SUPERVISING SEWAGE DISPOSAL.

DR.. Eugene H. Porter, Commissioner of
Health for Nev-York State. finds in the mortal
itv from typhoid fever last year an extremely
suggestive text In his annual report he attrlD-
uteS nearly all of the deaths from that disease
which were reported in 1906 70 impure drinking
water and hence 10 an imperfect prohibition OF
the discharge of sewage into streams. DR..
Porter then asks that larger sums Of money
than have been at his disposal hitherto be ap-
propriated TO enable him more satisfactorily 10
perform the duties which have been or may be
imposed Oh him by law. Furthermore he ex-
presses the conviction that no new plant for the
disposal Of sewage should be established until
the plans for il have been considered and ap-
proved by the State Commissioner, and also that
all such systems in the state should be exam
ined al least once q year. so as 10 insure the
maintenance Of the safeguards adopted for the
protection of public water supplies.
To give TO the State Commissioner of Health
the powers here referred 10 new legislation is
necessary. and Dr. Porter explicitly asks that
they be intrusted 10 him. The request is one
which the legislature should grant without delay.
At present this official is authorized only TO
collect information" about disease 10 invest-
gate the causes Of epidemics within his jurisdic-

IRELAND AT WESTMINSTER.

The s,,,,c,es+iva remark is made In the news
dispatches describing the gathering OF the ne"
Imperial Parliament at Westminster thAL III
the aspect of the House of Commons every
thing had changed since the last FarIiaihenl Ga
cept the group of Nationalist members mat
is unite true The political complexion of the
House has changed as ii has seldom done De-
fore in all the history OF that Mother OF far-
uaments" Nearly one-han the mempers are
new men who never sat In Parliament before
Well known faces oldtime leaders, are missing
The government bench is occupied largely Dy
strangers. But one part of the House remains
unchanged, almost precisely as it was and as
II has been for a score of years. Ihe Hlsn
contingent below the gangway has scarcely
been affected in numbers or in personality by
q revolution otherwise one of the most sweep
ing the United Kingdom has ever known
In that fact there is food for thought The
question arises, however, and is, indeed, ralseu
nv some of the Irish leaders themselves
whether there has been change IN the Ma
tionalst spirit. Does Nationalsm mean What II
has hitherto meant-secession from the United
Kfngdon? A little time ago Mr.. Redmond,
perhaps the most authoritative Of the irish
leaders was earnestly declaring that Ireland
would not abate jot or title OF heF ue-
mands-that is in ParnelIs historic words, llal
she would not be content until she had broken
the last link that bound her 10 England-and
II was confidently predicted that however MUCH
the Liberals might put Home Rule in allegiance
for campaign purposes, it would promptly be
forced 10 the front as soon as Parliament as
senbIed Yet. on the other hand, here IS MI
O'Brien who is second only to Mr.. Redmond
in technical authority, and who is, perhaps, IN
rivaIled as an exponent of the real sentiment
of Ireland declaring that the Nationalist have
assumed a new attitude. have adopted pol
lev of Cancellation and have Joined forces with
the Protestants and Orangemen in the promo
ton of that new policy
We cannot doubt Mr.. O'BTien's knowledge or
his sincerity If his statement is true, then
there has been as profound a change in the
spirit and purpose Of the Irish section or the
House as there has been in the political COM
plexion and the personal composition OF the
rest Of that body. Such a change must be re-
carded as most significant. The cause Of it
NAV be matter of speculation. Not tmproba-
hlv ii IS 10 be found in the sweeping character
of the Liberal victory. The Irish may realize
their impotence in the face Of clear Liberal
ma iortv Of fourscore over all and therefore de-
eide 10 make the best Of the situation with q
conciIiatory policy. But whether that or some
thing else be the cause of it, the change dis
cerned by Mr. O'Brien. if made effective Will

eminent and Of much real advantage for Ire
