The Released "Firebug."

"A heavy responsibility is assumed by
those who secured and those who
agreed To the release from the Gov
eminent Hospital for the Insane Of the
man guilty. by his own confession, of
setting nineteen incendiary fires in this
city for the pleasure, as he explained,
Of seeing the horses run. This man
may have been mentally irresponsible
for his actions, and it may be true, as
urged in his Behalf. that his condition
was due to stimulants and that the
cause has now been removed, with the
result of restoring his sanity. Never
theless, it is incumbent upon the courts
to give the benefit of the doubt in all
cases of this character to the COM
munity rather than to the individual,
and while ii is to be hoped that the
judgment of the court in this case is
sound. and is based upon trustworthy
advice from the hospital authorities,
there is unquestiona bly, risk in set
ting at large a man with a mania
which has only by the best of fortune
failed to cost Washington dearly in
lives and property. The fact that none
OF the fires set by him was of any con-
sequence and that no lives were en-
dangered in no degree lessons the dan
ger involved in the presence of such
a man in the city, Nor does his de-
parture from Washington for another
part OF the country justify his local
release. Washington should not only
take care of it's own dangerous people.
but should protect other communities.
The move along" doctrine has not
been adopted in this instance, although
possibly the promise of this mans
family to take him out of Washington
may have had some influence in secur-
ing his release. The closest surveillance
must be still maintained over him by
the court. even though he may be
distant. Upon the first sign of re-
turn of mental trouble he should be
surrendered by his friends. Personal
interest should never stand in the way
OF the protection of life

Germany pricks France, France smiles

sentiment to France but wrath against
England. Thus when Germany made her
latest Moroccan demands on France IL
was England that rang with Gallo indig-
nation. while France merely withdrew
her gold from Germany with relatively
British phlegm. Now when France has
refused the terms of Germany many

FOLKS PAST FIFTY
MUST USE CASCARETS
What glasses are to weak eyes,
Cascarets are to weak bowels
"a 1o-cent box will
truly amaze you.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help. else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural: 1t IS just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are
less elastic And the bowels are
muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The
bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages. but never SO
much as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity But lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is gentle and ma
tural tonic One that can be con-
stantly used without harm. The only
such tonic is Cascarets and they cost
only 10 cents per box at any drug
store They work while you sleep.

The Water DEPARTMENTS Surplus

Inc figures presented in Supt McFar-
lands annual report of the operations of
the water department afford an effective
argument against increasing the rates to
consumers for the purpose of paving for
the extension OF the meter system
throughout the District AT the close of
the fiscal year the department had a sur
plus of $s1, 1852. and the superintendent
indicates that with this surplus 1t will
be possible to install 5000 meters during
the current fiscal year. In point of fact
at the average rate of meter cost, SIS
each, ii viii be possible with this surplus
70 install some 5,S13 meters. There were
at the close of the fiscal year 191O-later
figures are not at present axailable-63, 4l2

meters In use, leaving 1852 services un-
metered At the rate Of $500 meters a
year these could all be equipped out OF

than nine years With strict economy In

Leadership.

Gov. Wilson of New Jersey declares
that the people want their governors TO
lead. Well, he is living up to his idea.
He led in the senatorial controversy In
his state. But for his influence Mr.
MARITIME would not have defeated Mr.
Smith. Mr.. MARITIME gives him the credit,
He is product of wisconsin applied.
In matters of legislation also Gov. Will
son has led. Measures he favored were
pushed by his whole influence. He kept
his eye on the legislature. When dem
ocratic machine politician appeared 20
lobby for measures he favored, Gov. Will
son sent for him and warned him. None
of that" was what he said, and the
machine man was baked. And the
machine man is now engaged in making
war on the Wilson presidential boom.
In Kentucky the democrats appear to
reject the Wilson idea. Their criticism
of the republican candidate for governor
Is that he shows too much leadership.
They characterize him as boss. They
assert that he dominated the convention
which nominated him and practically
wrote the platform upon which he stands.
If he is elected, the state. they say, will
be under his thumb.
Judge O'Rear demurs to the Indictment.
He has no machine, and therefore is no
:. boss. He was nominated on the strength
of the views he had proclaimed on state
issues, and the platform, naturally, was
written in conformance Herewith. II
elected he will exert himself to the ut
most to have the legislature redeem
promises that have been made to the
people. If the body shows reluctance he
will hold 1t in session as long possible
in an effort TO secure the proper meas
ures.
this. They retort by saying that the dem
ocratic candidate for governor possesses
no leadership at ALL that ne was nomi-
mated by machine influences. and If elect
ed will obey them in Office. And they
point to his silence on important local is
sues and his vociferation on national IS
sues. lie is running for governor on an
appeal on national policies.
Gov. Wilson has raised a nice question.
That a governor should lead stands to
reason. lie must study the needs OF his
state. and make recommendations 10 the
legislature according to his findings bui
the legislature is not dependent upon
him Tor Its information. Members may
study state needs for themselves, and, ii
they see proper. set up their own views
in opposition to the governors.
AS generality. however. Gov. Wilson'S
assertion is good. a man e.ected to the
highest office in a state should have the
ability and courage to lead.

