There is much to be =aid in favor of the position which has been taken b; Mayor Brown and the police commis- sloners recarding the enforcement of the law in the future relative to the traffic in the streets. It is action which is taken in response to com- plaints and the complaints have been made necessary by the manner in which the drivers of vchicles, and particularly automobiles, have disre- garded such laws in the past. It is po: ble to enact laws without end but they amount to nothing un- less they are respected and respect for such mandates is r consid- ered by many except that they are forced to cbedience. Let certain number continue to do as they please, without paying any attention to the requirements, or let those same ones snap their finger at the law and take & chance at getting caugnt at every opportunity and it is not long before it is generally recognized that if one can do so the rest can and the law might just as well not exist. And all 4his is due to the laxity in the enforce- ment of the laws. Having decided that the past prac- tice in this relation is wrong and that it needs to be changed, the proper course has been taken in giving warn- ing to the effect that the police have been notified henceforth to see that the law is respected. It should mean that the highway law henceforth will amount to something and let there be the proper cooperation upon the part of those who are affected by such rez- ulations and there need to be no more arrests than there have been in the past. MUST PROTECT OURSELVES. This country has gained much com- mercial advantage as the result of war, but that does not insure permi- nency by any manner of means unless this country is prepared to meet the competition which is sure to be raised by the countries of Europe just as soon as peace is declared, or as soon as there is something definite as to when the war will end. Director General John Barrett of the Pan-American Union has been making a canvass of the financial and commercial opinion of London ag to the part which will be taken in‘the restoration of the British trade in the Latin-American field and he finds that the aim will be to make British trade prestige stronger than ever, that there 8 no idea on the Briton's part of abandoning that field to the United States or giving up any of the ad- vantages which had been won by patient, systematic endeavor before the war. Great Britain has been obliged to sacrifice this trade owing to the war, but if there was any doubt about the efforts which it would put forth to re- claim it, it is shattered by this ex- pression of opinion. That country will not only set out to recover what has been temporarily abandoned, but it will do its utmost to enter other flelds | end it will find great encouragement from “the tariff for revenue only pol- fey of the present administration. The way to forestall such an invasion of this country by foreign producers is to provide the protection which re- publican success will insure. We had ® taste of the effect of the Under- wood-Simmons tariff before the war opened and there is no desire for a Tepetition. GREECE HEADED TOWARDS WAR. ‘With the resignation of the Greek cabinet, if reports to that effect from London are true, Greece 1s brought nearer to the actual participation in the war. The Kalogeropoulos minis- 4ry was favorable in some respects to the entente allies but it was not in others. There were members who avere recognized as being decidedly German in their sympathies and for that reason it was impossible to make progress in the negotiations with the entente group. For that reason it has been necessary to overlook the cabinet in such arrangements as the allies have been endeavoring to make with Greece and deal directly with King Constantine, which points to the necessity of a different ministry, and accounts for the delay in Greek ac- tion. If on the other hand Greece is hesi- tating until it sees how Rumania is going to make out the effect of the defeat at the hands of Falkenhayn will be discouraging, but being foi- lowed by the resumption o« the activ- ity of the Russians in the effort to take Lemberg, the recovery of the Ru manians in Transylvania, the new strength which they are showing by crossing the Danube and threatening Mackensen’s forces at the rear after his advance in the Dobrudja has al- ready been checked, to say nothing of the success of the Serb army in its fight for the recovery of Monastir, whatever unfavorable features. there are just at the present time are more than offset by the .favorable, and Greece must realize that the longer it delays its decision the more compli- cated becomes the situation at home and the poorer are its chances of fa- vorable negotiations with ths entente. THE DEMOCRATS AND C!VIL SER- VICE. In a recent address made by Vice President Marshall he took up the question of civil service, during which he took occasion to refer to it as the “snivel” service and .n speaking for the administration said: “Our only regret was that we couldn’t pry more of the appointees loose and fill their places with democrats. If there is any office under the government that a democrat cannot fill I believe that office should be abolished.” He may have considered that he was bolstering up the administration by such a statement, or he may have in- dicated what might be expected In the future if the democrats should be suc- cessful, but he nevertheless necedlessly raised the point regarding the admin- ration’s attitude towards eclvil se ice which is likely to cause no e of bother. The administration has shown none too much respect for civil service. It has used every opportunity possible to pry appointees loose that their places might be filled by friends of the ad ministration. The spoils system has been brou t back into existence with a vengeance regardle: of the pledges made in behalf of civil service. Th treatment of the fourth class postmas- ters took place not so long ago that rgotten and neither has the or-| der which prevented access to the vil service commission’s records. Marshall puts htmself and the administration in the same class wi William Jennings Bryan and his “d serving democrats. OPPORTUNITY FOR PREVENTION. While plans are being made to arouse interest in the importance of fire prevention, it is not possible to place too much stress upon it as ap- plied to cities, but it should also be remembered that too much attention cannot be given to this same ques- tion &s applied to forest fires. In this state and in others as well there is a large amount of woodland. | It all represents investment upon the part of individuals, the same as house, a place of business or a manu- tacturing plant and it is highly impor- tant that those who travel such terri- tory either with or. without the per- mission of the owner, should do their utmost to see that they are not the means of starting a fire which will T sult in‘large financial los The season is at hand when many are tramping throu h the woods. Many go simply for pleasure and oth- ers are in quest of game but what- ever their purpose is in trespassing, it behooves th to see that there is nothing in their actions which will re- t in any way detrimental to the owner’s interests. All that is re- quired is a determination to see that carelessness does not get the upper hand of good judsment and a lit! thought when it comes to throwing matches about, in discarding a lighted cigarette or cigar, or in knocking ashes from a pipe to see that the fire is stamped out or is not cast irto a lot of combustible material. Thous- ands of dollars are lost each year through just such heedlessness all of which could be prevented if there was but the proper respect for the respon- sibility which each individual should assume, e EDITORIAL NOTES. ‘When Rumania is pushed backward in one direction it appears to have the ability to go ahead in another. | There are results which would in- dicate that the “dry” forces used “tank” cars in their fight at the polls. The gan on the corner says: Con- fession may be good for the soul but it is often exceedingly rough on the reputation. It may be as claimed that money is a lubricant, but most people will agree that it applies more to the out- go than to the income, After a most interesting contest the decks are mow practically cleared for the world’s series and it promises to be a fight to the finish. It is not recalled that President Cleveland ever tried to support his actions by putting forth the question “What would you have done?” In was stay have those towns where the election won by one or two voters, the at homes who are dissatisfled no one to blame but themselves. The price of milk is on the increase, but there will be few who will envy the farmer on his route between now and next March, increase or no in- crease. Now the democrats are feeling anxious over the way the campaign is being run but they will realize that there was something else the matter after November 7. Bvery operator of a motor vehicle has cause to shout for joy, if he has had occasion to go that way, at the announcement that the stretch of road at Bolton Notch is to be improved. Inasmuch as an allied aeroplane has crossed Bulgaria from Saloniki and reached Bucharest, it is possible that the air route may vet be resorted to for moving the wheat crop of Russia. If that joint commission on the Mexican situation plans to shift as the mercury drops, it will have time to reach the border and find out the conditions by actual observation, be- fore the discussion about conditions in Mexico is finished. letin of the National Geosraphic So- clety, based on a communication to the Society from George Higsins {Moses, formerly United States minis- | tive CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE “Papa,” began Bobby after dinner. “A lot of the fellers have been going to the stores and getting things, you know.

