It will probably remain a long time un- Magistrate should try to equal tt. But it is interesting as an illustration of the freedom and ease of otir American official manners, With but one change of clothing, from day dress to evening dress, a President of the United States can attend any sort of function or ceremony, from a military review to the reception of an Ambassador. Contrast that with the etiquette that hampers the activity of Kaiser Wilhelm, who has to wear a military uniform to review a regiment, an admiral’s uniform to inspect a warship, a doctor's gown to visit a university and various other forms of dress for court occasions. On one of his visits to London, when lie had many functions to attend, he is | aid to have changed his clothes seven times in one day. Our President is a hale and happy man. He may be fat, but he isn’t flabby. He is having a good time. People are always glad to see-him. May he be ever able to eat two dinners on any day that occkeion calls for it. | + AN AMBITIOUS PROJECT. F the project to form a co-operative society to include the seven thousand retail dealers of the) city it may be anid that it has the merit of bold- + Be ness, even if it have no other. It is but a short time ago that complaint was made of a partial combination of retailers in certain quarters of the) city, and according to etatements made by the! complainants the operation of the echeme was distinctly prejudicial ‘to the general good. | What may be expected of the euccessfal organization of much a} co-operative society as is outlined in the proposed project? The promoters eay there will be economy in purchasing, in ad- vertising and in delivery of goods, and that the public will get a share of the benefits of these economtes. They point to the results of similar co-operative societies in Great Britain as evidence of what is to be expected. But no co-operative society in Great Britain has wndertaken to dominate the entire retail trade of @ large city. Such domination if once established would be « temptation to shut out new comers, In other words, what was begun as co-operation to help trade might end as conspiracy in restraint of it. ———_ +4 — THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. 2 Y a vote of thirty to two the Board of Educa- tion disapproved the sections of the Gaynor char | ter providing for the abolition of the present Board and the creation of @ new board of seven members who are to be paid for the service and who are to be a department af’the city government. | i“ The vote, of course, was not unexpected. No! body of men holding official place ever voted themselves out of office. Even the weary lords of the British House of Peers are not willing | to do that. But in this case the defense of the Board is valid and | Testa upon something more than a mere desire to continue in office. Mayor Gaynor, in advocating the change proposed by the new chatter, recently anid that out of forty-six members of the Board only"alout’ five really do anything except vote on roll call, and that the city furnishes the money for the schools it is not right the A control of them should be independent of the city. \¥ ngs” ead Gu *7 UNT MARTHA Lt reaesages afe on the! sary, sald Slavinsky, the glazier. t am naw shdelea He Reiger RE A , and, a ide, A 7 en Sure." aald Gus, “Do I go into Rep-|that stuff what they put on glas# to ting 1 think Toa got T .

A popular vote on that issue wottld be nearly a overwhelming as that in the Board ef Education. —__——-+4--_____ COST OF BAD STREETS. MONG the reasons given by the officials of the taxicab companies for the proposed increase in rates is this: “The condition of the str nts in New | York costs us at least ten cents a mile per cab. In London the streets are as level as a table, and the ally nothin cost of upkeep is practi There can be no gi Bef insaying the validity of sux a reason as that re we demand a taxi service as cheap as that of London we must provide as good roadbeds as London Kit the issue is not confined to taxicabs, Every ye et Tuns upon our streets has The, taxicab +} knowledge of ju » pay tribute to ine ople can keep account and obtain a fairly accurate t wha 1 roads coat them per mile, Or hieles cannot do that. It is, therefore, impossible to form a relia estimate of what the cost of such conditions is to the city as whole: But it is a safe saving that it costs more to have bad than it would to have good ones. 7) What ts the Diameter? t nc ‘ ete To'the HAitor of The Kvening Worl fis enais ¥ Ap n What readers can solve this 7 ‘ : i inthe easiest way?

So he an {nounced that he was about to depart on a long visit to Poland. And he placed the gov ernment during his absence in the hands of his deputy, Lord Angelo.
