OUR RUINEDST MS
THEIR UNNECESSARY POLLUTION BY
SEWAGE

Modern Sanitary Science Falls Far
Short of the IdeaI-Present system
of Town Drainage n Disgrace to
the Country.
The wanton and needless pollution of
water courses is made the subject of
an editorial in a recent issue of the
New York Journal. That the state
ments made by The Journal are based
on solid ground are plain to the most
unthinking. 1t is time that the nui-
sance should be abated and an intelli-
gent effort made to make the streams
and lakes as pure and undetiled as they
were fifty years ago. What is more
beautiful and satisfying 10 the eye and
senses than pellucid stream or crystal
lake its sparkling waters giving as
surance of that care for public health
and comfort which should be the aim
of every community? However, the
editorial speaks for itself. Here is it:
When the first white men came to
America, they found pellucid streams
scanning the entire land. Wherever
they went they heard in the forests the
tinkle Of laughing water. They could
fish and battle in the rivers. or they
could even drink from them. Even
within the recollection Of middle aged
men the old swimmin' hole" was
place of delight for the boys of every
village. There was always clear
creek within reach in whose depths
they could get aquatic joys with an in
cidental cleanliness that could hardly
have been forced upon them in any 9th
er way.
All that is gone or rapidly going.
Modern sanitary science in America
has advanced just to the point at which
every stream is being converted into
an open sewer. The old fashioned town
knew nothing about drainage. Ameri-
can towns Of today are convinced that
they must be drained, but they think
their duty in this respect performed
when they have turned their sewage
into the nearest creek or river 1t new
er occurs to them that they are com
hitting an atrociOus outrage upon the
people below them. Those people do
the same thing for the dwellers still
farther down. and so on until the sew
ers that have no running water left to
pollute take it out on the bathing
beaches al the seashOre.
With the growth of population and
the increase i'll the number of towns
and cities pure water is becoming an
unattainable luxury outside of the
mountains. Some cities. like New
York, secure a tolerable drinking sup
ply by fencing in catchment areas
Others, like st. Louis, frankly drink
sewage. In others the people buy
spring water or distilled water by the
bottle. Boys continue to swim in the
streams because they would swim in
anything wet. But the old times, when
the creek rippled transparency over
polished pebbles and the most fastidi-
Gus swimmer could dive in it and fear
lessly swallow the liquid he took into
his mouth. are gone, let us hope not
forever
II the ruin of our streams were n
necessary accompaniment of advanc-
Ing civilization, we might reconcile our
selves to it, but it is not. 1t is merely
the mark of a civilization that has
stopped half way. We have learned to
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1902-01-02

drain our towns, but we have not
learned to drain them properly. In
Europe things have been carried fur
Their. There the largest cities dispose of
sewage by chemical methods which do
not pollute streams and which, instead
of proving costly, actually return a
profit. We can do the same thing here
All we need is public sentiment
which shall recognize the Importance
of the end to be gained.
Fortunately the evil is not past rem
edy. A polluted stream will purify
itself If we stop adding new pollution.
We have learned that our towns must
be drained. Let us advance the rest of
the way by learning to drain them
scientifically, and our land will again
be threaded by limpid streams instead
of by nOisome sewers.

Immediately to the scene, was complete

she was already dead. The sight of the

There is some difference of opinion as
to the exact manner in which the accident
happened. Engineer s. NJ. Shivers, in
charge of the train. and other railroad
employees assert Mrs. Wallace was rum

struck. The husband Of the dead woman
and others not on the train asserted the
engineer failed 10 blow his whistle at the
crossing and thus gave the woman no

CAPTAIN "BILLIE" GRIM
DIES IN CITY HOSPITAL

William NJ. Grim, of the police force,
known Atlanta over as Captain billie"
Grim, after a peculiar attack at police
station early Monday afternoon, died
next morning at .6:15 o'clock at the Grady
hospital. Paralysis. the doctors have de-
cided; was the cause of death. though for
quite a time yesterday various opinions
were held as to the cause of the seizure.
Captain Grim was discovered ION the
third story of the station house by Ste
nographer r. c. Banks Monday. The
stricken man appeared to be entirely out
of his right mind and seemed to have lost
all control of his arms and legs. He was
wandering around in an aimless sort Of
way when found.
1t was thought for several hours
that he was suffering from a sun stroke
or from having been overcome by heat.
Later. st was decided paralysis was the
trouble. mo RELIEF could be given the
stricken man and the end came early next
morning.
Captain Grim, In point OF service. was
one Of the oldest men on the force. He
first became a policeman under General
Tige Anderson March LIST, 1880 He has
served with distinction under four chiefs:
Chiefs Connally, Manly and Ball, follow
ing in the order named after Chief An
derson. Under Chief Connally the then
young policeman became a captain and he
filled this office with a success that has
seldom been attained by other men on
the force.

light cigar or cigarette stub. The cotton
burst into a blaze. the stair pads were set
on fire and in an instant the fire spread
throughout the first floor and mounted
upward.
A panic ensued and disregarding the
fire escapes many Of the employees. jump

JACKSON, Miss, May 5.-The revival
of the old error Of attributing to President
Jefferson Davis a leading part in the re-
pudiation OF Mississippis bonds. and the
recent speech Of Bishop Kelley, of Geor-
gia, has attracted a great deal of atten-
ton and Historian Rowland has search
ed the files and found out some interest
ing facts in this regard.
President Roosevelt said in his life OF
Benton. Before Jefferson Davis took his
place among the arch-traitors in our an
mails, he had already long been known as
one Of the chief regulators; 1t was not
unnatural that from dishonesty towards
the creditors OF the public he should after
wards add treachery towards the public
ITSELF
Jefferson Davis never was a member of
either house Of the Mississippi legisla-
ture, and took no part in state or munich
pal affairs. He was a member of the
United States army until 1885. in that year
he resigned, returned to Mississippi and
lived for eight years the life of planter.
He was then elected a presidential cleo
tor and afterwards made a number Of
speeches in which he always urged that
the state pay every dollar that it owed.
He was called upon by Governor McNutt,
who was a bitter opponent of Jefferson
Davis to define his position. and he did
so in unmistakabie terms. both on the
stump and in the papers over his own sig
nature. He was always in favor of the
state paying what she owed
