Meriden was just dying for ofled streets when the commissioner ques- tioned their utility’and the pressure brought to bear was sufficient to prompt him to humor them with an experimental trial of oil. It was to have been expected that Meriden would be pleased, but the use of oil proved to be dirty and like fresh laid tar, injurious to automobile tires, and now the air is full of protests, and women whose clothing was spoiled by the oil on the trolley cars are ad- vised to sue the staie for damages. It is a great pow-wow but the state is not likely to be mulcted or the com- missioner blamed. Meriden should know what it wants and be gratified to get it. RESPONSIBLE SCITY MENT. Grand Junction, Col., is the last city to adopt the Des Moines plan of gov- erning their city. Under the new char- ter, partisan and machine politics and GOVERN- government are finhibited, and a municipal ~ democracy subStituted therefor, No fixed tenure of office or employment is permitted, except subject to recall of elective officers, and as authorized by a classified clyfl service for employes. The city wards and the saloons are abolished. Opportunities for graft and favoritism in innumerable direc- tions are eliminated. The city"is di- vided into five administrative depart- ments—public affairs, finance and sup- plies, highwhy, heaith and civic beau- and water and sewers. The commission form of govern- ment has been improved by electing each commissioner directly to his department and clearly defining his duties. As each commissioner is re- quired to take the active charge and management of his department, giving his whole time to it, he is regarded as having before him the opportunity and incentive of becoming a special ist therein. Taxes on occupations, li- cense fees for selling fruits and veg- ctables or any other products of the state, and poll taxes, are all abolished. The most unique feature of the plan is its preferential system of voting at popular elections. It pro- vides for a complete unification of primaries and elections at cach elec- tion, and for the choice of candidates in proportion to the number of their respective supporters. As the official summary expresses it: “The preferential system of voting has been established in lieu of direct primaries or of second elections, thus securing & unique and accurate ex- pression of the public will at the polls, with the minimum of cost and effort.” The country will be greatly interest- ed in these advanced experiments in responsible city government. It is reported that Galveston has saved a quarter of a million a year by the change, and if Des Moines and Grand Junction and other cities show equally g00d results, all the cities of the coun- try will adopt the stem later on. THE INVISIBLE POINT. The lives of the two hermits, Peter and Andred Leubach of Alleghenv, Pa., has given rise to much sermoniz- ing upon the parsimonious habits of these men who together have accumu- lated $110,000. Andrew died a few vears ago and Peter has been taken charge of by the authorities because demented by grief on account of his brother's death. An exchange com- menting upon this incident, says: “All their lives these had saved every penny they could gel together and had gone without the commonest necessities of life. And for what? Andrew died, never having known comfort, happiness or pleasure of any self until his mind gave way and the chances are he will spend the remain- der of his days in the asylum. Even- tuaily distant relatives will doubtless get the treasure they accumiated and squander it quickly.” ‘This reminds us of a multimillion- aire of rather miserly habits, who had only one heir in the lute and idle young fellow, and the g0od people of the town labored with him to leave this money for some no- ble public purpose instead of to this nephew, but he would not do it, but replie “It he has as much fun spending the money as I've had get- ting it together, I shall be satisfied.” These men have had the fun of get- ting this pile together and their self- denial, though uncommendable, was not as serious to them, perhaps, as it appears to have been to their eritl EDITORIAL NOTES. The next Grand Army national en- campment will be at Atlantic City. The breaking waves dash high there. The postoffice department spends $200,000 a year for binding twine, and | something cheaper is being looked for. It wil not be many years before most summer resorts will have an aeroplane exhibit daily as an attrac- tion. Happy thought for today: have one slight advantage: They make a name for themselves by mar- rying. Tt has been noted at Chicago that even the water of Lake Michigan has gone down since the tariff bill was passed. When a complimentary cigar is passed out to a fellow in the west, it is proper to inquire: Olive-branch, or cabbage? It takes two private cars for the president to make his trip west. When he goes with aeroplanes, will he. re- quire a fleet? The people who complain of the ar- tistic appearance of the American flag are not the ones who go to the fleld | and defend it. What is thought of women cannot be #aid out loud in Georgia in future, for it is a penal offence. It must be whispered in sogiety.

This is the first I've heard of any of them!" v Sally Carroll's smooth forehead puckered wrathfully and_ she crushed tissue paper about the crevices of the hat tray with vielous jabs. “I wish I had never seen them,” she declared. “I have no more use in my business for that hat than a pollywog has for a parasol, and I detest bronze shoes.” “Then why buy them?’ inquired Mrs. Beels, crisply. Miss Carroll coilapsed on the pile of debris mot yet accommodated in her trunks. Then she appeared to be re- flecting for the first time upon the matter. Analysis of her impulses and the discomforts infrequently betrayed ler was mot usual with her. The operation was strange and painful “T'll tell you why,” she said, pres- ently, “It's because I am a great goose.” Then with a savage jab at a loosened hairpin she proceeded: “It's Eecause I try (o play to two audiences.

