more credit is due than to any other
single man. 1t was MIR. Parsons pet
plan for years before the legislature
of the state passed an act by which
the work could be taken up. 1t has
been the indefatigable labor of Mr..
Parsons and his corps of engineers
which has made possible the forma-
ton of plans for every detail now be-
ing carried out successfully.
During the months preceding the
letting of the contracts Mr.. Parsons
offices were the busiest rooms in New

gas pipe. together with house connec-
tons, every conduit was located; in

in the path OF the proposed subway
was determined. Before the first pick
was struck into the ground Mr.. Par

gas service would have to be changed
entirely; he knew one place where IL

over on the other side at Harlem
another extraordinary operation is go
ing on. The Bronx division has to dip
under the river, and this section has
not been done in the regular sub-river
manner. A wooden structure, half the
width of the river long, into whose
cross section an archway of the sub
way would fit is built and fioated from
one bank. Then this structure is
weighted and sunk, and the pressure of
the water above and around it makes
it air tight. The river bottom is then
dug out under the frame work. the
dirt and rock being placed on top OF
the structure to hold it down. When
the trench is of sufficient depth the
regular tunnel masonry is put in, and
one-half being thus completed, the
wooden structure is released and float
ed to the other side, when practically
the same operation is gone through
with again.

that the work has gone on so success
fully thus far. At the present time
nearly million dollars a month are
being expended.
1t is not at all unlikely that another
line of subway will be tunneled under
the East Side of Manhattan. The
Brooklyn division is already assured

The Records Are Open.

Every newspaper in the country will
be interested in the decision of the
Kansas City Court of Appeals regard
ing the suppression of marriage licen-
ses. For years this has been an open
ing for dispute between the local re-
corders and the papers that have
sought to publish list of all marriage
| licenses as items of news. Never be-
fore has the question been brought
into court and decision made, and
the facts that all the judges of the
Court of Appeals at Kansas City have
concurred in the verdict but empha-
sizes the correctness of the position
taken by the Tribane..
Not only ought the newspapers to
profit by this decision which will now
be the precedent and authority for the
opening of all marriage records
throughout the country, but it will re-
lieve the recorders from an embarrass-
ing situation in which they have so
often been placed by requests that the
licenses be kept from the public. Sc
long as an officer has before him the
direct mandate of the law he can with.
out fear of offending applicants declare
that he has no right to keep secret the
issuance of any such papers.
The effort to make political capita
out of the petition filed by the man
ayers of the Tribune against Recorder
o. L. Moore has been without ground
The case resolved around the inter.
probation of the law purely, and Mr.
Moore had his right to the opinion
that the law did not require him tc
keep his record books open, until the
court could decide the meaning of ar
ambiguous clause in the statutes
Until the present. recorder refuses tc
comply with the order of the court he
can not be charged with any malfeas
ance in Office 80 far as the issuance o.
marriage licenses is concerned. Ever
the fact that Mr.. Moore may have
borne an unfriendly feeling toward the
managers of this paper personally
would contribute no just ground fol-
attacking his conscientiousness in do
ing what he considered to be his duty
The Tribune had its own conviction
and we trust the recorder was actuatet
likewise by what he believed. Th'
courts have upheld the 7rt6une
opinion. So there the matter rests, -

peculiarly feminine habit.
Whatever the origin, gum-chewing
may conservatively be said to be the
pet vice of the American women-for
doctors say it is vice, tending to de-
story the digestion of the fair ones
who indulge in it. Even the disasters
wrought by drinking ice cream soda
in hot weather cannot compare with
the dire results of chewing gum at the
rate of So, 900, 900 worth a year.
But it is a mild dissipation. The
men may chew tobacco, drink whisky
and smoke rank cigars and do other
things to disorder their systems and
befoul their breaths, but the ladies,
bless them, stick to gum.
Blessed be the $8, 900, 900 gum bill as
compared with the billion dollars
which rude, coarse men spend for
strong drink every year. Gum may
hurt the digestion, but never yet has
it been recorded that it inspired a
human being to theft or murder. st.

1t Was a Fair Election.

From first to last, in the local cam
paign just closed, the World has stood
for an honest election.
In season and out of season, the
World has pleaded for the sacity of the
ballot.
The Worlds opening word in the
campaign was an appeal for an honest
election.
Its closing word was to the same
end.
The World has been, and is, glad to
commend the splendid work of Circuit
Attorney Folk in endeavoring to bring
about an election absolutely free from
fraud.
The World devoted all its efforts to
a like purpose.
The World was not unwatchful on
election day and stood ready to
thoroughly expose any attempt at
fraud, whether successful or otherwise,
either at the polling booths, the elec-
ltion commissioners Office or elsewhere.
The World exposed no fraud for the
reason that it could find none to ex-
pose.
The most rigid investigation at the
polls revealed only one thing and that
was that the election was easily the
fairest that st. Louis has experienced
in many years past.
In the election commissioners Office
it was the same.

bring about an honest election.

of St. Louis on the fact that it was a
fair and square election.-St. Louis

Mr.. Cleveland's Rhetoric

In his recent oratorical outburst,
Mr.. Grover Cleveland made it plain
to his couptrymen that he still believes
in elephantine ponderosity In rhetoric.
The ex-President seems to take an in
finite delight in verbal gymnastics, in
reverberating locutions, in yard-long
words of Latin ancestry. He cannot
get over his penchant for hiding
thoughts that are really thought COM
pelling in phraseology that is hide
ously academic in architecture. MIR.
Cleveland's Journalism in speech re-
minds one of the rhetorical efforts of
college graduates. His horror of
pregnant and telling Anglo-Saxon
forms of speech is something unique.
and at the same time very distressing
to hearers and readers. Mr.. Cleveland
is good politician, but an inconceiv-
ably poor rhetorician.--St. Louis

The Des Moines Register and Leader,
a Republican paper, says: "Why
should not Porto Ricans, Hawaiians
and Filipinos have the same rights to
travel about that residents of our own
territories have? If the Supreme Court
rules that they are aliens, and Con-
gress does not remedy their status a
very serious barrier will be raised
against any permanent friendly rela-
tions between them and the Unite d
States" The Porto Ricans and Fill
pinos are not given the same rights
that residents of our territories have
because Porto Rico and the PHILIPPINES
are "colonies" and the people OF these
islands are governed according to the
rules of Imperialism rather than by
the laws of republic. The court has
already ruled, in effect, that they are
aliens for some purposes and that the
territory is domestic Territory for some
purposes and foreign territory for
other purposes; and the embarress'
ment of the situation is not 80 much
that it raises a barrier against any
permanent friendly relations between
the colonists and the people of the
United States, but rather that this
policy of Imperialism places the Ameri
can people at war with the purest o.

A Deed and a Word.

A little stream had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern;
A passing stranger scooped well,
Where weary men might turn;
He walled 1t in, and hung with care
A ladle at the brink;
He thought not of the deed he did,
But judged that allanight drink.
He passed again, ana 10! the well,
By summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parching tongue
And saved a life beide.
A nameless man, amid crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall word of hope and love.
Unstudied, from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath
1t raised brother from the dust,
1t saved soul from death.

o thought at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last.
