here today.

From the 1908 Paris Salons are sixty seven

Just out of the Custom House. Partly from the
Old Salon held in the Grand Palais and partly from
the younger Salon of the Beaux Arts. With them
are many of the other Salon pictures already exhib
tied in Colonial Hall.
Nobody has yet brought to this country from
the Paris Salons large single collection this.

The New York Judiciary.

The people of New York are to be con-
graduated on the nominations made for
the court of appeals. Two men who have
been serving on that bench with conspic-
uous credit-the one democrat, the
other a republican-are to be rewarded by
the Endorsement of both parties at the polls.
This comes near as is possible with US to
taking the judiciary out of politics. 1t is a
wise step, and particularly so in a state
where the judiciary has too often been
used by the politicians for partisan ends
Richard Croker used virtually to put price
upon the nominations for the bench in New
York city in the form of campaign assess
ments, and would deny denomination to
men who while on the bench had refused to
serve his purposes. The nomination OF
Judge Herrick for governor is praised in
some quarters principally for the reason
that as a judge he has discredited the
ermine by keeping up his political activity
The bench, by his retirement, will gain
whether politics does or not.

their judgment, and were disposed to look
little more closely into matters. Mr.. Bryan
tried to induce them to support free silver,
but they followed Mr. Mckinley, the fore
most champion of protection in the world.
The republican candidate talked protection
that year quite as much as he did sound
money In fact, the most telling sentiment
he uttered was contained in the phrase that
opening the mills of the country was far
more important than opening the mints.
The republican victory Of 1886 was fol-
lowed by the enactment OF the Dingley
law. The victorious party treated the YER
dict that had been rendered at the polls as
mandate" in favor of protection. when
the campaign of 1900 opened, the Dingley
law had been In operation three full years,
and the republicans. with Mr.. Mckinley
again at their head, boosted of what had
been accomplished under IT. The tar1n
record was unassaiiab1e, and Mr.. Bryan
tried the issue of Imperialism. But the
wage-earners stood by Mr.. Mckinley and
the Dingley law and rolled up bigger ma
jority than they had done four years be-
fore. The manufacturing states repudiated
Mr.. Bryan overwhelmingly.
If they have full faith in their contention,
let Mr. Hornblower and the Times induce
the Parker people to pitch the present cam
paign on protection, taking the ground that
it should be cut up root and branch at the
earliest possible day and genuine free trace
inaugurated. Outside OF the south, where
policies are never considered, the demo-
cratic party would not carry single state
on that proposition

Fire Fighting.

Philadelphia has given a practical test to
its high-pressure water service and found
1t efficient. a fire in the thick of the dis
trict where fire hazard is greatest and in
surance premiums highest was promptly
drowned. Conditions were favorable for a
big fire, but the torrent of water poured
into the flames quickly subdued them
that the loss was small and at no time was
nearby property menaced.
The high-pressure water main for fighting
fires Is not only a modern thing. but it is a
good thing. 1t is based on the principle
that it is cheaper to do a thing on a big
than on a little scale. More pressure can
be put behind the water by central pump
ing plant than by a score of puny fire en-
gines, Notwithstanding all their putting.
sputtering, spark-spitting, noise and confu-
sion. The water main is right on the spot,
and the engines have to travel varying dis
tances and arrive at different times. One
big stream may be more effective than
three streams each half it's size. Less water
is lost by evaporation and more reaches the
material that is burning. Often a stream
of water pumped by a fire engine is ex-
panded into steam and dissipated before 1t
can reach the material that is afire
High-preSsure mains should be laid in the
gradually extended till the whole city is
served. Eventually all cities will probably
require two water systems and two sets of
mains, for pure water or purified water
will be too precious for use in extinguishing
fires, flushing streets feeding the boilers of
manufacturing plants. etc.
improvements in fire-fghting methods and
appliances, urgent as they are are not more
pressing than improvement in construction
and extension of the use of "fireproof' or
slow-burning material in construction This
and increasing vigilance in supervision of
electric wiring, the care of heating plants
and the use of matches ought materially to
reduce the annual fire loss.
Protection against fire rests largely with
oneself. This idea was brought out by
Perez NJ. Stewart, one of the speakers at
the recent convention of the international
Association OF Fire Engineers in Chat
tanooga. He said
FROM many years of acquaintance with
the building trade in its various aspects
am convinced that the immense fire loss
OF the country-amounting in property de-
Slroyed and trade and time lost to unwa rds
OF S2oo.oo0.O00 annually-will be materially
reduced only through the adoption by indi
N4uua4s OF suitable means for self-protec.
ION small part of such means can be
secured by wise legal enactment but NV IA,

