The Protection % Piers.

The waterfronts of New York and
New Jersey have been frequently af-
tlicted with fire ever since the horrible
North German Lloyd disaster OF June,
1900. The latest visitation OF this sort
is the burning OF the Delaware. I.acka-
wanna & Western piers In Jersey City
on Sunday evening, The frequency OF
these fires. the enormous property loss
involved. the menace TO life and limb,
the danger 10 adjoining property
through the infiammable character Of
much Of the goods stored on the piers
and the great difficulty in fighting the
flames present problem which makes
experts pause and consider
The Tribune has been gathering the
views of men equipped TO speak author
Itatlvely on the subject OF safer piers
1t would appear that tireprocf con-
struction and increased appliances for
lighting flames which might break out
among the freight stored on piers are
the means most generally approved Of
guarding New York and It's neighbor-
Ing New Jersey cities against the de-
vourer which has caused such havoc
along their waterfronts In recent years,
The North German Lloyd Steamship
Company. with commendahle prompt
ness. rebuilt its piers In tireproof form,
and the announcement from the Lack
awanna company. progressive and
well managed corporation. that II will
do likewise is reassuring.
The piers now In process of con-
struction by the city In the Chelsea
district are practically proof against
flames, and all the piers that the mu-
nicIpallty has erected In the last seven
years are declared by the dock COM
missioner to be equally safe. Opinions
differ as to methods and materials, but
there can be no doubt that so long
as ordinary wooden wharves line our
waterfronts the recurrence Of the dis
asters of recent years is an ever pres
ent peril,
The cities OF Hoboken and Jersey
City are not faultless In regard to this.
With the enormous property interests
which their piers involve. they should
be equipped with modern tireboats.
The most effective way to fight pier
fires is from the water. This city
might not always Hnd It convenient
to lend It's fireboats. and never with
safety could II let all OF them go to
the Jersey side OF the river This
latest disaster ought 10 teach these
towns a lesson.--New York Tribune.

Those anticipating an eastern trip,
or a visit to the Louisiana Purchase
exposition at st. Louis. cannot afford
to overlook the advantages offered by

account of it's various routes and gate
ways, has been appropriately named
"The Worlds Fair Route"

the Missouri Pacific trains from Dem
yer or Pueblo, with the choice of either
going direct through Kansas City, or

VIII II Pay to Go to coIIeasf

Young people often ask us, "Will 1t
pay to go to college If one Is going to
be merchaat, a druggist, a farmer
etc.,"
Whether or not a liberal education
pays. depends upon the ambition OF
the inquirer. DO you want to be just
as much Of a man as possible, or do
you want merely to get as much money
as you can?
If your ambition Is simply to see how
many goods you can sell and how
much money you can rake together;
if you have no desire to reach out into
the broad fields. to be known as man
who amounts to something in the
world, who carries weight in his COM
munity; IL have no ambition to be a
man of broad, liberal, progressive
ideals; if you do not wish to know an
thing about your goods before they
reach your store, where they are made,
or the conditions Of the people who
manufacture them, and have no de-
sire to better their conditions; If you
have no ambition to make the world
a little better than you found It, then
a college education will probably not
do you much good. If 1t is simply go
ing to increase your capacity to grasp,
seize, and hold material things, to get
a little more away from others by your
long headed methods; IL it is only 60
ing to increase your shrewdness, your
ability to scheme ways and means Of
piling up more dollars, then do not
advise you to go. But If you want to
be of real help to your generation; IL
your ambition is to be just as much
of a man as possible, to be larger and
truer and nobler; If you wish to make
the most of the material of the Crea-
tor has given you, then get all the
knowledge you can transmute into real
power.
| notice that it has been the broadly
educated men that have enlarged and
improved the spheres into which they
have entered. AS rule, it has been
the boys who have been to college and
gained a liberal education who have
mixed brains with the soil, who have

disposal OF all the receipts was admitted
TO be a difficult problem.
