EDITORIAL OPINION
Weaver and The Blue Laws.

From tho Philadelphia Public Ledger.
No doubt Mr.. Weaver, actuated purely
by tho reformer's anxiety to know the
worst, overcoming his natural aversions
to recreation has visited-Woodside, let
us say. lie has seen the thousands making
holiday workingmen, mothers Of fam
lilies, clerks released for few hours from
labor; children from the hot and narrow
confines Of city homes; groups of merry
girls In white finding here the only sum-
mer resort attainable by them. He has
marked the skiffs propelled about the
miniature lake by lads ambitious to be
athletes; observed the babies gleefully
riding the lions and camels OF the car
rousel; frowned at the frightful ravages
Of the popcorn habit; noted the evident
satisfaction at having had their money :
worth on the faces Of young couples after
a ride on the scenic railway; remarked
great audiences listening with rapt de-
light to 'Violets." or even "Tesse" but
also TO "Ilawatha," the sextette from
Lucia" the William Tell" overture or
the sylvia" suite
And these sights have struck home TO
his soul the conviction that he must not
pause in his labors for the uplifting OF
the morals OF the people over whom an
all-powerful and all-righteous Gang has
appointed him to rule. Almost he was
turned from his vlrtuous resolve by the
cleanly lovellness of the place and the
orderliness and apparent respectability OF
the citizens and children who seemed to
be finding here such innocent delight;
when night came and the park burst into
the magic splendor Of a fairy city built
Of gems. with towers and domes of light
and trees blossomlng into many colored
flames, the tempter whispered that men
might do worse than repair here, even
on Sunday evening, for an hour or two
OF guitless rest for the body and re-
freshment for the spirit.
But Mr.. Weaver did not listen TO this
perfdious voice. His conscience-strength-
ened of late by familiarity with the ele-
waited ethics ruling In the city Hall-as-
serted itself. He assembled his police. He
ordered them to invade the iniquitous
place, fall upon the infamous allurements
and assert the sway Of the strictest prin-
ciples. Today he contemplates with salts
faction the triumph OF Puritanism Fifty
thousand people went to Woodside on
Sunday, only to find their evil intentions
frustrated by the godly zeal Of the Mayor.
The merry-go-round that for weeks had
been permitted to carry on It's dreadful
work of debauching the morals Of Phila-
delphia was still The evils of the old
mill had been at last discovered and with
a firm hand suppressed. The haunting
vice of the Ferris wheel had been
stamped out and the scenic railroad, with
Its train Of moral iniquities. was stayed in
It's wild course Of sin.

MAO DOG IN WEST CHESTER
Two Bitten by the Acknowledgement
Serious Fall.

A mad dog made dash through
West Chester this morning and created
great excitement. Charles Keech, Z
14-year-old son of j. Morton Keech
happened to be in the path of the ami.
mai on West Gay street. and before
he could reach "A place of safety wa.
attacked and bitten in the stomac<
the dog leaving three deep tooth mark,
and drawing blood.
At the corner of Market and Walnut
streets the dog attacked Charles
Scharon, sinking its teeth deep into the
left hand and tearing the flesh into
shreds.
BY this time a party of men with
pis,als and shotguns joined I'm the
chase after the animal, and about a
mile from town overlook and shot il
A number of dogs were also bitten by
the animal, and they were all put to
death. Later i'm the day Messrs. Keech
and Scharon were taken to Phoenix
Vile to be treated by a specialist in
hydrophobia.
Charles A. Strickland, a lineman in
the employ of the Delaware and At
lantic Telephone Company, was
shocked by a live wire at Ridley Park
yesterday and fell down a pole, frac-
turing the thigh bone and dislocating
both wrists and one forearm. He was
taken TO the Chester Hospital. Strick-
land lives in Media.
a case of smallpox was reported
from Waterville by DR.. William Bird
yesterday. The victim is Mrs. Mary
Garnet, colored, who has been in since
Thursday last. DR.. II. II. Evans, City
Physician, saw the woman and ordered
her removal to the Hospital for Con-
tagious Diseases last night.
Postmaster John A. Wallace Of Ches-
ter, received letter yesterday from
Tindal Palmer, vice president of the
Union Terminal Company. of New
York, asking for information regard
ing the adaptability of Chester for the
location Of a plant for the manufac-
ture of motor vehicles. The company
proposes to build motor machines of
both the electric and the gasoline
types.
Deputy Sheriff Charles Wolfe yes
terday read the death warrant to Rob
ert Fitzpatrick in his cell, in Media Jail.
The warrant set forth that Fitzpatrick
was to hang on Tuesday. August 25.
AS the condemned man heard the
solemn words of the warrant, he did
not show the least concern.
The crime for which Fitzpatrick will
pay the penalty was the shooting of

re REMEpY EoR LYNcHINe.

