the departments are not the cause Of the
chief part of the remaining waste. That
fact has been often charged and never
satisfactorily refuted. 1t remains today an
obstacle to the righteous establishment Of
the water meters by compulsion.
There Is no warrant for believing that
Washingtonians are more reckless in their
use of water than are the residents of other
cities where the service is conducted on
similar principles. There is, to be sure, more
grass here and 1t is the policy Of the gov
ernment to encourage the people to keep it
and the trees in good condition by the use
of water. If the greater part of the in
creased local consumption is attributable
to this use of the supply in summer it is to
be regarded as a wholesome rather than a
deplorable condition. In fact 1t should be a
matter for general satisfaction that Wash
ingtonians use more water than do the resi-
dents of some other cities And as long as
there are means of keeping the supply in
advance of the consumption they should be
employed. OF course. as Col. Miller we'll
says, the filtration Of the water adds a new
factor to the case. The question arises
whether 1t is desirable to continue the pres
ent high per capita consumption when it
will cost at the rate Of Sc million gallons
to filter 1t.
The consistent position Of the domestic
water users of the District on this score
has always been that when 1T Is proved that
they are responsible for the excessive use
of the supply, and not the large mercantile
users, or the departments or the defective
pipes then 1t will be time to talk about
compelling them to meter their houses. AS
yet that proof is not forthcoming.

The Vice Presidency.
Says the esteemed Philadelphia I

| Says the esteemed Pmladelphla fleSs:
Senator Platt of New York. having had
great deal to do with nominating the last
republican candidate for Vice President, Is
now engaged in nominating the next one.
He is for Senator Aldrich
How much had Senator Platt to do with
Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination for the vice
presidency The old claim is that he
brought it about singlehanded; that as his
plans were being disarranged by Mr.. Roose-
Welt at Albany lie conceived the idea Oh
transferring him to Washington, and pros
ecutcd his purpose with such diligence and
success that by the meeting time OF the
Philadelphia convention the Platt-made
Roosevelt boom was irresistible. But this
is a fairy story. Mr.. Platt may not have
enjoyed the presence of Mr.. Roosevelt in
the governors chair at Albany, but that
fact had no weight whatever In the forming
of the sentiment which made Mr. Roose-
yelt's name so potent when 1t came to
choosing a running mate for Mr.. Mckinney.
The Roosevelt boom rested upon Mr. Roose-
velt's own performances. Popular scnu-
ment demanded the nomination Of the
young man who had made himself an at
tractive figure in the war with Spain. and
besides had made himself useful in civil
posts Of honor. Mr.. Platt was simply an
occupant of the band wagon. lie did not
hold the reius
Bat now is good time. II Mr.. Platt Is in
earnest for him TO show the country just
what his power is a maker of vice presi-
Dental candidates. Mr. Aldrich is the man
of his choice. No one will dispute with
him the credit Of having first named the
senior senator from Rhode Island. The
field is open. Nearly year must elapse
before the republican national convention
will meet. Strong as Mr.. Roosevelt is, his
party should recognize the necessity of Civ
ing him the strongest possible yokemate. 1t
has much excellent material to choose
from. Let Mr.. Plat, therefore. exert him
self in his favorite's behalf, and let us see
how close he will come to controlling the
situation.
He will not do this thing. We may not
hear of the AldriCh boom again, even from
him. The suggestion of the name of the
Rhode Island senator has developed in the
press either Interrogation or exclamation
points. The newspapers which have not
asked. Does he mean it?" have exclaimed,
Caesars ghost" Mr.. Platt could have
said nothing leading to more surprise. or
which would have caused people moro to
wonder. The subject is or should be, supe-
riur to iOCoSity

New York.

Titus Sheard, an upstate New York re-
publican of influence. was at oyster Bay
yesterday comforting with the President on
the political situation in that state, and
said afterwards IN an interview in which
he predicted the nomination and election
of his friend next year:
Il see no reason in the world why Presl
dent Roosevelt should not poll the same
vote as Governor Odell and over. On the
other hand, l do not see why any demo-
cratic candidate should even repeat ColerS
vote. The COler vote is not q tranSferra-
bic quantity. 1t due to certain spite
and rancor which L believe are now OBJ
liberated"
Mr.. Sheard puts a business-like aspect
on affairs. AS he states the case, New
York will have to be fought for by the re-
publcans with great vigor next year. Gov
ernor Odell won his race last fall by very
small margin. 1t looked for day or two
if he had lost. But this Is better talk
for the republicans than talk Of a moro
confident kind would be. 1t Is calculated
to set them to thinking and to working.

Abolish the Convict Camps.


The Intrinsic difficulties OF the race uues-
ton In the south are great enough in all
conscience. No people has ever had a
more difficult problem of internal manage
1nent 10 deal with. 1t is taxing the best
spirit and the best intelligence of the truest
citizens of the southern states No amount
of patience. good Will. foresight, strength
energy. IS too great to eXpend upon It,
Take 1t at its best, and it still presents
dif1cult1es which, to the well-wishers of
either race, must appear most formidable
only by a steady exercise Of wise judg-
ment and humane endeavor can a gradual
improvement in existing conditions be ef-
fected. There Is only one way in which
the south can rise to the situation. Let
every southern state abolish the private
convict-camp system outright. Even where
there Is no race question involved. such a
system always breeds cruelty and bar
barity. No prisoner should be intrusted
to the tender mercies of an exploiter in a
remote camp, unchecked by the super
vision Of conscientious officers Of the law.