Jail for Adulterated Milk Dealers.
rom the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
1t is a satisfaction to know that the eff
forts of the state authorities and those OF
the county have resulted in such punish
ment of dealers in adulterated milk as Will
certainly have salutary effect on all OF
those who break the law. The work OF
cleaning out such dealers has only begun
and the campaign is not to end until the
person who buys bottle of mi k for a sick
baby has every reasonable guarantee that
II is pure and sweet. 1t has been common
ly supposed that infected milk was only
sold in the poorer quarters of the city, but
the Investigations of the authorities show
that there is no distinction in the deyiltry
practtced, since rich and poor have suffered
alike. OF course, there are many dealers
who never think of doctoring their supply
We hope that the great majority are in this
category, but enough has been proved to
show that there is grave necessity for con.
slant supervision.

The Record as to the Tariff

man tofhuiower said at Saratoga
that the American people have never as
YET given mandate to Congress to pass a
protective tariff nor have they ever approv-
ed such a tariff
Applauding the statement, the New York
Times says: 1T is literally true that the
American people have voted but once in the
last sixty years on protection. and then
condemned it,"
The Times refers to the campaign of
1892, when the democratic party made an
extreme pronouncement on the tariff uues-
tion. 1t Is much to be doubted, however. If
that pronouncement elected Mr.. Cleveland.
Has the Times forgotten the Homestead
strike. which happened just as the national
campaign was opening? Although the re-
publicans had had no hand in that matter,
the fact that Mr.. Carnegie WIS a republ-
can, and his great plant at that point was
enjoying the benefits of protection, caused
the strike to be used against the republi-
cans, and great many labor votes were in
nuenced by 1t.

dazed for moment, and. with her hand
pressed to her heart sank to the floor. 1t

Poisons and Weapons.

Attention has often been called TO the
ease with which men may supply them
selves with poison and weapons. Reguia-
ton of the sale of these dangerous articles
should be so stringent that they could not
be easily procured. New York recently
adopted an amendment to the sanitary
code restricting the sale of carbolic acid IN
concentrated form and declaring that drug
eists shall dispense no stronger than D
per cent solution of the acid-a solution
claimed to be amply strong for antiseptic
purposes and not strong enough for sui
eide. The belief is that would-be suicide
drinking this solution would be seized win
nausea and would eject the poison before
fatal injury was done.
Even this mild attempt at the correction
Of a gross abuse has met with opposition
and yesterday committees of druggists rep
resenting the Kings County Pharmaceutf-
cal Society and the German Apothecary So
ciety of Brooklyn protested to Health Com
missioner Darlington against enforcement
of the rule. One of the arguments used by
the protestants was that the regulation
would not greatly reduce the number OF
suicides, there being so many other deadly
poisons as easily procured.-H the regu-
latfon should reduce the number Of suicides
at all there would be a gain. If other
deadly poisons are so easily procured their
procurement should be made more diff
cult.
1t is almost as easy to buy deadly poisons
as to buy staple groceries. In a great
city there are sure to be found druggists
and drug clerks who are incautious, negli-
gent or possessed of a spirit of too great
accommodation. Perhaps in the future the
sale of poisons will legally be made only
at dispensaries directly under municipal
control and each purchaser will be re-
qured to show good cause for wishing to
make the purchase.
In the matter of deadly weapons there is
law against carrying them, and laws
against stabbing, shooting and wounding
with bludgeons, and yet shop windows are
full of ugly weapons placarded with
marked-down prices, bargain inducements
and every possible allurement to buy. 1t
is an invitation that ought not to be ex-
tended to anybody and is positive telp-
tation to weak-minded and vicious Ter
sons.
