AN INDISPUTABLE RECORD. San Francisco bhas demonstrated what strict laws and their enforce- ment can accomplish for a ecity. After the great fire the authorities adopted stringent ordinances for protection against fires. Among others was one strictly prohibiting the miscellaneous use of firecrackers, cannons, et, on July 4. The makers of fireworks are again trying te get & market there, and are urging the authorities to amend the law in favor of their trade, but the people Bre against it. It is shown that in the six vears preceding the adoption of the erdinance, there were 276 fires » the city, all on the successive “ourths of July, an average of forty- six each celebration. Since the adop- tion and enforcement of the ordinance there have been “no fires, no losses, and no one injured” on the Fourth of July. 'The whole press of the city, evidently voicing the sentiment of the people, opposes the proposed change, saying that the net results of the ex- periment “have been beneficial to all classes of people exeept dealers in fire- works.” With such facts as ihese on record, the work of having a sane and safe celebration, ought not to meet with great opposition. We have not heard of sixteen mayors of Connecticut faver- ing the prohibition of these dangerous life and property destroying pla things, but 17 mayors of New Jer- sey see the value of the movement there and emdorse it. A score of the larger citles of tae country are set- ing a good example by putting a stop to business which is a menace to the well-being of the people. PERMANENT COMMUNICATION. The owners of the Atlantic cable lines no longer smile when the wire- less telegraph system is mentioned. 1t has net taken so very long to test the merits of the system and to es- tablish its dependency for long dis- tance use. Messages have already been transmitted through the air over the 2,450 miles between the two high-pow- er stations situated at Clifden in Ire- and and Glace bay in Canada. We tive so fast In this age of the world ‘hat we are getting used to the sur- prising developments of science, and so when this very remarkable achieve- ment was accomplished, it created less interest and excitement than the transmission of & message for a few miles did a few years ago. It is an- nounced that under ordinary circum- stances a message may be sent from London to Montreal in about 40 min- utes, most of the time being taken up with transmission over the land lines. The first inter-ocean message sent between these two stations was from lLord Strathcona to Sir Wilfrid Laur- jer, congratulating him upon the erec- tion of the transatlantic service. It is in daily use and is winning favor with business concerns on both sides of the Atlantic, The domestic use of the wireless Is being extended to all parts of the continent. A BILLION-DOLLAR COUNTRY. When the expenses of the govern- ment first exceeded a "Dillion dollars congress was loudly called upon to t by the opposition. That was sev- al years ago, but the cry of alarm was without effect, and there has been no attempt to make this anything less than a billion-dollar country. In the last regular session of con- gress the total appropriations mounted up to more than $1,044,000,000. Thus far, there is no sign that they will fali below that enormous figure for the present session, regardless of the talk of cutting down expenditures. In faet, the probabilities are they will go considerably above that sum. Presi- dent Taft can keep the outlay close to the billion-dollar mark by vetoing the river and harbor bill which carries about $52,000,000, but inasmuch as the publie desires river and harbor im- provement it would be of doubtful wis- dem to put in such a veto. The day of great governmental en- terprises is upon us and the great waterway schemes and irrigation plans for the redemption’ of dry districts call for continuwous large outlays. It is apparent enough that the billion- dellar mark has been passed for keeps and the prospect is that the billion and a half sesslon of congress is not so far away. It takes billions to run a republic whioh will soon pass the 100,- 000,000 mark in population. AN AGE OF INDULGENCE. There is no questioning the fact that the wants of the average young man of today exceed anything that has been knowm in the past, for the young man is ing himself as never before in the world’'s history. A Chicago manufacturer, desiring to encourage thrift among his em- ploves, has been conducting a savings bank in commectfon with his faetory. After six months’ trial he finds that 75 per cent. of those who have start- ed accounts are married men. From these statements it is not surprising to hear the man declaim the follow- ing admonition: “Get married, boys, it'’s cheaper and the only way you will ever get rich. Pighty per cent. of the men saved an average of $40.02, but the single fellows held that average down.” This is not the way marriage is re- garded generally; ‘but there is no doubt that marriage necessitates the giving of more attention to economy than single blessedness; and is an incentive to well-mated-people to keep their expenses well in hand, which means a brightening of future pros- pects. The single man is rather reck- less of the future, while the married man knows that he owes to his fam- ily the care and protection which a good bank balance guarantees. “Get married,” i3 good advice since 1t is the natura] course for maa and it tells for the well-being and preservation of the state. The census taklog showed that there were 868 persons living in one house and & was not bullt for near that numbes—halt of them worked nights and haif daye.