annually provided for meter installation
without going deeper into the pockets OF
the consumers than at present.
| This report Of the department contains
another item which weakens the argu-
ment for the necessity of universal meter
ing. The purpose of the proposed COM
plete extension Of the meter service be-
| ing to reduce the consumption and there
| by render less urgent the need OF an addi-
tional conduit TO increase the water sup
ply. 1t would seem that sufficient economy
/ in the consumption could be effected by
prosecuting the work of stopping leaks.
The superintendent states that nearly
1000 900 gallons of water day were
saved from leakage during the year
through diligent observation and prompt
report This loss was due. In large part, to
defective service pipes and the remainder
to faulty mains. AS long as 1t remains
possible to cut off such immense wastage
it is superfiuous to try to reduce the in
dividual consumption by metering and
rate increase.
Why not let the two works go on to-
gether, the correction Of the faults In
the piping system and the gradual extern
sion of the meters out of the surplus
Of a water famine now. Indeed. the mar
gin of safety is wide. and probably the
saving effected by the pedometer inspec-
ton and repairs to the mains and service
pipes fairly balances the natural increase
in the consumption from year to year.
An extension of the meter system
through a period of ten years would leave
the District at the end of that period in
ho hearing
their present relation to the service rem
dered.
1t is difficult to see how the Commits
sioners can, in the face of all the figures
relating to the water service. persist In
their announced intention to raise the
rates arbitrarily. There Is no urgent
need for it. and there is no equity In 1t.
If the small consumer Is considered, as
he should be. and his rate remains the
same-whether or not his permitted con-
sumption is decreased-the increased rate
will fall with unjust weight upon the
large consumer, who is now metered, with
but few exceptions, and is paying fully
for the water he uses. In view OF tne
necessity. under the Commissioners pro-
posed rate increase, either to tax the
small consumer more for water when he
uses on the average less than half OF his
permitted consumption or to throw the en-
tire burden of meter extension upon
comparatively few large consumers. 1t
would seem to be far more logical to
leave the rate stand as 1t is today and
depend upon the surplus earnings for an
nual meter extensions and for the stop
ping of leaks for the conservation of the
supply.

"Much More Radical Action. y

The public is not so greatly interested
in DIR. Wileys vindication as 1t is in the
Presidents intimated intention to proceed
to take 'much more radical action later,
This is understood to mean that the
President will endeavor upon his return
from the western trip to correct the
abuses that have grown up In the De-
partment of Agriculture, reorganize the
personnel to lessen the friction SO serious
ly in evidence there, and, in short, to do
whatever is necessary to make the ad-
ministration of the pure food and drugs
act efficient and vigorous and worthy of
the public confidence
Probably no particular harm will be
done by the delay. and yet 1t would have
been gratifying had the President taken
up this case at the time the complaint
against DR.. Wiley was received and push
ed through his own investigation, doubt
less with the result of discovering the
same state of facts disclosed by the
House committees inquiry. However,
such procedure would necessarily have
been private and the people would have
lacked the information they now possess
regarding the methods that have been
adopted In the department to check DR..
Wiley In his enforcement Of the statutes.
The Presidents words in his letter to
Secretary Wilson indicating that he will
take much more radical action later
are to be construed as a definite promise
to carry this case to its logical conclu-
sion. The Star. some time ago pointed
| out that the so-called wiley case had
| broadened until it involved the prestige
| OF the Department Of Agriculture. In
stead OF the chief chemist and those asso-
ciated with him in securing the services
or Dr. Rusby being the defendants, those
| actually under charges were the officials
who had contrived to check the chief
chemists activities and were themselves
administering the law in a manner quite
contrary to the spirit and, in some re-
spects, the letter Of the statute. 1t would
| have been gratifying had the President
been ready to act on the whole case at
the same time. Public doubt of the good
faith of the department must now con-
| tinue for several months. Notwithstanding
the sustaining Of DR.. Wiley. His hands
are still tied by the departmental and
executive orders that have been issued
