ENORMOUS SUM PAID BY NEW YORK FOR REMOVING
 THE BEAUTIFUL
Brings Gloom to 5oo,ooo Children.

New York, Feb. 23.-(Special cor Irespondence of The Republican.)- Recent exposures in regard to snow removal have revealed the startling fact that this article is more ex- pensive here than anywhere else in the world; that it is indeed one of the city's most expensive luxuries. Of late years the cost to the city of this commodity, which officially is re- garded as anything but beautiful, has been going up by leaps and bounds. Last year the cost of removing one inch, that is half an hours fall, was s1700O, a figure which caused all sorts of unpleasant comment and criticism. This year, however, the cost has increased more than three hundred per cent, as a result of which the cost of removal up to date has been s5S, 700 an inch, and this too in view of the fact that the city has at no time as yet had any large snowfall. Figured at this rate one
 
 days fall in a good sized storm might cost the city nearly a million dollars for its removal, to say noth- ing of the additional loss in other fields which might double that sum. Figured on a snowfall equal to that of last winter, that is, thirty-two inches, the cost of removing it un- rra fn s1,S5S, 400 compared to $551, 1904 twelve months ago. Much of this surprising cost, it is asserted, is due to graft and improper methods, under which contractors are paid so much for each cubic yard of snow delivered at the dumps on the river fronts. Un- der this system each cart is sup posed to bear a letter showing its capacity. It is asserted, however, that contractors whose carts have been in use, and the checkers at the dumps by whom checks on the city are is sued fo rthe. yardage delivered have been in collusiOn, with the result that the driver of a cart containing two cubic yards of snow received a check calling for payments of three yards, and so on. The additional amounts thus fraudulently charged to the city, it is asserted, have resulted in one of the easiest forms of graft since the Tweed days. Altogether the city does not relish the arrival of snow any more than it does the distinction of paying more for that article. commonly looked upon as free. than any other city in the world.

That tuberculosis should be fought break of smallpox, is the statement with which medical experts have star tied New York and which is now be- ing seriously discussed. Such action and the continuance of experiments upon animals to learn additional facts regarding the disease which causes, approximately, one death in every ten, is declared to be the only hope of sue cessfully coping with it. This phase of the subject has been called to public attention by Dr. Herman M. Biggs, gen. eraI medical officer of the city's health department, who is responsible for the

Any one who can satisfactorily an swer the question as to when a camel is not a camel. will be cOnferring a boon on the scientists of this city who delight in the study of evolution. The question is not a riddle. but a matter of violent debate, in no way related to the conundrum which enquiries as to when a door is not a door. The answer is not nearly so simple-in fact, as yet no answer at all has been found. and it's final achievement is likely to result in all sorts of scientific recrim- nations The whole matter takes its origin from a statement recently made by Professor Loomis before a scien- tific meeting at the Hotel Astor that the camel as we know it today is of American, and not Asiatic, origin. He explained, as a result of his investiga- tions in the southwest, that the animal in question began its existence in this country some three million years ago, as shown by fossil remains. In sup port of his argument, he exhibited specimens of the alleged camel varying from the size of jack-rabbit, and having four toes and no sign of hump, up to larger specimens of later period, with horns resembling small antelopes more than anything else. Unfortunately for Americas claim to the first camel as advanced by Pro lessor Loomis, various scientists have risen up and asserted that the speci- mems which he held to be prehistoric camels were nothing more than pre- historic rabbits and antelOpes. Back of them is the support of the laymen, who argue that an animal that resem- bles a rabbit more than anything else was just as much a rabbit three mill ion years ago as now, and that the antelope-sized specimens were ante lopes, especially in view of the fact that cameIs never had any horns. So the question. which promises to divide scientists into two camps still re- mains. When is a camel not camel? The answer given by those who dis agree with Professor LoOmis is: When it is a rabbit or an antelope.

Our Silent Millionsires.

