PUBLIC VS. PRIVATE WORK-
From time to time the cry goes up from
independent individuals and newspapers
that work carried on by the town, the
county, the state, or the nation, is not
done as efficiently, as economically or as
quickly as the same work if done by in
dividuals and under individual control.
Where public work is to be done, those
in authority are between two fires. If
they give it out by contract, they have to
pay the contractor’s profit and run the
risk of being cheated in the matter of the
materials used and the character of the
work done, the two 'latter considerations
being in (act, by far the more serious as
the State can take care of itself in the
matter of the price it is to pay. If the
municipality undertakes the work, it has
to contend with the danger of indifference
and inefficiency all the way from those who
have complete authority and responsibili
ty, down through the employes in every
rank and grade to the humblest laborer
wielding pick or shovel. Xbfire are, of I
course, exceptions, both in contractors
and employes which shine above the aver
age as lighthouses along our coasts; but
we are talking about the generality of
mankind. In the majority of instances
we beUeve the better plan is the contract
system, giving public work to the lowest
responsible bidder and having the same
inspected by competent officials who
should be chosen for their ability and
honesty rather than because of their po
litical affiliations, their social qualities
and standing, or any other consideration
which does not affect their capacity.
Such officials should be well paid and

’
compelled, if possible, to give bond for
the faithful performance of their duties
When all is said, however the great
problem is how to enlist in the public
service, men of honesty and ability, and
to hold them up to doing their best. Uu
certainty as to one’s tenure of an office,
the same being dependant upon the turn
of the political wheel, and the feeling that
no one knows or cares whether work is
done well or ill, are not the best incentives
to good work.
Application of civil service rules or
principles would probably do much to
remedy the one defect. Wide awake
newspapers and a wider awake public
can do something to put an end to the
other. Eternal vigilance is the price of
success whatever it be.
TEMPERANCE SENTIMENT CROWING.
While there is an honest division of
opinion in regard to the advisability or in
advisability of operating canteens at or
near army posts or soldiers’ homes, and
while some excellent people, who have
the welfare of the men at heart, think a
mistake has been made in abolishing the
canteen, it must be confessed that the ac
tion of Congress shows a very gratifying
growth of temperance sentiment in this
country. There are. of course, many men
in both branches of Congress who an
themselvesjn favor of helping the tem
perance cause wherever and whenever
they can, but we believe the action of
that body was the result and reflection of
public sentiment rather than an expression
of the ideas or wishes of individual mem
bers of the House or Senate. To those
interested in seeing the spread of tem.
perance, this sign of the extent of tem
perance sentiment is decidedly welcome,
fur more so than the legislation to which
ifgave birth. For while we may pass
laws to restrict and prohibit the sale of
liquor, it is exceedingly difficult to legis
slate men up to the point of abstaining
from drink and that, when all is said and
done, is what we aim at in temj erance
legislation.
The old fashioned Idea was to have the
decanter on the sideboard and let him
help himself who would, and in that day
men drank freely and openly. That cus
tom has passed a-vay, thanks to a senti
ment opposed to it. We believe that if
total abstinence is to become the order of
the day, it must be in response to senti
ment of which laws are but the outward
expression
