SELF APPOINTED IMMoRTALs.

o we are to have an American Academy OF
- Immortals with President Roosevelt and
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, as the chief
lmmortals. Members of the Ananias Club will
be barred Perhaps the proposed formation of
the Academy under governmental auspices is
another slap at the malefactors and the rich,
the benevolent rich as Carnegie characterizes
himself, Rockefeller and others and the preda-
tory rich. True it is that the rich have been
much in the public eye Wealth and riches have
been exalted. Wisdom that drops. from the
honeyed lips of the rich. the vulgar rich and the
rich by inheritance and real WORTH has been
eagerly swallowed by the gaping public.
Wisdom and comfort and happiness have been
thonght to reside in the dollar, aud hence young
America has sought to be rich and is not very
particular as TO how he gains his wealth. Dis
elimination as TO riches is difficult and, il even
the learned rector of St. Andrews were called
upon to decide what arc the riches that could be
received for charity without blush. and what are
the riches which should be classed in the King
dom of old friend Predatory he might be
puzzled sometimes.
However it is intended that riches shall not be
requisite TO fellowship with the Immortas The
mIhonaires and the triple niionaires may have
their clubs in New York where a man with one
million is regarded as undesirable, but here
comes the Academy of Immortals that is to set
the standard on another basis, intellectually
and mental achievement. There will be specu-
aton and comment as to the members of the
Immortals but they have already selected them
selves in the bill that is before Congress. Only
four vacancies are to be filled, but the waiting
list will probably be long.
The proposed academies are we'll worth watch
ing. Perhaps they may mark tendency to hon
or in America something other than money. The
learned ones may begin to look up and think that
after all there is a chance OF national recognition
for them. a recognition based on something be-
sides skill in manipulating the dollar and twist
ing legislation so that the dollar shall flow from
the people in to the pockets of the gaudy Croe-
sus.
But Roosevelt, an Immortal The Ananias
Club for his opponents Hasn't he turned the
trick on themf
Why not have an Academy of Immortals in
Delaware? Alas, there arc obstacles. II art and
letters were considered Mr.. Crozier might bob
mp for membership as an author and dozen
fits would be thrown by some persons in Viii
mington And <Leh if the Immortals were TO
have dinner and drank anything stronger than
nilko mixed sherry with their terrapn the
"wet" or "dry' conflict would be immortalized.
So.thcn, we think that no matter what the gov
crHment may do, the Delaware Academy OF I'M
ngortas will have to be held in abeyance-uness

the mixing Of corporations with political matters
There are two factors in such bribery-the man
with money who attempts the bribery and the
bribed. They are equally guilty, and both
should be punished. In this instance, the man
who accepted the bribe is serving term in the
penitentiary and that is where the president OF

CALCULATING PLANT NEEDED

To improve the water service Of the
District OF Columbia, Maj. J. j. Morrow.
the engineer officer In direct charge of
the system, advocates the installation Of
meters for all public and private serv-
ices and the construction Of a modern
eoagulating plant in conjunction with the
Georgetown reservoir. HIS views on the
subject are expressed at length in q re-
port made by him In response to an act
Of Congress approved May %, 1908, pro-
viding for preliminary investigations and
surveys for increasing the water supply
Of the District. This report was submit
ted to the Speaker Of the House of Repre-
sentatives by the Secretary OF War today.
In brief IL shows that the existing system
is sufficient for all probable demands for
some years to come and that there is no
immediate necessity for its extension.
Conclusions Reached.
Maj. Morrow says that as a result of his
Investigations he has reached the follow
ing conclusions:
First. The efforts of the water de-
partnent Of the District Of Columbia OF
The last three years. looking to a sup
preston Of waste, have produced such
remarkable results as to imperativeiy de-
rapidly covering all services, both private
and public, in the District Of Columbia
by meters.
Second. As an alternative to prOvid-
ing for the construction OF an additional
storage reservoir. which will become
more necessary as the demand for water
increases. and TO provide for the more
efficient working Of the present filtration
plant during periods Of excessive turbidity

ton said that he was in favor of a
change of date. At least the necessary
two-thirds Of the members OF both
branches OF Congress have expressed the
an amendment to the Constitution, should
be made
During last March, when the evil condi-
tons attending an early inauguration
Star polled the sentiment of members of
Congress on the proposal to change the
date from March 4 to late in April or
early in May. The sentiment in favor of
the change was practically unanimous.
Hardly a dozen members were opposed
to it.
Many Speak for Plan.
Here is the list Of those members of the
Senate and the House Of Representatives
who expressed themselves in favor Of the
proposed change:

ton to this office to be able to make
this report, which is made possible only
oS the excellent results which have been
ootained by the Introduction of such
meters as have already been installed
ana the thorough and efficient work in
the suppression Of waste in the distribute
ING system. Especially Is this 50 be-
cause the great consumption Of water OF
from three to five years ago justified the
omciais having charge Of the water sup
ply ana OF the management Of the affairs
OF the District OF Columbia in the as
sumption that additional works would be
urgeetly needed. possibly within the
period required for good construct Ion
work and the investigations entered upon
unoer tins appropriation were approached
Dy all IN the belief that the result of the
investigations would show the necessity
Tor early construction. It is further
gratifying bt ause II can he demonstrat
ed. as suggested in Mr.. Hazen's renort
that the installation Of all the measures
recommended for immediate adoption can
De erected at only fraction Of the cost
or interest charges on the outlay neces-
sary for new works. which interest
charge Will be direct saving for so
much time as the construction Of the ad-
oltionai works can be postponed
Recommendations Submitted.
Based on these conclusions. Mai Nor
row makes a number Of recommendations
with view to carrying them into effect.
One recommendation is that Congress be
requested to appropriate $4,000 for the
installation Of meters on all federal sup
plies to be available during the fiscal
year 1911. Another recommendation is
that an appropriation OF $4,000 be made
for the construction of a coagulatinz
plant and for remodeling the GEORGETOWN
reservoir for use in connection Herewith
He suggests that these two appropria-
tons be. included in the District appro-
priation act for expenses of the f1s ,al
year 1911. He suggests. also, that the
sum OF $25O.OOO be included in the same
appropriation act in each OF the next
three years. If necessary. lin order to
provide funds for the extension of the
meter system to all private services IN
the District of Columbia. these apnro-
priations to be made PAYABLE from United
States funds. with provision for their en-
tire repayment to the United States with
interest charges. over a period Of about
twenty years time, as has been done in
cases of like nature in the past
Another recommendation is that 5000
be appropriated for complete investi-