Washburne of the National Model License league has prepared a tabulation showing that the average increase in the use of alcoholic beverages in the United States 1s 244,874 gallons a day as com- pared with the corresponding period in 1909. The tabulation, he says, is based on the figures of the United States commissioner of internal reve- nue for the first nine months of the current fiscal year, and is as follows: Average daily increase In withdrawals of distilled and fermented liquors for consumption for the first 9 months present g fiscal year (gallons).... 244874 Total increase in collec- tions on distilled spirits for same period.. $9,815,497.54 Total increase in collec- tions on fermented li- quors for same period.. $1,876,528 Total increase in con- sumption of distilled spirits for same period KBRLODSY .- . chanenis $,923,179.58 Total increase in con- sumption of fermented liquors for same period P I U e e 58,172,368 “The drys have received some se- vere setbacks recently, but this is not the explanation’ of the enormous in- crease in consumption of liquors,” said Secretary Washburne. “The true ex- planation is that prohibiiton has caus- ed the introduction of bottles, cases, jugs and barrels of varieus kinds of alcoholic drinks into homes where li- quor had never entered under the li- cense system. The success of the mail order business has been propor- tionate to the spread of ‘dry’ terri- tory, not to mention the growth of the plind tiger and moonshining indus- tries.” EDITORIAL NOTES. ‘The truant who lost his life would have done ’better to have gone to school. Pushing a dull lawn mower through high grass doesn’t pay. It is a waste of energy. Those who blame the comet for this cold May might do worse. The comet will not deny it. The advance of railroad fares is not likely to interfere with the vacation plans of the people. Colonel Bryan announces that he is in fighting trim, but there does not seem to be any battle on. A Boston woman has just dled and left $10,000 to the bank clerk who was polite to her. He had winning ways. More Americans look up to the sky when the day has arrived for a ball game than are likely to for the comet, In Vermont they propose on May 30 to give the veterans an automobile ride to save them the fatigue of a parade, A western man says he wears a belt to he able to tell when he has had enough to eat. He relies on outside pressure. A man 96 years old has walked from Cleveland to Philadelphia just to set the boys of the 20th century a good example. Happy thought for today: The man who thinks he is easy to get along with is usually laboring under a hal- lucination. So far as known, no royal Kkisses have been ventured upon Roosevelt. This shows good judgment on the part of royalty. Paulhan says he would not do the stunt again for a prize five times as great. His ten thousand pounds was not easy money. It is apparent enough that Govern- or Rollins never expected to get caught and no one else ever thought he would, either. The packers of Chicago are said to take in §12,000 a vear for skewers sold at meat prices in the carcasses as they are delivered. A Harvard professor feels quite sure this is 1914 instead of 1910. This makes us four years older than we thought that we were Four miles up the mperature is nine degrees below zero, so the weath- er bureau says. Aviators should take their overfoats with them. It is popular to “let orge do it,” but when it comes to dropping the offensive part of the oath, England doesn’t appear inclined to let him do it. Endowing Roosevelt. A ircumstantial story emanating hington and published in a New York newspaper, to be the ef- fect that Theodor Roosevelt is 'to be come the founder and nominal head of a great national university. This potential institution, it is declared, is to have unlimited financial backing. Indeed, the story runs that the Laire of Skibo is to Be its principal “angel that he hopes to rival the proposed Rockefeller foundation in this fashion that the plan was conceived before Mr. Roosevelt set out for the jungle, and that particular attention would be paid in this unque and distinctive institution to instruction in forestry, conservation, the pubiic health, inter- state commerce, international law and kindred subjects. If there be any truih in this report it means, of course, that the colonel will adhere to his promi not to ac- cept the nomination for a third term as president. Indeed, there may be some ground for the helief that he cherishes a desire to devote the re- mainder of his years to literary and educational pursuits. Moreaver, the stupendous character of this proposed | lan is such as might be expected rom so virtile an@ active a perso ‘The question of whether such an ins tution is needed, though, seems not to emter into the reckoning. And that is a very grave question. It is quite possible that more could be accom- plish for the geod of the country by improving those universities which are already established.—Pittsburg Post. Connesticut Conforms. Connecticut has again vindicated its law abiding character. It had 3,486 corporations paying $641.081.45 under the mew corporation ‘tax, but of this not ome cemt was in penalities.
