OVERHEAD WIRES.

Wednesdays storm furnished strong arguments for
the burial Of wires and cables especially hghtension
wires. Through the merest good fortune no serious
accidents occurred for it is estimated that hun
dred poles fell in different parts of the city Networks
Of wires lay the streets and sidewalks. Four
horses were killed from live wires.
Say that four men or four women or four children
had been killed. instead Of four horses by fallen high
tension wires That would not have been remarkable;
in fact It is wonder that several persons were not
injured killed. According to report boywas in
jured, perhaps fatally, by receiving shock while
leaning against trolley pole at vandeventer avenue
and Morgan street. For about two hours Tuesday
Olive street were stopped BY the grounding Of
feed wire
There are three strong apparent reasons why poles
should be raxed and wires put underground The first
Is public safety the second lie public convenience the
third is the improvement Of the service which is
interest common to the companies and the people.
There is no necessity to expand the lesson from
Wednesdays storm. 1T 10 plain and emphatic enough
Provisions should be made at an early date to get
rid Of many poles and overhead wires possible
and as soon as possible. Especially should high
tension wires be buried.

TRIALS OF REFORM.

Reform is periodical awakening, made necessary
by the ethargy of good citizens and the activity OF
bad citizens During the time Of Its existence good cit
liens vglant and demonstrate interest in public
AFFAIRS when it subsidies public business is transacted
by spoilsmen. The reason that reform does not
take the shape Of permanent good government is that
the good citizen, having accomplished momentary
demption, reapses into inattenton. Satisfied with
his work. he feels that the government will take care
of itself. a,sss
The process of reform Is arduous and varied 1t de-
ponds upon conditions the state Of public opinion and
leader Many leaders fall before the right leader
arrives on the scene. Not infrequently the right
leader, after the first battle is won is left alone on
the field to bear the brunt Of attack from the enemy
and to endure the vuperation of his own supporters
When his term expires he is pleased to bid farewell
business as possible.
Yet there are brilliant and happy exceptions to this
rule Occasionally leader is found who masters the
situation, retains domination and by both personality
and achievements holds large. faithful and enthus
astic following. Generally, however, reform its
course in all too short time the leader fails to get
hearty encouragement and the agents Of corruption
and misrule regain their sway.
st. Louis may prove exception in this respect.
Reform may not only be continued, but expanded.
Here there is prospect that the foundation is es-
tablished for good government which will last dec
ade or more. disagreement affected public morals
and the public treasury Good government has brought
economy, system and permanent Improvements.
What is required, in order to perpetuate good gov
eminent and make advancement progressive is that
all good citizens should be familiar with public affairs
and the and reverses of Public officers They
should know public business and public officials.
They should understand conditions and be qualified to
vote intelgenty at all elections. And understanding,
they should vote; vote at every election.
The hardships Of reform are borne by the leaders,
by those who make the struggle and who meet the
spoismen face to face To these the citizens owe
out Of justice and for the sake Of the
city This encouragement will be sufficient II 1t shows
satisfaction with the work done and endeavor to
perpetuate the reform.

The architectural character of American buildings

we're quality does not invade the realm of education
is reason for congratulation and proof positive that
the public mind is not wholly occupied with the cent
per cent"
majority of new educational structures, to use
the architects terms, are, broadly speaking Late
Gothic or English Collegiate" In some respects
ours differs from the English style and achieves
individuality. The result is quiet dignity, both of
mass and Of line. The dull-red uncut granite used
as material adds note of COLOR and the whole effect
Is consonant with the purposes for which the build
ings are designed
st. Louis compares favorably with her sister cities
in possessing such examples Of superior taste The
new Yeatman and Mckinley high schools, the EN-
erson, Edward Wyman, Cote Brilliante and Blow
public schools be cited. Principal Of course,
the new Washington University buildings, which are
planned individually and placed collectively in ac
cordance with the most advanced conception Of col

of the American college edice may be seen advan
