Her finger pricked up spray

Why, then, must sweets and sorrows be

ing: LAS a gentleman, l pledge my word that

among the thousands whom have met, have not
found any greater percentage of bad people thah

bs no sense in dily-dallying by extending the
rights of Jews The only course to take Is to
give absolute equality to all citizens, regardless Of
creed and nationality. Only by giving this answer

oCR OUTGRoWV STREETS.

Mayor McClellan's appointment OF a commits
sion to systematize the management of the
streets Of New York Is almost the first recog-
milton IN large way Of the problem of every
great city. How shall 1t keep its life elood cir
cnaung in its narrow arteries? The streets are
always laid out for a two or three story town
AS the city grows and piles fifteen. eighteen or
twenty stories on top Of the original three or
four, the street surface room remains the same
Twenty stories discharge their population into
Nassau street for instance, which was orig
inally adapted for about two stories There is
no room for pedestrians on the sidewalk: indeed
If vehicles were kept off Nassau street there
would be hardly more than necessary space In
the whole street for pedestrians Nassau street
is an exaggerated case, but it illustrates the tre
rnendous Importance to the public which piling
story upon story-city upon city, so TO speak
has given TO the inelastic street surface.
Not merely does the skyscraper crowd the
sidewalks with pedestrians. but 1t brings pro-
portionate increase OF vehicles to the roadwaye
A twenty story building calls to its service ten
times as many trucks and delivery wagons as
two story building. The congestion OF traffic
IN the streets, the slow moving Of goods in tran
sit Increases freightage makes the necessaries
or life cost more to the public than they would
IL time could be saved in handling them, and
puts drain upon business which tends to drive
II into more commodious neighborhoods. The
feamsfer wastes hours IN the most congested
secttons. Every Inch OF street surface SPACE is
Of more value to New Workers. now than ever
before and will go on increasing in value as we
90 from twenty TO thirty or forty story buildings
with one story streets. Therefore 1t is impos-
sfble to proceed indefinitely with the old sIip-
shod methods OF street management. There
must be Intelligence. system and responsibility
The business interests of New York require IT,
The health and comfort OF the people demand It.
There Is need Of some intelligent authority
whose business 1t would be TO see that every
possible inch Of the surface Of the streets WAS
kept always available for the public use. Pave
ments should be torn up only as a last resort
not as the first and when torn UP they should
be restored with the greatest expedition posi-
bic. The Mayor complains OF the public service
corporations. The cheapest way for the public
service corporation which is temporarily appro-
pr!atfng TO It's own convenience part of the
public streets Is often the dearest way TO the
general public When such corporation rips
ZIP a much used street It does its work in the
way most economical TO itself But let no one
think there lie public saving. Some one pays
what the corporation saves The merchants
pay IN the loss OF use Of the street In the forcing
OF their carriage to other already oyercrowded
roads. The public pays La inconvenience. in

vate occupation Of the streets Is unlortunateiy
necessary but II should be intelligently reduced
to a minimum. Let no man save at the public
expense II he can by reasonable expenditure
avoid inconveniencing the public. The old and
amiable system of letting everybody DO as he
likes with the streets Is good neighooriy, but
an intolerable nuisance. Let there be some
intelligent balance struck between regard for the
individual and the general needs. Let us bear
In mind that New York is a town which has
already outgrown its streets.

New York is suffering from plague OF unclean
streets. II has reached the acute stage, where
many residents preparing leave town to
escape epidenics OF colds and throat diseases,
which physicians declare to be inevitable in the
present dirty condition Of the city Houses stores
and streetcars filled with the accumulations OF
dirt whirled by every wind gust, and II was so
offensive this week that before the big department
stores men were kept constantly wettng the side

BLACK POWDER PLANT WILL
BE ERECTED AT SWALLOWS

Swallows will have a powder plant
after all. The announcement has been
made from an authentic source that
the Dupont Powder Company will util-
ize the land 1t has purchased there
and will soon commence the building
of a plant in which black powder will
be manufactured. The high explosives
will be manufactured at the Sedalia.
Colorado. plant. which Is in course Of
construction.
The water problem defeated the
plans for a powder factory when the
building plans were first considered.
After the land had been purchased the
Denver & Rio Grande Railroad com
pany had built spurs into the property
and building material had been put on
the ground it was found that suitable
water could not be secured. The river
water would not do for the manufac~
ture of high explosives. and after re-
peated attempts to sink wells 1t was
