Boil the Water.

At this season there is particular nceo
of precaution in the matter of the drinking
water. The hills of the watershed are sof-
tened by the thaws and the rains and the
soil is being washed down into the streams
and thence into the water supply in quanti-
ties and from sources calculated to arouse
serious question as to the wholesomeness "f
imbibng the water. Until the filtration
plant is established in good working order
there is only one safe rule to be followed:
Boil all the water taken from the pipes
for drinking purposes. In this way Will the
harmful bacilli be surely exterminated
1t is not difficult to boil all the water, ana
certainly, when the risk of typhoid Is con-
sidered, this is very simple process LOT
the sake of safety. There may be no ty-
phoid-infected water coming through the
pipes, but there is certainly quantity Oh
dirty water that bears evidences of having
been polluted with all sorts of soil sediment
The boiling will to large extent facintate
the precipitation Of this sediment, and at
the same time it will absolutely XIII the
harmful bacteria held in suspension.

OF course. public thoroughfares, but the mu-'
nicipality undoubtedly has the right to reg
ulate the traffic. 1t can and does prescribe
certain excessive speeds. 1t can and does
prohibit altogether the hauling of certain
offensive materials through the streets save
in the most tightly closed receptacles. 1t
can and does prescribe the width of tire for
heavy traffic. 1t can direct the routes of
certain lines of trucking. 1t can and does
regulate the direction in which vehicles
shall move along the streets. It's jurisdfc-
ton over the thoroughfares is very broad.
The municipality undoubtedly has the
right and the power to stipulate that even
in the prosecution of necessary works the
fouling of the pavement shall be prevented
to the limits of mechanical ingenuity. re-
gardless of the expense to individuals. TIE
public health is involved, and the only ques-
ton in the premises is whether the direct
agents of the fouling shall bear the respon-
s.bility of preventing the dropping of dirt.
and perhaps the cost of cleaning it up If
this dropping cannot be prevented. If
dirt-tight wagon cannot be found special
arrangements should be devised to require
the contractors engaged In such work to
clean up after their wagons. not perfume
torily. as was the case last year. but th>r-
oughly. with sufficient guarantees TO ensure
cleanliness.
The District does not and should not ask
the contractors to sweep it's streets for it.
But it does demand that all street fouling
incidental to certain enterprises, whether
the hauling of dirt from excavations or coal
from the dumps and yards. should be cured
by those who cause it, either by direct labor
under official supervision or by proper con-
tributons to the street cleaning fund in the
form of license fees for permits

Gessler Rosseau, as the man who tried TO
destroy the statue of Frederick the Great
in this city calls himself, was yesterday
convicted in New York of sending box OF
dynamite to the steamship Umbria two
years ago. He admitted sending the box
to the steamship wharf. but declared that
1t was harmless. and was intended only as
frightening demonstration to the British
government. that the destruction of the
English ships by such means was possible
He had cooked" the dynamite. he claimed.
by exposing it to heat to eyaporate the
nitro-glycerine, thus rendering the contain
ing sawdust and paper non-explosive. Not
withstanding this defense. the man was
promptly convicted by the jury. although
the judge intimated in his charge that he
might be acquitted If he knew the stuff was
not really dynamite.
1t would seem as though justice has been
done in this case, even though Rosseau had
in fact evaporated the explosive substance
and the box was as innocent as a package
of plain sawdust. Whatever his purpose, to
enjoy in secret the sensation his act had
caused, to brighten the British government
or to destroy the ship. his motive was malev-
o!ent. No possible good could flow from
a demonstration of the ease with which an
Internal machine could be Smuggled on
board liner. Freight must be received
by these vessels, and even with rigid in
spection it is impossible that the exact con-
tents of every package shall be positively
known to the ships officers before it is
stored in the hold. A demonstration" to
England would not result in reforms that
would benefit the travelling public. and it
Is absurd TO suppose that fake or even a
genuine internal machine stored on trans
Atlantic liner would swerve a government
from fixed political policy.
Such men as Rosseau are dangerous to So
ciety with their demonstrations and their
senseless attempts to njure the prestige of
governments. His acknowledged work at
the statue in this city was of a kind to
cause bitterness in Germany against the
United States if it had succeeded. No man
can handle dynamite. cooked or uncooked.
in the propa cation of theories or the ex-
preston of hatreds, without endangering
the foundations of the social organization,
and the sooner he is detected and put away
the better.

Mr.. Roosevelt and 1908.
Saws the New York World:

Says the New YORK NOflu.
Theodore Roosevelt will be renominated
for President of the United States In 19OS.
and he will be reelected.
Through his domination of the party
organization and his control Of the Post
Office Department Mr.. Roosevelt already
has the nomination in his own hands There
will be trouble about obtaining a major
lily of the delegates in the national conven-
ton
He will be re-elected-not merely because
he is the idol of the people or on account
of his virtues or by reason of the mistakes
that add to his popularity. but because
there will he no real opposition. The demo-
cratic party is and will be hopelessly divided
against itself
The World is mo admirer of Mr.. Roose-
Welt" 1t has often impeached both his
judgment and his sincerity. and 1t tried to
defeat him last year on the allegation that.
through Mr.. Cortelyou, he was manipulat-
ing the trusts for campaign money In
substance this charge is that through MIR.
Cortelyou he will manipulate the patronage
of the government to bring about his re-
nomination and reelection. And yet MT.

removed himself completely from the caicu-

Had he remained silent they would un

He confessed. as the World now does. that
the democracy is still seriously divided
II cannot hope to win in 1905 with a candi-
date of its own. The World does not go g
far as the Tammany man. but 1t agrees
with him as to the democratic outlook.
Why are these two democratic leaders so
willing to confess defeat in 1903 when there
are three years of strenuous politics and a
congressional national campaign to inter-
vene?
1t is strange play. made at a time when
things have scarcely begun to take shape
