virtual concurrence Of both parties. de-

Justice Miller opened the September term or
the Supreme Court the other day at Ithaca by
refusing all applications for citizenship In
defending that action the judge said:

TOLERATING THE NTOLER4BLE.

The agreeable announcement was made last
week that the Passaic Valley Sewerage Com
mission, which has in charge the work of re-
deeming the lower Passaic River In New Jer-
sey from the condition of a particularly foul
and offensive open sewer and making the re-
aion along It's banks once more habitable by
human beings, has engaged a well known and
highly competent civil engineer TO make prelin-
mary surveys and estimates Of the cost of the
work which is contemplated. That gives
newed promise of relief from an abOminable
nuisance Also as the story tellers say, 1t re-
minds US.
1t was about eleven years ago that the city
of Newark and other communities in that re-
gion awoke TO a realization of the fact that
the Passaic River was in a disgusting condi-
ton. which was a cause Of discomfort, disease
and much pecuniary loss, and they declared
with one voice that something must be dono
about it right away. 1t was absolutely intol-
cradle that such state of affairs should be
permitted to exist longer than the shortest
possible time in which it could be remeded.
The Tribune took an early and earnest inter-
est IN the matter, and frequently urged he
desirablty of prompt relief, but we have a
vivid recollection that 1t was more than once
bitterly criticised because it counseled such
discreet deliberation as would insure not merely
the speedlest, but the best, method of abating
the evil It was complained that The Tribunes
policy might involve delay Of months, per-
haps of q year. and that was not to be contem-
plated with equanimity or patience. The con-
ditions were so utterly intolerable that there
must be instant relief, no matter whether the
best plan were followed not.
Eleven years ago, that was. And for all
those eleven years the intolerable has been toll
Grated, and to-day the nuisance, which is far
greater than it was then, is no nearer abate-
ment than it was then, SO far as actual work
is concerned Those who were in desperate
a hurry that they could not wait for the best
plan but must have the quickest, even If it
were the worst have waited two three times
as long as would have been necessary for the
ascertainment and completion Of the best plan.
and are still waiting. We do not know that
they have waited patiently. We do not know
that the delay has been their fault. But it is
certain that the intoierable has been tolerated
in an increasingly aggravated FORM all these
years and there is reason 10 think that the
delay would have been less-it could not we'll
have been mOre-if the more deliberate and
| thoughtful policy advocated by this paper had
been adopted at the outset.
However, we have no mind to reproach our
neighbo1 too severely for most that have
said OF the delay over the Passaic might be
almost literally applied TO that over the Brook

traffic were declared to be absolutely intol-

SPLFENS FOR THE SPLENETIC

A use has at last been found for the spleen.
whose purpose has so long puzzled science
Why the spleen? psychologists and physicians
have been asking each other, until the organ
babe fair to be natures great riddle But a
Boston doctor. graduate of the Harvard Med
ical School has solved IT, and, like all the other
great questions that have bothered mankind for
generations, it seems perfectly simple now that
it is answered The spleen is to eat. That is
all there Is to the mystery. So we can imagine
that the world for n century more wrinkled
its brows in contemplation and asked why Is
the ovster?" Doubtless that question was the
riddle Of that days rudImentary science until
some investigator performed a clinical expert
ment upon the molusk mystery, since when the
"R" months have been blessed above the rest OF
the year.
But no one will pretend that though the
spleen is TO eat It viii make, with diamond
back terrapin and canvasback ducks, third In
the triad OF our most luscious comestibles. 1t
Is not well that there should be third. Man

ment
The discovery that the spleen is so valuable

worlds history when 1t is most opportune. Om-
