BRINGING WATER TO
JERUSALEM

COME months ago an account was pub
lished Of the new water supply which
the army under Sir Edmund Allcnby had
contrived for Jerusalem. The event was
Of great importance to the people of Jcru-
salem. and very expressive of the change
from Turkish TO British administration
Since the Herodian system fell into dc.
cay Jerusalem was dependent upon an in
adequate pipe line from Solomon's Pools
and upon the c~isterns. public and private,
which store up rainwater. The %cistcrns,
for the most part. had become dilapidatcd,
foul and breeding places for the malaria
fly. The new supply introduced by the en-.
gineers means free water, clean water and
more water. and a great gain in santa.
ton. The January issue of the GUAR
tcrly Statement of the Palestine Explora.
ton Fund prints the full report Of Major
stephen. r.. b.. who designed and executed
this notable public Improvement in the city
which appeals to so many millions Of three
faiths. The report contains some addi-
tional facts worth bringing out. The re.
cessity for a new source of supply arose
from the circumstance that the army was
drinking up all the good water and most
of the bad, so that a water famine was
threatened for the summer. The old sup
ply consisted of cisterns with a storage
capacity of 800. O00. 900 gallons and a pipe
supply from Solomon's Pools of 40, 900 gal.
Ions a day. Many of the cisterns were, in
fact, empty, when not dirty. For prac-
teal reasons a new source could be found
only to the south of Jerusalem. Some

ton they turned out to be fed from
ancient underground aqueducts, probably
the work of Herod. These springs had
a Weld OF $4,000 gallons an hour of abb
%solutely pure water. \ pumping station
was erected, a reservoir with a capacity
Of 800. 900 gallons was built on the Hebron
road nineteen kilometers from Jerusalem,
a pipe line TO the city was laid and a
reservoir of 1000. 900 gallons was erected
there. Within two months water was pour
ing into Jerusalem at the rate of $50, 900
gallons a day. 1t is estimated that the
new.old sources thus tapped again after
many centuries once yielded, and can
again yield, 1000, 900 gallons a day. That
fact is one OF a host which indicate how
much more was once done with Pales-
tine and the great potentialitlcs of the
country. For Jerusalem there has been
opened out a clean and regular water sup
ply in place of a dirty and irregular one.
1t is a great boon to the poor, and should
lead to the stamping out Of malaria

CHAMP CLARK, BY ALL MEANS

CHAMP LARK was referred to at a
Wilson dinner In the ma
tional capital as the second most dis
tinguished American and nominated for
the presidency.
The nan who did not get the nomina-
ton in 1912 smiled at the speaker and
remarked, "Barkis is willin'."
Thus encouraged, the when
his turn came, expressed the hope that
Champ Clark viii be the next President
of the United States"
So the dinner, arranged to celebrate the
achievements of two Presidents, was re-
solved into an affair to boom the nomi-
nation Of Il less distinguished American.
Clark has a hitherto unsupported. or at
any rate unnoted. claim on the considera.
ton of the Democrats, who hope to elect
their presidential candidate next year, a
claim which ranks him with both Cleve-
LAND and Wilson. the only two men whom
the Democrats have elected since 1856. All
three have taken liberties with their
baptismal names. Cleveland was chris.
tened stephen Grover and dropped the

Woodrow and dropped the Thomas Clark
was called Beauchamp by his adoring
mother, after her own father. But the
canny youth thought that Beauchamp was
not a name with which votes could he
won and he dropped the first syllable and
secured an alliterative and what he thought
n democratic style which has justified his
Judgment by carrying him to success in
a long series of elections to Congress and
won him a majority OF the delegates to
the 1912 presidential convention. Now if
precedents count for anything, Clark is
tho man for the Democrats to tic them
selves to next year. No nomination could
give the Republicans greater satisfaction.

THE FIRST CLIsiMER OF \ NEW DAWN

THE demand Of the men who are draft
\ ing the new city charter for home rule
in the matter Of street cleaning methods
and the activity Of tho committee on mu
nicipal affairs of the Chamber Of Com.
mercc in arousing interest in the next
mayoralty campaign are symptoms of an
awakening which promises much Tor the
future.
When the influential business, and pro-
fessional men are indifferent to the kline
of government we have that government
will be bad. The unsatisfactory conditions
that have prevailed here for years have
grown up because the men who should
have taken an interest in good govern
ment have neglected their duty. They
have been too busy with their own private
affairs to bother with the larger affairs
OF the whole community. They have sat
in their libraries and in their clubs and
talked and thought of everything but how
to get the city so governed that a dollars
worth OF work would be delivered for
every dollar paid in taxes.
We do not mean to imply that they
have been worse offenders than men of
the same kind in other large communities.
City government in America is a byword
because Of the indifference to it of the
great mass of business men. They have
farmed out government to men who hav
made a business of IL. who have exploited
the cities as a private preserve for their
own profit and enjoyment.
There are signs Of a new day dawn.

men now active continue the campaign
which they have begun, for the moment
an alternative to the things from which
we have been suffering is presented for
the approval of the voters they will well
come it with enthusiasm. But they must

things which have been. Otherwise they
will prefer the evils they know to others
