to permit the shortest possible
time to elapse between the commission
Of the crime and the carrying out Of the
finding Of the trial court. The average
time from arrest to conviction was
about sixty-fve days and from convic.
ton to execution forty five days. In
every case of an authenticated murder
in the colony In the last four years the
guilty persons have either been execut.
ed or sent to prison for life. The show.
ing of the United States Is in contrast
with that Of New South Wales. In 1894
there were 100 murders committed I'm
this country, or about one for every
400 of population. or those guilty Of
these crimes there were 112 legal execu.
lions, but most of them were after long
delays. The year following there were
about 5000 murders and 113 execution.
The number Of murders In this country
has steadily increased, but executions
and prison sentences do not show any
renewed zeal Of civil officers in the ef.
fort to bring these criminals to justice.
It Is not infreIuently the case that men
charged with murder remain In Jail
month after month awaiting trial. AZ.
ter they have been tried and found
guilty comes the long delay pending a
new trial, and year or two may elapse
before the Just punishment Is inflicted,
even II the criminal does not entirely
escape. II would be we'll II the prompt.
ness that Is exhibited with murderers
In New South Wales could be incorpor.
ated In our own criminal practice.

of the Thirty-first legislative assembly,
and w. +. Martin, territorial coal oil
inspector and ex-member Of the council
of the Thirty-second legislative assem-
bly,. OF course the purport of the tcs-
timony given is not known, but the time
consumed in the examination Of these
witnesses was not of long duration.
They have been discharged from further
attendance OH the jury.
1t is understood that another batch OF
subpHnas has been sent out for wit
nesses and that among these Is Lou
