The decision OF the president TO pro-
mote Assistant Postmaster Morgan tC
the head of the New York pos office
| justifies the belief often expressed that
+, he would not disregard civil service
reform principles by appointing a
Republican district leader" TO sue
ceed Mr.. Wilcox. A reform confined
20 subordinates only would not
amount 10 much. Appointment for
ascertained fitness and promotion for
merit are good rules TO carry higher
up"
The metropolis is going to have a
fremen's heroes gallery"-a cabinet
in which will be kept the photographs
Of all fremen who die in the discharge
of duty The photogra phs OF all fire
men killed since the department was
reorganized have been collected and
have been arranged with written his
tory Of the circumstances connected
with their deaths. There are so OF
them, the first man having been killed
while on the way TO me in 1873.
This is an idea that every large city
would do well to initiate.
Every time the papers say some
thing about 'Japs' II hurts the Japan
ese people said a japanese in this
city a short time ago. I'VE call our
country Nippon, pronounced in the
Japanese tongue 'Nihon,' and Japan
ese man is 'Nihonjin.' Foreigners say
japanese and Japan because they
don't know how to pronounce the
real words. But when they call us
'Japs' we believe that ii Is term OF
derision, just as you speak Of colored
people as 'coons,' and all cultivated
japanese hate the term. None OF the
foreigners living in Japan would think
of insulting us by using the abbrevia-
ton. In Japan we call all white peo-
pie 'sayojin, which means western
men. Sayojin Is a most respectful
word"
Now that the summer has really
opened and the regular season has
closed, the roof garden theatrical
season begins-and what variety
of attractions! Yes, there is
the Paradise garden, also the
Jardin de Paris, both Of which
have their claims to novelty, to which
is to be added the st. Nicholas garden,
the Alhambra, with others, chief
among which is the Madison Square
Roof Garden, whose architect was
butchered on that very spot by Harry
X. Thaw-the richest man ever locked
up In an American prison. There are
at least S2,000,000 invested in New
York roof gardens, and thus far they
have made an average profit, besides
doing much to relieve the sweltering
masses. The st. Nicholas held a Wag-
ner festival simultaneous with the
Bayreuth celebration, and this honor
to the great composer attracted an ad-
miring crowd.
The views OF the Rev. DR.. Bass. who
advocates an anti-kiss courtship, are
utIlutu ny ANt" vi
women who declare that the courtship
of our grandsires was the courtship OF
our grandchildren will be, and in spite
of the Rev. DR.. Bass, true lovers vows
will still be sealed with kisses. DR..
Bass has declared Lovers should
young lovers hold each others hands
in token Of their pure affection.

the shocks OF galvanic battery. Great
God deliver us from the kissing dew
H." In reply, DR.. Ellen f. Miles
maintains that "a courtship without
kisses is like dinner without salt"
while Mrs. III. Herbert Knowles,
prominent member of the New Cen
tury Study Circle. the Woman's Health
Protective association, and n charter
member of the New Workers, says:
eliminate kissing and nothing replac-
es II. A pure love and pure kiss are
synonymous. I'm sure I'm not very
wicked, and | love TO kiss my hus-
band. In fact. would even go so far
as to say that kissing is absolutely es-
sential in a courtship."
The New York News Is winning the
title OF the revolver" by its incessant

The World also has its changes having
gained T.. Il. Lenhart from the San

of papers, one is led to notice the eff
