The rain Saturday night was quite plentiful on the city, lasting for lover two hours while there was not even a sprinkle a short distance east of town.

Do 1t Now.

Do it noWi"
 We laugh at the man who gives us this advice because the thing he wants us to do now is to buy his article, and we know that it is his axe that we are expected to grind.
 But it is good advice, nevertheless.
 If the man who first dreamed of the subway in New York had conr tinued to dream, and had let his dream go no further; if today he had decided to publish his dream in a letter to the newspaper, why, people would be saying: "A pipe dreamer. How could a subterranean railway be built under busy New York; And how could it be made safe even if it were built? Why will man waste his time writing fOolishness to the newspapers?'
 But whoever first dreamed that dream allowed his dream to be noised abroad, and the result is that today the subway in New York is a long accepted commonplace of travel-we even growl at it's wonderful service. and kick if it takes us over half an hour to travel the length of Manhat- tan Island.
 First. the dreamer. then the realizer of the dream. then the whole world saving impatiently: Why couldn't they have thought of that years ago?'
 Today overhead sidewalks are only a dream. In ten years time they will be so common in downtown New York that a man will be able to spend whole morning walking around the business district without descending to the street, ten stories below.-Charles Battell Loomis in the August Smiths.

eminent. II is a sad reflection. but q
true one. that six-tenths OF the appointive
and in many cases elective. officers OF
the government, are doing but very 1T
tie personal work. They draw the big
salaries. but instead OF doing the actual
work of their offices they delegate II TO
clerks while they spend a large part of
their time reading magazines and news
papers. or in forming political COtarles
etc. A short time ago we had very
efficient federal officer, Frank y. Hobbs.
He was al his office by $50 each morning.
knew all the routine of his work and
was helpful to very portion Of the office.
This matter of soldering in the o.
fees is not confined to the federal Of
fices. but extends or has extended. too
much to our county and city offices.
hence there Is crying need for personal
and Giligent work all along the line un-
I'll we have this and until we reCedc from
the policy of appointing a multiplicity or
assistants and clerks. thus fUrtherng the
bureaucratic idea. we Will continue to
have deficits and burdeusOme taxation.
am pleased to note that in several
branches of the county and city govern

personal work: but it should be general
and fl necessary. should be made so ny

order are one and the same thing.
He also said that a mistaken idea
prevailed that courts or individuals
could establish rates IN state. He
said this was purely a legislative func-

forbidden by the federal statutes from
taking any action by injunction
against state court or against the
state itself. Such an order operated
among individuals alone. he sa q.
