It is also said that the pleasure in the water system is cut down. It is true that the city has been exceed ingly fortunate in not haviug any serious tires of late, and it may be that on account of this that a certain amount of laxity have crept in. With buildings increasing and becoming more congested, the risk of lire be­ comes greater, and for that rea­ son there should be :ncreased vigilence in having everything in readiness whenever the tire alarm is sounded. The boys who. have kept the hose com­ pany together for many years ere deserving of a good deal of credit, but the business men must take a little more interest in the volunteer tire fighters. One of the first speeches made by Mr. Wilson after his nomination last summer was at a rural gathering in New Jersey. “ Here we are at a farmers’ picnic,” he said, “and on this day I suppose we might say that the farmers occupy the center of the stage in our politics. I have seen the interests of a great many classes specially tegarded in legis­ lation, but I must frankly say that I seldom see the interests of the farmer regarded in legislation. As governor of New Jersey, the state of monumental favors to inflated corporations, the farmer may seem a small figure in busi­ ness But there are forty-seven other states, chiefly much larger in area.

Mr. Wilson is about to put his horny handed vigor to the plow and drive his furrows straight and deep. It will be another farmers’ picnic and undoubtedly a novel, if not enjoy­ able season.

Mr. Underwood says the tariff is to be revised from agate to zinc. This is the bugle note before the fray. The special session next year may end with agate still shivering on the doorstep. An incubator said to have been used by George Washington was made in 1712. If the Father ot the Country had ever tried a contri­ vance of that kind he would not have been satisfied with one made twenty years before he was born, nor would Benjamin Franklin have failed to originate something better. A lecturer blames trusts upon New Jersey’s loose incorporation laws. This trouble, whatever its extent, is just the same as when Woodrow Wilson was elected gov­ ernor.
