Silence and Science.

Before 1t was deternifled scientific
ally that smoke Is waste. smoke was
fixed as the final indication and proof
of prosperity. Today smokeless
chimney means nothing less than
thrift and good management Similar
ly we now hear that noise is proof of
urban life. progress and activity We
may answer that noise Is loss as surely
as smoke is waste. Decreased comfort
is loss and noise decreases comfort
Disturbed minas are loss through a re-
ductlon of mental force. But these
and similar consequences are indirect
loss. There is direct loss also. A rat

short lived vehicle. Otherwise rail

THEN AND NOW

When Mayor Duke wanted to pave
the city and embark on a line of civic
improvements. he was bitterly Knocked
and assailed by the State Capital,
Cash Barnes and few others. For
more than fourteen months Or. Duke
was brutally and unnecessarily criti-
sized and condemned. There was alb
somtely no reason for the rotten at
tacl.s made upon the Duke admins
tration.
Nav things have changed
Mayor Barnes. hardened politician,

improvement mayor Laudablc am.
bition But before starting on his
work the new mayor wanted a big
salary. The Leader in behalf of the
i,eople. while appauding every step
looking toward civiS improvement,
criticised the salary proposition. The
merchants of the city took up the mat
ter and passed a resolution denounc-
ing "ihe mayoralty salary raise
This enectnally does away with the
salary bugaboo.
Now we are ready for improve
ments.
The city wants paving, new indus
tries, better water--in fact business

possible to support Mayor Barnes in
everything tending toward the public
good that is open-handed, and free
from partisan taint 1t was unfortu-
