even II New York had never wanted the water
Of those streams 10 be kept pure for It's drink

as much right to their natural drainage as other
nIaces have. and it is not unreasonable for them

FINALLY. there are those who call for filtration
of all the water at Jerome Park as the only
means of insurlng purity We shall perhaps
have to come TO that in the end and it may pc
that it would be the point Of wisdom to proceed
with it very soon, or even at once. But, seeing
that the cost of inspection and sewerage OF the
Croton region would be only One-tenth as much
as the estimates for the filtration plant, it would
seem to be the part of wisdom to adopt them
first. as il would also seem to be more logical
to try to preserve the water in it's pristine pur-
itv at its source than to permit it to suffer all
manner of defement and then trust to the EN-
cacy Of filtration to make II pure again. Bet
ter keep it pure than let it get dirty ana then
purify it. Moreover, when filtration is resorted
to there should be no mistake as to the method.
1t would be deplOrable TO have the city spend
many millions on a system which was oDsoles-
cent, even if fairly effective, when some more
modern scientific method would afford at least
equal efficiency at vastly less cost. The impor-
lance Of pure water is. however, so great that
we believe any necessary labor and expense for
securing it will be justified, even if all three of
the plans suggested should be adopted concur
rently What is certain is that the water Is
pure when 1t flows from the springs. The first
thing naturally is to guard IL from wantOn or
needless contamination. The second is to pro-
vide such artificial drainage facilities as Will
keep out OF 1t the legitimate sewage Of the COM
munIties in that region. The third is TO provide
means for giving the water when it reaches the
city reservoirs such publication as, in spite of
those precautions. it may still need.

GALUSHA. A. GROW.

The death of Galusha A. Grow terminates a
career in politics Of unusual length and excep-
uonal interest His appearance on the national
stage antedated that of any man now in public
life. He was probably when he died the last
surviving member Of the first three or even the
first four Congresses to which he was elected.
He was only twenty-slx years old when he was
chosen to succeed David WilmOt as the Repre-
sentative from the Susquehanna. Tloga and
Bradford district in Northern Pennsylvania He
was the youngest member of the Congress Of
1S5l5S. Yet before he had reached thirty-fve
he had become figure of national Importance,
first as a follower Of WilmOt and a Democratic
opponent of the extension OF the slave system,
ana then as leader In the newly formed Re
publican party. At thirty seven, when he was
elected Speaker of the House of Representatives
in the first war Congress- his career seemed to
eliminate. Thereafter, though his political ac-
tivities continued with Interruptions due to III
health for over forty years, he continued to COM
mand respect and exercise influence chiefly as a
factor In the struggle against slavery and fig
ure Of the stirring and heroic past
Mr.. Grows services In that struggle were
great. He represented at the outset Democrat
&c constituency and a Democratic state. Penn
sylyania abandoned federalism and gladly ac-
cepted JeffersOn's teachings because she found
them IN consOnance with her own democratic
instincts. But her people were roOtedly hostile
TO the slave system and Democrats like WiImot
and Grow faithfully reflected local feeling In
striving 20 check the expansion of the slave
power. They paved the way for the creation In
the most important Democratic state in the
North OF a party devoted TO the cause OF free
soil and free labor. It was Mr.. Grows convic-
ton that that cause could be helped materially
BY the rapid settlement of the Western States,
and from the day Of his entry into Congress he

TIE PRRSIDENT,s ATTITUDE.

President Roosevelt has wisely met the re-
quest Of the Illinois Manufacturers AssOCia-
ton for speech on the railroad situation by
laying before that association his already well
known and carefully formulated opinions on the
problem of railroad regulation. He has not
deemed it advisable to respond directly to the
entreaty that he would treasure" the cOun-
Try, but he has invited all concerned 70 reas-
sure themselves by recalling his former utter
ances. The suggestion made in certain quar-
ters that the business world was anxiOusly
awaiting some new message from the President
was based on the assumption that the Presi-
dents attitude or policies had had a disturb
ing effect and needed to be restated in order
10 allay apprehension. 1t is clear, on the con-
trary, to any one who analyses the perturbA-
tons said to be affecting the world Of business
and finance that these tremOrs are in no wise
due to President ROOsevelt's programme Of rail-
road regulation. That programme is not new.
1t has been developing for several years. and
the railroads and all those who do business
with the railroads have had ample time in
which to familiarize themselves with it and
adjust themselves to It's demands.
Congress spent the greater part of the ses-
sion Of 1005-'06 in discussing railroad rate regu-
latlOn and finally passed bill champiOned by
the President. The representatives Of both par
ties Ia the House and Senate voted with pFac-
teal unanimity for the Hepburn bill. The voters
Of the country have shown, wherever they have
had chance, that they cordially approve the
Presidents proposals for a square dear in
railroad rates and management What the
President urged in 19O3 1904 1905 and 1905
he stands for now, and anybody who feels any
uncertainty about his attitude has only TO turn
to his repeated official dellverances.
We cannot imagine that the recent furry In
Wall Street was caused by a belated perusal
on the part OF the investing public OF Mr..
ROOseVelt's messages and addresses. The ideas
which they contain did not all OF a sudden
upset the market. The President is therefore
In no way accountable for the recent panic.
nor is he under an obligation 10 exercise the
evil spirits responsible FOR the disturbance. It
Is not his programme which is exciting unrest
and skepticism and clOuding the hopes OF Sc
curlty holders We are disposed 10 think that
the dscoura cement in question has resulted
more from popular dissatisfaction over disclos-
ures OF the mysteries OF railroad management
than from any discomfort with measures which
aim at extending publicity In railroad man
agement and protecting 10 the full the rights

FOR PURE WATER.

The revelations OF disgusting and dangerous
conditions IN the CrOtOn watershed which The
Tribune has exclusively been making during
the last fortnight have aroused public sentiment
and Official activity as they have not been
aroused for years, and the demand now seems
% be irresistible that something shall be done
radically 70 reform the situation. It is intoler-
able that this city, after millions OF dollars
have been spent for securing pure water sup
ply, should be compelled to drink water contain
mated by the drainage Of typhoid stricken
camps and the overflow Of clubhouse vaults and
cesspOOls. That It has for some time suffered
such cOmpulsiOD II is no exaggeration to say.
The Tribune has exposed beyond dispute or
challenge, the fact that a number OF typhoid
cases occurred directly on the banks OF one OF
the chief tributaries OF the CrOton, and that
they were wantOnly concealed from those au-
thOTities who ought first OF all TO have been
fully Informed OF them. II has also shown that
the sewage Of the squalId foreign quarter OF one
81 the largest villages In that region Is still
flowing directly into a tributary OF the Croton.
as u has been doing for years and as The Trlb-
une has many times before this reminded the
authorities OF this city IL is doing.
The demand Is, then, that something he done
70 ahate these nuisances. but the question Is
what that thing shall be. Opinion Is divided
Some say there should be more adequate inspec-
ton ana policing OF the CrotOn region I'VE
think there should be. and that In that way some
abuses could be stopped-as the use OF Cross
River for q laundry tub and bathtub was
stopped AZ The Tribunes urging But inspection
without plenary power would be OF little avail
and no inspection, however powerful, would be
