The Standard Nuisance.

1t is gratifying TO note that Governor
Murphy in his annual message to the
New Jersey legislature vigorously at
tacks the advertising signboard null
sance, advising the lawmakers 10 pro-
hibit the increase of these unsightly
placards and so far as possible remove
those already in existence. He says:
New Jersey is a beautiful state. with
an attractive and varied landscape This
is gradually being shut out from the view
of the traveller. On the leading line OF
railway between Jersey City and Trenton
there were, in the early part Of December.
by actual count, LOCI signs. They are dis
figured by all sorts of etfigies of impossi-
BILE men and women, and they advertise
remedies for all the Ills that human flesh
is heir to, as well as foods and drinks and
the various contrivanCes born of human
ingenuity. If they increase it is not diff
cult to imagine the day when the trav-
eler will pass through an unbroken lane
Of signboards.
Governor Murphy suggests that in
taxation, made so high as to be effec-
tive, may lie a remedy for this sign
board nuisance which is particularly
obnoxious along the railway approach
rs to the eastern metropolis. In New
Jersey and some other states it is for
hidden by law to paint signs on nat
ural objects Possibly an extension of
the law would prevent the obliteration
of natural attractions by the erection
of huge unsightly signboards While
perhaps in lesser degree than New Jer-
sey, the whole country has to endure
these advertising monstrosities, which
are becoming more and more common
along the lines of travel leading to
the larger cities and towns 1t is de-
voutly to be hoped that some way may
be found by which they may be regu-
lated if not wholly abolished. The
whole country will therefore watch
with considerable interest New Jerseys
legislative attempts to abate the nui-
sance.

Preservation Of Old IrOnsides.

The action of the Massachusetts His
to provide at once for the repair of the
old frigate Constitution, so that it may
be put in commission as training
ship, is worthy of consideration. The
socety's plan is that the Constitution,
which is now tied to wharf at the
Boston navy yard, should be stationed
at suitable seasons at different points
along the coast, so that she may be eX-
hibited thus to large number of Amer
lean citizens.
1t appears that Old Ironsides has not
been kept in the best of repair, and
there is now danger that she may be
destroyed at any time by an accident
or in consequence of carelessness. 1t is
hardly to be conceived that she would
make an effective training ship. AT
best she could be used only as a. receiv-
ing vessel, and to put her indeed to any
practical use other than as the shelter
for a naval museum would seem like
sacrilege She is the only one of the
famous ships of the great naval force
of the early part of the century whose
fame was worldwide and whose eX-
ploits fill many pages of our national
history She should be regarded, there
fore, as a priceless relic, too dear to be
utilized save as stimulus to patriot
ism. Old Ironsides should certainly be
preserved

The condition of the members of the
Hebrew race under the Russian gov
eminent coDdnues deplOrable despite
the protests nf the civilized world At
times the Russian officials make a
feint Of relieving the situation, but
there is no apparent desire on the part
of the ear or his advisers to better the
condition of his Jewish subjects,
Some time ago the st. Petersburg au'
thorities sent out circular letter 10
the governors of the provinces concern
ed asking tteir opinion as to the laws
relating TO the Jews, the necessity Of
codifying them and what alterations
We're necessary. The governors have
now replied, generally in terms unla'
vorable to the Jews Some Of them
have even asked that all Jews shall be
expelled from the provinces under Their
jurisdiction. A few. however, take the
opposite view. They are in favor OF
abrogating all special laws aimed
against the Jews. This is notably Tue
opinion of Prince UruSsoif the new
governor of Bessarabia, in whose prov
ince is the town of Kishinetf, where the
recent massacre occurred.
Prince Urussoff's observations nave
provoked much comment. He lnSls|
that there is no real antagonlSm ID lis
government between the Jewish anu
Christian populations. He attributes d
good deal of the prevailing prosperity
to the industry of the Jews, VINO "le
not merely traders, but work as asIr
culturists on the land near the towns
Here they have been particularly SUE
cessful in the cultivation of the loo"V'
co plant. They are also very uSelu'
he says, in facilitating the export VI
Bessarabian wines to foreign countries

TYPICAL WESTERN WIFE.

