River Publication.

People interested in the subject of
good and safe drinking water will find
some suggestive information in the
story of the fight in England against
silver pollution. A parliamentary
commission of inquiry, appointed be-
cause a strong public agitation had
arisen on the subject in 1861. re-
ported that more than 100 English
rivers were in a poisonous conc ldttionr
thru the discharge, into them Of manu-
facturers' refuse. and sewage from
towns and cities :
When action was begun to abate the
nuisance, the manufacturers opposed
1t on the ground that they had a vest
ed right In the rivers and could use
them as they pleased. They STAYED off
action ten years, but in21876 parlia-
ment passed a river po1lutions act. It
was of little use, as the municipalities
did not obey its provisions. The agf-
tation of the subject, however, COM
PEELED several county councils to act
under the law. after it had been a
dead letter for a number Of years, and,
In 1890, the important city of! Man
chester led the work of preventive
pollution Of the streams with sewage
by either chemically treating 1t before
1t entered a stream or utilizing it for
fertilizing purposes in the fields.
Public opinion sustained the river
pollutions act and It's good results are
seen in the large reduction Of the
death rate. London, which takes
water to the extent of 5000, 900 gal
Ions daily, takes 1875, 100000 gallons
from the Thames river and 100000
gallons from the river Lea, and the
remainder from springs and wells.

this subject now, with good zrgu-
ments for their position, reject the
theory of the self-purifcation OF
streams by the oxidation of organic
matter, on the ground that the real
danger is not in the organic matter
but in the living germs which are not
destroyed by the aeration Of the

WHEN DEvoNsHIRE ENvIED
HIMSELF,

In illustration of the 1avishness with
which Chatsworth house is endowed with
art treasures and of the distract element
which is supposed to be a feature of the
Duke of Devonshires mind, an amusing
story went the round of the French press
at the time Of the last Paris exhibition.
The duke, it was said, was strolling
thru the loan section of the English
exhibits with a friend and stopped to look
with admiration at porphyry table Of
matchiess beauty. He examined it long
with the eye Of a connoisseur and at last
exclaimed: wonder who is the owner
OF such beautiful specimen of workman-
ship. AMIDST feel inclined to envy him =
His companion, who had consulted the
catalog. handed it to him with a smile
1t contained the information that the table
came from Chatsworth house.. and was
lent by the Duke OF Devonshire.

e. r. tombstone, who is we'll known to
many Minneapolitans as one-time editor
of the Times, is now editor Of the Cleve-
land Leader. Under his editorship that
paper has recently issued large edition
advocating the restoration Of the Ohio
canal system. Ohio commenced the con-
struction Of system Of canals in 1925.
The Ohio and Erie canal ran across the
state from Toledo to Cincinnati. Other
waterways were constructed in the
state, representing a total expenditure Of
nearly s16,0o0.000. to- which should be
added about $1,000, 900 for maintenance.
The state was unwise enough in 1861 to
lease these canals to private parties for
a period of ten years, during which time
the canals were allowed to run down, and
have since become practically impossible.
The proposition is to restore them, and
the Leader has taken an active part in
the agitation and encouragement of that
idea. The business interests of the state
appear to be very much in earnest in favor
OF the restoration, particularly the large
manufacturing plants along the line of
these waterways, which desire an outlet
by water for their manufactured products
In the rapidly developing south.

War Correspondents Troubles.

The people who are complaining of
the contradictory reports from the
seat Of war in the orient probably do
so without much conception Of the
difficulties incurred by the correspond
ents in getting news.
Japan has hitherto vigorously ex-
cluded the correspondents from the
field of action, and has prescribed a
set Of government regulations which,
together with the Interpretation of
them by cautious Japanese authorities,
makes 1t exceedingly difficult for the
correspondents to get any news in the
first place, while the censorship on
all dispatches sent out Is so rigorous
as to make it impossible to send any
thing about actual movements and
engagements that the authorities may
not be entirely willing to have made
public. ."--.,- 49,. - s...r
A newspaper correspondent who de-
sires to accompany the Japanese ad
vance must make application thru the
consul or minister representing the
country from which he comes. None
but experienced correspondents of rep
utation will be allowed to accompany
the forces. The correspondents may
have one interpreter each, whose ca
pacity must be satisfactory to the gov
eminent. Any servant accompanying
a correspondent must be approved by
the military authorities. The number
of correspondents with the troops will
be restricted, and all war correspond
ents will be regarded as subject to
the military staffs Of the particular
division Of the army which they &C
company. They may not wear the
Japanese costume, but must wear upon
the left shoulder a white badge on
which will be printed the name Of
the newspaper represented. No cor
respondence, written or Geographic,
may be sent out until it has been sub
mitted to the military staff upon whom
the war correspondent depends. The
use Of any kind of cipher in press dis
patches Is prohibited. The corre-
spondents may use government trains
and army transports, and will be sup
piled with provisions in the field, and
the military and naval authorities are
enjoined to extend every possible cour-
tesy; but any refusal to recognize the
1, full authority at headquarters will
subject the correspondent to imme-

OF course, in all campaigns, cor
respondents accompanying troops are
required to observe military regula-
tions, but the restrictions imposed on
the enterprising and ambitious news
paper men in the east are unusually
severe and embarrassing. The great

The Curfew Ordinance VS.. HoodIumIsm.
TO tho Editor of The Journal,


The city owes a debt of gratitude to
r h e ] ourn a. for its clear, strong de-
tense Of the curfew ordinance. Alderman
WestphaIs motion to repeal and T h e
j u n a rs ringing note of warning
caused an awakening. Alderman West
phal's sagacious and diplomatic move for
it's enforcement thru a motion for repeal
was certainly very effective.
To those who are on the streets after
dark and who have open eyes and ears
1t must have become evident that the ele-
ment of "hoodlumism'' is on the increase.
Gangs" are getting more numerous and
larger. They are also getting louder and
coarser. Not only do they throw insult
Ing remarks at passersby; they throw
stones at windows and street cars and
at people. They monopolize long stretches
of sidewalk, and it is quite natural that
orderly people, and even the policeman on
the beat, prefer to take the other side of
the street as they pass.
Some OF these gangs are gambling every
night on vacant lots in full view of the
public and the police.
One night in going to church with a
friend he suddenly put his hand to his
neck with cry Of pain. He had been
hit by a stone. On the other side of the
street was a gang of boys. The stone
came from there. I left my friend and

had not expected to see. They were from
IL to 16 years old. I almost expected a
shower of stones as I left them, for I
gave them a straight talk but was per-
mitted to go in peace.
Somewhere there is something lacking
in our training Of boys. Either these.
gangs must be broken up or we must give
our street corners and our sidewalks over
to their control.
It is only natural that this condition
produces criminals among the boys. And
where Is the school where all this is
taught? The street after dark Close I'D
that school. It destroys the work of our
common schools. It is better to have a
little more "Puritanism" than hoodlum-
ism and terrorism.
