SATURDAY, February IS, 1905.

Senator Kearns' of Utah, thought he had Arizona on the hip, when the vote on statehood was taken, and submitted an amendment for the elimination of Arizona from jointure with New Mexi- co, for which he proposed to vote, in consideration of Utah being ceded the big strip of land north of the Colorado river, which now belongs to this terri tory. Kearns got mixed in his dates and now declares that he did not vote in the affirmative on the New Mexico statehood measure. The Utah people have been trying for years to get pos session of our northern strip and are willing at any time to stoOp to any low down measure to get it, Utah is large enough as it Is, but if the people of that state really want more land why are they not honest and offer pay for it as honest people should. Mo have county has large indebtedness, as has Coconino, the two counties from which the lands are proposed to be taken, and these counties are will ing to part with them in consideration of the payment of all outstanding debts. We do not believe that con gress will ever partition this territory unless with the consent of our people.

The first step towards obtaining ad- ditional reservoirs for our water sys- tenn was taken by the council this week, and is step in the right. direction. The SUN has urged, at various times, that other reservoirs be built, and is still of the opinion that there should be more storage of water; perhaps not as great as the council proposes, but enough to have plenty of water in storage during the time there is but little flow from the head of the water system. The action of the council in this direction will, no doubt, receive the hearty cooperation of our tax payers.

A man in a neighboring town who secured his wife through a matrimoni- al agency is trying to secure a divorce. Just another instance of finding that mail order bar gains are not just as represented and that much better grade of the same article could have been obtained at home. Good enough for him; he ought to patronize home industry. The home grown article is usually the best.

GRAND
JURYS SERIOUS CHARGES
The Foreman Is Isaac T.
Johnson, Formerly Principal
of Friends School Here

Philadelphia, Feb Att is therefore
with regret that this Grand Jury is led
to believe that the responsibility for the
increase and continuance Of the social evil
in Philadelphia, contrary to all laws and
public opinion, lies Immediately with the
Director Of Public Safety"
This declaration is made by a present
ment made yesterday by the January
Grani Jury. The presentment charges
high police officials with either protecting
or countenancing the hundreds Of dis
reputable houses, speaixeasies and gamb-
ling dens that exist especially in the
Twelfth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth
wards.
Isaac T. Johnson, the foreman of the
grand jury is treasurer of the John c.
Winston Company, publishers. He is
prominent as an educator. and for many
years was principal of the Friends School
in Wilmington.
When the Grand Judy first appeared in
court, Mr.. Johnson asked to be excused
from service, but Judge Audenried de-
clined to permit it. Judge Audenried then
said: you are too good a citizen. You
are the kind Of man to act as foreman.
The city needs you"
The white slave evil is laid bare, the pre-
sentiment going so far as to say that
policemen testified that they know dis
reputable houses are open, that they so
report to their superiors, but that moth
ing is done.
When the presentment was handed to
Judge Audenried he read it from be-
ginning to end Then he said:
Let the presentment be filed. The
Grand Jury is discharged"

For the past week the stream has
been covered with ice to the depth Of a
half foot and It is with difficulty that
navigation has been kept open. In ac-
cOmplishing this fact the steamer
Brandywine. OF the Wilmington Steam

as sharp as a knife the steamer pno-
ceeds down the stream and up the Del
aware river with apparent ease.
The Brandywine is 50 constructed

Of ice she glides up on its surface and
the weight Of the boat causes her to
crush through it. She has not missed
a trip this winter.

Meteor arrived at the mouth of the
