POLITICS IN THE BRONX PARKS.

There is no reason to doubt the justice of
the Civil Service Reform Associations COM
plant against Park Commissioner Berry. The
facts presented by the association make q strong
case Of violating the law by filling the depart
ment with political appo!ntees. Immediately
after his entrance into Office Mr.. Berry ap-
pointed an unusual number Of laborers In the
Bronx parks. Most Of these persons came
from Mr.. Berry's own Assembly district and
large number from Mr.. Berry's own political
club. The vouchers for the appointees were
nearly all residents Of Mr.. Berry's district and
not few of them members of his club In
deed, certain members of the club made spe-
cialty Of vouching for the candidates, the ser
geant-atarms Of the club signing the appli-
cation papers of seventeen.
Nothing else than the use OF the Bronx park
payrolls for political purposes was however, TO
be expected. When Berry was made Park
Commissioner for The Bronx he was conducting
a lively fght~against Alderman Morris for the
leadership of the 35th Assembly District. The
primaries were about fortnight off. The Mayor
had just returned from his vacation and had
thrown himself into the fight TO prevent the
city's delegates TO Buffalo from falling into
the hands of Murphy and Hearst. His first step
was to remove Park Commissioner Walgrove,
who was Haffen man and who, according to
the Mayor was working against the adminstra-
ton, and put In his place Berry, the Mcclellan
candidate for leader in the 35th. Considering
the hot fight Berry had on his hands and the
nearness Of the primaries, everybody inter
preted Berry's appointment as n notice that the
Mayor was prepared to use the municipal pat
rOnage In q very practical way to control
primaries. Everybody expected Berry to get
TO work at once and stuff the Bronx parks with
workers in his interest at the coming election
That is apparently what he did. His political
club became a sort Of park employment agency
whose officers were ready to youch for an army
of employees on their promise to vote right at
the primaries The result was q violation of the
Civil Service laws and according 10 an earlier
investigation, a stufing of the payrolls with
men who drew pay but never worked.
Mayor McClellan's appointment Of Berry was
a political appointment of the sort that IS al
ways dangerous to make, for q district leader
or an aspirant to district leadership with
fight on his hands and the primaries approach
ing is always soreIy tempted to get around the
Civil Service law Undoubtedly the Mayor ap
pointed Berry for political effect. TO warn or
encourage the hesitating by showing that he
would punish his enemies and reward his
friends, but we are not ready to assume that
the Mayor intended Mr.. Berry to apply tho
same principle in the administration of the
parks, even in violation of the Civil Service
laws After removing two commissioners for
misusing their office for political purposes the
Mayor could not have intended that their sue
cessor should also debauch the parks with poll
tics. Mr. Berry's case demands attention.
New-York tribune., 1907-07-23

There is much current talk, and some legis-
lation, looking 10 q recreation of the ancient
Lake PassaIc In Northern New Jersey. The OBJ
ject is that Of water storage for potable and
Industrial uses. OF the need OF some extern
sive system of water storage and supply in the
not distant future there can be no doubt
Eether can there be doubt Of the wisdom Of
taking prompt action to secure it before the
natural changes of time make it more diff
scult and costly. But concerning this proposed
Recreation OF Lake Passalc some pertinent and
important questions are to be considered.
It needs TO be determined at the outset
whether the proposed enterprise IS and viii
be purely chiefly for public utility or for the
private profit Of some corporation If the latter
should prove to be the case the whole scheme
might not therefore be condemned, but 1t would
certainly be regarded in a far different light
Il needs 10 be considered, too whether the Pas
sale River is the best source for a potable
water supply for the large cities Of Northeast
ern New Jersey. II Is the nearest and easiest,
no doubt It IS certainly not the purest, and
IT may not be the cheapest. From Millington
TO Chatham It is a particularly turbid and
dirty stream, every drop Of which would need
thorough filtration, and from Chatham to Little
Falls the value Of the riparian and adjacent
lands IS so great that the cost Of the lake
would be enormous. The further question
arises whether the old lake bed is the best
place for a great storage reservoir and whether
one could not be constructed to far better adj
vantage elsewhere further back among the
mountains.
II may also be worth while TO consider
whether, If the Passaic is 10 be used for storage
purposes, series Of comparatively small i'm
poundments might not be better than one huge
lake. A series OF dams OF moderate height, at
appropriate intervals from Little Falls I'D to
Millington would give enormous storage capac-
ity by simply filling and keeping full the
normal bed Of the river, without submerging
any considerable area OF land In that way
the river might be made five or six feet deeper
than II is for a distance OF forty or fifty miles,
ana half billion gallons could be stored with
out taking any riparian lands or causing any
damage 70 them. Indeed, for most Of the dis
tance such a raising OF the level Of the water
would be a distinct and very great benefit to
riparian proprietors which they would heartily
welcome Or course the principal tributaries
OF the Passaic might similarly be treated. with
advantageous results, and In this way the end
% bs gained by recreating Lake Passaio might

JAPAN AND TIE PHILIPPINES.

4 correspondent Of '"rhe Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle sends Us a clipping OF 4 letter
which he has written to that paper on the
Disposal Of the Philippines" with a request
that we reprint and comment upon IL. Briefly
stated, he suggests that the United'States should
cede the Philippines to Japan, and that in re-
turn Japan should pay the United States IN
cash the total cost Of our acquiring and holding
the islands, the amount 10 be determined by ar
bltraton If necessary; should acquesce IN what
ever immigration laws this country or any Of
It's states might enact, should adopt for herself
the United States Constitution so far as reg-
ious liberty Is concerned, and should officially
favor the acceptance Of Christianity by all the
people. Thus he concludes thousands of mill
ions Of dollars viii be saved to the taxpayers
Of the two countries through the avoidance Of
war and hundreds Of millions of souls Will be
saved from eternal hell.
We regret TO say that we cannot approve the
scheme In the first place, the United States Is
not in the real estate selling business. In the
second place. it would be a fearsome thing to
incur the wrath Of the antl-imperiallsts by thus
selling the people OF those islands TO another
government without their consent. Third, we
have no idea that the United States is in danger
Of being consumed with n desire to get rid Of
the Philippines. Fourth, we have no assurance
that Japan Is sitting up O. nights In eagerness to
acquire them In the fifth place. while we are
quite ready to submit some disputes to arbltra-
tlon, after they have inevitably occurred, we
cannot approve the creation Of disputes with
view, In advance, Of having them arbitrated
In the sixth place, we have no idea that Japan
would assent to abrogatlon of her presenE
treaty rights and to nydOus discrimination
against her hereafter Seventh, we have no
idea that Japan would agree to the substitution
of our Constitution for her own, even In part.
Eighth, 1t would seem to be slightly contradic-
tory to ask Japan to adopt absolute religious
freedom and equality and at the same time to
give official favor to one certain religion.
We may add, in the ninth place, that the no.
ton that war between America and Japan Is
the alternative to our surrender Of the Philip
pines to that country seems to us entirely fan
tastic and prepOsterous and, In the tenth place.
while we are heartily IN accord with all efforts
for the spiritual improvement of mankind, we
are not fully persuaded that the only possible
escape from eternal torment Is through polIt-
ically imposed or politically promoted form of
worship. There are various other reasons for
dissenting from the ingenious views of our con-
temporarys correspondent, but-the weather Is
hot and our space is limited.

there will be an irresistible demand for more
jailings, and new and even more stringent anti
trust laws will have to be passed. The trouble
with laws that do not put any one in jail Is
that they do not satisfy the moral yearnings Of
the righteous. The trouble with laws that do
put or promise to put q good many in Jail is
that they are entirely too personal in their
