MR.. FoRp's LETTER.

The Evening Journal was the first
TO publish the story Of the purpose TO
remove John S. Grohe from the Office OF
registrar of the Water Commission.
Yesterday we published a letter from
Peter J. Ford, President Of the Com
mission, in which he openly and fully
stated his reasons for advocating a
change. While we are yet OF the opln-
ion that Mr. Grohe is entitled by reason
OF faithful and emcient service to re-
tain his position. yet we are obliged
10 say that Mr.. Ford's letter has
manly ring and indicates that what he
proposes TO do he win do In the open.
1t is a pleasure for newspaper which
Is engaged in the discussion Of the
acts Of public officials, 10 encounter
absolute frankness. for It IL quail
ity that is rare.
Mr. Ford is right ia maintaining that
officials should not only be competent
hut courteous. and it is incumbent on
the commission to instruct employees In
their manner. II necessary. az wellas
in their duties. II this has been done
in this instance, without any result.
then Of course a removal would be-
come necessary But we think that
some lenicncy should be shown to an
honest and faithful employe who has
grown aged IN the service. We must
agree with Mr.. Ford's position, save
that we are inclined to think that his
demand for the removal Of this en-
ploye is too precipitate.
But there is another sentiment in
the letter which is Of much more pub
Tic interest II sets forth the motive
behind the acts OF the president Of the
commission. We quote from Mr..
Ford's letter:
When l was appointed Water
Commissioner l accepted the du-
ties Of that Office as a public trust,
with the firm resolve that the de-
partment. so far as ] had a voice
In Its administration. should be
conducted on business principles.
and that the question OF politics or
partisan advantage should never
be allowed TO influence my iudg-
ment or actions. nor should polit-
ical considerations be allowed az
any time or in any way 10 inter-
fere with the administration OF this
department OF the city.
II that is followed out it means ef-
noiency. and we are old-fashioned
enough to think It Is the best politics.
too. We know that many citizens Of
Wilmington have feared the creation
OF a machine, and this emphatic dec
laration dissipates that belief. II any
person. party or interest stands In the
way OF proper administration OF the
affairs Of the commission, the city's
interests should be FIRST considered. We
believe IN the sincerity which seems
to have inspired this letter. We be-
lieve that Mr.. Ford means to do what
he says, but we think he has gone too
Tar In demanding Mr.. Grohes removal.
