GAYNoR AND GRAFT,

WHEN Mayor-elect Gaynor assumes office
w in New York he will have fine specimen
of graft put up to him for investigation The Cat
skill Aqueduct Condemnation Commission to
secure land for the new aqueduct for the greater
city seems to be a machine that has had an
mously profitable output for the politicians.
They have worked a condemnation system that
must make men in other cities green with envy.
Philadelphians must wear long faces to think
what they have missed.
The cost of the land for the Catsk aqueduct
has been to the city so far about $I,5oo,ooo, and
the cost to the city to condemn this land has
been almost $2oooooo The expenses of the
special counsel and the commissioners of APP
praisements have been about $I,Iooooo One
hundred and one expert appraisers, most OF whom
are described as political hacks have been EN-
poyed at the rate of from $40 to $50 day, and
100 commissioners have been employed at the
rate of $50 a day. Thus far only one-fifth OF the
property needed by the city has been secured,
and New Workers are figuring on what will be
the total expense TO the city il this rate continues
The expenses are so high that they make the
court fees and expenses of receivers for business
concerns that are so unfortunate as to be forced
to wind up their affairs according to legal meth
ods seem small.
No wonder those who feast at such a political
banquet are 10th to leave it, but anxious to stay
until the last crumb has been gathered in. NO
Barmecide feast of empty platters for them, but
the table groans with its weight OF good things.
II is said that Mr. Gaynor as Mayor will be
able if so disposed, to save the city at the rate
of $4,000 day.
This amazing graft is a striking commentary
upon the manner in which our great mumeipar-
ties do things. We talk of the progress making
in municipal government but this New York
situation is like the shock of cold water on
frosty morning. No wonder Tammany fought so
desperately to retain control of the city

Editorial
Opinion
Anti. Football Tommyrot.

New York Press
Nothing more comic has been contribut-
cd to the debate about football than the
censure OF the game, on account Of its
brutality, by the Confederate guerilla
chief Colonel John S. Mosby When the
celebrated raider calls football worse than
war and murderous invention he almost
raises the suspicion that he is really maxi
ing an ironical defense Of It.
A curious feature Of this discussion is
that the severest condemnation OF the
great university game comes from people
who engage in rather rough sport them
selves Colonel Mosby, having gratihed
his own lust OF combat wants the same
denied TO others. Eminent prize fighters,
by denouncing football as brutal, hope TO
give their own occupation a relative re-
spectability. Jockeys are frequently killed
In horse races. but the chief objection to
this sport is not its danger but the gamb-
ling II fosters. Drivers OF automobiles are
ground under wheels, and even spectators
are killed. without any cutlery for the
suppression OF motor car racing.
Such mollycoddles as clamor against
football create the impression. by what
they say. that their principal grievance Is
not the peril to the players but the pleas
ure the combats give to the spectators.
This was how a searching historian anal
wed the Puritan antipathy to bear bait
ing; the suffering OF the bear was not so
wrong as the exhilaration OF the on
lockers We have yet to hear complaint
from college students themselves against
football Parents of children killed or
hurt do not file a protest. The privilege Of
an undergraduate to refrain from playing
football is equal to the right Of an alto
mobllst to avoid risi1ing his neck in
speeding When those most affected by
the danger OF the gridiron do not COM

Moving Pictures and Art Criticism.
ST. Louis Republic.
The moving-picture show is well worthy
Of serious criticism; its hold upon its pub
lie is tremendous, and its public includes
all the children and young people Of the
community and probably a fair half Of
the adults. At sometime in the near future
we hope TO give It the consideration its
real Importance deserves; for the pres
ent we can only point out the fact that
It has already developed literature Of
its own, and that in that literature may
be discerned the germ Of school OF crit
iclsm distinctivey American.
American criticism OF literature and art
has lacked several things. First. It has
wanted baseline; q central principle
from which all trianguIations should be
made and IN the light OF which all specific
judgments should be tested The lack of
this has led to haziness OF expression. to
over-ornateness; to the emphasis Of the
manner OF speech; to the neglect of the
value Of the thing said.

A Fortress at the capss.

W dHuli6lou EOsls
An impregnable fortress. behind which
an invincible feet could rendezvous. Is
contemplated for the entrance to Hamp-
ton Roads and the Chesapeake Bay. Presi-
dent Taft holds the view that the Nor
folk Navy Yard is our most important
base OF naval operations, and should be
adequately safeguarded. The plan would
involve the construction of an artificial
island halfway between the Capes as the
site OF the proposed fortress. It would be
an engineering problem of vast magni-
tude, as the water at the point designated
is OF great depth, and the tides some-
thing to be considered with in rough
weather. The island would interfere in a
measure with the free ingress OF mer-
chant shipping running for shelter, but
military sagacity seems to prompt the
minimizing of these obstacles. The prob
able cost cannot be approximated until
Congress has authorized preliminary
steps,

Too much praise cannot be given Mr.. Kurtz and
Mr.. Snellenburg and others who may have had
hand in bringing the tobacco industry to this
city. The factory means the employing of
large number of persons, and it is an addition to
the industries of the city we'll worth having.
Wilmington is naturally suited to manufacturing
and the success that has attended the efforts to
locate this new factory here should spur our
active men to still further work for the growth
of Wilmington as a manufacturing city.

The Miller Drug Company, which has large

celebrating its twenty-hfth anniversary. This is
another of the leading places of business in Will
mington, a concern that has steadily grown until
about it there is an air of prosperity and good
cheer that wins its customers as soon as they
enter the door. This is another store that is
credit to the city. Wilnnngtonans remember
its small beginning and have watched with inter-
est its steady growth, and its success could be
due only to merit and energy.
