ABOUT FLOOD PROTECTION.

seems that a good many citizens in Wheeling cling to the hope
mat sometime in the very distant future Uncle Sam will dig deep
|oo~n in his jeans and begin the building of ar elaborate system OF
reservoirs. costing altogether some six billion dollars, largely if not
solely Tor the purpose of protecting Wheeling against floods. While
ms work may be undertaken sometime, The Interigencer has not the
|shgntest confidence that it will be undertaken and pushed 10 a COM
'pieuon during the life time Of any man in Wheeling now living.
IT'S well enough to dream about some one else coming forward
|and paying out their good money for our benefit. As a matter Of
fact ~ Wheeling ever gets any flood protection it will get it simply
10y building with its own money the levees and flood walls that are
necessary Tor protection. Our grand children may see the time when
HOODS vii be no more in the Ohio valley, when the water will be
|impounded in scores of immense reservoirs and held back either for
power purposes or for the improvement OF navigation during the
summer months. II is a splendid dream. but that is all it is. No
other country in the world and in Europe there are some countries
that have a few advanced and progressive ideas, has ever undertaken
successfully a work OF such importance. II great and rich nations
Ike France and Germany with comparatively small areas have not sue
|cessiuIy used the reservoir plan for the protection of their rich and
|populous valleys against floods, is it reasonable to suppose that the
United States with its tremendous territory, with the enormous region
mat II has TO cover and with the thousands OF other works demanding
heavy expenditures, will soon undertake and complete so gigantic
an enterprise.
The citizens of Wheeling can, in ten years time or less. protect
Every foot within the city limits from a sixtyfoot flood stage.
They have the money to do il. What they need is the ENTERPRISE
the vision and the courage.

TAMMANY AND NEW YORK.

Tammany Hall Is in the throes OF
the severest struggle that the famous
organization has known since the days
Of Tweed. II the evidence given by
William Sulzer is confirmed. Charles
y. Murphy. Tammany's leader. is al
most certain 10 be indicted criminally.
The investigators appointed by Gov
ernor Glynn are hot on the trail OF
grafters. who have enriched them
selves and the organization from state
contracts. A large number OF the
Tammany state officials are threat
ened and the probabilities are that they
will be successfully prosecuted. Worse
han all. Tammany loses its grip upon
the rich offices Of New York City. The
Mayor. the Police Commissioner. the
Board OF Aldermen. and the Board Of
Estimates. are all in the hands of anti
Tammany men and the 10000 offices
OF Greater New York can no longer
be distributed as rewards TO the faitn-
full.
A writer in Worlds Work" predicts
the dissolution OF Tammany. Hereto
fore Tammany has been almost exclus-
lively IN Irish and German ~organiza-
ton. Within fifteen years the Jews
have become the big political force in
New York City and Tammany has not
absorbed the Jewish vote. Whatever
may be the outcome OF Tammany's
present troubles, It is safe to assume
that ideal municipal government viii
not come in New York City as an i'm
mediate result. Some other organiza-
ton Is likely to take the place OF
Tammany. II Tammany itself Toes not
survive.
The fact Is. that amid the millions
Of voters OF New York City. there Is
so little OF American ideals. so small
a conception OF the duties and re-
sponsibilities Of citizenship. that pop
ular government has practically bro
ken down. The gamblers and the
gun men, the she'll game workers and
confidence men. the keepers OF vicious
houses. the keepers OF dance halls.
and the thousand and one elements
that make up lawless New York. don't
a good government

Opinions of the
State Editors
The Extra Session.

We hear q rumbling west of the
mountain that sounds like an at
tempt to hold an extra session OF the
legislature. Speaker George has been
writing the various members of that
body 10 get their sentiment on the
subject and advancing various rea-
sons why the extra session is neces-
sary. While IL is true We have had
several fruitful extra sessions. yet
as a whole their history is not very
encouraging and in the mind Of the
average man Is the feeling Of opposi-
tion. and we believe the majority
would voice their sentiment in ef-
feet as follows:
Governor. IL you can prevent IL. do
not infict us with an extra session OF

PSYCHOLOGY OF The KISS
Learned English Authority Has Di
vIded CIRCULATION Into Two
Distinct Types.

In a learned disQuisition on kisses
Sir Ray Lancaster divides them into
two classes. One class takes the
form Of nose-rubbing-each kiss givel
rubbing his nose against that Of the
other. The second kind, which IL
that familiar to US, consists in press
Ing the lips against the lips, skin OF
hair Of another individual and making
q short quick inspiration. resulting
In more or less audible sound. Both
kinds are really Of the nature Of 'snif
hing,' the active effort to smell or ex
plore by the olfactory sense. The
kissing Of one another by grovn.uI
men was abandoned in this country
in tho eighteenth century; but We