The prominence given constantly to
a few Of our very rich men, gives rise
to the general impression that Ameri-
can multi-millionaires may be counted
off on the fingers by any child old
enough to read, until suddenly the I'M
to remind us Of the existence Of a
great number Of silent millionaires
who are using their vast funds for
the benefit Of humanity in their own
quiet way. A week Ago., the name Of
John s. Kennedy would not have at
trscted attention anywhere, and the
fact of his death stirred no breakfast
table talk except the comment that
such an old man should fall a victim
to whooping cough. When his will
discloses that he had ~beQueathed $685.

without %proclaiming from the house
tops the possession of fabulous wealth.
America has a large number of such
men as Mr.. Kennedy, VINO have accum.
ulated great fortunes and are admins
tering them in an unostentatious but
serviceable way. OF late several such
men have been deliberately dragged
forth into the limelight in illustration
of the very fact that the country does
not fully appreciate the worth of its
silent ~millionaires, but they have inva.
riably come forth from their seclusior
reluctantly, and none of the noise
made about them has been Of theil
doing or their desire. 1t is always
in good taste, even lin a millionaire, t
be as inconspicuous as possible. Tn,
worth of a modest mind is well illus
trated by the anecdote Of the strug
Cling young couple who suddenly

death by the judgment OF a tribunal before
which he was not even allowed to appear.
That is why, too. our federal courts to-
day condemn to long terms OF imprison-
ment the powerful financier whose mis-
deeds have brought distress to many, but
lnterposo the shield Of the constitution be-
tween the newspaper men at Indianapolis,
and the efforts Of an offended government
10 drag them across the continent for trial.
While II should ever be the effort 20
improve the system and better the proce-
dure. yet we must adhere to the funda-
mentals. Our courts must express By their
decisions the law Of the land. not the per-
sonsl predictions Of the judges.
This lucid statement is we'll worth
study. Ours is a government of law,
and more than that, a government sub
ject to law. The highest law is the
federal constitution before which any
conflicting state constitution or federal
or state law must give way. Within
the spheres Of the respective states the
highest law is the state constitution,
before which legislature-enacted stat
ute in conflict must give way. The
court that upholds the constitution
may have to nullify laws passed in VIC
lation Of its provisions, but the court
which seeks to nullify the constitution
in order to uphold specific legislation
attacks the bulwarks Of our liberties
and saps the foundations of our free
government. The Judges who wilfully
nullify the constitution rlghtfully ex,
pose themselves to impeachment. Ours
is a government of lava law which
must govern judges and law-makeri
just the same as It governs the privat,
individual.

An American Philosopher.

The popular mind sees in the death
Of DR.. William Torrey Harris the pass
ing of a noted educator, and laments
him as such, but here was a far greater
mind thar the general public realizes.
Profound thinkers the world over had
recognized the depth of his scholar
ship. This was not limited to the
pedagogy whose principles he had de-
fined for America and whose theories
he had put into practice during his
term Of office as commissioner of edu-
cation, nor to the ~philology which had
made him competent to administer the
functions Of editor-in-chief of the
most comprehensive and authoritative
American dictionary. Beyond his emf
nent services as an educator and an
editor, his work in the field Of phil
osophy stands pre-eminent.
America has had few great philoso-
piers, since the day of the earliest,
Jonathan Edwards. While one in
stantly recalls Europe's famous names
in this realm of thought, he who is
asked to name Americas chief philos-
opher would stop ordinarily at Elmer
son. Yet 1t was Emerson's work which
Harris continued, and, in a way, per-
fected. The Concord School Of Phil
osophy held no more capable advocate
than Harris, and he went beyond the
Concord limitations and interpreted
for all Americans seriously bent on
knowledge and the pursuit of truth the
minds of the great masters Of the
older world. AS an expositor OF German
philosophical thought, he vas one of
the clearest; he gave to America, both
through his translations and his expo
%sitions, the full logic of the great
Hegel. His birth followed Hegel's
death, but in the works of Harris the
works Of Hegel grew, and in the final
estimate of Harris he will be acclaimed
as the one man in America who was
chief instrument in p%opularizing the
German idealism, as far as philosophy
can be popularized.
Contemporaneous with George Stu
art Fullerton and William James, he
yet outranked them both. Fullerton
rendered valuable service with his crit
zeal studies, but Harris surpassed him
in extending the range of vision. James
was a brilliant advocate of keen, orig
inal views, but Harris gave a system
attic presentation from a consistent
point of view. His books will live
as among the deepest and clearest
wells of ~philosophic truth.

