The '1abor graft" as District Attor-
ney Jerome of New York calls it in
describing the settlement of certain
strikes by payment of cash to walking
delegates, is bound to cause some hard
thinking on the part of the average
member of the union who is accus,
toned to lay down his tools or take
them up at the nod Of the walking del
egate. The evidence shows that some
of the delegates have been accustomed
to "catch 'em comm and goin'' and
take pay from both sides.

Responsibilities a. CITY OfIacaaas.


The supreme court Of Pennsylvanls
has given an opinion in case arising
In Pittsburg of interest TO municipali-
ties in general and to those of the
Keystone commonwealth in particular.
1t appears that under the direction
Of the department Of public works of
Pittsburg reservoir had been con-
structed. There had been much trou-
BILE about it from the beginning, but
when 1t was declared to be finished the
director of public works pronounced it
all right. The people, however, had
elected new comptroller, who declared
that the work was not right; that the
reservoir would not hold water. He
refused to sign the warrants to pay for
the job, the whole amounting to sew
eral hundred thousand dollars.
The case was taken to one Of the AL
legheny county courts, which took the
position that the comptroller was not
the judge Of the proper execution Of
the contract; that responsibility belong
ing to the director Of public works, I'M
der whose department and supervision
the work was done. AS the director
had said the work was all right and
had accepted it on behalf Of the city,
1t should be paid for An appeal was
taken to the supreme court, which now
afirms the opinion Of the Allegheny
court. This, of course, does not decide
that the reservoir was properly con-
structed; it does not decide that it is
not a leaky and useless affair, though
about this there is much difference Of
opinion. It merely puts the whole re-
sponsibility on the official under whose
authority the work is done and who
accepts it on behalf Of the city. He is
the city's chosen agent for the purpose,
and the city must sustain his acts.
There cannot be much quarrel with
the opinion of the court, though it
brings home to every municipality the
Importance of selecting competent and
trustworthy officials. The case is Of

Mr.. Simmons eat ia his Office yester-

made up the sixty years IL Kenosha.
He recalled. his early life on the farm
near Benton, the log rollings and the
barn raisings and the wrestling bouts
which followed. A smile crossed his
face IS he told Of the early days when

Kenosha as clerk ia the store of Seth
Doan the pioneer merchant and of
the manner in. which he succeeded
Mr. Doan after year and a half in
his service and began business on his
own hook with no capital save the
amounts he had saved from the an
nual salary of two hundred dollars
which he had received for his labor.
Those little incidents are deeply
reverenced by "Kenosha's Grand Old
Man. and in them he finds the found
alton for the success which he made
as business man.
The work of village store keeper
was not of an uninteresting nature in
those days and by this work Mr.. Sim

enterprises which finally led him into
new lines of work which resulted in
his career becoming one. of intense in
