THERE'S nothing stingy about
Mayor Baker. When he finds himself
overloaded with honors he is more than
willing to share with his party. For.
after all, the Democratic party is his
party and partisan success -is what he
is looking for. far more than personal
triumphs. as n consistent unselnsh and
loyal Democratic partisan. There are
few crumbs Of comfort for Democracy
in these times and what Mayor Baker
can nrovide for the starving faithful he
proposes TO furnish. especially as he
feels that he has such big supply by
virtue Of being the Democratic mayor
OF a Republican city.

EVEN Mayor Baker, one of the es-

has seemingly taken his election hon

First of all, Of course, comes the cap

grandeur Of his position, must at times
feel very lonely He lives in awful
state, a sentry (of marinesJ continually
guarding his door, and although he
does unbend at stated times as far as
inviting q few officers iodine with him,
or accepting the officers invitation to
dine in the ward room, this relaxation
must not come too often. The COM
mauder, who is the chief executive
officer, is in far better position as
regards comfort He comes between
the captain and the actual direction of
affairs. he has o spacious cabin to
himself, but he takes his meals at the

shares their merriment; the only subtle
distinction made Between him and
everybody else at such times 6ein2 in

The fire was confined TO the northern
side of the cellar and was among boxes

could not but think of the great good
that might have peen done in our own
country with the money which we are
now spending to maintain thelarmy in

been spent in irrigation in the western

would have reaped greater benefits from
it than it ever will by the retention of
