case q good deal less basely and much
more plausibly.
There is perhaps this much truth in
that, that most people do need a GER

standard of achievement to do their
best, but to say that this is provided
by private ownership and can only be
provided by private ownership. is an
altogether different thing. Is the

very much, by the bye, in the way of
efficiency-by the protests Of the
shareholders or of the subscribers?
Does the grocer's errand boy loiter
any less than his brother who carries
the postoffice kilograms? In the mat
ter of the public milk supply again,
would not an intelligently critical
public, anxious for its milk good and
early, be more formidable master
than a speculative proprietor in the
back room of q creamery? And when
one comes to large business organiza-
tons managed by officials and owned
by dispersed shareholders, the contrast
is all to the advantage of the COM
munity.
No! the only proper virtues in work,
the ones that have to be relied upon,
and developed and rewarded in the
civilized state, are the spirit of service
and the passion for doing well, the
honorable competition not to get but
to do. By sweating and debasing
energy, we get meagerly done what We
might get handsomely done by the
good will of emancipated mankind.
For all who really make, who really
do, the imperative of gain is the in
convenience, the enemy. Every artist,
every scientific investigator, every
organizer, every good workman knows
that. Every good architect knows
that this is so and can tell of time after
time when he has sacrificed manifest
profit and taken loss to get a thing
done as he wanted it done, right and
we'll; every good doctor, too, has turn
ed from profit and high fees to the
moving and interesting case, to the
demands of knowledge and the public
health; every teacher worth his or her
salt can witness to the perpetual strug-
gle between business advantage and
right teaching; every writer has faced
the alternative of his aesthetic duty
and the search for beauty on the one
hand and the "salable" on the other.
All this is as true of ordinary making
as of special creative work. Every
plumber capable of his business hates
to have to paint his leadwork; every
carpenter knows the disgust of turn
ing out cheap unfinished work, how
ever we'll it pays him; every tolerable
cook can feel shame for an unsatisfy-
ing dish, and none the less shame be.

COUNCIL IN VAR
OF WORDS OVER
NEW FIRE HOUSE
lryington Trade Board Protests
Location, but Ordinance
Is Passed.
REORGANIZE POLICE
FORCE OF THE TOWN
Provisions Made for Additions
to the Service-Chief's Salary
Is Fixed at $1,000.

The amended ordinance r~eorganizing
the police department was passed
unanimously by the %Irvington Town
Council last night. Under its provi-
sions the police force will consist of a
chief of police and a sergeant, or as
sistant chief. and the police commit
tee is authorized to add to the number
of roundsmen, patrolmen and chance
men, as the service may demand, not,
however, to exceed one for every 700
inhabitants.
The salary of the chief is fixed at
$1,000 per year; the assistant chiefs at
$500, and the patrolmen will receive
sS40 to be paid in equal monthly
amounts.
The ordinance to build a new fire.
house in Colt street was passed on
third reading. Councilman Ackerson j,
States dissenting. A delegation from
the Board of Trade led by former Free
holder jacob, protested the action.
Mr.. States, representative of the
First ward, opposed the expenditure of
so much money for fire protection in
the location proposed, believing tina
the centre of the town should be the
main point for consideration. and that
a $4,000 building would amply serve
the requirements of the factory dis
trict. Councilman Henry O.. Osborne,
also of the First ward. voiced the SEN
timents of the other members by de-
claring that the contemplated firehouse
was a necessity in the proposed loca-
ton and that Mr.. States, to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, the Council could
legally advertise for bids before pass
ing the ordinance.
Mr.. jacob stated the position OF the
Board of Trade. He raid hat his
board was not opposed to fire protec-
ton in the factory district, but believed
that the western section and the Man
haitian Park part of the town should
have equally effective fire protection.
Councilman August L. Lacombe
maintained that the fire and water
committee was perfectly justified in
selecting the present site, as the great
est loss by fire had been sustained in
that section.

Wasn't Objected To.

The spirit of unrest that has lowered
over the Orange Valley hating district
this week. since two residents, both
former union men, and some women

move on. Following the refusal of the
police to disturb Davis, Northrop, ac-
cording to the police, told them they
were only blankety-blank common po-
lice anyway, While he was a county Of
ficer. The arcasm vas too much for
the police and Northrop was taken to
the lookup.
Northrop Case Is Postponed.
He was represented in court today by

young men. They had sent word or

CHASE OF 4
THREELEGGEDD DOG
IN SOUTH ORANGE
Entire Police Force and Most Of
the Citizens Join in the
Pursuit.
REVOLVERS BANG AND ALL
SORTS OF MISSILES FLY.
Bicycle Policeman Upset by the
Animal, Who Hobbies Along
Toward Newark.

A three-legged dog, supposedly mad,
caused a scare in South Orange today.
Nearly the whole police force with
drawn revolvers chased the crazed
brute through the streets; business men
left their shops to join in the chase,
and workmen armed with weapons
nearest at hand sought 10 kill the anil
NAL Despite all this the dog escaped
In the direction of this city.
The animal was first sighted by
Bicycle Policeman Michael Lally in
South Orange avenue. Frothing at h
mouth the dog went tearlng along
toward this city on three legs. Tie
other leg had evidently been just cut
off in an accident. as the stump was
still bleeding. Lally fired at the brute
as it neared him and missed. Mounting
his wheel he rave chase and overlook
the animal on the platform of the
Lackawanna railroad station. The cry
Of mad dog" had been raised in the
meantime along South Orange avenue
and it seemed as if the entire popula-
ton turned out. Because of the crowd
around the station Lally had difficulty
In getting a shot at the dog and WHEN
he did pull the trigger the bullet
whizzed over the animals head.
Sergeant Joins pursuers.
Up First street the dog darted with
several policemen and a crowd in Dur-
suit. A telephone message reached the
police station and Sergeant Frank II.
Kenny, who was on duty, darted out
TO join the other cops md the crowd
which at this time was chasing the dog
around the block. Policeman John
Matte met the animal at Valley road
and First street and fred at it. His
aim was no better than Lally's and
the dog turned around and started IN
the direction of Ridgewood road. Down
Third street and back to the depot the
dog went with the crowd still in pur-
suit.
James keenan,, one of q crowd of
baseball players who were standing on
the station, threw a baseball bat at the
deg and knocked it down. It was up
in a fifty and off again.
Out on South Orange avenue the
dog was greeted with missiles of every
description from the storekeepers.
Charles |. Beck contributed a large
rake from his supply. Policeman Lally,
on his wheel, was more than a block
in the rear all the way along South
Orange avenue, and Policeman Matte,
who stands 6 feet 3 inches in his bare
feet and weighs in the neighborhood OF
$50 pounds. ran painting along as far
as Cottage street. where he collapsed.
Unset the Policeman.
