BURNS SEES THEM
 LESS IN EVIDENCE
WELL KNOWN POLICEMAN SAYS INCOMPETENT CANDIDATES FOR BOARD OF REVENUE ARE HAY. ING LESS TO SAY.

"The county committee has decided on date for the primary" said Policeman J. H. Burns yesterday, land has declared that the plurality plan shall rule. That is well, but with so many In the race for members of the Board of Revenue, there is still great danger that few votes will locate a board of blockheads to run our county government.
 Tt is certainly noticeable that some of the salary-seekers who were chirping so loud for office have recently drawn in their heads. For the last week we have heard very little from them, and on the other hand, some half dozen real men are entering actively into the fight.
 This is encouraging. Their campaigns are put on higher plane. Their exper- fence, their ability and their ambition to see the county affairs strengthened out argue for them. We do not hear so much of that T need the money talk, nor that stuff about I stand in with so and so at the county court house., I'll get the vote of every policeman. I'll remember my friends Those fellows have had their hands in the graft long enough, I want some.'
 s'There is different atmosphere about the race, still the senseless crowd of Rrafters is still in the ring, at work among voters of it's own caliber, and they arc q force to be reckoned with in the next election.

New York, February 23.-(Special.) )-Un- ted States Supreme Court Justice Brewer, in speaking before the Board of Educa- tion's meeting in celebration of Washing tons birthday at Cooper Union last night, took a lunge at President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft. Hea said the country, tending to idolatry of it's "fattest men," had a substitute for the club of Her cules in the ''big stick" of Theodore Roosevelt; that in it's aggrandizement of it's army and navy it has forgotten to keep on paying off the national debt; that it's municipalities, particularly New York, are running up frightful mortgages upon posterity, and that the Chinese have not been treated right in their longing for a new home.
 Justice Brewer began with the declara- ton that all aspirations of Americans are running to things of champion size.

CENTURY OLD TASK AT LAST FINISHED
Hudson River Tunnel Will Be
 Opened sn Tuesday
STUPEND0US UNDERTAKING
New Means of Transporting Passen- gers Is the Result of Labors of William G. McAdoo, a Young
 Tennessean of Energy.

New York February 23.-The cen-
 tury old task of overcoming the water barriers that have separated Manhat-
 tan Island from the country of which
 it is the metropolis, has at last been
 accomplished. The first tunnel for
 passenger traffic under the North, or
 Hudson, river will be thrown open to
 the public at noon Tuesday, The
 event which spells the eventual doom
 of the Hudson ferries and marks the
 completion of another stage of the
 vast projected system of underground
 and underwater transportation in the
 greater city, will be celebrated official
 ly by the builders and by the highest
 officials of the state and nation, and
 unoffcially by tens of thousands of
 commuters who no longer will have
 their going and coming dependent upon
 fog or ice and ferry boat delays.
 President Roosevelt at his desk "a executive offices at Washington will
 press a button to signal the opening of the tube, and the governors of New York and New Jersey will participate
 in the ceremonies at the tunnel mouth. With the exception of one line of
 railroad which crosses the Hudson at Albany and then comes in direct, line south to the Harlem river and crosses that stream into the Grand Central station all travel to New York from
 the south and west has been dependent upon ferry boat services. Many of the big steamship lines, with docks on the New Jersey side of the river also have been compelled to place tn cir, passen- gers at the mercy of the ferries, both in embarking for travel abroad and
 upon landing in this country.
 Now, after 34 years of almost con-
 stant effort, the problem of boring beneath the surface of the river has
 been solved and New York has been
 inseparably joined to the outside world.
 The first of the tunnels to be opened is a part of the so-called McAdoo sys- tenn, thus named in honor of William
 c. McAdoo, president of the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad company d
 young Tennessean, whose pluck and energy secured the backing and made
 the tunnels ansaccomplished fact. The
 bore of this first completed means of
 underwater transportation to the west
 leads from Morton street on the lower
 west side of New York to Hoboken, N. J. The tunnel consists of two tubes, In which shuttle trains of eight cars
 each, propelled by electricity, will be operated. Two more tubes of the Me-
 Adoo system are nearing completion. Their Manhattan terminus will be at Cortland street-now an important fer ry center-and the New Jersey end will be in Jersey City. Both at Hoboken and Jersey City, the tunnels have col- nection with several of the most im- portant railroads leading into the city. The North river tunnel service is to be still furth CT augmented later on by the opening of the Pennsylvania rail- road tubes to connect their lines with the Magnew station nov under con struction at Thirty-second street and Seventh avenue. The first of these bores was connected on Friday last.

BREWER DIGS AT FAT MEN
 AND FAMOUS BIG STICK

GOO immigrants. We stand like Hercules, the giant of the nations, and if we do not have his club we have the big stick of Theodore Roosevelt. But size is not all to be considered in measuring a nation. We should not strive to be simply the fattest men in the world. Just now we are manifesting fondness for military and naval glory. We magnify both army and navy. Our great expansion and rapid growth in population is developing a habit of extravaganza. More than half the 45 states are in debt. When we pass into the domains of municipal debt the figures are simply startling."
 Speaking of the nations treatment of the Chinese, the judge said:
 'Our spirit of intolerance still pursues the poor Chinese. It makes tine blood boil in the descendants of those who settled these colonies and laid the foundations of our national greatness on the eternal prn- cfples of justice. liberty and equal rights to hear Dennis Kearney and men like him, who have just been welcomed to our shores and who have not yet washed the brogue off their lips stand on the street corners and cry out:
