"REFoRM" MOVE.

The proposal of the American" city
council to make Pat Moran a further
donation of s., $50 as a bonus for COM
pleting his conduit contract sixty-one
days ahead of time is in line with the
councils attitude toward all of Mo-
rams public work. To be sure, such
proposal ought TO have come from the
board of public works on records
kept by it, but such a small matter as
regularity of procedure has nothing to
do with the plans of the Americans"
In the council. Moran needs, or wants
the money; the city has the money; it
costs the council nothing TO vote the
money; we'll give it to him." is the
system of reasoning. The approval or
disapproval of the mayor or the board
of public works is immaterial to A. ].
Davis, T. r. Black and Crabtree. the
committee which recommends the do
nation.
There are several peculiar things
about this bonus business. not the least
peculiar of which is the record of
oral" notices TO Moran by the city en-
gineer. the letter written some months
after the nominal date on it, the work
done az a temperature below that stip-
ulated in the contract and other similar
details. Coming, as it does, on top OF
the supplementary contract with Mo-
ran which enabled him TO make the
conduit hold water by plastering it In
side-at the city's expense, of course
the taxpayer may be pardoned for sus-
pecting the existence of a cOlOred gen.
tleman in the woodpile. And if there
We're no other ground for suspicion, the
ardent championship of the job as
sumed by Davis and Black and Crab
tree would of itself suffice TO stimulate
inquiry as to the reason for the dona'
ton.
A reform council, bent on raising
the standards of honesty and virtue il
public life, has done about as much a
possible TO discredit the motives of tn
party and nuIlify its professions. Nine

MANNING THE COLORADO.

Mr.. Harriman's prompt response to
the presidents somewhat peremptory
demand that he close the gap in the
Colorado river which is threatening an
inundation of the Salton SEA- basin is
Enthusiastically energetic and effect
i've. The company primarily RESPONSE
bile for the overflow is none of MIR.
Harriman's, but he has directed the
Southern Pacific to fill the breach, and
il is being done as fast as men AMI ma
terial can DO it.
The country inundated lies to the
the Mexican line. In area the lands
threatened equal some of the larger
states, and if the river were permitted
to continue unh1ndered it would make
lake so large and so deep that en-
gineers estimate it would require fifteen
years for II TO eYaporate after the ba-
sin had been filled. The trouble began
originally with the destruction of head
gates for an irrigation canal. The gates
were not sufficiently strong. and wheT
they washed out a creyasse in the bank
allowed the river to follow an old chan
mel which originally had made as inland
sea In the basin. Indians OF the regIor
insist that their forebears saw the
early Spanish ships sail over what I:
now dry land below sea level. The sol
is very rich and bottomless in depth
and in recent years under irrigation ha:
developed great agricultural wealth
The damage that would be done L
property if the break were not repaired
has been estimated in the millions.

IN AMERICAN SCHOOLS.

Alfred Mosely, the English philan-
thropist who is sending a number OF
teachers from England to study Amer
lean schools and educational methods.
gives an interesting explanation of his
admiration for Americans and Amer
lean ways of doing things. Some twenty
years ago Mr.. Mosely was associated
with diamond diggers in South Africa.
Their methods of mining We're crude
and their undertakings unsuccessful I'M
til American mining engineers CAME
along and showed them how to operate
their properties profitably. Mr.. Moseiy
SAYS that these Americans deserve the
ca on a scientific basis, and he was so
impressed with their skill that he was
curious to know about the system that
produced such men. lie came to Amer
lea expressly to study the country for
himself, and was astonished at the thor
oughness of the schools, the initiative
and Independence of the men who went
through them, and he concluded he had
discovered the secret of American sue
cess in mining and bther fields of ac-
tivity.
Mr. Mosely sets forth more clearly
perhaps than Americans themselves see
| it the value of the democratic theory
and practice in education. The boy who
goes through an American public school
| learns that his real worth is the only
standard of judgment: that labor to be
successful must be intelligent, and that
the man who can do things is the one
who gets there. Moreover, he learns
the value of initiative, of meeting emer-
| gencies quickly and of devising eSpe-
dents from. whatever material may be
at hand. He sees that men like John
HAYS Hammond, the late Victor Glenn
ent and a score of others who are pro-
ducts Of the American system stand ut
the head Of their profession the world
over, and he knows that they won be-
cause they deserved to, and not because
they relied upon some one else to make
the way easy for them.
! The American system is not perfec'
vet: it has much to learn of the Ger
mans in their thoroughness. and of the
French in their arts, but so long as il
gets results and produces efficiency il
is in the right way to meet the demands
of the world.

ADJUSTMENT OF
TROUBLE LIKELY
It is Said That City and Pan
handle Are on Fair Way
Toward Settlement.
BOARD WOULD KNOW COST
MEMBERS OF BOARD OF WORKS
DON'T WANT CONSTRUCTION
TO BEGIN TILL THEY KNOW
NEEDED EXPENDITURE.

Though the agreement has not
been drawn up and signed by the rail-
road representatives and by the city's
officers it is said to be practically GER
tain now, that there will be a salts
factory adjustment of the differences
between the city and the Pennsyiva-
mia railroad company relative to the
opening of West Second street ana
the manner by which the contracts
for the superstructures or the Two
subways shall be let. The Board OF
Works and the railroad officials have
had several meetings and there was
disposition on the part OF both SIDES
TO reach an agreement which both
could subscribe to and which would
meet with the approval of the cltlz-
ems.
One thing the Board desires to as
certain before the work is begun. Is
lust what the cost of the subwayS
will be- If the contracts for these
were to be let by the railroad COM
pany without the city having an I'M
derstanding as to the cost, it might
be ascertained after the work was
well under way that even the forty
per cent of the total of the street OPP
ening which the city will pay, would
be in excess of what the board thinks
should be expended The Board of
Works comedies to the Pennsylvania
the right to devise plans for the SUI
perstructure of the subways and to
let the contract, but it believes that
before there is any move made to
Il 10 III
termined just what the entire i'm
provement will cost. Estimates as to
the cost of the opening of the street,
the putting in of cutters, curbs and
sidewalks, can be made with much
accuracy, but an estimate on the
bridge construction might prove al
together inaccurate.
1t is said that the agreement which
is now being drawn up will provide
that bids shall be asked for on the
building of the subway superstruc-
lures and the city be given an oppor-
tunity of seeing just what the ex-
pense will be. If the cost is regard
ed as excessive, there can be some
remedy, perhaps, whereby different
sort of structure may be built at a
less cost. If the city should tie itself
to an agreement as recently proposed
by the Pennsylvania, there would be
no recourse even though the cost of
the subway SuperstructureS should
prove much too great. The railroad
representatives appeared, it is said,
to appreciate the attitude of the
Board of Works and there is a decid-
ed effort being made to draw up an
agreement that will be satisfactory
to both sides.
