Predictions of a Shake-Up.

That n pretty general shake-up is
likely to be made in the department as
result OF the Sullivan trial is re-
garded by some foregone conclu-
sion. though Just what form may be
be taken by this shakc-up nobody is

ever. that the members of the trial
board are anxious to know just how
far political influence has crept into the
fire department-in other words, to
what extent pull" rather theu merit
has been depended on for advancement
by certain members OF the department
That the predicted shake-up win

When New Voters.
 Gan Be Made.
Sessions of SeIectmen to Be Held From October 16
 to October B

For the purpose of making new vot- CTS the se1ectmen will be in session in the Common Council chamber from October 18th to October 2Srd from g a. m. to D. m. On November from in the morning until 5 in the even ing the board will be in session to
 make those voters who by reason of maturity of age or residence after October 23rd and before election day are entitled to vote at the election on November 3rd. Only those who come under this head will be made at that particular time, however. Every one who Is entitled to be made a voter must register with the Registrars of Voters on or before o'clock on the afternoon of October 18th. App1ica- tfons of voters t'to be made are eonI- ing in slowly. It is estimated that there are between 700 and 1000 who are entitled to be made voters.

THE UNFIT IMMIGRANT.

Many people express the fear that the close of the war is going to bring to this country a stream of cripples and sufferers from ailments contracted during the war.
 Five thousand immigrants often pass through Ellis Island station at New York in a. day. Predictions are made that new routes through the Panama Canal will bring a horde to the Pa- cif1e coast. When the war is over, the opportunities of America will appeal to many men whose jobs are gone and whose homes are destroyed. If they have willing hands and strong arms, there will be work for them to do here-
 The immigrant, even when physical ly strong, is pathetic picture. He has the idea that America Is the land Of easy money. He leaves some, com fortabIe enough peasant cottage with his meager savings of a life time. He exchanges the healthfu1 open air of his farm at home for the damp odors, of the mine, the stifiing air of a factory, and the cohgested life of the tenement Tn a year his ruddy face has turned pale. He pays commissions to sharp CTS of his own race for his job, and may have less to eat than at home.
 If he also brings the seeds of diseases and weaknesses incurred in war, his lot will be miserable indeed. He is likely to become a public charge. At home. ties of friendship and charity would enable him to fsubsist.
 When the war is over, the keepers at our gates will need every facility to enable them to discover and exclude the unfit. Tt would be far more just and nercifu1, if examinations could be made on the other side. to save these poor people a fruit1ess and costly trip It would be better still if means could be found to persuade them that gold is rarely picked up on our public streets

Germans, but now this has been stop ped.
 It is felt here, therefore, that Eng land and France might be a little more lenient with Dutch shipping. Holland herself needs the products of her colonies, but as the case of the Rotterdam Lloyd steamer Tambora has demonstrated these 4wo beliger- ents are not greatly interested in this. The cargo taken consisted largely of coa and the small quantities of rice increased the food supply of Germany and it really found it's way into that country. It was also felt that the seiz- ure by the French of 25o silver ingots consigned to the Netherlands Bank, and Virtually Dutch government prop erty, was not an act of necessity.
 But with the Hollanders it is truly case of grin and bear, though it is not likely that they will forget-pro- vided it will serve their purpose u1- timate1y to remember That Ger many might have done the same thing, had positions been reversed has no bearing on the matter. The fact is that Holland has been given g. strong taste of what supremacy means. and the feeling is that the flag of Holland has never meant so little or counted for less For a people as intensely patriotic as the Neither lands this is cause for keen resent ment and that this resentment must not be given expression hurts all the more.

PUBLIC OPINION

A week ago there was a fire in tenement in the crowded portion of the East Side. If it had not been for the valor and common sense of mem bers of the fire and police departm ents, two small children would have smotn cred to death. It is the unfortunate custom of mothers who work in the shops of our city to leave dependent children shut in at home till they re- turn. If the house catches fire dur ing the day they stand a good chance of being burned or smothered. This custom should be altered, but it will be difficult to teach these mothers the danger that turks in the practice and more difficult to provide a place where the children can be lefte all day. The writer would welcome the co-op- eration of people, with ideas on the sbject, either directly or through the press.

ture developments Of the supply
should undoubtedly take this form.
The Santa Fe supply IL secured
from one dug well some 30 feet in dia-
meter and y drilled wells. From
data available it would appear that
the railroad wells. though driven
somewhat deeper from The surface
than the city wells. penetrate material
of very similar nature, and obtain
their water from a closely analogous
stratum at q depth which. when re-
ferred to the high water mark to the
1908 flood. is very close to that of the
city wells Analysis of samples of the
Santa Fee water taken from the dug
well, the drilled wells, and. a tap in
the shops, all showed the water to be,
at the time. of excellent sanitary quail
ity.
Watch the Water.
The connection between the Santa
Fe and city systems is maintained for
mutual convenience, water being
pumped occasionally from one system
to the other in times of fire or other
emergency. While both waters seem
excellent at present. it Is to the advan-
tage of both parties that careful and
regular analytical supervision be kept
OF both waters; and that the division
valve be carefully protected, and that
a record be kept OF any interchange
Of water.
IN general, the city will be wise to
adopt a liberal policy regarding the
development of its present satisfactory
water supply. Pumping from the riv-
er. such as was resorted to in 1910,
should never be found necessary
fact which cannot be stated too en-
phatically. The city mains extend we'll
over that part of the city south of the
river and west of Shunganunga creek.
Some 4.738 service connections
were in use in 1907. figure which, ac-
cording to water office estimates. ac-
counted for about $4,000 persons-or
some SIS per cent of the population.

pure water in the prevention Of a
number of important infectious dis
eases, We may recommend liberal ex-