GaYnor and the YeIlows


1t will be curious to see how far
Judge Gaynor proceeds when he as
sumes the office of mayor of New York
toward fulfilling his prediction pledge
to go after the yellow press Of Manhat-
tan and eradicate what he termed "as-
sassination by SANDER and libel, 4"
which, since the arrival of a certain
individual" had become in his judg-
ment "a system and a trade"
This is a self-imposed task of the
mayor-elect. No one had asked him
for such a pledge; the people were too
busy keeping pace with the new names
being coined daily in the campaign of
personalities. But since Mr.. Gaynor
deliberately announced his intention
of teaching these libellers a lasting
lesson through the criminal law" both
the yellows whom he thus dehes and
the reputable journals who disown the
yellows, will watch for his next step
in this direction.
Mr.. Gaynor will have a reform dis
trict attorney, and If any of the old
offenders continue to put themselves
within the range Of prosecution he
may have a chance to make at least an
effort. But he will find his foe as cum

What's in a Name

Shall the upper classmen of an east
ern university be condemned because
they flunked in the examination de-
signed to show their familiarity with
public names? Not to know the three
full names of the president, for in
stance, does not necessarily argue
Grass ignorance of or indifference to
either the personality or the official
Importance of the chief executive. The
voter sees the name William Howard
Taft once in the papers when nomi-
mated, and once again when he is in
a%ugurated and never again does he
see anything but "Mr. Taft" or Pres
ident Taft" or probably some familiar
nickname. The same was true of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, and chances are that
the average man asked what was Mr..
Roosevelt's middle name would imme-
diateIy hazard an initial or admit that
he did not know. 1t is but a short
time since the vice president was in
Quoted into office, yet how many, off
hand, can repeat his name? Or who
can write out, much less pronounce,
the %euphonious letters that combine to
indicate the identity of our secretary
of state? F&Rsfwi
No, the lack of familiarity with
personal nomenclature does not put
the Brown boys any more to the blush
than it does the average citizen who
is successfully supporting his family
and establishing his small need of
fame. And after all, what is there
in knowing mems full names and load
ing up the mind with the contents of
a congressional directory. The one
word Roosevelt, or the one word Taft,
is sufficient to c~onjure up a mental
picture of the man and his personality.
II a man has sunk his identity into
that of a public institution, it is but
natural that the citizen will recognize
only the office, not the occupant; but
where a man stands out apart from
his great office, as in the cases of
Roosevelt or Taft, the baptismal words
do not count in establishing the meas
ure of the man.

The Personal Equation in Wrecks.

Examination of the governments
latest reports on railroad accidents in
the United States shows that the old
theory that the personal equation is
responsible in nearly every case still
holds good. Some years ago bad rails
were blamed, and it was found thai
the human element had neglected the
precautions against defects in speeding
the manufacture of the rails. Public
opinion and losses by the railroads re-
stored the steel product to it's former
grade.
The wrecks that seem to the layman
the most blameworthy are collisions,
but when run down, the list Of causes
of this class of wrecks turns in every
case on the fatal personal equation.
One block signalman Of years of ex-
p~erience became confused during his
first day on duty with a new road, and
failed to display a stop signal after
receiving a dispatch SC to do. A dis
patcher's careless writing OF two fig

trainman was the combination in an
other instance. Forgetfulness of
which the operator ear give no expla-
nation caused him to signal a clear
track after receiving a definite order
to stop a certain train. A conductor
misread the figures on a blurred time
table. A dispatcher with an absolutely
clear record for sixteen years mis-
stated the station at which a train was
to take a siding. Another dispatcher
sent an inconsistent message which
two other operators copied and passed
on to tFainmen without either noticing
the palpable discrepancy. In every
one Of these cases the initial error
might have been detected II the mar
committing it had used the established
safeguards provided to check such
blunders, or II the men to whom the
errors were transmitted had had theil
minds alert on their duties.
