vice?"
Would it not be better If both par
ties would pay more attention to the
real merit of aspirants for office, and
select those best fitted for office?
Why select for commissioner men
notorious for their lack OF system and
consequent lack of success In their own
business?
Why select ward scrubs for members
OF the city council,an ignoramuses as
members OF the Board of Education?
Is itcommon sense or anything but
a crime against society to select for
treasurer a man who doesn't know a
bank book from an almanac; or man
for assessor who Is not a man of strong
character and with no experience in
values;or man for Sheriff who hasn't

Greeks as Fruit Vendors.

A recent issue of this paper con-
tanned an article telling Of the regula-
tons Of the health department TO pre-
vent the sale Of unwhOlesome fruit
Health Officer Woodward said that no
complaints were now received against
vendors, and that he was pleased that
conditions existent in other cities were
not TO be found here II was stated
that Greek vendors had previously
been hauled up for selling decayed
fruit. Peter Mantio, of Cokas & Man
ito, of Louisiana avenue, says that the
article in question did an injustice to
the Greeks engaged in the fruit bust
ness. They are not push-cart men, and
their wives do not drag street pianos
about the city. On the contrary. he
says, the Greeks are engaged in the
best class Of fruit business, as well as
other industries. and have been sub
ject to no complaint.

DOCTORS WANT TO GO FAST
Object to Police Interference When
Making Calls.
Seek Permission TO Carry Red Cross
So Autos May Be Hurried While
on Way TO Visit Patients.

Many local doctors are complaining
against the alleged practice Of policemen
in holding them up when they are hurry
ing in automobiles 70 answer sick calls,
and when, in some instances, a few min
utes means life OF death.
These physicians argue that in many
cases a life depends upon their getting
TO the patient as soon as possible. and
that an explanation 60 a policeman. &C
companying him to the station-Eouse, and
paying collateral TO the amount OF S. or
SO takes up much valuable tine, tie loss
of which may result seriously to a patient
There is a movement on foot 10 bring
this matter before the authorities, with
the request that some sort Of a remedy
be provided Many Of the doctors-in
fact, practically all Of then-are OF the
opinion that they should be exempt from
the speed law when answering sick calls.
as are ambulances and fire engines.
Many remedies have been suggested and
many feasible plans advanced, but it
seems that the most practical and the one
most in favor is the issuing to every
registered physician an enameled tin or
iron red cross. about ten inches in length.
TO be carried conspicuously on the ma
chine. These signs would be registered
and carried in plain view, just as the
license numbers. And in all cases when
physician is on his rounds or making a
hurry call this cross should be on the
machine. there being a penalty provided
for its absence in such an instance. This
measure, it is said, would at once make
everybody acquainted with the nature OF
the errand Of the driver Of the machine
and would prevent so-called officious po-
licemen from molesting them.
A similar scheme is in operation in Phil
adelphia and New York. and, although it
has been abused. has proven very salts
factory. It is claimed that in those in
stances where the privilege was abused
II was by persons using the signs indis-
criminately as a blind. but that If the
scheme proposed was put In operation
here, witl1 direct police supervision. as in
the licensing Of the general run Of ma
chimes, there could be no such abuse.
There are many others who think that.
in addition TO the red cross sign, physi-
clans should have a gong attached 10
their motor car or carriage.

information by cable that the manufac-
turers Of the United States viii be
given space TO make exhibits at a great
national exposition which the Brazil
ian government has determined to hold
at Rio Janeiro in 1908.
A novel feature of this exposition
will be that no foreign governments
viii be invited officially to participate,
but foreign exhibitors will be permitted
TO display their products upon making
application through the proper official
channels. The purpose Of the EXPOSE
ton is to display the vast resources Of
Brazil and make them better known to
the world
In informing the director of the bu-
reau about the plans of the Brazilian
government, one of its high officials
states that It is hoped that large num-
bers of Americans will take advantage
Of this opportunity TO familiarize
themselves with the progress and de-
velopment of Brazil One Of the chief
events in connection with the eXposi-
ton will be the visit to Brazil Of the

INSPIRED FROM OYSTER BAY
President Responsible for Proposed
Prosecution of Trust Heads.
Observes that Governments Activi-
ties Against Corporations as
such Has Proved Ineffective.

Developments Of the past week indicate
that the national administration is work
ing out its new policy Of dealing with the
dad trusts
Hereafter. the special efforts Of the De-
partment of Justice are 10 be directed
against men rather than things. This does
not mean that the pending civil suits
against the great corporations are TO be
allowed 70 lapse. They will take their
usual course in the courts, but in addition
q determined attempt viii be made to put
some of the offending magnates behind
the bars,
Attorney General Bonaparte's recent in
terviews along this line were inspired
from oyster Bay, It is known that the
President for some time has been
seriously considering whether the more
effective remedy for trust evils is not the
Imprisonment OF responsible officials
rather than fines against the corporations
He has observed that the activities of the
government against the corporations as
such have failed 10 cause any appreciable
diminution in the number of violations of
the antitrust and rebate laws.
Reports are constantly reaching Wash
ington of renewed Qffenses. The investi-
cations by the Bureau Of Corporations
make il clear that the Standard Oil Com
pany, for instance, has been absolutely
defiant of the law right up TO date. Other
concerns that are under the ban of gov
ernmental displeasure have shown no ca
Eerness 10 get back into the straight and
narrow way
Actions have been brought against near
" all of the offending trusts but the
President believes that he has not yet
struck at the real root Of the evil. This
he will now proceed TO do. As indicated
by Bonaparte, as soon as the govern
ment shall have obtained convincing evi-
dence against some law-breaking trust
magnate, criminal proceedings viii be in
stituted looking to Imprisonment. These
who have kept in touch with the situa-
ton would not be surprised 10 learn OF
an arrest Of this character at any time
The President has taken cognizance Of

Of the Treasury. is at the jamestown
Exposition to impress upon the officers
Of the show the necessity OF making pay
ment at once TO the Federal government
on the loan Of 100000 advanced in aid of
the exposition. The alternative of having
the government take charge and collect
the gate receipts will be presented to the
exposition managers. The first payment
Of 40 per cent of gross receipts was due
July !, but Secretary COrtelyou was con-
siderate enough to extend the time for
payment until July 81. Other payments
were TO be made at the rate of 100000
every fifteen days, commencing August 1.
Not a single dollar has been returned to
the government, although three payments
are overdue.
Secretary Cortelyou was favorably i'm
pressed with the exposition when ne Wis
tied it early in July, and felt disposed to
give the management a fair opportunity
to make good. It was well understood that
the exposition was not ready to open on
the date originally fixed in April, and that
It was subjected to much financial en-
barrassment thereby. The blame was
not wholly due to the management, for
Congress had held back for several months
the bin giving the loan, and during the
Period of uncertainty work on the build
ings was practically suspended.
But the increased attendance in July
and August. now that the exposition is
in good working order, has not yielded
any money to be applied on the loan by
Congress. The Federal authorities have
decided not to permit the most profitable
season Of the show TO slip by without
seeing a material reduction of the debt
due Uncle Sam.
