Boss McCarren Deposed.

The boss who is born of chicanery and
ingratitude hath but few days to live,
and is full of misery. Senator Pat McCar-
rem of Brooklyn, who had been advanced
from obscurity to influence and prosperity
by Hugh Mclaughlin, turned upon his
friend and patron last fall and helped hui
initiate him in the interests of Tammany
Hall. He was then proclaimed the boss OF
Kings county in succession to Mr.. Nc
Laughlin dethroned, and since then has
strutted his brief hour on the stage. Today
his downfall is announced. He and Boss
Murphy differed as to the presidential ques-
ton, and Boss Murphy set him aside.
Served him right. Remembering McLaugh-
Inns fate, Murphy probably thought 1T best
to safeguard his own interests against a
McCarren thrust This on the eve of to-
days committee meeting at Albany is I'M
doubtedly lending to that function a great
ly increased interest. ..

could have enforced his order by summon-

necessary, arrested and the whole work

at once, definitely. 1t Is futile merely TO
warn with police court prosecutions or 10
hold over the heads of the responsible ones
the threat of criminal rosscutions for man
slaughter in case of a collapse. The expert
ence Of the world today is that men will
take such risks for the sake of a little
economy or a larger gain. The margin Of
profit in some of these large building enter
prises is by no means great, and the pres
ent high price of materials and labor puts
premium upon skimping on all sides. In
this New York collapse much of the trouble
seems to have been due to the fact that
screw bolts were used instead of rivets. the
former being cheaper. In defense of the
use of bolts it is urged that rivets. on cool
ing, would have cracked the Tugs in the
cast-iron columns against which the steel
beams were fastened. The use of cast-iron
is a move toward dangerous economy 1t is
likely to weaken suddenly under pressure.
In this particular case the cast-iron col
umns diminished too rapidly in size toward
the top stories, and thus the laws of struc-
tural strength were ignored, if not the
building laws themselves.
Whatever the regulations, they will never
effectually safeguard the public from such
disasters. either during the construction of
the building OF after it's completion, unless
they are rigidly enforced by a sufficiently
large and properly empowered force of COM
petent inspectors. This branch of municipal
government cannot safely be neglected or
skimped by the dispensers of the public
funds.

A March Fantasy.

Oh for the sound of the merry-go-round,
And the swerve of tie switch-back car,
And the people who stalk down the long
board walk,
Where the candy and side-shows are!
Oh for the band with the leader bland,
With sad and eccentric air;
Oh for the cute little bathing suit,
That causes the crowd to starei
Oh, for the lay OF the barker gay,
Who grabs you and won't be shook!
Oh, for the grin that each face was in
When we all had our pictures took!
Oh. for the light of starry night
Near the cave where the mermaid dwells
Oh, for the crunch of a popcorn lunch,
And the crackle of peanut shells!
But alack and alas! What days must pass
Ere June Is once more aglow!
And it's sad to dream of such bliss extreme
While we SILVER and shovel snow.

Organdies.

1t is not too early in the season for the selection
of organdies, and the choice patterns already
selling rapidly. These delicate sheer textures are
strewn with soft coloring worthy OF description.
Among the most novel designs introduced this year
is cluster Of burnt with foliage of the soft
est green's on a white ground. This burnt tinge OF
pink is peculiarly beautiful and will be extensively
worn. Large sprays of blue Dresden roses trail
gracefully over another ground Of white. and the
same design is shown In exquisite shades Of pink.
Another dainty pattern is Of pins buds scattered
between tiny pin points of black which are a de-
cided novelty In this fabric. Pink poppes faunt
themselves bewitchingly a white ground and
soft yellow roses. lacs. lavender primroses and a
whole garden of soft hued flowers runs riotously
over the whole dainty collection.
Dainty laces, sheer tissues fImy7 gauges. lawns
and mousselines lavishly used for frilis and
founces, not only for the decoration of skirts and
waists, but will be utilized sleeve trimming.
Plated and killed in graceful length they are
used Modest rufhes or enchanting lounces.

From the Louisville CourierJournal.
1t may be the duty of both England and
this country to speak with clear. strong
voice when the time shall arrive for Rus
sia and Japan to formulate their treaty OF
peace. Twice has Russia fiagrantly violat-
ed her pledge to US to withdraw her army
or at least the bulk of it-from Manchuria
and to recognize our treaty with China
which entities us and the world to two
open ports. Certainly she can expect no
sympathy from this country while these
violated pledges are fresh in our memory
nor can she secure our confidence in any
further verbal promises.
