UUA Biuevayy THE OUTLAYS OF CITIES. Enormous Expenditures Shown the Census Bureau's Report. b wasning on, March 7 .-The Unttec States census bureau's special ai "uu report or the statistics of th KO . . . .mjji wuica nan m 1907 a pope - luua or over 30,000 each, is being. unweo. it is explained in the report that payments for land, new building new work on the streets, and othe. Improvements are defined by the bu reau as "outlays." Such payments cost Praad a much larger pereentag. of the total payments of the goven meats of 148 of the 158 largest cit les In 1907 than in 1902, being J4.. Per cent of such costs in the late, year as cmnsjjed. with 27.3 per cen, fit 1902. In 0her words, payments foi outlays increased 86.6 per oent 1l the interval, while payments for ex lenses and interest Increased only 35. 1 per cent. Receipts from revenues mcreasad 35.5 per cent, so that h 1307 a much larger proportion ol -he outlays had to be paid frou . aus than in 1902. Many of the Western ci-les ' hat, au-iSUilly large outlay expenditures, aore than 70 per cent of the pa uen s for meeting governmental costs n Seattle fallinit In that classific -ion. Of the total outlays for the en' - re 158 cities of 1907, more thai O-ie-third were for highways and trior than one-fourth for public service er. tsrprises, chiefly watepsuply systems New York spent $9,629,117 in ex tins! an of Its water-supply system Philadelphia. $5,193,378, Chicago S3 ("94,195, Pittsburg $2,495,270 and New Orleans $2,085,730. The total payments for outlays in all the cities was $244,117,298 ant the increase in net debt was $120, 930,631. It will thus be seen that pracJcally one-half of the outlays were paid for without increasing the net debt. This is in marked con trast to the practice in English cit kes. Special to The Observer. - Our Bloody Code. It is not flattering to read thai the United States has the bloodiest code in existence, and that Japan ex cels us in a wise treatment of crime. In that heathen and flowery kingdom the prisons are made airy, light, and wholesome, and the prisoners are given the tools of their trade and assisted in their work. If they are mere laborers and have no trade they are taught one; the conceptioL of these poor heathens being that if society can transform a criminal in to a good citizen it Is a good work, and that not every one sentenced to prison for some one act is in herently vicious. To one not sitting in darkness this really seems not only a wiser, but a more Christian plan than ours of "once a criminal. always a criminal." We brutalize the Jailer and the jailed. Under our sys tern he who enters a prison gau leaves hope behind. C. E. S. Wood in Pacific Monthly. Credit Recorders' Court. That only two days were require. to dispose of the criminal docke of this county in the Superior Cour is by general consent credited t the recorder's court, so ably and sat isfactorily presidedVover by Jame- Pender. This court was establisb.ee November 15, and since that time it has had 45 cases before it, 4 of which were disposed of. Three-fourths and even more oi these cases would have been tried u the Superior Court, where a Solic tor who is paid by fees would ha made a tleast a dozen more cases ou of them. This is not said to the dis paragemeat of a solicitor, but o. the fee system. Had these cases been tried li the Superior Court, even an aer. working judge, like His Honor, Mr Guion, would find Saturday nigh crowding him to clear the docket. These 40 cases were disposed ol with an expense of only four June. in four months, a saving of no smai amount to the county. i vtvAa tru Southerner which so insistently urged the court much piea lira tn nnt thA JudKe GuiOU OX nraacArf eratif nation over the re suit of the Recorder's Court. It must be admitted that with the rifvkftr found here Monday, some judges, two the Southerner could men tion. would have taken at least three dave to disnose of; but even at this rate the county is the gainer oy hnndreds of dollars because of our Recorder's court.

The American quickly took off his over- oat and threw it to the child en deavoring to get her to take bole of it and to pull her in. but this he missed; he then broke off a larg Jmb of a tree hoping to pull bet to him, but seeing the child sink ing for the last time, quickly slip ped off his top clothes and jumped la. W.th a few long strokes, be swam and graUDeu the aireauy uu coascious child and brought her safe iy to land, in the mean time, peo ple had congregated and took the child to the nearest bouse, and after working on her, put her in a warm j. d when ishe came to.
