RESPONSIBILITY FOR IMPURE

Jersey justice never hit nearer a
mark that is likely To be a shining
example for our courts than when "A
Judge last week decided that the water

then justice viii De properly fulfilled.
The expression OF "A great modern
expert. in sanitary science that when

seem now an eXaggeration, but the
public is gradually being educated to
accept it literally. Typhoid occurs
only if eXcrementitiOus matter from a

THE PREsIbEZTrs BURDEN.

Woodrow Wilson carries the great
est burden that has been laid upon
any president since Lincoln Nc
Kinley carried a great burden for a
time, and it was heavier while it
lasted. for he had TO face the hostile
clamor of nearly O. whole people.
But the wreck of Ne Maine brought
relief from suspense. II was easier
to fight the Spanish American war
than il was To resist the demand for
Intervention in Cuba.
Pres Wilson has been wrestling
with the Mexican situation for four
teen months. 1t was not acute until
within the last month. At least 1t has
no been apparent to the public.
But always the worry has harassed
the administration. 1t has been four
teen months since Mr. Wilson took
UP the responsibilities of the presi-
dency. 1t is easily conceivable that
there has been hardly a waking hour
when the possibility of war with
Mexico has not haunted him. AL
ways it has doomed before lam as a
terrible phantom.
The president did not choose the
course of personal ease. 1t would
have been far easier for him 10 have
recognized the murderer of MaderO,
il would have been less haraSsing for
many a man 10 have brought about
Intervention months ago. Yet that
would not have brought satisfaction
to this president. He would have
grieved as deeply over the blood
shed and the death Of brave young
soldiers and sailors as did Lincoln
over the life cost of the Civil war.
II is little wonder that the presi-
dent cannot sleep for the worry that
never leaves him. There are whis-
pered stories that his health is
breaking under the strain. Prob
ably there is not much truth in them.
But il is true that DIR. GraySOn is
watching for signs OF breakdown
that he is counseling him constantly.
and that Ne has ordered him 70

THERE appears to be a great di-

TO what should be done with the
hands while singing. At the May fes-
tival one held them clasped, another
used both to hold a small program,
another rolled a piece of paper be-

wonder that they do not use cobs.

THE CONFESSION.

1t was nearly dusk the next after
noon when Harcourt's car brought Sir
Harry Farndale and Darlington over
from the station to Harcourt Manor.
The other guests had arrived before
hand, and Grace and Adele Cornish
were preparing tea when the late
comers walked in.
What news, Dicky?" Harcourt
asked, as Darlington joined him by
the fireplace. II can see that you are
fairly bursting with excitement"
"Kandwahr has been arrested!"
Darlington blurted out.
"Kandwahr arrested" the others re-
peated in astonishment, for the news
had been kept secret, and even the
early evening papers in London had
made no mention of the fact. Mac
Bee was evidently bent upon conceal
ing his moves, and Darlington had
only learned of it Immediately before
leaving the city.
mo one seems to know much about

"MacBee told you something else
about the knife" Farndale prompted.
"oh, yes" Darlington went on. Il
almost forgot that You remember

did not. On the other hand, do think
he is connected with it in some way