She don't look half so good In her fancy stuff as Nellie Foster, who won't dress up i a whole lot of froshy things. Shouldn’t you think it would make anybody tired to just look at Mamie Kelly?” “I am afraid I am no judge” his father said. “You see, you never in- troduced me to the young lady.” ntroduced!” snorted Bobhy. “Pooh! You wouldn'c never need to be introduced to Mamie Kelly. Why. soon’s she saw you she'd be your best friend!” “On your account, I presume?” “Aw, €1y, now you're kiding,” Bob- by said sheepishly. “No, what I mean she don’t wait to make friends— she just hustles and takes 'em! Billy used to think she was about all right, but now he stays friends because she's so terrible-good in arithmetic and his- tory.” “Splendidly sincerc,” said his father.

So scaniy indeed have become these opportunities that I remember one occasion when a_steamér came in with 80 Greeks on board who, hay- ing ‘made their pile’ in the States had come back to sunny Hellas, but after visiting their native villages and see- ing how meager were the rewards to be gained, 100 of them promptly took passage back to New York by the same ship.” inctions are unknown. | “So Billy has to help you? think meti “Oh, sure not, yowre a shark!

There was once a chateau in Thicp- val. The cellar is still there, roofed by the remains of the dweliing, bricks, stone and mortar in a thick shell of pounded debris which protected it from penetration by even nine ard 12- inch high evplosives. Here the Ger- mans waited, smoking their mild ci- gars and drinking soda water which was brought up through shell-proof underground tunnels while tbe ruins over their heads were belabored vain- 1y by the British artillery. They had the sense of security of an early Kansas settler when he went Dbelow and closed his cellar door dur- ing a cyclone Of course they had a machine gun ready to welcome _the British bombardment stopped. _When that gun began rattling Mr. Thomas Atkins took cover and . considered Wavs and means of silencing it.

As a mat- sht | tebrated ponderosity in and out of the shell holes, made a quick finisa of the cellar and its occupants. The taking of Thiepval and ths Zol- lern redoudt, which lies between it and Courcelette, was a wonderful bus- iress. Thiepval was held by the One Hundred and Eightieta German regi- ment, which had been there for a long 'time. According to prisoners, the defenders had fortified the command- ing ridge with an amazing series of ramified_tunnels and dugouts. They had dug into the chalky earth with beaver-ilke industry watil they were safe under a shell fire which would have turned a fort like Mau- beuge or Liege or any other of the pre-war type into the jumbled grave of its garrison. The men of the One Hundred and Eighticth asked permis- sion to vemain in Thiepval, giving word that it would never be taken from them, and the German army command consented. Not only at this village, but all alons the ridge upon which hangs the while Anglo-French movement was the same maze of warrens where the Germans lived with ali the comforts of home.

Most of those encountered along the Strand, in Pic- adilly and other promenades of the West End, are from Canada, Austra- lia or Zealand., The wounded English “Tommie” s more often found in the suburbs, in tne neigh- Dborhood of his old home.
