The wear and tear of mind and body
in the school room for nine months in
the year is something that few appre-
ciate who have not gone through the
work. Its call upon the nervous sys-
TEN is something that we can readily
imagine in any calling that demands
exercise of mind as we'll as body. The
locomotive engineer experiences this.
The anxiety, the responsibility, to make
the necessary time, and TO carry the
train through in safety, makes us feel
the truth of the statement that when
the run on one Of our famous flyers is
over the engineer is almost ready TO
collapse. There are other callings
which we could meution in this con-
nection, and which for like reason
deserve ali the pay they get.

came inside to get a nearer and

many bought or returned later to

Apropos o: the proposition Of some
OF the inhabitants q what Is son to be
the Greater New York tha, -hac terri
tory should be separated from the rest
Of the state and made inso an hide
pendent comnonwealth. Il is recalled
that during the early days Of the civil
war a strong sentiment existed in New
York City antagoniStic 10 the cSntia-
ua;ioa Of hostiEtses. Fernando Wood
was then mayor o; the city. and early
IN the controversy he advanced the
suggestion that New York Secede from
the Union and become a free city.
Thi meant of course, is separation
from the state. The idea was never
submitted to a vote, and indeed caue
70 no poan1 beyond a great amount OF
discussion pro and con 50 far as the
separation Of the urban from the rural
elements IS Concerned. this scheme was
Identical with that Of today. save that
now the CITY Of Brooklyn and other
adjoining communities are Included in
the plan q partition. New York could
hardly have become a free city il 1861
without a struggle. probably saagui-
nary and certainly destructive Of vast
properties, for the government, would
unquesrt1uab!y have resisted such 4
movement quite as vigorously as it
fought the effort Of the Southern states
to Withdraw from the Union. Today,
IF course, there Is no question OF lrav-
ag the Union and the main oppos: don

ain residents Of Chicago, where tho
,onditi0ns as regards taxation, repre- |
and legislation and the rela-
ions 10 the state are somewhat similar
0 those in New York But thus far
lothing definite has come Of the plan.
Hhe prevailing opinion in this country, !
would seem. is rather in favor Of
