Sewers Aid Snow Removal.

There were eight snow storms in New
York city between February IL and
March II, with a total fall of 34.7
inches. On March IS there had been
removed $3.50, 562 yards, at a cost of
AZ cents per yard. In 1912-13. under
the preceding administration. 497, 1871
yards were removed at a cost of so
cents per yard, the fall being lis inch
es: in 1911-12, with a fall of 22.7 inches,
the quantity was 1857, 593 yards and the
cost So cents: in 1910-11. with a fall of
PAT inches, the quantity was 2.62S.SsO
and the cost Sc cents, and in .1909-10.
with Il fall of 80 inches, the quantity
was 1873, 236 and the cost IS cents.
The low cost this yea is attributed
to the extensive use of sewers for dis
posal. This practice has always been
objected to by officials of sewer de-
use the %conduits must be o~btained-on
the ground that it would clog the lines
and flood cellars. 1t has been proved.
by extensive tests this year. however,
tina under careful supervision and With
the use of a stream of water from a
hose, snow may be Jumped even into
small pipe ewers and carried away
with no serious consequences.
This is an important announcement
and promises in conjunction with the
organization of a snow fighting
force. as it has been called, "A solu-
ton of the problem of rapid snow re-
moval. Snow fighting" can a CO.
operative effort to remove snow as it
falls: sweeping the clean material into
manholes and employing a suf-
ficient force SO that work may proceed
day and night.
Commissioner Wetherston, of New
York, says tina with the sewers avail
able for the use Of the street cleaning
department snow can be disposed OF
at a cost of not more than 10 cents
per cubic yard, as against so cents pei
yard when the method of hauling to
dumps with teams is used.
The immensely of the nov problem
in New York city is apparent when il
is learned that the storms of the past
few weeks cost for removal, about 49,
500. 1000 and did damage in the city
which. at the lowest estimate is placed
at IS, 600, 900.

His Reason.
From Tit-Bits

1--WE often heard that virtue is it's
own reward" said an old gentleman to
the writer recently, "and hang me if l
attempt to interfere with the arrange
men in future."
He had been crossing the street.
when a gust of wind removed his silk
hat. which rolled under the wheels of
a passing omnibus.
AS the old gentleman picked up his
battered headgear he was greeted with
a yell of laughter from a ang of boys
at the corner of the street.
Turning furiously. with the intention
of reading his tormentors a lesson. the
old gentleman paused as he found one
boy wearing anything but a cheerful
expression.
MY boy" he said. effusively, "you're
the only little gentleman in the party
Here's a shilling for you. Now. tell me
why didn't you laugh with your com
panions?"
Because. sir replied the youngster
as he pocketed the coin, I'D my back
turned and didn't see h fun!"

Don't FORGET Tolls Issue.
Erom the Indianannlis News

FROM the Indianapolis News.
In the midst of our Mexican trouble we
should not forget the Panam tolls ques-
ton. h people of this country are in no
mood to vote a subsidy of from $1.0O0.0O 0 to
S2,0Oo.OW a year to the misunderstanding
monopoly. That is what is proposed by
those who favor toll exemption for our
coasting ships. 1t is a subsidy that is
sought. as Foraker has admitted. These
are bad days for the defenders of special
privilege. In this case the subsidy would
go entirely to the railroad and shipping
people. The best authorities have told us
that there would be no influence on rates.
These would be simply what the traffic
would bear. And the result would be that
the mount saved by the shipping interest
would be entirely absorbed by that inter-
est. That is perfectly clear. OF course.
we are prepared to violate our treaty, and
to pose before the world. according to that
eminent republican, Senator Lodge. as AN
outcast among nations" The American
people have made up their minds on this
subject. They do not propose to give the
free use of this canal-which has cost
them more thar s4oO.O COO. 0oo-to a g%rasping
monopoly which has the whole of the
coasting trade already in its own hands.

that she believes she always could
walk, would trot along through the
world very happy and very comfort

the earnest threats and p~ersuasions on

are cracks in every sidewalk, many Of
them, and the world is full of terrors
to Lois.
We who are not in the habit of rec
ognizing cracks. who never feel the
smallest worry with fearful i~maginings
until it is n terror to us, can smile at
Lois and her baby fears. Some OF us.
however. do occasionally stop to ac-

Capital Punishment.
From the New York Herald

FROM the New YORK Herald.
1t is becoming more and more difficult
to obtain the conviction and execution of
mu1derers in this country. The popular
sympathy aroused for the four gunner"
is, particularly striking because surely
here. if ever. the law needed to be vindi-
Gated. The court of appeals decided unani-
mously that the conviction should stand.
They were hired notwithstanding more.
Yet. in spite of all this. it was manifestly
the feeling of a great many persons that
their lives should be spared.
This means that there is a growing
sentiment in he community against cap
ital punishment. Is it not time. then. for
us to ask ourselves what will occur if
capital punishment is abolished? Expert
ence has shown that human life becomes
cheap just in proportion as the principle
of a life for a life falls into desuetude.
We have now the highest murder rate in
the world because our murderers SO often
escape justice, and next to us in this bad
eminence" is Italy, where there is no cap
ital punishment.
Let us not drift in this matter. If we
want to go in the direction of further pity
for criminals let us do it with our eyes
open. willing to let the powers of evil have
sway. Let US not forget that one of the
murderers said at the end that he dared
not confess. because he feared vengeance
on his famiiy-and this is civilization!