A Statue of Pitt.
From the Philadelphia Record.

The erection of a memorial statue Of
Washington in st. Paul's Cathedral, Lon
don, might be taken a for Ameri-
cans to extend like courtesy to some
representative Englishman; and no Eng
lishman could be named. who would be
more appropriately honored with a place
among the heroes Of our common race, than
William Pitt 1.-The Great COmmoner."
Washington and Pitt were fighting for the
same cause and the victory Of the former
was triumph for the British nation no
less than of the Americans. 1t marked
the downfall in Great Britain as we'll as in
the former colonies of the system of per-
sonal government which George III had
labored to impose upon self-governing

The suggestion that Bourke Cochran may
transfer his residence to Ireland and be-
come a member of the British parliament
has not stirred the public profoundly on
either side of the water. Apparently the
people in neither country care where Mr..
Cochran lives, or what he may be about.
And, when we come to think about it, why
should they care?
To use a Tammany phrase-and one nat
urally thinks of Tammany in thinking Of
Tammanys once favorite son-Mr. Cochran
played out his string in this country some
years ago. Tammany made him. 1t gave
him his opportunity and 1t literally re-
warded him for his services. Richard Cro-
ker put him forward as the mouthpiece Of
tho organization at national conventions.
and sent him to Congress. Reputation and
money followed In fact they followed too
quickly and in too great abundance to suit
Tammany's purposes. For, soon as he
became rich and famous. Mr.. Cochran
turned his back on his old friends and set
UP as man of fashion.
But the man of fashion has exercised no
influence on politics whatever. Since his
Tammany days Mr.. Cochran has held no
office. He has done a little campaigning
here and there, but has been listed prin-
cipally as an entertainer. He Is an orator
of undoubted power with a full voice,
lively fancy, a rich vocabulary. and a de-
livery of great earnestness. His audiences
listen and applaud 1t did not appear, how
ever. after his stumping tour for Mr.. Bryan
in 1900. that he had influenced votes in any
quarter. He had entertained thousands, but
had convinced nobody
Mr.. Cochran Is an Irishman by birth, and
probably loves the land. AS member Of
parliament he would talk eloquently enough.
But Ireland has never lacked for ora tors.
in parliament or elsewhere If oratory
could have Won her cause she would long
since have possessed everything she de-
sired. Matters have gone beyond the do
main Of talk. The Irish cause is now
matter of conference and business. The
long-headed man of affairs, with tact and
his temper under control, is worth all tho
fiery orators that could be marshaled in
single file from Dublin to the Sea.

Lost Power Of Attention.
From the New York Evening Post.

The "Five-Minute Series Is one OF the
latest titles for collected short stories. 1t
Is guaranteed that the slowest readers may
get through any Of them in three hun
dred seconds. The implication Is. also,
that even the hurried American ought to
be willing to devote as much time as that
to the pursuit of a well-rounded culture.
Quick reading; quick lunch; literature
while you wait. 1t Is an inexorable ten
dency of the day. Even sermons have
had to bow to 1t, and have Topped off all
below Thirdly" College commencements
are cut down to one-quarter of the time
customary with our heroic and leisurely an
ceStors. More and more people confess
to being newspaper readers only in the
sense that they usually read the head
lines" We seem to be on the way to a
future when the news will be given in
huge posters. easily legible as one shoots
by on lightning express. and when books
will be printed in the form Of moving pic
lures.

Day Dream.

Way up yonder in the hills
Echoes caught the wild birds trills;
Every night the wind sang low
That strange song we used to know,
When We loitered by the way,
Where the butterflies so gay,
Held their revels by the stream.
Like mad fairies in a dream.
It's the song we used to hear
When the tiny brook, so clear,
Laughed and leaped beside the road.
Where so carelessly we strobe.
Clang Of bell and whistles note.
Railway train and ferry boat,
Bid us rouse ourselves anew.
For the world has work to do.
Wonder If the butterflies
Still delight some loiterer's eyes.
Wonder If the song yet thrills
Way up yonder in the hills.

The Water Supply.

The annual reports of all engineer off
GERS connected with the business of supply
ing the capital with water have for several
years been chiefly interesting because of
their repeated warnings that the limit Of
safety IS being rapidly approached in the
matter Of consumption. Col. Millcr'S latest
report, printed today. Is no exception to
the rule. He presents statistics to show
that much more water is used here per
capita than Is necessary. more than twice
as much in fact. lie AYERS that instead Of
tho 2l2 gallons day each citizen should
get along with 100 gallons. Either the con-
sumption must be lessened or the supply
must he Increased. To do the latter it is
necessary to raise the dam at Great Falls
lay a new conduit and construct a new
reservoir. To lower the consumption it is
needful only to meter the houses and other
places of water use.
Thus once more we have the water meter
suggestion. without It's logical accomp nj
ment of disclosure of the chief source of
local waste. the public departments. Col.
Miller attributes the waste In part to defec-
tive mains and service pipes defective
plumbing and willful carelessness on the
part OF the consumer Metering will not
check the two evils first named 1t may
have tendency to correct the deficiency Of
the plumbing In the residences where leaky
spigots arc now generally neglected and
necessarily flushing closets are often to
be found. 1t would be important to know,
before any move is made toward the COM
pulsory metering of all the places of con-
sumption. just what proportion of the
waste IS due to the bad condition of the
mains and service pipes. If there is way
to estimate that II should be at once en-
ployed. But even If that percentage of
waste should be shown to be normally COM