The Record Shows That There Were 28,709 in This Country. The record of conversions to the Catholic church during last year, as revealed from official and carefully compiled figures before the Congress of Missionaries at Washington, indi- cates the tremendous progress the church is making throughout the coun- try Statisticians of the Apostolic Mission house place the number of converts for 1908 at the great figure of 28,709. These figures were received from the { report of chancery offices, and while some few returns are missing, still with these exseptions that figure, 28,709, represents the aggregate of adult baptisms in all the dioceses of this country. In 1906, in preparation f¢ the con- gress of that year, there were found to be 5 converts. Two years later the ‘number had grown to 28,709, or 3,644 more. In 1906 it was difficult to get exact figures for in many chan- cery offices there was no noté taken of converts at all. In some dioceses they were a negligibie quantity. the congress of 1906 the idea had so grown that with very little difficulty accurate results have been semmned In compiling the resurns the impres- sion has grown that quite a percentage of converts are never recorded. None of the converts who had been validly baptized as Protestants and therefore received into the church on simple profession of faith are included in the list, and also a percentage of adults baptized on reception into the church are not recorded for some reason or another. Probably 10 per cent would cover these categories. Adding this to the actual figure of record it would run the aggregate to 51,686. However, to be conservaive we shall accept as stereotyped figures for convert making in the United States in one vear 28,709, and we feel that we are well within the mark. The figures range from 1,491 in New York to a vanishing quantity in some | places. It i~ noteworth. that in the | dioceses where apostolate bands_are | established the numbers rise above the average, as for example. New York, 1.491 converts; Cleveland, 737; Mobile, 488, In New England convert making Is very much_below the mark. There were only 1722 converts in a popuiation of eyer 2000000, or one in 1200, while the average for the country at larze is about one in 500. The southern states have an envi- able record of about 2000 converts in a_ Catholic population of 1,000.000. Catholicity has made its way in these states in spite of strong Protestantism and the opposition of rooted prejudice and bitter antagonism. In these states an active and aggressive missionary work has gone on_for the last few decades of years—The Rosary. NEW ENGLAND MILL WORKERS. How These Foreigners Become Amer- icanized. Two years ago, in Fall River, Paw- tucket, Lowell, Lawrence and other smailer manufacturing _ centers, on Saturday afternoons, . Sundays and holdiays, it was a sight to watch the crowds, not a few, but hundreds, in | their native dress, representing about every nation under the sun. Very lit- tle of the conversation was under- stood by the American mixing with the crowd. Today the foreigner in na- | tive dress is comparatively a rare | sight, as they are so much American- | ized by contact with native help in the mills. by the instructions and .ad- vice of their overseers and second- hands, (hat they are good spenders money for American _clothing, each year finds them living in better style and in better localities, and many are already® property owners, which means that they have come to stay. Thig condition is more noticeable in New England than elsewhere, and the cost to our textile mills in Ameri- canizing this foreign population would be startling, if the figures could be gathered. At first the green help was heart-rending to overseers, superin- | tendents and agents, More work was spoiled than produced as first quality, in not a few instances, and the utter jgnorance of manufacturing organiza- tion of system was discouraging. They coyld be told nothing, as our language was entirely unknown, so that their early training was largely through motions and persenal demonstration on the part of the @@partment heads. But they came here $@ Yet money, and were reasonably willing and quick to learn, and today the growing mill population is of these people and their offspring, who will prove a fine class of help within a few years, as they reach the necessary age. There are no false ideas in the minds of the Americanized foreigners about the disgrace of mill work. There is more money than ever before seen in previous occupations, and children are being raised solely for mill work, as on as they gain a good common hool education, and reach legal age. While our self-constituted reform- ers have been working industriously to check the expansion of ou rtextile industry by interference in every di- rection, and while they have also been especially active in working up a spir- it of unrest in labor circles, our mill overseers, superintendents and agents | have been quietly doing something of vast future importance to the coun- try, in_Americanizing the foreigner, | end making him npt only a good pro- | ducer, bnt a godd consumer.—Ameri- | can Wool and Cotton Reporter. | ew York Times, | Special Cable to The PARIS, Aug. 7--The Parisian’s fection for his mustache and beard | will probably net be affected by it, but savants here have just made an | effective demonstration " against tne malevolent propensity of the hair- adorneil Jip as a harbor 10 propagate disease.
