worthy Of that honor Should II be
desirable TO elect a Democratic Mayor

therefore. IL goes without saying that
Captain Wilson will be elected.
II is no qualification TO beat an un-

known that a wcll-known young lady
OF the First ward, daughter OF a former
prominent business man, had recalled
the invitations FOR her marriage to a
prominent resident OF lower Maryland.

IT was asserted that the reason she
changed her mind ON the eve OF send

because she wanted a younger man."
From what can be learned. the pros

IA, r cannot give an expert opinion
w on the proposition to build a
special water main to supply the chief
manufacturing plants OF this city with
unnitered water but we are entitled to
guess anyway. and our guess is that
the expense would be greater than to
supply them with filtered water.
In the first place. the manufacturing
plants are rather widely scattered, and
in equity we should have TO treat all
alike n there Is to be lower rate,
an would demand e. and Il part get
the best water at a reduced rate. an
would insist on having &C.
We should have two sets OF water
mains and two sets Of pipes for the
manufacturing plants. since they
wouad require the filtered water as wen
as the unnltered.
In cities where there Is great con-
eestion and where billions worth Of
property is piled up 10 a few squares.
special mains for unnltered water may
be laid Tor fire or manufacturing pur-
poses. but in our opinion this duplica-
ton in this city would be a waste Of
money.

A per.i.tent Fighter.

The measures Of Wilberforce In the
British house Of commons for the abol-
ishing Of the British slave trade had a
hard struggle before they finally pre-
vailed. On Feb. 10. 1905, Wilberforce
moved without entering into any ar
gument" for a bill to abolish the slave
trade after a limited time and for a
committee TO consider its propriety.
He had been introducing such a bill
almost every year for fifteen years, al
though his twelve resolutions against
the traffic were carried IN 1889 without
a division. But year after year the bill
came TO wreck, either IN the house Of
lords or the commons, suffering defeat
in lT90 because several OF its support
ers had gone TO see a new comic opera.
II was doomed 10 disaster again in
1905, but finally triumphed IN 1907.

EDITORIAL OPINION
Fate Of Mecca.

From the Buffalo Express.
II would be little short Of wonderful If
the Arabs in Yemen and Hediaz should
regain independence and their control OF
Mecca Yet the news OF the revolt in
Yemen suggests the possibility Of such a
development. BY obtaining control Of
the powerful tribes OF Koreish. living in
Yemen. Mahomet was enabled TO conquer
the other detached tribes Of the Arabian
peninsula and his followers TO carry the
propaganda westward through North
orn Africa and into the Iberian Peninsula.
With tho rise Of Mohammedan power in
the west, Arabia declined and eventually
the country was again broken up into
petty States. II was in 1870 that the tribes
in Yemen and Hediaz formally recogniz-
cd the suzerainty OF the Sultan, but sixty
years later the tribesmen regained their
independence, and not until 1871 was the
last native ruler Ia Yemen overthrown. If
the revolt succeeds IN Yemen. It Will
spread TO Hediaz. IN which province is
Mecca, and probably viii be successful
there. But it may confidently be expected
that tho Sultan will turn all the forces
he can raise into Yemen and Hedjaz. for
he cannot lose the latter province with
out losing control Of the most holy city of
Mohammedanism There have been in
Vulnerable revolts in Yemen. but none in
recent years has approached IN import
ance the present one. The possibilities
which lie iu d and the vast number of
people who are concerned IN the fate Of
Mecca give IL an extraordinary interest.

travel across the earth at velocitles
varying between several hundred and

greater being the velocity. The sea
waves that frequently accompany
earthquakes also travel at tremendous
speeds. A submarine earthquake near
the coast OF Japan In 1854 gave rise to
sea waves which traversed the whole
breadth Of the Pacific at the rate OF
$40 miles an hour. At Simoda, Japan,
the waves from this earthquake were
thirty feet high. At San Diego, Cal,
they were only six inches high.

forgetfulness is a common fault. IN

forget that they have memories. They
never use them. There are so few real

believing that we are a nation OF people
with communicating ears, so that
sounds pass through from one to the
