Pittsburg. Pa, June 4.-H. c. Frick
has become worried about the future of
Pittsburg, and he has called the mayor
and other leading citizens of Pittsburg
to stand by him in trying to hold the
city to its former prestige, if not make
it a better and larger city than before
There was a conference between
Mayor Magee, some of the leading
fnanciers. and Mr. Frick in the office of
the latter yesterday afternoon in which
the present Of Pittsburg compared with
the past and the future was discussed
at length.
Fears Encroachment of Gary.
After the conference the following
statement was made by one who was
present
Mr.. Frick warned Pittsburg as a
city and its business men against the
encroachment upon its heritage by the
new steel city of Gary. He said that
Pittsburg must fight for new business,
and not only that, but must be con-
tinually on guard to hold what it has
already gained. He cautioned against
any picayune policy in improvement,
and urged that Pittsburg rise to the
occasion and achieve for the city a
higher rank among the great cities of
the country.
Sees Danger in Lake Ports.
While Mr.. Frick's reference was in
the main to Gary, it is understood that
he discussed all lake ports which have
of late shown a disposition to manu-
facture iron and steel. taking the
ground that each new plant made at a
lake side detracted so much from the
wealth of Pittsburg Mr.. Frick VIII

SCHOOL FOR PALISADE.

The Board of Education of Fort
Lee has announced its Willingness to
make provision by next year for a
public school building i'll Palisade.
This is good news, for nothing will
do more to help Palisade along than
this much needed Improvement. The
fact that the Hudson River Realty
has wisely donated large plot Of
ground for school purposes is an
added incentive for the mother Dor
ough to go ahead and give us a good,
substantial school building. This it
will do, beyond the shadow of doubt.
1t is interesting to know in this con
nection that the local member of the
Board of Education, H. d. Douglas,
has been empowered to employ
kindergarten teacher for next session,
and the coming fall will begin the
first real public school service for
the tots of Palisade under borough
domination All of which is highly
interesting news and shows the proper
spirit of progress.

THE SQUARE DEAL.

How many people ever stop to con-
slider what square deal means?
The man who knows what it means
and lives up to the square deal has
to fortify himself in many ways and
throw out a line of defense that
would stagger the general of an army.
Yet, as matter of fact the square
deal is Of very simple performance.
1t means everything that an honest
and upright man should perform to-
ward his fellows. 1t means the throw
ing off of sham and leading life Of
charity for all 1t means so much
that man may do if he so will
Do you give the office boy the
square? Do you load him down with
arduous duties, when you know he's
only boy and likes play?
Do you give your wife the square
deal? Do you show her the consid-
Grafton due her position? Do you
complain at her and nag her with
seedlings when she does the best she
can at all times?
Do you, woman, give your husbands
the square deal? Do you allow him
the sweet privilege Of coming home
nights after a days hard labor, when
to feel tired and get rest is a happi-
ness? Do you interrupt his peace Of
mind with abuse and unkind illusions?
DO you do your duty by him? That's
the answer on the square deal line.
Do you, boys and girls, stop to think
how a parents heart is made happy
in the knowledge that the child is
doing its duty? If you haven't thought
of this, try it on once and see how
bright the world will seem to you;
how your heart will Tighten and you
can love the songs Of birds more
than you ever did in your life before.
There is more of Gods sunshine in
a realization of duty we'll performed
than comes from any other balm
known TO the human heart
And do you, you common, every
day man-do you know what the
square deal is? DO you tighten the
burden Of those with whom you come

A CLEAN DRAMA.

The warfare Of William Winter in
behalf of a clean drama was to be
expected of man of his eminent fine
quality. He is the Grand Old Man
of lyric art-the grandest critic OF
them all, and he knows of the decad
ence of stage merit better, perhaps,
than any man living. And best of
all he dares to assert himself, calling
the present day tendencies "the drama
of dirt" Mr. Winter has been con
tinuing his crusade of publication
long while now, and it is beginning
to bear fruit He is backed up by
many prominent newspapers and
leaders of thought in the pulpit all
over the country.
Certainly the country needs a puri-
hcation of the stage. 1t stands to-
day in a degraded light and for twenty
gears has done nothing to elevate
mankind 1t has satiated the public
with a plethora of bad morals and
worse AIT. II udS SlOI lHCQ llSCll III
building great playing houses and
temples of music and debauched these
by the introduction of productions un-
fit for the public to see. Curiosity
leads the public to put up its dollars
to see nasty dramas-not interest. One
night of Anna Held is enough for
any decent man or woman, yet people
go and go to see this creature de
dauch herself in suggestive scenes be
cause the drama has fallen that low
that people go because it is fashion

The surest way to kill off the
drama of dirt" is not to patronize
it. This will help Mr. Winters war
fare. The managers may cry from
the housetops that they want a cessa-
ton of bad plays, but why do they
hold on to them? Why does not the
trust concentrate upon more whole
some productions? If the public will
swell the patronage Of the best plays
it will serve as an object lesson to
the managers that bad plays-"the
drama Of dirt''-arc not wanted

Pinchot Not to Resign,

That there is no fear of Clifford
Pinchot, chief of the forestry
bureau Of the agricultural depart
ment, resigning his position is the
conclusion to be drawn from the
result of conference between him
and President Taft at Salt Lake
city, last Saturday. Statements
given out by both men on that
date indicate that both are imbued
with a desire to carry out the
Roosevelt Pinchot conservation
policies. The President takes
occasion to laud Pinchot for his
work, and the latter says he will
not resign, but will remain in the
government service.

Takes Issue With Hepburn.

In an interview published at
Washington, Secretary of Agri-
culture James A Wilson takes
issue with Senator w. B. Hepburn
OF Idaho in regard to the sentiment
of the people of the Gem state
towards the policy of the forest
service in reserving forest lands.
Secretary Wilson declares that the
sentiment is overwhelmingly favor
able to the reserves and instead of
clamoring for elimination of the
lands from the reserves, eight out
OF every nine people he met in
Idaho expressed the wish that
more lands be added, particularly
grazing lands.
Secretary Wilson recently took a
trip to Idaho and while here made
a careful investigation of the work
ings of the service in this state
and also listened to the various
opinions of those interested in the
reserves. The conditions we're
thoroughly gone into and when he
had finished he learned that the
people as a whole were very much
pleased with the reserves as they
now stand and if there was to be
any change, additions were desired.

localities the pressures are from 100
to 200 pounds to the square inch, and
some. of these high. pressure wells
furnish power for running large mills.
Over thousand deep wells have been
sunk In the portion Of the State lying
east of the Missouri River, most of
which are from 500 to 900 feet deep
and yield flows Of large volume. The
aggregate flow from these wells IS
estimated to be about ten million
gallons day, and it is largely en-
ployed in irrigation, although part of
1t runs to waste. 1t is believed by
some persons that owing to this great
draft on the waters the available
supply is diminishing, but as yet
there is no valid evidence that this is
the case, excepting locally, where
there are numerous wells close to.
