form and gets elected President of Queens. The
leadership of reform then devolves upon Joe
Berme who performs that function with such
success that Joe" Cassidy is soon deposed and
Joe Bcrmel becomes President Instantly
reform under Joe Cassidy takes the ag-

Europe. leaving reform in the hands Of Joe
Cassidy and office in the hands of Lawrence
Gresser-why his name isn't Joe we don't

reap the well earned rewards of reform, and
"Joe" Bermel, the waters of one of the German
baths having taken the rheumatism out Of his
conscience. is in fine fettle to resume the leader
ship of reform as soon as Joe" Cassidy re-
signs it. Under such auspcious conditions 1t
is a matter of congratulation that the con-

REFORWS GREAT VICTORY.

Nothing gives us greater pleasure than TO
chronicle the victory for reform in Queens. The
success Of Joe" Cassidy at the primaries shows
that the civic conscience of that borough is
stirring nightly, and it presages. in the Opin-
ion Of competent observers, his election next
November 70 succeed President Gresser, the
reyersionary of ex-President Joe" Bermel, who
left Office in incontnent haste. The reason
joe Bormel quit office in ncontfnent haste
was Joe" Cassidy, who, In his own proper per
son has been for some time the Bureau Of
Municipal Research and Citizens Union Of
Queens rolled into one. and who. besides. has
been the angel of the uplift, financing reform
with deep drafts upon his pocket. His success
is well earned. and II is cheering because it
shows that the civic conscience Of Queens is
as keen ever.
Shrewd observers predicted this victory for
reform with the utmost confidence the moment
Joe" Bermel returned from Europe. Why
did this circumstance presage the other? Any
one who asks this question Is deeply ignorant
Of civic affairs at the other end Of COmmis-
sioner Stevcnson's expensive bridge. Simply
because il showed that Joe" Bermel was pre-
pairing 10 step into his accustomed place as
the leader of reform And this Indicated that
Joe" Cassidy about TO quit reform for Of
fee.
To make this clear let us explain: Reform In
queens moves IN circles like history, also like

Even this deporable North Pole controversy

nations A vicar Of the Established Church
who processes "a deep interest in the alleged
discovery of the North Terrestrial Pole takes
DR.. Cook sharply to task. with the emphasis OF
exclamation points. for his statement that when
he was at the North Pole his compass pointed
due south. IF he really did reach the North
Pole" solemnly declares the reverend gentle
man. with fine air of geographical OmniscienCe,
''his compass would not point due south, but
considerable distance to the westward of south

least charitably hope that his theology is
sounder than his geography!