How Oklahoma Governors Helpmeet
Accepted "a Position For Him.
The Tonakwa (Okla.) News directs
attention to the fact that Mrs Thomas
E. Ferguson, wife of the governor, is
the dean Of the newspaper women of
the territory.
Mrs. Ferguson is associate editor of
her husbands newspaper, the Watonga
Republican,, and she now and then not
only assumes complete control over its
columns. but in case her husband is
absent when he should be present she
acts for him and in his name. even in
political matters of Importance, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
For example, Mrs. Ferguson was en-
gagged recently in writing an editorial
article ON THE Open Door to the Ori-
ent'' when a telegram addressed to her
husband was laid on her desk. On
opening the dispatch she found that il
was from Washington, that it an
nounced the appointment Of her hus-
band to the governorship of the terri
tory and that it asked him whether he
would accept the place.

tended to everything for him much
more promptly and satisfactorily per.
haps than he could have attended to il
himself
1t is hardly worth while for the Ton
kawa News to remark that Mrs. Fer
guson is an ambitious woman. That
goes without saying. She is one Of
those western women who are never

To Save the Old Songs.

A collector of old English folk song
has recently struck gold mine in Som
ersetshire. In one village alone, of 800
habitants, he found forty folk songs,
none of which had ever been written
down, while several go back at least
three or four centuries And he by no
means considers the stock exhausted
but means to return to the same vii
lage and save some more from possible
oblivion, says the Baltimore Herald
For, of course, the death of one old
peasant in any village may mean the
loss of whole repertory of unpub
lished songs, and the idea of appealing
to the local authorities to try to save
old songs, as they already save old
buildings, is fast gaining ground
among folk song enthusiasts.

Mr.. Sol Oppenheimer delivered him

ances before the Hundred Year club in

of Mental Liberty to Longevity"
'To begin with" he declared. mental
slavery is hostile to long life. A Ger.

as mental manacles are undesirable.
Parents should not tell little ones that
children should be seen and not heard.
The minds of children should be allow

Everything" said Mr. Oppenheimer,
(which ennobles the mind strengthens
the body. That which debilitates the
mind weakens the body. Love shackles
the mind. for when Il man is smitten
with the charms of Il young lady he
has to agree with her father in politics
and her mother in religion. Marriage
is one of the worst euSlaVcrs.
THE state of being in love is produc

When President Roosevelt was in
Grand Island. Neb., last summer on his
way to the Pacific coast he wore a
SLOUGH hat which excited the admira-
ton Of the veterans at the Old Sol
diers' home there, who turned out to
greet him, says an Omaha dispatch.
They continued to talk about that
hat during the summer and the ensu-
ing fall. and efforts We're made by
them to procure it from the president
as memento of his visit to Grand Is
land. When Judge Norris went to CON
gress from the Grand Island district
the inmates of the Old Soldiers home
requested him to call on the president
and try to get the coveted hat for
them.
Accordingly Judge Norris recently
called upon the president and told him
Of the desire of the veterans to get his
old hat. Colonel Roosevelt smilingly
hunted it up and gave it to the CON
gresham, who sent it to the Grand Is

SNATCAEO FROM DEATH.

ulous and notable escapes from the aw-
full holocaust was that of daughter
of one of my friends. She is a tall
and slender girl, which may have been
an advantage when the manner of her
rescue is considered. She was one OF
the panic stricken throng that wa
rushing for the exits, and when the
awful crush came she was wedged as
if in the grip of wise in the mass of
struggling humanity and could not
move to help herself. The heat of the
flames that were behind admonished
her that the only way of escape was in
front. and that was already blocked
by the bodies of the fallen.
"She believed that her last conscious
moment was passing. and with are
ligious impulse she raised her hands
and clasped them in an attitude OF
supplication. while her lips breathed a
prayer for help or of self commitment
to her Maker Just at that instant a
pair of strong arms were thrust ovel
the wall of dead and the appraised
hands We're grasped in those of stur.
dy hero, who lifted the fainting girl
from her grewsome surroundings and
snatched her from the veritable jaws
of death She was saved Her prayer
for succor had been answered. and in
the rush and hurry of the work of gen
oral rescue she did not even learn tn.
