well DONE. MR- MAYoR.

Mr., Mayor we congratulate you. We
knew YOU We're gentleman OF attrac-
tive personality and right Instincts
and we thought that YOU had back
bone, and you have proved that there
is no doubt about our estimate.
The Evening Journal took up this
fight against the first remarkable con-
tract with the Sand Filtration Com
pony because II was convinced that
such contract was against public
policy; It fought the ratification Of the
second contract for the same reason.
We have no other motive than the
protection OF the public interests ana
il IS very wholesome thing to see our
mayor calmly weighing the natter ig-
noring politics and the urgent pleas Of
friends. and doing what be- regarded as
his solemn duty.
We do not know what ihc next move
win be; possibly an effort viii be made
to compel tie mayor TO sign the con-
tract. but that would be procedure
fraught with come danger. The people
will back up the mayor IN thus mat
ter ana help linn TO see It through
Our advice Is to start anew. II would
pay the city to appoint a commission
OF experts to study our wants in the
line Of Improvement to our water sys-
tenn. and draw plans for hlter and other
works Then the contract could bs
given to the lowest responsible bidder
A competent engineer with fun ex.
perlence in such matters should be en-.
ployed TO supervise the work. and h,
should not be interested In the con.
tract i'm any manner.

EDITORIAL OPINION
Democratic Alteration.

From the indianapolis News Ond).
Il would not be surprising il the
Democrats, as is rumored from Wash
ington, We're to array themselves as a
party against the Panama Canal. There
have only been hopes, not acts, thus
far that the old axiom that the Demo-
cratic party could be relied on to do
the wrong thing was no longer true.
The temptation I'm the present case II
rumor be true is too strong for that
party, and unless the unexpected hap
pens. Il will go off into n mulish oppo-
sition TO the country's interests just
In time TO bruise the popular hope that
Il had awakened to sanity and been so
rehabilitated that il might become a
real factor in public affairs.
Look at the situation: Here we have
been for years trying to build an isth-
mian canal. We worried Great Britain
and were ready to repudiate our treaty
with her IL we were not allowed absO-
lutte and exclusive control of that canal.
1t was given to us. Then after long
debate we came into the room OF the
Panama Canal under the threat Of the
Nicaragua route Then VIC were "held
up"-this great nation made sport Of
by q petty South American republic
that proposed to blackmail us and max,
us a laughing stock before the world
after we had so truculently declare,
that we and we only should build tn,
canal. Then there comes the revolu
tion by which Panama swings fre
from the blackmailers and seeks ou
protection. and the way of the cana
lies omen to us.
At this juncture comes the Demo.
cratic party, and. like the Mugwumps
proposes to palaver about purity anc
legality. and that sort of thing. When
we devised the greenback as a bitter
war necessity the Democratic party
took the same coute. Its reverence
FOR law was shocked to the centre. The
nation must die II need be- but Il musi
not by all that was holy use this pes
tiferous paper device to save its life
We did use il as a war measure. Then
having crossed the bridge I'm this FASH
ion and no longer needing the structure
we proposed To tear Il away. We vii
return now. we said. to the era Of rea
money. Never" shouted the Demo.
cratic party. that flimsy piece of pa.
per Is real money" So. now when W,
have found a practical way to build the
canal, the Democratic party shows
signs OF becoming shocked In its rev.
erent instincts for purity and legalit,
and threatens to do its best to cripple
us. Well. II Il must be so. II must. W.
reckon" this America can handle Co
lombia and the Democratic party a
the same time and build the canal int
the bargain.

The Canadian outery.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The Dominion Government has re-
solved to make an appeal to the home
government for the concession OF the
treaty making power in any negotia-
tions in which Canada is concerned.
The right OF making treaties IS an es-
sential prerogative OF sovereignty. The
Canadian proposal falls short OF a de-
mand for complete independence with
respect TO the treaty making power in
that after treaty has been negotiated
on her own behalf it is to be sent to
the King. for his assent The veto
power would be exercised by the King.
but the making OF the treaty would be
committed wholly to Canadians in
cases in which Canadian interests are
involved. a request for absolute pow
er to negotiate treaties would be tam
tamount to a request for complete in
dependence. The Canadians are max
ing progress along that path. but have
not reached the goal. The evolution
AIRY process In nature and I'm the des-
tiny of States moves slowly but ire
sisubly
The Montreal Herald said recently
that the situation is Just what il used
to be when a British colony had 10 SO
10 the verge OF rebellion--or eVcu
past--to get the attention OF Parlia-
ment. British Toryism has always re-
sisted the extension Of freedom az
home, has always opposed It's grant tc

lclaims, on behalf Of the Canadians. anS
desire for separation" but it proceeds
10 intimate that there is no way q
iavoid il unless Premier Laurier's plan
TO give Canada the treaty making pow
er TO be adopted. All this sounds very
much like the American fulmination'
IN the early days of the revolution
Great Britain learned something from
the loss OF the American colonies. ans
has gone 20 great lengths In grantins
self government TO her remaining pos
sessions. The Canadian outcry agains
Great Britain may help the Chamber

A PLEASANT TIME IN JAIL.

Some months since the Evening
journal having heard OF numerous
complaints at the manner in which
prisoners IN the Sussex Jail are al
lowed a great measure OF freedom. sent
a reporter to Georgetown to ascertain
the facts. a surprising condition was
discovered, not surprising perhaps to
the people Of Georgetown, because they
have grown accustomed to II. but rath-
er startling 60 the outside world.
Today we publish letter from that
town which indicates that the abuses
have not been reformed. II the
charges were sustained, and we think
they can be. sheriff might lose his
ofice and be brought into court to
answer for contempt. Just think OF a.:

delphla home and placed IN the care
OF a family is outraged by a son OF
the persons IN whose care she was
placed. The defenceless child's life
was for time despaired OF. There was
a trial, and Notwithstanding the PEN
atty for such am offence is death, the
brute is given few years In prison.
To this man the sheriff chooses to
extend the courtesies OF the place,
sending him home TO visit his friends,
and allowing him the freedom
of the town. He is still a
monaco to the community and
his presence in town has been a
source OF anxiety TO women and chill
dren. II is asserted by Georgetown
people. and not denied. that It is a
common thing to see prisoners FOR long
terms passing through the streets and
even Into the suburbs unattended. why
don't they run away? They don't

THANKSGIVING.

Gratitude is so sare quality that he
who has it Is a marked man. Ingratl-
tude Is omnipresent and arises from
the fact that we desire that which we
have not earned and that our talents
and our efforts do not entltle us TO-
when man feels the pinch Of hum
ger and is frozen by the ley blasts OF
winter ana has no shelter we do not
expect him to pour out his soul I'M
gratitude. When his loved ones are
suffering and he has not the power toI
relieve their distress he can't join
heartily in n hymn Of thanksgiving.
But there are not many such per-

Few Of us are so situated that we must

But he had something more than

Fortifying the system against

up the strength of the whole
body and puts one in a
healthy, vigorous condition.
Weak lungs, throat troubles

from any other source.
Cod liver oil itself is very
