there was no small boy-no sounding
OF the liberty bell.
Indeed, ii was not until July 9th that
the Declaration appeared in the Penn
sylyania Packet. On the Sth il was read
in the State House yard. The patriots
turned out in great crowd, and the
reader, John Nixon, was checred to the
echo. After the ceremony the crowd
turned its attention TO the kings coat
of-arms, which was suspended over the
doorway in the courtroom of the State
House, tearing it down and taking il
out and burning II. In many places the
reading Of the Declaration, which had
been ordered by Congress, was attended
by similar acts Of destruction.
Demonstration Not Noisy.
As a whole, the demonstrations were
not noisy or destructive. The army,
which might have been expected to in
dulge in some very vindictive perfor
mances, received the news quietly, and
in many cases the people seemed TO feel
deeply the solemnity of the step which
| Congress had taken, and to have rightly
concluded that prayers were more ap-
propTiate TO the occasion than the tear
| ing down of statues. The only colony

speeding from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific coast
1t would seem to some chimerical
to predict the doom. in the near fu-
ture. o. the steam locomotive. yet one
of the officials of the New York Cen
trail railroad has publicly stated that
in his opinion there will be no steam
locomotives operating on the New
York Central in ten years. Already
the New York Central is arranging to
substitute electric power on its lines
from New York City to a point forty
miles from the Grand Central station,
and extensive tests in the use of the
electric locomotives are being made
between Rochester and Buffalo. The
Pennsylvania is now operating electric
trains between Atlantic City and Phil.
adelphia with much success. The
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad is operating its trains from
Stamford, Conn. to New York by cleo
trio power.
These rapid changes are leading
TO one end--the Capitalization of
power development and distribution.
They point TO the time. and at no
distant day, when great central plants
will be located at the various mine
centers and the electric power will be
transmitted and distributed to rail-
roads. industrial plants, cities and to
various institutions where electrical
energy is needed. The great railroads
will operate their trains by electricity,
and the passengers will be freed from
the annoyance of smoke and cinders:
and the railroad locomotives and the
railroad yards which are now the most
unsightly places in our cities win be-
come comparatively clean and free
from smoke. Furthermore, the intro
duction of cheaper electric power will
displace the scores of belching chin
neys and the befogged atmosphere OF
our cities will be cleared, and the city
clean and comfortable. will become a
reality and not a dream"

WHAT is THE TROUBLED

Why cannot people living on the

with the system, in keeping with an
ordinance demanding that such be
done? Is the ordinance a farce, or
was It intended as a joke. or is it a
law that can be put into effect? II Il
is a joke. 1t should be repealed. If it
is law II should be enforced As II
stands now people ignore Il.
and the man who voluntarily met the
requirements OF the law has sewer
connection, while his neighbor main
tains a nuisance next door The man
who put in the sewer has not profitCd.
except in the matter of personal con-
venience. He is still surrounded by
Jnsanitary conditions. Can the city
enforce this ordinance? If It can.
will it do it? If ii cannot enforce 1t
the fact should be made known. and
an effort made to pass an ordinance
that can be enforced.
in this same connection some means
should be found of extending the sew
er system to cover the entire city. AT