The latest lynching affair took place
in the State of Washington yesterday.
There white man was taken from jail
and hanged by a mob. We know that
these occurrences are becoming so COM
mon and apparently so popular that a
more pleasing word than mob is re-
quired. Perhaps we should speak of "a
posse Of best citizens" instead. Day by
day these outbreaks are becoming more
numerous, and no longer may we re-
gard lynchings as belonging peculiarly
to the South There seems to be an
epidemic of this sort Of lawlessness
which may run It's course like any other
contagion--or it may not.
1t is certain, however, that IL this
sort of violence is TO be checked it will
be because Of the assertion OF "a more
enlightened public sentiment Wheth-
er that sentiment lies dormant or needs
to be created anew is a question. 1t
has been said that IN many instances
mob violence has been encouraged by
am evident disinclination on the part
of the officers Of the law TO do their
duty. but this does not go to the root
of the matter For unless the people
themselves, or a majority OF those who
dominate public sentiment, stand reso-
lutely for law and order the courts and
their officers win be powerless, no mat
ter what their personal opinions may
be. 1t is certain that when a commu-
nifty has lynching and it is backed
up by substantially all the people, there
are no safeguards against future out
breaks Of the same nature.
Presumably. when men make laws
they are calm and understand pretty
accurately the conditions that they
must meet. They have before their
minds the experiences Of all time, and
yet no legislative body Of modern times
ever passed law which countenanced
lynching. This is an evidence that no
man when in his sober senses and when
reason rises above passion can justify
such forms OF violence. What man. for
instance who encourages mob violence
under extraordinary excitement would
as a member Of legislature, advo-
cate law countenancing these out
breaks? We should recognize the
truth, then, that such exhibitions are
possible only when our elemental pas
sions are allowed to so uncurbed and
we must employ every means to keer
them I'm check whether by moral sua-
sion or by firm enforcement of ie-
gal provisions.

SOME POLITICS.

A few weeks ago the Layton Alice
Bach combination looked quite formid-
able, but what a change has come over
the face OF affairsl These three lead
ers were TO be the chief agents Of Ad-
dicks in the respective counties. each
pledged to see that he was landed
in the Senate. and for their work
they we're TO dispense the funds,
pick the plums and manage affairs as
they thought best 1t was a part Of
this scheme that Bach was urged to
leave the rural mail service and run
for q county Office but how well he
carried out his contract may be judged
from certain burning words which Ad-
dicks uttered when the clans were
gathered at Dover preparatory to or
ganizlng The legislature.
But whatever understanding has ex-
listed heretofore there are in progress
efforts at a re-allignment. 1t is fel

a VERY PECULIAR Transaction.
Water. water everywhere
And not "A drop To drink"


And not drop to drink"
That is. there is not a drop that is
ht to drink in sight. We have entered
into scheme to furnish the city with
pure water. and apparently the only
certainty It contains is that we shall
have 10 pay a very steep figure for It.
We think Il is safe to say that no pri-
vate concern would manage its affairs
as has the Water Departmental least
not II It expected 10 continue in busi-
ness. Here is the history in brief.
The commissioners take trip to see
a hlter that is being erected in
Western city. They return. and be-
fore the people have any idea OF their
purpose or have any chance to dis
cuss the project employ a Western
concern to draw plans for new filter
and for other features Of the new plant.
II is said that communications from
great water engineers Of the East We're
never opened. so great was the eager
ness to employ a particular company.
This company offered to give almost
amy sort of guarantee Of the enc
iency of their work--at least that Is
what We we're told So the commits
sloners signed contract calling for
the payment Of i've per cent. OF the
contract price for plans. and ten per
cent for patents. In other words, we
are to pay fifteen per cent OF the total
cost above the real cost of conssruc-
tion. II is true that IL the firm draw
ing the plans gets the contract Il is to
remit the five per cent for plans II Is
pretty certain that Il will get the con-
tract for the work OF construction, since
It is quite probable that q can bid to
greater advantage under plans it has
drawn and which were made with a
view Of bidding.
Immediately after selecting the engi-
neer a bacterioogist was chosen. II
was declared that this was necessary
In order TO make tests with an expert
mental filter that the nature Of sands
and water might be determined. This
was for the purpose OF giving the COM
pany which had made an offer Of such
sweeping guarantee, such informa-
tion as might be necessary TO make
that guarantee good It was an evi-
dence OF the commissions rare gener-
osity
Then came a demand for the pay
rent Of $4,000 on account OF the plans
The commission compromised by or
dnring the payment Of $4,000. 1t was
pointed out that all of those sweeping
guarantees had not been reduced to a
tangible form: that the contracting
company had not carried out its agree
ment TO put up bonds; but the COM
mission evidently did not regard that
as important, for Il ordered the check
drawn. Now the city auditor is hold
ing it up It is well, and we trus
that he viii continue to hold II up az
long as he can. and that this thinl
win be tied up in the courts till ID
last straw is threshed out.
