DR.. Bruno Tcrne's idea for disposing
of city garbage and sewage is the best
one yet. He would have all garbage
and sewage treated in vast laboratories.
This could be done without any offensive
odor being attached. The material
would be separated into fat and fertil-
izer. The grease could be used for soap
making and for lubricating oil. The
residue. after drying, constitutes an adj
mirable fertilizer. which is II per cent
of the weight of the original material.
1t contains ammonia and phosphoric
acid, exactly the substances which agri.
culturists bring at large expense from
Florida, South America and elsewhere.
Heat kills all the microbes that would
be dangerous to health III this way of
treating the city refuse. Leibig calcu-
lated that III il city of 900, 900 every
year $1,000, 900 pounds Of fertilizing
material are produced and mostly 20 to
waste.

The County Road system.

Governor Roswell p. Flower of New
York believes that the system of county
road repair and building is superior to
any other. He tells us why in The
North American Review. He thinks it
gives exactly enough local option in road
management, not too much nor too lit
tie. a county board Of road supervisors
in connection with an engineer should
have full charge of all roads in the coun-
ty. They should say which were county
roads and which not, should lay out
new roads and turn others out TO be
abandoned, as they saw fit.
The law III New York state already
recognizes the county supervisor system
Of road management. Under the boards
jurisdiction fall all roads outside Of in
c%orporated villages and cities. Road re-
pair is provided for by an appropriation
Of the supervisors out Of the county
funds. They are the ones who appoint
the expert engineer. In New York the
supervisors term is three years.
To build new roads or meet extraordi-
nary expenses in repairing old ones the
New York law allows the supervisors to
borrow money and issue county bonds at
a rate Of interest not greater than ) per
cent. The main difficulty in the way of
persuading farmers that this plan j, the
best II will be the apparent grcitrr
cost of it. The governor has found that
the money wasted under the present sys-
TEN would annually build seven miles Of
macadaInized road, in every county.

If Canada or China wants to whip US,

If Canada or China wants to whip Us,
now is her best time TO begin. We are
just in the act Of changing our Spring
field army rifles to the new one of small
caliber which has been ordered for the
United States army. Work at the army

grown old fashioned at as rapid Il rate
as our fighting ships did. The United
States will hcnceforth use the small cali
Der rifle at present the vogue among the
armies Of Europe. 1t will require per
haps two months for the factories to be
ready to turn ont the new rife. Mean

The Ideal Newspaper Arain.

Walter Morton Payne, associate ed
itor of The Dial, thinks he knows what
it ought TO be. Like most gentlemen
who live upon an exalted moral plane and
edit weekly religious or aesthetic papers,
Mr.. Payne knows exactly the needs of
a daily newspaper. He tells us in The
Forum. Most men know more about
editing a daily paper before they have
tried it Than they ever do afterward.
Many of Mr.. Payne's ideas are good,
however. For instance, he says TO the
editor: Don't lie. Don't use il~literate
English. Don't pander TO the tastes of
the ~depraved." That is very good, but
many will disagree with the gentleman
when he declares that a newspaper, ito
he avowedly partisan, must abandon self
respect altogether" Much better are
the three aims he lays down as those
which lie behind the conduct Of every
well conducted newspaper:
First-As q collector of news, pure and SIM
pie, its work should he done in the scientific
spirit, placing accuracy of statement above all
other considerations
Second-ln its selection and arrangement of
the news thus collected il should have regard
to real rather than sensational values. 1t
should present its facts in their proper perspec-
tive (Which is still, of course, n very different
perspective from that required by permanent
history, ana it should carefully exclude, or
at least minimize TO the utmost, those facts
which ii cannot possibly benefit the public to
know, or of which the knowledge is likely TO
rulgarizG popular taste and lower popular
standards of morality.
Third-ln its ommCn upon the happenings
of the day or the week 1t is bound to be hon
est, TO stand for well defined principles. to ex-
press tine sincere convictions of it's intellectual
head and of those associated with him in the
work.
