water-nothing but high and holy
satisfaction with the splendid record
oc the American" administration in
carrying out it's plan for the additional
water supply.
Time has justified every step in the
work of the Morris administration re-
Iating to the Big Cottonwood under
taking; il has shown the wisdom Of
securing the water rights when they
were secured and in the method of the
transaction; it has shown that the
plans for the distribution Of the water
were well conceived and properly ma
tured; that the expense was small
compared with the real value OF the
water acquired, and that they are
worth more, much more now. than they
cost.
Incidentally it may be recalled with
satisfaction that the Utah Light &
Railway company's sale to E. H. Har-
riman and the subsequent certainty
that the system win be modernized.
were made possible only by the city's
extension of the company's franchises
which originated in the negotiations for
Big Cottonwood water. Both in the
matter of water rights and in the
promise OF great street railway and
interurban system, the credit is en-
tirely and solely due to the Morris adj
ministration.

COOLING WITH FIRE.

Acting in pursuance of a plan pro-
posed some time ago by the Smoot ma
chine of the Republican party. bill is
before the legislature which is intend
ed TO take away from Salt Lake City
that part OF its government which
pertains to the administration of police
and fire department affairs. Briefly
stated, it provides for the appointment
by the governor of a commission Of re-
sidents who are to name the police Of
ficials. select policemen and control the
affairs of the department. displacing
the present authorities who are APP
pointed by the mayor and confirmed
by the council.
There is no defense to be offered in
behalf of the present chief of police
or his methods. He was appointed as
reward for personal and political SER
vices rendered 10 the American" party
and it's leaders. He has made his de-
partment a branch of the party which
appointed him. His connection with
the notorious McWhirter case demon
strated completely his unfitness for the
responsible position he holds. In cases
the department, It is charged, has been
used to punish men who refused to
contribute campaign funds TO the par
~ now in power. Wholly bad, wholly
unworthy the confidence of the people.
the record of this particular branch of
the public service is indefensible.
Granting all that has been or may
be said in criticism of Sheets and his
people of Salt Lake alone are response
BILE, and they alone should retain the
right to- administer the correction of
abuses. 1t is contrary TO established
usage, contrary TO the spirit OF local
! self-government, to deprive a city of
Salt Lakes size and Importance of the
right to administer its own affairs in
| it's own way. 1t can accomplish no par
J ticular good, and it is very doubtful
whether police department managed
! by appointees of the dominant state
machine would be much of an improve
ment on the ThOmpSon-Sheet regime.
| Everybody understands perfectly
well that the bill is a partisan measure
| for partisan purposes; that it is meant
1 to give the state machine control of an
! important department in order to use
that department for the political power
which attaches to it. In Pennsylvania
| the legislature tried such an expert
ment i'm Pittsburg with much the same
political object. 1t was called the rip
! per- bill because it was intended to
rip up one political faction for the ben
eft of another; and the measure was
so unpopular that its promoters were
glad to disown it before they had gone
far In their project.
The Herald would like 10 see a re-
form in the police department under
an entirely new regime. 1t believes
such a reform will be instituted in due
time by the citizens Of Salt Lake. and
that it is better 20 tolerate conditions
az they are than experiment with gov
eminent of the city by legislature OF
legislative action. Moreover, as a po-
litical move, the Republican machine
ought to be wise enough to see that II
is fooling with fire and that the peo-
pie OF Salt Lake viii resent deeply
any proposal 20 limit their control OF
their own business.

WOmen IN Panic When Pilot House
of CrO7cded Boat Burns.

fire on the Jersey Central ferryboat Wilkes
Barre caused a panic among the women passen-
gers of the boat at 80 o'clock yesterday after
noon. only the GOODNESS and seIf-possession Of
the boats crew and the men on board prevented
many women from jumping overheard The fire
started I'm and was confined 10 the rear pilot
house. The boats crew, after twenty minutes
work, succeeded in extinguishng the flames
and the boat meanwhile put back into her Man
haitian slip at West 25d street The loss was
5000
The Wilkes Barre had just turned into mid
stream ON her trip to Jersey city when Captain
Smith looking from the forward pilot house, saw
clouds of smoke curling up from the rear pilot
house and flames leapiug from the windows. As
the boat was only about nifty yards from her
gines TO be reversed. The captain then gave the
signal for "All hands to quarters"
Captain Smith ordered one of the ferry hands
to take charge Of bucket brigade to fight the
spread of the flames Patrolman Kirke. of the
West goth street station, saw the flames leapinG
from the pilot house. and as the boat put
ting back TO New York he turned in n fire alarm.
Many Of the women who make the trip every
day recognized the signal "All hands To quar-
ters' and realized that something must be
wrong. Those who recognized the signal
screamed. and n panic started among the other
women. A moment later the women passengers
learned that the boat was on fire and the panic
became wild. The two hundred women passen-
gers Immediately rushed to the deck.
Several of the crew and men passengers tried
to assure the women that there was no danger,
but they refused to listen. At last one of the
crew said that the boat under full steam
and running for the New York slip. The women
huddled together In a frightened bunch on the
deck.
As soon as the boat bumped into her slip and
had been tied up the gates were opened and the
fireboat George B. Mcclellan reached the slip
after the fire was all over. 1t was caused by de-
that the trip to Jersey city was made There the
boat laid up for repairs.
